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...

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 music files.

I have an Apple computer with ITunes . Is it possible to download the music files directly onto a micro SD card , then insert the the card in the phone a listen to the music?. Nokia don't have Apple software , only PC software. Any way of doing this with music files on a Mac? Thanks

the number of times i've read "nokia doesn't have mac software" is seriously starting to get to me.

mac software.
from nokia.
your phone is support (nokia 3120 classic).
download the program called Nokia Multimedia Transfer.
and NOKIA!! CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE IT MORE EVIDENT TO PEOPLE WHO WON'T SEARCH THE FORUMS THAT YOU DO INDEED HAVE MAC SOFTWARE??
*sigh*
i'm having a bad day, can you tell?
i'm frustrated with the redundance of this question, not in you personally for having asked it.

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.

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 (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 - Going Online

I own a Nokia 3120 Classic and have now figured out how to use it as a modem to connect my computer to the internet, for the purpose of downloading emails. This is very useful when I am on the move and don't have easy internet connection.
But I want to know if I can reverse the process when I am at home. What I would like to do is to connect the phone to the internet by connecting to the computer and using the computer's internet connection.
The computer (XP Service Pack 3), connects to a wi-fi router and I connect the phone to the computer with USB data cable.
I am aware that it is not possible to connect to the wi-fi router directly with this phone model.
Looking forward to some advice.

Hi! i am not here to give you a solution. However, i want to know the way to use my 3120 classic as modem to Use Internet in my PC through my Phone. You might be aware that there is some problem saying that MODEM NOT FOUND. I have treid to find out the way but to no avail.
If you could mail me at [email protected] , the way to use 3120 Classic as modem, i'll be grateful to you.
Thanking,

Nokia does not have any support for Mac.
Nokia has very good support for Mac users, in general:

Nokia 3120 classic display settings

Hi!
The "Nokia 3120 classic User Guide" (9207764, Issue 3) in chapter 6. Settings -> Display says:
Sleep mode -- to save battery power, the display turns black when no function of the phone is used for a certain time
If I understand correctly the purpose of that option, when it is set to on it should turn off the back light of the display when the phone is not used for some time (a few seconds). By default that option is enabled.
I tried to disable that option (set it to off) but nothing changed -- the display light turns off very quickly, which is very annoying for example when reading/writing messages. To prevent the display light to turn off you need to press a key every few seconds.
I also tried to disable the "power saver" option in the display settings but I didn't notice any difference either.
IMHO, there is a bug in the phone firmware regarding those options. Moreover I thing that user should be able to change the time interval after which the display light is turned off in the sleep mode.
Another issue with that phone behavior: Using an analog or digital clock as a screen saver (Settings -> Display -> Screen saver) is quite convenient because the default digital clock in top right corner of the display uses very small font. When the keyboard is locked, the screen saver activates after a few seconds of inactivity (that time interval should be adjustable too), but the display light turns off also, which is OK when the keyboard is locked. Now the question is how to turn on the display light (to see the clock in the screen saver) without turning off the screen saver at the same time? Currently you have to do the following:
(1) press one of the navigation keys in order to turn on the display light
(2) wait a few seconds in order to activate the screen saver
The firmware version used is:
V 07.16
27-05-08
RM-364
Any comments?
-- rpr.

Can someone from Nokia please response to this thread? The lack of control over the display light duration is a huge disadvantage of the 3120. It sounds like a small issue, but it is really not. I would recommend anyone who is interested in the 3120 NOT to get it, for this exact reason.

Nokia 3120 classic firmware update problem

Hello!
I tried updating my Nokia 3120 Classic with Nokia Software Updater, and I I've got some problems. When I connect my phone to the computer Software Updater detects it, and everything seems to be OK, but when i want to install the update (or as in this case re-instal it, beacause I've got the newest firmware version) the program returns errors.
The 'download' step is OK, Software Updater downloads the updates, and when it comes to installing after few seconds I get "update failed, to have the best connection connect your phone to the PC without USB hub..." (i've got polish version of software updater, so that's how I translate it into english).
The thing is, that I've got the best connection! The device is connected to computer via CA-101D cable! I don't know what is wrong, I used to update my Nokia N95, Nokia N82 and second N95, and everythink worked great, but then the new version of Nokia Software Updater appeared, and I can't update this old 3120 : /
I need to update it, help me!
(sorry for my english, I'm from Poland )

Hi scarlet_213, download Nokia Ovi Suite and install it to your computer. Then follow the steps and upgrade your phone. If there is no update available for your phone, this could be due to a number of factors which are outlined in the following articles written by one of our senior users Grischnon: http://techyoddsandends.blogspot.com/ and http://linux.sgms-centre.com/nokiafaq/branded-phones/
The latest firmware version for unbranded handsets for the 3120 Classic is 10.00. Let us know how it goes.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Today I also ran into this problem. I wanted to upgrade from v7.16 to v10.00 because my mobile has some annoying freezes but till now I didn't have a USB cable.
In the middle of the update process my mobile just died and didn't responded only the keyboard started to shine when I tried to switch it on. But I just kept trying to re-run the updater which detected the interrupted update process and offered to continue. It advised me to remove the battery, pull out the USB cable and the charger than reconnect them again and switch on the mobile. I did it as I advised to about 3 times but didn't succeeded, but kept trying and after a while even the mobile keyboard didn't shine at all. Although it seemed completely dead I left it alone with the updater program running and a few minutes later the screen started with a simlpe white background and later on a short text in red characters appeared: "Test mode". Another minutes later it asked for PIN code and worked fine.
So keep trying patiently and maybe you can revive your phone just as I did.

3120 classic won't play received video messages

Hi,
Please help!
I can capture video, play video that I have captured, and succesfully send video to others that I have captured on my nokia 3120 classic (all 3gp file format), but when I receive a video message captured and sent to me (also 3gp, or mov file format, including from other nokia phones) and open it, it plays/automatically opens as .gif file format - plays as an animated gif instead of video.
I thought it was senders phone problem but realised it was my phone when person next to me received and played same file at same time on their nokia (cheaper model!) no problem.
Have tried downloading latest phone software, checked MMS settings with provider, tried nokia online support, etc... no change.
Does anyone know if this phone supports receiving any movie file formats????

I have the same problem.
If I send a 3gp. file to me, I can read it.
But if someone sends a 3gp. file to me, I can't. (but the file can be read if I take it with bluetooth).

My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet? What could be the problem? How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet? What could be the problem? How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
See deadtimecapsule.org
The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
But it is well and truly time to replace.
