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.

New firmware for Nokia 5800 available as FOTA update

Nokia 5800 FW v50.0.005
Now Available As FOTA Update!

Nokia 5800 Just want to give everyone a quick heads up that latest firmware update (v50.0.005) for company’s bestselling fulltouch screen Smartphone is now regularly available for most of the generic Euro codes as 'Over The Air' update and as usually, it should be progressively available at the Nokia service points and available through the NSU as well.

The new firmware is meant to provide further performance improvements and new functionalities to the handset, and it is already available for most of the generic European and Asian product codes.

There is no detailed change log at the moment and I can't see any noticeable changes or improvements but as you would imagine, the firmware update is always recommended as it usually brings improvements in performance and optimizes the functionality of the phone across many applications.

Nokia 5800 has the UDP but it is anyway highly suggestible to back up your phone memory before performing a firmware update just as precaution measure in case something goes wrong.
It seems that firmware still isn't widely available so please report if it is available for your product code especially if you notice any major changes over at our forum section.
UPDATE:
There is an unofficial change log over at our forum section ;)

As with all software releases, note that your mobile service provider, operator, or carrier may not have approved this release. Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants have the latest Nokia device firmware. It is our priority to update all variants as quickly as possible.

5800 XM firmware update v31.0.008 using NSU

Latest firmware released for Nokia 5800 XM v31.0.008. Only available throught Nokia Software Updater for most of the generic product codes from EMEA and APAC region and is expected to be available for the rest of the world as well as for NAM and branded devices shortly.

Unfortunately it is not available as FOTA update which is by the way the best and the fastest possible way of delivering software updates. So quite a disappointment. The file size will be around 144.4 MB and you need fast internet before downloading. Make sure you have stable internet connection before downloading as you will feel the pain of time wasting when your internet connection drop and you need to start over again.

There is no detailed change log at the moment and I can't see any noticeable changes or improvements but as you would imagine, the firmware update is always recommended as it usually brings improvements in performance and optimizes the functionality of the phone across many applications.

Unfortunately there is no eagerly awaited kinectic scrolling but a cording to the NSU team, the latest software update comes with a new version of Ovi Maps, which offers improved maps and enhanced pedestrian and drive navigation. Additionally, the software release includes several performance improvements and that's it!!!!

Oh yes, one more thing, Nokia 5800 comes with native UDP support but it is anyway highly suggestible to back up your phone memory before performing a firmware update as precaution measure in case something goes wrong.
