I guess its facing power issues on that USB port. Try connecting it to a USB Port on the rear side of the CPU[ the ones that are directly connected to the Motherboard]. I guess U are connecting to ports on the front bottom of the PC.These are like extension ports that work well for USB thumb drives and other USB devices of lower power requirement. Another thing U wud like to look into will be if UR USB ports are USB 2.0. Although not a necessity, it is better to have them for faster access times. If you are working on an old machine or a Laptop it is advisable to try this out on a relatively new machine that is kinda State-Of-The-Art. Think of an Office PC where U wont be plagued by problems like Power-Cuts or a failing/slow Internet Connection.

I have a Blue Set that I recently updated and it seemed to go through fine. It mentioned that the Update was about 123MB in size which was very surprising. Yeah, the phone feels faster and like most others mention, the preloaded music gets locked up. Strangely some of my Playlists I had created earlier also dont seem to work now.

All the best with the update.

I am not able to update my new Nokia 5800xm from version v11 to v20 using Nokia Software Updater. I get a message :
“Software update failed
For optimum connectivity, your USB cable should be connected directly to the PC, and not via a USB hub, USB keyboard or laptop docking station.”
-though i use USB cable.

Please help…

Yes, I am having the same problem with my 5800 Xpressmusic Red phone as Hrishikesh said. the up and downs of Volume all times. i think it's a problem with the phone hardware and there is nothing related with the software. but i am not sure about that. anyway, let me update the firmware and i will let you all know. thanks

the 5800 is an overhyped and totally f—-d up product. nokia is becoming a crook like the rest of the cell phone brands. SE sucks, Moto sucks, SAM sucks. I should know, ive tried those brands and i also have the shitty 5800 (irratically slow and unresponsive). So far the n95 8gb that i have is better than all the other crap nokia is producing (although it has a few shortcomings that can be overlooked) . Nokia’s music mngt totally sucks – SE music mngt is 1000 times better. SAMs’ dont have stereo widening and adjustable eq and bass boost. We are all monkeys dancing to their tunes and falling victim to their marketing magic. Hopfully one of them will wisen up and product something really versatile, high tech and with a plethora of useful and commonsensical functions.

The voicemail bug is definitely happening on my blue Nokia 5800XM as well. I have added it as a contact for now, but I hope this gets fixed.

Another problem I have spotted (although it happens only when the battery is half full) – In contacts, the groups tab next to ABC doesn’t click or allow a finger press or a stylus press. The same thing happens in the Bluetooth screen. I can’t press down on Paired Devices or Blocked Devices. (only Bluetooth menu works). Both problems occur in vertical or horizontal mode.

I wonder how color of the Phone matters for a Firmware Update?!?!? :-O
One other thing. I have seen lotsa people facing this problem of the Pre-Loaded content getting locked after performing the upgrade or resetting to Factory Settings. Does removing the Card before performing the upgrade/resetting to Factory settings help???
Im in India, by the way, and there dont seem to be any updates available yet…….. Not even the 11.0.009!!!

I have the a red one and unfortunately I have experienced Hrishikesh’s prob. Just tried updating my firmware to 009 but NOKIA PHILIPPINES doesnt have the update yet. Will this update cure the prob? Can I get the update from Nokia Europe or wherever it may be available? Thanks
