It's perfectly safe and will not harm the phone.
Nokia even make a bike charger themselves so you can be sure that charging your phone like that will not damage it.

Some questions on the 5800 GPS
Hi folks
i am debating at the moment whether to upgrade from my N95 to a N95 8GB or the lovely 5800, i prefer the symbian OS so im glad to stay with these two phones. now i had tomtom 6 working fine on my N95 and i know it will work ok on the N95 8GB but the verdict i find on the interwebs is a bit hit and miss as to whether it will work on the 5800. however i am more interested in the Nokia Maps
now as i understand this program is included and you can use the A-GPS built in GPS but can you use an external source? i have a BT GPS antenna and would be happy to use this to avoid paying A-GPS charges is this feature still ok with nokia maps? also is it possible to just run the nokia maps through the built in GPS and not using the A-GPS.
i also just want to clarify something about the maps too, as i understand it comes with the function built in to navigate you point to point but doesnt include voice instruction. you pay extra for that functionaility?
thanks very much folks id love to give the 5800 a twirl as much as i love the N95 i love to try new stuff
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thanks! I'm planning to head to the shops tomorrow to get 5800 XM.
I never actually tried seeing if there was a visual turn by turn navigation on my friends' phones before because I thought there wasn't one. Hmm. Do you mean the "tracking" option? The very early version of Nokia Maps on N95 had that tracking option (Maps 1.x?), but the new ones don't (Maps 2.0).
Paying for navigation is a bit steep for me after I convert the price to my currency. So I totally understand! I might try monthly though for special events.
Thanks for the kudos. Do skim through the rest of this board section. You might find your answer since 5800 XM uses Maps 2.0 which is available in other phones too. I learnt a lot of info from here.

I tried updating my iPod 5th gen to iOS 8 but it only shows me a picture of the iTunes logo and a charger at the bottom, I'm not sure what this means or what I need to do. Can someone please help me?
After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. On my first boot up, the battery charged to 100%. I didn't operate this thing on the battery. The next time I booted this thing up, the battery was charged but the meter read 98%. In the subequent boot ups of this machine, and I still having not used the battery, my battery is fully charged but the meter now reads 96%. IS there some problem with the hardware or the software? Help is appreciated!!
Thanks.hey thank you for the info. Based on what happened, the battery has gone up to 100% just once when I booted this machine for the first time. On subsequent occasions the Battery Charged symbol has appreard at below 100% charging. I have been using my MacBook Pro for the whole day with outlet power and never did the battery go back to 100%. I hope I don't have to calibrate the battery on this model?

My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :( -
Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!
Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ... -
Help... Have ate in living room & bedroom & I could works fine on iPhone4 as well as ipad2 wifi. I have home sharing enabled on all but when I rented a movie it was all good & charged but the download took over 24 hours & only in the bedroom.... Please help
The remote app can either automatically find libraries available on a network (with home sharing available) or if you haven't got home sharing enabled, you can manually pair an itunes library with the remote app (using a number that is generated by the app and then typed into the itunes library).
That is why I am so confused, as it seems to be the home sharing that is the problem! -
I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?
The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%. This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
Regualr occurence for me.
Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month. Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it. Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly. -
Battery charge for the first time
Should the phone be off the first time I charge and how will I know its fully charged?
You will know its fully charged when the lightening flash turns to a plug, or, if you have it displaying % of charge, when it reads 100%.
BTW, Apple says you should charge it for 4 hours before first use. I doubt that anyone has actually done this! -
When I bought my iPhone 6, the phone was great, but now the phone has given me many problems. I’ve gone to the Apple Store 5 times already with the same problem and every time they just give me a new phone. My first problem was that the phone stopped charging. I took it to the Pentagon City Apple Store in Arlington, VA and my phone was given a diagnostic. After the diagnostic, my battery was said to be good and my phone was then replaced. After my phone was replaced, the second phone would drain fast and go from 100% to 20% in about 2 to 3 hours of light to regular usage (web surfing, facebook, spotify, soundcloud) while connected to Wifi and the battery would charge very slowly. After about a week of this, I returned the phone, and told the “Apple Geniuses” at the store about the problem and was given a diagnostic and a new phone.
Every time I go, I am told about closing apps out (which I always do), turning location services off until I need them (which I do), and turning the screen light brightness down (which I turn more than halfway down). The problem of the battery draining fast and the slow charging persisted with the third phone and I eventually took the phone back to a new Apple Store in Towson, MD yesterday. A diagnostic was run on my phone and I was given a new phone and a new charger. My phone worked perfectly like when I originally purchased it. Then later last night it stopped charging just like my first phone did. I took it back today, a diagnostic was run on my phone, and I was given a new phone. Every time I went to a store, I was told by the “Apple Geniuses” that this was the first time that they heard about this problem, which I found hard to believe because I heard at least 30 different people come in with similar problems each time I was in the store. When I left the store today my phone charged for the 1st 30 minutes. However, I took the phone off the charger to make a call and now the phone will not charge again.
After talking to a few people on message boards, I am convinced that the problem is a virus within the IOS software update around the 8.1 through the 8.3 release. I want to know if there is a way to go back to the 8.0.1 software? That way, I don’t keep having the same problems. I have had every iphone since the iPhone 4, and have been pleased with the product thus far, except for my current problems. However, if the problem cannot be taken care of expeditiously I will be forced to go to buy a Droid. This is very time consuming having to spend 1 to 2.5 hours in the store and is costing me money because of gas, 20 to 25 minutes driving there and 20 to 25 minutes driving back home each time and having to pay to park when I go to the one in Arlington, Virginia.adkennon wrote:
And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage. -
I tried entering in a new debit card number into my iTunes account yesterday, from my ipod touch. For some reason it was telling me the information I entered does not match my bank account. I tried 3 or 4 times, but to no avail. I figured I would wait until I was at home & do it from my home computer. About 5 minutes after putting my ipod away, I got a call from my bank saying that there are 4 charges of the exact amount that were charged from iTunes just minutes after each other and they wanted to make sure they were not fraudulant. Well they ARE!!! I did NOT authorize any purchases and now I have 4 charges of $34.78 made to my bank account that I didn't make. ITunes only offers online support...ERRRR!!! My bank told me that it is iTunes responsibility to refund the charges. WHAT DO I DO?????????
Very frustrated...ERICA BI just got back from Afghanistan and discovered two fresh charges for $40.00 from itunes on my Visa account. I havent bought anything from I tunes in over a year. And sure as **** not worth $40.00. The Bank rep told me this has been happening a lot and credited my account for the $80.00 worth of unauthorized charges. Also had to have my card cancelled and get a new one. Apple itunes had better get their **** together and aggressively put a stop to this. Or I will. In court, if it happens again. This is happening in their name. I see this all over the place and haven't seen a single statement from Itunes. I'm terminating my relationship with itunes until I see they have satisfactorally addressed this. No one rips me off.

IPad doesn't charge all the time
Ipad doesn't charge all the time
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?
Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?
If you make a call then tap the Facetime button to connect Facetime, the duration of call up to Facetime connection will be charged under your regular airtime. However, duration during facetime conversation will not consume airtime.
But if you tap the Facetime button on the Contact Page, then the whole duration will not consume airtime.
For Facetime to work, both parties must be connected to wifi. -
My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.
