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

[fwwwn]

The next time you get a firmware update, it'll be included.

I have all the Nokia default themes in .sis format, i'll post them all on my blog if anyone wants?

Also if you change your product code and plug into NSU, it should update using your cache (i.e. instead of downloading a new firmware update, it will use the curreny v31.0.101 cache in your NSU folder)

Thanks. Changed my code to euro 1 black, 0573733, and busy updating to v40 now. If only I knew nokia was going to release new fw today...

before then figuring out what the best way will be to get all my contacts from my Samsung onto it....

Best is to sync to a computer and then sync back to the new phone. I went from D900 to 5800 this way, using apple's address book. Outlook should be able to do the same thing. After that you can sync over wifi to the ovi cloud for backing up numbers.

I use Google Calendar Sync to sync my Outlook to GCal, and then I sync my phone with Outlook. Worked a charm if you're willing to do it that way. Alternatively, there is an app (GCal) that you can run from your 5800 - or try the Mail for Exchange route, although I think at the moment that only supports GMail and Contacts.

Yep but nsu always redownloads the entire firmware. Including everything you already have and the updates. It then flashes your phone with this new complete software. It just delivers better results compared to ota that only downloads the updates and install them. This can cause conflicts and is why nokia prefer us using nsu.

This is the greatest firmware update. I haven't enjoyed my tube as much as i have in the last 2 hours

Kinetic scrolling in most places and a homescreen like the 5530, also much faster, really fun

What almost all touchscreen phones except the 5800 could do until now.
Better late than never :erm: Love my 5800 much more now

my update took longer than normal, it must be all the 5800's downloading the update at once ;D
