Nokia 5800: Early Bird Problems

wee… if all the nokia 5800 sold encountered so much prob why are the company still selling it? they should fix it 1st coz it will harm their reputation. akala ko best PHONE MANUFACTURER ang NOKIA pero merun din pala silang DOWN SIDE..

@wha@
maybe it’s just some bugs.. it’s normal for other manufacturers.

hmmmmm, maybe manufacturers should not rush the launch if the first gen products are buggy :)

@Rey J-sometimes kasi you need the features of the latest phones. Like the camera of my phone, I used it instead of buying a new digicam.

@topic Those are bugs. A software update can fix it. Pero sobrang dami yata ng bugs ng 5800. =P

nokia 5800 is the first unit (guinea pig?) to use the symbian 9.4 OS. Expect a lot of bugs from this unit.

if you want to know more pinoy 5800 users who had the same experience with the buggy 5800, then feel free to visit the 5800 “appreciation” thread at tpc. they also voice out their issues with this fone.

hope and pray that firmware updates will fix these problems.

New firmware update? Expect it on the next 3-5 months from the latest update which is V11.0.008 as Sir Yuga has mentioned on his post.

yikes what happened to their QA.

Iba rin kasi feeling pag naka 5800 ka at habang ginagamit mo sya. Totoong dami pa nyang bugs pero cool din kasi available yung firmware update thru NSU (Nokia Software Updater), so di pa huli ang lahat. Nakaka disappoint lang talaga ang after sales ng Nokia dito satin, sad to say na lagi silang “iwas pusoy”. Kaya ikaw na mismo sosolve ng sarili mong problema kasi mahirap umasa sakanila. Kaya sa mga meron 5800 at nagbabalak magkaron,join our forum in TipidCP.com. Dami nyong matutunan.

mine was bought last friday at NOKIA Megamall.

the only problem i noticed was when using the A/V cable output to TV. I’m getting a Black and White display. Have tried with two TV sets, still the same.

I’m not yet sure if this is a hardware or settings problem. Just wanna share you guys this fault I’m having.

Hays.. I hate NOKIA CARE service… believe me.

good day!

this is follow up on the issue i posted yesterday.

it was just a video system setting. hehehe. by default, it was set to PAL. so i just changed it to NTSC. it works OK now.

so far, no major issue YET on my phone. :)

just some bugs which i saw before on my N81, and were later fixed on firmware releases.

:)

nka order n ko eh…badtrip!…sana n lng eh ok at di ako bigyan ng problema…

workingdude…

i have an omnia at hand… based on experience, screen visibility under sunlight is really poor, at least in my case i suppose… maybe the screen protector i had on mine contributed to this…

but that’s not what concerns me the most regarding my omnia… the phone is surely great/cool and all but there are some glitches (i’m hoping with my fingers crossed) that i just can’t keep on noting… i’m more concerned with it getting really hot while on-sync with my laptop. it also gets really warm even on a 6-minute phonecall… some users even claim that theirs also get really hot when using wi-fi and gps… and more, it also has its fare share of bugs affecting it’s performance…

An officemate got her 5800 at BHS on the 1st day of its release and she’s very happy with her phone … she hasn’t encountered a single problem. =)

bumili rinako ng 5800, then napansin ko pag tumatawag ako biglang nagba blak out yung screen. sabi nila dahil daw sa sensor pero halos hndi na bumabalik sa normal. parating blak out pag tumatawag ka.

Don’t buy the Nokia 5800. There are WAAAAAY too many problems with it. I personally have a problem with the sound going in and out during a phone call. Other problems involve the menus disappearing once i set the home screen. sometimes a full factory recall fixes this problem, other times, it doesn’t.

If you cherish your money and a working phone, don’t buy this until Nokia wakes up and fixes their software problems.

OwwYeaahh!!! My Nokia 5800 XM na rin ako… Iloveit!!

aw..bakit ganun ang sa inyo… sa akin wala pa naman ako nakikita problema sa Nokia5800XM ko..about sa earpeace owkie naman din…load and clear xa… sa quality ng camera lang ako hindi satisfied…mas owkie pa ang camera ng N70… haist…panu kaya 2… magging owkie din kaya to pag nagSoftware update na..??? pero over all the best ang Nokia5800MX

Yeaaaah! Ive read all your posts 2 days ago..and honestly, ive been having the same problem for the 2 weeks that i owned this phone. But last night, I updated mine to v20 and it’s great! Nawala na yung usual bugs (like hanging-up after exiting an application). The version 20 comes with the following changes:

-Faster operation, speed improvements for Java apps as well.
-Geo-Tagging support for both camera and the video recorder.
-Gallery loads much faster. (much2 faster)
-Improvements to the camera. (way better! you can use the front cam now)
-New music and download icons
-Better touch sensitivity. (no need for the stylus)
-Flash applications now have a D-pad, like the java ones. (havnt tried this one yet)
-Improvements to Mass Storage profile stability.
-new application have been added.
-“app.update” (in the application menu),
-“Dictionary” and Search (for files and media in storage and web).
-Better bass reproduction.
-Ability to edit the Artist, Album, Genre etc in the Music Player.
-Zoom, Full Screen and Pan options for Flash video.
-Much faster screen rotation.
-Voice recorded files now show up in the Sounds folder in the Gallery.

Now, to all of you guys out there. There is still hope for the v20 to be installed in all of your TUBES. Eto na ang solusyon jan! Ang JAF application (i think i posted this 1 before?). can be downloaded sa yahoo (search JAF application) or email me @ patrickvilla****@****.*** para send ko sa inyo yung JAF. JAF is an application used by tecnicians to open up dead phones, but unlike NSS or phoenix mas Ok toh..d kc mka detect yung NSS and prang delikado yung phoenix (with the flashing and stuff @-@). JAF is completely harmless, pwede nga magtx habang ginagawa nyo toh ehh..Now basically, what we clever pinoys need to do is to change the product code (yung number sa sticker under your batterry, usually starts with 05). The built-in product code natin d2 sa pinas is whats preventing us from getting this update. You have to change it to a product code similar to the EURO codes (I used EURO1 blue for france). Kasi available lng yung update na yun in european countries. After changing it, you should use Nokia software updater instead of the over-the-air update ng nokia (lang kwenta yan). the update file is abput 126 mb, kaya mejo matagal yun antayin mo..but its all worth it! bibilis yung 5800 moh (wee!), gaganda yung cam and the likes listed above. But! d pa tayo tapos..kelangan mong ibalik yung product code na orig pra d ma void yung warranty using JAF once again..

Oh di bah? Ang dali2x? if you want to learn more email me at patrickvilla****@****.***. Gusto ko lng share yung Nokia Experience ko with every1..Wee!=D

better yet text me at 090521***** if you need help updating using the JAF application..=D

just got mine before holy week, it was working fine and all until my songs suddenly wouldnt play. i reformatted the memcard then placed all my songs back. theyplayed for a few days then after while playing my songs, it skiped some and i noticed when i refreshed my library that i was missing 110 songs but my memory card’d free space didnt change. please help. its really starting to piss me off.

@raffyboi,. Its not the memory card that got problem, but the phone itself. So don’t reformat your memory card. Instead, reformat your phone. Remove your memory card if you will reformat your phone. Be patient, its just a material thing. Good luck. Enjoy after.

@mhikan, the visible gap between volume control is common to all nokia 5800 units, so nevermind it, its not even a problem. With regards to your phone status, at first, you should have not bring it for repair, you should have tried to reformat your phone. Coz many things got solved by reformat. Who knows it can be solved. But its too late, you already submit it to repair, which for me, should be a second choice to reformat, so you already did it, just patiently wait, just monitor your unit time to time. Good luck.

@raffyboi, ur welcome, thats okay, il help u so that you can experience the best for your phone. If you will reformat your phone, just do the hard reformat in which your phone will go back from the start. But sadly you will not be able to view and hear the pre-installed videos and mp3s. But wait, before you do the reformat, just copy your pre-installed videos and songs or all your videos and songs saved in your phone to your pc so that after you reformat you can copy it back again to your phone. Then do the back up, or back-up your phone to your pc, so that your files and settings will be saved. Then reformat now your phone, turn off your phone first, then the reformat is this, just long press the call key(green key), call end key (red key), the camera key on the side and the power switch. Long press the three keys simultaneously while switching the power on, or shall i say long press the four keys, then wait until power will start up. Then its done. Your phone will like new again and like fresh from the factory. Hehe. Good luck. Enjoy.
