Nokia 5800: Major Firmware Update to v20.0.012
Posted by Norman John in 5800 XpressMusic, Firmware, Nokia
Finally the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music got it’s first major firmware update. V20.0.012 adds geo-tagging to the camera application, allows full device search and the usage of the front camera for self portraits. The update v20.0.0.12 can be downloaded via the Nokia Software Updater or straight from your 5800 by downloading it over the air. As the 5800 features User Data Preservation all data and information will stay on your device but it’s never bad to back-up all content.
Changes I’ve noticed so far:
- geo-tagging now available
- secondary camera now available
- Dictionary, Search and App. update have been added
- new icons for Podcast, Download!, Music and Switch
- Telephone’s keypad has a new design
- ‘Search’ searches for Internet content as well as for your content on your phone
- touch screen is improved
- bug fixes
Changes Rafe over from AAS noticed:
- general operation seems smoother, screen rotations faster
- playing back videos had less hiccups, especially on YouTube, where Web on the 5800 now becomes almost as good as a dedicated YouTube client
Below screenshots showing the changes:

and i try out to put it in a memory card reader on many pc’s but not working either, and then i update it to the latest version but it still the same.

i have problems with my WLAN… before update i can browse the web using WLAN… now after the update, though i can connect to the wifi hotspot but when i start browsing the browser says no gateway reply… did all the necessary things to reformat the phone but the problem persist…. what should i do sirs?
scratch my last problem out… it wasn’t because of the phone… it was because of my router… darn…
John, my problem is solved.
I did not know how, but if I have to recall, perhaps the following action I did made this problem disappear.
I setup my Nokia into original or default setting.
During this process my Nokia asks my pin numbers I have to fill/insert.
After that I did not notice any change except that return to the default setting.
Adakadabra a day later wen i use search menu, it works well and when i went to applications, i found that the ‘dictionary’ is there.
From another forum I found another answer to resolve this problem;
This is the quotation
A couple of people said that the search function returns an error. Mine did that also upon installation of the V.20 firmware update. There is a simple solution, a ‘hard’ reset by keying in *#7370# with the passcode being the default 12345. After this the search function worked fine. A word of warning before undertaking this. It will reset the phone completely and anything saved on the phone’s internal memory, (not the memory card) will be deleted which will include all contacts, calendars, sms and applications that are installed there. BACK THESE UP FIRST!
God bless!
Thanks a lot now every thing work good, when you do the reset (*#7370#) The search button starts workin and the dictionary is in the applications so if anyone is having a problem just do the reeset of the phone!))
Yeah, a reset does the trick for dictionary and Application Updates.
But it does NOT have to be a hard reset.
Instead, “soft” reset your phone by *#7780#
It will keep all data, only change the settings like changing your ringtone to default, changing wallpaper to default, etc.
Minimum changes to the phone.
However, the pre-loaded music files are still not playable after the firmware upgrade to 20.0.012.
Hope Nokia finds a way to get round the problem.
hey guys, i bought nokia 5800, 2 mnths back.

After I updated my Nokia 5800 firmware from 11.0.009 to 20.0.012 via Nokia Software Updater (NSU) this morning, I noticed the ‘Search’ at the home screen will always displaying “System Error” and I couldn’t find the ‘Dictionary’ application.
Luckily, I managed to correct these errors by installing Nokia Photo Browser (which is now available in beta version from Nokia Beta Labs website). After I have installed this application, the Search and Dictionary is now working very well.
You can contact me via my email: acapawn7[at]gmail[dot]com

What I meant in my previous post is, the “System error” and the missing ‘Dictionary’ can be fixed by installing any application in your handphone.. Cheers
I just recently updated my 5800xm firmware v11 to v20 and some changes are great!
Remember guys be sure to disable all locks (incl. keys) before you start updating, and update tru your pc via nsu..there’s no need to reset. hope that v21 will be out soon.

acaPAWN7 – You are the man!! Your suggestion brought in my dictionary and application updater straight away. I was so close to a hard reset which no doubt would have given me grief. Thank you.

Hello,
i have the same issue like Pratik? I have just updated my phone. The phone vibrates but doesn’t display nothing.
Can you help?
Regards.
Also my phone is vibrating all the time after an update. Can’t start it anymore.
Updated to The version 20.0.012.. The .DCF files wont open.
Any way to solve this problem? Most of the Nokia inbuilt files are with the *.DCF extention.

guys the best thing to do is go to the nearest Nokia Care showroom to update the software on your phone..In this way the inbuilt .dcf files will work and moreover they do it for free under warranty..And those who have already updated the sw themselves to v20 or v21 can still go to the nokia service center and they will do the needful to make the .dcf files play…I had also asked the nokia person if I can talk to their technician so as to what else he did(other than the update) to make these files play but they did not let me talk to them
…so i cant post the solution other than ask u to visit thr service center….Hope it helps u….
Cheers
