Connection lost between Nokia 616 Car Kit and a No...

I recently upgraded from a Nokia 9300 to an E71, but retained my Nokia 616 Car Kit. The Nokia website confirms that the E71 and 616 are compatible. My E71 has been paired with the 616 and configured as User 1 in remote SIM mode. The E71 Bluetooth settings have been set up so that it will connect automatically, without asking authorisation every time.
The E71 connects to the car kit without a problem, when the car is started, but often looses the connection during the trip. The 616 will then display “Connection Lost”, followed by the request “Reconnect to User 1?”. Strangely the black “User 1” phone icon is still displayed in the top right-hand corner of the 616 display. When I push the Navi Wheel it attempts to reconnect, but every time it comes back with the message “User 1 Not Found”, despite the fact that the phone has not been moved and is still less than 1m from the 616 controller. I can only reconnect after the vehicle had been switched off and restarted, i.e. when the 616 reboots.
Why does it frequently loose connection? A number of times I have noticed that it looses connection when I drive through an area with no or a very weak cell phone signal. I don’t think the cell phone signal strength should have an effect on the Bluetooth connection between phone and car kit.
Why won’t it re-connect? I can’t stop and switch off the car every time the connection is lost!
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, I have bought a car with this equipment and I have the same problem.
I tried following:
PAIRING:
- first from the phone discover Bluetooth accessories - it will find the N616
- enter the code to the phone
- N616 ask for the same code as you enter to the phone - enter it
After this, the phone is paired, but not connected.
CONNECTING:
- then set up Bluetooth in the phone as visible
- try connect (as user 1 or user 2) from N616 to the phone - you do not need to specify which phone has N616 to find - it will find your phone if it is visible (one step before)
- if everything is OK, your phone is connected
- you can access the menu, reset N616 to factory settings - but you need to make all steps again
This list works for me, any other steps not...

Can't connect or reset Nokia 616 car kit

I've just bought a used car which has Nokia 616 Car kit fitted. I can't connect as either user and I can't get to the infamous standby screen to get into the menu to do a reset of the settings. I've tried holding down the "hang up" button to get to the screen but nothing.
I really would like to get this piece of kit working as I will find it very useful.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks
Ant

Not sure myself, but tyr disconnecting the power from the kit as I think that will reset it.
If not go into the bluetooth menu of the kit and reset it
Please see the attached link with the instruction book

N8 with Nokia 616 car kit

Advice anyone? I'm pretty sold on getting an N8, due to the fact that Nokia seem to build a robust phone that gets better reception than most others when used as a phone. The only real issue at the moment seems to be that it will not be compatible with my nokia 616 car kit (possibly the best car kit ever made, and still being sold today). Does anybody know if there will be an upgrade to get around this issue or, any other solution? I gather that it's possible to get other makes of 'smartphones' with BT3 to connect and work with the 616... so why can't the N8, especially seeing as they both have NOKIA stamped on them??

I do not have N8, i have N97mini... but i have that carkit.
My findings are that with E71 and N97mini there was trouble involved. You can pair, you need a special software on E71 to get the contacts downloaded, and both do loose connection after a while.
Sometimes there is no connection at all, and then you have to switch off and on the bluetooth on the phone to get it working again.
E71 then was obviously fixed with new firmware. Bluetooth was stable after the update. On N97mini i am still waiting for some improvement.
Did also monitor car-bluetooth topics in this board. There are several users complaining, that their devices did work with very old mobiles, but not with the newer ones.

Nokia 610 car kit and Nokia 6500 Classic phone

Hi,
Has anyone else had problems connecting a Nokia 6500 Classic to a Nokia 610 car kit. The handset won't remember the pairing and I have to enter the 16 digit passkey every time I start up the car, even althouth the "remember pairing" feature is activated. Other models of Nokia handsets connect fine

I have managed to download the contacts with the N95 by installing the "download Contacts" application on the N95.
You HAVE to make sure that the paring between the two phones is deleated, then that the "download contacts" app is running on the N95 before assigning the SIM again from the 610, entering the passcode and then choose YES to the questian "Download contacts?"
The only problem is then that the contacts display as Lastname/firstname as opposed to firstname/lastname which is my preference and I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to change this. Still I cant have everything I suppose. At least its keeping the pairing without having to enter the passcode everytime which is still the case with the 6500.
Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this passcode problem? Or been able to display the contacts downloaded from an N95 as firstname/lastname?
best regards.

Nokia 610 car Kit and E 61 phone contacts

Hi
I have just got the E 61 which is working great except for uploading my contacts to the 610 car kit. Anyone any ideas? I have checked out a few discussion groups and they looked hopeful but when I tried some of the recommendations they didn't seem to work.

Hi and I just got a E61i and I understand thatI am unable to use a motorola blue tooth and the amazing thing is that I was using the motorola blue tooth on a 7610 phone which was more than two years old.
Also do you have any idea as to how I could activiate the dictionary option when typing a SMS.

URGENT Connection lost between 10.5.4 Server and 10.4.11 & winXP clients

Hi,
We are running into a big problem. We just upgrade our server to a new Xserver 8 core running OS X 10.5.4. Previously the server was and older Xserver running 10.4.11, we didn't have problems then.
After the connection is established everything works and the clients that are running OSX 10.4.11 and windows XP can see the shares via NFS and Samba.
After an hour or so of working, the clients start loosing the connection and the shares mounted are not accessible anymore. To regain the access we need to reboot the client machine or disconnect and rejoin the domain.
Each client machine losses its connection independently from the other clients, this means that some people still have access while others don't.
The connection between the Mac server and the Mac clients is done using NFS, for the windows clients is using Samba.
Thanks a lot!!

For starters, use AFP for Macs, not NFS. Seriously.
Check the logs for smb and the system logs, and post relevant error messages.
Next step consider wireshark or tcpump to watch your network traffic and try to capture
a client droppage/disconnect if at all possible.
Also post the UNedited result of (using the terminal):
sudo changeip -checkhostname

E50 & 616 Car Kit - Messages unavailable

I have an E50 paired with a 616 car kit using the Sim Access Profile and it works well.
All the contacts come over, the 'proper' recorded voice tags work and the signal is much improved by using the external aerial.
But .....
If I receive a message whilst connected, once I 'return' back to the phone, the Messages menus are nolonger available.
In order to send or receive messages, I must switch the phone off and back on again - then everything is as it should be.
I have the latest firmware in the E50 - any ideas ?
Regards
JonP

Hi
I ahve posted before on my extreme frustration with Nokia and the E50. As a replacement for a 6230i (I think) it was nothing but a relentless waste of my time as I tried to get the phone to do the most basic things-like show the phone book through the MMi system (Audi A6)
Eventually I went to local retailer (our business contract supplier also useless) and tried to pair up a W880 add a K810i. Both pair but do not display any info-though the 810i did show the signal strength indicator once.
Imagine my reluctance then when a 6300 did what was asked.
It has not been used in earnest yet but it does seem to work. My dreams of leaving nokia behind forever cruelly shattered. This conspiracy to change standards and leave long term customers in the lurch is wrong and bad business. Maybe when I change my car...

N95 drops connectiohn to 616 car kit

Hi
I've had a 616 car kit working reasonabley well with my N80 in sim access mode for almost a year - it occasionally lost connection and I had to restart the car kit to re-establish the connection. I've had an N95 for 2 days and both days within about 5 minutes of connecting the car kit shows lost connection with N95 and the phone has no signal indicator there is just the 3G at the bottom. It does show it is in remote sim mode. The only way to get it working is to switch off and restart the phone.
Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
Andy

Just to add weight to this thread I have the same problem, reliable operation with N80, but my N85 sometimes gets into a state where the phone is stuck halfway into remote SIM mode and the 616 cannot connect.
I have to turn off the car kit, turn off the phone, turn the phone back on, then finally reboot the car kit and it usually, but not always, comes abck up.
This often seems to happen when I have had the car unlocked, but the ignition not on, so the car kit may have tried to start but not fully, though this could be coincidence, would love to hear if anyone finds a solution for this!!

Nokia 610 car kit

Please help! I have the above car kit and I think it's great, everyone is impressed who gets in my car. However I would like to change my phone as it's getting very old and I've had it since it came out, so a few years!! It's a 6230. I'm desperate to take advantage of some of these new contract deals with free gifts etc but can't as I've been told the kit can't be used with any other phone. Is this true? Can someone please give me the good news that another Nokia phone can work with it so I can upgrade! Or can I buy some new software for the kit instead of having to buy a whole new system?

Hello,
I had same problem with E51 and Carphone Kit Nokia 610. After long research i got it done.
1. Step download and install Nokia 610 Contact Download Application for Nokia S60 3rd edition devices On your E51. It is available on the Nokia site:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4160018
2. Step Connect the Car phone 610 with your E51
important!!! if you tried this before with your phone delete all saved Bluetooth connections in your carphone and in your E51.
switch on the bluetooth in your phone and start the Contact Download Application. It is important that it is running during the connection procedure between carphone and E51!
I hope I don't have to tell you that the phone must be visible and the remote SIM mode has to be enabled.
Switch on the carphone choose external Sim Card and search for Bluetooth devices. When your Phone got found try to connect. You will be asked for a access code, wait some seconds and in the display of the carphone will appear a 16 digit code. Accept it and wait until your E51 is responding. Type in in your E51 the 16 digits code and the carphone and E51 get connected.
3. Copy the contacts:
after the connection is established the Carphone askes for copying the contacts from the phone. Confirm and the Copy procedure is starting automaticly.
When i was trying it, it was not working the first time. But the next time when i was starting my Carphone the connection was done automaticly and the Copying of the contacts also worked fine.
Ciao Tim

Nokia 610 Car kit / phone

Hi, I have a 610 car kit and would like to buy a new phone, dose any body have a list of compatible bluetooth phones?

Long and short of it, good luck with your new phone. Nokia have still gone without explanation as to why their 6280 and later phones would not operate with the 610 despite the fact that the handsets do support Bluetooth Remote SIM Access mode. Seems like the moderators here are quicker to delete a controversial topic than to explain the decisions they make.
If you had a 616 and Nokia pulled the same stunt in the future, you would at least have a good chance of the newer phone working in normal handsfree mode as opposed to SIM access. Some 6280 users have reported that they have been able to get the 610 kit to work with it but that's blind luck considering Nokia insist that the 6280 is not compatible with the 610.
My best advice to you with your current setup is to ask the salesman if you can both go to your vehicle and test the phone's compatibility. If it functions, then you're onto a winner. If not, buy a 616 kit, change over the display unit and main unit (the display unit may look the same, but its firmware isn't) and then eBay the 610!
I'm just glad I bought a 616 from the get go.

E65 + Nokia 610 car Kit ?

Hi all,
I currently have a 6230i and a nokia 610 car kit, all works fine most of the time.
I plan to get a E65, but I want to be 100% sure it is compatible with car kiy 610.
On this forum I only found 1 topic stating there is a bug in downloading contacts, wich seems to be confirmed over the internet.
QUESTIONS :
- Is there an official answer from Nokia ? or do they just let us test and find out on our own ?
- did anyone already had both working together with no problem ?
Thanks for your answers ;-)
Rangoon

Hi twtw
This has been subject of another post, whereas "Contact Download" application was previously available for S60 2nd edition phones this has now been removed from Nokia sites and is now only available for S60 3rd Edition Nokia 3250, N71, N80, N91, N92, E60, E61, E62, and E70
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

E60 with 616 car kit

I am trying to pair the E60 phone with the 616 car kit in sim access mode. The phone and car kit go through the pairing process and generate the 16 digit code. The pairing completes on the phone but then the car kit requests a further pin code. Whatever code is then input is incorrect.
Has anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong.
I have successfully paired a 6230i in this way but with the E60 I can only get it to pair in handsfree mode and not sim access mode.

The pin its asking for is your sim card pin number as the 616 car kit takes over as the phone so it needs the pin to access the sim card correctly. Same as if you stick your sim card in another phone. See page 20 of the user manualMessage Edited by krytens4000 on 06-Oct-2006

ChaRM configurtn-No network connectivity in between DEV-QA1 to QA2 and PRD

hi Experts,
We are planning to implement solution manager for CHaRM configuration.
Our Landscape is something like this...
ECD(DEV)->EC1(QA1) and
EA2(QA2)->EAP(PRD)
we are not having any network connectivity in between DEV-QA1 to QA2 and PRD. DEV and QA1 are in one network and QA2 and PRD are on other network.
DEV and QA1 are connected and QA2 and PRD are connected.
Now we need to implement ChaRM from Dev to PRD, so please suggest me how to implemet this. Whether this is possible or not? what different settings we have to do from standards.
It would be very great if you suggest us on this.
thanks
narpal

Hi Raghu,
we are moving the files (Co files and Data File) manually from QA1 to QA2.
We are runnning one batch proggram that moves the co file data file from QA1/DEV to one spefifyed folder/server/device.
And then from this device/folder to QA2 we are moveing manually.
Now same way whether we can move the files in case of ChaRM configuration? Please suggest?
thanks
Narpal
