New Nokia 5310 XpressMusic Power Adapter "Hizzing"

My girl and I upgraded and got brand new Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phones today. I just noticed a slight "hizzing" sound coming from the power adapters when the phones aren't plugged in for charging.
When you do charge the phones, the "hizzing" sound almost goes away. I thought it was just her phone, but I noticed the same problem on my phone adapter
Anyone else experienced or noticed this? Is this a known defect? I just hope this isn't like the batteries that had the overheat problem and dell had to do a massive recall. Mainly I just don't want to come home and find my house burned down.
Curious George

What you're hearing is normal for a switch-mode power supply not under load. It's nothing to worry about. This said, you should remove the chargers from the wall socket when they're not in use anyway in order not to waste energy and not to wear them out prematurely.

Headset to Nokia 5310 Xpressmusic

Hi,
I'm new here.
I have a bit of a problem I got a new headset to my nokia for Christmas present but I can't use it! It does not fit
It says it should fit my phone and the phones have the Nokia logo. ???
The model is Nokia Stereo Headset HS-47
I can put connect the headset to my phone only halfway but not completely and I don't dare to push in the fear of destroying my phone.
Is this headset the right one for my phone? anyone here who uses it?
Help...

My headphones do work!
I tested them this morning. It was just me who was afraid to push a little. Weird thing is though that with my other headphones (I got them when I bought the phone) just one of the earpluggs work. The left one. Not the right. It works fine on a cd-player though. So I will use them for that.
Now I have new headphones.
The adapter I have to use can be a problem but I hope not.
So for last. Anyone that has Nokia 5310 Xpressmusic phone, you can buy Nokia Headset HS-47

Dear globalguideline,
Welcome to the Discussion Boards!
The "master codes" are a myth, and don't work!
If you forgot your phone's security code, only a Nokia Care Point can reset the security code.

Can I charge my new ipod using firewire power adapter?

Just got my new 30GB ipod and realised that it doesn't come with power adapter to plug in directly in power outlet.
Can I use the firewire power adapter which I have leftover after my 3rd gen ipod died on me?
Also can I use the firewire to connect it to my powerbook for charging and song transfer? I thought firewire is faster than usb2 then why new ipods don't come with firewire cable anymore?
Many thanks.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

think if you do your research and read up you will see the USB2 is indeed faster than Firewire. I actually did a few test on a dual G5 using both the Firewire and USB2 and in all my test, USB2 was faster.
If USB2 was faster for you, that's wonderful. I'm not about to start arguing with you over it.
What I can tell you is that you're certainly in the minority if this was the case for you.
USB2 has a theoretical maximum speed of 480Mbps. While this is certainly a higher number than Firewire 400's 400Mbps, Firewire will still vastly outperform USB2 in almost every case. It is near impossible to get anywhere close to 480Mbps with USB2. Even under ideal conditions, USB2 still has to contend with other processes on the machine, and other devices in the bus.
This is the nature of USB's design.
It is not uncommon for Firewire to reach near maximum speeds consistently. This has been proven time and time again.
Like I mentioned already, if USB2 is faster for you... go ahead and use it. I'm not going to tell you otherwise.
I'm quite sure I've done sufficient research on this, as well as many other people in this industry, and these forums. Perhaps it is you that might want to do a little more reading.

Voltage of new Mac Mini (2009) Power Adapter

I want to take my new my new Mac Mini overseas, but when I received it I was surprised to see the power adapter rated at 100v-120v only. The tech specs on Apple's website list the line voltage as 100v-240v and I assumed the power adapter would follow suit. Both my iMac and the power adapter for my macbook are dual voltage.
Can anyone confirm that the new adapter is rated only up to 120v? Apple Support seemed as miffed by the discrepancy as I was. Additionally, Apple does not seem to have a special dual-voltage power adapter for sale. I would like to be able to plug the mini into a 220v grid, but will not do so unless I can find a definitive answer to the question above.
Thanks.

Thanks for the information, but I think we are talking about slightly different things. The watts are equal to volts * amps. I believe the power brick ensures that the mini is powered by 110W, but the the brick itself has to be appropriately rated for the local voltage or else it will not function correctly.
For instance, if my mini power brick is truly rated for 100v-120v and I plug it into a 240v outlet, then I would expect to hear a pop and smell some burnt electronics. It might spare the mini, but the adapter could fry. I speak from experience--I was careless with a treadmill in the past.
I believe that you mean you use 240v power and your adapter works fine. Could you do me a favor? Could you look at the small print on your mini adapter and see if it says 100v-240v or something else? If it says 100v-120v and it still works in the UK, then mine might be ok for 240v as well.
Thanks again.

Compatibility of new apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter L-style and Macbook Pro, mid 2007

My old Magsafe (T-style) is broken and I need new one, but I have dilemma: Is new Magsafe L-style adapter compatible with my Macbook Pro, mid 2007 15.4-inch: 2.2GHz (MA895LL).
Please reply.

Just looked at the warranty information with an earlier version power adapter (one for PowerBooks) and it is one year. That seems to still be the standard Apple warranty for Apple branded accessories.
Call Apple, go to an Apple store or go online and get it replaced.

New Macbook Pro Penryn Power Adapter Whine/Buzz

Hi all,
While I was using my new 15.4" 2.4Ghz MBP Penryn last night I heard a high pitched whine coming from the area. I tracked it down to the power adapter that was plugged into the wall. I tried it on several different outlets in my house and heard the same amount of whine.
Interestingly, that if I have the adapter plugged into the wall, it doesnt have to be plugged in to the MBP to hear the whine. This is reassuring as it doesnt appear to be anything from the MBP causing this.
Has anyone else heard this type of whine from a apple power adapter?
Jeff

I do not know if we are talking about the same thing, but I wanted to at least add my situation to the thread to help others in narrowing down the issue. I am experiencing a strange buzzing issue right out of the gate with my new 2.5Ghz MBP. It is on the right side and is a constant low pitched buzzing that sounds either like a fan or hard drive. The best analogy to a sound would have to be the noise a loose wire, on a home audio system for example, sounds when not properly connected. This noise is pretty annoying in a quite environment and not something I could say sounds appropriate. I have never heard such a consistent noise in the in the nine years I have been using apple notebooks.
I called apple care today and they said it is increased fan speed due to the smaller chips and higher processor speed, which is total bs considering I just had a 2.4Ghz MBP. I am slightly irked by the fact that customer support would come up with pretty pathetic explanation such as that and obviously bothered by this noise even more.

Nokia 5310 (XpressMusic): PDF reader????

Search online for an hour - nothing.
Simple question: "Where can I find a free download of Adobe Acrobat Reader for the Nokia 5310?"
The question might be "Does this model's Symbian OS s60 not support any Acrobat Reader?"
From the website: http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/5310_XpressMusic
"Graphics Formats: BMP, GIF87a, GIF89a, JPEG, PNG, WBMP"
So - PDF are NOT SUPPORTED, correct? Or is there some software (free, preferably) to download for a Reader of PDFs???

Answer my own question:
1) Not all Symbian OS s60 support Acrobat Reader.
2) Despite misinformation (online & from salespeople) Nokia 5310 is an "s40" NOT an "s60" phone.
3) The 5310 is just a music phone with a camera. That's really it.

Screen freeze on nokia 5310 xpressmusic

i recently bought a nokia 5310 xpress music phone and when i turn it on it says "unable to switch on push to talk" then it allows me to view menu for a while then it freezes.. I've taken it to the phone shop to get it sorted but apparently it will cost £47 to fix.. anone any suggestions????????

do you not have warranty anymore on this phone? if you are in Europe the warranty from nokia is for EU at least and UK 2 yrs i belive. if you are out of the warranty period you may have to pay for the repair. before you do that is your phone udpaded with the latest firmware? if it is not then i suggest you update via NSU (nokia software updater) you can download it from nokia site. and try to see if there is an update for your phone.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Nokia 5310 ExpressMusic power down at random

Hi, got this 5310, bought in Thailand, got new danish software on it, and just updatet it, with the neweste software update, but the damn thing, just power down at random, even with a fully charged battery. Help me

Removing it from the case eliminates any possibility of something shorting out against the case as well as giving you a chance to examine the back side for discoloration or burn marks.
not sure exactly what to look for, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary on the back of the mobo.
I have a strange update... at first I could use the monitor with my old pc, but an hour ago when I tried to hook it up, it did the same thing it does on the new computer. Lights flash on and off, doesn't come on permanently. This is veeeery strange, because it technically rules out all the hardware in my new pc as the cause of this. To make things stranger, the monitor connects to onboard just fine. It only malfunctions when connected to the Geforce 2 or my new 7900GS. But I have gotten both pcs to boot, monitor included, before. It doesn't make any sense. Early yesterday I had the monitor connected to this old pc through the Geforce 2. Late last night, when I tried to connect them again, it adopted the symptoms of the new computer. So it seems like this problem has to do with the monitor, but I find it strange that it decides to become defective the very same time I'm building a new pc. Plus, it DOES work with onboard.
ugh...

New 8GB Nano + old power adapter ?

I was just wondering, I ordered my new 2nd gen nano, wheter I could use my old Firewire-Ipod-Poweradapter, that went with my old 1st gen iPod MINI, to power up my new toy.
Are the li-on batteries of tghe new nano compatible with the firewire power connector from 2004? Paying another 30€ for a new AC-Adapter (USB) seems pretty lame for me...
8Gb nano (2nd), 4GB Mini (1st) Windows XP Pro

The Firewire AC Adapter has a firewire port on it.
A Firewire-to-DockConnector cable is used with it.
The firewire end of the cable connects to the AC adapter, and the Dock Connector end plugs into the Nano for charging.

Nokia 5310 XpressMusic won't read MP3 tags

Hi,
I got the 5310 for Christmas of 2008. For a long time it was reading MP3 tags just fine (up until maybe three or four months ago). But, now, it seems that most of my MP3s I transfer, it won't read the tags on it. Usually if the album art is embedded to the MP3 it'll still read that, but it won't read song title, artist, album, track number, etc. However, this doesn't affect ALL of the MP3s. Maybe 15-20% of my MP3s are still read, even though they're tagged with the same program at the same time (I've tried tagging with both foobar2000 and iTunes and had the same result as far as what the phone will read). I don't know why it does this; I can open files directly off of my phone to foobar2000 and iTunes and both programs read every tag on every MP3 fine.
Does anyone have suggestions for what to try to fix this? Maybe a different tagging program or something to do to the phone to get it to read the tags. It gets really annoying not having the option to sort by artist or album.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The music player reads ID3v2 tags and NOT ID3v1. Make sure that you have them in place. Some PC applications show and modify only ID3v1 tags. I don't use either of the apps that you mentioned, so, can't tell you if they are doing it. What I would suggest is to check the ID3v2 tags using Winamp/jetAudio (in windoze) or BMP/mplayer/amarok (in linux), and if necessary, update it and then transfer back to your phone.

Reinstall Nokia 5310 XpressMusic Firmware?

Yeahh.... what the title says. I want to re-install the latest firmware, or better yet, downgrade it. Latest NSU doesn't let me reinstall, it says I already have the newest. And I really can't go to a Nokia Care Center right now. What do I do?

Same problem for N79, its a server problem. Just wait few days and retry.

Changing Language on Nokia 5310 XpressMusic

Hello all
I got a question i bought this phone in China and there only got as language Chinese and English and i cant write finnish word like Ä and Ö.I guess this question asked before but i didnt find any answer so i ask here my self >.
So is there any way to change my phone language to Finnish?
Thanks

That is correct. Installation of software unrelated to the product code of your phone is something only a Nokia Care Point can do. The product code in your phone is that of the model distributed in China, and Finnish is not one of the languages normally supported by that product code.

IMEI No not available in NOKIA 5310 XpressMusic

I couldn't locate the IMEI no.
No lable in the handset.
pressing *#06# also not display the IMEI No.

Possibly it could be a counterfeit. Although some counterfeits have their own clone IMEIs - mind you, 1 batch for about 100 units shares the same IMEI?
- Just got it from a source.
