Nokia 3100 phone problem

Hello. It was at least a week back when my mobile suddenly stopped responding, it's shut down permanently. When I had luck and entered my PIN code(and the mobile didnt crash), when I tried to make any entry into it ( such as numbers, sms's etc.), it crashed. Once I have written a short sms, but that's it.
Now the mobile won't even power on anymore. And if it does, I enter like 2 PIN numbers and that's it. The battery appears to be charged.
I dunno. People tell me it's because it's old, some suggest it has been frozen due to the weather.
Model: Nokia 3100
Age : 2 years
Battery: BR-5C 3.5V Li-ion
Any problems like these in past?: Nope
Any ''hardware tweaking''?: No!!
I was commonly using it for 2 years, I really don't know what is going on.
I bought a new battery today -
(BR-5C). Inserted it in and turned on, nothing. So I plugged the phone into a recharger, after 10 mins it beeped and started recharging.
So I turned on the phone again, and the same problem occurred - ''Insert PIN code'' , after pressing a button or two the phone won't respond anymore and shut itself down after good 10 seconds. It turned randomly off and on, too :/
It'll be great if you could help.

have u stored too many ringtones,wallpapers etc in ur Gallery?and is there is only little free phone memory?if yes then that's the reason for ur phones problem(i faced the same problem when i was Nokia 3120 user).........if this is not the case then i think that it is a software issue,go to Nokia Care they will fix it up 4 u....good luck.

  • Nokia 3100 message problem

    When I receive a message I can only see the number of the sender at the top of the message screen, not the name of the sender although the sender is in my phonebook! Can anyone plese give me a tip of how to fix this?

    It sounds like you've got that person's number in your phone book twice... therefore the phone doesn't know which to display and just shows the number.
    Delete one entry, and see what happens when they call again.
    It could be one on your SIM card and one on the phone memory.

  • Nokia 3100 problem

    I have downloaded the games package, which comes with the Sun Wireless Toolkit 2.1, to my Nokia 3100 phone. I can�t open the games on my phone, the only option available is delete. I�m sure that my phone is compatible with Java2 but I can�t seem to get any programs to work. Does anyone know why they are not working? Thanks for your help.

    The 3100 is a MIDP 1.0 phone.
    I guess those games you tried downloading are MIDP 2.0 (since they were bundled with the WTK 2.1).

  • How to run our own jar files on Nokia 3100

    Hi,
    I am new to J2me.
    I have written an J2me application using CLDC1.1
    and MIDP 2.0 it works well on emulator but
    when i tried to run it on device(Nokia 3100) it displays an error "Invalid File"
    please answer my question as soon as possible

    Look at this link http://www.j2mepolish.org/devices/Nokia/3100.html and check to see if you aren't using some API which is not supported by your Nokia 3100 phone, or if the jar size is to big, stuff like that.
    Also, use a Nokia emulator for the Series 40 to test and see if it works.

  • My Own Concept Idea - Nokia Gorilla Phone.

    I figure a range rather than just limiting myself such as the Navigator Series, the E series, the N series, but this could be the G range or Gorilla Range. anyway i'd like to see this based on Symbian 60
     OK might as well warn you,i'm drunk now, i was drunk when i wrote it too, so i've not spell checked it or anything and to be honest not going to either until i wake up so here goes, if nokia can't take on iphone because they don't understand what 'bling' is yet. so anyway check out my concept phone idea.
     Nokia's Gorrila Phone
    Specs for: Nokia Survival Range - The Gorrila Phone
    This is all new, This is for the mountain climber, the skier the extreme sports, the swimming
    coach, anyone who works in a dusty or dirty enviorment, this is for the construction worker, the
    security gaurd, the police, this is for everyone who likes to venture out past their back doors
    and into the wild extreme world we live in, scared of going into a pub in the fear of dropping it or
    falling out, the Gorilla Phone can handle it.
    We first have to do a special technique to this phone to get it to be what people will need
    and want.
    *Waterproof
    *Sturdy Gel / rubber type case to protect it from drops
    *GPS
    *WIFI
    *Accelerometer
    *Compass
    *Barometer*
    *Signal Amplifier*/Better internal antenna design
    *All the frequencies we can fit on
    *Small Camera, nothing fancy
    *8/16 Gig of Memory for user content files and games images / videos
    *100+ meg of ram
    *OLED 320*200, enough to see a map on would be ok, a little larger than the Nokia 6110
    *Bluetooth *heart rate device
    *Docking Station (maybe compatable for future releases?)
    Able to squeeze as much power out of it as possible with say a 1amp/h battery
    All radio devices off mode except anything you select on the list to help conserver
    battery life or survival mode.
    AND
    Docking Station which connects at the bottom of the phone and then clips onto the phone, there
    will be 5 (or more) little metal pins that protrude out of the plastic phone which is slightly hidden out
    of the view due to the gel like case..
     [Nokia's]
     [Gorilla]
     [_Phone_]
    {  I I I  }
      [     ] (this is the docking station which just clips in and accesses the ports from the PC)
        DPV
    So basically once you cliped it on the 5 little pins (as soldered blobs protude gold coated
    to prevent wearing away
    (Sea water might be an issue, might stick a warning in saying not suitable for sea water due to errorison
    which will be down to you other than that the phone should work fine.... maybe a cost underwarrents to
    just replace those pins meaning a component could be designed to simply pull out with realitive ease making
    it cost efficient to both the user and nokia...)
    Other than being able to make actual phone calls maybe if that went under a thin peace of plastic that can be
    easily heard so that the case does not get in front of sound quality. and likewise near the bottom or some sort
    of attachment for a waterproof speaker. The electronics with the exception of the connectivity modual to make it
    easy to exchange the rusted component pop it out and replace)
    Battery / Sim Card.
    Pull off the battery case, some kind of switch to lock the battery cover into place to prevent it coming out
    even if you try yourself, the inner side  of the phone should have a waterproof gasket to prevent any kind
    of water coming through under the battery.
    Outside of the phone we appear to have 0 inputs but infact we actually have it with this simple docking
    station, the docking station is connected to the PC via usb so this way your phone simply clips on
    no fuss no looking around for a spare usb port, or plugging in the cable, the docking station makes it much
    more easier.
    ---- +
    ---- Data
    ---- Data
    ---- Whatever.
    The data can then be grabbed off the phone on the computer, the docking station, while docked it will charge
    the phone, it will supply USB 2.0 and transfer files between phone and computer, optional for later advances
    could be given on the docking station also USB/WIFI file transfer if not using the docking station
    Gorrila Phone Charge In(0) Such as, External Chager
    USB Out (which connects to PC)
    TV out (TV OUT)
    Headphone out (unplug the computer's USB)
    - etc
    Virtual Drive or Real Drive via Micro SD.
    Virtual would be for example this gorilla phone were the 8 gig internal is the memory card on E:\
    once connected to the docking station, you then have the unquie ability to put in an 8 gig memory
    SD card into the dockingstation and backup or use (from windows explorer) and be able to
    copy either from internal memory or external memory of a memory card you've inserterd, in terms
    this is a way of cloning your memory card as a backup, this could all be done with the docking station
    and a simple button of "Backup Memory Content" simply have a little Green LED and Red Led come up when
    you press copy, Green for writing/Reading, Red for Error, or maybe Orange for finished succesfully...
    you could then back up your phone to another memory card anywhere anytime... how useful's that! or even
    have the ability to use that dockingstation's memory with the mobile device itself and as long as it's connected
    you can even install programs on it.... 2 Drives, the posibilites are endless.
    So all the outputs we're all so a custom all now live on the docking station, so now what, the protection
    of the phone comes first, all the circuits have to be covered in a gel/rubber/glue expoy type substance
    and injected protecting the delecate components, it has to be essential to protect ribbin cables
    and other little pins and cables that have to stay firmly in place, also doing this will increase
    the circuity's protection against g-force and shock.. once all the gaps have been filled and all made
    sure to be very very watertight against dust and all else that is thrown at it...
    Now then the Gorrila Phone's key aspects
    *Survival of any keen trecker or explorer will need and want.
    *Tough for the toughest jobs, Construction Worker, Police, Law Enforcement, Road Workers.
    *can be dropped from X amount of feet (based on calculations done)
    *Survies water and dirt
    *Can be submerged underwater up to 30 Feet for 30 minutes or so? etc, give it an IP rating of IP-6
    Now then why does an explorer or hiker need this?..
    *Electronic compass will always point you north, combine this with GPS and you'll have
    yourself a way of locating your position and which direction you're pointing.
    *Barometer, small symbian application to interpret the pressure in milli bars, you could
    then have your phone warn you if the pressure's increase (high pressure, good conditions) or
    if the pressure starts to drop rapidly which could indicate bad weather (storms etc)
    *Altimeter could be used, however the GPS is far more precise, maybe something in the future could be done, this would
    be uptodate information, other phones could even send into a server, how much processing power and number crunching would
    take place if every mobile phone could send a FREE SMS to a server every few hours with your GPS location
    and altitude, world wide, i'm sure we'd be able to improve weather predicting with so much data coming in
    from the people who say yes to submitting data to a weather server, providing the altmeter is calibrated.
    GPS data, this phone will go all out to get a signal, then you have a series of options like sms my current
    location to another phone or a request for help including how high up (altimeter/gps) his/hers cords from
    the GPS
    with the OPTIONAL bluetooth heartrate monitor.
    *the phone could connect to a bluetooth heartrate monitor and then it displays the BPS of the indvididual
    and a small sensor to measure temprature from the person as well.
    *Maybe a Resuce Mode
    *Safety mode / tacker
    If the person who's in danger is able to get a signal even from 2g or the phone
    will automatically try if it's in rescue mode, in rescue mode it could get your body
    temprature, BPS, get your GPS location and direction heading from compass, even the barometer
    so it could report things like weather info to help, for example is it safe to use a helicopter?
    Why yes, the last 8 sms text messages the barometer has been increasing, but could easily be looked
    up anyway.
    If the person collapses, the SMS messages until someone arrives will be the only info, since we
    are able to monitor heart rate and location, the emergency services will arrive.
    Now if the heart beat drops below X BPS, it could automatically SMS the wife, brother, girlfriend
    or even multiple people, reporting back the person could be in a lot of danger, there would be nothing
    like this on the planet.
    If not in danger, there will be software to monitor vital conditions, tempraterue of you, it can
    also see where you've been by tracking your data and storing it automatically on memory, all data
    stored could be used as a 'black box' once recovered, in other uses..
    In other uses, it could detect that your heart beat has just shot up from 80 up to 120 and higher
    it was an instant change, this could then SMS the parent, or the phone could make a high pitched alarm
    sound either as to prevent an attacker and drawing attention to you or the high pitched alarm could be
    an alert to others to say something is wrong with you and seek help, it could even detect low heart beats
    and also do a similar warning of sms or both.
    the Gorrila Nokia Phone can survive up to say -30c because it's well insulated and well protected
    from the outside elements if there's a way of making a watertight seal with a slide, use that
    if not the keypad can be put below as traditional phones go for example the new nokia 2960 style.
    internally protected by epxoy too, So for a good rough phone that withstands abuse and yet be
    absolutely packed tight of features nobody could say no.....
    With the broadsprectrum of frequencies the phone has to offer, 2G, 3G 3.5G etc etc you stand more
    chance of getting a signal with the better antenna or included signal amplifier/booster to pickup
    that signal that might just save your life and then your phone becomes your only chance of hope....
    Without the gorrila docking station, you wont be able to charge the phone without one although
    you could use bluetooth/wifi in the short term for data transfer...
    *Accelerometer / Barometer/ GPS...
    Each one could be used for this but if all 3 were combined an accurate result would be optained
    and better to accurately determine to warn or not, for example if the heart beat drops or increases
    significantly an automatic SMS text message can be delivered to friends and family instantly before
    the person even realizes themselves...
    The person might be climbing the side of a hill and all of a sudden he trips and ends up sliding down
    the hill, the Gorilla Phone might be a few feet away now even outside the range of the bluetooth heart
    /temp monitor, ok, the phone is montioring the altitude via either altimeter or GPS or both, the acceleromter
    detected the sudden movement and jerk and strong G-Force at the very millisecond he falls.
    the alitmeter suddenly declines in only a couple of seconds, and now the heart rate monitor is out of range
    based on that data.....
    The person has just fell 3ft from X,Y GPS cords, and the phone landed X,Y GPS cords, it then gets as much
    data as possible such as altitude, temprature from phone (or heart rate monitor) and if the phone is not picked
    up within 10 seconds, the Nokia Gorilla Phone kicks into action sending out an SMS with your location on it can send up
    to 10 people or so of importance along with contact info directly to you when it happens.
    by now, the SMS message will provide emergency services precisely to the location of
    where the person has fallen or rough position, as the person may lay 3 or more meter away from where
    the phone had landed, this could very easily save a persons life, imagine if this happening at night
    in a wooded area, if the phone is simply dropped most people would pick it up within 10 seconds, even then
    a drop from roughly were you're holding the phone to where your feet are would indicate a dropped phone......
    The heart rate monitor could sit on you as every day normal life and if you have a heart attack, your
    phone will know (providing you're linked via bluetooth 10/100m range?) there's a serious medical problem
    and again could easily get the message out to save your life, even possibly having an option where the phone
    smses AND turns on the loud speaker so you can talk to emergency services, maybe a simple voice to speech or
    if you can't speech and can't move, there's not going to be that much of conversation but could be added.
    SMS Return: Location: GPS Cords X,Y; Altitude: 844m; HeartRate: 50; Pressure: ?milibars
    time spent getting to you to save your life,
    rather than time spent trying to find out where you are.
    Another option would be to text the phone and then get a text message back automatically
    providing access was granted on the phone.
    The Ultimate Survival Tool... Nokia's Gorrial Range of phones.
    They can save your life, they're tough take them anywhere you want, show it smashed down
    hard onto the table with an iphone (lookalike) that just smashes into pieces with the phone
    saying pick me up (since it will detect the smash as a drop of phone onto say concrete)
    if it detects a fall, if it does not get pickedup within 10 seconds, people are alterted
    to this fall or collapse,
    Difference in this case between fall and collapse is simple, what's your heart rate at if
    there's a problem there, it does not presume it was dropped and that you're in serious medical trouble
    take it swimming with you in the swimming pool, get your GPS cords and display them on a map
    geotag photos, get info about the weather, using the barometer high and low bands if a low pressure
    wave comes in and the barometer is dropping 998, 983 over a period of time will indicate what's likely
    to happen, if it increases better weather, if it decreases the weather coming in is bad, the phone
    will then direct you to start looking for shelter or find a nice lookout sunshine on the way...
    So all is well? the bluetooth monitor could even be attached to you sleeping so if your body
    temp and heart rate drop badly, it looks like you're freezing to death, the phone will then alarm
    a danger sound to try and wake the person sleeping up as well as contacting friends and family
    who will ring you, or give the message out with the GPS info out to the emergency services.
    The nokia gorilla's not just another phone, it's your buddy who looks out for you and will follow you
    into any conditions you go into, you work on the construction site, you wear a hard hat for protection
    when you see a nice new iphone (lookalike) all pretty has to wear a yellow hat, what a disgrace... while
    the Gorllia slilently laughs...
    The toughman phone with the ultimate survival tools, the Nokia Gorilla Phone, kicked, sat on, used
    to prop up your monitor, very tough and very strong handles whatever is thrown at it... but with GPS
    Barometer, WIFI, Compass you'll have everything you'll ever need handle what mother nature can throw
    at you..
    Maybe a couple of LED's to make the casing light up at night incase you drop it, which a sensor can detect
    if it's dark or not after it's been dropped (fed by data by the accelerometer, drop found, any light? no switch on lights)
    Oh yes and relax by playing with the internet browser over wifi, enjoy the better reception you get from better
    antenna or boosed up (amplified) radio signal.. enjoy the fact you can depend on this phone, it's your buddy
    not just a phone.
    So anyway guys what you think?

     The Nokia 3720 classic is a IP54 level water,
    Not even close to good enough, LCD screen will crack, water will go in through the jack/charger ports..
    The phone i describe has no external ports just 4-5 little pins which can't let water in or out of the device, the docking station will connect via these 4 - 5 pins for data transfer and recharging...., IPX8 standard, all the electronics are epxoyed with a glue to stop real bad shocks from drops and bangs, along with a silicon case and all the other preventative meausres means this little phone is going to outlive you.
    in combination with heart rate external bluetooth connection, really what more could you want... only the Sonim comes close in terms of perfection but if it managed to pack all of above, then it would be simply wow... I don't think there's enough people who work for nokia who actually go camping, backpacking, hiking, i'm pretty sure that if i told them one day
    on a holiday you might drop your phone into the swimming pool, ok fine it's a mistake but damn, there goes your $$$$ N7 or N900 or even a HTC or Iphone.... not this, you'd yell to the first person you see in the pool, hey mate can i have my phone back, don't worry about the water damage, i'll get it back on insurance after a small lie stopping the person from running off with it (in fear of the now useless mobile phoned killed by water, making an attempt to steal be useless) 
    The person gets their phone back and carries on about his day, it drops out of your pocket, how many times you ran over it because you happened to leave it behind the back tire. oh no i ran over my phone, the tough casing and the epoxy keeping it nice and safe, except for superficial damage cosmetic, the screen and phone should be working still able to make that call or send out GPS info....
    Sorry nothing comes close by any company (except Sonim) in terms of what they can do... maybe even a portable charger turn it to recharge like on LED dynamos. nah maybe not.

  • I have purchase at nokia E6 PHONE .

    HELLO SIR
    lot off intrest purchase at nokia e6 but few problem read at website divert my mind 
    notification light 
    back light
    bluetooth
    wifi connection problem
    slow volume at ring tone 
    pls help me purchase at new nokia e6 phone 
    solve this problem ?

    It's not going to happen. Even a cursory reading of the forums would have revealed this fact.
    Apple can NOT help you. AT&T WILL NOT help you.
    Leave your iPhone at home or in airplane mode while you're in India and buy yourself a cheap disposable phone to use while you're in India. I believe AT&T still has a program where they will put your account "on hold" while you are gone for a small fee.

  • Bluetooth: Cannot pair MacBook Pro 15" (early 2009) and Nokia cell phones

    When I try to pair my Nokia cell phone (E65) with my new MacBook Pro 15", the bluetooth assistant hangs after the input of the pairing code. I tried another Nokia cell phone in addition (N70), but had the same issue.
    When I initiate the pairing by the phone, then the pairing process seems to be successful, but I still cannot use the bluetooth connection with the phone afterwards (e.g. browsing files on it, 3G internet connection). The connection becomes established for a few seconds, but then the phone is being disconnected.
    I never had these problems using my old black MacBook. It still works when I try today. So it must be an issue of the new MBP.
    I successfully paired the New MBP with my old MB via Bluetooth - could transfer files for example without any problems. Therefore I think that the Bluetooth hardware (Broadcom) seems to work properly.
    The MacBook Pro 15" has the Broadcom chipset, while the old black MacBook has the Cambridge Silicon Radio chipset. Maybe there's an incompatibility between Broadcom and Nokia (?)
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I also have an early 2009 15" MBP and am experiencing bluetooth pairing problems. When I first started this computer, I successfully paired my Sonyericsson HBH-DS980 headphones. While using this connection, I accidently lost the connection by moving out of range. After this, the headphones would not re-connect. I deleted the headphones from the MBP bluetooth configuration and tried unsuccessfully to discover and re-pair. I also have another pair of SE HBH-DS220s. They initially paired and worked properly with my MBP and again after loss of connection, would not re-connect or re-pair. I do not have this problem with my first generation MBP so I know it must be something with the bluetooth system in my new MBP. I don't know anything about Mac operating systems, but I bet there is some log file somewhere that is logging a bluetooth problem and thereby locking out that type of device. I would really appreciate a MAC guru's help.
    Thanks

  • WLAN Nokia 500 Connictivity problem Netgear WGR614

    Hi all
    I have installed the Router "Netgear WGR614" and i connected it to 3 systems and one of them is a Wireless Laptop, when i am able to browsing through laptop then why i am unable to browse through my Nokia 500 Phone?
    I have also given the Password but it is keep on saying "Connection failed" why?
    thank you.

    Check all your apps which connect to the internet, one of these may be set to bypass the local settings and connect direct to your GPRS.
    Other option is to restore factory settings and then re-instal your apps making sure that you check the connection settings for each.

  • Nokia 3100 isn't ringing

    i have nokia 3100 and it stopped ringing i tried removing a battery and restoring factory settings, but it still does not ring does somebody have any ideas?
    P.S. i havent dropped it
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It happens. It could be a drop of water in the wrong place or sometimes they just blow.
    If it makes you feel better, remove the battery and leave it out for at lest 5 minutes and restart. This should fully reboot the phone. See if the speaker comes back.

  • Nokia 5800 screen problems when unlocking

    When I unlock my phone, I get horizontal and/or vertical lines - I can't use the phone during this time, because the display is so badly affected!
    After about 5-10 seconds, the home screen will show perfectly normal.  When I either lock the phone, or lock it manually, then unlock it a few minutes later the lines come back again!
    Is this a hardware or software fault? If it is a software fault, how can I resolve this annoying problem?
    5800 v20.0.012 -- 6500s v9.40 -- 6233 v5.43 -- 5140 v3.13

    I have exactly the same fault on my 5800 to the point where the phone is completely unusable.
    Used the "Contact Us" facility 5 days ago - still waiting for a reply/acknowledgment.
    I bought the phone in mid February so it was quite an early release model, V11 frimware, but the screen fault was there early on but only very occassionally. Had the phone updated to V20 but the problem was still there. However it got progressively worse until the phone became unusable. The screen can only be restored by powering off and on again but once the screen has gone into saver mode it cannot be restored via the unlock button, or any other means other than a power down.
    Sent the phone to the Nokia "Anovo" repair centre only to have it returned 10days later with exactly the same fault as I sent it in with. The return advice note stated that details of the repair would be found on the enclosed letter - there was no enclosed letter. The return form states that all phones sent in would be automatically updated to the latest firmware - mine wasn't, even though Nokia notified me 2 weeks previously to inform me that there was an update for my phone.
    Rang Nokia Care last week, (Thursday) to be told that someone would contact me by phone, (borrowed phone obviously, as I had stated my 5800 was unusable). Friday and I had not been contacted. Rang again Friday morning 10.30am only to be told someone would contact me. Left a contact phone number again. Friday afternoon - still no contact so rang again. This time I was informed that someone should have told me that I wouldn't be contacted until Monday as thet were all "Very Busy" - I wonder why. Today, Monday afternoon stil no one has been in contact so I suppose I am going to have to go through the whole routine again.
    I am very close to the point where I am going to give up and demand a refund for an item that is clearly "Not of Merchantable Quality" or "Fit for Purpose" which would be a shame as when it worked I was really pleased with it. I bought the phone outright so I have no contract redress so am completely in the hands of Nokia. I know that Nokia is a very large company and I am but a single customer but from all the forums I have lookes at since this saga started I am driven to believe that the 5800 is causing Nokia some serious problems.
    If I do finally get some acknowledge from Nokia I will inform this forum.
