6234 reboots sometimes when playing music

I recently got a 6324 (the Vodafone branded version) and I really like this phone except it seems to have a problem where it will sometimes reboot/reset itself if you play a music file (I tried with the sample ones that come on the memory card). It seems that it won't reset if you play music soon after you turn it on, but after a day or two of the phone being on, then music is played and part way through
the song it'll just reset the phone.
After it did this 3 times in 4 days I took it back to the Vodafone shop for a replacement. The replacement has exactly the same behaviour which leads me to believe it's some bug in the firmware of the phone. Has anyone else noticed this problem? Are Nokia aware of it? Will there be a firmware fix?
I'm hesitant to return this phone and pick a different brand as I like Nokia phones, and I'm also hesitent to exchange it for a different Nokia model because there are few that seem suited to me.
PS. I tried the firmware version thing but I couldn't get it to work on this phone - #0000# in standby I think. I didn't really know what exactly standby meant, but I tried with the phone off, on but when the screen has timed out and off and with the phone on and front screen visible.

You can check SW version via *#0000#

  • The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.

    The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.  If I unplug and replug in the headphones, the sound comes back on, but often for only 20 seconds or so before cutting out again.  Sometimes it will play for 15-20minutes before cutting out.  The track is not "paused", and appears to continue, just no sound.  I tried cleaning the headphone jack with compressed air to no avail.  I also noticed the the same phenomenon occurs when I sync my bluetooth to my car audio.  That is, it will play for a while, then the sound will cut out, even though the track is still shown to be playing.  If I reset the bluetooth, the sound comes back on.
    This started happening about a week ago, but no "event" that I can think of caused it.  I didnt' get the phone wet, forcefully drop it, or leave it in extreme heat.  I've tried doing a reset of the phone.  I also was running iOS5 when I first noticed this, and since upgraded to iOS6.  The problem appeared with both.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone.  I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner.  An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand.  The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced.  I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.

  • My iPhone 4 has no sound when playing music or videos-help please?!

    Hi - my phone has stopped having any sound when playing music or videos, no volume bar either. No key noises either - but I can live without those!! I can hear sound through headphones, though sometimes that's intermittent. I have tried cleaning ports, restarting it, restoring it, pressing right hand corner of screen, taking headphones in and out repeatedly, pressing speaker twice whilst making call, blowing air into charging port, flicking volume switch on and off on side etc yet nothing has worked. Please can anyone else help? Apple want £135 plus vat to service it which isn't worth it in my opinion!

    Is the mute switch on?
    Is Do Not Disturb mode enabled?

  • The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos.  Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik.  Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not.  Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

    The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

  • When playing music from Ipod in my car, music suddenly stops and message appears to restore in iTunes.  After a few minutes, it starts to play again.  I hear a click and the apple logo shows on the screen.  Any ideas??

    You may need to do a Restore in iTunes.
    Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive is probably not a good thing.  It is possible that your iPod's hard drive is becoming unreliable.

  • The off button does not switch to 'hibernate' or lock when playing music.

    The off button does not switch to 'hibernate' or lock when playing music. I have to hold the off button down
    for a prolonged period of time to get it to switch off; have had to resort to holding the off button and the main
    button simultaneously to reset but no improvement.

    - First try restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes.
    - If problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - If still a problem than you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How to get blank TV screen when playing music

    Hi - thought that might be the answer!
    Sadly, I cant connect the ATV optically, as my amp doesn't have an input, nor does the ATV have phono output, unfortunately.
    Thanks for your reply
    That was an advantage of ATV1 - analogue audio out (and component video, and the hard drive, and iTunes Extras/LP....I'll stop there ).
    No reason trhey couldn;t potentially add as an option though:

  • Downloaded new format yesterday and now when playing music the sound is low for first few seconds of each subsequent track. Is this a bug?

    Under new format when playing music each track after the first starts in low volume then kicks in within 3 seconds. very irritating. is this a bug?

    I'm having the same issue on my iPad (the "new iPad" / 3rd gen with retina display and 30 pin dock connector) after downloading iOS 7 (is that what you meant by the new format, updating to iOS 7?).
    The music will play quietly for a few seconds then it will play at the volume it's supposed to.

  • Can I Enlarge Title and Artist Text when Playing Music?

    Hello.  This question pertains to the 5th generation 32 GB iPod Touch.
    When playing music, I'd like to know if I can enlarge the text that displays the title and artist of the track now playing. 
    (I listen to my iPod in bed, but I wear contacts, and take them out at night.  I am unable to read the text clearly.)
    If there is a way to enlarge the text, what is the procedure?  Is a separate app required, or can I do it some other way?
    Thank you!   Jd

    After doing more research and playing with the iPod, I figured out what to do.  There's a trick to it.
    You double-tap the screen with three fingers.  On the second tap, you spread your three fingers out.  That enlarges the screen to almost any size you want.  Then, you use your three fingers to move the screen around.  The Zoom feature will memorize the customization, and will remain that size unless or until you change it.
    It's just a little bit tricky, but that's how I got it to do what I want.  Jd
