Shortcuts/Quick dial on Nokia 5800

I've recently purchased a Nokia 5800 and have set up 4 members of my family as the Quick Dial contact icons on the main screen.
However, when I click on a particular contact and then on the Call icon I don't get any choice over which number the phone calls - despite the fact that I have work, home and mobile numbers saved for all my contacts.
I would like to know if there is any way that you can choose which number you want to call from this screen rather than going through to the Contacts menu (as this defeats the object of having a quick dial shortcut).
Ideally I would like pressing the call button to result in a drop down list of numbers so that I can choose the most appropriate number.
Is this possible as it's always been the case on all my other Nokia's and I miss it on this new phone?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I agree that being able to dial any available number for the four favorites would be nice, it is at least possible to select which of their numbers you want to be the default. If you want to change that:
Go to Contacts, find the person
Select Options
Defaults
Phone number
and choose the one you want to be the default speed-dial.

Shortcut to quick dial contacts

Is there any way to add a shortcut on the home screen to the quick dial contacts that you have entered?

Hi, I have a Nokia E72. Seems to me that the basic phone is quite limited in customization. I previously had a Samsung Omnia and used SPB Mobile Shell which gave me a lot of freedom in customizing the phone.
I am now looking at a similar shell for the Nokia - at the moment I am trying Handy Shell - seems reasonable but I would like to find the best one. Do you know of any place where I could find comparisons or can you make a recomendation?

Nokia 5800 - Letters missing on dial keypad

Here is the email about missing letters on dial keypad I sent to Nokia USA and UK, and their replies:
Hello,
I recently noticed that there are no letters on the dial keypad. This is a very necessary feature when entering a alphanumeric login in a voice menu system while on the phone. Do you have plans to add this in future firmware?
This was also pointed out in CNET's review of Nokia 5800.

I noticed this, too, but found a "workaround" (until Nokia updates their firmware to include this function). USE the "Notes" APPLICATION, OPEN a “New Note”, then "touchpad" in the blank-lined area to start entering text. The default "mini QWERTY keyboard" will pop up (well, that's what I have set for my text input). In the lower right-hand corner of the "mini QWERTY keyboard" (also in the "Full Screen QWERTY keyboard" OR the "Handwriting keyboard", if you have either of these set for your default text input), there is a small image of a keyboard. When selected, a MENU pops up, allowing you to SELECT an option for an "ALPHANUMERIC KEYPAD" for text input into the "Notes" application. You can get the numerical correspondence for spelled-out phone numbers like 1-800-iLIKE-YOU (1-800-454-3968) [I don't know or care if that's a "real" number, I'm just using it here as an example] and can just remember them and input them manually into your “Dialer” application, or, you can “type” it directly into the blank “New Note” you already have open, SELECT and EDIT->COPY the number into the phone’s memory, then switch to the “Dialer” application (PRESS and HOLD the WHITE middle button on the lower touchpad until the "open items" display appears, allowing you to select the HOME or the previously-opened "Dialer" application), open the "Dialer" menu and EDIT->PASTE the previously-copied number into the “Dialer” application. Press the “Dial” function icon and the number will be appropriately dialed. Whew! It gets a little easier with practice, especially if you use the GREEN BUTTON on the lower left of the phone’s touchpad, HOLDING IT DOWN until the “Voice Command” application initiates, then say out loud “Notes”, and the phone will switch to the “Notes” application with relative ease, so you’re just a few seconds away from having a “real” alphanumeric keypad that can be used to “decode” those alphanumeric phone numbers many businesses advertise.

Nokia 5800 behaves strange

When i purchased Nokia 5800, i found it really good and i thought, this is my best phone till date. But lately, it really made me bad with tons of bugs showing every other day. Here are the list.
1- Install many applications in your phone and your scrollbar in Application will behave really bad. It does not scroll properly. You can not see the applications in the last row in grid view. You will have to tocuh the screen carefully to make it upwards to see the application icons that are not showing with scrollbars. I will soon paste image here as my cell is in Nokia Care now.
2- Change the font size of your cell to small and then do a grid view. You will not be able to see the name of icons. small font size works fine only with list view.
3. Play a big .flv file and after running smothly for sometime. It starts behaving bad. sound breaks and you are not able to listen sound properly.
4. Open a .flv file and while it's opening. Tocuh it to make full screen and you will see d-pad that you see when you play flash games. Do we need it while watching .flv. I need to wait for it to open and then only i can touch to screen to make it full screen. That shows it's poor performance.
5. Press quick media bar shortcut in home screen and you will see your clock hides first than other elements on the screen. It's shows the UI repaint is so slow that you can see the difference in elements being hide.
6. I don remember, if i ever played with my cell too much, but yet within 4 months of it's usage. My LCD is gone. When someone call or when i on the screen. It shows paraller lines with background colors of home screen icons. It functions when you touch the screen, but you are not able to see anything on the screen. It happens so frequent and your money what you put on your cell goes in vain.
Problems
1. I had a theme and a wallpaper in my cell other than default theme when i was doing a mass storage. As soon as i plugged the USB and it selected mass storage. My cell automatically changed its theme and wallpaper to default one that comes when you purcahse cell. It become slow and the last dialled green button stopped working in home screen. It woks in other screens but not on home screen. It means i am not able to dial the last dialled number.
2. One of my image showing more than 40 times in Gallery with the same name. What i did is deleted the one and it's no more in file system, but it's still there as icon in Gallery and when i try to delete all those duplicate icons. It says can't delete. General error. I have more than 40 dead icons and i am not able to do anything.
3. Sometimes my clock on home screen just dont displayes. Click on the clock's place and come back to home screen and it will show you the clock. but again move to any other screen and come back to home screen and again clock is not there. Everytime, i need to see the clock, i have to touch the clock's place and then back to home screen to see the clock and that too, till the time , i am in home screen.
4. Play some videos and your cell will become too hot to touch it. Feels like it will burn out.
5. My very old Nokia 2650 has better sound. when someone calls me and i am not in a quiet place. I have to open speaker to listen the voice properly. I feel it's low compare to my oldest cell.
6. Recently listened the songs on Nokia E63 with same headphone i use and the sound quality is much much better than my 5800.
Features Missing
1. Flv player does not give seekbar functionality. If i have a big video file say for 10 minutes and i want to see portion of it. I am not able to see. Either from start or from the place where it stopped. Why no seekbar like other players when play mp4.
Other than these, I have a long list of small small problems i face, since my cell is in Nokia care, i am not able to write them here.
If anyone else has the same problems, then please share here.

This most be because you have the theme installed on the card which is what the mass storage uses. Reinstall it to your main memory.

Problem with Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

Hello. I have a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music for about a year now and been taking great care of it. I don't know why but a while ago it started freezing at times when i would try to turn on the camera..had to multiple times restart the phone and remove the battery in order to make it work (In the open applications menu it would show the camera running but you wouldn't be able to use it). Then i noticed that the two touch buttons it has in the main screen (dialing and phonebook shortcuts) wont work either, no matter how many times i press them nothing happens. Same goes for the Green and Red button on the left and the right side of the phone (Accept/Decline buttons), they won't work either when i'm on the main screen (wallpaper), they do work in the main menu though. I tried resetting my phone to manufacturer settings but nothing happened. What is wrong with my phone? Can anybody help me with it very please?

@guilty_gr
Welcome to the forum!
When you say restored "factory settings" I don't know whether you mean that you backed up essential data then keyed in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself); I would remove any memory card first and see if any difference before restoring device.

Nokia 5800 Layout trouble!

Hey guys,
About a month ago, my new nokia 5800 which i recieved on a plan using virgin fell into water. I bought a new one from a website called topbuy.com.au, which came from Hong Kong, although claimed to be made at the same factory as all the other phones. When i received my new phone, i was suprised to see that everything seemed to be in order, and that it all looked fine.
When i started the phone i noticed many problems with my layout. It all seemed very awkward, and the Add button for the quick contact function was large. I also had 2 buttons saying telehpone and contacts at the bottom of the screen instead of the 2 icons that were there on my older phone. I also do not have the full screen qwerty keyboard available, or atleast cannot find it, when i want to text. Another small thing i noticed was that when i scrolled through with the stylus, for example through the messageing menu, instead of stopping at the top or bottom it would keep scrolling untill i stopped.
Sorry for the wall of text, but i would appreciate any help that anyone could offer.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds like your new 5800 has the new version 40 firmware on it.
This version includes a new and improved contacts homescreen that allows for 20 contacts instead of 4. It's not possible to have the old version back. If you aren't bothered about the contacts homescreen you can switch to the shortcuts screen giving you back the two icons.
Menu > Settings > Personal > Home screen > Home screen theme > Shortcuts bar
The scrolling you have noticed is called kinetic scrolling. This was also added in v40 and cannot be disabled. The faster you swipe the faster it will move.
The full screen qwerty appears automatically when you rotate the phone when using the alphanumeric keyboard. Auto rotate needs to be enabled in the settings for this to work.

Disappointed with home screen on my Nokia 5800

I'm pleased overall with my Nokia 5800 (compared to my previous phone, a Nokia 6300), but I'm rather disappointed with the home screen options. The Contacts Bar theme is a great idea, but why only FOUR contacts? Why not let me fill up the entire screen or let it scroll side to side with a quick dwipe left or right?
Or if using the Shortcut Bar theme, why not allow a contact bar to be one item it shows among the rows of information (again, swipe left/right to scroll for more than four)?
Are there any other themes available from Nokia or third parties which provide a more powerful home screen?

I have a file that you install after installation of Handy Shell that then makes all the icons default instead of a row of handy shell icons and a row of Nokia icons, i'll up a screen shot for you.
If anyone interested in the file let me know, be aware though that you do NEED Handy Shell first.

Best Settings for Video Playback on Nokia 5800 Xpress Music
Nokia 5800 as the multimedia phones makes you able to enjoy watching the video and music with it. The question is, how’s to do to convert that videos and what are the best setting used for. I have convert many videos into my phone, I found that most video files can play with this phone such as mp4, 3gp, rmvb and flv files. But of them plays well but some are not. After many tries, I finally got the best results for Nokia video files. My video in 5800 was full screen, high quality and sounds very well. Here are my settings:
Video Resolution: 480*320
Video Bitrate: 768 kbps
Audio Bitrate: 128 kbps
Video Format: MPEG-4 (be sure not to use H264, as it’s not supported in the current firmware)
Audio Format: MP3
Audio Channels: 2 Channels
You can apply these settings above in whatever application you used when converting videos into 5800. Then I am sure you will get full screen, high quality and flawless video in your phone.
Settings for video playback on Nokia N97, N95, N85 and other Nokia phones.
Nokia N97: Video playback formats are 3GP formats, Flash Video, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4; the video resolution is 360*640. Audio formats are AAC, M4A, MP3, WAV, WMA etc.

OK, I will not list all settings of Nokia phones. If you are interested you may get more relative information on Nokia official website.
How to transfer video files into Nokia 5800
I have download some videos from video website such as Youtube, Google video. But I can’t watch these videos in my phone. As these videos were flv files, Nokia 5800 can’t play such videos. I use Internet Tablet Video Converter to convert it, but it shows “Unsupported Video File Type”. Then I got to know some best video converter that seems professional for Nokia phone, I free download its trial version and tried it, and it works very well. Below are what I do:
Click Add button to add video files from your computer, set your videos according to the above settings and select Nokia 5800 Video MPEG-4 format for your video. Then just click convert button to start the conversion. After the conversion complete, you may watch these videos with Nokia 5800.
Also you may get music from video in this way. But pay attention to the format. As Nokia 5800 support mp3 audio format, you should select “MP3 – MPEG Layer-3 Audio (*.mp3)”.
How to convert DVD files into Nokia 5800
Obviously phones don’t have DVD drives, so to watch DVD on a phone you have to convert it into a video file on your PC then drag it into your phone. I also follow the above settings and convert DVD files into MPEG-4 video with Daniusoft DVD Ripper. the results are excellent.
After insert your DVD into the DVD Drive click the Open DVD button to upload DVD files on to this program. Click Settings button to set your videos according to the above settings I listed. Click Profile drop list to select “Nokia 5800 Video MPEG-4 (*.mp4)” format for your Nokia video. Then click Convert button to start the conversion. In few minutes the whole process will completed.
If you select audio format “MP3 – MPEG Layer-3 Audio (*.mp3)” you may also get music from DVD.
To transfer files into Nokia 5800
In the above tutorial I have explain you how to convert Nokia videos from DVD and other video files. Then you need to transfer these videos into your phone.
1. Make sure your computer and phone are both switched on. Also make sure your 5800 have a memory card in its slot.
2. Plug the small end of the microUSB cable into the phone’s USB socket, which s under a plastic flap in the top left corner.
3. Plug the larger end of the microUSB cable into a USB port on your computer.
4. On your 5800 it should ask which mode you wish to use. Choose “Mass Storage”.
5. Open the memory card window (probably called “Removable Disk E:”), drag your video files into the video folder.
6. After finished transfer files, do not disconnect the cable yet. You should make it safe to disconnect the cable. You may do this by click a small icon in the bottom right corner of the screen that appears when the phone is connected.
7. After you have made the device safe to remove, you can unplug the cable at both ends.
Some useful tips to make the Nokia 5800's battery last as long as possible
Sometimes you may have to stop talking with your friend or watching videos with your phone as low power of your battery. It is more inconvenient if you are in travel and have no alternative battery. Here are some tips to make your phone battery last as long as possible when using telephone.
Do not switch the phone off. As switching a phone on uses far more battery power than simply leaving the phone on.
Shut down unnecessary applications.
Turn down the 5800’s screen brightness to the lowest acceptable level.
Switch off your 5800’s screen when not in use.
Use headphones instead of speakers when listening to music or watching movies.
Avoid using the camera flash unnecessarily.
Use 2G instead of 3G.
Switch off Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi.'

Nokia 5800 Questions.

I posted this in the nokia 5800 problems topic but it actually wasn't a problem and also it got ignored. So I decided to post it in a new topic.
I just bought this phone 4 days ago and I am in total love with it Now the pros of this phone are too much to list but there are a few cons which slight bugged me.I have version11.0.008 from the begining and have not faced a single problem - no lag , no peculiar behaviour Now I have a few queries that I was hoping to get answered on.
1. Is it possible to add more stuff below the Search word in the Shortcut bar theme. Maybe a Calendar memo reminder or anything. I already know of the music now playing bar that comes there during tracks but other than that are there nothing else to be done?
2. Is there any way to use the 2nd camera?
3. In the silent mode , for some odd reason I might have missed a call ( i.e did not feel the vibration ) Now is there a option to turn on so that the phone will emit little vibrations after a period of time to remind me or notify me of a miss call? I have this on my razrv3i so missing it now The menu button just flickrs on off to notify of the missed call but is there no way to know I have a miss call without taking out the phone from the case and looking at it?
4. I heard theres a new update to v11.0.009 - But my NSU doesn't show it . I was wondering is it that necessary to update to this firmwire at this moment? I live in Bangladesh.
Thats about it The 5800 is a exta ordinary phone and I have not regretted my purchase yet and have no hope of doing so. It costed me around 272.74 Euros. The price to quality ratio is mind bogling

1. The Calender memo will show by itself if you have any entry made in the Calender.. It will come up as "Next Entry on ..." a few days in advance and the Actual details a day before...
2. Open Camera application.. Goto Options -- > Use secondary camera..
3. There are 3rd party applications like T-Reminder for this.. It has options of Sound/Light/Vibration reminders for missed calls / SMSs / other events at user defined interval...
4. Firmware versions are different for different regions.. Connect the phone thru' OVI Suit to a computer and check for the latest available for your phone.It says that version upgrade is for good but there are newer complains associated with them. So its up to you whether to take that risk or not.. If you are satisfied with the current version so be it..

Problem with NOKIA 5800 Music Express

Hi all,
My NOKIA 5800 hasnt been working properly for some time. I can not make a call using my phone book (only if i dial the number i can call) though incoming call can be received. Apart from that, when i try to navigate tomy memory card, i cant anything rather than some less important files though i can find those floders when using via pc! Lots of other problems.
From this discussion (/t5/Phone-Applications/Antivirus-for-5800/m-p/426338) i find out that its not necessary to use antivirus if properly used. But the thing is, i let my mom and sister use this phone for like 6 months, there was internet connection. So, i am not sure whether they did something wrong which led to these problems. Before that everything was fine.
Help me guys! I am freaking out!
Thanks all!
CHeers!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

i agree with farby.. Do a soft/hard reset.. *#7370# code is 12345..
Note: virus cant infect ur device memory.. But it can infect ur memory card nd corrupt it.. So scan ur memory card wd antivirus on computer... If no virus is found and ur card is unreadable, format ur memory card.. Before formattin backup data as much possible..
Hope this helps.

Nokia 5800 Social Network and Internet/Email conce...

Having owned the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic for a couple of months or so, I must say that I really like the phone and it has great functionality.
My main concerns/issues however are outlined below:
1. Facebook for Nokia app is slow, does not show all of the functions that m.facebook.com shows and isn't a homescreen widget (e.g. push notifications)
2. Communities app is even slower and again does not have the functionality of m.facebook.com and doesn't show notifications at all!
3. The Nokia Messaging app insists on connecting to 3G all the time, rather than a wifi connection when available. I've also experienced intermittent issues when trying to connect (sometimes it stays offline and even selecting 'Go online' doesn't wake the program up).
4. Default web browser keeps crashing and doesn't support larger websites (I experience intermittent crashes as well as memory issues). I do not receive such issues in Opera Mobile. I also dislike the defaulting to full screen mode all the time. If you turn full screen off, as soon as you navigate to a different page it goes back to full screen again, therefore increasing the activity on the phone and it takes longer to load the page before you can scroll or click another link.
I think I've covered all of my main concerns but in essence this device really needs better app support and social networking integration.
I would be grateful if I could be given an update on if/when we can expect to receive such support.
If anyone else agrees, please indicate below along with any additional feature requests relating to this topic.
Thank you for your time in reading this post.

bump
Same issues here, facebook is almost unuably slow (it's quicker to boot up the laptop!)
Messeging will not use wifi and i have a limited data plan so can't use it for attachments.
Web browser randomly exits for no reaseon and the lack of width adjustment is infuriating
Now ovi store's won't let me download!

Want to know how the GPS works on nokia 5800?

Hi, are there any documentation explaining the working principle of how gps on nokia 5800 actually works? I want a kind of in-depth understanding...Thanx in advance.

Network based positioning is the fastest, but most inaccurate. Basically, it looks at what cell tower you're connected to, and approximates your location to be the location of that tower. The phone will use this FIRST (if you have enabled it), because it gives you an approximiate position while you wait for GPS to work.
Integrated GPS is the actual GPS receiver built into your phone. It receives signals from the network of GPS satellites and calculates your position. Due to the inherent design of the civilian GPS system, it takes time for the receiver to see enough satellites to figure out where you are. Because sometimes this time can be 5 minutes or more, the cell companies developed Assisted GPS.
Assisted GPS (AGPS) is just regular GPS, helped out by a server on the internet. Your phone will take partial GPS data (not enough to get a fix on its own), and send that data to a server (in our case supl.nokia.com). The server knows a LOT more about the exact locations of GPS satellites at any given time, so based on partial information it can compute a very good approximation of your location. This happens very quickly because a server has a much more powerful processor, and many more resources, than your phone (to put it simply). The amount of data actually sent is very very small (less than 1KB every time). AGPS helps out in getting a position fix quickly when the gps receiver hasn't been used for a while, or when you are in an area without great GPS reception.
So the order of methods used by the phone in your case is as follows. First it will give you an "approximate" position using Network Based Positioning. This will happen almost instantly. Then the phone will immediately get to work trying to get a GPS fix, and will use the AGPS server if you have allowed it to. Note that you must have an internet plan with your cell provider for AGPS to work, since it sends data to supl.nokia.com which is on the internet.

First please don't call me sir.
Second, i believe they have done something really bad with your Phone, If you are sure that the IMEI number doesn't match with the one on retail box.
Now all you can do is a soft reset or hard reset. it may solve your problem, and return the phone to its original condition.
Soft Reset: Dial this number *#7370# enter your lock code, default is 12345.
(BACKUP YOUR DATA if you have any)
And remember next time after a failed firmware update, there are chances that you can recover your phone yourself, Here is a guide written by our friend psychomania: /t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/Recovering-from-a-failed-firmware-update/td-p/398147
Good Luck.

i also noticed some problem on this new firmware version V40.0.005.
Problem:
1) It having difficulty to power up the phone... once it powering up, it will auto shut it down itself. I gotta retries many times only able to power up my phone. For old firmware, I didnt see this kind of problem
2) when the phone is fully charging, the LCD backlight UNABLE to turn OFF itself. I tried to charging my phone overnight, and when i wake up the next day morning, I can see the LCD backlight still turning ON.. this is something wrong here. For old firmware, I didnt encounter this problem before.
Nokia, please fix this bugs...
thanks!
WE ARE DOOMED! Looks like Nokia does not think the problem we faced is a firmware bug!
I have email their customer support on this issue and this is the reply I got from them:

Dear Mr. Wang,
Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline.
In response to your inquiry, you can first reboot the phone by turning it off and removing the battery. Wait for around 5 minutes before returning the battery and turning it on. Another option will be to restore the settings by going to Menu > Settings and Phone > Phone mgmt. > Factory settings > Lock Code (default is 12345).
Alternatively, we suggest for you to make a backup of all important information.
Kindly refer at the link below for an online guide:

Once done, you can format the phone.To format the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, kindly dial the command *#7370# in idle mode > Lock Code (default is 12345).
You may like to visit our website at www.nokia.com.my for more information and support for your Nokia device. If you have further enquiries, please write to us again or contact Nokia Careline at 1300 881600. We operate between the hours of 8.00am and 8.00pm, seven days a week.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW???!

GPS LD-3W and nokia 5800 charger

hi , i have a nokia 5800 and a wireless gps module ( LD-3W) .
in bundle for Gps i received a DC-4 car charger but i need also charge GPS module at home .
May i use the nokia 5800 charger for this ?
i remember that :
5800 charger is 5v/890mA .. and GPS charger is 5,7v/890 mA
thanks

Someone asked so;
My 5530 charger works fine charging the LD-3W; its because nokia only every 1 of 2 chargers the large tip or the small tip.
Yes the LD-3W works really well and except for the LD-3W having some extra battery life I heard that the 3w and 4w are really quite similar.
I am not too sure on the specs of them for accuracy and positioning but when i use mine it updates quite quickly (with only little jumps while in my car) and it gets the right position all the time.
I believe the LD-4W should work fine with the 5530 also.
And if you do not have nokia/ovi maps then you should get it. Its free and it has full navigation now.
Ovi Maps
++If you have a 5530 you have to download the 5800 maps application from here;
http://maps.nokia.com/ovi-services-and-apps/ovi-maps/downloads#/nokia-5800-xpressmusic/
Its up to you but I just choose download from pc which is at the bottom as it wont cost you data charges etc for using you mobile.
++Next install the app on your phone
++Now thats it just install ovi suite from here;
http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/nokia-ovi-suite
and choose what maps you want to download and by choosing update you can check your app is up to date.
Most of this info above plays to the 5800 aswell
