DKU-2 USB Cable

Hi all,
I have a DKU-2 USB cable I used with my lost S60 Nokia 6620 (6600 european equivalent). Is it compatible with my new S40 Nokia 6133 (6131 equivalent I think)? I am not willing to pay for the new recommended cable if it is just OK to use the old DKU-2 (even if it is slower).
Thanks,

Thanks to both of you, Petrib and the_mik.
I was just afraid of even trying it. Actually I do have to use it because the driver for the new cable won't even install. It complains telling that I already have another driver installed. Not true, I un-install the 2 year old PC Suite and DKU-2 driver and run a registry clean-up before attempting to install the latest PC Suite. My XP Windows installer is the version 3 something.
And that's true, the 6133 package in Canada comes only with the phone and the charger.
Thanks,
jprola

DKU-2 Usb cable connection

Hi all,
Just purchased a DKU-2 usb cable for my Nokia 6230, i installed the pc suite software which came with it and then tried connecting my phone to the pc as the wizard stated, it then froze while attempting to connect the phone to the pc. I then had to restart the program and i then clicked on connect me at the bottom right and it then came up with an error message "there is no available connection type, and therefore connection to the phone cannot be established, the wizard will exit. The phone itself is still recognized as new hardware by the computer.
Can anyone solve my problem?
Thanks

What version of pc suite supports a dku-5 usb cabl...

Hi,
My problem relates to establishing a connection between my Nokia 6100 and a desktop running Windows XP Home SP 2 - 2 Go RAM and fitted with all the bells and whistles....
Advised by an "expert", I bought a dku-5 usb cable to discover that my current pc suite version (5.1) does not support this kind of cable but on the contrary requires a serial cable (dku-2 type). I believe this is also the case for versions 5.8 and 8.5
I found out that the installation program linked my dku-5 cable with com port #4 on my computer.
Am I bound to buy a dku-2 cable or is there any way to establish a virtual connection between an usb port and a Com port ?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards to all.

The important thing to understand is that most new Nokia phones that have a possibility to connect a cable are real USB devices, but some are not, although physically you connect the phone in PC side to USB port.
See this list:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4678148
to check what cable is suitable for what phone.
The only NOkia cable that needs a separately installed cable driver is the old DKU-5. All other NOKIA cables require you to install Nokia PC Suite and the cable drivers are included in the PC Suite package.
There are countless non Nokia cables available at the market, some of them seem to work OK with Nokia cable drivers, but some require their own driver and some seem not to work at all.
Hello, Manta,
Here I am again still trying to connect my Nokia 6100 with my desktop. After a Google search about "Nokia 6100 driver update", I ended up onto a site offering a download of an updated version of Nokia PC Suite 5.8 clearly mentionning the 6100 model as being eligible for connection. I subsequently downloaded this program which is actually a .exe file.
My problem now is : what is the proper installation sequence ? I have 2 cables available: DKU-2 and DKU-5. Should I install the .exe first ? At what point should I connect my phone and which cable should I use ? I'm afraid I cannot use the "hardware installation" option since I don't know what directory the new drivers will be written to.
I hope you will not tell me my situation is desperate ....
Thank you for your atttention/help.
Regards

How to communicate with a PC through a DKU-2 USB cable?

Could you please give me some hints on how to send data to a PC through the DKU-2 USB cable on my Nokia 6630 phone? I suppose I will need a J2ME MIDlet application on the phone and a J2SE application on the PC to receive the output but I am a beginner with J2ME and can't figure out where to start from. Can the javax.microedition.io.Connector class be used to achieve this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

Why doesn't my dku-5 usb cable work anymore with n...

I have a Nokia 6100 and have used a cable DKU-5 problem free for 4 years
Sychronized my phone as per normal yesterday.
On quitting PC Suite, it informs me that a software update is available, so I press okay.
Now I appareently need a new cable CA-42
Why doesn't the DKU-5 work anymore????Message Edited by sabhop on 11-Dec-200701:08 PM

I'm having the same issues. I am using the iPhone 3 version 4.3.3 and I am trying to play movies on my TV that I purchased from iTunes using the Apple composite cable attached to my iPhone. There is sound but no video. You can see the movie playing on the iPhone but the movie does not play on the tv. However, if I go into music videos under my iPod icon on the iPhone, those do play on the TV with sound and picture.
When you download a movie from iTunes and save it to your iPhone, does it not already save it in videos? I have them under my iPod icon on my iPhone and then I click videos to view. Music videos, TV shows and movies are all in the videos tab under the iPod icon.

Connection lost with DKU-2 USB cable for 6230

I got tired of trying to solve connectivity problems
with the bluetooth device and bought a new cable.
It seems that neither the Bluetooth or the Cable can transfer more than a few MegaBytes in one shot ("Connection to mobile phone lost").
I have upgraded to the newest 6230 firmware (05.35).
I'm Running Windows XP Home Edition SP2.
I don't think this is a PcSuite problem since this
error accurs when I use the usb drivers too.
Suggestions?
Thank you.

Hi onearmfrog
Did you let PC Suite 6.83 update over 6.82 or did you uninstall it and Nokia Connectivity Driver first? I think remnants are left behind unless it is done manually and PC Suite Cleaner is used to clean up computer first.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Connecting 6300 with an ordinary mini USB cable

i can access my 6300 in "data storage" mode through an ordinary USB cable. after installing pc-suite(6.83), the software cannot detect my cable and i'm unable to use my phone in "Nokia Mode". Why does this problem occur?? Do I need a DKU-2 cable to access my phone through the pc-suite software?? plz help.
THX.

OTG = On-the-Go..
BTW refer to the Package Contents here .. Didn't you get the CA-179 cable ? or you are talking about the CA-157 that is shown here ?

What is different usb cable and direct cable?

What is different USB cable and direct cable?
Some cable detect by USB port directly like DKU-5.
But not CA-42 cable why it just simple cable. Also in market available fake is it working Nokia mobile phone

Hello,
These are two different technologies. One is USB oriented and another one for COM-port. I use CA-53 (USB-cable), which suits to the latest phones.

N80 USB Cable connection

Probably in there somewhere but cannot find it. Can anyone give me an idiots step by step guide to connecting phone to PC by cable. Followed guides but still not showing through PC Suite (nor in My Computer) It is showing via device manager in Wireless communication devices and ports. Have reloaded PCSuite from website to get latest. Have uninstalled and reinstalled cable drivers. Phone does sort of tell me that PCSuite is activated when I connect to PC but does not show via as above. There must be something I am missing. Please help

Broadly speaking there are two ways you can connect your phone to your PC - this also depends on what you want to do and how quickly you want to do it. The two methods are either by cable or by wireless - I would recommend that you focus on one method (cable recommended) and get that working and sticking with it.
The reason for this is that if you ever want to be able to run the software updater on your phone - you will never be able to do this wirelessly - this can only be done via cable. In addition to this, data transfer speeds between your phone and PC will be substantially faster using a cable rather than wirelessly.
I'm pretty sure the N80 comes with a PC USB cable similar to the N70, so the first step would be to ensure that your USB ports on your computer work (for example do other devices work that are plugged into your USB ports ?) - I would also recommend that you do NOT use any USB hubs and plug the phone cable directly into the PC.
1) Ensure you have PC Suite loaded on your PC and that the icon is next to your clock on your taskbar (the icon looks like a phone)
2) Plug your phone into your PC using the provided PC USB cable
3) Wait for a minute - you should see some messages popping up saying a new device has been found and new drivers are being installed for it. You may not see this if it has previously done this already so don't panic if you don't see them
2) If you look at the bottom right hand corner of your screen next to your clock (unless you have moved your taskbar) you should see an icon which will be in the shape of a phone - right click on it and then left click once on "Manage Connections"
3) Select (put a tick) next to the option which says "USB (DKU-2, CA-53, DKE-2, CA-70)"
4) Click the configure button
5) Follow the steps shown in the wizard
6) That's it - you're done ! Make yourself a cup of tea - kick back and relax !
Of course - that's how it's meant to work - however if you have problems, then please let me know at which stage you're having problems and what the messages are and I will do my best to help you sort them out.
Please be aware however, that I am a member of the public helping you out, and I've just started a new job and am doing some strange hours - so I may not be able to respond as quickly as I usually would to your message.
Thanks

I cant figure out why my HTC Droid DNA is no longer recognized by my computer when i hook it up with the USB cable that came with the phone.

I used to be able to just plug in my phone with the USB cable to my Windows 7 computer and browse phone storage with no issues. Now my computer sees it as an android phone but when it tries to automatically install the drivers for my phone on the computer, i get an access denied error message. No option on the phone that i can see that allows me to mount phone as a usb drive. This used to work just fine with nothing more than just hooking up the cable. What gives??

Let's get that access granted again, e_rock_b. The HTC DNA doesn't have a special USB Mass Storage Mode that needs to be turned on. Usually, it's as simple as connecting and browsing http://vz.to/1jktbZD as you mentioned. If your computer is no longer allowing that easy access, try the steps at http://vz.to/1jktvr6.

Can no longer charge Nano with the USB cable

My iPod Nano (1st gen) won't charge via the USB cable any more. It will sync if there is enough battery life when I hook it up to the USB cable. However, if I leave it hooked up, it gets drained of all it's battery life. Fortunately I have a wall charger and a car charger and both of them will charge the Nano. It's a lot more convenient for me to charge it via my computer, but that's not possible any more. Is my Nano dying or is it possible the USB cable is damaged? If it's damaged, how can it sync but not charge? Why can I charge with other power sources but not the cable? Unfortunately, I don't have another iPod cable to test if the cable is damaged. If my Nano is dying, can you give me a rough estimate as to how long it will be before it stops charging all together. (I need to prepare my spouse for the upcoming iPod Touch purchase that will appear on credit card.)
Thanks.........Julie

Here's my own trial and error analysis of my problem. I hooked my iPod up to my old G4 PowerBook and tried to charge it from there. It didn't charge but it also didn't lose any more power that I could tell. I then hooked it up to my MacBook's first USB slot. I heard that the first slot has more power than the 2nd slot due to the way the 2 USB ports are configured. Unfortunately, the iPod appeared to have lost some power, i.e. the USB port drained some of the power from the iPod.
I'm guessing I need to take it in to have my USB ports checked out. I prefer to take it to an Apple store with a Genius bar that is 3 hours away instead of to our "local" Apple repair shop that is an hour away. I have Apple Care and I believe my local shop will still charge me for time.
Thanks for the suggestions. Until I find a day when I can take the long drive, I'll just charge my iPod from with a wall charger. I'm grateful the iPod syncs and I have an alternate way to charge.

Why does only the USB cable that came with my phon...

I recently acquired a Nokia Lumia Icon from Verizon. I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 computer running Windows 8.1 with the Windows Phone App for Desktop (WPA4D) installed. I had a very difficult time getting my Icon to be seen by my computer when connecting it with one of the half dozen micro USB cables I have laying around. WPA4D would not recognize it. Then, I connected it using the USB cable that came with the phone, and WPA4D immediately recognized it. Then I unplugged it and went back to a different cable - it was again not recognized.
What is different about the USB cable that ships with the Nokia Lumia Icon? If I want to order more, like from Monoprice, what do I order to get the same thing? Why is Nokia (apparently) using some sort of proprietary cable??
Thanks,
Eric

It is not proprietary.The charging/data cable for my GPS works.
A lot of the cables are just for charging and that is all they are wired for and they don't even have the data pin. Full size USB cables are the same way.
If I needed an extra I would get it from Nokia.

How do I use my iphone 4S wifi on my laptop via USB cable

Hi with my HTC when I connected it to my laptop via USB cable a list of options came up on my phones screen and one of them was to tethering. But when I do the same with my iPhone no options come up on my screen, so how do I use my iPhones wifi on on my laptop useing a USB cable?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
My laptop runs on windows vista and my iPhone 4s has the latest updates.

I want to use my home wifi signal to tether my iPhone to my laptop via USB ,as my laptops wifi card is broken. It worked ok with my old HTC desire as when I can extend it to my laptop it had a list os options of what you wanted to do and one of them was tethering, as I'm useing my home wifi I don't need to worry about my data usage. But thank you for responding.
