Installed !!
Working great, good job Nokia !!
With 5530 Theme much nicer

If i had the mini-qwerty in portrait mode, will it become full-screen qwerty when I rotate ?

Do you think that nokia is taking it seriusly with software updates or is it just an illusion of mine? I’m waiting to see which nokia will be getting full flash support and might get it.

Installed last night. Great homescreen, nice to finally have Kinetic scrolling – especially with a 16gb card full of music!

Ovi maps landscape support is a nice touch too.

Just updated to the new firmware (product code RM-356), had issues initially after restoration of text messages after the update. as soon as i restored the text messages, the home screen in contacts bar settings would not function as all the icons including charging bar and signal bar would disappear and the phone would slow down totally leaving no option but to restart the phone. Worked well in Basic and Shortcut Bar home screen but only after the restart.

looks like some kind of a compatibility problem. I’ve restored everything except text messages, working great now. I like the feel of kinetic and new home screen.

My phone says that no new update is available. Any idea whether this update is available in India?

@Manish – it all depends on the factory build of your phone. We’re still waiting for our update too, which is a little frustrating as we want to get our hands on it too!

i tried updating also but it still show the v31, when will it be available in the philippines?

can anyone tell when this update will b available i’hv searching it through…….my cell says no updates available

Has the V40 update been withdrawn? I have a generic UK black 0573730, upgraded two days ago to V40 via NSU and now checking the Nokia website, it shows only V31 as being available.

Strange…

Guys,

Nokia 5800 firmware update – v40.0.005

Is this update available In Mexico? where can I get it??

Hey got updated to V40 last night.The look and feel is good with some attractive UI, but presently not able to receive calls as it gets hung up whenever i try to accept a call.. so the basic feature of a phone is lost. The home screen has some enhanced graphics whenever there is an incoming call. supposed to touch a GREEN arrow to accept call.As soon as i do that te call gets cut and phone restarts.
Sadly i am moving back to my previous version as of now.

Yeh guys this 5800 Firmware Update Version v40.0.005 is available in india too. I have updated it through Nokia software updater today. Its working Great.This is one of the best update.
I love nokia.

i tried updating also but it still show the v31, when will it be available in the India ?

Very nice, just installed! congrats nokia on the first impressive firmware for 5800!!

I can\’t wait for the latest update!!! I\’ve check for my phone update, but sadly it indicating I\’m having the latest update, sigh… my software version is v31.0.101, type of RM-356. I just wondering how noknokia can update his/her phone?? I think it should take few months only latest update available.

Im in manila and i got mine updated yesterday…huge update! i like KS and the homescreen’s carousel contacts.

no update for me too, i still have v21, my region code is 0588681
v21 is very slow and buggy

@ noknokia: I have RM-356 and I can\’t get the update, lucky you O:

Guys try to update and have fun…

Regards,
Huzefa M Sultan

Managed to update the firmware last nite … now still struggling to get use to the kinetic scrolling and new homescreen. Major differences from the previous firmware this v40 … for example, alarm … i can’t get it to stop buzzing once the alarm went off this morning. Also, taking a call when the phone is locked was a real challenge. A couple of time, i got a missed called due to unable to take the call …

Really guys … this time is really different!!

same problem a lot of other people r facing. The Nokia software updater only shows v31 as the latest software update available. If anyone figures out the reason behind this problem plz post it here and let others know the solution.

@Salman. Nokia sends out its updates by factory code rather than by area or region – so your friend with the same phone next door may get an update ahead of you – it’s not the greatest system in the world but the update will rollout eventually.

@khan: try to remove your memory card and then start your phone.. it should work.. if it works then format your memory card from PC. and ya take backup of all stuffs… bye..

Does v40 support Chinese word? Just worry it support only western languages…

when it will be available in the philippines?i tried updating it but it still shows the version 31 that i already have.

Hi all.

Upgraded my 5800 last week, and now i think i have found an issue with the software.

I can’t play videos longer than about 3 minutes. Clips i have on the memory card which played just fine with earlier versions (20, 21 and 31). The moving image freeze about 3-4 minutes in to the video, audio playback continues.

Anyone else seen this?

I can\’t update my device (5800XM) from Indonesia.
Firmware shown is already up to date at current version 31.0.101.
I have tried update via PC-NSU and device *#0000#, but still can\’t update to version 40.
Please help me….

To update to version 40.0.05 you need to connect phone to PC and go through Nokia PC Suite, not available through the air yet.

This is very no good. Nokia should follow due process when they make a Global announcement that the new Map and free Navigate is possible on all their models 5800 XM included. But when I am checking I am finding that the Software Update is not available which is greater than 31.0.008 to make Free Navigation to work and this update is not yet released for India.

hi to everyone i hope i can update my phone becoz theres no V40 when i installed the 23 MB file… in the site ul see 40 but if i check the update to software update is still V 30…

pls help me.. any suggestion… tnx…

Philippines

Hey Mates,

I was about to install but a friend of mine told me that this update is still the beta version, or some kind of test release.. love the look and the feel of the new update. hope it v41 will releas soon with more stable and KS in webpages.

Cheers.

You can just download Nokia Software Updater to update your phone firmware into 40.0.005.
The latest NSU can be found in Nokia Europe download or via below url :
http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update
Then choose your mobile model like Nokia 5800 and you will be directed on NSU download with type of new updated firmware.

With NSU, you can update your device’s firmware into the latest by connecting your phone via usb cable into your computer/laptop. It’s easier than updating using your mobile phone because its size is great as about 144 Mb and you can download it using your computer/laptop as well as installing into your phone.

If problem still occurred, it might be from Nokia server that failed to synchronize it with new updated firmware on its database or might be from NSU that failed to synchronize it with Nokia server somewhere from Europe or from the US. But I have tried since a week ago or more if I am not mistaken and I could see version is latest which is 40.0.005, just i had to wait till weekend to download it from latest NSU.

Nb: Because internet traffic was so busy during the workdays so I had to wait till till Saturday on weekend that line is fast enough.

arrgh! still no available update here in my place (Quezon City, Philippines) does anyone know when will it be available? still version 31. i can’t wait to update my phone! but patience is a virtue.

Hi I was one guy who bought the earliest version of Nokia 5800xm (With TV out). My phone version is 21. I emailed Nokia about updating to version 40. They asked me to go to the Serivce centre for upgrade. On the web, when I enter my product code, I get the latest available version as 30. Iam confused. I will check with the service center guy & keep this post updated

strangely…some of the phones are already able to download the update..but im still waiting for mine…it is more than frustrating to wait for it, knowing that some people in my country can already enjoy the update..damn!!

I have updated to the new firmware….and…..WOW……..gr8. The new homescreen is awsome!! For those who are unable to answer calls……….just touch the answer button and scroll right (while getting incoming calls) and you will be able to take calls and answer.

Enjoy!!!

Still waiting… silver 5800 purchased sim-free and connected to three in UK.

For all those that cant update just change the productcode of your phone …search and you will find away

the nokia photoviewer has problems working with the newer firmware update 4.0 besides that every thing is fine .. i just uninstalled the photoviewer

Why there is no such thing as “Home style widget with Nokia 5530″. Im now a v40.0.005 still the same home screen…help..pls..tnx

Thanks Subhankar! Just the info I needed…. was about to get mad after updating cause the display no longer responded into the \"animated\" arrows to press and I couldn\’t answer the calls. Nokia have decided to add the \"iPhone factor\" – you have to slide the animations to have them working.
Same goes to the alarm…. even there you must slide the \"arrows\" to Stop or Snooze.

The home screen where you can now add more than 4 contacts is also great!

The only thing which doesn\’t work is GPS – software cannot connect
Hope there are no more bugs!

Boyla!…Homescreen of of V40 firmware is a theme-driven homescreen. You could still be able to use the old themes but the default was that of 5530.. So far, everything works fine.

If you can’t find update for your unit, that is caused by your product code. Just change your product and you’ll be able to receive the update when you try to update it with the new product code…

hi
i need help before i updated my phone for the new firmware
can i use any themes if i got the new firmware 40.0.005 on my phone????

thanks

hi guys, V40.0.005 update is dependent on product code which can be located under the battery compartment. If your product code is not supported, nokia server will not give you the update.

this website would help.

Guys, I have just updated the software to V 40.0.005. Finally we have got the kinetic Scrolling which is very helpful for the 8 and 16 GB cards. Also the home screen resembles to that of 5530. New feature includes the New OVI Map 3.0. Overall a satisfactory move by Nokia. Appreciate Nokia for hearing the pleas of all the 5800 users.

Friends from India, do not waste time on Over the Air update as it won’t work. You can simply visit the authorised ASC and get the version updated as was in my case.

don’t know if it is my imagination but i think with this new update the phone is eating up more power.

sat101 i followed the instructions, and managed to \"change the product code\". but when i run the NSU it only detects my current software version and tells me that \"there are no updates for your phone available\". I tried with various codes (like 3 or 4) and the result remained the same. I wonder if there is some additional options that need to be set properly or it\’s me who\’s doing something wrong? When i returned to the original Product Code afterwards the updates reappeared, but i couldnt update to 40.0.005 once again.

Only v30.0.011 in India..I don’t know why Nokia is delaying to release that in India..Even the cheaper phones like 5230 and samsung corby series, has kinetic scrolling and is much more stable than 5800..thats what irritating..Me,my friends who owns high-end Nokia mobile phones are not satisfied..since they are delaying we lost our interest in these phone and the phone becomes very old when they release latest firmware..no use..there is no value for our money..

I updated my 5800 (from bangalore ) with this new version 15 days back… every thing is superb. I guess it has also fixed the phone hanging issue i used to have before. I took some time for me to figure out how to answer a call when its locked.. but now i know that like the KS .. was the only thing my phone was missing…

hi,
i cannot update my 5800music express type RM-356 firmware, i currently using v 21.0.025 but nokia website says the latest version is 40.0.005. i was unable to update using *#0000#->options->check for updates. it says that no update available. i tried to update using nokia pc suit nokia software updater. ive updatet the nokia software updater using version 01.08.010.40008. and this software says im up to date but nokia website says im not.
what should i do?
by the way, my product code is: 0575378

im not sure about any other country, but for all of you in india the software update is only available at eh nokia care center……..so go for it…………

I love 5800 nokia

i also cannot update to v40…it say “no update available”
i try view the solution that sat101 post..but i not confidence to try it.
so have some one try it?? successful??

Look, if your phone is saying that there isn’t a newer update than V31 than it’s obvious that Nokia hasn’t officially released V40 for that model. This means if you put the pre-release update on your phone it is likely that it won’t be fully functional. So just wait for the official release and stop being so impatient.

Same problem here – Type RM-356 ans only shows update V3.1…just gonna have to wait until nokia pulls their fingers out!

Hey Rob!

It’s your mobile service provider’s fault that you can’t download it. You have to download a program (sorry i don’t know the name of the program) and with this stuff, you can change your mobile phone mobile service number (product code) to another one, which allow you to install the new firmware. after the install you change back the number and that’s all you can use your phone again with the new firmware!
http://thesymbianblog.com/2009/07/02/how-to-change-the-product-code-on-a-n97-nokia-5800/ there you can find everything about how you can do it! i hope this help you!

Was on T-Mobile V31, when checked via NSU V40 not available on T-Mobile. Update would probably be available around April/ May. Had to de-brand the handset via NSS (google it). V40 works perfectly now. Be aware de-branding may invalidate your warranty!

I purchase a Nokia XM 5800 RM356. (Srilanka) it s having the update v30.0.011. wgen i searched from phone it said “no update” . but after searchin from comp it said available version is – 31.0.101.
What has happened to V 40 ???

I WANT TO UPDATE MY NOKIA 5800 WITH V40 FIRMWARE ……………….IT IS AVAILABLE OR NOT ????? ITS SHOWING 30 FIRMWARE

Hi Guys,

I GOT IT TO WORK,

I also had a similar problem, i couldn’t update my firmware as i was on v31, and NSU kept on saying there are no updates. So i followed the suggestion made by @fusin, thanks man it worked, i downloaded the Nemises application on the url he sent and updated my phones product code, thereafter I used NSU to check for updates and it brought back v40 …. amazing.. get yourself one too

Now you have no excuse that you can’t update your phone

Regards

omg, i just updated my 5800, but nothing happened to my home screen ): kinetic scrolling works fine though. and i typed in *#0000# to check, and it said my current version is V4. please help mee ): i realy want the new home screen.

Hi! I want to buy a new Nokia 5800 in India. Is it coming preinstalled with the updated firmware version v40.0.005 or should I update it after purchase?

I am at present staying in USA and will return to India after a month. I am planning to buy Nokia 5800(unlocked) through Nokia online Store in the US to use it in India. Is it advisable to do so? Will the new phone come with updated firmware v40.0.005.

hi all;

i\’ve updated my software version too, and after reading the above comment, i find out that i have the same problem with ulwur

some clips can only be played for few seconds, and then the video freezes, while the sound keeps playing till the end

if there\’s no other one that have this symptom, perhaps something crashed when i was updating the software, and it\’s not the defect of the new software. by the way i updated my phone software from nokia care center, so i guess i\’ll go back there and try to solve the problem

beside of that, everything is cool and much better than the older version software

Well here\’s the thing i live in dubai but i simply cant get the update!! i have v 21.0.025 and its FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i want the new one 40!!!!
pls help

Hey, I updated my phone to 40, it`s brilliant but when I want to answer first I have to unlock by button then use screen button to silent or answer.

hi guys,

do you know when will the version 40 will be available to philippines?

Hi , It all depends on the Product Code of your mobile, All product code of 0575590 will have to wait for some more time before V40 can be updated. If you are having Product code 0573797 then u can easily get ur hands on this V40..till then tough luck

i dont have a product code of 0575590, but i cant able to update my version. damn it. i just brought this phone last week. because of kinectic scrolling.

I updated my 5800 and now it stays connected to my home wlan all the time, even if I exit the connection the phone just connects it again! I didn’t have this problem before. It connected to my home wlan only when I used applications that need internet.
I guess it’s not a big problem but it must use a lot of battery and I want to avoid that. How can I get it to end the connection (automatically) after I stop using the internet applications?

Hey Drew, If you already have a kinectic scorlling then you must have the latest version.. What version is your phone showing up?
For all.. For a new featured Phone, there is a new tech upgraded called “fota” which is the easiest way to upgrade you firmware.. In the little old models they do not have this tech … Till it comes enjoy with what you have

why i download the latest firmware but when i install to phone still the v30 version ?
