Hey everyone,

Finally got my new lcd. Went yesterday to Plaza Berjaya NCC. Very efficient, 2 hours. Told them my screen fades and turns purple. Not questions, they took it and fixed it. So to all of you with the fading/purple problem... please go and get it fixed. Nokia knows that the problem exists and you will get a new LCD.

So how many of u all are going to sell off your 5800 to get iphone from Maxis?..just wondering only
*
Iphone 3g vs tube... so many articles written about it. But I think us here all praise the tube more. After all iphone resolution is lower, no real 3g video, must jail break to install lots of the apps and not many third party apps. These are just off of my head. Tube is true value for money, besides maxis introduced a phone that is almost 1 year old (i mean the 3g) at such high prices. In most countries when the phone comes with contract, the price is significantly reduced.

does anyone have any problem with the proximity sensor after upgrading to v20 firmware?

my proximity sensor doesnt work anymore.. guess i need to send to the ncc?

Did you change your screen protector too? Well its prob on the front page, but if anything is obstructing the sensor, even plastic sp, it will not work.

Just wanted to share another bug with the v20 firmware. As you all prob know by now after you plug in your phone to the comp as "mass storage" things go a little crazy. For me, after i unplugged my phone from the pc, the shortcut buttons on the main page went blank and the contacts and the dialer on the main screen stopped working. I then switched to the contacts screen for the mainpage and it worked. But, when I pressed the green button to look for the last call info etc, it did not work. To cut a long story short had to do a soft reset and it was such a pain. I did a search on google and some others have had the same experience. So my advice, beware of the mass storage mode, use pc suite and get out all the files.

Seems like my fellow tubian above had the same problem...

How did u disconnect the mass storage? Just pull out usb cable or safely remove hardware method?

I recommend use the remove hardware method
*
safely remove, in the past, i used to get some icons out of place and stuff, but never a prob like this. I am gonna stay away from mass storage, cause can do almost everything with nokia pc suite.

Does your screen fade? Turn purple? If so you got to go to NCC and get the lcd changed.

Whats the best brand of screen protector for Nokia 5800?

Also, isit worth to apply it with Invisibleshield or to skin your phone?
*
Well you can buy the invisibleshield, but only if you are really patient and really good at arts and crafts. It is really hard to put on and I ended up having to waste RM80 for nothing. Now using a black silicone case I ordered from ebay. Seriously, if i were you i might think twice. I don't know how you can get it perfect, i mean the application of the zagg cover.

Hey guys was at lowyat a while ago and they told me that there is a silicone case for our phone by capdase. Anyone have the case? Looks nice online. They were out of stock when i was there.

Got my RED TUBE yesterday. Avaxx set.

So far, having used to using N95 8GB and iPod Touch, i must say the overall thing is quite good, considering the affordable price for such a gadget.
The touch screen isnt as responsive as that of an iPod Touch's, but it's not bad either.
Im happy with my Tube so far..
Firmware is already up to date out of the box..

Since im a Mac user, I havent got the privilidges yet to try the many things that are shared here. The so called 'PC Suite for Mac (Beta)' is also useless, but transfering media files into the Tube from my Mac is easy via the included USB cable and Bluetooth, even easier than my experience with N95 8GB.

My videos are encoded using Toast Titanium.
Setting= MP4, bitrate 600, size 640 x whatever (doesnt matter, depends on your video's aspect ratio).. for 2 hours video, i got roughly 600mb. Still large imo, since the screen is large 640 horizontal is a must for me. While i was using the N95, 320 x 240 is enuff since the screen is smaller thus resulting in smaller file size for the same 2 hour video..

Minor glitches dont really affect the usage. But for those who really have zero sense in technology, the glitches may be disaster.
After some hours of usage, suddenly the memory card is unrecognised by the phone, i couldnt get the files in the card. Tried resetting it, still wont work. Then, following the instructions found in the manual book, removed the card and tucked it in back in the slot, as firm as possible. Voila! the card is readable again, and no more problem since..

Web browsing isnt as smooth as i expected. Myb im too used to multitouching the iPod, which is for me still the silkiest browsing on a small device.

Built quality? Well, its plastic, what can i say? But overall the Tube feels great in hand, the size is just nice n no sharp corners..
BUT the small GAP on the right top corner is annoying!!! The light leakage isnt obvious but it creates a slight creaking sound whenever i push the drop down menu thing..

Overall= Im happy with it, the price is quite justified i guess, with the functions it has... ok la
*
hey man for most of the apps etc, you can always drag the .sis file into your phone using your mac and install straight on the phone. Also for things like garmin, there is always a workaround. Google it up man. Make use of your tube to its full potential. I even have styletap running, a program to emulate palm os so I can run palm apps. smile.gif

Yeah its bundled, i did not even take it out of the box. I don't believe that the bundled headphones with any device are adequate enough. Paired the 5800 xm with my sennheiser cx400 and ... beautiful sound. Don't know how the stock headphones sound but if they are anything like the apple ipod stock headphones, then please upgrade.... to hear the clear sound from the phone.

anyone know how to make the home screen like this??? i mean we now jzu have 4 shortcut..but this one have 6 and bottom there not same???

I asked this question a while ago, read a bit about it. I think that for now we only have the choice of 4 shortcuts. The n97 will come with that screen. There is some speculation that the new firmware will have 6 shortcuts, but lets just hope. For now the only alternative is the epocware shell, but it uses ram, resources, etc...

Hi Guys,

I am facing some problems on my blue tube

1) I cant use the touch screen when i made a call - meaning (cant click loudsp. , end call, option / dialer)
2) Neither can i make use of touch screen when i receive a call (cant answer,silence,option/send msg)
3) Whenever im listening to mp3 using headphone in silent mode, whenever i receive an sms, it will blow out to the speaker for 1 second. I dont mind but it scares the shit out of the bus passenger.

Number 1 and 2 only happens after i update to V20. 3 has always been around.

Tried but still cannot solve it
1) soft reset
2) reinstall software
Did i accidentally lock something??
*
Not sure about 1 & 2 but I have had 3 ever since I got my phone and my phone came with v11 before. Now on v20. Hope that it gets solved, cause when i am in the library it is really annoying to the rest of the people around.

Hey guys,

It seems nokia started replacing the earpieces on the 5800 with one from a different supplier. I have not had any problems with my ear piece but maybe i should go change mine (that is if they have the stock from the new supplier). Check this out

http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2009...0-brak-en.shtml

Maybe we should all change our ear pieces to the new one.

Well it does look pretty cool, but I think a lot of us here using case: leather or silicone... so colour does not really matter. Me personally using a black silicone case... and happy with it smile.gif

Omnia HD seems amazing, but to be honest, I am almost certain it will be 3k+ or at least close to 3k. So for value for money, tube is the way to go. If you got money to burn then most certainly should get omnia HD. It is even symbian.

Hey guys,

I know a lot of you are searching for the perfect case for your tube. Well I have been through it all. Wasted RM80 on the invisible shield. Then, bought a pouch (which I find annoying to use). Then I bought a cheaper silicone case off ebay. And finally I received this baby today.

If anyone is interested this is the link on ebay where I bought the case from:

http://cgi.ebay.com.my/Capdase-Protection-...p3286.m63.l1177

It cost about RM70+ plus shipping to Malaysia. Money well spent smile.gif Also it took about 6 days to arrive after I purchased the item.

dear icechiller555

there's ppl selling in bulk sales.. the soft jacket is RM40 only i believe ( not including delivery charges to ur house yet lar )

I know people are doing bulk but are they doing bulk for the same capdase case? I have not seen any mention of a capdase case on lowyat. They have the leather case, but not the silicone case.

Just did a search of lowyat.net confirm, they are only selling the leather case. This is the silicone version. I asked in lowyat the other day and they told me they are selling for RM80 but it was sold out when I was there.
