6120 classic wont start up

Turned my phone off earlier tonight,
went to turn it back on, it lights up, nokia symbol, then the screen goes black, then it switches off, this repeats itself a few times and then gives up.
If it is plugged in to charge it just continues doing this.
Im also concerned, can i get my contacts etc off the phone somehow? As i dont want to reset it if i will lose these.

I've got the same issue, where the phone randomly switched off. Sometimes it refuses to turn back on for days...when it does turn on, I have to re-enter date and time. This occurs even if the battery still has power, as on numerous occasions when the phone decided to turn on I had full battery power.
I have taken it back for repair 4 times for the same problem and it has not been repaired.
Would appreciate any assistance, thanks in advance.

Ipod classic wont start up or reset after sleeping mode

Hi. I've just got a new iPod Classic 160Gb, one week old. Everything is fine except that it won't turn on after sleep mode is on. I cant do the restart. The iPod somehow does not response to the menu+start buttons at the same time. It however wakes to live when I plug it to the computer. But when not in use and after it enters sleeping mode I still cannot turn it on. The only option again is to plug it to the computer. This is not right...?? It has the latest software and I have reset to original setup through iTunes.
Anyone know how I could solve this problem? Could this be a hardware fault?

Hi, did you ever find a fix for this? My iPod Classic has just done the exact same thing - red X, won't be detected on Windows, and won't go into disk mode (will go into Config mode, but I can't see anything in that mode that will help).
Would really like to be able to put this into disk mode so I can try to restore my files...

How do I view maps on the 6120 classic?

Hi all.
I have downloaded Nokia Map loaders and installed it on both the 6120 and the PC. I have also downloaded Nokia Maps and installed them on the Memory card via a card reader as instructed as I am told that the maps can not be installed onto the Symbian phone via a USB connection.
I have run the Nokia maps program on the Classic first before attempting to use maps as instructed.
It would appears that the downloads went well because both the installations took a bit of time as the progress bar went across the screen of the 6120.
When I tried to view maps, all I got was the world globe to load and from there nothing.
Just as a point as it may have a bearing. When I tried a Maps download via the PC and Nokia Map Loader, I got the usual gray panel with instruction on how to download, but when I clicked 'next' to got to the next phase where I was to select a country or district or whatever I was told that the connection to the server has been interrupted and to try again, and again, and again...you get the picture.
I found some instructions on the net:
"After installing the Nokia Map Loader application on your PC, start the application. First, choose the continent in the tab on the top of the application window. Then choose the country. Some small countries can be chosen completely, others have several sub-maps from which you have to choose the ones you want to install".
I have never seen this panel anywhere! I believe this is the one that is supposed to come after the gray instructional panel as I stated above.
What am I doing wrong?
I read that I do not need an Internet or GPS connection just to view maps (and that is all that I want to do) so why can't I view my maps, ANY maps?
So whatever I have so far downloaded to the memory card (and from memory is somewhere around 60 something MB, could be more, could be less)is at the moment doing nothing for me.
I really need help here please. :-(
Regards

May the "Farce" be with you!

The 6120 classic puts freshly installed apps straight into the main menu.
Try to uninstall it from settings>app.mgr.
Manual removal of Nokia Maps is a pain in the a** because the files are spread all over c:\ with cryptic file names from the smart2go era, most of 'em in folders that you can only get into if you hack your copy of Symbian. It's easier to back up your contacts, messages and calender entries etc., then reset your phone and reinstall your programs.
Next time you install Nokia Maps (or any other app, especially if it's made by Nokia) make a backup of your phone first.

My ipod is displying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesnt "see" it even if the computer does.

"My ipod is displaying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does."
It worked two days ago fine, for two years, until I installed this newest iTunes update, then for one day it kept on freezing and going to apple logo screen mode, then today it only goes to that screen and wont start up at all.
I've tried the hold down two buttons hard reset, that doesn't help. I've tried disc mode... but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does.
This is a pristine ipod, never exposed to adverse conditions, never dropped, never wet, and it worked perfectly two days ago.
Can I factory reset it somehow? (considering itunes can't "see" it)
[Ipod classic 160gb less than two years old.]

Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
R.O:
"Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.

Nokia 6120 Classic Accept button not working

I have a Nokia 6120 Classic and is not working fine. I have decided to change my mobile.
Before change my mobile I want to backup all my data and telephone numbers. The problem is that Accept button is not working correct. When I start my mobile I can enter pin number but after this I can't enter the date because I have to use Accept button (the one in the top left). Is there any possibility to skip entering date? This is the only wey to enter mobile and backup my data
Thanks

I was going to take it to Nokia care but duh? Should the button stop working suddenly? Without anything wrong also the same with the camera button also I'm not the first one to have this problem right? Then its not our problem but its Nokia's I thought there's another solution, but yeah I'm making angry posts can you just make good products? I see all the people complaint about that button **bleep**, you better not talk while maybe the problem from th company.

Memory/software issues with the Nokia 6120 classic...

Hi. I have a Nokia 6120 classic phone which I bought recently (not covered by warranty) and I'm having problems with the phone on my memory or software part (i don't know which one is exactly). I'm having issues like this for example when I'm to run Opera Mobile 10 on my phone after 2 or 3 sessions of browsing it starts telling me that it does not have enough memory and to close any other applications when non of them are really running at all (not even anti-virus). If I try to open it when for example an application like radio or music player is running it won't even bother to give me the loading logo or something, giving me the same memory error like it does in the previous described issue.
Another issue of this phone is when I open high quality 3gp videos in real player and I switch it to full-screen the video will freeze every 3-4 seconds, thing that doesn't happen when it's out of full screen.
Can somebody help me fix these issues? Thank you and good luck.

IPod classic wont boot-up

my friend gave me an 80GB iPod classic, because it wont start up anymore. i have tried everything and nothing works. i reset it and a white apples pops up with a gray background, then after a few seconds it changes to another screen that tells me to go to the support website. that same screen also has a picture of a circle with an "X" in the center of it and i havent seen any topics on fixing this problem. So someone please help. Thanks

Okay, three things to try.
1. In iTunes, go to Edit/Preferences and then to the Devices tab. About halfway down is a check-box named *Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from Syncing automatically,* make sure the it is off - there should not be a tick (check mark) in the box.
2. Plug the iPod in, wait for at least thirty seonds to see if the computer sees it.
3. If the computer doesn't see the iPod, unplug it and leave it unplugged for at least 24 hours. (If the screen is on and showing something, that's good. It will drain the battery more quickly, which is what we want.) After the battery has drained and there is no response from the iPod at all, plug it in again and wait for at least thrity minutes. After then, hopefully the iPod should switch on, but the battery is still being charged - don't unlug it until it's fully charged. What happens? Has the iPod recovered and if not and you still have the circle and X, try the Restore function again.

TS1372 ipod classic wont restore or reset

ipod classic wont restore or reset error code 1415,,1417,

I assume you have seen this article regarding this error message.
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Nokia 6120 Classic USB Modem is not working proper...

Hello everybody!
Something strange happened last week with my Nokia 6120 Classic (version: 03.83). I regularly use it as a USB modem and last week's Wednesday it stopped working. What the problem really is due to, is hard for me to say precisely.
Using Windows Vista (Business, x64, SP1) "Connect to" function, I have previously connected to using HSDPA, but after last week the following happens:
Starts with "Dialing" then goes to showing status "Verifying user name and password" for less than a second after which Vista informs that "Failed to connect to..." and the phone shows the 3G symbol with dashed arrows below.
I've tried the following:
- reinstalling PC Suite (the latest, greatest version)
- reinstalling the modem drivers (between Nokia USB modem and 6120 USB modem) using the whole reboot thing
- using another USB port, which doesn't work since Device Manager reports that the driver can't start properly
- restarting, cold resetting the phone
- switching to GSM only
- testing with another computer running SP1
- removing modem init commands for the Internet connection
Now, the strange thing with the second computer was that everything worked just fine with it. My computer on the other hand didn't work at all!
I've put the modem communication logs from the working computer here:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ah8pw9pjrf55_12g38wqpdt
And the modem communication logs from my non-working computer here:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ah8pw9pjrf55_11hjcq39g4
What was interesting on my computer is the "NO CARRIER" line which makes no sense to me: why on earth is it starting to check for a carrier signal all of the sudden??
Any tips with this here dilemma would be greatly appreciated.
Message Edited by manywhere on 18-Feb-2008 09:47 AM

I tried using a Nokia E90 and connecting to the net using both PC Suite's "Connect to the Internet" and using Windows´ "Connect to" programs. With the E90, I had the same problems: fails at "Verifying user name and password" and the strange looking modem communications log.
What the heck is going on with my Windows installation here? I tried removing the drivers again, repairing PC suite and restarting the computer, but to no avail.

Software Update not working on Nokia 6120 Classic ...

The Software Update is'nt working on Nokia 6120 Classic White when i start the software updater it says "not found".
Here's a picture of the phone: Nokia 6120 White
Please Reply.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sometimes the drivers for your Nokia device and associated connectivity cables can become corrupted.
To resolve this, uninstall and re-install Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater:
- In your PC’s Control Panel, go to Add/Remove programs
- Uninstall Nokia Software Updater (if there are more than one entries uninstall all of them)
- Uninstall Nokia PC Suite
- Go to www.europe.nokia.com/pcsuite to download and install the latest version of Nokia PC Suite
- Go to www.europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate to download and install Nokia Software Updater

Dear Islamic Brother, assalamu alaikum!
i had the same problem with my 6120c phone. the original version in my set was 4.2 and i updated it to 5.11 myself. afterwards Islamic Organizer was not installing. but im glad to find a very simple solution myself.
Important: All your data and installed applications will be removed permanently. So you should take backup of all your data on phone memory (contacts, calender items, sms, images etc) and though not necessary but in order to be safer - remove your memory card before following these steps:
- Turn off your phone
- Press and hold '*' '3' and 'call' buttons, and while holding all these three buttons simultaneously, and press 'ON' button. (this may sound difficult but when you will try to do this you will find it easy)
- Keep all these four buttons press until your phone starts
- If you have done it correctly the phone will ask you to enter your country, city, time and date, etc.
- Go to Menu>Download - refresh the list and download Islam Organiser again.
- That's all!!
May we all respect our prayer timings!

6120 Classic and Mac

I was just wondering if anyone has been able to use iSync or any other application with this kinda new phone.
I would really appreciate to have the possibility to use all those syncing functions.
Last phone i had was an MS Smartphone and now i got and Nokia hoping better Mac support, but is it all just a empty wish?
Tom from Finland

when I first got my Nokia 6120 classic a week ago, I synchonised it to my windows PC at work using Nokia PC Suite. I did this at the time, as no iSync plugin was available for iSync on my iMac machine at home (running OS X Tiger).
I have since located and installed a plugin for iSync for the 6120 by following the instructions above. With the plugin installed, the phone is recognised on the Mac, and the synchronisation process can be configured and started. However it fails with a message 'synchronisation error, the synchronisation was cancelled by the phone' or something similar.
Is this because the phone cannot be setup to Sync with both PC Suite and with iSync? If so, I would like to disable synchronisation with PC Suite and only ever sync with the Mac via isync. How do I do this?
If all else fails, can I restore settings to the phone (preferably without removing applications and bookmarks that I have set if possible?)
Thanks for your help!
Chris

My Ipod classic wont turn back on

My IPod classic wont turn back on. I dont know why.

Try a Reset.
Turn the Hold switch on, then off again and then press-and-hold the Menu and the Select (centre) buttons together for at least ten seconds. The Apple logo shoudl apapera at soe stage and then the iPod will re-start.
Alternatively, if the iPod's battery is drained, plug it into a power source and leave it for at least thirty minutes. Only then will it show signs of life.
