A suggestion to inhance nokia phones popularity

Hello
Im one of the fans of nokia in iran but I think the most important reason that nokia devices specially lumia series cant be sold very good in iran is than unfortunately now although after almost three years there is very limited expert to create software to windowsphone and the reason that I typed this , 8s that I wanted buy a lumia 625 but yesterday after surfing in internet I found out that the software of one of the banks that is very critical for me isnt availabe for windowsphone I want you to expand your softwares and the way to create software for windows .
Thank you for your best devices.

Talk to your bank.. Actually most banks will have a mobile browser verison for online banking which you can use just fine. Pin the page to the startscreen and you have an instant banking app

Please suggest me.
Your advice/reply would help me in buy the phone.
Thanks

The 6233 is a great phone with the latest firmware installed but the original firmware is very buggy. You should check the firmware version currently installed on the phone before you buy by inserting the battery and pressing *#0000# on the phone. The phone will then display the installed firmware version. The original very buggy firmware is v. 3.70. I wouldn't buy a 6233 with that firmware unless you are prepared to immediately go to a Nokia Care Center to get the firmware upgraded which they will do for free. The latest firmware is 4.91. I had tons of problems with 3.70 but so far 4.91 has been fine. (Except for the display backlight timeout not being adjustable which is something intentional (and very stupid) that Nokia did.) I hope they get sued over it when it causes a motor vehicle accident.
Currently using 6300 & 6233 (backup)

I need Nokia phone, PLZ help me.

I wanna buy new and latest Nokia phone. I am really interested in 6300. In this morning, i have decided to buy 6300. But i've read some topics about Nokia 6300 that was about disappear SD card and battery time is very short. Then after that posts I am fully confused. Which model is the best? if someone has suggest to me please tell me......

All models of phones from all manufacturers generally have some form of bug in them. Most bugs can be corrected by firmware updates.
The vast majority of phone users will never notice problems with the phone.
The best thing you could do is if you like the phone, try it out somewhere and then buy it. Test it out throughly and if you are not happy with it then return it.
Personally I prefer the 6233 over 6300 but thats just because I like the look of the 6233 (black model) better.

Syncing using only 2 nokia phones - possible?

Hi,
Using only 2 nokia telephones I want to be able to sync my phone calender and the calender of my wife. But I don't want use any PC application. Once a day (when the phones can connect using bluetooth) I need to sync and see if we have any conflicts. Maybe syncing is not the correct term. We need to exchange calender information.
I have asked to Nokia using colleagues to try but without success. I wonder if it is at all possible.
If it is possible which Nokia phones do I need (or which version of the sotfware). I was thinking of a 6300 or 6500 classic and a value for money nokia for the wife.
If this is not possible then why not? Seems like a good idea to me.

Hi..
We use a number of different NI Gpib cards here at work in conjunction with some RF test equipment in a development environment. Most of this equipment will only work in a Talker-Only mode and are meant to dump data to a Pen Plotter. My objective is to write a universal application that will allow the PC to emulate a plotter in a 'listen-only' mode. Some of our PCs are older ISA versions (Win98,etc) where others are PCI (Win2000,XP). I want to write the software so that any of these platforms could be used.
Any suggestions would be appreciated..

Reading bluetooth GPS data from a Nokia phone

I have a problem reading data from a MTK bluetooth GPS device from a Nokia phone (7610, Symbian S60).
I wrote a midlet (my phone supports CLDC 1.0/MIDP 2.0) that create a thread to read data
from the device (using RFCOMM protocol), the code is:
package gpsreader.bluetooth;
import javax.microedition.io.*;
import java.io.*;
public class BTrxtx implements Runnable {
private String url = ""; // Connection string to the bluetooth device.
private boolean canRead; // True if possible to read from device.
private boolean canWrite; // True if possible to write to device.
private String btstr = ""; // Last received string.
private int strCounter;
private int byteCounter;
private StreamConnection conn = null;
private InputStream inputstream = null;
private OutputStream outputstream = null;
private boolean newStr;
private static final char[] EOL_BYTES = {'\015','\012'};
public BTrxtx(String u) {
url = u;
canRead = false;
canWrite = false;
strCounter = 0;
byteCounter = 0;
newStr = false;
Thread t = new Thread(this);
t.start();
private void openInput() {
canRead = false;
try {
inputstream = conn.openInputStream();
canRead = true;
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("oin");
System.out.println(e);
private void openOutput() {
canWrite = false;
try {
outputstream = conn.openOutputStream();
canWrite = true;
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("oout");
System.out.println(e);
private void openConn() {
try {
conn = (StreamConnection) Connector.open(url);
openInput();
openOutput();
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("oconn");
System.out.println("Failed to open connection: " + e);
private void closeInput() {
try {
if(inputstream!=null) {
inputstream.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("cin");
System.out.println(e);
private void closeOutput() {
try {
if(outputstream!=null) {
outputstream.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("cout");
System.out.println(e);
private void closeConn() {
try {
closeInput();
closeOutput();
if(conn!=null) {
conn.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("cconn");
System.out.println(e);
public void run() {
openConn();
try {
Thread.sleep(200);
}catch(Exception e) {
try {
int i = 0;
char c;
String s = "";
// Start reading the data from the GPS
while(canRead==true) {
i = inputstream.read(); // read one byte at the time.
if(i==-1) {
closeConn();
try {
Thread.sleep(200);

setBtstr(s);
s = "";
c = (char) i;
s += c;
System.out.println("GPS return no data");
setBtstr("BTend");
}catch(Exception e){
setBtstr("BTrun");
System.out.println(e);
private String byte2hex(byte b) {
char[] alphaHex = {'0', '1', '2', '3',
'4', '5', '6', '7',
'8', '9', 'A', 'B',
'C', 'D', 'E', 'F',
int low = (int) b & 0x0f;
int hi = (int) (b & 0xf0) >> 4;
String res = String.valueOf(alphaHex[hi]) + String.valueOf(alphaHex[low]);
return res;
public boolean sendData(String data) {
boolean res = false;
try {
if((canWrite==true) && (conn!=null) && (outputstream!=null) && (data!=null)){
StringBuffer rec = new StringBuffer(256);
// Calculate checksum
int index = data.length();
byte checksum = 0;
while(--index>=0) {
checksum ^= (byte) data.charAt(index);
rec.setLength(0);
rec.append('$');
rec.append(data);
rec.append('*');
rec.append(byte2hex(checksum));
System.out.println(">"+rec.toString());
rec.append(EOL_BYTES);
outputstream.write(rec.toString().getBytes());
}catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
return res;
public int getStrCounter() {
return strCounter;
public int getByteCounter() {
return byteCounter;
public String getBtstr() {
newStr = false;
return btstr;
private void setBtstr(String s) {
newStr = true;
btstr = s;
public boolean receivedData() {
return newStr;
The problem is on method "run" at line:
i = inputstream.read(); // read one byte at the time.
after reading some data (usually one NMEA string) read method returns -1,
and even if I try to close the connection and re-open it, after some other data is read,
the midlet is terminated by the phone with an error (something like "jes-13c-java-comms@1441adE32USER-CBase 40").
The GPS receiver is working, since from my PC I am able to connect with a bluetooth USB dongle and read outputs using RFCOMM.
Thx for any suggestions,
LB.

Work around.
I can not say I solved it, but I managed to get a work around:
I read in another post that there are some problems in thread handling on Nokia phones, so I rewrote the class so that it runs on the main thread and now it seems to work (I can not update the screen while reading from the device, but this isn't a big issue for me).
Just in case anyone is interested here is the final code:
import javax.microedition.io.*;
import java.io.*;
public class BTBrxtx {
private String url = ""; // Connection string to the bluetooth device.
private boolean canRead; // True if possible to read from device.
private String btstr = ""; // Last received string.
private int strCounter;
private int byteCounter;
private StreamConnection conn = null;
private InputStream inputstream = null;
private boolean newStr;
private String s = "";
private static final char[] EOL_BYTES = {'\015','\012'};
public BTBrxtx(String u) {
url = u;
canRead = false;
canWrite = false;
strCounter = 0;
byteCounter = 0;
newStr = false;
openConn();
try {
Thread.sleep(200);
}catch(Exception e) {
private void openInput() {
canRead = false;
try {
inputstream = conn.openInputStream();
canRead = true;
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("oin");
System.out.println(e);
private void openConn() {
try {
conn = (StreamConnection) Connector.open(url);
openInput();
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("oconn");
System.out.println("Failed to open connection: " + e);
private void closeInput() {
try {
if(inputstream!=null) {
inputstream.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("cin");
System.out.println(e);
private void closeConn() {
try {
closeInput();
if(conn!=null) {
conn.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("cconn");
System.out.println(e);
public void readInput() {
try {
int i = 0;
char c;
// Start reading the data from the GPS
while(canRead==true) {
i = inputstream.read(); // read one byte at the time.
if(i==-1) {
closeConn();
try {
Thread.sleep(200);
}catch(Exception e) {
openConn();
try {
Thread.sleep(200);
}catch(Exception e) {
continue;
byteCounter++;
// Every sentence starts with a '$'
if(i==36){
if(s.length()>0) {
strCounter++;
setBtstr(s);
s = "";
c = (char) i;
s += c;
return;
c = (char) i;
s += c;
System.out.println("GPS return no data");
setBtstr("BTend");
}catch(Exception e){
setBtstr("BTrun");
System.out.println(e);
private String byte2hex(byte b) {
char[] alphaHex = {'0', '1', '2', '3',
'4', '5', '6', '7',
'8', '9', 'A', 'B',
'C', 'D', 'E', 'F',
int low = (int) b & 0x0f;
int hi = (int) (b & 0xf0) >> 4;
String res = String.valueOf(alphaHex[hi]) + String.valueOf(alphaHex[low]);
return res;
public int getStrCounter() {
return strCounter;
public int getByteCounter() {
return byteCounter;
public String getBtstr() {
newStr = false;
return btstr;
private void setBtstr(String s) {
newStr = true;
btstr = s;
public boolean receivedData() {
return newStr;
Now I call method readInput in the main thread and than use getBtstr to retrieve data.
I'm still interested to know if someone had similar problems and how they have been solved.
Thx

Making programs for nokia phones which have symbian operating system

hi
I want to make program for nokia phones.I wrote a program for pc general application and i want to change it for mobile phones. Please inform me about how to make program for mobile phones step by step?
thanks for your replies.

frknml
If your PC application is in java and suitable for the limitations of CLDC / MIDP, I really don't see any barrier -- of course, you may have to sacrifice much of the layout and possibly some of the functionality. Hard to say without knowing exactly what you have in mind.
Simple core java classes require no conversion and can be adopted into your mobile app. MIDlet is the basic application class, roughly (only roughly) corresponding to Applet for larger platforms.
So... I'm assuming that you're already reasonably famililar with the java language and syntax, and have a worked with a code editor and / or IDE. If that is the case, I would suggest you download and install NetBeans (if you don't already have it) and work through some of the mobility tutorials.
www.netbeans.org/downloads/
The javadocs for jsr-118 (included with NB) will also help. More complete docs and code samples are available in plenty, google java j2me CLDC MIDP sample codes.
For Nokia-specific features, you may want to download the Nokia SDK and integrate it into NetBeans. Series 60 SDK 2.0 for Symbian OS is available at
http://software.techrepublic.com.com/download.aspx?docid=78818
(and many other places)
But I strongly recommend that you focus on device-independent applications, and use device-specific features only where absolutely necessary.
Hey - I'd never used java before (I do have experience in various other programming languages) and I had a centimetre-inch convertor up and running on my Motorola handset just 2 days after installing NetBeans.
You know java, you may do better :-)
All the best, Darryl
Note: Download WTK 2.5 separately and integrate into NetBeans, the WTK 2.2 which comes bundled with NB has a few bugs :-(

Absolutely impossible to connect nokia phone in pc...

For me it's now absolutely impossible to connect nokia phone in pc suite mode. Not the first time for problems with PCsuite either. It has been working shaky for a couple of months but now it absolutely refuses connections in PC suite mode. USB connection are never any problem but I cannot sync the phone in this mode unfortunately so it does not help. Have tried all uninstallations and re-installations possible but nothing helps. Only a total re-install of the computer will probably help. WHY is PC suite such a unstable program! I think the concept is great and very nice but the connection part of this program simply have to be improved soon! Or make it possible to sync the data in USB mode to make the everything so much simpler.
/Peter
This time the problems happen with Windows XP and Nokia 6110N but it has been with all software versions, all Nokia phones I've had.

2630 Bluetooth. Can anyone suggest a step by step instruction "How to" to connect my Nokia 2630 to my PC through Bluetooth. I believe this is the only way to download my Nokia 2630 information.
Have to confess - as you can tell already - I'm a bit of luddite and very new to this. I don't know how Bluetooth technology works. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks. Colin.

you do realize that some HTC phones have Windows installed, right?
what's the point of going to Android if it only gets 2-3 updates only.
taken from a site.
As we count down the weeks till Gingerbread is released the majority of our audience has a phone with Android 2.1 or older and some of those devices will never see a software update again.
will you be satisfied if your device will get only 2 updates?
That's not correct.
Some android devices have seen many updates, many far more than windows phones have seen in the year they've been on the market.
My particular device (Xperia Arc) has seen several updates since March. It started on Gingerbread 2.3.2, it now has gingerbread 2.3.4 and is due to get 2.3.5 soon. But the most important part is those are just the updates to the core system, manufacturers can add/fix other things in updates that are unique to specific devices or brands.
My device has seen updates to it's apps, new widgets/apps, new themes, new social integration, even a new lock screen. It's actually had that many significant changes it's made it exciting to get a new update. All that whilst remaining on the same android version, gingerbread 2.3.x.
I'm extremely satisfied with my device that's seen three or four updates (two being major) in the last six to seven months. Far more satisfied than when I was waiting as long for one major update for the N8!
Just like some Nokia devices some android devices do get stuck on older versions and don't see core (or feature) updates but it's the manufacturer and hardware that dictate this. You can't judge an entire OS based on that because it doesn't happen to every device. I suggest you do a little bit of personal research before trying to use it to prove a point.
As for Nokia's windows phones i'm open to trying one since the mango update appeared. We'll find out just how good (or bad) those are next week when they are shown at Nokia World. I look forward to personally trying one out on the 26th.

Best Nokia phone?

Dear Nokia and Nokia users,

Empty Nokia Phone Browser when using PC Suite

I have recently installed Nokia PC Suite v6.86.9.3 for use with my Nokia N95 8GB. I have also updated the firmware on my phone to version 20.0.016 so I should have all the latest versions.
Everything installed ok and i opened PC Suite as normwal. I can see my received messages in the bottom left corner of the Nokia PC Suite main screen but when I click on the envelope icon to create or send message it opens My Computer and nothing happens. The same problem occurs when I click on File manager or Contacts.
I have noticed in My Computer that I now have the Nokia Phone Browser. If I open this I can click on the icons positioned to the left of the window to create a new contact, create a new text message or refresh the folder, however the folder itself is empty.
I have read in the help files that you should be able to browse contact information & text messages along with the phone memory and memory card, but I'm getting no where.
Can anyone help me with this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Can anybody confirm if this is still the way to solve the problem with phone browser not showing everything?
I used to work with PC suite for Nseries and could easily access my messages and contacts through phone browser. I recently did a firmware upgrade (to version V 31.0.015) for my N95 8GB and installed Ovi suite (2.1.1.1.) and PC suite (7.1.55.0) since then I`ve had several problems among others with maps updater and map loader. For now I`ve solved the maps issue manually. I can make and restore back-ups etc. so it`s got me confused.
I tried on my XP (SP 3) pc in case of compatibility issue for Windows 7 64x but same problem, deleted connectivity cable, all ovi/nokia related stuff, reboot, then restart, pc did found new hardware, drivers added correctly but no messages or contacts in phone browser (the rest of the folders does appear!) and as soon I click on my phone in the tray pc suite shuts down but no way to remove hardware safely.
As my screen also seems to have trouble showing stability at startup since this upgrade, (it comes on, shows my personal picture on screen, takes some extra long seconds to get connected, rebuilds the screen completely, then disappears for half a minute and decides to pop back on again. But when I enter menu a long double line shows up on the right side screen -like opening a browser with a scroll downbar- then the bar disappears and the rest is working just fine! I actually never had any issues with my trusted and beloved phone before hence the long wait for firmware upgrade, if it wasn`t for the update to free maps.. (got a new N97 for a few days so I got excited about it )
The weirdest thing is I`ve already did some soft/hard resets-only with digits not with fingers-, also reinstalled the firmware update again so I`m a bit clueless to what to do next, so I want to try as suggested above but since that was posted 2 years ago...
Any new or better suggestions?
thanks!

I am having trouble transfering music and pics from my old Nokia phone to Iphone 4s

Why won't my iphone 4s recognize my old phone so that I can transfer pics and music through bluetooth? It just keeps telling me it is not paired with the device but I can't figure out how to do so. The Nokia phone recognizes the iphone just fine.

Connect you rdevice to your computer/iTunes. Go to the Photos tab. Choose to have no photos synced over and then 'Apply' the changes.

When will windows 8.1 be available for nokia phones

when will windows 8.1 be available for nokia phones?

I wish I had some way to give you hope but unfortunately you're definitely not the first person to ask this question. VZW has made it clear that they aren't in the customer service business so we now must take matter into our own hands. Write directly to the CEO.
You can contact Mr. Daniel S. Mead (CEO) by going to www.verizon.com/about/leader/contact/73.
Maybe if enough of us say something they'll try to at least pretend they appreciate our money.

How do I transfer contacts from my old Nokia phone to my new iPhone?

My old phone is a Nokia 2330c-2. My new phone is an iPhone4

adams_engr wrote:

Yes there is,
Download and install Nokia Suite for your PC. After installation, go to "tools" in the top menu and click on "options". The Options window should open up. on the left side select "contacts" and then under "sync with contacts application", select "Windows Contacts". After this click on "ok".
Connect your Nokia C3-00 to the computer with Nokia Suite still open. Your phone will show up in the application. Move mouse cursor over the contacts square on the left of the application window, and then click "sync". Wait for the sync to finish. Disconnect the Nokia phone.
Download and install iTunes. Connect your iphone. from this application you will be given an option to import contacts from Windows contacts. This should give you all the contacts.
