Nokia 5800 XM NAM(850/1900): Reviews, Issues, Tips, Tricks & Support Thread!!

I think the bunk speakers only applied to the Euro models, im not saying however that blown speakers are impossible with the NAM. The widespread issue however only applied to the Euro models.
 
it is, but it's a lot better than looking at your phone to see the buttons to type. at least with hand writing, i already know how to do that without looking
 
Okay I got the Ovi Store app to work. I uninstalled the Ovi Store Launcher file. This looked like it removed all the Ovi files on my phone. I then ran the Ovi app again and it prompted me to update. I got version 1.05 (611) now and can connect.

See if you have the Ovi Store file in the installed files. I did not see this listed prior to updating.
 
Does youtube still work in the browser for you guys? It was working fine for me yesterday. I updated my Flash to 3.1, then tested it out by watching a few vids on youtube in the browser and it worked perfectly. Today I tried to watch a few videos, and it doesn't work, just gives me that little broken flash picture. I tried to watch the same exact videos as yesterday too and nothing works. Restarted phone, cleared all my cache/private data and still no dice. Any ideas? I haven't installed anything or changed anything since yesterday...

Edit: This was using the full desktop site btw, the mobile site with the flash beta player works embedded.
 
The 5800 does not have kinetic scrolling. But the n97 does have kinetic scrolling in the browser. And it has resistive screen. That doesn't matter. In fact if you use gravity on the 5800 is has kinetic scrolling and it works just beautifully:)

Also the new touch phone coming out has kinetic scrolling in the contacts app and thru the main menus. So nokia definitely has this in the works, which will make the phone much more similar to the iphone. It just depends if nokia is going to give this to us or not. I'm begging them to give it to the 5800!
 
Guys....If you didnt catch this one..check it out

I loaded it up on my 5800 and it is awesome. Im still jealous of not having a n97 type homescreen and still using v31..but this is pretty cool. Big thanks again to Ricky Cadden for sharing with all of us. I wonder how it works with v40 and the kinetic scrolling......I tried the handy shell trial..didnt like it. I hope they support in the future..the customization could improve..but its a great start ... :2thumbs:
 
ok help me understand why they would put out an update for the nav edition and not the other nams. i may have to try changing my product code after all
 
I copied the contacts from my other phone to the SIM, and then copied from the SIM to the 5800. Now the contacts on the phone all have the number 1 or 2 or 3 appended to the end of the names separated by a forward slash. For example, Joe Smith/2, or Jane Doe/1, John William/3. What gives? :befuddled Did I do something incorrectly procedurally? Some of the contacts also have the same number listed twice.

Also, is there a way to set larger fonts as a default on webpages, or do you have to zoom in every time you browse to a new page? :doh:

Lastly, any solution to make the text on a webpage all fit within the page horizontally?
 
I think it's the imap setting in profimail that's causing the battery to drain very fast. I have set that to manual and check email every hour. My battery is holding up pretty well now with full bars til end of the day.
 
It took a week before i got decent battery life. Before that it was honestly horribly short until the battery got broken in. But yes this isn't as good as e71 for battery. But its not too bad honestly.
 
I have to agree, im using it for a day and to be honest its more of a hassle to use then agian im not a big touch screen guy, they are always 2 handed devices even though u can get away with one hand, i just prefer keys i think.
 
I use Nokia Messaging the battery life is pretty bad if I have the option Send and Receive option as "Soonest" on, it won't last a day.
I have to set it to Every hour but that beat the purpose to get the push.
 
let's you customize almost everything, what apps you want in, what apps you don't want. boost UI and overall phone performance. it's a significant increase. for those of you that upgraded to v50 and felt how much faster it was from v40. well my v40 cfw is still better than v50 lol

it made my browser so fast that, i didn't really need to use opera mini anymore, of course i still used it because i'm used to browsing with multiple tabs and the scrolling was better.

let's you hack your phone, which i don't have a problem signing apps with, but it just makes it easier.

opens up a whole new world, i can actually have a phone that i can keep for longer than a year now because i can always tweak my phone if i need to rather than wait around for nokia. it should hold me over until s^4 comes out.
 
Maybe that is my issue i dont have nails so to speak the go above my skin line lol, you are damned if you do or damned if you dont, you need to hit the iphone with your fingertips because it wont respond to nails and the 5800 responds better to nails, now you know why i want hard keys lol. :buddies:
