Import phonebook from E50 to 3120 Classic

Dear fellows, I've just exchanged from E50 to 3120 Classic phone. Before returning E50 I backed up my phonebook in my 1Gb memory card, and each contact appeared as a vcf file. Then, I put the memory card into my 3120, and the files are there, but 3120 does not recognize the vcf files as phonebook entries.
How do I solve this? What is the file type that 3120 works with and how can I convert vcf files into this?
I really appreciate your help, since I have 200+ contacts which I do not intend to type one by one into my new phone.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Rodrigo

well the fundamental issue is that you have moved from a business oriented device to a very basic phone, e50 is a s60 phone 3120 is a s40 phone they work on different platforms therefore compatability is an issue here. did you try to copy your contacts to the sim card while using the e50 and then just swap the sim card to your new phone? a new sim card - under 2 years old or so should have capacity for up to 250 contacts. ifyou say that you have only about 200 you should be able to do so without any issues.

Importing Phonebook from Motorola Razr

I have a Motorola Razr and want to import my entire phonebook into Address Book. I have bluetooth and isync setup but can't seem to get the numbers off the phone into Address Book. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I've been doing a little bit of searching and found this site:
http://mac.themotoguide.com/getconnected.php
If you use a Verizon Razr, it's a very complicated process in which you have to reflash your phone to a different firmware, and mod it to be able to use the verizon network. This is because Verizon altered the firmware on the razr so that you can't connect it to a computer (because they want you to BUY their ringtones, etc.) Any company that would do something like that won't get my business. I use Cingular, and the Cingular razrs should be able to connect fairly easy using the above link's instructions.
EDIT: I just found some additional info. Apparantly you can sync your phone with Apple iSync (built into Tiger.)

Import messages from Nokia 3120 Classic to Nokia 2...

Hello everyone.
I recntly bought a new Nokia 225 to replace a Nokia 3120 Classic.
I thought it would be esay to transfer contacts and messages from one to the other with the Nokia PC Suite.
Unfortunately, PC Suite doesn't seem to be able to manage the 225.
I can't imagine that it is not possible to transfer at least messages from 3120 to 225. It is very important to me because some of these messages come from departed friends and parents.
Do you know a method (that works!) to backup messages from my old 3120 and restore them to the new 225?
Thanks in advance.
Jean-Louis

Hello, jelodagh. The only option that you can do is to forward those messages to your Nokia 225. Note that the said phone model supports USB Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) mode. It means that you can only transfer media files between your computer and your phone. Let us know if you need further assistance.

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...

Help for a rookie 3120 Classic user please

Just purchased a 3120 classic. wish I had checked here first as the backlighting thing (or lack of) is really annoying. My question is - are you able to set a signature on your outgoing text messages? my very old Sanyo allowed me to have my name automatically at the end of all texts I sent, which I found convenient. Thanks in advance for your help.

You can't do that but you can compromise by creating and saving message template with your name at the end and creating all your messages from that template but I don't think you can set a shortcut to the template itself for your standby screen so getting to the the point where you actually start typing in your messages will now be a few extra clicks

FM7 for Macintosh can't import PDFs from Distiller 8.1.2

I'm not sure exactly what day I updated my Distiller 8 to the latest 8.1.2, but now, PDFs created with Distiller, whether from Frame in Classic or from an OS X app, can't be imported into FrameMaker 7 for Mac. I get an error that Frame can't load the document (39251:-1) and the console posts this error:
] Error in function TryToImportPDFIntoObject, status=IMPORTPDFCantAddPDFFacet
Setting Distiller to save down to earlier version does not work, and neither does opening it in Acrobat and doing a save. However, I am not out of luck: If I distill it with Apple Preview, it works fine. Also, PDFs made with earlier Distiller work fine.
Frankly I don't expect any specific answers, but I thought I'd post my "God Save the Macintosh" rant anyway!

SOLVED!
As suspected, my problem of not being able to play or import CD from iTunes 8.1 was internal to iTunes (with a little help from me). iTunes does not recognize the drive letters of A: or B: I wanted the drive letter configuration of my computer to be C:SYSTEM and D:DATA, so I changed the optical drive to A: just like the old floppy drives used to be. (Going old school.) Since iTunes will not accept that, I changed the drive letter of the optical drive to O: (for optical) and everything works.
To do this, go CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM AND MAINTENANCE>ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS>COMPUTER MANAGEMENT>STORAGE>DISK MANAGEMENT. All your drives should be laid out in front of you. (If your optical drive isn't listed, you might have to insert a disk and from the menu bar select ACTION>REFRESH.) Left click on your optical drive to select it and then right click on Change Drive Letter and Paths... Select Change, enter any unused drive letter greater than B: (D: is common by default, O: seemed to work) and OK your way out of it.
Changing my drive letters has probably left me open to problems from other programs that don't taken drive letter flexibility into account, but iTunes works for me.
I am e-mailing this to the Apple tech who tried unsuccessfully to help me, placing suspicion on everything except the coding of iTunes. Hopefully, Apple will put this in their knowledge base, because it seems to be a common problem and few know the solution.

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 Classic music files.

Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library

I am aving trouble importing songs from CDs. I completed the process as instructed - using the "import this CD" button (I have done this many times successfully).
The import process ran OK. When the Import process completed, I looked in my music Library and the songs were not there.
I repeated the process - same result. Nothing in my music library.
What should I do?

Re: [iPod classic] - Re: Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library
Thu, Feb 09, 2012 08:01 PM
When I load the CD, iTunes recognizes it and asks me if I want to Import the CD.
When I click on "Import CD", the song titles are retreived and show up. The iTunes bar at the top of the screen shows "Importing track 1" or "Importing the song by title". Each song is imported, and I can see each song being impotrted via the iTunes bar at the top of the screen. iTunes shows that the CD has been imported, and the system dings when the import is done.
This is exactly the same as every other time I've imported CDs. The only difference is that the songs do not show up in the library.
Thanks

After importing photos from a digital camera the thumbnails are blank.

I purchased a new iMac a few months ago and had no problem with transferring (and viewing) my iPhoto library onto the new computer. However, now when I import photos from my iPhone or camera, the thumbnails are blanks (with little dotted lines around them). In order to view the picture I must double-click on the image. This makes it a difficult to locate photos! Help me please.

I just got the iPod Classic and I don't see anywhere in the manual that I can still do this. Is it still possible to import my photos from the camera to the iPod?
No, the new iPods do not have a camera adaptor able to do this. Why Apple have decided not to make a suitable adaptor available (the old one won't work with the Classic), I have no idea.

Mail app crashes when importing mail from Netscape.

I have been using Netscape 4 in classic mode for years. I have a HUGE inbox that I need to keep for reference purposes and I would like to switch to using Mail. Mail crashes when I try to import my mailboxes. I moved all my mail to the newest Netscape and tried again and again it crashed.
Is there a third party program that can help this along?
Imac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) G4, OS 10.3.9, 800 MHz, Power PC 256 MB SDRAM

Is there a third party program that can help this along?
You might want to take a look at Eudora Mailbox Cleaner - it can import mail from Thunderbird to Mail so I guess Netscape Mail should be fine as well:

Transfer data from 6210 to 3110 classic ?

Yes I know its pathetic.....but I finally convinced my old man to gove up his 6210 and buy a 3110 classic instead. Now he is swearing cause he cant firnd out a way to transfer his contacts, appointments etc. from the old to the new. (Apparantly transferring to the SIM card is not working....)
My suggestion was of course to backup the old into PC Suite (ver. 4.81) and then restore it into the new. (Using ver.6.85)
But I really do not know whether that is possible ??
Anyone has any ideas, tips or suggestions ?
Rgds. Kaer

I have the same problem; My 6210 was recently stolen, but I have an old backup of my contacts on my PC using version 4.81. These are all as .ncc files.
Now I have bought a 3110, but seem unable to load that data in to the phone as it only works with version 6.85, which has a new internal file format (SQLite?) and doesn't recognise the .ncc files.
I'm going to try, using version 4.81, to "Export" all the contacts in to "My PIM application" (which I don't have, I'll try Outlook Express which I've never used) and then fire up version 6.85 and try to "Import" them from there back in to the 3110... I'll let you know if I get anywhere!
We customers are just sooooooooo loyal - why won't Nokia reward us by making a *single* version of this software that works across *all* the models? New models and features could be handles dynamically, using plugins...

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 rubish

I received my Nokia 3120 Classic 2 days ago and since receiving it I have been trying to get the Backlight to stay on for more than 2-3 seconds and have now decided it will not allow it to be changed this makes it the most RUBBISH phone ever produced and I have thrown it in the rubbish bin and will head down to my local phone store tomorrow and pick up a Sony Ericsson or something (Definitely not a Nokia ever again.
My last phone a Nokia E65 I had to get rid of because it would always drop out of lock and end up phoning people in my pocket also it cut off incoming calls when you tried to remove phone from pocket and you inadvertently touched a button. What the hell has happened to Nokia they were once great now they are just **bleep** (don't care if they remove this or gets flamed as now no longer interested in anything Nokia so won't be back)

NSU stands for the Nokia Software Updater (you will find the link to download it here) But right nw i saw that you device is yet not compatible . In that case if your phone needs a firmware update then nokia care centre is the only way out.But, before that try all possible things sujjested by other users.
In case you would like to knw what are the risks involved while updating via NSU, your phone needs to be fully charged. In case the device shuts off in between in process,your phone needs a care centre job after that.you also need to back up your files before using the pc suite and restore it when the update has been done.
