Nokia 5800 Menu display color change issue

April 28th, 2009

Well, Nokia 5800 is cool, but equally buggy. I had posted the earpiece volume problem on my Nokia 5800, then my Xpressmusic’s touchscreen got scratches within one month of use, I didn’t scratch it purposely, but used the stylus provided by Nokia in the usual way..

Here is another one in the list.. (sadly)

I upgraded my phone’s firmware to 20.0.012, then started this typical issue. While in use, the colour of menu buttons change once in a while, it can be greenish yellow, greyish yellow and things linke that different from the color which we see usually. The colour then gets back to the initial one within a couple of seconds.

I also noticed that this happens usually while working with an application which try to use some phone resources.

Well, I am not the only one who face this issue, there are many more facing similar issues? Is this a hardware issue or a firmware issue? No one has a clear idea, no clarifications from Nokia about this.

I called up Nokia care and explained this issue. They do not have any information on this, they asked me to bring the phone. Well, I do not want to keep the phone with them for some days for them to experiment, that too within 30-40 days from purchase.

Are you the one facing this issue? Please post when and how you are able to see the colour change, may be that can help us find a common solution.

For someone who is planning to buy Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic, WAIT!! Let Nokia fix all these issues, else you join us debugging this phone, I am not saying this phone is bad, but are you ready to feel some headaches too??

[UPDATE] Nokia replaced my 5800 Xpressmusic !

    It looked like a hardware problem for me. Take it to Nokia care, if they cannot repair, they will replace, so two weeks or whatever, try for that.
