Apart from this problem, the OS is pretty good. No crash, hang or slowdowns.... that is what is making me think twice about going for a reinstall...

I disabled antivirus and firewall as soon as I encountered the problem the first time...

So seems like reinstall if not clean install seems to be the way out.... but only one problem... my DVD drive is dead!! :mad: :mad:

Hows the GPS working out for you guys?

I feel something is wrong with mine.. it takes about 5-10 minutes to get a location fix even when i am standing in open space.
It alternates between 3 satellites to 4 most of the times at Navi Mumbai and the signal drops far too often when i am making a trip to anywhere..

A-GPS and network enabled on v20 firmware.

5 -10mins is normal for a cold start. After that it tracks the satellites easily.

IF you have a GPRS connection then the lock would just take 5-20secs by using info from nokia servers.

When you said you are making trip are you inside a car?

Also when you have GPRS conn this will not be there

A-GPS is on so is my GPRS connection, and i do notice data being transferred, so yes something is going on. But i can most definitely say that the lock takes more than 5 -20 secs cold start or not.
Plus it makes no difference whether its car,bus or standing in a open parking lot.. never seen less than 5 minutes to a lock yet.
 
It looks like nokia is using inferiour quality gps chips in these new devices like n85 , 5800, n79 etc. I just recently went from n85 to my trusty n82. With n85 i never got a proper satellite lock even after using agps. But with n82 i get the lock within 10 seconds flat.Something surely wrong with these new devices.

Even without agps the lock time is same as 5-10 seconds ..

hmm.. using A-GPS it takes only 10secs to acquire lock in my 5800. Could you try with another GPS phone or another 5800 to find out that there is no specific issue on your phone?

Well, i dont have a GPS device around, which is why i posted here to check if this is normal or not :). and looks like it isnt..

Anyways, seems that the v21 firmware is out.. atleast for HK variant of the nokia 5800. Lets hope it lands in India soon enough.
 
CONFIRMED features of new v21.0.025 so far,

* You can set up breathing lights (intervals and which things they should let you know) (missed calls - new sms - new e-mail)

so, wat do u guys say, is it worth to upgrade to v21 ???
 
I made the jump. Was around 2MB , the upgrade. happened in 10 min. Seems pretty much teh same except the notification lights and the icons. Will check Camera IQ 2moro.
 
Updated mine and everything seems fine .. update was small though, hardly 4 mb, so dont expect any major change .. maybe v30 in the making :p ..

~67 MB ram free at start, and phone mem. was ~77 MB, theme effects are faster now ..

PS : There was a v21 out before these for HK one's, which was immediately pulled off for some unknown reason. Maybe the guy who faced the bugs updated the firmware then ..
 
Updated my fone from 11 to 21 .. Looking much better the search feature is enhanced ..the tabs in msging are revolving and much bigger ..the alphabets in qwerty are bigger ... Fone is faster than before .. Bit of new icons as well ... New music and downloads icon are looking nice ... FOTA Upgrade itself was really easy .. Mine was 12mb ...
 
Maybe 12mb coz you had a total upgrade from 11 to 21. we just jumped from 20 to 21 so only 2mb.

One feature which is still missing and was hyped about with rumors before the FW was released is the on-screene touch Menu button, which is so required. Hope they add it soon.
