Introduction Announced at Nokia's Remix event in London, at the beginning of October 2008, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a mid-range, music focused phone, running S60 5th Edition on Symbian OS 9.4, with a 3.2 megapixel camera, integrated GPS, WiFi and HSDPA connectivity, and a 3.2 inch touch screen. It's the last item on this feature list which draws attention to what would otherwise be a fairly standard mid range phone. There's no doubt that it is going to garner attention, coming in the wake of the recent spate of touch phones, including, of course, the Apple iPhone. While it's not Nokia's first touch phone (Nokia 7700/7110) or its first recent touch device (Nokia N810), it is the first S60 touch enabled phone and is a significant landmark in Nokia's mobile device story. However, it is worth noting from the start that it is not "Nokia's touch phone", instead it is the first in a portfolio of touch enabled phones from Nokia. From firmware V20.0.012 onwards, the 5800's CPU clock was increased from 369MHz to 434MHz matching the N97 specification. However, improved overall performance can be observed at firmware V30.
On August 2009, Nokia announced a new variant named Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition. In addition to the normal Nokia 5800 it has the latest version of Ovi Maps pre-installed, loaded with a lifetime license of drive and walk navigation (which otherwise requires subscription on the non-Navigation Edition 5800). It also comes with a car charger and car kit inside the box.

This is an important distinction because, while the 5800 can tell us much about Nokia's touch platform generally, it can only be fairly assessed in the context of its own market positioning (music focused, cost of 279 Euro before taxes and subsidies).

General Information The Nokia 5800XM is a smartphone and portable entertainment device by Nokia. Code-named "Tube," it is the first touchscreen equipped S60 device by Nokia. It's part of the XpressMusic series of phones, which emphasises music and multimedia playback. The touchscreen features tactile feedback (though it doesn't utilise Nokia's upcoming Haptikos technology.). The 5800 has a compatibility mode for Java applications that are not touchscreen-aware. It works by using part of the screen for displaying the essential buttons required by the program.

Nokia 5800XM Product Code Check

Nokia 5800XM Product Elaboration & Guides
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
What Is the product code on my Nokia 5800? Aren’t they all RM-356 devices?
RM-356 is indeed the phone type for the Nokia 5800 XM. However the reason for different product codes is to enable a way for the phones, networks, update tools and other interested parties to know which network / country / version of the Nokia 5800 XM you have. Each network has it’s own product code. Each colour variant has it’s own product code. Each language pack has it’s own product code. There are many of them.
So why do I want to change the product code on my Nokia 5800 XM? When Nokia release a new firmware, they tend to release it for the generic, vanilla, unbranded handsets only. Network / operator branded handsets don’t see the same firmwares released at the same time, as the firmwares have to go to the networks and be branded / altered, then tested, then released. This means that network branded versions of firmwares generally aren’t available for at least 2 months after the generic ones are released.
How can I find out the product code of my Nokia 5800 XM? The product code for your Nokia 5800 XM is written on the phone’s ID sticker, which lives under the battery. The code is a 7 digit number and usually starts with a 0.
So I can use any product code, right? No, You have to be very careful about which product code you use. You should only use a code which you know will be OK on your phone. (Generally, most people will want to use a EURO1 code, or other language pack generic code) This thread has a comprehensive listing of Nokia 5800 XM product codes.
This is legal, right? Does this affect my warranty in any way? While it is legal to change the product code of your phone, it DOES void your warranty with Nokia (and your network) as you have altered the phone from the way it was configured when you purchased the phone.
Will I still get support for my Nokia 5800 XM? Generally, yes. Most Nokia service centres (certainly in the UK) won’t mind that you’ve changed the product code. However, as a rule of thumb, should you need support for your phone, it’s a good idea to ensure you change the phone back to it’s real product code before seeking support. Nokia Malaysia (MY) WILL NOT repair phones with the wrong product codes, so if your phone is being sent to Nokia it is very important that the code is correct. Obviously this could be a problem if your phone is completely dead and can’t be accessed your first point of contact in this case should be to talk to your local Nokia service centre and tell them that you need the product code changed back.

Original Phones vs. Approval Products
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Original Sets - Nokia authorized distributors are Zitron, Avaxx and i-Mobile. - Sony Ericsson authorized distributors are T-Choice, Grandtech and Midlands. - First Mobile Group (FMG) is the main distributor of Samsung phones. - FMG is giving 18 months warranty. - Motorola authorized distributor are Satellite Technics, Zitron and MDM. - Siemens authorized distributors are Zitron and FMG. - You can service your phone at any service centres (Nokia Professional Centre, Sony Ericsson Certified Service Centres...) - 1 year warranty for the full set including charger, battery, handsfree. - Geniune parts are used for repairing.
AP Sets / Approval Products - Approval Products - Mainly imported from oversea and sell it to the consumers. - AP set warranty by companies such as Final Choice, CSL, Nefion, Telstra, GTMax...etc - 1 year warranty for the phone and 1 month for the accesories like charger, battery, handsfree. - You must bring your phone back to the place u bought the phone for servicing.
Water Set Stolen / Brought in from oversea without paying tax aka SIRIM Sticker. Considered Illegal. Mostly brought in by student studying oversea.
Tips & Guides
Tips 1 If you have an AP set with Vodafone or T-Mobile logo, it means that your phone might be locked. Those Vodafone or T-Mobile are the service operators in the UK and that's where the phones come from. Not all AP sets have the logo. AP sets are Approved Products which means that these products are certified by sirim that your product is safe to use.
In other words, AP product not brought in by the authorised distributor like Midland, T-Choice for SE, Avaxx or Zitron for Nokia, FMG for Samsung and etc. The phones can even come from Singapore and may even have the M1, Singtel or Starhub logo. Remember to check the phone if it is locked especially those from Singapore and Vodafone.
Tips 2 AP sets has different level of QC. Big AP companies like Final Choice, GTMAX, Nefion, Telstra, O'Connors have extensive QC checks. Others like MSL, YS, PLANTRONICS or names not mentioned above, are slightly cheaper than the above. Whether they replaced their parts with other stuff, its another question.
Tips 3 AP set actually pay government tax but is juz that they are not taxed by the Local Authorised Dealer. AP set is normally distributed by small handphones companies and they might stop business anytime. Futhermore if there's major damage on your AP set, the AP companies might not have enough equiptment to fix it. At the end, they still have to send it to the authorized dealer (eg. Zitron, Avaxx).
Tips 4 Like what everyone else have said, a phone without a SIRIM sticker is considered as illegal and thus cannot be sold here. But I'm gonna assume that if the phone is not available here, it should be better. And besides, if you bought the phone from overseas and bring it back here to use, don't tell me it would be illegal to use it right?
Speaking of buying a waterset from a shop, they might say that you did not inspect it properly before buying and thus you are at fault. So yeah guys, if you wanna buy a phone, do yourselves a favor and do these few things:
- Check for SIRIM sticker (this is a MUST. Everyone should know this). - Cross check IMEI numbers on the phone and the box - Ask for warranty card. - Ask if the warranty card needs to be sent to wherever necessary. - Check all the features of the phone (iow, play with the phone, make sure everything is working). - Check for dead pixels. - Check the firmware if possible (*#0000# for most nokias). This way, you can check if it's old stock or not. - And of course, make sure you get the propper set. As in nothing missing like the handsfree and stuff.
Watersets are usually sold without accesories, only phone and charger. So sometimes if you add up buying the accesories elsewhere, it might cost near the same as buying a proper set. There are reconditioned set might be known as water set, so beware while you buying. Recond set are second hand handphones from overseas, they juz change the phone cover (might not be original cover) and do some servicing inside and sell it as an AP set with warranty 1 year summore. As I know FMG will not fix phones other than FMG warranty handset (even they are paid they will not fix)
Identify Original and AP Set - Take out the phone case and battery. - original set comes with authorized company sticker (Zitron, Avaxx, T-Choice, Midland). - AP set comes with AP company sticker (Final Choice). - press *#06# to check the phone 15 digit serial number (IMEI). - compare it with the IMEI written on phone sticker (back of phone case) and package box sticker. - for original set, these serial numbers are the same.

Which one is right for you?
Resistive (Nokia 5800XM & Nokia N97) - Designed to allow items other than your finger to activate the touch. It also allows touch pens otherwise know as a Stylus to be used. - Generally require a little more "effort", but you can use almost anything.
Capacitive (iPhone) - Best for situations that require high speed response and long lasting reliability. - Has to be used with fingers - cannot use a finger nail or other pointing device, cannot be used whilst wearing gloves (ie. when its cold).
The iPhone uses the more advanced capacitive technology, which doesn't need actual contact. Capacitive sensors sit behind the glass and sense when the electrical field is disturbed. It allows for multi touch etc, which most touch screens are not capable of. Because there is no resistive film, it allows the display to be brighter. Capacitive screens are more expensive the manufacture, but given the massive price tag of the N97, you'd have thought Nokia would use the best type of screen possible? Especially as it looks likely to be pitched against the iPhone.

The main difference is Contact and Message editors, with the help of Nokia PC Suite, you can edit Contacts as well as you can send messages from PC when your phone is connected with the help of Nokia Communication Centre, which is not present as of now in Nokia NSeries / Nokia OVI Suite. This is the major difference.
Then some applications like Image Store, Nokia Music Manager and File Manager are there in normal Nokia PC Suite whereas, Nokia OVI Suite has got stand alone applications like Nokia Music (replacement for Music manager in Nokia PC Suite), Home Media Server, Nokia Photos (Replacement for Nokia Lifeblog), etc are present in Nokia OVI Suite.
Applications like NSeries Music Manager and NSeries Video Manager were not there in Nokia OVI Suite. NSeries PC Suite was almost replaced by Nokia OVI Suite nowadays.
Apart from this you can download standalone applications like Nokia Map Loader, Nokia Software Updater (it will download along with both Nokia PC Suite as well as Nokia OVI Suite while installing), Nokia photos etc.
Applications like Content Copier, Nokia Application Installer, Nokia PC Sync are common to both Nokia PC Suite and Nokia OVI Suite. When it comes to user perspective, they feel Nokia PC Suite is much easier to use than Nokia OVI Suite.

Money/Budget - How much money you have, what's your budget for ur new phone, this is the first constraint, what u buy is what u willing to spent, if you do not have budget constrain then you can go to next step.
Functionality and Performance - If you do not have budget constraint, then go for the best hp in the market, despite the price is sky rocketing till RM2k-RM3k, if you thinking about issit worth it or not then you can go to next step.
Value for money - Simple calculation on how to select your phone, 1st: List down all the function you hope you can acquire, 2nd: List down all the function that you must have, after u list down, then you can start comparing how? how to compare? below is the steps:
a. Put separate pricing for all the things you wan according to importancy. eg. GPS: RM200, WIFI: RM100, this is to quantify what you need and dont need. b. Add up all the value together and you get a total price, the one with the highest price using this method will be the one that can satisfy you the most, however if you thinking worth it or not you will have to look at the difference of your ideal estimation and the actual price, lowest difference between ur estimation and actual will be the one u looking for.
According to information provided, the combination should either be option 1 + option 3 or option 2 + option 3, either budget+value or without budget+value, following is an example i will show u all:
My pricing according function to my preference (Must have list): - GPS = RM500 (Most important to my liking) - Wifi = RM400 (2nd to my liking) - MMS = RM350 (2nd important to me) - 3G = RM300 (3rd important to me) - Video Recording = RM200 (not that important already) - Camera = RM100 (I got SLR with me, not really important) - Total = RM1850
My pricing according function to my preference (Additional component): - 8 megapixel = RM20 - 5 megapixel = RM10 - With flash = RM10 - VGA Video recording = RM20 - Additional card slot = RM10 - HD Video recording = RM50
Phone A Original Price = RM2000 Function: GPS = RM500, WIFI = RM400, 3G = RM300, MMS = RM350, 5MP Camera with flash = RM10+RM100+RM10, VGA Recording = RM200+RM20
Estimated Ideal Total Price = 500+400+300+350+10+100+10+200+20 = RM1890 Original minus Ideal total price = RM110 (lower price for better value)
Phone B Original Price = RM2400: Function GPS = RM500, WIFI = RM400, 3G = RM300, MMS = RM350, 8MP Camera with flash = RM20 + RM100 + RM10, HD Video recording = RM200+RM50
Estimated Ideal Total Price= 500+400+300+350+100+200+RM50+RM20+RM10 = RM1930 Original minus Ideal total price = RM470 (higher price for best value)
For those who got dont mind paying or without budget constraint they should got for Phone B, for those who wan value for money, they should go for Phone A, as it can provide best satisfaction at a lower money for value.

Purchasing Your Nokia 5800XM - General Information
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Nokia´s latest music phone, the 5800 XpressMusic, is yet another cool candybar model worth checking out. Features such as multi-format music player, stereo speakers, hi-fi sound with eight-band equaliser, eight gigabytes (GB) of storage and 1,000 free song downloads will likely go down well with audiophiles.
The Media Bar accommodates quick access to music, podcasts and other multimedia files as well as the Internet. To enjoy audio on the go, the device can be matched with the supplied hands-free kit. The stereo surround sound capability delivered by the built-in speakers lets you share your music experience loud.
Another highlight feature is the model´s 3.2-inch high-resolution touch-screen. Responsive to fingertip, stylus and plectrum control, the screen also provides automatic screen rotation through its built-in accelerometer and accommodates handwriting input.
Note that when switching from vertical to horizontal view, or vice versa, the screen will go blackout for a second before popping again to show your preferred view.
To enhance the home screen view, Nokia added the Contacts bar, where you can place the avatars of four best friends or family members on the main screen.
The 5800 XpressMusic´s 3.2-megapixel camera is capable of churning out images up to 2,048 by 1,536 pixels. With Carl Zeiss optics, 3X digital zoom, auto-focus and dual LED flash, you shouldn´t face any problems getting decent JPEG shots. You can also edit the photos to your liking.
Meanwhile, video recording can be done at up to 640 by 480 pixels at 30 frames per second. Recording is only limited by the size of the available memory, and with the supplied 8GB Micro Secure Digital card to add to the existing 81 megabytes of internal memory, you can get cool footages of concerts, showcases and other fun events.
Sharing those files is also easy as the 5800 XpressMusic offers a comprehensive list of connectivity options, the easiest being Bluetooth and USB 2.0 for transfer to PC and other devices. And with the Nokia CA-75U video-out cable, which comes with the package, your pictures and footages can be shown on the television for all to enjoy.
With High Speed Downlink Packet Access support and WLAN IEEE802.11b/g, accessing the Internet is also a breeze. A wireless LAN wizard program comes pre-loaded to help you out. Be it uploading photos to your blog or downloading the online news pages, the horizontal view that the screen supports creates a convenient Web surfing experience.
With A-GPS feature and Nokia Maps application, you can get navigation help from the 5800 XpressMusic. From tracking location to routing the next destination, directions come with pedestrian walk or satellite hybrid views. The package includes Nokia Maps with seven days of real-time navigation anywhere in the world for you to try out.
Features aside, the 5800 XpressMusic may come across looking like a typical candybar phone. Although thicker than many other Nokia candybars, this model feels solid and its glossy front bezel adds a bit of sophistication to the design.
Besides that, the rubbery feel of its back panel makes the device easy to grip. All ports also come with a protective lid, while buttons are nicely tucked in the front and sides, making the overall look simple and practical.
The 5800 XpressMusic offers plenty of value for money. That is, if you don´t mind a couple of hangs while using it during testing, the unit froze a couple of times while this writer was playing the cool pre-loaded games.
As for Malaysians intended sales variants, Nokia only releases 3 different type for us, they are:
a. 0573786: APAC1 Black MALAYSIA b. 0570197: APAC1 BLUE MALAYSIA c. 0570196: APAC1 RED MALAYSIA
If you have purchased other than above stated product codes, your bought a wrong device, maybe an underwater sets which has been smuggled in or the phone which is not intended for Malaysian market.
Avoid Fake Products
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
It is said that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Except when it is used to deceive people and rob them.
There have been replicas made of some of the higher-end Nokia models, in particular the 8800 Sapphire Arte and 8800 Carbon Arte, both of which have a £1000+ price tag on them in the Nokia Online store, and then sold on eBay represented as the original Nokia product being sold at a discount price.
This short guide should help you avoid falling into the trap that scammers have laid for you.
First of all, just look at the price. There's no such thing as a free lunch and if something looks too good to be true then there's a significant probability that it simply is too good to be true. I recently saw multiple cases of people buying what they thought to be genuine Nokia 8800 Sapphire Artes but turned out to be Chinese fakes. One of them said that he paid $450 for his. Purely on that basis I would have left that phone well alone. $450 is less than a quarter of the phone's normal retail price and it therefore cannot be anything but a fake.
Secondly, the photos. Most online auction sites allow photos of the item for auction to be posted in order to give potential buyers an idea of what they're bidding for. Always be wary of sellers who only provide photos that come directly from Nokia's Press Site. You are not seeing a photo of the actual device being sold, you are seeing generic photos used for publicity's sake. Insist on seeing photos of the phone being sold and if the seller doesn't want to send you any then walk away. Obtaining such photos serves a double purpose: firstly you get to see the actual phone. Secondly, you can return the phone as non-compliant if it is evidently not the phone on the photos that you were told were photos of it.
Thirdly, the IMEI number. The IMEI number is a 15-digit unique number that identifies the phone in question. Insist upon having it. Then go to this page, enter that IMEI number, and you will be told exactly what model phone has that IMEI number. If it's not the model that's being sold then the seller is trying to pull a fast one on you. Of course, it could be that the seller does communicate the IMEI number of an authentic Nokia phone to you but sends you a fake with a completely different IMEI number. In that case, the phone shipped to you is obviously different from the one promised and you can return it and annull the sale.
Fourthly, if the phone is being represented as the "Chinese version" then it almost certainly is a fake. Nokia does have a production plant in China so "Made in China" isn't at all grounds for rejection, but "Chinese version" is. While it's true that there is a genuine "Chinese" version of many Nokia phones (they have neither WiFi nor 3G capability as demanded by the Chinese government), it's not something a seller would shout about. If they do say that it's a "Chinese version" phone then the chances are that it's not a Nokia at all and it's more like a "Chinese fake".
The four points above assume you don't have access to the phone yet because you're buying it online through an auction site or just an online retailer. A few things you can look at if you can get your hands on it before buying are as follows.
All new Nokia phones respond to the code *#7780# entered on the keypad by asking you to confirm that you want to revert to factory settings and asking you for a lock code. If the phone you're looking at doesn't do this then it's not a Nokia.
Try and get the firmware version currently installed in the phone. To do this, enter *#0000# from standby. There's no way to validate formally the information you'll see but one thing that means the phone you're looking at definitely is a fake is the date of the firmware revision in American format, MM-DD-YYYY, "02-22-2007" for example. If you're unsure, note down exactly what you see and ask on the Nokia Support Discussions forum.
Finally, ask if you can plug the phone into the USB socket of your laptop computer with the provided cable (assuming one is provided). There's no need to install any software on your laptop, all you want to see is how the phone reacts. A genuine Nokia phone, when connected to a USB port, will give you the options "Default mode", "Printing" and "Data storage" for some models and "PC Suite", "Mass storage", "Image transfer" and "Media transfer" for others. Or combinations thereof. Options frequently seen on fakes and never on genuine Nokias include "webcam" and "comport". If the phone you're looking at displays either of these two options then it's definitely a fake.
There are many risks involved with the purchase of an expensive piece of equipment like a high-end mobile phone. Many of them can be eliminated by not trusting auction sites with a reputation as shady in that area as the one that comes to mind first of all, who went on the record condoning the sale of counterfeit items in the name of "consumer choice". The risks diminish significantly if you purchase either online or in a real store but from somewhere that has a good reputation and a good returns policy. However, the only way to be 100% certain that you're getting the genuine article is to buy it directly from Nokia. If you do get yours from your mobile network operator then it will also be a genuine Nokia albeit tampered with by the operator.

Phones that are capable of using GPS (Global Positioning System) will have several different methods of positioning. You can select which positioning methods you use by going to Menu> Tools> Settings> General> Positioning> Positioning Methods.
1. Integrated GPS - This refers to a phone's built in GPS receiver. GPS satellites continuously transmit their location relative to the Earth, and your phone's GPS receiver can calculate its own position if it knows the position of at least three satellites. Today, almost all N- and E-series phones have integrated GPS, plus a selection of 6xxx phones.
2. Bluetooth GPS - If you do not have integrated GPS or you wish to improve GPS reception, you can connect your phone to an external GPS receiver device which can replace or complement Integrated GPS.
3. Assisted GPS - This is a network-based service used to help fix a GPS position. When using this, small amounts of data are transmitted so you need a network-based internet service from your network operator for which you may be charged by the download volume. Only small amounts of data are involved, but you should take care using this feature if you are travelling outside your own country as roaming data charges can be high.
4. Network-based - whenever your phone is switched on and in range of your operator's network, it knows which base station (commonly known as the transmitter or mast) it is connected to, and using that information it can approximate your position using this network data. This is an additional help in obtaining a GPS fix, and it also makes a brief data connection.
Recommended to use (1) and (3) only chargeable of RM0.10 cents per connection for normal plan user and Free for unlimited data plan user.
A number of factors can affect your phone's ability to obtain its GPS position:
- First time use - Fresh out the box, it may take 15-20 minutes for your phone to get its first ever GPS fix, longer in extreme cases. - Built-up areas - if you are in a city with many tall buildings, they may interrupt the signals from the GPS satellites and make it harder to obtain and maintain a fix. - Weather - adverse weather conditions, particularly heavy cloud, can affect the strength of the GPS signals getting through from the satellites. - Receiver location - Do you own an N95 or N95 8Gb? Your GPS receiver is under the keypad, so ensure you always have the slider open when using GPS. - Your Windscreen - Heat-reflective (athermic) windscreens common in Citroën, Peugeot and Renault cars can interfere with GPS signals, as can windscreen heating elements often found in Ford cars. If you have one of these, an external GPS receiver or signal booster can be very useful.

Theory Time For The GPS Mystery
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
For us to getting the first GPS location fix, there are 3 requirement need to be fulfill:
1. The time the message was sent 2. Precise orbital information (the ephemeris) 3. The general system health and rough orbits of all GPS satellites (the almanac).
To simplify its meaning: 1. The time on ur devices and the time of the satellite 2. The satelite actual time data (need to keep the devices syn with the satellite) 3. The satelite orbits location at certain time (how many satellite will possible visible by the devices) GPS fix steps:
1. During the cold GPS device startup (devices reboot), the phone dont have all 3 data and it will try to scan through all 32 GPS satellite signal signature (that's why an open space needed to let the phone detected as many satellite as possible)
2. The phone then will download all those available satellite signal and do calculation (no.2), this is where the a-GPS come in handy where if u let it connect to our sp 3g then the phone will just send a msg to the sp 3g tower and request the (no. 2) data, where all those 3g tower will report it's location to the Nokia / Google positioning server and download the rough location on the GPS fix then the tower will send this (no. 2) data back to our phone.
3. If no A-GPS then the phone will have to download those (no.2) data manually (mean very slow) and I can tell for those a few bytes satellite data will need to take about 10mins with the satellite signal strength about full (mean if u open the Garmin satellite status those bar need to hit about full bar) if the satellite signal strength are lower (mean less then full bar) then the signal data accquiring will take up 15mins~30mins to be downloaded (same a few bytes data) for ~4kb we can get all 32 satellites (no.2) data.
4. Once the (no.2) data downloaded the signal bar will turn to solid (a fix already capture) and the phone already can syn with the satellite.
5. Remember all those satellite signal will need to collect 1 by 1 (although run at parallel) if no A-GPS enable.
6. If got A-GPS then ALL 32 satellite (no.2) data will be provide by the supp. server (~4kb) and your phone will able to lock every satellite that come in view.
Those (no.2) data wont be delete as long as ur phone not reboot. and everytime u open the GPS apps the same data will be use back and the phone only do minor calculation and can get the fix, this wont work out if u reopen after a few hours because the satellite previously lock already out of sigh (all satellite orbiting very fast)
So now you know where although we seen got a FULL BAR for the satellite strength but still cant get a fast fix, it's because the satellite manual downloading through the GPS chip are VERY SLOW (a few bytes will need 10 minutes to be completed). DO NOT MOVE AROUND WHEN YOU DO THIS!
1. Shutdown ur phone 2. Reboot the phone 3. Go to an open space 4. Disable the a-GPS and network under the LOCATIONS apps 5. Run Garmin XT 6. Go into the the satellite status view screen (in Garmin) 7. Start ur timer and observe those FULL BAR satellite (strong signal) 8. At least 4 satellites needed for Garmin to start calculating minimum requirement. 9. Wait till the bar turn to solid (anyone of it). 10. Stop ur timer.
Sometimes lucky and might get a faster time that's because it' not sure a reboot will 'confirmed" deleted the satellite cache (No.2) data or not but for a cold start it can make sure you will able to lock the GPS in 10 minutes for a single satellite (the signal strengh must be high).

A-GPS Charges Varies
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
A-GPS charges once per lock u get on the specific coordinate captured by satellite. The charges may also increase on below situation:
You locked position at home, moving towards KLCC. Upon reaching Subang Jaya using federal highway, the satellite lost you device detection and no GPS available. Then the lock is gained again when you reach Kelana Jaya. In this situation, u were moving and the distance is quite far and possible to immediate lock is a less chance. In this case you get 2 locks using A-GPS that means u gotta pay RM0.20 cents.
Celcom, Maxis and DiGi reports that A-GPS charges are RM0.10 cents per 10KB

It seems to be a small issue, where by Nokia might wants the user to go online search for the first time on the Nokia Maps before subsequent searches are performed offline mode. This may due to device authentication data sent online to Nokia for log purpose. Once the first time online search ends, close Nokia OVI Maps and do an offline search. It works !

Run Location and disable the agps and network under positioning setting. 13. Run the OVI maps. 14. When the 3G internet prompt up select cancel (do not connect) (if it still pop up, suppose wont because we already disable A-GPS and network in Location setting). 15. Go to setting and change the internet to online. 16. Select appropiate voice guidance file. 17. Go outside where more satelite can be search. 18. Now go to my location and wait for the satelite to get a fix (might be take long since no agps) 19. Make sure the red dot are "IN MALAYSIA". 20. Change maps mode as SATELITE view to try the WiFi can download the satelite image (to ensure WiFi is working). 21. Once confirm WiFi working switch back to maps view. 22. Walk around and you will see the GPS is working already (since it already lock, red dot will turn SOLID RED and satellite bar should be green).
The most useful for the 3G internet password prompt when agps and network positioning enable: 1. Select YES during the password prompt you will have A-GPS (fast lock with charges). 2. Select CANCEL during the password prompt you will have full I-GPS (slow lock but FOC).
Steps 18 and 19 are needed because sometime during the first time OVI maps run it will set it "previous' location as some where maybe not within Malaysia and if this happen and you dont have those location maps downloaded in the database then it will direct download from the internet and who know which access point it gonna use (if it use 3G internet then you will lost lots of phone credits for those huge maps data), confirm this if you dont have the maps data install it will direct download the file.

Inserting Multiple Maps - Garmin XT
During my research into GarminXT and finding maps for it, I've come across some information which may be very useful to those you want to keep more than one country map on their device. For those of you who are not confident in using the Hack Toolset (cgpsmapper, gmaptool and maptoolsetkit programs) to make the IMG maps readable by the Garmin MapSource program.
Instructions: 1. Name the <map1>.img to gmapbmap.img and place in Garmin folder. 2. Rename <map2>.img to gmapprom.img and place in Garmin folder. 3. Rename <map3>.img to gmapsupp.img and place in Garmin folder. 4. Rename <map4>.img to gmapsup2.img and place in Garmin folder. 5. Rename <map5>.img to gmapsupp.img and place in <MEMORYCARD>:\Garmin\Apps
This last map doesn't always work though.
You can check that everything is working by opening GarminXT>Tools>Manage Maps and all maps should be showing.
Garmin XT Mobile Battery Draining Issue
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
This it seem is due to a background process that Garmin Mobile XT starts upon boot up of your Symbian operating system as well as upon running of the Mobile XT software. Things you will need to verify if you are affected by this background process.
1. An installed version of Garmin Mobile XT
2. Kill Me or JBakTaskMan Step 1 - Select the process TSRAutoStart.exe Step 2 - Select Menu -> Terminate process (Or any related end task command)
How to prevent TSRAutostart from auto loading upon boot up. Step 1 - Plug mobile phone to PC under Mass Storage mode (! important as directories used are otherwise hidden) Step 2 - Delete file CardRunner.RSC in directory under Mobile Phone\Resource\plugins\CardRunner.RSC Step 3 - Delete the file CardRunner.dll in directory under Mobile Phone\sys\bin\CardRunner.dll

The new Garmin XT kills the battery life on our phones. There is a program called TSRAutostart.exe that is draining the battery. If you have jbtaskman and kill the process, it will just start again when you restart your phone. Here is a solution to stop that file from automatically starting, thus greatly increasing your battery life.
To stop that file from restarting, plug your phone into your computer and use the mass storage setting. Then, delete these two files
This will stop that battery hog file from starting up. If you install jbtaskman you can kill the process after your run garmin. This will increase your battery.
As of version 5.0.0.40, this background process is now an option that can be switched off, saving you the trouble of killing the process each time you run Garmin. Start GMobileXT, goto Tools -> Settings -> System, scroll down all the way till you see the option "Launch background service" and select Disabled then Done to save.

Searching by address in the Malaysian maps, whether Malfreemaps or Malsingmaps takes some patience and effort. Tried this in Garmin Mobile XT.
Do an address search, spell country as Malaysia, then search all cities. Don’t enter a house number, this almost always doesn’t work in Malaysia, ie. skip this, by pressing Next. In the "Street" screen, simply enter "SS 20/13" without the quotes, no need to type in Jalan or Lorong, or whatever. In this case, in the whole of Malaysia, there’s only one "SS 20/13" so only one search result is displayed, and clicking on it will bring you to the detailed map !

You need to back up the existing GARMIN folder on your memory card, which are the map files, as well as any POIs that you have created and the settings are in there. The license file for the new phone should be a different one and you can’t use the one for the existing one for the new phone, unless your Garmin XT MObile came in an official SD card.
The fastest way to test is to copy the entire garmin folder across to the new memory card. The problem is, you have to reinstall the Garmin software again, after successfull installation, delete the new E:\GARMIN folder entirely and replace with the old ones that you did backup from old phone.
Also, finally get back the license key from Garmin to be able for you use the Internal GPS if you have purchased the Garmin XT Mobile previously.

First Time Charging & The Nokia 5800XM Charging
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Take the phone and battery out of their wrapping, and insert the battery making sure that its holes match up to the prongs in the phone. If you're unsure how to do this take a look at the quick start guide that comes with the phone. (Long-time Nokia users may be surprised to see the "wrong" side of the battery facing outwards, but don't worry, it is meant to be that way round.) When you've got the battery inserted properly and snapped the casing back on, attach the charger and plug it into the mains. You can use any Nokia charger with an appropriate-size pin, though different types of Nokia chargers fill the battery at different rates (if you look on the charger you will see a "mA" number, this is higher in chargers that charge faster).
Now to kill a couple of myths: - You do NOT need to empty the battery before charging! - You do NOT need to charge the battery for 24 hours on first use!
There are many misconceptions from the days of older types of batteries which suffered from the "memory effect". Modern lithium phone batteries work in a much more flexible way, and do not require any special treatment when first used.
Batteries do eventually wear out of course, but you should be able to get a couple of years use from a brand new phone battery. Disconnect the charger once the battery is full, always, dont charge overnight !
Charging the battery usually takes a couple of hours if it's close to empty.

C:\resource\apps - The MIF files (Icon Files) Of the Softwares Installed in the phone,
C:\sys\data\mmcstore - This file has the Memory Card Password, Open with a text editor to view the current memory card password.
1. C:\private\10000850\ contains the mbm file of operator logos
2. C:\private\100059c9\start.dat some kind of autorun trigger. I couldnt decode this file, but it is it, I'm sure.. Why I think so? Because only after renaming or moving this file, autorun doesnt work. In all other cases apps start.
3. C:\private\10202be9\20001079.txt this location.. in this text file there is code, and a line which says :

6. There are some huge file in phone, c:/private/102072c4/reserved.bin, 4.5 Mb size of plain 0xff.
Deleted it and free up phone memory check if your phone has one. The files are for FOTA (firmware over the air) coz when remove it, and go to the device mgr. app it reappears, so its safe to remove it, we wont need it as we never get any FOTA updates.
Your access points are stored in C:\Private\10202be9\persists\cccccc00.cre. Just make a copy of cccccc00.cre, and restore it to your phone (or send it to another phone), restart your phone, and you have your access point settings back just the way they were when you made the backup.
Bluetooth Your bluetooth name is in C:\Private\10202be9\persists\10204dac.cre, your paired devices are in C:\Private\100012a5\DBS_100069CC_btregistry
Bookmarks The bookmarks of Symbian's built-in web browser are stored in C:\Private\100012a5\DBS_101FD685_BrowserBookmarks. db.
Calendar Calendar entries are stored in C:\Private\10003a5b\Calendar.
Cookies The cookies of Symbian's built-in web browser are in C:\Private\101f8530\cookies.dat. Restart your phone after restoring or transfering the cookies file. If you've told your browser to delete your cookies, there is no cookies.dat file in C:\Private\101f8530.
Messages Your SMSs and mails from Symbian's built-in messaging application are stored in C:\Private\1000484b. If you've told your phone to store messages on your memory card, they are in E:\Private\1000484b. Copy the entire folder, and restore when needed.
Notes The notes you write in Symbian's Notes application are stored in C:\Private\100012a5\DBS_101F8878_Notepad.dat. If you can't delete or replace the file, it's because Symbian is using it. But there's a workaround for this problem: go to settings, data manager, memory, and select "back up phone memory" from the options menu. While your phone is making the backup, you can delete or replace the DBS_101F8878_Notepad.dat file.
Profiles Your profiles are stored in C:\Private\10202be9\persists\101f8798.cre. If you restore the backup, restart your phone.

1. Calibri We’ve found this font to be extremely good on the Nokia 5800 in all areas. It is a great web browser font and looks great on your phone, take a look at the screenshots above. I currently have it on my Nokia 5800 and it’s probably the one that I would recommend the most.
2. iPhone style (Helvetica Neue CE 55 Roman) We tried to find a font that look similar to the iPhones so you could put it on your Nokia 5800.
3. WalkWay WalkWay is more of a broader font that looks good on the 5800 messaging screen and general navigation of the phone but lacks when you view web pages. It is still very stylish and that’s why we have included it in this post.
4. Street - Plain This was one of the very first fonts that I put on my phone. It is great in all areas of the phone and is very clear.
5. Practical Practical is another font that I favour on my 5800 but the only problem why it is not a permanent font is because the font I see on my web browser is not that visually appealing. If you are not using the internet a lot or don’t mind that font on the internet, this is a very neat font.
6. Francophilsans Plus This font was new to me when I was trying it on my 5800 but I was impressed at the display on the phone, but again it lacked on the internet. It is quite bold and big on the screen so it will be very easy to read and looks good to.
7. Anna You will find Anna quite small on your 5800 but it has a shape about it that makes it very minimalistic.
To those aren't able to use in v31 and v41 please use Font Router Manager below and SIS/SISX applications may require user to SIGN and INSTALL, therefore make sure u have read Symbian Signing method using CER and KEY at the General Tips & Tricks I)

Opera Mobile 10 Beta has stormed into our Symbian world providing us an amazing user experience but recent reports on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic are not so favorable due to the low memory effects but here is a tweak that could be used to manually configure Opera Mobile to give you a little extra notch.
On the url box type opera:config
Now Opera Mobile will open some wonderful hidden screens. Here you have lots of configuration options, there are two of special interest; the first one is "disk cache" under this one you will find an option called "size" changing this from the default 4096 to 2048 seems to have a positive impact in Nokia 5800 XpressMusic´s memory usage:
Change it to 2048 from the standard default.
Now go on and type opera:drives and you’ll see you’ll be able to use Opera Mobile 10 Beta as kind off a bare bones utility task manager. Again you can try these settings on any S60 device but they’ll have a higher mileage on the s60v5.
Backup Contacts, Messages, Settings Etc.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
The Nokia 5800XM has a backup feature embedded. You can program it to be automatic, such as daily, weekly etc. and remember this because I strongly recommend you to activate this after the any recovery to save yourself.
Indeed these files have the .arc extension, but I've never been able to open it on the computer and remember, these files are not compatible with PC Suite. Copy these backup files elsewhere on your PC. and keep it safe, it is in such situation that you are pretty nervous and you make bad mistakes, losing your last chances to recover piece of data.
Have your memory card of your Nokia connected directly to a PC, back it up using simple copy or ZIP of the entire card. Now you should have find your .arc files in the Backup folder (hidden folder) of the memory card.
For these kind of backup, I do personally recommend you to backup Contacts, Messages, Settings, Calendars (Optional) and Bookmarks (Optional) and do not backup your personal files (User Files).
To backup from phone: 1. Go to the standard Nokia File Manager. 2. Click on Backup. 3. Then Options -> Restore. 4. Select the desired, such as Contacts, Messages, Settings etc. 5. Click "OK" to start backup process.
To restore the backup: 1. Go to the standard Nokia File Manager. 2. Click on Backup. 3. Then Options -> Restore. 4. Select the desired, such as Contacts, Messages, Settings etc. 5. Click "OK" to start restore process.
My personal advise is to never trust any electronic devices for your valueable data. Remember, these mistakes are not done by the device itself, its always our mistake and lack of precautions.

Save A Wet Cell Phone
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
1. Get it out of the water as soon as possible. The plastic covers on cell phones are fairly tight, but water can enter the phone in a short period of time, perhaps only 20 seconds or less. So grab your phone quickly! If you can't get to it in time, your best bet is to remove the battery while it is still under water. Water helps dissipate heat from shorts that can damage the phone, so most damage occurs when the inside of the phone is merely wet and there is a power source. This can go both ways. Being under water is more likely to short the battery to even more sensitive contacts, so be careful.
2. Don't panic. Your phone will probably not be too damaged if you right away take it out of the water. While it's in the water, immediately take it out.
3. Remove the battery. This is one of the most important steps. Don't take time to think about it; electricity and water do not mix. Cutting power to your phone is a crucial first step in saving it. Many circuits inside the phone will survive immersion in water provided they are not attached to a power source when wet.
4. If you have a sim card ,remove your SIM card. Some or all of your valuable contacts (along with other data) could be stored on your SIM. To some people this could be more worth saving than the phone itself. SIM cards survive water damage well, but some of the following steps are unnecessary i.e. don't heat it. Just pat it dry and leave it aside until you need to connect your phone to your cellular network.
5. Dry your phone. Obviously you need to remove as much of the water as soon as possible, so you can save it from getting into the phone. Shake it out without dropping it, then use a towel or paper towel (ideally trying not to clog the wet paper in the gaps and grooves of the phone) to gently remove as much of the remaining water as possible. Dry the excess moisture by hand.
6. Remove any covers and external connectors to open up as many gaps, slots, and crevices in the phone as possible.
7. Use a vacuum cleaner if possible Let the phone sit on absorbent towels, napkin, or other paper. It is thought that letting a cellphone sit in rice will absorb moisture including under the screen. Remember that the goal is to evacuate all the moisture and humidity, not to trap it or add even more. Check the absorbent material every hour for 4 to 6 hours. If moisture is evident, repeat the vacuuming step and desiccant steps.
8. Use a hairdryer or the heating vent to your car. Turn the hairdryer on a medium setting and gently dry the keypad and trackball on the phone. Dry any parts that may have gotten damp for 5-7 minutes. If you do not have access to a hairdryer at the time, then the heater on in a car full blast. Hold the phone up to the vent and dry all areas for 5-10 minutes.
9. Test your phone. After you have waited a day or so, make sure everything is clean and dry looking and re-attach the battery to the phone and see if it works. If your phone does not work, try plugging it into its charger without the battery, if this works, you need a new battery. If not, try taking your cell phone to an authorized dealer. Sometimes they can fix it. Don't try to hide the fact that it has been wet. There are internal indicators that prove moisture.
Actions On Lost / Stolen Phone
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
What should I do? What you need to do is report the loss/theft to the police and to your network operator immediately that you know of the problem - your operator can then deactivate the SIM so that whoever has your phone can't make any calls on your account. Depending on which country you are in, your operator could also add your phone's IMEI to a blacklist shared with other networks - this will prevent the phone being used on networks in that country and is the most effective way to thwart thieves and those who buy stolen goods from thieves.
How do I protect my data in case of loss/theft? You can lock your phone with the security keyguard, this will then kick in after a pre-set number of minutes, requiring the security code (sometimes called the lock code) to be entered in order to access the phone. If you intend to protect your phone data this way, there are two important things to remember. The first is to change the code from the standard 12345, which virtually everybody knows, and the second is not to forget your code, because if you do you will need to visit your local Nokia service point to clear the code - a process which will also wipe your data. However, the real truth is that unless you are Barack Obama, Madonna or somebody equally high-profile, the average thief doesn't care for your data. The common thief is after the hardware - the phone would be sold on and in use by somebody else, your data would be wiped. The best security for your phone itself is to keep it secure.
Can I lock the phone remotely? Only if you are prepared for this eventuality in advance. Some phones such as the N96 have a Remote Phone Locking facility which you can activate in the security settings which will lock the phone when it receives a pre-set message. On other S60 smartphones, you may be able to install third-party software to achieve the same thing. All of this, of course, relies on your phone being able to receive the security message, which means that it must be switched on and your SIM card to still be in.
Can my phone be tracked? Practically, no. If your SIM card is in and the phone switched on, your network operator knows roughly where it is by the base station (mast) that it is closest to, but this is not something that is available to the end user and it only gives an approximate location anyway. Some people ask why their phone can't be tracked by GPS. The reason is that GPS-equipped phones have GPS receivers only, they receive signals from GPS satellites in order to work out the coordinates of the phone's location on the Earth's surface - the phone is not in any way broadcasting its location for the GPS system or any other system to follow.
IMEI Australia is the first country to implement IMEI blocking across all digital GSM networks. Some countries have IMEI blocking on individual networks, but not inter-carrier IMEI number blocking. IMEI number is broadcast to the network everytime a call is made, along with the user's account information on the sim card. So, let's say the person who stole a phone just takes out owner's SIM card and puts in their's, and keeps using the phone. For example, T-mobile would be able to recognise the IMEI number on owner's phone every time that person makes a call. Since they would have their SIM card in owner's phone, it also makes sense that T-mobile could easily access their account and provide a name, address, etc. to owner or the police. Unfortunately this facility is not available in Malaysia.
Can't I destroy the phone remotely? No, stories that you can are nothing more than urban legend.
Phone Goes Voicemail Before Anwering It
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
The length of time that your phone rings time is primarily a network issue, though Call Divert settings can influence it. You should be aware, however, that your network may have settings which override these settings in your phone, if this proves to be the case you should contact them sometimes they are able to increase the ring time from their end. Getting to the call divert settings may vary depending on your phone model:
Menu -> Settings -> Calling -> Call divert
Once here, the procedure should be the same for all phones: - Select Voice calls (this stage may not be present on simpler phones which support only voice calls) - Select If not answered - Select Activate - Select To voice mailbox - Choose time (between 5 and 30 seconds)
Also Check:
There are a couple of other factors that may help you to respond to your phone in time, especially if your phone spends its day in a pocket or bag or if you are often in a noisy place:
Volume - On the vast majority of Noka phones from recent years, if you have the volume set to the highest level, your it will automatically be in "Ascending mode", a safety feature which begins the tone quietly and increases the sound gradually to full volume. Setting the tone to one level below highest will retain the standard volume throughout the ringing.
Which tone? - Choosing the right tone is also key to being able to respond quickly to an incoming call. A tune that starts suddenly and loudly will be much easaier to react to than one which fades in gradually - for this reason, a typical rock tune is better than a typical classical tune.
Synchronising Contacts To New Phone
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
These days, most of us live ane die by our mobile phones - our personal and business lives revolve around them; and yet technology moves so fast that our phones become outdated and are replaced so quickly. Luckily, the days when buying a new phone means that you have to laboriously re-enter all of your precious contact numbers are long gone. There are a number of different ways that you can transfer contacts between your old and your new phone, including: SIM CARD The original and simplest way to port your contacts is via the SIM card. This system sells itself on the ease of use and the fact that it guarantees universal compatibility, but this simplicity also brings with it the inflexibility - the SIM card can hold just one name and one number per contact, and a typical limit the number of contacts it 250, so it is rapidly ending its tenure as a medium for the storage and transfer of contact information.
Advantages: Ultimate cross-device compatibility Disadvantages: Limited capacity BUSINESS CARDS VIA BLUETOOTH Bluetooth connectivity allows data to be relayed between two phones within a range of about ten metres. All Bluetooth-enabled phones can send and receive contacts as vCard files, which allows you to transfer a complete contact to another phone with ease. Using the "Mark/Unmark" feature of your Nokia device, you can also send a batch of contacts at once - the phone still makes a separate transfer per contact, but provided the two devices are paired and set to automatically accept transmissions from each other, you can set things in motion and put the kettle on whilst the phones do most of the hard work - it's as easy as Options>Send business card>Via Bluetooth. The down side is that the vCards go into the Received Files folder of an S40 phone or the Messaging inbox of a Symbian smartphone, you will need to individually save each contact transferred to your address book, so it still isn't an ideal solution for large numbers of contacts.
Advantages: Quick and easy, wide compatibility, all contact information can be transferred Disadvantages: Still laborious in the case of large numbers of contacts, bulk sending may not work correctly from a different brand of phone. DEVICE-TO-DEVICE SYNC Many Nokia phones have a Synchronisation or Switch feature which allows you to transfer personal data such as contacts between compatible devices. This is an effective method to transfer data, but unfortunately different versions used in different phones (depending on age and OS) mean that even two different Nokia devices might not be compatible for this method.
Advantages: Easy to use and almost entirely automatic Disadvantages: Not a reliable cross-platform method SERVER SYNCHRONISATION A growing feature of the mobile internet is the ability to transfer your phone's personal data with a remote server, which is not necessarily the ideal way to transfer between devices but gives the added functionality that you can recover your data wherever you are in the world as long as you have internet access through your phone, so if you lose your data (or even your entire phone) on a business trip abroad, you don't have to wait to get home to recover it. An example of a server synchronisation service can be found at www.ovi.com
Avantages: Remote storage of data means you can use anywhere Disadvantages: System still in its infancy for personal consumers PC SYNCHRONISATION Using Nokia PC Suite, N-Series PC Sutie or Ovi Suite you can synchronise your PIM (Personal Information Management) data with your PC (Outlook, Outlook Express, Vista Contacts, Lotus Notes etc.), allowing it to be subsequently transferred to another Nokia device. For Mac users, there is Apple's iSync software which does the same thing, though whilst it makes transfer between different brands of phone possible it does not guarantee compatibility with all phones from any manufacturer.
Advantages: Any PC-connectivity-enabled Nokia phone is compatibile (PC only), cross-brand support (Mac only) Disadvantages: Synchronisation software not always reliable CONTENT COPIER Using Nokia Content Copier from any of the three PC Suites mentioned above, you can copy all or a selection of personal data from your phone into a backup file that can be restored to your phone after a repair or update, or transferred to another compatible phone. This gives ultimate protection as almost all of your phone contents can be saved, but the big downside is that this method is no use to you if you are coming to Nokia from another brand. Wise users back up their phones with Content Copier regularly to ensure that nothing is lost if the phone is lost, stolen or broken. Me, I remember to do it now and again :smileywink:
Advantages: All data can be backed up, and most data can be restored to most Nokia phones Disadvantages: All of the big manufacturers have their own version, but they are not inter-compatible

Symbian acceptance restriction used to extent any apps online installed upon a dungeon phone or smartphone which used Symbian OS. It means if we need to implement unsigned applications we need to penetrate Symbian acceptance restriction. Every Symbian OS v9 (or newer) application has to be signed to be installed on the devices. If an application requires basic capabilities only, it can be signed with self-signed certificate using only your own computer. Basic capabilities include LocalServices, NetworkServices, ReadUserData, UserEnvironment and WriteUserData. Starting with S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 release (aka S60 3.2) the Location capability can also be granted to self-signed applications. The instructions below show the steps of getting a developer certificate from Symbian Signed. It can be used by the developers to sign an application during development/testing. It can be used by the end users to sign unsigned applications. The DevCertRequest tool requires a certificate and a private key to be present when generating the request. If you have a TC TrustCenter Publisher ID, you can generate a certificate (.cer) and a private key (.key) file from it.

Ridiculous, as there are no Symbian viruses for S60v5. Only S60v2's are affected also thanks in part to the encryptions used in S60v5, which the reason why it is unnecessary for S60v5 to have Anti Viruses. However, as anyone could tell you, the memory cards are vulnerable to PC viruses which at times may render files invisible. The same viruses which affect flash disks also affect memory cards since they are of the same type of flash hardware. Although of course the phone cannot be infected.
The White Screen Of Death (WSOD) Solution
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
The WSOD occurs wen the firmware boot analysis fails to verify the intergrity of memory card. This could happen due to improper plug out the memory card from computer or a laptop without terminating the active connection "Safely Remove Hardware" or force fone shutdown with taking out battery few times, these can lead to corrupted memory card.
Its same like a desktop / laptop computer, the more u improper shutdown, the problem will rise on the next start.
Its advisable to make a full backup of memory card somewhere in computer, incase of crash, the user can just format the memory card and opy back the old data.
Having an issue with your Nokia 5800XM / Nokia N97 when it simply couldn't boot up with stuck at Nokia logo and the only way out was to do hard reset. No more hard reset again say no more to losing all my data and tried playing with battery, SIM, SD/SDHC, headphones and charger random insertion and removal.
All you need is: - Nokia Nokia 5800XM / Nokia N97 - Charger
Follow these steps: 1. Turn OFF your phone. 2. Insert charger. 3. Remove charger right after screen lights up. 4. Wait a couple of seconds till screen turns off and just after that press power button. 5. After standard vibration notification just put your charger in. 6. You can insert your PIN again. 7. Done !.
Now as the standard procedure to overcome this problem read below my write ups. Fresh bought or even having data loss? Refer below tips !
Set you Windows Explorer -> File Options (Enable view all files & system files)
1. Format ure SD Card (manual DOS trick), - Goto Command Prompt and type C:\>Format <SDdriveletter> eg. Format E:
2. Or you can use Windows Explorer formatting, right click on the memory card drive letter and select format.
(Dont't ever use quick format!)
3. Wait until it finished. 4. Install ure desired apps and games and themes. 5. Defrag (not recommended) and ScanDisk ure SD Card every 1 week.
Memory card or flash memory card is solid-state electronic flash memory data storage device capable of storing digital contents. Most SD cards ship preformatted with the FAT or FAT 32 file system on top of an MBR partition scheme. The ubiquity of this file system allows the card to be accessed on virtually any host device with an SD reader. Also, standard FAT maintenance utilities (e.g. SCANDISK) can be used to repair or retrieve corrupted data. SD cards with 4 GB and smaller capacities can be used with many systems by being formatted with FAT16 (4 GB only possible by using 64 kByte clusters, and not widely supported) or FAT32 file system (common for file systems 4 GB and larger). On an SD card, this is unnecessary, as the time required to access any block is the same. Defragmenting an SD card will wear the card out slightly, as the number of writes are limited before failure occurs (usually 100 000 times).
Enjoy!
Nokia 5800XM Internal Browser Issue
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
There seems some bugs on the Nokia in-built browser to browse large sites and advanced flash based sites. Please try loading small sites.
Solution -------- 1. Close all applications running in the background. 2. Delete the contents of C:\System\cache. 3. Delete the contents of C:\System\dmgr. 4. Delete the contents of C:\System\temp.
Avoidance --------- 1. Large and slow loading sites. 2. Full flash based websites. 3. Flash based games sites.
Why? - Because, we're using smartphones and not a personal computer, the device built in browser has liitations and dont expect it to deliver what you always do on the personal computer.
Hope it makes sense, TQ

Its the same concept where people in the US are allowed to carry hand guns and in Malaysia, we cant. As an end user, we cannot view the "withheld" numbers, however the telco switching servers have the record of all "withheld" numbers activity and will only allowed to pull out upon an emergency issue. Revealing a "withheld" numbers are possible in Malaysia, however none of the telcos are permitting this activity to end-users .. otherwise it wont act as "Private" anymore.
Standard Nokia revealing number code is *#30#

PIN1, PIN2, PUK1 & PUK2
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
The PUK (Pin Unblocking Key) is used to unblock a SIM. As a security feature to avoid brute force attacks on SIMs, a SIM is blocked after three incorrect password entries in a row. Once it reaches this state, an eight-digit PUK is needed to unblock the SIM and allow it to be used on a GSM network again, although it can always be used for emergency calls, even in a blocked state.
A PUK is stored on the SIM and is known by the network operator. Although often included with documentation supplied when subscribing to a network, the PUK is generally unknown to the end user - some networks even take the step of monetising PUK codes by offering access to them as a dedicated service. If a PUK code is entered 10 times incorrectly, the SIM must be returned to the operator for reactivation.
PUK1 and PUK2 are used to unblock PIN1 and PIN2 respectively. As PIN1 is the primary means of access to a handset, blocking PIN1 will block the entire handset until PUK1 is entered. Conversely, as PIN2 only manages restriction of a small set of features, the blocking of PIN2 will still allow normal operation of all handset functions apart from those that normally need a valid PIN2, which remain locked out until the PUK2 is entered.
In general we as a user need these information on PIN1, PIN2, PUK1 & PUK2 under certain circumstances, where by:
PIN1 & PIN2 - Supplied by telco onto the SIM card itself, incase of blocked, please call the telco to acquire it. PUK1 & PUK2 - Supplied by telco itself, do call their careline / helpline to acquire these information.

Installing & Removing Hello OX - ROM Patcher
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
I think most are confused about "Hacking" a phone. Basically Hello OX will just install few system files in C:\ and install ROM Patcher to open access "READ & WRITE" for all files in C:\
After installing Hello OX2, it will prompt you to keep or to uninstall, just uninstall Hello OX2 and leave the ROM Patcher in your phone.
To hack your phone, run ROM Patcher and enable all the .RMP files, when hack activated GREEN icon will be shown.
To disable hackings, just run ROM Patcher again and disable the .RMP files located in there.
If you want to completely unhack the phone, just install Hello OX and run it again, it will prompt for "This phone already hacked, if u wan to unhack please continue .. or whatever message which reminds you there .. and Hello OX will remove ROM Patcher plus related files.
Remove Hello OX and double confirm on the memory card and remove manually E:\Patches folder completely, and your phone is now completely unhacked.
Remember, removing Hello OX may cause some installed program at the hacked period fails to run.
Thats All!
This doesn't void your warranty in any manner, however if you're not satisfied or afraid of warranty issue, simply Hard Reset the device and it will return to factory standard.

Method 1
There are times when a person gets tired of the way his/her phone’s UI looks, on most occasions the simple task of changing the theme acts as a refreshment, but those of you who seek more read on. Changing fonts on the 5800 is a simple matter of copying a folder across and restarting the phone, the process takes under 2 minutes and should you want to go back to the original fonts, that takes even lesser time. Below are a few demos of different fonts on the 5800, there is a download link at the bottom of each set should you decide to try the font on your own device. Click on the screenshots to enlarge.
Procedure To Apply New Fonts - Connect the phone in the ‘Mass Storage’ profile to the computer. Alternatively, you can use the memory card reader. - Goto the Memory Card, it shows up as a Removable Disk in ‘My Computer’. (Windows) - Navigate to the ‘resource’ folder and open it. - Copy the ‘Fonts’ folder into in. (Download links to Sample folders below) - Eject the device and restart. - You should see the new fonts applied.
Procedure To Use Own Fonts (*.TTF) - Make 4 copies of the font you desire to use and place them in a folder labeled ‘Fonts’. - Name them exactly as:
s60snr.ttf s60ssb.ttf s60tsb.ttf S60ZDIGI.ttf
- Copy this folder to the ‘resource\fonts’ directory on the memory card and restart the device.
Reverting To Original Font - Connect the phone in the ‘Mass Storage’ profile to the computer. Alternatively, you can use the memory card reader. - Goto the Memory Card, it shows up as a Removable Disk in ‘My Computer’. (Windows) - Navigate to the ‘resource’ folder and open it. - Delete the folder labeled ‘Fonts’. Alternatively you can choose to rename it to ‘Fonts2 or anything that you like. - Restart the phone, the originals should have been restored.
In case something goes wrong e.g. the characters are not displayed and so on, simply turn off the device, remove the microSD and start the phone. (You can delete the Fonts folder subsequently) Since we are using the removable microSD to experiment this process cannot damage your phone. Also, while choosing a font do keep in mind the fact that it will affect the font of the Web Browser also, so please keep something readable. E.g. The second font in the above list, looks ‘cool’ but will make web browsing a pain. Method 2
Some requirements: - A file manager for S60v5 (X-Plore recommended) - Your own ".ttf" fonts collection. - Your relaxed free time.
Here is the step to change your Nokia 5800 font: 1. Open X-Plore, go to configuration menu and tick show hidden files and system folders option. 2. Go to z:/resource/fonts folder 3. Write down all file names on that folder, as for v31 is
- S60SC.ccc - S60TCHK.ccc - S60ZDIGI.ttf
3. Make three copy of your font and rename it (example: arial.ttf to S60SC.ccc, S60TCHK.ccc and S60ZDIGI.ttf). 4. Connect your phone to your computer. 5. Go to E:\resource (memory card) and make a new folder called Fonts. 6. Send all your fonts to that new folder (it must be e:/resource/fonts/S60SC.ccc, S60TCHK.ccc and S60ZDIGI.ttf). 7. Restart and you have the font changed!
Step to delete a custom font and revert to default font: 1. Connect your phone or memory card to your computer. 2. Go to e:/resource (memory card) and delete a folder called Fonts. 3. Restart and you have the font changed back to default one!
Its is not guaranteed this works or not, personally I never tested it because the fonts filenaming convention differs according to firmware versions.
Merge Custom Font With Chinese Language Support Nokia 5800XM
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
What do you need?
1. You custom font. For this example we will be using Eras Medium ITC. 2. You need the original Nokia 5800 fonts. 3. You need a font editor. For this example we will be using High Logic Font Creator.
The idea is pretty simple actually which is to copy over the custom font and overwrite into the original font but to keep the chinese fonts intact.
The first step is to open both your font files. Firstly we open the ERASMD.ttf and S60SC_C.ttf. Then what you do is basically click on any of the characters in your custom font (in this situation is ERASMD.ttf) then select all (Ctrl-A) and go to Edit > Copy user posted image Then go to your original font file (S60SC_C.ttf) and paste the file. Take notice, you need to scroll down and select the comma, then go to Edit > Paste Special. The comma can be found right after this wiggly looking underscore. I will explain why the comma at the end of the tutorial.
Next you will prompted with a small window. Be sure to check Glyph Mappings and select Overrule Same Mappings. What this means is basically for the ABC and 123 fonts, it will overwrite the old font so that the new custom font will take over. Then just hit OK. Give it some time to process. user posted image The final step is to save the file. Go to File > Save As and save with the same name (S60SC_C.ttf) into your newly created Fonts Folder.
Repeat the same steps from the begining and merge your custom font with the other font file (S60TCHK_C.ttf). The reason for this is because actually S60SC_C.ttf and S60TCHK_C.ttf may look almost the same file but they contain some different characters in each.
So if you want to use it for your Nokia 5800, repeat this tutorial two times with the respective files. As for the last file (S60ZDIGI.ttf), just use back the original file because this file does not really contain any alphabets and it is okay to use back the original one. Why do I need this tutorial again? Basically for those who want to merge their custom font to enable Chinese/Japanese/Russian character support on their Nokia 5800 (or any other phones for that matter)
Why copy from the custom font to the original and not the other way around? Because the original file has about 30,000 glyphs (characters) and if you copy it over the software will crash.
Why do I need to start pasting only after the ‘comma’? Because if you paste any earlier than that, it might overwrite the special wingding characters such as the ‘arrows’ and the ‘circle with dot’etc.
I don’t have High Logic Font Creator, where can I download it? Well you have to purchase it from the link given at the begining of the tutorial. It costs USD$79 for the Home Edition and USD$149 for the Professional Edition.

Prepaid User's Credit Draining Issue
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Unfortunately, this is caused by the end-user themselves. This issue can be override by doing some settings on the phone. The issue involves data usage without the user's concern, If u have noticed, the device and some applications will warn the users regarding Data / Call / SMS use permission, and most of the users are actually lack of read and understand these messages.
1. Remove the STREAMING profile permanently by deleting the setting from telco. 2. In the INTERNET section remove all the telco settings. 3. In the MULTIMEDIA section remove all the telco settings except the one applicable for you, as in my case my SIM card is 3G, so I just keep my CELCOM 3G MMS only and delete permanently the rest of it. 4. In the WAP SERVICES section remove all the telco settings except the one applicable for you, as in my case my SIM card is 3G, so I just keep my CELCOM 3G WAP only and delete permanently the rest of it.
The reason you are deleting the unwanted settings is a special cause which you will overcome the credit drain issue.

Installing .DM Files From OVI Store via Offline
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Here is a tutorial on how to install .DM protected theme files for the Nokia phones. These files are files packaged with Nokia's DRM (Digital Rights Management) and we use this to protect our work from being edited. Many people keep asking me how to install files in .DM and are having difficulties installing these files but it is quite easy. If you are experiencing problems just don't do the following things:
- Do not change .DM to any other extensions, it's pointless it won't work. - Do not unzip it, since you cannot open them in WinZip or WinRAR or compression tools. - These .DM files are locked permanently, which means you can't edit them.
The only way to install .DM files, is via Bluetooth from another phone and receive (immediately choose INSTALL) upon receive.
Make Nokia 5800 XpressMusic's Battery Last As Long As Possible
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
The battery is charging when the battery icon's bar chart (in the top right corner of the screen) is animated. When the battery is full, the bar chart is full and has stopped moving. If you want to make sure the battery is full, wait for the animation to stop moving before you disconnect the charger. The whole charging process on an empty battery may take a couple of hours, but this can vary tremendously depending on what kind of charger you use. The higher the charger's "mA" rating, the quicker it will charge the battery. Different Nokia chargers have different mA ratings, which are visible on an engraved panel below the prongs. Incidentally, you do not need to empty the battery before charging. Modern lithium phone batteries can be recharged however full they are. Money-saving, tree-hugging hint: Disconnect the charger from the mains wall socket when not in use. Chargers which are left plugged in use a small amount of electricity which will cost you money and cause needless damage to the environment. This applies to all electronic appliances, unplug them when you don't need them.
Do NOT switch the phone off! We're often told to turn lights off to save energy, but this advice does not work on mobile phones. In fact, although it sounds crazy, your phone's battery charge will last longer if you DON'T turn it off! The reason for this is that devices like the 5800 are actually pocket-sized computers with a phone built into them, which is why they're often called "smartphones". Just like PCs, smartphones take a while to boot up, and this booting process involves lots of intensive computing tasks that help to get the phone ready for use. Switching a phone on actually uses far more battery power than simply leaving the phone on, and of course if you switch the phone off you will have to switch it back on again at some point. If you switch a phone on and off lots of times, it will use up the battery very quickly, because you're asking it to boot up lots of times. Your battery will last a LOT longer if you just leave the phone on all the time, and charge it while it's still on. A fully-charged 5800 can stay switched on in standby mode for up to two weeks, because in standby mode with the screen switched off it doesn't have to do much except wait for calls or commands. You don't need to do anything special to put the 5800 into standby mode, it is automatically in standby when it isn't being used. There is no real need to ever switch a mobile phone off, unless something has gone wrong with it and you want to try rebooting it.
Shutdown Unnecessary Applications The 5800 is an S60 smartphone, and can run several applications at once (for example you can listen to music while surfing the web and receiving instant messages). However, the more applications you run at once, the quicker the battery will be drained, so it's a good idea to shut down any applications you don't need. You can see all the current running applications by doing the following, hold down the white menu button for a few seconds (you can let go of the button once the Open Applications menu appears). Select an icon in the Open Apps menu to go to that application, and exit the app from its own options menu to shut it down. Alternatively, most apps can be shut down by going to them and pressing the red button below the screen. The fewer apps that run simultaneously, the longer the battery will last. Running fewer apps simultaneously will also make the phone run faster overall, because it has less to do at once.
Turn Down The Screen Brightness To Lowest Acceptable Level One of the biggest battery drains on portable devices is the screen's lighting system, which is why mobile device screens usually dim themselves when they're not in use. You can make your phone's battery last longer if you turn down the screen's brightness to the lowest level that you're okay with. Here's how to do it on the 5800, press the white menu button, select "Settings", select "Phone", select "Display", select "Light Sensor", then adjust the slider towards "Minimum" to dim the display. Use the lowest setting that feels comfortable. When you've finished, select "OK", then press the red button to go back to the front page. When you're not using the 5800 it's a good idea to lock the screen, partly because it stops the screen being touched by mistake, but also because it switches the screen off too. The phone itself carries on running, but the screen being off will make the battery last a lot longer. You can lock the screen manually by flicking the "keyguard switch", which is in the middle of the right side of the phone. You can unlock the screen by flicking the same switch again. (Don't worry about the switch returning back to its original position, it's meant to do that.) In case you forget to do it manually, you can make the screen dim automatically when it isn't being used. Here's how to set the screen auto switch-off period, press the white menu button, select "Settings", select "Phone", select "Display", select "Light Time-Out", then move the slider to the quickest setting that you feel comfortable with. When you've finished, select "OK", then press the red button to go back to the front page. Alternatively, you can set the screen lock to go on automatically (which dims the screen as well as locking it), press the white menu button, select "Settings", select "Phone Management", select "Auto Keyguard", select "Keypad Autolock Period", select "User Defined", then enter how long you want the phone to wait before locking the screen, select "OK", then press the red button to go back to the front page.
Use Headphones Instead Of Speakers If you listen to music on the 5800's built-in speakers you will use the battery up more quickly than if you listen through headphones. Headphones are inside your ear so they use much less power to deliver the same intensity of sound, whereas speakers have to get the sound to your ear over a much longer distance.
Avoid Using Camera Flash Unnecessarily In some situations (such as a dark room) you need to use the 5800's camera flash in order to get a decent picture, and in other situations (such as being outdoors on a bright day) the camera will automatically switch the flash off when taking pictures. However, there are many situations which fall between these two extremes, where the 5800's camera will automatically use the flash, but where you could get a reasonable photo without it. In those circumstances you may want to switch the flash off because it's using up the battery unnecessarily. To switch the 5800's flash off completely, press the camera button on the right side of the phone, select the flash icon (by default it's "A" for Automatic), double-click on "Off", then take the picture with the camera button. You can choose the other flash modes (On, Auto, Red Eye Reduction) using the same process.
Turn Off Screen Touch Vibrations Touch Screen vibration motor disable will save some battery usage too, to disable press the white menu button, select "Settings", select "Personal", select "Profiles", select "General" (or whatever profile you normally use), select "Personalise", select "Touch Screen Vibration", select "Off". Press the red button to get back to the front page.
Use 2G instead of 3G The 5800 can use both 2G and 3G phone networks. The advantage of 3G is a very high speed of internet access, the latest 3G networks have a technology called 3.5G HSDPA which lets you use speeds up to many megabits, comparable to PC broadband connections at home. The disadvantage of 3G networks is that they use up a phone's battery more quickly during calls. The most popular kind of 2G network is called GSM, and the most popular kind of 3G network is called UMTS, and is also known as WCDMA. The 5800 uses GSM for 2G and UMTS/WCDMA for 3G. (Incidentally, there's also a 2G network called CDMA but this is nothing to do with UMTS/WCDMA.) By default the 5800 uses 3G networks, but automatically switches to 2G when there is no 3G network available in your current location. If you don't need high speed internet access, try switching your phone into 2G-only mode in order to save battery life during phone calls. Here's how to do it on the 5800: Press the white menu button, select "Settings", select "Connectivity", select "Network", select "Network Mode", select "GSM", select "OK", then press the red button to go back to the front page. If you want to go back to automatically selecting 3G networks when available, repeat the above process but select "Dual Mode" instead of GSM. If you want to use the internet remember to do switch back to Dual Mode, otherwise your 5800 will be stuck in 2G mode which means a very slow internet connection.
Try To Get Good Signal The better the signal on your phone, the easier it is for the phone to connect to a base station (aka phone mast or phone tower). The easier it is to connect to a base station, the less power a phone uses during calls. By making sure you have a good signal during calls, texts or internet use, you can make the phone's battery last longer. You can see the current strength of the phone's signal in the top left corner of the screen, and below it it should say "3G", "3.5G" or display an aerial logo in 2G networks. The higher the bar, the better the signal, and the longer your phone's battery will last when connected to the base station. You can get a better signal by being out in the open, or if you're indoors try to be near windows. The best signals are when you're as near as possible to a base station, with a clear line of sight. Modern phones are able to connect even when they're deep inside buildings, but this requires more power which uses up the batteries more quickly.
Use Offline Mode (aka Flight Mode) If you're using your 5800 just for offline things like listening to music or watching a video, and you don't need to take any calls on it, you might want to switch it into Offline mode (also known as Flight mode). Offline mode means that the phone switches off anything which involves radio transmissions, such as phone calls, text messages, internet connections, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. This is often required on aircraft, in certain hospitals and on building sites with explosives, due to fears about radio interference (the aircraft requirement is why it's also known as Flight mode). Going into Offline mode switches off all of the phone's current connections. You can manually switch on Wi-Fi in Offline mode, but the phone will first remind you that you're in Offline mode and ask you for permission for each connection. If you've been told by someone to stop radio transmissions, don't allow such connections. Offline mode saves a certain amount of battery life as the phone no longer has to use its radio transmitters, but it does mean that the phone cannot send or receive any calls or texts. (The one exception is an emergency number such as 112 in Europe, 999 in the UK or 911 in the US, all phones can contact emergency numbers in all circumstances, even without a SIM card.) It's also worth noting that Offline mode doesn't actually save that much battery life, as modern wireless devices are very good at making connections and then keeping them open with as little power as possible. Using connections uses up battery life, but simply having connections open doesn't use that much power. To put the 5800 into Offline mode, On the phone's front page (aka its standby screen), click on the date at the top of the screen. From the drop-down menu, select "Offline", then select "Yes" if necessary. The signal bar will turn into an "X" to show that the phone is no longer connected to the phone network, and all other wireless connections will also be broken. To put the phone back into normal mode, click on the front page's date again and select "General", then select "Yes" if necessary. (You can also use this menu to select other profiles if you prefer, profiles can be customised by pressing the white menu button, then "Settings", then "Personal", then "Profiles".)
Certificate Error Notification - General Explanations
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Message - Certificate error. Contact the application supplier. Explanation - You may have tried installing unsigned application. Note that signing is mandatory S60 3rd Edition. You can use self-signed certificate or developer certificate from Symbian Signed to sign your application.
Message - Unable to install. Constrained by the certificate. Explanation - This message pops up when you attempt to install developer certificate in the unsupported device. The developer certificate from Symbian Signed can only be used in a limited number of devices. Remember that you have to send your IMEIs to Symbian Signed when requesting certificate. You cannot use the certificate in other devices that is not in your IMEIs list.
Message - Required application access not granted. Explanation - Check that your certificate can be used to sign all capabilities needed by your application. For example, if you use self-signed certificate, you can only sign basic set capabilities, i.e. NetworkServices, ReadUserData, WriteUserData, LocalServices and UserEnvironment. If your application requires one of the extended capabilities, for example SwEvent, you cannot sign it with self-signed certificate. In this case, apply for developer certificates from Symbian Signed.
Message - Unable to install a protected application from an untrusted supplier. Explanation - If you use self-signed certificate, make sure that your application uses unprotected UID, i.e. 0xA0000000 - 0xAFFFFFFF. If you use protected UID (0?20000000 - 0?2FFFFFFF) or legacy UID (0?10000000 - 0?1FFFFFFF), you will get this message.
Message - Unable to install. Explanation - This message may come up when your installation file (.sis/.sisx) copies files to other application?s private folder, i.e. \private\uid. Note that Symbian 9 introduces data caging concept, it means you dont have access to other applications private folder.
Message - Expired Certificate Explanation - Do this? Set the phone date back by 1 year or 5-6 months.
Message - Update error Explanation - Uninstall any previous version of the application, then switch on/off the phone and install again.
Get yourself a Symbian signed certificate both CER & KEY.

There is a question that people always questioned on the forum and another sites. The problem that appears to be common to all s60 3rd devices. The topic is how to removed themes from your device? Mostly they removed it using Application Manager, for example N80IE, and on newer firmware for other devices. Don’t worry, as long as you install your themes to your memory card there is an easy way to remove those unwanted themes. Here is some steps to guide you.
1. Connect your device to your PC in ‘Mass storage’ mode - or insert your MiniSD card into a card reader and connect it to your PC.
2. Once your PC recognizes your card a new drive will appear under ‘My Computer’. Open it, and browse to \Private\10207114\import.
3. Browse through each of the folders in this directory to find the theme you would like to remove. The MBM, MIF, and SKN files in each folder should each be named after the theme - so if you want to remove a theme called My Theme, look for MyTheme.mbm etc. You may see some MBM/MIF/SKN files named simply themepackage.mbm etc. In this case, simply open the SKN file in Notepad and you will see the actual theme name in the first few lines of text.
4. Once you’ve found the folder containing the theme files you’d like to remove, simply delete the contents of the folder (don’t delete the folder itself). Now put your card back in your phone you’ll notice that the theme is no longer listed under themes and you’ve freed up some space on your memory card. In newer devices, theme folders/files are located in two different directories [!:\private\10207114\import] and [!:\resource\skins] - delete the like-named folders from each directory to remove themes.

Lots of people come to the boards asking how to remotely prevent their phones being used because they are lost or stolen. Sorry, You Can't! What should I do?
What you need to do is report the loss/theft to the police and to your network operator immediately that you know of the problem - your operator can then deactivate the SIM so that whoever has your phone can't make any calls on your account. Depending on which country you are in, your operator could also add your phone's IMEI to a blacklist shared with other networks - this will prevent the phone being used on networks in that country and is the most effective way to thwart thieves and those who buy stolen goods from thieves. How do I protect my data in case of loss/theft?
You can lock your phone with the security keyguard, this will then kick in after a pre-set number of minutes, requiring the security code (sometimes called the lock code) to be entered in order to access the phone.
If you intend to protect your phone data this way, there are two important things to remember. The first is to change the code from the standard 12345, which virtually everybody knows, and the second is not to forget your code, because if you do you will need to visit your local Nokia service point to clear the code - a process which will also wipe your data.
However, the real truth is that unless you are Barack Obama, Madonna or somebody equally high-profile, the average thief doesn't care for your data. The common thief is after the hardware - the phone would be sold on and in use by somebody else, your data would be wiped. The best security for your phone itself is to keep it secure.
Can I lock the phone remotely?
Only if you are prepared for this eventuality in advance. Some phones such as the N96 have a Remote Phone Locking facility which you can activate in the security settings which will lock the phone when it receives a pre-set message. On other S60 smartphones, you may be able to install third-party software to achieve the same thing. All of this, of course, relies on your phone being able to receive the security message, which means that it must be switched on and your SIM card to still be in. Can my phone be tracked?
Practically, no. If your SIM card is in and the phone switched on, your network operator knows roughly where it is by the base station (mast) that it is closest to, but this is not something that is available to the end user and it only gives an approximate location anyway.
Some people ask why their phone can't be tracked by GPS. The reason is that GPS-equipped phones have GPS receivers only, they receive signals from GPS satellites in order to work out the coordinates of the phone's location on the Earth's surface - the phone is not in any way broadcasting its location for the GPS system or any other system to follow. Can't I destroy the phone remotely? No, stories that you can are nothing more than urban legend.

If you set your phone free you can read your memory card password from a file on your internal phone memory. Your memory card password is stored in C:\sys\data\mmcstore (this folder only exists if you've set a memory card password).
First - You need to hack your phone. Phone can't see the hidden folder.
Second - Open X-Plore / Y-Browser file browser - Go to C:\<phone memory> then find SYS folder - Find next data folder, search the file name "mmcstore" - Your MMC password located at here C:\sys\data\mmcstore\
After that, copy the "mmcstore" file to other directory on "E:\" and rename them to "mmcstore.txt".
Now open this file, you'l now get to see your memory card password ! Screenshot
If your password has numbers or other strange characters, there may be question marks in between them. Just ignore those question marks. If you open the file in Notepad on a computer with Windows, there will be spaces in between the characters of your password.

Home Screen Icons Not Working (Hacked Phone Only!)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Method 1 Problem: This is the problem I have and any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Well, the problem is on the home screen (desktop) of my phone none of the icons are working. When I select the "Shortcuts Bar" as the homescreen theme, the phone does not display any of the shortcuts on the home screen. When I touch the locations where the shortcuts would be (on the homescreen) I can see the hit area getting highlighted, but nothing happens (also none of the shortcut icons are shown either). Further, the "phonebook" and the "dialler" icons at the botton of the screen don't work either, when I "touch" them (atleast the two icons can be seen here, but nothing happens), plus pressing the "green" hard key does not bring up the dialler screen as well. I tried everything I could think of, such as stripping out all themes and even tried a factory reset, but none of these did any good. Everything else works fine on the phone (including the contacts bar on the home screen) and the phone has 40+ mb free (C drive). So, I'm pretty much clueless as to what might be wrong here.
Solution: To those have missing icons on your shortcut bar, you can recover it back without hard reseting your 5800. Just direct to c:\private\10202BE9\persists\ and delete 10275102.cre and restart. Your 5800 should hang in the blank homescreen. this is because it is recreating the deleted file which may be corrupted. Later a while, your homescreen shortcut should reappear and working fine. Well, this only happen if hack is installed.

When shopping for memory cards, we tend to compare cards by the X speed, such as 80X, 150X, etc. But what are we measuring? The X speed is how much information the card can accept per second, also known as the write speed. A card that can accept more information per second when compared to another is referred to as being a fastercard. X is the baseline equal to a card accepting 150KB in one second.
- 1X = 150KB per second - 10X = 1.5MB per second - 50X = 7.5MB per second - 80X = 12MB per second - 150X = 22.5MB per second - 300X = 45MB per second
Faster cards can accept more megabytes of information per second. But just how much of an advantage is a faster card? With some cameras, there isn’t much advantage to using a faster card, while others will benefit from the high speed.
Cameras don’t capture an image and then immediately write the file to the card. Instead, the image file goes to a camera’s internal storage memory first; this memory is called a buffer. The buffer then feeds data into the memory card at a steady pace. Often a camera’s buffer is large enough to hold a significant number of image files, waiting to be saved to the memory card. Once the buffer begins to fill up, the camera slows down considerably.
The buffer is writing to the memory card at a speed that is limited by the camera design. If a camera is designed to write at a maximum 80X speed (12MB per second), the speed won’t be increased by using a memory card that’s rated at 150X. But there certainly isn’t any harm done to the camera or card by using a card that’s faster than the camera can write either. Memory Cards for Video Clips
There is an advantage to using a faster card in a compact camera for capturing movies. Each movie frame is very small, usually less than 1/3 megabyte for silent video, slightly more for sound video. Most compact cameras capture movie frames at the rate of 15 or 30 frames per second. At the higher quality 30 fps rate this means the camera is capturing roughly 10MB of information per second. If the camera is not equipped with a card rated at 80X or higher, the internal buffer will soon fill up and stop the camera from capturing video. Because sound is also captured which increases the overall file size, manufacturers often recommend cards that are even faster than 80X. What About SDHC Cards?
Secure Digital High Capacity cards are a large capacity variation of the Secure Digital card format and are physically the same size and shape. SDHC cards are available in 4GB and larger capacities and use speed class numbers to indicate the minimum write speeds, instead of the X ratings. In order to use SDHC cards, the camera must be designed for this format and most cameras produced in 2007 accept them. SDHC cameras, card readers and other devices are backward compatible and will also accept SD cards.
The Secure Digital Association (SDA) defines three speed classes in order to let users identify speed and performance capabilities of SDHC cards and the host products. The speed class rating specifies a MINIMUM sustained write speed for SDHC cards.
- Class 2 = 2MB per second - Class 4 = 4MB per second - Class 6 = 6MB per second
The word "minimum" is the clincher. If a card writes at 3.99999 MB/sec it’s still a class 2 card. What’s the Best Card Speed to Buy?
To get the best match of speed and performance, check your device manual for recommendations. In particular, look for the maximum card size your device will accept. Check for speed recommendations so the card you buy will keep up with the device’s write speed when recording video and other high-demand applications running and storage.

(Dont't ever usequick format!)
3. Wait until it finished. 4. Install ure desired apps and games and themes. 5. Defrag (not recommended) and ScanDisk ure SD Card every 1 week.
Memory card or flash memory card is solid-state electronic flash memory data storage device capable of storing digital contents. Most SD cards ship preformatted with the FAT or FAT 32 file system on top of an MBR partition scheme. The ubiquity of this file system allows the card to be accessed on virtually any host device with an SD reader. Also, standard FAT maintenance utilities (e.g. SCANDISK) can be used to repair or retrieve corrupted data. SD cards with 4 GB and smaller capacities can be used with many systems by being formatted with FAT16 (4 GB only possible by using 64 kByte clusters, and not widely supported) or FAT32 file system (common for file systems 4 GB and larger). On an SD card, this is unnecessary, as the time required to access any block is the same. Defragmenting an SD card will wear the card out slightly, as the number of writes are limited before failure occurs (usually 100 000 times).
This tips will maintain your SD Card in top shape everytime !

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
GPS means The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) developed by the United States Department of Defense and managed by the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing. It is the only fully functional GNSS in the world, can be used freely, and is often used by civilians for navigation purposes. It uses a constellation of between 24 and 32 Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, which allow GPS receivers to determine their current location, the time, and their velocity. Its official name is NAVSTAR GPS. Although NAVSTAR is not an acronym, a few backronyms have been created for it.
Since it became fully operational in 1993, GPS has become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, scientific uses, and hobbies such as geocaching. Also, the precise time reference is used in many applications including the scientific study of earthquakes. GPS is also a required key synchronization resource of cellular networks, such as the Qualcomm CDMA air interface used by many wireless carriers in a multitude of countries There are some charges for using a-gps like user posted image A-GPS means Assisted GPS, generally abbreviated as A-GPS, enhances the startup performance of a GPS satellite-based positioning system. It is used extensively with GPS-capable cellular phones as its development was accelerated by the U.S. FCC's 911 mandate making the location of a cell phone available to emergency call dispatchers.
Lock with GPS only = 1 minute up to 15 minutes (depends on coverage area too) FREE Lock GPS with A-GPS = 3 seconds to 1 minute (depends on coverage area too) chargeable of RM0.10 cents per connect.

- Restart ur device. On boot up the device will look in C:\resource\apps for the Startup.mbm and C:\system\sounds
In the attachment you will find a startup animation file and vista start up sound you can find more start up animation and sound files from internet.
Nokia 5800XM Act As Computer Modem
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
If you have 3.5G service in your area, the 5800XM will give you a downlink speed of up to 3.6mbps. You can use it to connect your laptop / pc either by bluetooth or by USB cable CA-101. The cable is provided in the box with the phone and offers faster speeds than a bluetooth connection can give you.
Connecting your PC to the internet is easy with your compatible Nokia 5800XM. You'll need a data connection (such as GPRS or HSDPA),a USB cable(comes with your Nokia) or a Bluetooth-enabled PC, and a network subscription with your mobile service provider for data conection.
1. First, you'll need to set up your device to act as a modem.
To set up your device you'll need to know your operator's Access Point Name (APN) and have the packet data service enabled. For help with this please contact your operator.
2. On your device locate and open the Settings application.
This is normally in the Tools folder. In Settings select and open Connection.
3. In Settings select and open Connection. 4. Select and open Packet data. 5. Select and open Access point. 6. Type in your operator's Access Point Name. 7. Press Back 8. Exit Settings. Your device is now ready to be used as a modem for your PC
Then, you'll need to connect your Nokia device and your PC in order to access the internet. You can use a USB cable for the connection, or connect wirelessly through Bluetooth.
If data transfers via USB data cable are supported for your Nokia device, you may connect the device to your PC via USB cable. On your Nokia device, choose PC Suite mode when it asks how to connect. Use your connect to internet option from your pc suite and you are ready to go.
Get Rid Of The Flashing Envelope Icon On Nokia 5800XM
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
If you've just put your SIM card in your Nokia 5800, you may have noticed a flashing envelope icon at the top of the screen. This icon indicates that the SIM card's own text message storage is full. This doesn't actually cause problems on the 5800 because it stores its messages in the phone's own memory, but the envelope can look a bit annoying.
To get rid of the flashing envelope: 1. On the standby screen press the white menu button. 2. Select "Messaging" 3. Select "Options" 4. Select "SIM Messages" 5. Delete some or all of the messages from the SIM messages folder using the Options menu.
This should make the flashing envelope go away. You only have to do this once because when the SIM card is emptied it won't fill any more, as the 5800 does not store messages on SIM cards.
But why does the envelope appear in the first place?
The phone uses internal memory intead of the SIM card's memory. However, SIM card memory is very limited and gets full quite quickly. If a phone relies on the SIM card for storage and the SIM card is full, then it can no longer receive messages. The 5800 does NOT use SIM cards for message storage, so it doesn't actually make any practical difference whether the SIM card is full or not. However, the flashing envelope icon will still appear if the SIM card is full just to let you know about it.
Nokia 5800XM Alarm Synchronise Error & Not Accurate
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
The issue seems to be a software problem in v31, a number of users have reported it. Some regular users of the 5800XM have noted that changing it to at least 10 minutes can make a difference, some others have had to make a couple of changes for anything to take effect, also try to turn off the automatic time updates feature. We shall wait until Nokia rectifies this matter in future firmware.
Meanwhile there are some solution till Nokia fix this up ..
Example: - To get up at 7.30am, i set 2 alarms:
1. Set alarm at 7.00am trigger "Workdays" Snooze "13mins" 2. Set alarm at 7.15am trigger "Workdays" Snooze "13mins"

Incoming Caller ID (Name) Not Functioning
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
The main reasons are:
1. Duplicate entries in contacts, the most common cause and unfortunately. The most awkward one to fix. If the phone finds the same number against more than one name, it doesn't know which to use so, perfectly sensibly, it defaults to showing the number. The only way to fix this is to remove duplicates from your contacts. Best way to do this would probably be PC Suite Contacts. When you search, use part of the number to avoid problems with formatting, searching for +60123456789 will not find +60 12 3456789, whereas searching for 789 would.
2. Using your international dial code instead of '+'. Not sure if this applies to all phones, but if you store your number using your county's international dial code (eg: 004412345678990 - WRONG) instead of the '+' sign (+4412345678990 - RIGHT), it can cause problems.
3. "(0)" area code prefixes. Only a problem if you synch with MS Outlook / PC Suite. When you specify a country in MS Outlook / PC Suite, it will insert "(0)" into your phone number after the country code +603123456789 becomes +60 (03) 23456789. You need to remove the (0).
4. 9 and 10 digit numbers. There has been one report of problems with 9 and 10 digit numbers where one size doesn't work with SMS and the other with calls. Not sure that anyone else has ever come across this.
5. Move all contacts from SIM Card to Phone Memory
Recovering A Failed Firmware Update
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Occasionally things go wrong when using the Nokia Software Updater (NSU). The exact cause is often unknown but it can be caused by the NSU, the phone or even the computer itself. The aim of this guide is to offer users a few tips and tricks that may aid recovery. The guide applies to most nokia phones, except the hard reset which only applies to S60 smartphones. So how do you know if an update has failed?
A failure can show itself in a number of ways, the most common one is where the NSU freezes. If it does this during the first part of the process where it downloads the firmware from nokia your phone will be ok. You will see that your phone is still switched on so it's safe to cancel the process or just remove the cable from the phone. If it freezes during the second phase when the computer is transferring the firmware to the phone this can be much more serious. When this happens leave your phone for at least 15 minutes before taking any further action. If after that time nothing has happened all you can do is pull the cable. Another failure is where your computer crashes during the second phase. This is usually the worst type of failure and often leaves the phone unrecoverable, but still it's worth trying. What can I do to recover from this failure?
The first thing to try is to remove the phones battery and leave it out for at least five minutes. Whilst doing this take the opportunity to reboot your computer in case you need it to help with recovery. Now re-insert the battery and try to switch your phone back on. If it works then all is good but before trying to update again there is a few things you need to check. Make sure that your computer is fully up to date including the latest service pack and disable all non-essential programs that are running. Also disable any anti virus and anti spyware software that you may have, now try again. If removing the battery failed to make it work then prepare your computer as mentioned above and run the NSU again. Follow all instructions and prompts that it gives you carefully as it may offer to recover your phone. If it doesn't try various combinations of connecting your phone whilst it's switched on, off and also try removing and reinserting the battery whilst it's connected. Make sure you wait in between each attempt to give the NSU time to detect the phone. What if that method doesn't work?
The next thing to try is a hard reset. This method only applies to S60 smartphones with keypads (not touchscreens):
1. Switch off the phone. 2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button. 3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone. 4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
It may take a few attempts and very flexible fingers. So none of that worked, what happens next?
Unfortunately you have now tried everything possible to recover from the failure yourself. The last thing for you to do now is to contact a nokia care point in your country for help. If your phone is under warranty they will repair it for free, possibly while you wait. You can find your nearest care point at:

It sometimes happens when you try to connect to the internet using you Nokia 5800, you see error message NO GATEWAY REPLY on you screen. The common perception among people is that this error message caused by a WiFi problem or bugs on your 5800. But you should know that error message is not caused by those reasons. Let me show you that the main reason of that problem can be the disable DHCP on your router so the phone can not dynamically reach an IP. Then you can set your router easily. You just need to give manually your 5800 the DNS server and IP address. You will not need the DHCP for doing that.
So the detail steps are:
1. Press the menu button. 2. Settings>connectivity>destinations. 3. Select your access point then add the new access point. 4. Select yes while it asks for AUTOMATICALLY CHECK FOR AVAILABLE ACCESS POINTS 5. Select the suitable WLAN network (choose one with known wep key). 6. Select no if it asks to CONFIGURE NOW. 7. Enter you WEP key. 8. Go to the internet (in destinations) then select you WLAN network. 9. Highlight the WLAN (data bearer) option then go to the advance settings.
10. Select ipv4 then enter these following values: - Phone ip: 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 (range) - Subnet mask - Default gateway: this one is you router’s address (commonly 192.168.1.1) - DNS address 202.188.0.133 and 202.188.1.5 (You can choose DNS address that provided by you ISP)
11. Now finally you can access easily you WLAN network, Menu -> Settings -> Connectivity -> WLAN.
Playing N-Gage Games In Nokia 5800XM
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
After gathering information from various sources I have finally managed to compile a decent guide to install NGage on the Nokia 5800XM using the files which have been circulating the web for the past week.
If you have any questions please PM me on the forum or reply to the topic and I will try my best to help. Installing NGage:
Step 2 For this to correctly work, you will need to have your phone hacked, this should be no problem providing you have a little confidence and common sense. I can confirm that using HelloOX does work as it is the method I used and I can use NGage fine. If you're phone is already hacked with HelloOX and you're having trouble, ensure that all patches (open4all etc. are applied and set to auto using ROMPatcher.
Step 3 Copy the file "NGage 2.0 Installer.sis" to your phone and install it. You will need to sign the file using SignSIS GUI or a similar application, you should already have a certificate if you have hacked your phone as you need to sign HelloOX to hack successfully. The install process will take quite some time and you will be prompted to press "Yes" to various warnings. I can confirm that no harm has come to my phone from this process, however, proceed at your own risk. I take no responsibility.
Step 4 Once NGage has been installed, you will be able to find it under "Applications" on your phone. The icon will be an orange "N" and it will say "Games" underneath. To play NGage games they must be copied to "E:\N-Gage" with "E:\" being your memory card.
Controlling NGage: Since NGage is designed for phones with a keypad, and the Nokia 5800 is almost completely touchscreen, the controls must be customized. I have so far come up with two solutions, they are as follows.
Control Method #1 This is the most stable and easy to configure control scheme, I can confirm this works OK.
Step 1. Sign and install "Virtual Keyboard.sis" which can be found in the "Control Method #1" folder of the Install Package.
Step 2. Run the virtual keyboard application from your "Applications" menu and then start the NGage application. You can use the Virtual Keyboard to control your games.
Control Method #2 This control scheme is still a work in progress but, with some fiddling and a varying degree of luck, you may be able to get it to work. Some people have confirmed it working with different settings. I feel that this setup, if working correctly, would be the best way to control NGage on a Nokia 5800. I would like to request feedback from anyone who has this method working!
Step 1 Sign and install "Virtual Keyboard.sis" and then "Virtual Key.sis", both of which can be found in the "Control Method #2" folder of the Install Package.
Step 2 Start up "Virtual Keyboard" so that you have it running on screen and then proceed to start up "Virtual Key".
Step 3 In the Virtual Key application, choose "Options" then "Load Mode" and choose "Custom Mode 1".
Step 4 Press "Options" then "Add". Highlight "Original Key" and then press the Right arrow on the Virtual Keyboard application you loaded earlier. Then highlight "Mapped Key" and hold down the "Volume -" key then press the "Volume +" key. If all has worked correctly the mapped key should change to "Vol+". Then do the same for the following:
Vol+ ................. Left Vol- .................. Right No .................... Up Yes ................... Down Camera ............. K
Then press "Options" and save your "Custom Mode 1".
Step 5 Set the Virtual Key application to run in the background and completely exit the Virtual Keyboard application.
Step 6 Start up the NGage application and try to play a game. Hopefully the Up/Down volume keys will control Left/Right when holding the phone horizontally, and the other keys should do what you mapped them to above. You may have to use the volume keys in the same way you had to set them (Hold down Vol- and press Vol+ etc
So now hopefully you can play NGage. Let me know of any other control schemes you guys come up with!

It's a memory card issue, please re-format your memory card using external SD/SDHC card reader via computer and format it using Windows Explorer (My Computer -> Explore -> Memory Card Drive Letter -> Right Click and Select Format (FULL FORMAT for FAT32 & Don't do quick format.)
Re-sit the memory card in the device and start the fone, do a hard reset and reinstall all ure desired applications. My advise is for you to ScanDisk the memory card every 1 or 2 weeks to maintain the good quality. Currently the appropriate SD/SDHC for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is Class 4 and the best is Class 6.
As my personal advise and my personal experience, I never faced any problem using my device and the memory card.
1. Do not install large applications, such ad DVD movies > 500MB. 2. Run ScanDisk at least once every week. 3. Always plug-out your SD/SDHC which is connection thru device using USB cable by stopping the card process (Click the "Safely remove hardware" icon and stop the process) 4. Avoid taking out the SD/SDHC card from the device unnecessarily, let it be there and don't disturb it. 5. Install only usefull applications into the phone, dont dump things that u dont use much, if so .. use ure computer.
Solution Method 1. Use an external SD/SDHC reader and copy out all ure data's from the memory card. 2. As the oldskool DOS method .. C:\Format <memorycarddriveletter> Example: C:\Format E: (press enter) .. wait for 100% ..Format the memory card using FAT32 or alternatively, goto Windows Explorer -> Right click on the F drive -> Choose Format -> Choose FAT32 and select FULL FORMAT (Dont Use Quick Format!) 3. Finally, move back ure old backed up data to the SD card and ure phone will work properly again, Insert into device and turn ON.

Important: - Please make up backups from time to time, this can avoid u in trouble. - The problem was from en-user and not from Nokia, since Nokia has included backup facility in the fone itself.
Finally, please "READ THE MANUAL BOOK" before operating any devices, thats why manufacturers supply with the manual book with guided instructions for people to read n understand.

Enjoy this modification though this is not so useful to all also it's not compatible with all Nokia 5800XM versions.
It will make Home Screen, calculator, map etc. to be oriented in landscape which were previously disabled landscape orientation by default.

What's A Hacked Phone, How To Hack & Why Must Be Hacked?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Hacked phone allows access into system and private hidden folders whereby its not available for end-user access within the factory standard Nokia firmwares. Moreover hacking is not for everyone, unless you are keen to know whats going on at the background of the phone, instead looking at the LCD screen.
What's License, Certificate & Key, Why We Need It?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Generally license (certificate and match key) is a Symbian signing authorisation permission for a user to install unsigned application, games and themes. Stuffs from unofficial or large vendor such as private programmers arent be able to get officially signed applications to be used directly by users, moreover it can be said as a Symbian restriction to not allow unauthorised 3rd party contents which may harm the device.

Garmin XT Mobile is GPS guiding application which used to guide routes within a specific region as same as Nokia OVI Maps, for eg. throughout a City, State or even Country road guidance and POI (auxillaries available eg. Banks, Petrol kiosks, Markets and Shopping Centres). Garmin XT Mobile is available FREE for download but only can be used with help of external devices even your phone has built in support to use GPS, its limited. Dont ask me why it's limited, ask the Garmin vendors. You need a special key to unlock privilige to use built in GPS feature.

File browsers such as Y-Browser, X-Plore and Active File is a file browser to guide around the phone path to access folders and files, generally these are what you exactly use in Microsoft Windows (The Windows Explorer). The user can copy, paste and delete files & folders.

Please use Hello OX2 which is available to download from Modifications & Tweaks section at FP, however this features only for users with firmware v31.0.101 and older, v40.0.005 unable to be hacked with Hello OX, therefore the project has been dropped by them since PNHT Team introduced custom firmware flashing method.

GUIDE TO FLASH YOUR 5800 USING J.A.F - Taken from my Blog.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
DISCLAIMER : The following guide might brick your phone if the steps are not followed. I will not pay the full responsibility if you bricked your phone.
This is my personal guide of the methods to flash your beloved 5800XpressMusic by using JAF. Please read the disclaimer above before moving on.
What you need to do before you flash your phone? - Do a full backup of your phone using Nokia PC Suite - Check your product code and region hardware code (Eg : RM-356 0573786) - By using the product code you found, search for the firmware/custom firmware that match with the code. - Get JAF. - And some pills in case you get a cardiac arrest when you accidentally brick your phone.
Precaution - DO NOT EVER ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE YOUR PHONE FIRMWARE USING JAF. - Your warranty might be VOID if you custom flash your phone. - This guide is not advisable to be used in
Why Flash your phone? - As per on v50 firmware, you cant hack your phone using HellOX2, Alternative? Pre-hacked CFW. - Better performance, tweaked system files on certain CFW - Custom modded user interface and transition graphics on certain CFW. - In case you bricked your phone unintentionally, you can recover by manual flashing. - Switch your firmware without hassel.
The following guide is the guide for original FW flashing. As some CFW flashing method is different, but starting from Step 3, everything is the same.
STEP 1: Let's get started. First, download Navifirm from any modding sites you usually visit. Look for your FW and download your desired one with the codes you found in your phone. Make sure everything is correct to avoid conflict with your phone later. Tick everything and download all of them. Keep them in a folder for further use later
STEP 2 : Before moving on to JAF, move all your downloaded firmware to C:\Program Files\Nokia\Pheonix\Products\yourproductcode\ Paste. If you dont have the Pheonix and the hardware region code folder, just create one.
STEP 3 : Turn on JAF in your computer and move on to BB5 tab. Untick CRT 308 but tick Manual Flash, Dead USB like what I did on the above screenshot. Click Use INI and wait for a couple of seconds until a you saw a pop out, choose your hardware region code paired with your phone model.
STEP 4 : After all you done so far, you should see something like above. Now turn off your phone and connect it to your PC with USB cable. Click the FLASH button and immediately press the power button once! Now sit back and wait for the process to go on. Meanwhile, pray for your phone to work after this.
If nothing gone wrong, you should see a Done! in JAF after the process is finished and your phone is in Local mode. Unplug the USB cable and restart. Make sure to do a soft reset after rebooting by tapping *#7370# on your phone dial.
DONE! Now you'll have your 5800XM alive again! Meanwhile do check out my review on 5800XM too!

congrats of new thread. i think we need some space for modding section, but put source link. so everyone aware that we can do whatever we want with our phone.
Try Xtension^10 CFW, mine is having 59MB on startup. btw names added in userslist
Xtenstion^10 is based on the original 5800 fw right? I'm looking for C6 based, I'm currently using Xtension C6-01, but it only gives an average of 42MB free RAM, Opera will crashes from time to time. So I'm now looking for any C6 based fw that provides more RAM
organize > folder and search option > View > hide extension of unknown type > untick
Easy right?

With those fancy HS and some extra features, i dont think they can juice up more RAM for usage.
QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Sep 19 2010, 07:47 PM)
i notice after update to custom firmware my phone more laggy
Did you use it straight after flashing? Its not advisable as some installation process is still running on background... Give it some time to settle down.

The best CFW is skeleton based, remove all the unnecessary languages, help and support files and insert commonly used applications which can run in ROM such as Freesigner, Kill Me etc.
This could give more spaces in C drive to gain non-lag and speed fone ..
lag like no tomorrow sial. hahaha come i record video show u
Err.... I think you missed out something before you flash your phone.... Your microSd must be cleaned up before your flash to avoid any form of performance conflict.

2.b There is no ROFS3 File! Don't think it's missing! It's simply no longer needed! So don't try to use the one from your old package or you will brick your phone!
7. Don't start jumping around asking left and right how to flash it. There are too many posts on the net. I'll be citing one here. 8. Always be calm and double check before you flash that you have setup everything fine 9. Since we've been working like crazy, we will take some time off. Therefore, we won't reply on your questions and please don't try to PM 10. We advise you to flash with the our released version before trying to edit it and add mods or languages 11. To add languages, you will need to use NFE 0.2 STD and follow the instructions that can be found in the tools section

As far as I know, symbian have their own codec. but Nokia 5800 is already among the best for category audio. even C6 is more soft compare 5800
yeah, sometimes, I'm using Xtension c6-01 firmware, seems like after 2 weeks without restarting i will have serious lag problems, then the RAM will go down to 14MB free, guess is the RAM management problem.

Hi Guys, I just bought the phone last few days didn't use much for the starting accept do the basic testing such as test the speaker, phone call and so on after the testing I have switch off the phone and yesterday night after I reach home from work I try open the phone however unable to turn on.
When I try to press on the power button the screen like black-out color after I release from pressing the button the screen will turn to black like turn off, any idea what happen? The phone still not yet 1 week
I have try 1) remove the memory card or battery [No luck] 2) remove the memory card and battery [No Luck] 3) remove the memory card, battery and wait for 5~10mins [No Luck]
seems like this C6-01 xtension is something interesting, gotta try it later
anyway, i'm having this issue with my 5800 for quite sometime but i have no time to rectify the problem. My gps satellite lock takes very long time(sometimes even doesn't able to lock), it happens to both garmin xt and nokia maps, a-gps is turned on and i tried it in open space(good weather as well).
i'm suspecting 2 things, i can't remember well but could it be due to my matte screen protector? or my gps chip gets faulty?

thanks for the guide, downloading pnht cfw now anyway, i'm reading guide by pnht, he pointed out that firmware files should be placed in “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\DataPackage\Products\RM-356″ where as other guide is asking to put in phoenix/products/RM-356
i manage to read chinese now. are there any file i can save in order for me to write in chinese? as my phone language is 01 and only have eng, france, spain and etc.... thanks
Waiting for them to make QWERTY input for chinese, but currently they manage to make numeric and handwriting input for chinese, but I haven't tried yet.

Any one of the both also can as long JAF is able to detect the firmware files.
For me, I used “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\DataPackage\Products\RM-356″
thanks guys, manage to run it on my 5800 already just 1 question, its just eye candy issue, when i scroll thru my homescreen, it doesn't have effect, means when you flip from page 1 to page 2, it doesn't have animation, is there a settings to it or ?

did they do for pinyin as well? if yes may i have the link please? thanks
you need to add the language into the rofs2 and reflash again...
i found the thread in the forum, thank you very much
later gotta try my gps, hopefully will work this time
edit: i found the thread, they provide all files for flashing, so can i do this? use original pnht release + replace rofs2 with the chinese version + use upakul xtension?
what tool is needed if i want to repack the rofs2 with Chinese language?

You only can either use the chinese version rofs2 or extension rofs2, or you can add chinese language into extension rofs2 but I'm still unsure about the input

thanks mate, you are helpful indeed just now i saw a thread in opda, i saw a screenshot of c6 cfw with htc sense clock widget, is that widget in the xtension or pnht firmware? or got way to download it ?

You can set it at themes > general > press option on your theme that you chose
hmm, i'll try to go thru their rom see can find the widget in it or not i found another guide on using htc sense on 5800, but it required to install gdesk
edit: i've imported pcrchinese to the rofs2 file and flashed it to my phone,i can change phone language to chinese , but doesn't have chinese input, where did you guys extract the chinese language from?

I found the htc clock, its an application called MJWeather.
good finding, gonna try it out n see how anyway, how you did the chinese language thingi? i've imported the .lang, but it only allow me to select the phone language but not writing language as chinese input

So far I didn't tried the chinese input, but if you wanna go for something easier, you can try dayhand input or baidu input method.
If I use OVI suite to sync with my 5800, then after that if i deleted something (i.e. msg/photo) in my phone, then I resync to the ovi suite, can I get the file back into the phone?

Why cannot? Dun underestimated the power of 5800. I used to run some playfish flash game on skyfire. But now too bad skyfire is not available in our region anymore.

Hmm, basically not much, just sign a certificate using your IMEI code which is essential for application installation Upgrade your firmware to the latest one too. v51.0.06

Gona do hard reset then get nokia ovi suit on my winxp to update stuff.
Apa itu presigned? Didn't sign anything, What other file browsers are there?
Y-Browser, X-plore, etc etc. presigned apps = apps that signed by the developer themself. Just like a contract, you need to sign by your boss before you can start working on it.

Hi folks, My phone is RM-356 with v51 firmware. Flashed to OrangeCFW. However, when I do a restore backup, I will always encounter System Error (-1) when i choose Contacts for the first time and it will give the same error on an intermittent basis.
Reflash to original firmware and do a restore backup. Same error as well.
Any steps that I missed?
When I flash with JAF, I always tick only 3 = Manual Flash, Dead USB and Use INI.
I installed all my apps to the E:/Memory Card and didn't format/delete the content of the card at all.
BTW, OrangECFW rawks. 5800XM sure is fast after flashing.
On Garmin, how do you sync your 'Saved Locations' with your phone contact or save it as a text form? Referred to the manual, but it wasn't much help.
TQ so much.

I also like yours one, but i fixed it myself.. just open the front panel and push the touch panel from inside alongside the perimeter. If pushing it didnt work, i cut 1cm of rubber band then put between the lcd screen and the touch panel there. i don know hot to elaborate more. but its works for me. almost 4 month.
from my observation, the cause for this problem is because the touch screen film is longgar from the touch panel frame. I've done it for my frens too. Save ffew hundred bucks..

Instead of deleting the 3G profiles which may come useful at times, i suggest you to set your home wifi network as first priority and always ask to connect to internet. Save you alot of trouble too.

Yeap. backup through pc suite or ovi and restore after flashing.
Wonder if anyone can help me? I can't see any of the images or videos I've saved under Gallery (basically when I go there, all I can see is a blank screen) & some of the applications I've downloaded went missing too. But when I go to File Manager, I can see these files still exist. Can someone please guide me to "restore" back everything? Thanks!

Perhaps a corrupted memory card. Do you have backup of all the files just in case?
any pro here? why after flash to new firmware, can restart 1 or 2 times only, after that must remove memory card or hard reset only the phone will start, thx
I just updated the new firmware for the GPS app. Apparently, it seems that Position is really fast. However, its beginning to charge me some KB for using it.
Turn off Wi-Fi/Network settings if people have not. I'm just using Integrated GPS and that shud be enuff. Best part however, is that now we get 3D building views. hehe.
take ur time. dont rush it. i've studied these files for 3weeks before attempting to flash my 5800. and by study i mean : do alot of reading in that forum smile.gif
wish u luck.

I'm a C6 user too, RAM seems like less than the original firmware. your GPS lock on faster should be because of you are using AGPS, or network based.
But anyway C6 firmware is really nice to play with

before flashing i also use AGPS and integrated GPS only. network base and bluetooth is disable. lock need around 1 minute. after flashing, using same config, can lock less than 30sec.

C6 Firmware stable compare to other firmware? How about the battery life?
battery life still in testing. will report back in a week.

haha... I still feels that the original 5800 firmware is more stable, less crashing, but c6 firmware has more features. Battery life is slightly shorten, whn using original firmware my battery can last for 2 days but nw only 1 day
