6300 vs. 6230i

Hi,
Just received my new Nokia 6300 and wish to copy both contacts and calendar from my old Nokia 6230i but it won´t work!
Any suggestions outthere? I talked to a guy at Nokia support, he thought that they have different bluetooth configurations but they are ok. I have done this before with another Nokia 6300. How come this won´t work?
BR,
adam

There was a world of difference between the S40/2 operating system which the 6230i has and the S40/3 OS of the 6300, it is unlikely that they will copy between them. The best option is to use Content Copier in PC Suite, most of the data should be transferable this way.

Contact list in 6230i how do I transfer to 6300

Hi
I have loaded Nokia PC suite, connected phone via bluetooth and attempted to synchronise and view my contacts/phone list in PC suite. Unfortunately I cannot see my phonelist on the 6230i. What am I doing wrong? I have been able to tranfer the pictures on the 6230i phone to my PC and transfer some to the 6300.
Most of my contacts are on the SIM card. Is the problem that they should be on the phone memory?
I have also made a backup via pc suite and viewed the file generated with Noki which shows some of the contacts but not all of them. (some which are in the list are in the SIM card but others which are also in the sim card are missing)
Ulimately I want to transfer the all contacts to the 6300.
Any advice gratefully received
regards
Graham

if the contacts are on sim card then the will not be backed up in pc suite.only phone data ie what ever you saved on phone like sms,pictures,contacts will only be backed up.sim and memory card data will not be backed up in pcsuite.
tongue is too confused on what to speak

Bluetooth: new phone 6300 and old phone 6230i can'...

I have enabled Bluetooth on both phones and set the settings to visible to all, and when I press "search audio enhancements" on either phone to get them to find each other, it says nothing found. Can anyone help?
The reason I want to activate the bluetooth is that I am trying to transfer photos from the old phone 6230i and have lost the USB wire which might have enabled me to get the photos off the old phone.

The problem is the bluetooth option. You need to search for paired devices NOT audio devices.

PC Sync doesn't work with Outlook and 6300

Whilst I appreciate there maybe other posts similar to this there doesn't seem one that give enough information and when the suggestions are tried (the ones I read) they didn't work.
I can sync with Nokia Communication centre (Emails and messages) but my 6300 won't sync with outlook (PC Sync)- contacts, notes or calendar.
Here are the details:
Windows XP SP3 & Also Vista Business SP1
PC Suite is 7.0.7.0 (Also tried the version that came with the phone).
Connection method - USB
Phone Nokia 6300 latest firmware V 06.01 RM-217 (as checked on 27/7/2008)
Outlook 2000, 2003 & 2007

Nokia PC Sync Warning
PC Sync information.
PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronisation.
Possible Solution
Please check your Synchronisation settings and ensure your phone is in the Idle state, then restart the Synchronisation.

Tried this on three computers with two with XP Pro(Outlook 2000 & 2003) and one with Vista Business (2007). Added new folders for test and also created a clean Outlook installation (2000 on one XP machine). None of these installations work with synchronisation. Tried just Contacts, Notes and Calendar on their own. Still no good.
The main reason for wanting to do this is to transfer my Calendar from my 6230i (there seems to be no other way of doing it) and use it on my PC.
I have managed to copy my contacts using PC Suite 7.0.7.0 by having both phones connected and selecting all the contacts from the old phone to the new phone in Nokia Communication Centre. Seems you can't do this on old suites. I can also see messages there as well although I haven't tried to copy them yet.
What is interesting is that with all the same settings in PC sync and the same folders in outlook I have been able to synchronise my 6230i calendar both ways with no problems at all. It is just the 6300 that is giving problems either way.
So is this a firmware bug, PC Suite bug, Interface bug, or just that some settings on either phone or PC that need changing to suite the 6300?
Without this working there is no way that my desktop calendar can synch with my phone. As I said the 6230i was no problem.

Thanks for that. I did indeed manage to do a calendar backup from my 6230i and then restore it to my 6300 and YES it did work.
So how come that a calendar that obviously works on the 6230i phone can be restored to the 6300 phone, and the 6230i can do a sync to outlook. Yes I did that as well. I managed to sync the 6230i to a clean calendar in outlook, Modify it the calendar in Outlook and then sync it back to the 6230i. I then had to back it up in order to restore it to the 6300.
Are you seriously saying that it is the format of the calendar when the 6230i does it so well. It seems obvious to me that it must be either the sync firmware of the 6300 or the PC connect software not taking account of any 6300 firmware differences.
As a test I added an appointment to a completely blank calendar on my 6300 and tried syncing that with the same errors. When syncing you can for a split second see something trying to be synced but too fast to read. It would be more helpful if there was a proper log of actually why and where the problem occurred. So if Nokia (or anyone)has some debug software please can I try it?
Whilst I have, after nearly a week of trying and search the internet, found a solution to my immediate problem (copying the calendar), it appears there isn't a solution to integrate the phone to Outlook - unless somebody know different.

6230i message icon not displayed

This last week or so my 6230i has started playing up.
I can send & receive text messages fine and on receipt of an incoming text the phone give the normal audio alert and box on the screen pops up to say "1 message received".
However after a few seconds that message disappears and the screen reverts to normal but with no message icon in the the top left corner. Therefore if I don't hear the message alert I can't tell I have received a message without going to my inbox to check.
Any ideas why this might be happening and/or will a factory reset solve my problem.
Denis

How much free phone memory does it have? (not free space on the memory card).
If it's quite full try deleting anything large that may be stored in phone memory instead of the memory card. Sometimes clearing out old calendar entries can help too.
Unfortunately there's no way to fully reset a 6230i yourself. A care point can do this but there will be a small charge when it's out of warranty.
Give your nearest care point a call and ask them what they will charge for the reset and update. If you are in the UK try to avoid care points run by the carphone warehouse, they tend to be very unhelpful and pushy.
If you do need to replace your phone the 6300 is a nice low cost replacement for the 6230i.

How To Use The Voice Command in Nokia 6300

Dear all
the voice command which saved on the Nokia 6300 is a computrized only i can't change it with my voice which return this option is useless to me so is there any other way to use this service using my real voice

No, on newer Nokia phone you can no longer recorded your own voice tags.
If you are having difficulty with the phone understanding your voice command please try to change the voice playback setting on the phone. Do the following :
Menu -> Settings -> Phone -> Language settings -> Voice playback language
Then select a language that the phone should use for playing back voice commands, you might want to select a language that closely resembles your accent and language.

6300 - How do I set my signature in SMS please?

I have recently purchased the Nokia 6300 - But for the life of me I cant see where to put a default Signature for text messages - I have to keep typing my name at the end of every SMS! Can someone help me please? Have looked in manual but cant find any help there either.Message Edited by rozanne on 28-Aug-200708:52 AM

There are very few Nokias with that feature, I'm not sure about other manufacturers... Maybe it's something that will take off... I can't see it being too popular though to be honest... but that's just my opinion... It's not something everyone would have to use, so it's all cool

Nokia 6300 and PC Sutie not restoring Contacts HEL...

Hi all im not sure if anyone else has the same problem but for some reason every time i try to restore a backup from my Nokia 6300 that I have just made it doesn’t seam to full work.. Everything else will restore except my contacts. If I restore my contacts I get a error msg saying Connection to the phone was lost. Reconnect your phone and restart the restoration..
Yet when I restore my contacts from a old 6230i phone I backed up 3months ago it seams fine..
Using Windows XP SP2
Nokia 6.83..14.1
Is there any other way I can backup my contacts…
Also I have noticed some of my applications have now been moved into a different folder on my memory card.

Ok, so I reinstalled the software, and so far it seems to be working 90% better. I can add contacts, and they seem to store on the computer AND phone better. One contact would not send, had to delete it and recreate for it to work, but was able to get it to the phone.
So I won't delete the original post, maybe someone else will have similar problems. Hopefully I won't be back to edit this response once I get to 10 or 15 numbers.

To Nokia - Bluetooth problems or 6300 and 3110

Dear Nokia,
Please, please you are killing everyone with your Nokia bluetooth phone incompatiblity.
What do you guys intend to do?
Do you acknowledge there is a problems.
I bought a 6300 when I lost the best Nokia ever phone 6230i.
The bluetooth connectivity is appalling.. Echoes and cut outs plague the receiver of your call.
So far bought BH200 useless, HS26W Jabras do not work, and BH100 does not work.
I then thought it was the phone, but so bought another 6300 it also has the same problems.
I then bought the 3110 classic which actually has a lovely keyboard layout. The phone is great, but the bluetooth problems are the same/ slightly better.
Nokia Uk are not helpful... They just say return the phone to o2. They live in denial...curse on their houses.
Nokia has beeen very sloppy on this bluetooth issue. They will kill their business. They have lost my loyalty...
I am now faced with buying a Samsung. Sonys are terrible and Blackberrys are too small to use in a moving car.
My hi-tech friend says it is incompatible bluetooth software on the phone. Nothing you can do till NOkia acknowledge the problem and send out a new patch..
Edit: removed e-mail addressMessage Edited by scousermodman on 25-Sep-2007 11:10 AM

I am also having the same problem.
I have a 6300 and a Samsung WEP150 headset.
The headset works fine with My SonyEricsson W810i and I can also transfer contacts between the W810i and the Nokia 6300 using bluetooth but for some reason the 6300 can't see the headset.
Seems like Nokia haven't got thier bluetooth implementation quite right (At this point it seems the most likely cause). If they can provide a solution I'll be very happy to be wrong.
I'll let you know if I find a solution.

Nokia 6300 Music Player Crash

Hi There,
I have a new 6300. I have a fully formatted 2GB card in it. I have used Nokia Music manager to transfer and convert the file to M4A files. I was filling the card up reather well and still have about 1Gb free.
I when I update the libaray it finds all the 500+ track on the card.
When I try to use the libaray to get an album to play, the phone locks up for a few minutes and then resets itself.
I am finding it nigh on impossible to use the music player.
The biggest selling point was that you could put lots of music on the card.

it went fyrther than that now, the library decided to corrupt itself. I wasn't showing the right artist name against the tracks.
Thanks for the reply.... it does the same even if it mp3 format.
This is the first nokia I have had problems with.. my 6230 and 6230i were both better.

6300 failed connection to bluetooth car kit

New 6300 will not pair with my motorola bluetooth car kit. Never finds device.
My 6230i worked well - so what is the problem please? Is it software in 6300? Is there a fix. Surely bluetooth is bluetooth....otherwise what's the point
As an aside 6300 seems to get poorer recption than 6230i did as well - is this the first time in 20 years that I have upgraded to phone that performs less well than the previous one!?
Thanks
Peter

By the way Motorola kit is an HF850 and was professionally installed in the car only just over a year ago - so is not an old model. As I say the 6230i works perfectly with it.
I see 55 people have viewed the Post - has no one got any bright ideas - please! Peter

6300 - how do i turn off voice tags - SO ANNOYING

Now i've got my new Nokia 6300, (of which i must say is NOWHERE near as good as the 6230i & REALLY regret buying this phone).
Anyway, does anyone know how to turn off the voice tags when connected to a bluetooth headset?

You guys must have a very different 6300 than I do. Although it is not perfect in every way, I simply love mine. I find it to be incredibly refined with very few flaws. Of course I am running the latest version of the firmware (v.5.5) and mine is unbranded. I think that might make a difference, especially if you are running an early buggy firmware version. Also, I don't use the voice dialing function at all so I can't comment on that. It is true that many people have reported problems with that function, however, I haven't had any need to turn it off or deactivate it.
Of course it would be better if the phone had more internal memory but I haven't found that to be much of a problem since one can expand the memory up to 2 gigs with micro SD cards. The 6230i's expandability I believe is limited to 512 meg if I recall correctly and its screen is pretty bad to put it mildly. Anyway, I simply store and move most apps and everything else I can over to the card memory, thereby freeing up as much internal phone memory as possible which leaves me with over 3 megs free internal phone memory. Hasn't caused me any inconvenience yet, although I imagine if I tried to transfer a file larger than 3 megs via bluetooth to the phone, that might not be possible. I don't see that as being a major problem though.
There are so many things that are new, different and BETTER on this phone compared to older phones (even the 6233 which is not that old), that I really love. For example, the fabulous display that displays 16 million colors and about 14 lines of very sharp text in Opera Mini, and that doesn't turn off too quickly and can be read when the back light is off; the cool flashing notification lights that alert you to unread messages, missed calls, voice mails, unviewed reminders, etc; the way the radio auto tunes itself to available stations; the ability to have flashlite animated wallpaper and screensavers which allows for the display of some great stuff, for example, a variety of nice large animated clock wallpapers (available for free download from the web); the way almost every menu and function is so much more refined than on previous phones; the solid stainless steel case and slim form factor; the overall great build quality (except for the rattling power on switch, which is a very minor issue); the standard mini USB connector, (instead of the horrible proprietary pop port); and I'm sure I could think of more things but these are just some of the things that occur to me quickly.
Try browsing the web with Opera Mini 4 beta 3 on the 6300. It is just amazing what that little screen can do.
Currently using 6300 & 6233 (backup)

Banding issues on 6300

Hi,
are there any known issues with the display of the Nokia 6300, especially concerning colour gradients and "banding" effect?
On my 6300 which I received a few days ago (production date 08/2007, FW 4.71), gradients do not appear to be as smooth as expected and show a slight banding effect. This can best be seen when using the original "Noir" theme, both in active standby and on the default background..
Best wishes,
Karsten

The 6300 has an active matrix TFT screen with support for 16milion colours. In short, it should not shown any streaking, ghosting or banding.
The best option would be to take the phone to a Nokia Repair Shop and ask them if this is indeed normal for the phone or whether your phone has a defective display - in which case they will have to fix or replace it under warranty.
Experience and persistence are second to none just ask user one.

Nokia 6300 red

Hello. Please specify what color of illumination of the keyboard should be at Nokia 6300 in the red case? Phone is officially delivered to Russia. And what color should be stereoset at this model in the red case? Thanks.

The colour should always be white and it will be changed by whatever button colour it shines through.
