Wah lau! Pana! Finally got V3 liao! Congratulations!

Really fast moving thread...

Probably not much I guess. But still they may reserve some for the launching too.

Go back to File Manager --> Backup. Then options and restore.

Yeah I wonder how is the quality and battery life too. It should have a built-in DAC and I wonder if it has a signal amplifier.

And also... www.imserba.com

Did you check from Nokia's software support for the phone? Usually there'll be a dictionary database for you to download.

And wait until when since we don't know when or how to differentiate the batches. I think as long as you have Nokia warranty and you're not left alone good enough liao. Otherwise don't wait. Might as well skip it. More exciting phones coming up.

Yeah, rarely I see lowyat's server going slow and busy. Something must be wrong here.

Anyway to answer your question, 'root of the memory card' meaning the very first path you open. For example your memory card drive letter is D:. You click on D to open it. The view you see is the root.

Yeah agree. Not to mention, the material is soft so it will get temporary 'scaring' or 'marking' if you place it over rough surfaces. Also it depends how the product is pre-cut and how accurate it is cut. I bought one for my Touch Diamond and the end result wasn't attractive at all. The lines/cut makes it look bad and cheap.

Judging the lines and surfaces of the Nokia 5800, I think it'll be difficult to cover the entire phone and not have extra fragments which needs some cutting.

Use the Skool brand, I am using it for awhile now. No problem with fitting and screen sensitivity.

I'm gonna follow this procedure too. So no screw removals involved right? Just use plectrum to separate the top casing.

Thats great. I'll do it when I have the time. Currently the problem seem to have gone away. Has been more than a week now without the problem.

I thought the ones posted before from Russian and Hong Kong forums had pictures with it? I think if you use plectrum to 'slit' near the camera shutter button or the lock/unlock slider should be safe. Cause there are wider gaps there to fit the plectrum. The plectrum is soft plastic so it won't damage or blunt edges of the casing. I was thinking another point of entry via the memory slots. Once you take off the memory card cover, it'll have enough space to fit your fingers/nails to separate it.

Yeah agreed. Its easy to disassemble. The top faceplate/casing is assembled into the main casing just like the battery cover. It has a series of latches and clips that can be opened up relatively easy. This is a cost-effective no screws required assembly. Just open up careful and slowly.

Of course not sensitive. A mobile device cannot transmit in high power due to battery constraints and the size of the antenna which is dependent on the size of the phone. It can never be compared to a laptop or a dedicated transmitter. The laptop will have higher transmit power allocation and the size of the antenna will be larger too.

Similarly, testing WIFI connection in the open is easier than inside a home with many rooms/partitions. Inside a home, not only the walls or the partitions will reduce signal strength but because of reflection from these surfaces will create multipaths. Its like two person screaming in a cave. All the echos going around, you'll get AND detecting SSID's or hotspot don't count. You could detect them because the wireless access point has a more powerful antenna. Try connecting to it (if you are could), it may not be able to sustain a stable connection. Signal strength is not everything.

Yup, have been running for weeks without a single problem. During the first few days of ownership, I ran into problem installing incompatible software but after I got things right, it has been 'on air' till now.

I found out that it is 'almost' impossible to brick the phone. I found some procedures to flash the phone in dead or non-operating conditions using Phoenix provided you have the firmware package. The firmwares are distributed by Nokia to its service centers and are available in an installation package. The package will hold the base firmware, configuration for local telcos, etc.

Have yet to try it out I thought of not wait for Nokia Software Update to update.

soft reset nope. hard reset yes so backup your user data either via built-in backup utility (available at file manager and it will backup to memory card) or using PC Suite. hard reset only affects phone memory and will not affect memory card.

No. And the telco configurations are different too but usable. Unless you can find the language packs. Just use the EMEA for the meantime until NSU is update to support Nokia 5800. The product code should be preserved so when an update is available on NSU, it'll flash in the correct region firmware.

I don't think so. The call silencing feature by turning it face down is supported by the accelerometer. You may double check that when a call is being received, try blocking the front facing sensors. Nothing will happen. Anyway the one next (closest to the front facing camera) is the proximity sensor. It works by emitting infrared (I guess) and then wait for the reflection from surface bouncing it off. If you look carefully, there are 2 mini-lenses (1 transmit, 1 receive). I've work with these before when I built my own line following vehicle (toy). The one furthest from the front facing camera is the light sensor.

So the Slick S60 MSN application works on the Nokia 6800???


Anyway yay! I've solved my earpiece problem! I managed to slice open the phone using the plectrum (as recommended). The phone had many dusts inside it and was shocked. Anyway, I've re-seat the speaker and re-do the contacts. Then I've placed some mini adhesive tapes (from my company) over it to keep it in place. Then I've found some mini-foam for the speaker. That way when the top casing is assembled back, the additional mini foam will press on it maintaining contact. And it works! No problems anymore.

Then I've manually flashed the latest v11 firmware on my phone using Phoenix. It was good and everything working fine. Its definitely an improvement over v10 firmware.

Yes. Absolutely yes.

Anyway the firmware upgrade procedures are simple but unique. Unique in the sense, it is not the usual Nokia Software Updater. I think it is a firmware flasher utility all Nokia Service Center uses. I can post the procedures for Pana to post here. I'll write to her tomorrow.

The screwdriver used is a mini flat one, the ones you use for tightening your spectacles and mini screws. NO screwing is required, you just use the flat tip to flip the speaker off its holder. Thats it.

Most of the contents are loaded in the 8GB micro-SD card. The contents in the phone can be restored from the ROM storage. Just remove the card when you do a soft reset. Actually there's no need to do any soft reset. When you newly receive the phone and activate it, it'll initiate the ROM which is like new. It should as good as a new hard reset.
