NOKIA 5800 Tips Tricks & Apps Thread.....

Has anyone seen the 5800 on a contract special, a friend of mine wants to get one but doesn't have the spare cash to buy?
 
Gotta whack my 58 again, 4th time in 2 months i've had it...

Did a scandisk and it picked up some errors on the card. Few songs gone, apps missing.

Going to try format the card first then do a hard reset. Previous times i did a hard reset first, worth a shot?
 
LFC, go speak to Nokia. There's a nokia care shop in green point, I'm sure there must be more around the country.

remybfg10k, the phone is the default red model that came out when MTN first got stock. I wouldn't mind changing the product code to euro red 1 or whatever, but I can't find any apps for mac that does this.

Yeah will prob do that as a last resort. Closest one to me is at the Colony in Craighall.

Just completed the Format - Scandisk - Hard Reset

No errors came up on the scandisk this time, hoping it stays that way this time :)

I pulled out my memory card and slotted it into my pc (with a converter) still had issues with the data.

Format the memory card in full, switch your phone off, do a hard reset, rinse, repeat in a couple of weeks :p

I'm sure someone with a Tube in your area would gladly just do the product code change and the update (as it would be cached on their NSU)

Dumb question, are their no Windows emulators, or maybe a VM you could create with XP on?

Worst case is take it to your closest Nokia shop for the upgrade

You won't get v31 OTA, only through NSU, at least .8 should be available.

On MTN. I'm still on 30.0.011, from 26-06-09. Tried NSU the other day- nothing.

Will have to try again later- when did the new version come out? Anything I need to look out for before updating??

That is the latest on MTN. Those of us on a later version (I'm on 31.0.101) have likely changed our product codes to a Euro version.

I have VirtualBox installed but I don't have an XP disc with me, it's in stellenbosch. Blah, I could run the code changing software on the computer at work, but ultimately I'm just pissed off that MTN isn't playing ball. They were quick with the other updates. OTA is just so much easier and cheaper than NSU.
 
Sounds like the "latest" for MTN has been the same version since June :sick:

What are you Vodacom okes on??

Yeah. As mentioned previously, this update includes a change from Nokia Maps to OVI Maps - it's a huge update, and one that just can't be done OTA - no matter where in the world you are.
 
Ah ok. Guess I'll do it via NSU when I get the chance. Thanks, didn't know it can't be done OTA.
