Nokia 2600 problem - SMS restarts phone!

I have an old 2600...earlier today I recieved a message from a friend, and whenever I try and open it it restarts the phone!!
No way of deleteing it...what's going on?
Thanks,

friend you received a virus most probably ie why when you open the message it makes the unit restart.need to update the unit that is the only way to get rid of that virus all data will go.

Nokia 6300 problem sms

when im writing sms it shows 1000 characters when i get to 890 it shows second messege being writed, shouldnt it be 160 characters per sms, what can i do, help

The phone can cope with a message up to 100 characters, but the SMS system allows for much less so the message is broken down and sent as separate messsages to be reassembled into one complete message by the receiving phone.
The total characters per message sent over the network is typically 160 characters, but may be less if you have the full character support switched on (which you may need depending which language you are writing). I don't have a 6300 to hand, but I thing you go:
Menu>Messaging>Message settings>Text message>Character encoding and select "reduced support".

Hi, vinodpanwar.
Welcome to the forum.
What's your phone model? Where did you purchase the phone? Where are you located? Were you able to use the Nokia MixRadio service before? Which connection are you using during the registration (Wi-Fi/cellular data)? Please take a look at this link for further explanation about the error that you're getting:

Nokia 5800 freezes, needs restart - problem starte...

Hi there,
I think I have a fairly unique problem, but I hope someone here can help me.
I have a Nokia 5800 which is fantastic, apart from the very annoying problem that the phone will freeze and ultimately crash about 50% of the time when I flick the key lock after it has spent a bit of time on, but not being used (in stand by). I will press a button (e.g. to bring up the dialler, or even just the menu screen) and the phone will obviously register the command (tactile response, and button will highlight), but not respond. If I leave it, it *might* eventually load, but any further inputs are met with the same overly sluggish response. It basically becomes unusable, and I have to switch it on and off again. If I have tried to press too much, ultimately even the on/off button won't respond, so I have to remove the battery. Once the phone is started up again, it's fine - until the same thing happens again about an hour later. As I'm sure you can understand, this makes the phone totally unreliable, and therefore not much good at its core function of being a phone!
This started happening the evening after my number was ported from O2 to Orange. I thought it was the phone itself, so I put the factory settings back on, then updated the firmware, and still I suffered the same problem. I took the handset back to the shop I bought it from, and got it exchanged for a brand spanking new handset today. I got it home and....same problem. V20 firmware was pre-installed on the new handset.
I am now thinking that this problem could be related to the number port - the week and a half before I did this, I had no problems with the phone whatsoever. I just wondered if anyone had any further insight on this, and if it's even possible for a number port to stop a handset working correctly?? Any suggestions or ideas are extremely welcome, this is driving me mad!
Many thanks.

Hmm. From what you've described, it doesn't seem to be related to the number port/SIM card.
If you press and hold the middle button (menu key), what applications do you see running?
The symptoms you described is quite new to me and I haven't had that happen on my 5800.
My next thought would be something new that's been installed. On both the original and replaced phone, were there applications, video files, or something that you installed after you got the phone? Include applications from either from Download! or external sites.
Does your phone come with pre-installed software from your network, i.e. a network variant?There are variants in the phone software customised to the network's specifications. In general, I find that a lot of major complaints about software issues tend to come from phones which have been customised by networks.
Unless someone else can come up with an idea, you could try the steps below (some of which you tried already, but can always try again):
1. Reboot your phone: Switch the phone off. Take out the battery. Wait a few minutes. Put it back in and switch the phone on.
2. Restore original phone settings: It will be under phone settings or type *#7780# in your phone's standby mode. No data will be lost, but you will reset all your phone's settings back to the default.
3. Hard reset: AKA the 3 finger reset. [not applicable for version 11. It's for 20.0.012 and presumably higher], you do a hard reset with the phone off and pressing the following buttons at the same time -- green "call" key, red "end call" key and camera button.
NOTE: Step 3 will remove all personal content and data added after the original default state. So you might want to do a backup using Nokia PC Suite's Backup application and/or backup to your memory card before you do any of those steps.
Otherwise, you may want to go back to your dealer (if it's still an option) or take your phone to be assessed at your Nokia Service Centre.

I did the 5.1.1 update over wifi, had update issues, then updated on Itunes no problem, now my phone continues to freeze and restart, any suggestions on how to correct this - thank you

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

Hi Abdrhmanxd,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
In order to fix the issue, please perform a soft reset: type *#7780# on the keypad. The default lock code is 12345. If issue persists, please perform a hard reset. First of all back up your data using Nokia Suite. Then type *#7370# on the keypad.
Please search for Wi-Fi networks again.

Okay. You are not entering the correct passcode. If you forgot or it is not taking your passcode then you will have to restore.

Nokia 6210 Problems with using Edge (Internet Conn...

I have a Nokia 6210 phone bought from an authorized Nokia Care Center in Delhi, India two weeks ago. The software version on the phone is 3.08 dated 11-June 2008. It also mentions custom version as 03.08.c00.01
I am an Airtel Prepaid customer in New Delhi, India and had been using Mobile Office service on my prepaid number for some time. It worked perfectly fine for my Nokia 6233. On my current Nokia 6210 the Internet connection works fine for the first time through the built in browser or though any other application (like Google Maps, Gmail etc) which required internet and displays the sign signifying that the edge connection is active.
The problem is that once I close the application the standby sign for Edge network is displayed as follows and no matter what I am unable to use the internet connection on the phone again until I do the following
Restart the phone (which definitely isn’t a good option)
Wait for around 8-10 minutes after which the Edge on hold sign disappears and is replaced by which means that the edge is available
I found this out accidentally, but if I press the keys *123# which I typically use for enquiring balance, the on hold sign goes away and is replaced by the Edge available sign. after which things work fine.
Not sure where the problem is. I really doubt it’s got to do something with Airtel as the same number worked perfectly fine with my previous Nokia phone in the same area. In addition my wife’s phone (again an Airtel prepaid number) is working great in the same area. So either this has got to do something with the handset or the compatibility of the handset with the Airtel, New Delhi.
I have tried various sets of setting from the following sources
The wizard in built in the handset
Getting the settings from the Nokia site
Getttng the settings from Airtel Customer Care
But with all of them I am facing the same set of problems.
Wanted to check if anybody out you have ever faced a similar problem with this phone or one in a simlar series?

I suggest that you don't make permanent coupling between devices. Looks like Nokia modem is more responsive when you need to manually accept every connection at the phone's end.

Nokia 2600 classic - how do I get the back cover o...

I have just bought my first mobile phone ever, so am a complete novice; I have tried to follow the instructions to press the release button and take off the back cover to fit the battery, but I cannot get the cover to open.
The main question is, am I trying to open the phone at the right end - i.e. if the phone is face down, the end nearest to the loudspeaker?
I am loathe to use an implement on the phone in case I damage the case.
Any advice would be very welcome - I feel so stupid!
Thank you.

nothing to be ashamed of, we all have problems with certain phones sometimes.
the back cover of the 2600 is quite big and covers the whole back side plus sides of the phone that's why it's difficult sometimes to remove.
the release button is located at the top of the device , with the phone facing down press on that button, remeber that the body of the button is actually part of the body and not of the cover and so performs as a latch.
while pressing hard enough on that button you can fell that the button goes in enough distance to clear the whole thickness of the back cover plastic. Now wedge your finger nail between the cover and the body anywhere at the top of the device, that should give you enough lift to release the upper part of the cover.
pull up and slightly backward to release the lower part of the cover.
for a diagramtic representation , please take alook at your user manual, available here:

Nokia 2600 Classic calendar synchronising with Nov...

I have been successfully using the sync capability for a year or so on the version of pc suite prior to Ovi, for managing my calendar appointments (using Novell Groupwise) on my pc then uploading to my phone Nokia 2600 Classic.
Now that I have downloaded the Ovi suite to my phone, the synchronising no longer works, although all other elements of the software works ok.
Can anybody offer any advice?

Hi all,
just to follow up on this issue, I thought some might like to know I've been in touch with the novamedia.de support team. They sent a new version of the plugin, and now I have calendar syncing via bluetooth working (like a charm). However the contacts syncing is still one-way only, from the phone to the computer. Will post here when (if?) this is sorted out
Cheers

HI guys,
I STRONGLY SUGGEST NOT TO BUY THIS MODEL!!!
I hv bought this set and am struggling too! I hv bought this set only because, this supports data sync with PC. I hv given it back at the service center but they r clue less. U cannot write anything from PC to Mobile via bluetooth. More over, data cable is not supported by this model, which is agreed by the service center people.
I am gonna ask for compensation for this if they r not able to resolve this problem.
They can't take the consumers for ride like this.
I hv provided them with good support, in the nokia PC suit, the handset shows a lock symbol after pairing. It means there is some software lock which prevents us from writing to mobile from PC.
Any opinions or solutions solicited.
Regards
Prasanna
