Nokia 5800 XpressMusic support

Answers to important questions about   Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

  • What should I do if my Nokia device is lost or stolen?

Contact your operator or service provider immediately:

  1. To block your SIM card.
  2. To block your device (HW, IMEI code) to prevent it being used in the operator networks with any other SIM cards.

Note that you need to contact your operator or service provider in these cases. Nokia customer support doesn't have the possibility to block the SIM card or the device, or track a stolen device.

To minimize the risks caused by the theft or loss of the device, there are some security features which you can enable in your device:

  1. If your device supports phone autolock or security keyguard and you have turned it on, the phone cannot be accessed without entering a correct lock code. When enabling the autolock feature, it is important that you change the default lock or security code (12345) to your own lock code and don't forget this code.
  2. Some Nokia devices support also remote locking. If you have enabled this feature, you can send a pre-defined text message to your device and lock it remotely. The device is locked if it is switched on and has your SIM card in it.

Note that the phone autolocking and remote locking cannot be enabled after the device has been lost, so it is important that you enable these security features already when taking the device in use.

  • I get 'no gateway reply' error message during WLAN connection. What can I do?

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) error 'No gateway reply' may occur for various reasons, for example because of mismatching WLAN settings between the mobile device and the WLAN network.

To fix the problem, you can try the following:

  1. Check that your device has SIM card properly inserted and that the device is not in the offline mode. When in offline mode, the device has limited WLAN functionality and may not find e.g. the hidden WLAN networks.
  2. Check that you are under the coverage of the WLAN network. Enable 'Show WLAN availability' in the Wireless LAN settings of the device. When this setting is enabled, you should be able to see an indication when a WLAN network is available. You can also use the Connection mgr. or WLAN tool in your device to check which WLAN networks your device is currently seeing. 
  3. Check that the WLAN access point is properly configured in the connectivity settings of your device and that the WLAN security settings match with the settings of your WLAN network. The WLAN networks are typically configured with some sort of security enabled (WEP, 802.1x, WPA/WPA2) and it is important that the corresponding security settings are defined in your mobile device.
  4. If you have other devices already successfully connecting through WLAN, check and compare that the same WLAN security settings are used in your mobile device.
  5. Check that the correct access point is used when trying to connect to WLAN. Go to the web browser settings and select the WLAN access point or destination which has been defined in your device. Try to connect to a web site and check with the Connection mgr. tool if the WLAN connection becomes active.
  6. If your device is using destinations (groups of access points) instead of single access points in the connectivity settings, check that the WLAN access point is at the top of the list in the destination settings (otherwise the device will try to connect through an access point which is higher up in the priority list). 
  7. If you are not able to connect to WLAN even though the WLAN settings are properly configured, reset the WLAN access point (WLAN router) to default (factory) settings and begin defining the wireless network again so that there are no security features, no hidden ssid, no mac filtering, etc. This way you can troubleshoot at which point the gateway error appears.
  8. Disable Bluetooth connectivity in your device while being connected to WLAN. Bluetooth and WLAN operate on the same frequency range and may interfere with each other.
  9. Restore(reset) your mobile device back to original (factory) settings. You can do this from general settings of your device. Please see more detailed instructions from your device user guide. Note: It is recommended to backup the device before resetting it.

 

 

Note that the message 'No gateway reply' may occur also because of some temporary network problems, for example when under poor WLAN coverage or when there's some issues or delays at the web server side. In these cases, check that you are under the WLAN coverage area and try the connection again.
