Nokia 5800, Vanishing Applications

 Well ok, lets start a month ago, got this brand new phone, take it out, go on ovi store and install like 10 apps. Maybe 4-5 more later. So around 5 or 6 days ago i had like 15 apps. But suddenly, one day i went into Application and all my apps were gone, and all that was left was the basic apps from before.

 I had no idea what was going on, about 2 days after that, i found application manager, and i uninstalled everything and reinstalled it, worked for the night, next morning, get up and their all gone from Applications again, And reinstalling all of them isn't an option anymore.

Are you installing the apps to the memory card?

 

If so this could be a sign that your card is getting corrupted or is failing.

I would say that you do need to try another card, it looks like the cause.

 

To remove the card you have to push it in a little bit and it should then pop out.  It can be a bit stiff to remove.  See user guide for details.

 

Reformatting the card may help it to work again.

To take the memory card out of mine I have to press the on off button at the top and select remove memory card. 

 

Otherwise it won't allow me to remove it, it will allow me to press it so it pops out a little way

then 

 

press the on off button scroll to the bottom press remove e memory card

 

then

 

it will flash up remove e memory card? some applications will be closed

 

then

 

press ok,

 

phone will then - state-  closing applications will show for a second or two

 

then

 

another menu will show - but remember to remove the memory card prior to pressing ok

 

(the menu will say remoev E memory card and press ok - MAKE SURE THE MEMORY CARD IS OUT before pressing ok). 

 

If you press ok and haven't removed the card then you will have to start again with pressing the on off button.

 

Hope this helps.
