6600 fold - number 6 freezes phone. a bug well kno...

I bought 6600 fold for my wife over 6 weeks ago. The phone is totally useless because of this feature: pressing number 6 too rapidly or at all(which is often the case when typing sms messages and you just need to use that 'n' or 'o'), totally freezes the phone. A reboot is needed to get it going again. I've encountered this bug even when typing the PIN code. 
Nokia care centre replaced the device and the same "feature" seems to be issue in this new phone too. And yes, the latest firmware 5.60 was used in these 2 phones. So I rushed to to Nokia care centre again I was told: it's a software bug, will be fixed in release, don't know when.
So I did some research and I found out that this bug has been known for over several months now, and Nokia hasn't done anything about it. I wonder when Nokia bothersto fix this, the phone is absolutely useless now. Money well spent...

Ok, I had some previous posts...  That was in January, things happened since then.
Mine is a non-Nokia guarantee phone, it is from Nokia Asia, made to work in Hungary.
After several tries, the service has solved the problem.
The knew about the problem, they said it IS a hardware thing, not a software, so updating won't solve it.
after about 3-4 weeks they gave it back and since then, the phone is working.
I don't know what they did, I don't care either, it is working now. They said some part needs to be changed. Ohh, I remember now: first they gave it back, it was still buggy, then they have changed the motherboard, I have a new IMEI now, and it is working.
Nokia knows NOTHING about this, they say they haven't experienced **bleep** like this.
Keep trying.

  • Nokia 6600 Fold SIM Contacts List

    I've just purchased a Nokia 6600 fold and I'm trying to configure the settings of my contacts list. My contacts are currently listed as per the example below:
    Citizen;John/5
    However, I want them to display like this:
    John Citizen
    I have been into the settings and chosen to display First Name First, but my contacts are still not displaying as I want them to. What am I not doing, and can I fix this problem?
    BTW, what does the number represent?

    As a new member, Hi All
    I hate to open an old can of worms but reading the history of the endless problems people have had with the 6600 fold, I wondered if there has ever been a happy outcome.
    I realise the 6600 fold is now an old phone, but I have been using Nokia since the original 101 and like their products, this one really suits my needs.
    However I have the intermittent crash that I read about so much on this forum. The double tap cover display fails, the electro magnetic fold realise fails and the numeric keys fail, plus various other features die. I have done all the usual home remedies using the Nokia suite like reinstalling software etc, checked battery voltage and so on to no avail. The only answer is to power off and on again or sometimes remove the battery.
    I have taken it to two different Nokia care centres (LOL) nether were able to identify the fault (one down in Cornwall charged me £25 to tell me they could not find the problem).
    Can anybody put me out of my misery please, as you can see I really like this phone and want to keep it going
    Thank you

  • 6600 Fold & car kits

    Does anyone know if the 6600 Fold can be used with any type of car hands free kit. Looking at the spec it would appear not but I would be interested if any one could confirm that as a fact

  • 6600 fold "NAVI" scroll key

    I purchased a 6600 fold and after only 3 weeks of very light use the "navi" scroll key cracked and disintegrated,
    Nokia care point wanted to charge to replace this key which on a 3 week old phone under warranty it outrageous.
    Finally the shop where I bought it had it repaired only for the same fault to happen 4 weeks after repair, This tells me that there is an underlying problem with this flimsy plastic button, has anybody else had this problem?

    its been reported before and nokia put it down to physical damage,ive seen cases reported with hairline cracks and they are not covered under warranty either however if nokia seen this was an ongoing problem and the piece is not a good build quality they should replace it free and look into using a better material for this to fix this problem.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
    Now using the Lumia 1520

  • 6600 Fold - Too Much Power

    I have the 6600 Fold, and recently when using the USB connecting cable, I get the following message displayed " Connected device uses too much power. Disconnect cable".
    The USB cable is connected from the mobile phone to a Asus notebook. As mentioned, this has only just begun to occur in the last few weeks. I now can only use the 240 volt charger to recharge the phone.
    Any suggestions to what is causing the problem or has anyone else experienced the same.

    The USB port on the camera connection kit is only for importing photos/videos from a camera, SD card or a USB flash drive. It can't be used for export of any file type.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Nokia 6600 fold - no USB connection with PC Suite

    Hi,
    I've got a new 6600 fold phone. I've insatlled Nokia PC Suite 7.1 and connected the phone with the USB cable. The PC recognized it and installed it just fine. And yet, the PC suite doesn't "see" the phone - I can't choose any of the options to connect on the menu.
    Tried to reinstall, read every possible guide, restarted both PC and cell phone several times. Nothing works.
    Any ideas what else I can do?
    (I don't have a bluetooth connection on the PC)
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I was having the same problem with my 6600 slide, when trying to use the software updater. I noticed that the phone was connected on port COM11, i simply changed this to the lowest COM port available (in my case COM1) and the software updater picked it up.
    To change COM port right click
    My Computer and select Properties
    Select Device Manager
    Expand Ports (COM & LPT)
    Right click your Nokia phone USB and select Properties
    Select Port Settings
    Click Advanced button
    Choose a new COM port from the drop down list
    Click OK when done

  • PC Suite won't recongise 6600 fold

    Hi
    Hope someone can help.
    I have had a Nokia for years and always regularly back-up my information using the Nokia PC Suite.
    However I have recently tried to back-up my girlfriends Nokia 6600 fold for her and it will not connect to Nokia PC Suite.  When you connect the phone after about 30 seconds a message pops up that says "no response from host".  There is then an option to slect USB mode but selecting "PC suite" does not successfully link the phone to PC suite.  Whenever you click on "get connected" within PC suite it simply fails to locate the phone. 
    It is not a problem with the phone/computer compatability as I can get to the pictures through windows explorer by selecting "data storage" on the phone from the USB option menu.
    Appreciate any help as slightly frustrating????

    Try with the latest version of OVI Suite..

  • Can't find IMEI number on the phone. Screen has broken so I can't access the dial pad.

    I can't find the IMEI number in the phone after following the instruction on how to find it. I found a number on the back of my micro sim card but this website wouldn't accept it.
    The screen has SELF-CRACKED after having used it for 2 months. And yes it genuinely cracked itself. No, it was not dropped. No, I did not go swimming with it.
    I'm trying to get this number so I can send it off to be repaired. For which I am told Sony do this for free for their products that have this problem. You can read about it here:
    WatchDog - Z1 Self-Cracking Phones
    All I want is to send off the phone to be repaired ASAP, but insetad I'm wasting my time having to contact customer services for which none of them give me a clear answer, and have to create accounts and aliases on this site which I never intend to use ever again. It is not my fault or any other consumers fault for the majority of problems that arise in these products, it is the manufacturers fault for distributing such faulty goods. Safe to say, I never intend on purchasing Sony products again, nor recommend these to anyone.

  • When i send a text in iMessage the person receiving it gets it from my email address... how do i change that. and in message settings the receiving thing has my email and phone number but my phone number is gray and i can't click on it

    Hello Todd:
    I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
    Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
    Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
    Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
    Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
    I hope that this works for you, Todd!   ~ Brian

  • My daughter has an iPhone and some how we share an iCloud account and she's getting all my texts and contacts. I can't find where to uncheck her phone number on my phone account. Please help

    My daughter and I both  have an iPhone and some how we share an iCloud account and she's getting all my texts and contacts. I can't find where to uncheck her phone number on my phone account so she doesn't get all my texts and contacts. Please help

    Hi Shellyk,
    Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and make sure that only your personal email addresses are listed under the individual phone number.Remove the "shared" iCloud email address.
    For the Contacts, if you are syncing them via iCloud and you both have the same iCloud account, you will both have the same Contact list.
    Cheers,
