any feedback about the performance of this new FW?

like battery drains fast?

tnx

**foxhell** · Jun 19th, 2012, 10:07

Work only with last FW v60.0.003 perfect for me,you might need to update nokia ovi store and that's it.battery life much better than before.

**wravi** · Jun 20th, 2012, 04:57

what should i choose? is this correct?
cant find the right variants/code for my phone

Untitled.jpg

my 5800 had this fusion s^3 ultima v60.0.003 rm 356

its already installed when i got this handset..

so this is my first time to see this.
all i need is to improve my battery lifespan but will not change back the theme appearance of the phone.

sorry for lots of question.
anyway tnx for reply.

**foxhell** · Jun 20th, 2012, 08:52

you don't need navi FW option because you already has a right FW,all you gotta do it to flash you're cell phone with this FW and for those of you don't know how to choose right FW by using Navi FW program, just check the number back of your cellphone behind the battery or use *#0000# to know your model number and etc.

no need to sorry,ask 1000 time,just make sure don't make any wrong mistake while flashing your cellphone.

the initial theme of IDroid FW is excatly like in the pictures above,in order to use any other theme,you might need to download.

phone not found when i try to power on a little

**wravi** · Jun 22nd, 2012, 02:12

sorry for the last question.

i've done it! wow!

about the rom patcher is it ok if i add "auto" to all? because it's written in italian language and i cant understand it.

iDROID OS 9
MODEL: C6-00
Type RM-612

anyway tnx again!!

i'm very happy.

**foxhell** · Jun 22nd, 2012, 12:12

Glad to hear that you've done it.
about the rom patcher,enable them if you want it,i'm using patcher only some not all,that is why i'm enabling them manually and btw when you tab to any option without for enabling or disabling rom patcher or any where on the phone,a popup information display about that option,which help you to understand.
And i can't understand italian language either.

I hope your battery problem will be solved now as well as lot or free memory. Enjoy!!!

**wravi** · Jun 30th, 2012, 01:05

hello

where should i check my free memory ram?? not the phone memory. is it the D: on FExplorer?

mine is 42/42mb. but i've read that it should be around 128mb of ram? where is the rest?

and how many free memory ram is available to your handset?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

well it's increase to 46/46mb when i remove all the auto on rom patcher
and goes on 56/56mb after i remove 2 shortcuts on desktop screen.

**foxhell** · Jul 1st, 2012, 10:52

you can check your free memories by using activefile or fexplorer program like these,and Nokia 5800 has 128mb official Ram but phone need almost half Ram to Run,and if you install any program which required to run in background like any antivirus then obviously ram will be in use,like i said earlier I'm using patches only some not all because of Ram,as far as I see your having good enough Ram now,I mean 56mb great because if you look for other FW you'll see 56.3mb free after just installing FW.so it is great.
second about phone (c:/ drive Nokia 5800 official free user storage has only 81mb but now you'll should have 86mb which i think better that nonsense.
i hope this might clear you confusions,if you wanna know anything please ask freely. have fun

Hi,

this is 1st time i flashed my phone with custom firmware, its really great to get what i was missing on my 5800, thanks alot for such firmware, i really appreciate your work.

but in this version major problem is after installation i am unable to connect my phone via usb, though my phone is working fine, so kindly let me know how to solve this issue. thanks in advance.. and one more thing when phone is on charge then calll button green light remains on any way is there to keep it off??

**foxhell** · Jul 5th, 2012, 07:54

Hi hank. unfortunately i and nor anyone else had problem like you just told me,for me it is working absolutely fine,I suggest you should check your USB cable and the usb port on your computer first because even when we use same usb cable for for flashing the device,it is possible that cable can be conflicted somehow or the driver which we install can cause that problem too,if some sort of virus is creating the problem.
So first you try to change your USB cable,if this doesn't solve your problem then second try uninstalling all nokia OVI program including driver software too also JAF emulator including all flash tools too then reinstall OVI first and check if the problem solved or not.
also check in your cellphone setting connectivity USB setting-USB connection mode set to OVI Suite and Ask on connection set to YES.

About the Green light while charging battery,it is just a notification that your cellphone is charging battery,once your battery charged 100% the light will be off,i think it is really great because your battery will be more safer,it allow you to disconnect power; once it charged 100%,so your battery doesn't have die by keep on charging.

**wravi** · Jul 6th, 2012, 04:34

wow.. that's a great info about charging notification...

thanks again...
