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.

v50.0.005 thats your firmware version. just updated mine from v50 to v52, DAMN! my phone’s fast!
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
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?
I updated mine last week to V. 50.0.005 via FOTA but I still didn’t get the 5530’s homescreen. :(
The phone’s UI was faster and more responsive though. :D 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.
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.
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.

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.
Thanks sir for the info on qwerty keyboard.
I got another problem, my phone cann’t detect gps signal, is anybody experiencing this difficulty?

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.
thanks, hope someone can reply to my question.
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.
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 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.
BWAHAHAHAHA!just updated mine from v31 to v50 via FOTA… dial *#0000# tas check for updates… FAST, KINETIC SROLLING is KEWL!
