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

Thanks.

Should I have uninstalled whatever version of OVI Maps app that was on the phone, prior to downloading the latest update, or does it make any difference?
 
v51.2.007 for 0577454 has been out for a couple of months now. I don't have my Nokia 5800 as I sold it back at the beginning of August but I do know for sure that v51 was out even back then for product code 0577554.
 
Just want t tell you guys that i'm getting incredible reception with this phone. I'm getting 55dbm all over in places where my e71 read 95dbm for the last 6 months every single day. I just now installed the app to read the network, so its possible the network changed, but i seriously doubt it. Maybe this firmware is different. I'm gonna power up my e71 right now and check the difference.
 
my 5800 battery specs listed as 1350mAh (or maybe it was 1320), but the actual battery i got was only 1260mah once you load up energy profiler. on the other hand, my n97 mini spec lists it as 1200mah, but energy profiler shows it actually at 1250mah.

so imagine that, both phones have IDENTICAL battery size in them, yet they are not listed that way.
 
I gotta remember NOT to hit the damn menu button to wake this phone up from standby.

I keep forgetting all you need to do is touch the screen.

Today I set up 1-touch dialing...but it's so stupid. The whole point of 1 - touch dialing is that you need to touch the phone ONCE ONLY. On a touch-screen device it's m00t. You have to wake the phone up., THEN touch dialer, THEN press and hold the digit you're dialing LOLz...Oi vey...
 
Can anybody store longer than 20 digit numbers on SIM? This partially worked for me (some SIMs yes, some no) with v31, but after I upgraded to v51, I can store at most 20 digits. Funny, that if the number is already more than 20 digits, I can edit it, even extend it and it saves OK. But I cannot create new long number contacts.

I can store long numbers in phone memory, but I need to store them on SIM since Nokia decided to remove support for customer defined voice tags and having all contacts in phone memory leads to too many voice dialing errors.

advertises a feature of storing more than 20 digit numbers, but this program is very old and expensive.

And now rant... Why does Nokia impose all these ridiculous restrictions? No option for scrollbars, removing letters from the dialer, deliberate protection from firmware downgrades using encryption, removing voice tags recordings, removing SIP/VOIP, not allowing to sign for free programs that have some advanced functionality (for example community-developed SIP dialer). And now this 20 digit SIM number restriction. Not everyone agrees with their vision and adding all this as OPTIONS will cost them nothing. Are they listening? Why are they doing this?

EDIT1: Changed my product code to 0581748 (Israel Black, RM-428). NSU updated from v31 to 50.2.005. And while Navifirm shows it as the latest firmware, I was able to upgrade OTA to v51.2.007.
EDIT2: RDS stopped working after the upgrade.
 
I've got a stupid question. I've had this phone for two days. One issue is that when I hold down a key on the on-screen numeric keypad to do a speed dial, it says invalid phone number

Edit: Nevermind...apparently the parenthesis and dashes in phone numbers are not liked by the 1-touch-dialing feature
 
The backup and restore is a little iffy. It will restore most of your stuff. For some reason I never seem to get my notes back after a restore (which is pretty annoying), but my contacts and phone settings seem to restore fine.
