Clearing Nokia 6280 Memory Vefore Sale ?

I have sold my nokia 6280 mobile phone on ebay (sim removed) but how can I be sure any personel imformation of mine isnt still stored on the built in memory card ? I done a factory reset yet a picture of my dog is still In the Images, I did have notes relating to my bank etc.

deleted info can be retrieved with the right software but the chances of some random ebay buyer having it will be next to none. no-one in there right mind would buy a phone at a high price (im guessing) on the of chance you had bank info on there. so as long as you deleted it before you sent it you can sleep easy at night.

I have just got my nokia 6280, im trying to send an mms and i get an error msg saying memory temporary full try again later...can't see why my memory would be full as i have only downloaded 1 song onto it, can anyone help me?

My wife had a similar problem with her 6280 after downloading a tune from a pc to the phone and trying to take a photo. The only way we were able to sort the problem was to delete the song. After that, the camera was able to take photos

Unable to clear the phone memory.

Hi Nokia...
Could u please help me out of this problem. I bought Lumia 720 3 months ago. I m using an external memory card from the first day i started using it. Inspite that my phone memory is going on filled up day by day. Now only 200 mb space is empty. There is no image, no music files no videos, nothing saved in my phone memory. But then also its only 200mb space is empty. When I first started using it there was approximately 4gb empty space. Could u please help me that how should i clear the phone memory... Thank You

Hello,
I too am a Nokia Lumia 720 user. I went to the 'Storage Check' section, and checked the breakup of the memory usage, which showed 808MB temp files stored. I clicked on 'Clear' and now it shows 727MB of temp files stored. I tried clicking on the clear button multiple number of time, but it just doesn't clear those files. It's stuck on 727MB. Kindly help me with this predicament. Thanks a lot.
Not all the files in "Other" storage are unnecessary/unneeded/temporary files. There may be system files, mail attachments, app specific files and if the Clear button cannot clear all of them, that means they are used in some way.
"Other" files are the files which cannot be classified as Music/Video/Photo/Document, but that doesn't mean they are unused files.
If your "Other" usage increases dramatically, especially after installing a specific app, then it's time to worry. But in normal usage conditions, 1-1.5 GB is OK for "Other" storage

Nokia Messaging memory usage

Hello,
Couple of points related to Nokia Messaging
memory usage. Nokia Messaging stores, by default, 2kb of each message
on the device. Even if you have hundreds of emails, they don't take up
much space until you start getting into attachments.
The
deleted items folder in Nokia Messaging does not clear itself
automatically in this release, so if you've been deleting a lot of
emails on the device and are encountering issues with memory, go into
that folder and choose options to empty it.
We are
investigating the memory consumption on the N97 with Nokia Messaging,
as some of you have reported. The reason we don't offer message
storage on the memory card is that removing of the memory card with the
messages stored on there could cause some serious issues with correctly
syncing your email.
We do hear you on the calls for
storage somewhere other than the C drive. The amount of space that the
emails should take up on your device is minimal, but we are open to
feedback and fixing problems as they arise.

As netoak stated in the above post. My problem with N97 is the same, I have a number of applications that needs to be installed on (E) Mass Storage. By running these applications and have a message comes through. Be it, text, picture, multimedia, it will get stored on the phone memory which eventually gets full and can only be deleted as it cannot be copied or moved (connect to PC back up, delete original from phone memory and then restore from PC to Mass Storage is a royal joke) to Mass Storage.
What good is a flagship phone that meant to be rich for multimedia when a couple of e-mails or messages with attachments will render it's useless.
So if these issues below are not looked at I'm soon to trade my N97 in for something else, and neither are my friends and family going to get N97 because they already know that their non-N97 phones works fine and mine is having loads of issues.
Surely these can be fixed in the next major update of your firmware?
- Functionality to copy or move selected message from C to E. We're jumping through hoops just to do the most simplest of tasks like moving messages. Inability to move messages and e-mails between these two storage locations is really, really, 1990's and not mobile computer as Nokia trying claim N97 is.
- Settings to be persistent that messages go to E when stuff on E are being used.

Nokia E72 Memory (RAM) Problem

Hi everyone,
I recently installed Opera Mobile 12 in my phone and have been facing RAM problems a lot lately.... After I surf the internet for sometime, i frequently get the messege showing ''Memory Full: Please Close Some Applications and Try Again''... Its not that I faced this in earlier versions of Opera Mobile but it was less frequent and multitasking was easily possible.... Now, other programs (like whatsapp, mobipocket reader, music player etc) cannot be run along with the browser and most of the time I minimize the browser, it exits and often, it exits while i'm still browsing.... Sometimes, when I get the memory full error, my theme disappears and the default theme of my phone loads up instead.... Can I work a way around this problem?? According to my mobile guard, the Opera eats away around 30-35 MB of RAM... When i boot up, I have around 45 MB of RAM available.... Can I increase my free memory so that I can browse, chat and listen to music side by side with none of the processes getting automatically killed?? I've tried workarounds such as the ''KillMe'' app to close unnecessary processes and although it frees some RAM, the problem still persists... Please help...

Nokia 6280 problem transferring music from PC to P...

I am a bit of a novice when it comes to phones but I recently purchased a Nokia 6280. I have downloaded PC Suite version 6.82.22.0 and am using a CA-53 USB cable to connect my phone to my PC, however I am unable to download any tunes to my phone. I keep getting a message stating that there is insufficient memory on my phone. This I find hard to believe as it is a brand new phone with new memory card
I am using Windows XP, Build 2006, Service Pack 2.
I have checked the help page of PC suite and in relation to the Connectivity Cable Drivers it states "Not Installed"
PC Connectivity Solution is 6.43.9.0
Outlook version 11.0
Build 8010
Bluetooth Stack Version 5.1.2600
Build 2180
I am also getting a message saying packet data connection not available when I try and access things such as the internet or vodaphone live for example. Can anyone assist me with either of these problems
Many Thanks

I guess you have used the nokia website and arranged to receive wap/GPRS settings by text..haven't you?

How unfortunate, I'm sorry to hear (or read)!
The operating system is still there in ROM (Read-Only Memory), but apparently something else failed. Maybe the memory got full due to the recording, and the phone has problems handling the situation (even if it shouldn't).
If the 6280 isn't supported by Nokia Software Updater, http://www.nokia.com/softwareupdate then I think your only available option is to have a Nokia repair center take a look at your phone (in case they can figure out what happened to it, and revive it).

Nokia 6280 mains charger

Hi
i was just wondering if anybody has had issues with thier stock nokia 6280 charger both mine and my mate have had the end (bit inserted into the phone) snapped off.
cheers

I got a duff one sent with the phone. I returned the lot as it was a contract. They in turn returned the phone and charger with two letters enclosed (stock letters I reckon) one stated that the phone was ok and the second letter said that the battery charger was un-serviceable and I would need to buy a new one. Well, I waited for about 3 days and decided to buy one for £5 They did send me a replacement eventually after a further week. I was totally fed up.
Everything seems to be ok now, but the phone's battery has a short charge life and not enough memory IMO.
I have a charger at work and one at homenow.
I wish I would have gone for a Sony erickson walkman something like the W800i

Nokia 6280 - MiniSD Password Lockout - non accessa...

I've a Kingston 1GB MiniSD used with the NOKIA 6280. Was working fine for the last few months. Recently, I've notice a "Set Password" in the menu, and would like to protect the data on the MiniSD. After setting the password, I could not access the memory card, nor access to the password function to remove the password. Could not even format as the MiniSD is not shown on menu or anywhere in the phone, as lost. ANYONE, Please advice soonest solution, as I've important data all stored in the card.
I’ve also search the WEB for solution and seems that most there is many such cases but no solution, Is this a bug in the NOKIA 6280 or the KINGSTON MiniSD, please advice.
Truly greatful...

I had the same thing happen to my memory card in the 6280.
Purchased a new 512mb card and also noticed a protection service available on the menu. Requested this and couldn't access the memory card anymore.
The phone didn't recognise that it had a memory card installed and i couldn't find any menu where to un-protect the card. Tried formating the memory card in both my laptop and camera but both said that the card was protected and couldn't format it. Ended up taking the card back to shop and the kid behind the counter replaced it with a new memory card.
It sounds like another software issue with this un-reliable phone.Message Edited by nickrov on 04-Apr-200702:03 PM

rwethereyet,
Keeping your pictures safe is definitely important! Once you have synced the saved pictures to your phone you can transfer them from the phone to your computer. Are you using the Verizon Cloud Desktop app?

Firmware upgrade for Nokia 6280

I would like to know do we have firmware upgrade for Nokia 6280 as my present one is 3.65 and would like to upgrade it to 5.92 and I am in India
Could you please help me out.

updating to new firmware depends on product code which represents your region of purchasing, language pack and if it's branded or not .... so NOKIA releases firmwares and release it for every product code depending on mentioned points
you can check for updates @ :
http://mea.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
To find what the latest available device software is, you’ll need your device’s product code. The code is printed on the white label beneath the battery (e.g. CODE: 0520001).
if your phone is branded with an operator, that means that you should go to the operator care center and ask them, not NOKIA
some updates delay in some countries variant product code, as it requires more effort to add language pack to it like "example. China Japan Korea" or it needs the country to approve it due to its policy

I need restriction code For Nokia 6280

Hello all,
A friend got a Nokia 6280 as a gift from the UK, the phone is on 3 network. each time the phone is put on it asks for restriction code. I don't have the code and do not what code to use.
Hoping to hear from you guys.

Hi giggsonic
This has been discussed many times on this forum including the sticky thread at the top of this board..
http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=hardware&message.id=69
Basically the restriction (sometimes called unlock) code would have to come from the original network.
