Nokia 5800 - Part 2

[vyncent]

Can i know 5800 connect to signal speed how long ?
navigation hav delay?
thx.

i assume that you are talking about TTFF (time to first fix) on a cold start. Basically with A-GPS on, should able to lock satellite < 1 minute. While with A-GPS turn off, may take up to 20minutes or more which depends on clear weather, open air conditions.

Navigation wise 5800 will have screen refresh rate of 1~2 seconds.

Each satellite fix consumes < 10kB, so please refer to your tel. operator for GPRS charge rate.

Well, if you always traveling, suggest you go for Garmin device. Garmin device offers bigger screen for comfortable view. Refresh rate and map browsing definitely faster than 5800.

However if you looking for "all-in-one" device, then consider 5800.

How about own both

Bro koayhk,

The firmware can be downgraded to lower version but at your own risk. You have to use third party software for downgrade. Furthermore, you may void the manufacturer warranty.

1) alarm is known to be delay 1~4 minute from preset alarm time.
2) I do not have this issue instead mine one cannot automatically update even if set to auto update. I guess this feature is network dependent. You are using which network operator?
3) Garmin may get hang when browsing the map. No solution for the moment.
4) Can you share with us a screen snap of those 'lines". There are few light colored horizontal lines which is a separator between homescreen widget.

with a cloudy day sometimes in the open, a couple of mins can get connected too

So far using firmware v31.0.101 and no issue with alarm or GMXT at all. It is better to hard reset after the firmware update even there is not required to do so. Most of the time i disable the A-GPS and i still can lock satellite within 1 to 2 minutes. Sometimes it happened more than 2 minutes, but most of the time within 2 minutes. And my GMXT today got 10 satellites lock signal in the rain, when driving from subang jaya to PJ.

are u sure we need a hard reset?

Hard Reset
Hard reset only works if you had previously updated the phone to v20. Please make backup before applying this type of reset, since it will restore the phone’s settings as well as erasing all the data in the phone memory.

1.Switch off the phone.
2.Press GREEN + RED + CAMERA + ON simultaneously until you see the “Select Country” option.
