Bluetooth 3.0 + HS in Nokia phones?
Does anyone know if any of the Nokia phone models up-to-date support Bluetooth 3.0 + HS (i.e. using 802.11b/g/n as the air interface for the data transfer)?
Product pages are or may be a bit imprecise on this subject, e.g. about Nokia E7 it is only said it has Bluetooth 3.0.
To my knowledge there are no Nokia phones to date that support 3.0 HS certification.
Nokia N8 supported 3.0, but not the High Speed. You may notice that with the N9, Nokia actually took a step back to bluetooth 2.1.
An interesting (however not so fresh) article on this: http://www.gsmarena.com/wireless_n_bluetooth_3_speed_test-review-551p4.php

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() {

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 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 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;

System.out.println("GPS return no data");

'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.

Bluetooth connection not working on US Nokia phones from J2ME Midlet (MIDP
Hi All,
We are developing a J2ME midlet (MIDP 2.0 ,CLDC 1.1)which makes bluetooth connection to other devices.The bluetooth
connection is working perfectly on indian nokia phones with Airtel as carrier.But when we deploy the same midlet on Nokia E71
US phone with carrier as AT&T ,the bluetooth connection is not working.The sample code is as follows:
public void run(){
try{
StreamConnection connection = (StreamConnection)Connector.open(btConnectionURL);
// open an input stream to get some data
InputStream in = connection.openInputStream();
byte[] serialData;
readData = true;
while(readData == true){
int lengthavai=0;
lengthavai = in.available();
if(lengthavai > 0){
serialData = new byte[lengthavai];
int length = in.read(serialData);
System.out.println("data read: " + new String(serialData));
dataViewForm.append(new String(serialData));
in.close();
connection.close();
}catch(IOException ioe){
ioe.printStackTrace();
when we try to connect on US Phones],the execution hangs at the following line of code:
StreamConnection connection = (StreamConnection)Connector.open(btConnectionURL);
No exception is caught.
Our midlet is not signed.
In the Forums it is said that the problem is with the unsigned midlet.AS some of the US carriers block the secure API usage
on Unsigned midlet.
But our question is, if we buy a code signing certificate from Verisign or Thawte and sign the midlet, will this problem be solved.
Any other alternative solutions for this ???
Immediate help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
YashYou might want to read this before buying a certificate:
http://javablog.co.uk/2007/08/09/how-midlet-signing-is-killing-j2me/
It's not my blog, but I pretty much agree with what it says. Unfortunately the network operators can control the access 3rd party trusted certificates have, so even if you sign with Verisign for example, the signed midlet may not have any more privileges than an unsigned midlet, depending on network. They do this so that only midlets signed with one of their own certificates have unrestricted privileges forcing anyone who wants a useful application to buy it from the network instead of downloading an equivalent freeware version from Getjar for example. Some networks are worse than others, so signing your midlet will allow it to work on more phones than an unsigned midlet. I think Verisign have some info on AT&T on their website.
The whole MIDP specification for security is a joke, IMHO. I don't mind unsigned midlets flashing up a warning once during an application. Writing 20 files, for example, will give 40 security warnings for reading writing data which is ridiculous, as the user obviously either trusts the app or he doesn't. No one runs an app that they only sometimes trust.
As far as I know the only mobile manufacturer so far to see sense is Sony Ericsson. All of their new phones from Java platform 7 onwards allow unsigned applications access to the file system, bluetooth etc with just one warning when the applications starts.

New iPhone 5 can't find any Bluetooth devices. I have reset the network settings without any luck. I have an iPad which can't find the iPhone but can find my old Nokia phone on Bluetooth. I want to use Bluetooth with my hearing aids, which work fine with the Nokia.
In terms of what is happening, when I turn on Bluetooth, I get "searching" under the devices section but no devices are found. Grey Bluetooth icon beside battery life icon.
Anyone solved this problem?iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

Cheap nokia phone with bluetooth audio
Hi, I'm looking for a cheap Nokia phone that'll work with my car kit for calls. I like the 225 but that doesn't do it apparently. So something similar if possible.
TaA) Nokia 215, first model of Series 30+ which got Bluetooth HFP added.
B) Nokia 208, last model of Series 40, even offers stereo-music (Bluetooth A2DP).
If the Nokia 208 is not avialable in your market, please, have a look for the Nokia 301 (Series 40). If you go for the Single-SIM variants of a Nokia Series 40 based phone, you even get Bluetooth SIM-Access which is required by car-kits with external antenna. Another option would be a used Nokia E52 (Symbian/S60) which allows even Internet access for the next couple of years (because it supports SHA-384 hased SSL certificates). -
IPhone is not connecting to my nokia phone via bluetooth
iPhone is not connecting to my nokia phone via bluetooth.How to transfer contacts in my Nokia to iPhone
What upgrades are you talking about? If you already own an iPhone you clearly have enough money to afford one of the most expensive phones on the market - and you clearly have an internet connection, so there is no further cost involved to sync via WiFi or the internet connection you already have, using any of the free services to do just that.
If you insist on syncing via Bluetooth you'll have to pay for an alternative phone anyway - which would cost you more than just using the features your existing iPhone already has. -

if your phone has an older BT firware, i dont think it will ever be updated, i have not seen nokia doing that, i doubt nokia will start doing that, just like S60...
I have not yet seen any nokia phones with BT 2.1 in fact the only nokia devices with BT 2.1 are 2 headsets that are not even released yet, the BH-103 Stereo HS and BH-703...
and any nokia phone having A2DP does not mean it will support BT 2.1 and/or be able to upgrade to it... -

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.

help me pls,, i just want to know the right procedure in reformatting nokia phones. i mean this,,, *#7370# ,,,
do i need to remove my sim card and mini SD card? someone who really know about this,,,pls explain it very well and for the sake of others also,,
are there more ways to reformat nokia phones aside from this *#7370# ?????There are several levels of formatting. You never need to remove your sim or memory cards because these are not touched during the reset procedures.
Reset to factory defaults (*#7780#) : Restores settings but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc). This works in the same way as selecting it from the phones settings menu.
Full Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.
The hard reset is more aggressive and has been know to solve some hardware issues such as non-functioning bluetooth. It's also the only method that may work if the phone cannot boot up.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
It may take a few attempts and very flexible fingers! -
Hi Friends,
I am planning to buy a Nokia phone with following features:
1. At least 2 MP camera
2. Good picture Quality
3. Easy to load pictures into PC and vice verca also.
2. Video recording with best resolution
3. Email msg sending
4. Stereo speakers
5. FM Stereo Radio
6. MP3 ringtones/Downloadable
7. Easy to transfer data into PC and vice verca also without any problem.
8. Good memory (At least 64 MB)
9. GPRS
10. Bluetooth
11. USB Port
12. MP3 Player with best Quality and Sound
13. Good Battery life.
Please suggest me which phone should I buy?
(Actually I am planning to buy Nokia 6233).
Will this phone perfact for all above features.
Please make sure there shouldn't be any problem with any feature.
Please suggest me.
Your advice/reply would help me in buy the phone.
Thanks
DeepakThe 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) -
Nokia Phone Configuration Settings
This subject is not covered under any other headings so here goes
I have ordered standard and advanced settings for various Nokia phones from the the Nokia website
Why is it that with some phones like the 6230i and the 6101 when the settings are installed, there is automatically a selectable access point to activate as the preferred access point and with other phones like the 6103 and 6233 I have to manually configure a personal access point before I can activate it. I am writing about GPRS / Data packet preferred access point for use by java applications.
I have tested this for various operators
This is a settings issue for preferred access point and I know it has nothing to do with web settings or service availabilitymadann, newer phones do not have this option anymore. If you create an SMS with your URL and save that to the archives, you are able to start from there. An alternative are PROV files which you sent via Bluetooth. Did that help?

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.
Stuart, HollandHi..
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..

What I want to see in Nokia phones
In 2000, I switched from Motorola to Nokia. Last month I got my sixth Nokia phone, the E71. I will continue to buy Nokia phones as long as the following are met. Similarly, any of the following not met will give me reason to switch.
1. The power charger must remain the same.
2. Dialing out on tether is a must!
3. VOIP (wifi and GSM/UMTS) like the E series would be necessary.
4. The screen size has to grow. The E71 is same as the E65 and my 10-year old daughter's 6120.
Nokia should abandon the PC Suite and stick to its day job of making great phones. Let others, like Microsoft, do software. Just provide the drivers (modem and mass storage). I have not touched the PC Suite for many years now. I dial out from my notebook through the E71 using standard Vista Bluetooth drivers. However, I am unable to export my SMSes which I have accumulated from the last three phones. I am waiting for the day when the SMSes can simply be dragged out in one .txt file.

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.

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.
