Official Nokia 5800 XpressMusic discussion thread

Truely...this v50 rocks this time..I like the music player a lot specially when I downloaded hq mp3 that are already tagged with art...looks so awesome with the album art in music player...plus the ks in menu and I think the phone is bit faster and stable in touch response as compared to v40...Nokia doesn't support few product codes -0575590 (my 5800xm ) and the funnier part..i changed the product code wrongly to Chinese and when the phone booted..i saw some weird language..lol then again changed the product code and voila...back to apac India ..just loving the phone now more and more

@thanks k4ce

welcome

I visited your blog mentioned, it's very informative. I was trying to update through my PC, the size was 138.5mb it's to bulky! Surprisingly when I finished downloading such a bulk updated file, in spite of installation to the Phone, the system starts downloading again!! I was very surprised and I aborted everything. I don't know how this happened!! Please tell me did my XM v 40.0.005 has supported Quick Office lower than you? If so, where can I find it and is it free of cost or not?

Hi, Need help.
Within two months of buying and using Nokia 5800, the stylus doesnt fit in any more.
It has become loose. i went ahead and removed the back panel, to my disbelief I checked that the Stylus holder had broken off.
Now when i call nokia support, they say that its not covered under warranty.I was using it for the function it was designed to do, and what good it is when the holder cant hold stylus for two months, irrespective of how often you use it.
This is not due to manual physical damage but the flimsy holder which inst of the top quality.




Please help. Is there any help in visiting the care centre. What should I do. SOS.

Any cell-phone company doesn't cover the plastic parts of the phone in the warranty...
You should think of some other alternatives....

I dont think so that the phone became slower...actually its better and faster then before...I hard reset the phone after installing the firmware and its performing well.

Cant differ the camera quality as never used it before

XM support quick office v6.+++ ...and with APAC India firmware the quick office v4.2 doesn't come pre-installed..its for selected firmwares available in few countries....so you need to purchase it...else you can google for cracked quick office which cant be discussed @digit forum.

You can try updating the firmware again or rather install the latest NSU and then try to update the firmware...I tried updating three firmwares-china apac and europe but Apac india is the best one. There is no need to get the quick office for default as its not worth it.

The plastic material doesn't cover under warranty..but you can get loads of back panel for 5800 in different colors...my back cover stylus holder became loose in 15-20 days..coz i use stylus a lot while emailing browsing etc

I have a huge collection of back panels with stylish tattoos...you can get it for as low as 50-100rs.

You can also buy Black Case Commuter Otterbox for the safety :

yeah.. nice surprise nokia. Just upped the ante ..again.. installed the v50 . Btw beware guys .. the ota upgrade via SW update although shows the size to be around 9.8 mb .. but it took me a whole 15 or 20 minutes over my wifi connection to get it.. not like it matters much but i think either the upgrade servers were very slow or else and most likely the upgrade is a full size 140 mb upgrade even ota. so those with dial ups .. and mobile internet users might want to use some other alternate connections. also no quickoffice for me.. either. . loving the new music player. not so much so for the new browser. here,s the stunner though.. the new web browser has also implemented kinetic scrolling. works well on small sites . goes nuts on full ver. websites. also hate the fact that it goes fullscreen every now and then. overall my phone is probably slower.. hoping a hard reset will resolve this.

Thanks Sid and Neeraj, Much appreciated for quick reply.
have to tell you that its ridiculous, that they have such a flimsy design for it.
Neeraj, where did you buy the back panel from? please provide me with the link or shop where I can buy it from.

I upgraded the firmware to v50, over the air But i didnt get quick office, any more application.
The update was only 12 Mb, should I try now through OVI suite?

I buy it from gaffar market Delhi...You can ask for your local mobile store for the panels rather than purchasing online coz you can check the quality..probably you can find some cases @ebay

Quick office and Rihana launcher is available in selected product codes only..so there is no need to update through NSU

yaah same problem with me too..previously it used to give 2-3 days now discharges in a day

 

[aytus]

Oh.. is that so.? i thought it was maybe due to some problem that might have cropped during this installation /
btw there was a procedure to resync the battery . something that involved fully charging and hard resetting or something which i forgot. so i thought maybe i,d give it a try and c if it helps.

 

[sujoyp]

Please try it if u know it helps...

 

[neerajvohra]

I don't know the procedure to resync the battery, but here are few tips that can save your battery :

1. Always turn off wireless scanning, Blue tooth when not in use

2. For those not using 3G, choose your network mode to “GSM” instead of “Dual mode” which will consume more battery. Settings -> Connectivity -> Network mode -> GSM

3. Less Display Light
a. Setting -> Phone -> Display -> light sensor (move the slider to the left)
b. Setting -> Phone -> Display -> Light Time-Out (lesser time to save battery but annoying if too short while you are playing games)

4. Always terminate the application properly that is not using by using Option ->Exit.

It might be running background and consuming battery which you don’t know like nokia email etc. (Use Handy Taskman to close all application regularly or kill application that is not in use)
