CA-42, Nokia 3120 and WIn 7 (or XP)

My wife loves her "really simple" Nokia 3120 - it does everything she wants
Unfortunately, we have just had to replace it (with another 3120!) and need to move ringtones from old to "new" phone
I have a CA-42 cable, but no longer the install CD
When I attach the cable to either Win 7 or Win XP SP3, the driver installation fails - so I am stuck at the first hurdle
Can I get relevant drivers from somewhere other than the install CD?
Thanks fror any suggestions

New Nokia 3120 and memory card

Hi there.
Yasterday I upgraded my old motorola to a brand new Nokia 3120.
In my Motorola I used the "Sandisk 1GB microSD" memory card, so I tried to put it now in my new Nokia.
I followed the instructions and put it in sucessfuly (I think), but I have no idea how I define the memory card to be the
phone's main memory source.
I tried to change the camera output folder to "Memory card" but it kept changing it back to "Phone memory".
Does anyone knows what's going on here?
Thanks!

Thats fine it works on your friend's moto after inserting that same card onto your nokia device are you able to access the content in it , are you able to install applications onto that card or you are facing the problem only when using the camera application which is reluctant to save your photos onto memory card one more thing you have to find out is the device capable of storing photos on memory card from camera application(check in the user guide)

Nokia 3120 Classic and iSync

Dear all,
I have a Nokia 3120 Classic and a fresh new MacBook Pro 2010.
I need to syncronize the contacts between the mobile phone and OsX. I tried with iSync, but the program said the mobile phone is not compatible. How can I solve this problem? Nokia does not have any support for Mac.
Thank you, kind regards.

Nokia does not have any support for Mac.
Nokia has very good support for Mac users, in general:

If they don't have an iSync plugin for your phone, try this Google search:

Nokia E90 and Linux... how compatible are they?

I am hoping to soon upgrade my current mobile phone (Nokia 6822) and separate PDA (a Palm Tungsten T3) to a Nokia E90. However, I have reservations...
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience about how the Nokia E90 syncs with Linux Ubuntu? I know it doesn't come "out the box" with Linux support, unfortunately, but what about after-market solutions and work-arounds?
I don't mind if I sync through a USB cable or Bluetooth, as long as it works. (I really want to avoid running WINE or something similar though...)
Any thoughts and suggestions appreciated...!
(And the day Nokia issues Linux support I, for one, will be a happy bunny!)
Message Edited by prodromoi on 11-Jan-2008 02:30 PM

Before you get your E90 you MUST think about support , I got 2 BRAND NEW and I have been a NOKIA costumer for more than 10 years (yes , I own 2 communicators of each model ever built and A LOT of accessories and other models as well...) The paint job started peeling off in about 2 weeks , wrote NOT COMPLAINING but looking for any advise , they replied that there is no support for E90 in Taiwan... but they still working good and I decided to cover them with plastic skin , later on they released an "upgrade" that does NOTHING and I did not check asuming that NOKIA of course will do things always thinking in functionality... to make it short ... 2000USD turned into garbage ...
After the upgrade none of them would recognize the backups I LOST ALL MY CONTACTS LITERALLY JOBLESS!!!!!!!!!!!
I wrote to "costumer care" that really doesn't care and they tried to convince me that a hardware reset will fix it , of course using NOKIAs for more than 10 years I KNOW THIS BUT IT JUST DOESNT WORKED.
So finally they say that I had to ship my units to Finland for them to check...
THEY DID NOT NEED MY PHONES TO BE SHIPPED TO FINLAND TO BE SPOILED RIGHT?
THEY SPOILED ONLINE , SO SAME AS THE "UPGRADE" WAS SENT , I SEE NO REASON TO SEND THEM BECAUSE A BIT OF LOGIC THEY JUST NEED TO RELEASE THE DOWNGRADE ...
After the OS "Upgrade"
-Not recognizing backups
-Browser not working or poorly performing and phone OVERHEATS to the point of hurt your hand
-takes about 22 minutes to reboot
-A brand new NOKIA battery will last for about 4 hours if you don't use the device (20 minutes in use)
-It turns EXTREMELY SLOW
-Battery meter shows full everytime , but after reboot it shows empty.
So ... just for you to know and consider , I do not know the new communicator N** might be good but for now I just don't feel like risking my money on them , and due to this I am probably getting another two smartphones from a brand that AT LEAST CARE A BIT FOR THE COSTUMER.
Wrote this because someone said there is no UBUNTU support ... the truth is that there is no support at all.
Sorry to step on your excitement about the E90
You can have the one that I still have if you want.

Maximum size for JAR files on Nokia 3120 Classic

I am trying to download and install a java app for a Nokia 3120 classic, but when installing I get an error message telling me that the file is too big at 5.7mb.
I can't find the maximum size of .jar files for this phone anywhere.
Can anyone let me know what this is and whether there is any way to get the app to work.
Many thanks.
Alan Watson

YES THERE IS A WAY!! I only got this information from someone else. Thanks for that person.
Here are the steps:
1. Download the jar file you want to install, to your computer. Now open My computer, and on the upper left corner you shall see a menu, click the "Tools" button and then click "Folder options..." A little window will appear. Click the "View" tab. On this window you need to find an option "Hide extentions for known file types" below "Advanced settings". Then unmark or uncheck the box.
2. Now when you open my computer and go to the folder where you had downloaded the java file, the file name will read "(anyfilename).jar". HERE IS THE TRICK.
3. Rename the last part of your file. Instead of .jar change it to .jpg so that it reads "(anyfilename).jpg"
4. Now copy the renamed file and paste it in your mobile's C: or Memory Card drive.
5. Once you had pasted, rename the copied file back to what it was. i.e "(anyfilename).jar"
BASICALLY the phone limits a file with a ".jar" extention, you can fool it by renaming the extention to ".jpg" and then once the file is copied into the phones C:drive you can change the extention back to ".jar" by renaming it.
Share it. Hope it works for you! God bless...

Nokia 3120-Review-Good or Bad / issues-plz solve

Hi,
I recently bought a nokia 3120 classic.My first impression was sleek,handy,stylish phone.But i realised the facts
Lot of troubles one need to take
1)Low battery performance-daily you need to charge even though it was rarely used
2)Speaker-Literally worst speaker for a modern phone
3)Interface:even though s40,its slow.sometimes hangs out.Major issue:after restart or n/w change it will take some time to come up
4)Camera-its good,but sometimes it will take time to come for camer to open after pressing camera key,you need to wait and causes you to miss catchy moment
5)Echo-again major trouble it seems,a bad echo and poor voice clarity
6)Backlight-no way you can adjust backlight duration,it will go off within 14sec,even before you typing a message(if you r not good in same)
7)no idea how the phone will behave at important times
====>>my s/w version is latest v 9.41, it will make no difference.
Y Nokia made this????
any one have a comment / resolution / opinion , most welcome
i just want to see it working fine.
Thanks in advance
Message Edited by hash008 on 22-Mar-2009 06:12 PM

My comment is it's a dud. The 3120 is my first nokia. I was led to believe they were reliable and easy to use phones. I was attracted to it by its sleek retro look. But its fuctionality is hopeless. Exactly what you said: Y DID NOKIA MAKE THIS???

Nokia 3120 Classic - restoring display menu

I was recently personalizing my Nokia 3120 classic and was trying to see what I preferred regarding the display (essentially the home screen). When I pressed the 'up' navigation button and then 'options' to changes what was displayed, I set all parts of the display to empty (when I first bought it, it was populated with a line of application/function icons - left to right in the top-most row, the date and time in the second row and 'notes' in the third row).
Now I can't get anything back, and none of the Menu functions allow me to make any changes to this part of the display. Restoring factory settings does not restore this either. There is no intuitive way for this to work on the 'home' screen as the options function doesn't exist any more (emptying the rows has removed the function altogether).
There is nothing to direct a fix in the user manual either.
Can anyone help?
Solved!

Nokia 3120 Classic music files.

I have an Apple computer with ITunes . Is it possible to download the music files directly onto a micro SD card , then insert the the card in the phone a listen to the music?. Nokia don't have Apple software , only PC software. Any way of doing this with music files on a Mac? Thanks

Nokia N82 and Microsoft certificate install

I got my N82 after using Windows Mobile for over 6 years I decided to get a phone that does email not the otherway round. I install MfE or Mail for Exchange and started sync'ng and was told to install a certificate. After spending the best part of a week trying to get the certificate installed I am stuck. The best resource I have found online so far is http://www.redelijkheid.com/symcaimport/ which allows you to upload a .cer file and then download it to your file. All the other sites talk about modify web sites and playing with the MIME, etc. That just disable the Exchange Sync default website since you need to overwrite the SSL port. Cannot use OpenSSL is I run Windows XP not linux. I see a N95 user had the same problem. If you copy the cer file, even if it is renamed it does not open on the phone if you export a .p12 it wants you to enter a "new key store password". I know with my last phone an imate I had to get a certificate install package, is there any such thing.
Anyone out there got any ideas or pointers
Unhappy email user, happy phone user

Might not help a great deal but you can use OpenSSL on Windows, but you'll need to compile it. How you do that, I haven't got a clue as I normally use Linux for that kind of thing my self.

Nokia 3120 Classic won't disconnect from internet?

Hi,
I was wondeirng if anyone can help me?
I've had my Nokia 3120 Classic for a month or so now, on the 3 network.
Whenever I load into Planet 3, to check my usage, read the news headlines, or I receive an MMS, I can connect to their internet fine, but no matter how long I leave it my phone does not disconnect.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to disconnect that I can't find?
Thanks in advance for any ideas or help!

I guessed it you were in planet 3 by just reading the subject.
You are from Australia rite..
I believe you have a plan with 3 network which connects automatically to the internet.
If you call 3 they will ask you to call nokia and Nokia will not know what to do cause it is due to your network and push you back to 3.
The only way to get around this is to delete the access point of planet 3 in access points.
but you might have to request for the setting every time you wanna use the internet.
You might also have a problem deleting the access point as it will ask to disconnect first which you cant.
-So you might have to go offline (flight mode) and then delete the access point.
However if you do use the internet regularly then it might be an hassle to get the access points every time so instead of deleting the access point edit it so it does not get connected( maybe change the data beareror authentication but remember what you have changed ) so you can re-edit if you wanna use it.
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

Nokia 3120 classic (message received time is wrong...

Hi.. got some problems with my nokia 3120 classic. I bought my fone 2 wks ago and decide to upgrade my fone to new firmware version which is 7.16, after the fone was updated i noticed that whenever i received txt messages, the received time is wrong.. it is i think 8 hrs late.. I'm txting my friends and when they reply, the received time display is wrong. Is this a bug for the new version? It's not synchronizing in my phone clock. Of course my phone clock is ok.. Message sent time is ok but the received time is wrong. Any suggestions? Pls help..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ok.. i've figured out already the problem. it's not on the software update but it is due to the GMT. i noticed that even your dates and time are correct, you must set your correct timezone from what country you were. if the auto update time and date is on, i think it varies on the timezone u set on ur fone so if your timezone is wrong, the message receive time is wrong too. well i already solved this.

Nokia 3120 Classic on Linux

Hi all.
Have anyone got Nokia 3120 Classic (http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-3120-classic) running on Linux?
I wanna be able to do all that I'm able to do on Windows, but on Linux. Is that possible?
Since I'll just run Linux, this is a crucial question in order to buy my new cell phone.
Thank you very much.
davi

You'll never be able to do absolutely everything on a mobile phone in Linux that you can using Windows or Mac software provided by the manufacturer. You will be able to do most, though.
The three things you usually end up doing while connected to the computer are:
1) transferring files to/from the phone
2) tethering the phone to the computer (uising it as a modem)
3) synchronizing contacts, calendar etc. with the computer.
1) is easy. You connect the phone in mass storage mode and it behaves like any other bog-standard device managed by the usb-storage module of your Linux kernel. It looks like an external hard disk or a pen drive. Alternatively you can transfer files via bluetooth using, for example, the KDE bluetooth client and server applications. I'm sure equivalents exist for GNOME.
2) http://linux.sgms-centre.com/nokiafaq/mobile_broadband/
3) is harder. Apparently you can use kmobiletools but I never did get it working and the software hasn't been updated for nearly 2 years. Personally, I use OVI sync to back up my contacts, calendar entries and notes online, and I have a backup to my memory card scheduled every day (you can't do the latter witn a 3120c AFAIK).

Nokia 3120 Classic - Going Online

I own a Nokia 3120 Classic and have now figured out how to use it as a modem to connect my computer to the internet, for the purpose of downloading emails. This is very useful when I am on the move and don't have easy internet connection.
But I want to know if I can reverse the process when I am at home. What I would like to do is to connect the phone to the internet by connecting to the computer and using the computer's internet connection.
The computer (XP Service Pack 3), connects to a wi-fi router and I connect the phone to the computer with USB data cable.
I am aware that it is not possible to connect to the wi-fi router directly with this phone model.
Looking forward to some advice.

Hi! i am not here to give you a solution. However, i want to know the way to use my 3120 classic as modem to Use Internet in my PC through my Phone. You might be aware that there is some problem saying that MODEM NOT FOUND. I have treid to find out the way but to no avail.
If you could mail me at [email protected] , the way to use 3120 Classic as modem, i'll be grateful to you.
Thanking,
