see the screen below :P

Barcode Reader for 5800
download your barcode reader from here! quite nice, after installation, it will startup by itself, and you will see a little camera box.. see below for screen.
how i used to read the 1D barcode (the long one with lotsa bars) is firstly, i went to Options, then 2D/1D, then i selected 1D. then a smaller camera box will appear. then just hover over the barcode (make sure the barcode is in the middle), and click and hold on the camera button to focus (once you get a nice image, let go), and wait till it reads successfuly the barcode. then it will popup a message asking whether you wan to go to the site using the barcode you read. if you select yes, it will open up the site with the barcode, or if you choose no, it will copy the code into clipboard, which you can copy to your Notes (Menu, Applications, Notes) program in your phone.
for 2D barcodes, leave the settings as it is, then just place the barcode picture WITHIN the yellow box, right in the middle of the screen. it will capture it and does the same thing as above. it will display out the text that is captured, and there is an option to Copy the text to clipboard. Click on Camera to go back to the capturing screen.
below are two examples of barcode for your testing...
2D barcode, which will redirect you to the nokia browser, and head you to a website :P check it out to see which website it goes to!
1D barcode, which will give you a series of numbers as a result, and copy it to the clipboard.

finally, just click on the Convert/Record button at the bottom right of the screen. it will start ripping the DVD, just wait till its finished, and your file will be located at C:\Program Files\DVDx.

Missing emails in Thunderbird!!!
there was once, i got this error "Inbox.msf has something something build something something error". then i restarted thunderbird, and pooof, more than 80% of my emails were missing. crap?
well the first thing i thought of was, probably its just the build index summary listing thingy. so i right click on Inbox, then went to Properties. then i clicked on Rebuild Index, it would take some time if you have lotsa mails, but after finishing rebuilding the email list, poof! all my emails came back :P hope this helps some people who got the same problem as me :P

Garmin Mobile XT Crashing?
sometimes it will crash or hang, and you might need to press the white button (menu button on 5800) to minimize garmin. sometimes it may just be slow, or lagging, so you can also wait it out.. and sometimes you just can't wait, so you just remove the battery to restart the phone.
well, ive had those symptoms of hanging and lagging before. so ill just list down what i checked in order to "fix" the problem.
firstly, try to use the lite version of malaysia/singapore maps. the one named MFMv151 usually is big, and packed with lotsa stuff, so it tends to hang, especially when loading/browsing the map. so i would recommend download the lite version, and replace it with your normal gmappsupp.img file generated from e.g. MFMv150.exe file. make sure you make a backup before attempting to replace the file..
disable turn preview, by going to Tools, Settings, Routing, Turn Preview and set it to Disabled.

Sony Erricsson - White screen of death, Updating Sony Erricsson phone
what happened to my phone?!??!? when starting up/powering up, it just shows a white screen...
don't be afraid, theres an easy solution for it... firmware update. download MyPhone Explorer, and connect your phone. Install it as usual, and run MyPhone Explorer. then Save your contents of your phone to a directory to backup your contents. Then you can also download and install Sony Erricsson PC Suite and use this as the second backup solution. run it and Backup your contents to your PC by synching to your PC. When you need to restore, just use MyPhone Explorer to restore. why i listed down 2 methods to backup is because Sony Erricsson PC Suite doesn't backup ALL the contents, but MyPhone Explorer does. So PC Suite is a backup solution to the Backup Solution :P
anyway, download and install the updater service and run it (of course while your phone is connected). Make sure you backup first as mentioned above :P... after the backup, restart your phone, and you're done! your phone should be back to normal!
