Nokia 5800XM Internal Browser Issue

I notice that 5800XM built-in browser seems better then those opera mini or some other browser out there. Maybe it's me but I still using the built-in browser. Here are some useful tip that are useful to make this built-in browser good as new..

here 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

Proper Nokia PC Suite, NSU and Maps Loader Pre-Installation

The very proper way to install Nokia stuffs without error is .. use PC Suite Cleaner to remove old Nokia stuffs completely and manually DELETE the entire Nokia folder in C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files\Common Files and also C:\Documents and Settings\Your PC Username\Application Data\Nokia (If have installed previously). Then restart computer.
1. Install Nokia PC Suite (make sure u have handy usbser.sys, usbser_lowerflt.sys and usbser_lowerfltj.sys)2. Connect phone when asked, and the installer will install all necessary stuffs including MTP Device Support.
3. Install Nokia Software Updater.
4. Install Nokia Maps Loader.
5. Download Nokia USB Support Files http://www.2shared.com/file/12048525/7e6c4...port_Files.html

Restart the computer immediately once done, dont continue ure other works ..

Additional tips to save system resources, remove all NOKIA related startups using CCleaner (be familiar with it, this is a very good system advisor stuff)

You can always START and STOP the servicelayer.exe (the only needed stuff for Nokia apps to work n detect the phone), make sure you START the service before launching Nokia applications such as PC Suite, OVI or even NSU.

Hang or problem during firmware update on your 5800 XM?

I had couple of friends having trouble with their 5800 XM after software update to v30.

1. Phone Keep on restart.
2. Unable to key in pincode
3. Hang in the middle of update
4. etc..


Well, you guys can try this.

1. Take out the memory card, reboot your phone and then put back the memory card
2. Doesn't work?..Try take out your battery, press power button for 30 sec, and put back your battery, and reboot
3. Still doesn't work..so no choice,..take out your battery, perform a hard reset. (hard reset your phone by off it, hold camera button+red button+ green button and reboot. wait for nokia handshake screen before release all the button)

IF still doesn't help, well, sent to Nokia SC to help claim warranty..I believe all 5800 users in Malaysia still have warranty on their phone as this phone just release end of last year..

enjoy!

4x5 menu on your 5800 XM

Probably most of you guys know about this, well I post to who that don't know..:))..

Just found out how to display 5800 menu 4x5. Meaning that you have 20 item on your menu at one time instead of 3x4 (12 item on your menu)..The downside about this is it doesn't shows you any label on each icon. You need to really know your icon..

Just go to Menu>Settings>Phone>Display>Font Size>Small



So EnJOY!!..Do Comment..:D

How to save my 5800 XM battery life....

It's been a while since my last post..caught up with work...so here goes...

A lot of cellphone enthusiast actually try to find a phone that can last them for days before they run out of battery rather then only can last for a day. Since I bought my 5800 XM, 2 of my colleague bought the same phone just few weeks ago. One of my colleague complaining that the battery only last for a day. Well, here are some tips I discover and want to share with all of 5800 users. We can't expect to much on this phone as it has TFT screen with 16M colors with 3.2" wide screen. More than we can bargain for right?

I know you will find a lot of forums on this topics, but I would like to jot down using my experience on saving my battery..

1. Fully charge you battery everyday..:)
Easiest thing, if you are afraid of running out of battery, always make sure that your 5800 battery is fully charge all the time. If you are on the go, just bring extra battery or using those "wireless" charger available in Malaysia. But don't worry about draining your battery out till it's last drop before charging it, as lithium battery can handle to be charge anytime.

2. Don't switch off your phone.
When you switch off and boot up your phone, it drain your battery faster. I had experience this before where I switch off my phone as the place I go do not have any telco coverage, hoping to save battery. It the end, I end up using my phone less than 2 days. Everytime you off and boot up your phone, it used the most power from your battery. So nowadays, I just put on offline mode if no telco coverage. When offline mode, your battery can last longer.

3. Used GSM instead of Dual Mode.
I had tried this option this week and after 2 days, my battery still showing 5 bar. I had used calling aggresively ( 30+30 minutes talking with my gf), heavy sms, phone torch, playing games, etc..To change the options, select Settings> Connectivity>Network>Network Mode>GSM..


4. Wifi/Bluetooth to be switch off
Make sure your bluetooth and wifi connection are closed. For wifi connection, make sure your "Shows WLAN availability" is set to Never so it will never scan and wireless available and drain your battery out.



5. Setting your display light at the minimum
It will be a bit inconvenient to see when you are in direct sunlight, but at least it will save and prolong your battery life..:)
To set go to Settings>Phone> Display>Light Sensor>Minimum. And also set you Light time-out as minimum as possible. I set it to 15 seconds.



6. Will update more later..since I so sleepy...:D
