NOKIA 5800XM EARPIECE PROBLEM FIXED (Taken from youtube)
===============================
NOTE:DO AT YOUR OWN RISK....THIS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY IF DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT REPAIRING
VIDEO
=====
""""Fixing the problem with the earpiece which causes the volume to dramatically vary from high to low and the other way around during a phone call.
Again first of all you have to know that this could Void your phone Warranty. I don't know, I couldn't stand it so I've fixed it anyways lol.
note:- the last and most important part is not shown very clearly in the video because my camera's focus can't be adjusted so I can shoot the small parts I'm working on , so I'll try my best explaining it in words (please note that English is not my first language,Arabic is so bear with me here =P). After removing the earpiece as it's shown on the video , you will need to gently using a pretty thin tweezers or screwdriver to pull up (the two metal parts shown at the last pictures in the Video) pull them just a little bit till' you see that there is a gap between them and the Earpiece( The Picture I've taken is after fixing the earpiece .so That is how the piece should look like after fixing it = ) its important that you do it gently because you might end up breaking it. Now you are done all you need to do is to put back the Earpiece back to its place ( the letters and numbers at the bottom of the earpiece should be facing upside down just like the letters and numbers that are printed on where the earpiece will be attached (earpiece slot? I dunno)
Good luck and if you are having second thoughts you might as well take it to your local Nokia Care Center.
By the way this is my first Tutorial Video lol *that explains it =P """
NOTE: THIS IS NOT MY TUTORIAL ....BUT I TESTED AND ITS WORKED 100%-max_online32(Hem)
How to take photos on the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music(taken from allaboutsymbian)
======================================
Most phones have cheap cameras that use a technique called "fixed focus", which means the camera lens doesn't move. This lowers the quality of photos, because the camera cannot adjust its focus to match what you're taking a picture of.
The Nokia 5800 has a better type of camera called "autofocus", which allows the lens to move and automatically focus. Photos taken with auto focus cameras are generally much better than those from fixed focus cameras.
Photos on the 5800 are at their best if you use the various camera options to their fullest. Here's a quick guide to the main icons in the camera application:
Nokia 5800 camera application
The camera button is your friend!
=========================
The 5800's camera can be switched on by pressing the camera button on the right side of the phone. Once the camera application is running, pressing the button again takes the picture.
However, that's not all. Like a standalone camera, the 5800's camera button knows how far in you've pressed it, and if you only press it part-way the camera will focus without taking the picture.
When you want to take a picture on the 5800, first make sure the subject of the picture is in the middle of the square on the screen, then press the camera button in part-way until the square turns green and bleeps, which indicates the picture is in focus. When the square is green, press the button in the rest of the way to take the actual photo.
The image options box is also your friend!
===============================
The 5800's camera has most of the settings options you'd find on a standalone camera, and a number of preset modes for various different situations. All of these options and modes can be found in the options box, by selecting the icon that looks like horizontal lines.
