Nokia 3120-Review-Good or Bad / issues-plz solve

Hi,
 I recently bought a nokia 3120 classic.My first impression was sleek,handy,stylish phone.But i realised the facts
Lot of troubles one need to take
1)Low battery performance-daily you need to charge even though it was rarely used
2)Speaker-Literally worst speaker for a modern phone
3)Interface:even though s40,its slow.sometimes hangs out.Major issue:after restart or n/w change it will take some time to come up
4)Camera-its good,but sometimes it will take time to come for camer to open after pressing camera key,you need to wait and  causes you to miss catchy moment
5)Echo-again major trouble it seems,a bad echo and poor voice clarity
6)Backlight-no way you can adjust backlight duration,it will go off within 14sec,even before you typing a message(if you r not good in same)
7)no idea how the phone will behave at important times
====>>my s/w version is latest v 9.41, it will make  no difference.
Y Nokia made this????
any one have a comment / resolution / opinion , most welcome
i just want to see it working fine.
Thanks in advance

My comment is it's a dud. The 3120 is my first nokia. I was led to believe they were reliable and easy to use phones. I was attracted to it by its sleek retro look. But its fuctionality is hopeless. Exactly what you said: Y DID NOKIA MAKE THIS???

  • Nokia 8800 Sirocco - good or bad buy?

    I'm thinking of entering into my first contract tomorrow and wanted an Nokia 8800 Sirocco
    My friend works for a phone shop and can get me one on Orange.
    Would anyone avoid it? I heard the battery life was terrible on the 8800, is it the same issue with the sirocco? Also, I have a N70 at the moment but don't use email, from reading the forum it appears people are having a lot of trouble with email? Is it something that goes wrong even if you don't use email?
    Any advice would be very welcome
    Cheers

    Ive read and heard from friends that the battery has been improved from the 8800 series although it is supplied with two batteries also.
    I have the original 8800 and im very satisfied with it.
    I dont use the camera and music,video and bluetooth functions which all add up to drain the battery.
    I get 2-3 days from each battery.
    The scricco has a better camera {which i dont use} and has the powersaver option cured. ie : it scrolls down the screen unlike the 8800 which does not which in time caused the lcd screen burn. It has also a better keypad, although im not sure about the thumb indentation on the slider..lol
    My advice is go for it and you have been offered a decent contract too !!
    I would try for a 12 month contract tho.
    Some users have experienced difficulty when attempting to use the e mail function as it disappeared from the menu system when accessed. If you use e mail from your service provider then ask to try a demo fone to see what happens.
    I dont use it myself as my provider gets enough money from me as it is..lol
    Good luck with your choice and yes im well jealous....

    Be happy !!

  • 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.

  • Language issue on Nokia 3120

    I am going to buy a Nokia 3120.
    I live in Sweden.
    I already have a Nokia 2760.
    It works fine. 
    I can't change the language to French.
    They will do it by removing Swedish and I have to pay about 400.00 crowns.
    I don't want to remove Swedish.
    I wonder whether Nokia 3120 has many languages like Sony Ericsson phones.
    Sony Ericsson phones have German, French, Russian, Spanish, etc.
    Please  tell me  whether it is possible to have French language on Nokia 3120.

    Page cannot be displayed is one of the common problems, like fever. Please see application.log, apache error log to see any more specific reason for page cannot be displayed error. Look for any possible 'infection' which may have caused this 'fever', if you see what I am saying.

  • Goods and Bads with the 6110 Navigator

    Hi
    New user of this forum and a proud owner of a Nokia 6110 Navigator. I had the 6280 but after 2 SW upgrades and still problem with it, I gave up.
    First impression of the 6110 is good, but I found a couple of small things that ”irritates” me.
    1 – The timer function when you write “0200” and press options instead of green (call) button.
    2 – The original headset is too cheap to be an expensive phone like this, should be more like Koss “plug-in-your-ear” kind of headphones, instead of the small “put-close-to-your-ear” thing that is included.
    Also, the straight up cable from the top of the phone is no good. Makes the phone lie bad in the pocket. I also guessing that this cable is going to snap after a while. Why not a 90 degree “adapter” or something?
    3 – When you sending an SMS, on my 6280 you could choose “last used number” or something like that, now you have to choose name, and then number, and then OK to go back to the SMS.
    Well.. that’s it so far. Anyone else have goods and bads about this phone ?
    mvh / regards
    Timmy

    hi im havin same issues!!
    i went from 6280 to 6110 after i smashed it
    1.first off i didnt kno of the timer option...good bcoz it was annoyin not havin a stopwatch
    2. that "recent use list"...lack of it...is annoying. i just made groups of ppl i msg most
    3. menu organisation is confusing
    4. in call history, it only shows most recent time for that entry, ven if they rang 5 times that day, also they dont show call long eg duration of 3mins 40secs
    5. on my 6280, i had a shortcut menu as mi left select button, cant do this now
    6. power button is end call button, lotsa accidental turn offs
    7. cant turn off start up tone
    oh well i still like it

  • 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

    grumblegrumblegrumble
    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. 
    goodluck,

    N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
    (N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

  • Placing a PDF file in an InDesign Doc and PDF again for a vendor- Good or Bad?

    Current debate in the graphics department is
    Is it good or bad to place a PDF (general Press Quality) into an InDesign document and then creating a new PDF file with print vendor settings from that document?
    My thought is that you in some cases are double compressing, lower dpi images getting compressed, RGB color mode images okay on layout but now are converted to CMYK and shift in the PDF.
    Are there other issues and if so what are they.
    Also is there an easy way to check ppi, color mode and compression of an acrobat PDF? I mean other than doing a preflight and searching into each image folder twenty levels deep. FlightCheck and Enfocus are not options,
    too many vendors and not enough time.
    Thank you all in advance for your words of wisdom.

    Dov, I just got off the phone with a trusted professional in the Prepress field at a quite reputable print house, and he said "Dov is the guru of PDFs, ask him this...Will the InDesign CS3 preflight see the characteristics of a PDF (color mode, dpi(ppi), compression) if the original placed PDF is created as a pdf .X4 (1.7)? Ask him also if you were to use one form of compression (say lossless) in the original PDF, and then another form(say lossy) in the vendor PDF would it hold both or convert the first PDF compression to the second form?"
    Any other responses are also welcomed.

  • Is this good or bad in terms of battery life?

    So I have a question, my usage is 1 hour, 11 minutes; standby is 13 hours, 29 minutes. This is since the last full charge on my iphone4s and now the battery is at 68%. Is this good or bad, and the thing is when I used certain apps like words with friends even for 2-3mins I actually noticed the battery life going down 2%, and I know that because I have the option for showing the battery percentage switched to on. It's frustating that I'm doing the simplest task like going through settings and the battery is draining so quickly. Does anyone have and suggestions about increasing the battery life?

    The short battery life is an issue of iOS5 that should be fixed with the next updates. ( also hope that Apple would fix it fast)

  • Nokia 3120 classic

    I am receiving calls /texts but the screen is not lighting up. I can read texts though they are dull

    @phodric sounds like a hardware issue to me. The Microsoft Mobile Community is quite good at software issues but not so good at hardware issues, because to much could be broken and your phone needs individual examination. Anyway, did you go for a Micro-USB cable, a Windows computer, and the Software Recovery Tool already? Although the name indicates different, that tool even works with yours and rules out all software issues.
    Have you looked-up the second-hand market prize of your phone in your country? Further repairment might be a total loss. If you like to stick to a Nokia Series 40 based phone like yours, and you need 3G (UMTS), did you consider to go for a Nokia 301? That model is on sale in many countries right now and is one of the very last Nokia Series 40 based phones.

  • Panasonic AG-DVX100b good or bad?

    Hey guys ok so i have tons of problems with my canon gl2... anyone out there DONT GET IT!! if your going with fcp for all i know 1. dropped frame rates alllll the time look at other peoples comments its true! 2. myn has a rewind issue.... its really annoying. Anyway thats not what im here for i am thinking of sellign my canon gl2 and getting a Panasonic AG-DVX100b since everyone says it works great with fcp 6 can you give a good or bad? tell me whats good about it whats bad... any info i should know... and if it works good with Final Cut Pro 6... i hope you help me out if you need this im on a macbook pro with final cut pro 6.0 and its a panasonic ag-dvx100b i hop that covers it!

    Of course you find only ISSUES when you search the forums for the GL2...who posts that they are having success? No one walks into a doctor's office and says, "My arms feel really good, and my lungs are clear." No, they go to the doctor's office saying "I am having trouble breathing, and I broke my arm."
    If you search the forums, you see plenty of posts with people having issues with DVX cameras too. Especially the forum dedicated to that camera. True, Canon cameras are a bit more finicky, but they work fine. Some have issues, others do not.

  • IPod touch - IS IT GOOD OR BAD?????

    i have just bought an ipod touch and my personal view is excellent!
    98% works perfectly - just the safari web brouser can be slow (eventhough im on highspeed wireless broadband)
    i love the coverflow and scrolling is amazing with a flick of a finger
    buying on the move is a big bonus - i've just been to scotland and was in a wifi area and bought a couple of songs! it only takes seconds aswell!
    pictures are clear and easy to see and zooming in by 'pinching' is clever and works well.
    obviously videos are good and so is music!!!!
    thats what i think about the Ipod touch what about you - please leave your comments on it - good or bad..............

    What I have found disappointing so far is web access on the ipod touch: I have not been able to log on to any commercial network (= requiring some sort of authentication) for example in hotels. It seems that Safari on the ipod touch does not support certain functions required. The connections worked flawlessly from Safari on my Macbook so it seem to be a ipod touch issue (I assume the same goes for the iphone).

  • Nokia 3120 Classic and iSync

    Dear all,
    I have a Nokia 3120 Classic and a fresh new MacBook Pro 2010.
    I need to syncronize the contacts between the mobile phone and OsX. I tried with iSync, but the program said the mobile phone is not compatible. How can I solve this problem? Nokia does not have any support for Mac.
    Thank you, kind regards.
