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. For the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is one of Nokia's most widely talked about (and

leaked) phones of recent memory. 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. 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 Design and Hardware

The 5800, at 111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm, is a reasonably small package. It is similar in size to the N78 (113 x 49 x 15.1 mm), but slightly heavier at 109g versus 102g.

Volume wise, the 5800 is bigger at 83 cc compared to the N78 at 76.5 cc; it does feel bigger in the hand, mainly due to the greater taper on its edges. While the 5800 is

significantly bigger than the typical mid-range phone and would do well to be thinner, it compares favourably to other smartphones and does not feel over sized.

Thanks to its relatively narrow width it is, proportionally, closer to the traditional candy bar shape (long rectangle) than most touch screen based phones (short

rectangle). If you think of your typical candybar smartphone, remove the keypad and lengthen the screen and you'll get pretty close to the feel of the 5800. The key

advantage of this shape is that, for most people, it will be possible to use the device with just one hand; even those with smaller fingers should be able to reach all

points on the screen.


The 3.2 megapixel camera focuses well and takes great pictures in daylight -- indoors is likely a different story, as with most cameraphones, but there's a rather

powerful dual LED flash to help out with that.

All of this -- in addition to things like GPS, WiFi and a side-loading microSD slot (there's a free 8GB card included) -- are wrapped up into an elongated, chubby package,

hence the Tube moniker. We'd hate to have something of its shape and thickness in a tight jeans front pocket on a regular basis, but we must admit that it's very

comfortable to hold and use with a single hand, something that can't be said for all touchscreen phones.

Software

It's S60, so if you were hoping for something else you'll be sorely disappointed. Nokia's done "just enough" to turn the traditional interface into a touchable one with

version 5.0, sizing up icons, adding finger-friendly buttons in lieu of traditional menu items and so forth. What Nokia hasn't quite figured out is consistency, requiring

double taps in some places, single taps in others. Scrolling through most lists requires dragging a scroll bar, pulling down as the list flies up, but the browser has touch

and drag scrolling. Nothing's too frustrating or unreasonable, but this is no seamless experience.

What's new is a touch-sensitive button above the screen that drops down the Media Bar for access to music, movies, photos, the browser and sharing. Not life changing,

but quite convenient. There's also a new home screen with a "Fav Four" of sorts across the top and little else. Tap that friend, and you can get a quick look at recent

calls, messages and even related RSS feeds. Pretty neat if you're a loner, but there's no way to add more than four friends, or view similar info for your regular

contacts that don't make the cut. Luckily, the traditional S60 home screen is also available.

For text input you have four options: handwriting, mini QWERTY keyboard, full screen QWERTY and alphanumeric keypad. The first two are stylus-based (that mini

QWERTY is truly mini), while the other two are only available in landscape and portrait modes, respectively. Like we said in the hardware end of things, the resistive

touch means using the tips of your fingers instead of the pads, which we find a tad frustrating, but the keyboard in landscape mode is truly gargantuan, and after an

hour or two of learning we're guessing you could rattle off some pretty lengthly emails or Great American Novels. Luckily, if you're a T9 fan there's nothing stopping you

from keeping the phone in portrait mode and rattling off text messages with the touchable alphanumeric keypad, and the phone is frankly too narrow to work well with

QWERTY in portrait. The handwriting recognition looks good enough, but we revert to a 2nd grade writing level whenever we pick up a pen, so that stylus is staying

firmly in its holster. We're not convinced the touchable browser is a step up over existing WebKit implementations on Nokia's other handsets, since the tap to zoom

function is slow and unreliable -- and no, you can't select text from web pages to copy and paste. Panning around the page is also jittery, perhaps a tad worse than the

G1 -- nobody has managed to pull off iPhone smooth yet in this department. We were using a slightly early software build, so some of these problems might be fixed in

the final version, but it wasn't encouraging. Still, there's no denying the advantages of viewing the web on a 640 x 360 LCD.

We tested out an accelerometer-based driving game, but it was overly sensitive and no-fun-at-all -- though we're guessing that wouldn't be a hard fix. The graphics

looked pretty good, though. Movies are potentially this phone's killer app, but you'll have to do the conversion just right to get smooth playback at full resolution. We did

see some video shot with the phone (that Sea World shot in the gallery) and it looked pretty good.

Conclusion

If you haven't picked it up by now, Nokia isn't going after the power users here. The phone will be marketed under Nokia's "Live" banner, and really concentrates on the

most basic communications -- calling and texting -- with a whole bunch of multimedia piled on top. Nokia's Comes With Music helps on that end of things, and the screen

certainly helps with video, but this is no iPhone when it comes to to solid media integration or full-featured media player apps. On the communication side, we're sad to

see Nokia almost burying some of its S60 advantages. Everything's still there, but Nokia didn't put the gruntwork in necessary to really take advantage a next-gen

interface as it relates to keeping track of emails, social networking, IM and the correspondences of more than four people. All that said, Nokia isn't claiming that the

5800 is the be all end all, is releasing it with a very aggressive price point (€279 unlocked), and promises more where this came from.

Where to get Handbrake? Uncle Google is your best friend.

Oh, another thing... If you're running Handbrake in Vista, MAKE SURE its running WITH Administrator Rights (Run as Admin).

Step 1:

1) Open your video file... Click here and select Video File.
2) Check that the path is correct.
3) Click here and select the DESTINATION DIR/FILE (what file you want it to turn into and where do you want to put it). Check the box besides it afterwards.
4) Check that you've selected the BASIC preset from the sidebar (MAYBE I'll prepare a 5800XM XVID preset later when I've finished tweaking them video files to Optimum Transcoding PerfectionTM... biggrin.gif ).
5) Click here and choose MP4 file (it might also be a good idea to DO THIS before NO 3).
6) Click beside ANIMORPHIC, choose NONE. In the "Width/Height" box above it, enter "640" into the FIRST box. Leave the 2nd box empty.

Step 2:

7) Click on VIDEO.
8) Click on VIDEO CODEC. Select MPEG-4 (XVID).
9) Go to AVG. BITRATE and key in 1200 (over the default 1500... This is also where you'd want to experiment to get smaller files).

Step 3:

10) Click on AUDIO & SUBTITLES
11) Check the picture. You probably would have to change the MIXDOWN to stereo, and the BITRATE to 128 (also, you can experiment here, try MONO and/or a lower BITRATE).

12) Click on START.
13) PROFIT!!!

In all actuality, converting MKV/OGM/DVDs aren't much different from the above, only with the addition of Choosing Title/Chapters (skip to the movie part, not the titles, or a specific part in the movie - it's in the Source part) for DVD; Choosing Audio Streams (again from the Audio part of the above) for MKV/OGM/DVDs; and Choosing Subtitles (see the audio part) for MKV/OGM/DVDs.

Pros:
All in one : Practically able to convert any file (unless if there's is a file type that I have not tried)
Customization : Convert any file with any settings you desire
Quality : It maintains the quality of the file you convert with the correct settings

Cons:
Takes a long time for large files
Have to try a few settings before getting the right one
Different computers give different output files depending on the codes you have in the computer

1) Click on this link to download Super Converter at the bottom of the page ---> Super™

2) Do all the necessary installations as needed and also an important note for Vista users, before you start the converter you need to right click an select "Run As Administrator" --> "Allow" in order to use this converter.


After launching Super Converter

3) You'll notice that there's a lot of settings and also preset settings that is available in it. However what we are trying to do is to customize the settings for our tube.

4) To do so you need this settings:

Video
i) Output Container = MP4
ii) Output Video Codec = Mpeg - 4
iii) Output Audio Codec = AAC
iv) Video Scale Size = 640:368 (In case you can't find it, there's a "More" box beside the Video Scale title. Click on it to find it)
v) Aspect = 16:9
vi) Frame/sec = 25
vii) Bitrate = 1200

Audio
i) Sampling Freq = 44100
ii) Channels = 2
iii) Bitrate = 128

5) Save the settings so that you don't have to configure them anymore next time. To save, Right Click --> Export (Save) a Super? "Settings Profile"


To convert

6) Right click and choose "Multimedia Files", browse the files you want and then place it in.

7)Finally, just press the "Encode Active Files" and wait for the file to be converted. The file will appear under the Output folder of your designated Super Converter folder.

Honestly we have tested about 6 different video converters for the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music:

- Nidesoft Nokia Video Converter
- Nidesoft Video Converter
- Super
- Xilisoft Video Converter (Ultimate)
- Handbrake
- Free Zune Video Converter

and now we have found the best so far is…
Free Zune Video Converter

Why?

* Easier to use. It’s almost dummy proof.
* Fastest conversion time.
* Smaller file size. Believe it or not, most of the converters actually made bigger .mp4 files than the original .avi videos
* 100% Compatible with the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music at 16:9 display
* Its FREE!

So here we have compiled an easy to use step-by-step instruction on how to convert the video. It is so easy, it only takes 5 steps!
(sorry for the uber large images… we wanted to make the guide as easy to read as possible)

Step 01 - Get The Software
Click Here

Step 02 - Extract and run ZuneConverter

Step 03 - Add File
Firstly, you have to choose your file. Go to File List > Add files to list…

Step 04 - Settings
There are a few settings which you have to set which we will guide you through.
1) Select the Output Format to be “MP4 (MPEG-4/AAC) - video and audio
2) Set the bitrate and FPS (frames per second).
- Bitrate can be anything lower or higher even 1000+ but remember, a higher bitrate means a bigger file output.We chose 600 and it gave us a 400+mb file out of an original 800mb divx file.
- FPS set to 25
3) Resolution here choose “640 x 350 - EGA”. We have tried using ‘custom’ and setting 640×360 but it doesn’t play on the Nokia 5800.
4) Set where you want your output to be. Here we chose the desktop so we don’t have to go finding it again
5) When you are very confirm that all the settings have been finalized, click the “CONVERT” button on the top.

Step 05 - Let it run
Basically let it encode finish and you are done! Easy isnt it?

Note: If you see message “This application has failed to start because libmp3lame-0.dll was not found.” or similar, download libmp3lame-0.dll file and copy it to folder where you extracted Free_Zune_Video_Converter.zip archive. (issue already fixed in version 1.1)

Before you start, there's a suggestion by the snake

**Attention! All the action is desirable to carry out in the bathroom, because there is no dust because of the humidity.

1) Use the plectrum, open the top cover/lid starting from the camera button.

You should remove only the plastic 'frame' which locks the screen to the phone's body. It is detachable on its own (no screen, no metal parts).


Oh hey, you look lost!!!
No worries, here's a Youtube LIVE demo about the DIY steps!!


2) This is how it looks like when the earpiece is in place:


Next, use a flat-head ('-' type precision tool or any small screw driver.


Next, use a flat-head ('-' type precision tool or any small screw driver.



3) Removing the earpiece will reveal the two contact points on the mainboard for the earpiece.


4) Here's the default appearance of the earpiece (bottom):


To make sure the pins can touch the contact points (highlighted above) properly, I bended the earpiece pins 'upwards'. (Be very careful here not to break the pins. You may want to hold points A and B while bending.




Now, you're done with bending. Next, put back the earpiece. Here's the tricky part, as you may have forgotten which is the correct position to put in. No worry, the part is keyed, meaning, it can only go in one way. Try the other way if the 1st trial fails. DO NOT force it in, it should go in smoothly.

5) Put back the the cover and the plastic 'frame'. Now you're done
and can forget about the earpiece problem forever

well thanks to all developers of HelloOx our 5800 is finally hacked ...
and since like with all other previuos phones u had the ability to change the startup nokia shaking hands animation and sound to your custom animation and sounds .

now you can do that even with your 5800 ...change the default startup sound and animation to your likes ......explore your 5800

to begin with u need a file explorer like xplore or y browser
-fisrt u need to place the startup sound file( startup.mp3) to C:\system\sounds if directory not found just create it.

-then place the startup animation files ( Startup.mbm, Startup.mif, STARTUP.r01 ) to C:\resource\apps

- copy 101F8763.txt to C:\private\10202be9

-- Now you need to make (101F8763.txt) that you copied as a read only file.
do this by highlighting the file & Menu files then click attributes, then just check the read only box.

Offering reasonable sound quality, a comfortable design and easy to grasp controls, Nokia's latest Bluetooth headphones, the BH-503, certainly pack quite a punch. Their ability to also handle mobile calls makes them a tidy option.

Although wireless headphones still lag far behind their wired counterparts in terms of sound quality, the increasing nature of A2DP Bluetooth on mobile phones and similar devices has seen Bluetooth headphones improve considerably.

Falling in line with these trends, the BH-503 offers reasonable, though not outstanding audio quality. Bass is surprisingly good, extending quite deeply even though it is slightly overpowered by the mid-range. The biggest issue is clarity – though this is a standard issue of most wireless headphones and not a problem of this unit in particular. Overall, the sound produced definitely won't satisfy audiophiles, but most will be pleasantly surprised.

Utilising a behind-the-head design, the BH-503 is comfortable to wear for long periods. Our only complaint is the material that covers the speakers – our ears became quite warm after just a few minutes of use. Build quality feels excellent though and the flexible, rubber neckband is a nice design touch.

To make use of the BH-503's wireless connectivity you'll require a device that is A2DP compatible. Most products with this protocol are mobile phones, though there are a few multimedia players with Bluetooth support. The advantage of the BH-503 is its ability to handle calls – simply press the call handling button to answer a call. We found both incoming and outgoing call quality exceptional and definitely on par with dedicated Bluetooth headsets. Particularly impressive was the loud in-call volume.

Pairing the BH-503 to a compatible phone or multimedia player is a simple process. Turning on the unit automatically puts it into pairing mode – simply search for the device, enter the passcode and then connect. Once connected, you can use the BH503's playback controls to skip through your music. In addition to volume controls, the BH-503 has buttons for play/pause, previous/next track and a call handling button. A microphone is built into the base of the right-hand ear cup.

This will be a pretty fast review on my latest gadget for 5800XM *Clap Clap* let's welcome Jabra BT8030, it's been one of my favourite gadget at all time ever since i bought it...

few facts and information before start:
1. It's convertible speaker/headset/headphone - Stereo
2. It support any device including PC, Laptops, 5800XM
3. the weight is about is about 300 gram
4. The original boxset including a carrying pouch which makes life so much easier, now i can carry all my cables with that pouch along with the headset.
5. Support AD2P (Stereo) and AVRCP (remote control), these two apply to your computer and your phone, i've tried it... i can play and pause my laptop music with the headset as well as my phone.
6. Range is about 10 metres
7. Inside the boxset got several books and 2 charger, 1 charger is power point charger, another charger is usb charger

Let me tell you about the photo:
1. After i open the whole set it's all the things that's included inside.

2. This is the photo of converted speaker mode of the headset and my beloved laptop ^^ if you wonder what's with the white collour thing... it's actually keyboard protector for laptop

the rest of the information you should go search for other review about very detail information on BT8030, what i'm going to tell you is just base on my experience after spending so many times with music in years...

in order to provide a better overview i would rate this product according to my usual rating 5/5 consider perfect:
1. Built Quality: **** (might not have the best quality in-terms of material use, but the design and the weight give the headset very solid feel i would like to rate it 5 stars but after comparing to some best headset in the market, i decided it should only put 4 stars)
2. Ease of Usage: ***** (Stereo headset with handsfree, speaker mode capability, what else you can think of? USB Charger+Power point charger? it's just a plus to that device)
3. Portability: **** (a bit heavy and bulky, but still without wire... this headset is consider portable)
4. Sound Quality: **** (i cant give this headset and speaker a full rated sound quality due to some reason which i'll explain later)
5. Value for money: ***** (nuff said, speaker + handsfree + headset + stereo + wireless for only RM280 imba)
6. Durability: *** (Sophisicted headphone, with nice silicon rubber-like surface, you wouldnt wanna drop it.... it's just for someone who know how to "handle with care")

Now for the sound quality part, first of all it had a rather large and heavy magnet that provide the extra bass boost therefore the bass output for both headset mode and speaker mode have the bass level strong enough for your enjoyment (after tested i can only tell you, it's 10 times better than laptop built-in speaker and some 2.0 pc speaker, of course without subwoofer it's kinda minus, below i've attached a video with live recording so you can judge yourself) this is the up part, as for the down part the headset treble clarity is not as good as gaming headset and some special headset which designed for pure music enjoyment, i'm not saying treble is not clear, it's just not as clear.

tested in car, tested in home, tested while walking, this device performed well.... burning for 8 hours non-stop music playing have yet to test it's maximum performance, battery duration is definitely cool enough for me.. for car usage it can act as speaker phone with large enough voice and great capability of adapting car environment, i brought my fren along and he tot it was the car stereo ^^..... so now i use it for my laptop speaker, my mobile stereo headset, my car audio... but i notice a little bit of difference comparing speaker mode and headset mode... for headset mode, the sound quality is great, for speaker mode, the sound quality is not as good as headset mode... while i was driving to KFC drive thru during dinner time, i pressed paused at the headset, with my headset still on, i can hear clearly what the waitress said and taken my order, but when i on the music, the sound filteration is good as it partitioned outside noise very well.

to conclude this headset, i would suggest the following:
1. This speaker is for beginner/intermediate that's looking for full stereo headset, for professional i would still suggest wired headset
2. Bass quality great, treble clarity not as good as expected
3. Weight is average, good for multiple usage such as car audio, laptop audio, mobile audio, for those who seekking AIO audio device.
4. Value for money, i got no comment on this, because, it's just worth getting, AIO, portability can convert to both speaker and headset, it's just like our tube which got everythingg and priced at RM1300

For those who interest to get, Jabra BT8030 can get at RM260 if do bulk base on every 10 pcs please
PM echo.garden if you interest to get one

Step 2 - Download to your computer Garmin Mobile XT Free Basemap, Ver. 4.xx.xx from here
Step 3 - Download to your computer Garmin Mobile XT Support Files, Ver. 4.xx.xx from here
Step 4 - Download the latest malfreemaps (free Malaysia garmin map) from here
(This is a map of Malaysia and it is made free to download. No registration required! Should you be looking for free Garmin maps of other countries, Google is your best friend! Otherwise, you may also choose to purchase the official City Navigator maps from Garmin.) Buy Garmin

Phase 02 - Installing the applications
Step 5 - Connect your Nokia 5800 XM (via mass storage) or memory disk to your computer and make sure it’s detected by your computer.
Step 6 - Now, run the recently downloaded files on the computer, one after another, in this order:
1. v4.xx.xxx Support File,
2. v4.xx.xxx Basemap File
3. GMXT v5.00.40

Note : Some people actually may be wondering. What does it mean by ‘run the downloaded files’? Basically all you have to do is double click on the files and run the Setup. Each of the installers have a GUI (graphical user interface) for the installation to the memory card.

Step 7 - Disconnect the memory card/Mass Storage from computer. It’s time to configure Garmin on your phone. Go to your phone’s File Manager and find GarminMobileXT.sis at the root directory and install the .sis.
Note : If you can’t find GarminMobileXT.sis, sometimes it might be in File Manager >Garmin >Applications >Symbian >RES >GarminMobileXT.sis
Note : During this step you might get an expired certificate error. To workaround this, there are 2 solutions:


Step 8 - After that, go to Applications> run Garmin Mobile XT. It won’t connect to GPS satelite yet, so just ignore it.
Step 9 - You should have received your device unlock code from the manufacturer of Garmin, however if you haven’t, there are instructions on the Internet to guide you on how to get yours.
NOTE : To use the internal GPS you would have to purchase the license from Garmin or an authorized dealer near you.

Step 10 - Copy the device unlock code and paste it in a notepad, then save the file as SW.UNL
Step 11 - Reconnect your via cable using mass storage.
Step 12 - Copy the SW.UNL file into \Garmin\ in your memory card
Step 13 - Then, run malfreemaps installer and copy gmapsupp.img into \Garmin\
(if you are unsure on how to install malfreemaps and get the gmapsupp.img file, check out this link.)
Step 14 - Disconnect your phone from your computer.
Step 15 - Go to Applications >Garmin Mobile XT >Settings >System >Remote GPS >Select ‘Use Attached/Built-in GPS’ >Enable and it’s all done.
Step 16 - Wait for satellite signal to strengthen and then you can start navigating around various places with confidence!

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,[1] a few backronyms have been created for it.[2]

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



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

ock with GPS only = 1mins up to 15 mins (depends on coverage area too) FREE
Lock GPS with A-GPS = 3sec to 1min (depends on coverage area too) Chargeable of 10cent per connect

POSITIONING METHODS:

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.


OBSTACLES:

A number of factors can affect your phone's ability to obtain its GPS position:

(a) 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.

(b) 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.

(d) 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.

(e) 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.

GO to settings -> COnnectivity -> scroll down to Admin settings -> APN control -> Turn off

1st solution = Do a soft reset of your phone by *#7370# with default lock code 12345
2nd solution = Either back date your phone date to an earlier time or check whether is it correct

2. Plug your cable to HP and connect as Mass Storage
3. Install the download file to Card Memory
4. Unplug the cable
5. Go menu > apps > File Manager > Card Memory > Find the Garmin sis that you install js now
6. Click it and install the latest version, during installation you should able to know this is newer version or not
7. Installation complete

Provide a background service that monitors incoming messages which may contain information used by Garmin Mobile XT.

A new setting will allow the user to turn this option off (Tools -> Settings -> System -> Launch Background Service).

And after that tsautorun.exe wont appear anymore. ( Basically for safe/confirm, enable it and disable back then ten Tsautorun.exe will wont start already)

Okay, this might be an obvious point, but it's a very important one and you'd be surprised how many people still don't get this! :-)
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.

Shut down 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 5800's screen brightness to the 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.

Switch off your 5800's screen when not in use

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 the 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.

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 a 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".)

As soon as Apple rolled out its preview of iPhone OS 3.0, the comparisons to existing (and forthcoming) mobile OSs started flying. While the major update isn't exactly a done deal, it's pretty far along, and we've been able to glean quite a bit from our time with the developer beta we've been checking out. iPhone OS, Android, webOS, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, S60; if you're in the market for a new smartphone, your choices have been getting exponentially more complicated lately, and 3.0 won't make the selection any easier. Luckily for you, Engadget is here to make sense of a frightening and uncertain landscape. Read on for an in-depth look at the similarities -- and differences -- between modern mobile operating systems.

Basics

When it comes to OSs, it's generally true that you're only as good as your kernel, and these days, there's no shortage of options in that department. Comparing core systems is difficult -- each one has its own strengths and weaknesses, but we'd be lying if we didn't say that the underlying structure of the iPhone OS is pretty robust. Since it's built atop OS X, which in turn is built atop Unix, it tends to be fairly sophisticated and stable (even if Apple has managed to lag it up with its UI). Android is Linux based, though its basic functionality is sandboxed in a particularly healthy variation of Java. S60 and Windows Mobile may be more mature, but that age doesn't always work to their advantage, and while RIM has done a tremendous job at updating its look and feel, the OS -- which is based around a proprietary kernel -- still showcases some of its ugly, underlying Java from time to time.

As you can see in the chart below, the basics slot these devices into fairly specific categories, though it's obvious that Apple is trying to nudge its way into the enterprise world (the company went out of its way to cite business customer satisfaction at the preview event). Of course, we don't expect to see the BlackBerry OS and Windows Mobile leaving that space any time soon.


User Interface

Apple nailed it out of the gate with many of its UI ideas. Gestures, lists with inertia, and plenty of touch-friendly sliders, wheels, and buttons generally make the iPhone OS a pleasure to navigate. While Android borrows some of that functionality, its uneven UI still doesn't match up (though Cupcake certainly makes a few welcome improvements). Windows Mobile and the BlackBerry OS have made some gains here over the years, but they still suffer from inborn deficiencies that are clear the moment you start using them (especially the Storm's 4.7 implementation), and S60 has a long, long way to go before it's up to speed. The only real competitor in terms of user-experience right now appears to be the Palm Pre, which capitalizes on many of the gains Apple pioneered and throws in a few tricks of its own, like those cards as well as a bigger emphasis on gestures.

A key innovation over the past couple years has been the emergence of capacitive touchscreens in mobile devices, which allow for lighter touch, greater display clarity, and true multitouch at the expense of stylus compatibility. The iPhone, webOS, and Android have all embraced the technology, but Windows Mobile and S60 aren't quite there yet, largely because they still make use of UI elements too small to accurately press with a human finger. To keep up, they'll need to get cranking on this over the coming versions. Of course, all of these platforms (save for webOS) can sport a virtual keyboard of some sort -- a technology particularly suited to a capacitive screen -- but we've yet to see a single one pull off a typing experience as solid as what Apple offers.

As good as they may be in stock form, both Apple and Palm leave users hanging if they want to customize -- hell, changing font sizes is taboo with the iPhone, much less a total reskinning of the interface. If you're into making your device all your own, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry are where you want to be; customization isn't just allowed with these platforms, it's practically encouraged. In fact, Microsoft pretty much touts the flexibility as a feature nowadays (a quick glance at this year's MWC offerings is proof of that).


Core functionality

Now here's a category where the operating systems really start to show their colors. While Apple is finally adding the promised -- but delayed -- push notification to its devices, it's still lagging far behind in some pretty important areas. First off: multitasking. Much like an original Palm OS device, Apple seems stuck in the past with its open-quit-open app switching scheme, which it claims is in the interest of preserving battery life. Windows Mobile, S60, Android, webOS, and BlackBerry all handle true multitasking, allowing you keep multiple apps open in the background. The push notifications will help, but nothing beats being able to return to an active app, particularly if you're doing something like loading a web page or using a map to get around.

Palm is smartly introducing a web-centric functionality called Synergy in its webOS, which allows you to pool contacts and calendars from disparate sources, while the iPhone OS, BlackBerry OS, Windows Mobile, S60, and Android still present mostly siloed options in that department (without some third-party involvement). Apple has made strides with its new calendar functionality -- CalDAV support, for example -- but it still doesn't present anything as revolutionary for dealing with scores of contacts. We do give the company marks for finally, mercifully, allowing users to share contact cards, however.

A big problem that Apple has yet to address with OS 3.0 is its obnoxious, obtrusive notifications. Where Android and webOS slide a handy "tray" into view to let you know you've got something incoming, the iPhone regularly piles on one notice after another, leaving you with a stacked, productivity-stalling, ugly mess of pop-ups. Apple, you kill this kind of annoying garbage in your browser -- why do you think users want it in their phone? Even older systems get this one more right than Apple does -- both Windows Mobile and the BlackBerry OS use a mixture of pop-ups and background notifications. It's perplexing that a company so concerned with usability and simplicity has done nothing to address the situation in three iterations of its software.



Third-party development

This is where Apple really shines. While Windows Mobile and S60 have had thriving developer bases for a while, no one has brought applications and app development to the forefront like Apple. It goes without saying that the company has revolutionized the way devs do business, and torn down dozens of barriers to entry in the process. No single company has made it easier for developers to create work (and profit from it) on a mobile platform. The new version of the iPhone OS seems designed to stoke that system, introducing 1,000 new APIs and allowing developers to offer things like in-game commerce and peer-to-peer networking.

Of course, the system isn't without its negatives, and Apple has endured more than its share of (deserved) critics of its opaque and sometimes unfair application approval process. While they say 96 percent of apps receive approval, we're fairly confident what gets left on the cutting room floor is hurting end users. Just think, with its current policies, you'll never see an Opera or Firefox browser for the device.

Regardless, other companies are currently playing catch up to Cupertino's game, with all of the major OSs offering some version of an application store now or in the near future. To date, none have been remotely as successful as Apple's outing, but none have the luxury of being tied to a pre-existing revenue stream like the iTunes Store -- and with the exception of Android's Market, they really haven't had time to marinate with the public. Only time will tell if companies like Palm, Google, and (gasp) Microsoft will be able to turn on the fire hose of development and go toe-to-toe with Apple.



Wrap up

Ultimately, there are loyalties and preferences that no chart can help you navigate. We won't go as far as saying it's a matter of choice -- we believe that the newer, younger operating systems offer far more than the aging ones can at this point (unless you absolutely need something like BES). In particular, the improvements Apple's made in its forthcoming update speak to many of the issues we've had since the platform's launch in 2007, patching a slew of flaws in its mobile OS, and making the advantages of something like Android or webOS (what we know of it) a little less obvious. That said, you won't find the open source freedom of the former, and there are a handful of innovations in the latter (yet to be roadtested, but extremely promising nonetheless). One thing is sure regardless of what side you throw your lot in with: the hype Apple created with its devices has spurred a space race in smartphones, and the end user is reaping the benefits.

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,[1] a few backronyms have been created for it.[2]

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



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

POSITIONING METHODS:

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.

I RECOMMEND TO USE (1) and (3) only Chargeable of 10 cent per connection for normal plan user and Free for unlimited data plan user /b]

OBSTACLES:

A number of factors can affect your phone's ability to obtain its GPS position:

(a) 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.

(b) 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.

(d) 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.

(e) 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.

Which map is better is up to the user's own opinion. Below are some facts that will help you judge. Comparison is based on MFM v1.45 vs MSM v2.30b.

* For Perlis, Kedah and Penang, MFM has more details than MSM as MSM is still using old maps from MFM mappers.
* For Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang, MFM has more details than MSM as MSM is still using old maps from MFM mappers.
* For Perak, MFM has more details than MSM as MSM is still using old maps from MFM mappers.
* For Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, MFM has more details than MSM as MSM is still using old maps from MFM mappers.
* For Negeri Sembilan, MFM has more details than MSM especially at Seremban and vicinity
* For Melaka, MFM has as much details as MSM in Melaka town. MFM is more up to date but may not have as many POIs. For smaller towns such as Masjid Tanah, MFM has more details.
* For Johor, MFM has as much details as MSM except in Batu Pahat. MSM has better coverage for Batu Pahat. MFM has more details for Segamat, Kluang, Muar and Ayer Hitam.
* For Sabah and Sarawak, MFM has less details and coverage than MSM. MFM's focus is on major town centres.
* For Singapore, MFM has less POIs than MSM.

1. Download the latest MFM/MSM map from previous Q&A
2. Install the map to your PC
3. Copy the .img file to replace the existing one it your garmin folder

p/s: Maybe you can back up the existing map in other folder first , coz latest one may causing some issue so can copy back

1. 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.

2. Functionality and Performance: If you do not have budget constraint, then go for the best hp in the market, despite the price is skyrocketing till 2k-3k... if you thinking about issit worth it or not... then you can go to next step...

3.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 i 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

1. 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)

2. 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.
