Hello! Are you a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic owner? Please take the quick survey here!
I’ve already been getting emails and comments from readers on how to get the latest firmware update for their Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Unfortunately, the announcement yesterday by Nokia does not include handsets released in the Philippines.
Though this was not included in the original press release sent by Nokia Global office, the local reps have stated that:
Nokia Finland sent out a news release today regarding a software update for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. However, this particular update will not yet work for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic devices sold in the Philippines.
And though they did not say why, it could be one of several things — it’s specific to a region or carrier or the bug fixes included were for models with different chip components (remember the news last month that Nokia was replacing the defective speakers?).
There’s no specific date when the Nokia 5800 for the Philippines will get its firmware update. I personally am waiting for it since last month. I am not also sure what will happen if you still opt to use that update for your phone. If you bought your handset outside the country, like Hong Kong for example, it may not also apply.
It’s been 3 months since the release of v40.0.005. Then it was followed shortly by v50.0.005. Yet right now I’m still running v31.0.101.
This is getting so frustrating to the point wherein I already gave myself a personal deadline. If there’s still firmware drought until 15th of May I’ll buy myself another phone. *sigh*
(Actually, it’s an excuse to treat myself to a new phone. Got my sights on the internet-tablet-phone N900 XD)
Hello!
I’be been waiting for so long for my phone to have the available firmware update.. But it’s been months now and there is still no v40 for my product code, and now there is even v50!
now I’m thinking of changing the product code of my 5800 
(
HELP!:) to what product code should I change mine to? Originally its a red 5800 with code 0578218.
THANKS!
Love the new firmware…
@ jecs
Normal lng nman po un nddisconnect and ngrerestart kpg nguupdate ka. wag mo iddisconnect ung usb connector kz mccra yan phone m. Ganun kz ngyari sa n73 ko.
@ karen
Latest available software for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, product code 0578218
Version: 31.0.101
Reasons why a phone cannot update:
1. It is a country variant – country variants often get the updates later, or have updates skipped altogether. A Turkish country variant product code for example, skipped v40 and updated from v31 straight to v50.
2. It is network branded – phones acquired from network providers or these providers’ stores SIM free are branded, and will not get updates until the networks approve and modify the updates to their liking.
3. Special editions – These special editions are chartered editions and may never get updates unless taken to a Nokia Care center.

I changed my product code last night to 0573860 – APAC2 BLACK SOUTH ASIA (for my S.Black 5800) for the v50.0.005 product code (then changed it back to the original product code after updating).
Everything seems to be A-OK.

I successfully updated my firmware to v50 as well, I just followed on through jobzky’s blogspot site. I changed my product code to 0559054 (Euro1 ALPS RED) and now I’m satisfied with my phone more than ever!
kahit anong product code naman po pwedeng gamitin =)
BWAHAHAHAHA!just updated mine from v31 to v50 via FOTA… dial *#0000# tas check for updates… FAST, KINETIC SROLLING is KEWL!
I just updated my phone to v50.0.005 via NSU. Everything works fine except for the WiFi – I always get an “Invalid Server Name” error with the Web browser no matter how I configure my home network.
i tried updating mine, done with the 150mb file download, but i always get the device recovery error ,and the NSU tells me that it has lost connection to the device, i tried it to reconnect it a million times but that nothing seems to work ,, has anyone ever had this problem ?..
I got the WiFi problem sorted out. Windows 7 seemed to handle ad-hoc networks differently, so I had to set up XP on VirtualBox to serve as my improvised “router.” WiFi now works great, I’m loving the N97 browser, and I’m halfway through my Skype download
No major problems encountered with the firmware so far.
Mga sir help, I just update to ver50, I notice the full querty keyboard is missing. Does anybody had the same problem? How can I reinstall the full querty again? bec. it is very useful.

Restore factory settings
or
Reset your device
1. Switch off the device.
2. Remove the battery.
3. After a few seconds, re-insert the battery, and switch on the device.
Or maybe your phone sensor is disable
Go to Settings>Phone>Sensor Settings>Turning control then check the auto rotate display. make sure your sensor is turned ON.
then start writing a message and rotate the phone horizontaly and then press on the screen to write something it will show u Full qwerty keyboard.
Thanks sir for the info on qwerty keyboard.
I got another problem, my phone cann’t detect gps signal, is anybody experiencing this difficulty?

Satellite signals cannot penetrate buildings, so GPS satellite signals will be difficult or impossible to receive if you are indoors and away from windows. If you want to speed up the process of GPS showing your location, take the phone outside or place the phone next to a large window with a good view of the sky.
And it requires network connection you should have data plan to use the application.
Hi, can you help me update my firmware? Is it already available in the Philippines without having the need to do some other manipulations not authorized or advised by Nokia?
Thanks a lot.
nevermind, I was able to update it to v50 via nokia ovi pc suite. I recommend you use this method too, as you can backup your files in case something happens.
I updated mine last week to V. 50.0.005 via FOTA but I still didn’t get the 5530′s homescreen.
May question lang ako, kasi when I’m trying to update my classmate’s 5800 via FOTA biglang parang nagcrash yung software. Nagloloko na bigla pero nawala naman nung nag hard-reset ako.
The phone’s UI was faster and more responsive though.
You can get the same home screen as 5530′s. Just go to:
Settings -> Personal -> Home Screen -> Home Screen Theme -> then you can choose the “contacts bar”. When you choose that, the contacts bar would appear on the upper part of the home page, and your shortcuts will still be there on the lower part.
Hmm siguro mas safe if you update through the PC via Nokia Ovi Suite. That’s what I did.
Did you notice any decline in battery power?
guys is software the same as the firmware sa nokia 5800 kasi nung nag *#0000# ako, ang naka lagay sa akin eh software version v50.0.005 di ko nakita ung fireware version pano ba ito makikita? thanks
