Nokia 3250 Bass Boost Problems

I got myself a Nokia 3250 Xpress Music. Well the main reason i bought the phone was it being advertised as a symbian and a music phone at the same time, a combo which Nokia's competitors doesn't have.
Well after getting the phone i quickly load up the microSD with plethora of music files for my listening pleasure.At first everything was going on fine but when i turned on the option "Bass Boost" the music playback turned horrible, with sound breaking up and sounding rubbish. I just couldn't believe what was happening.The sound produced is much much worst than what im enjoying on my previous phone which is the Nokia N=Gage which came with "Extra Bass" option and sounded much better.
What i would like to know is whether my phone is default or it is a fact that the "Bass Boost" function is actually not up to the standard.
I'm using the latest firmware which is 4.14.
Thanks for replying me.

guys, why would you have to waste your money for buying a registration for LCG Jukebox when you can get a freeware music player which is far better than the LCG Jukebox. Recommend FIVN player which enhance the bass sound of songs played on the phone with your favourite headset.
Did you see when the last post was posted-5 April, 2007. Most probably your recommended player was not released at that time.

Nokia 3250 text messaging problems

Hi I have a Nokia 3250 and have been experiencing problems when send SMS / MMS messages. The first 3250 I had started going funny after a week or so whereby you when you have written your message and clicked for it to send the sending message box would come up but if a button was pressed it would freeze and even if no button was pressed it wold take anything up to a minute to actually send the message and then allow you to carry on using the phone. I was told this may be a software problem and another new handset was sent to me. At first this worked fine but now the phone is only a week old it has started developing the same fautl, although not as bad as the first it still freezes and wont allow anything to be done on the phone until the message gets sent. I have tried the sim card in a Motorola and it works fine (the sim is only 2-months old). Has anyone else experienced this on the 3250????

Most of the users here say that 3.18 is the best when it come to sound quality. You might wanna wait before you upgrade. I have 4.14 and it doesn't support arabic either. I suggest you wait

Hi fishergimp
It is a phone UI issue that you are currently having as answered in your other post but repeated here:
Select Menu> Connect. > Data cbl.. Select what the USB data cable connection is used for: Media player, PC Suite, or Data transfer. To have the device ask the purpose of the connection each time the cable is connected, select Ask on connection.
For Data transfer and Media player connections the phone is in the offline mode, and no incoming or outgoing calls are possible.
After transferring data, ensure that it is safe to unplug the USB data cable from the PC.

Nokia BH-905i bass booster with iphone/ipad2.

How can i make it work?
pressing the multifunction button once paired, wont make it activate bass booster and stereo widening. i just hear a beeeeep once clicked, and nothing happens. pressing again will also make it beeeep instead of beep beep like its supposed to according to the manual.
I have done research and it seems the iphone 4 and ipad 2 both make use of the SBC codec...
no other problems though, quality is fine but i would really like the extra bass.

I understand. However, the eHow article implied it affected the left-right balance and when I did it, it seemed to. I could hardly hear my left earbud at all. Suddenly, I could. I can't explain it, but you might try it anyway. As you say, even if it did work for earbud volume, it might not affect bluetooth.

well the only thing that you can do is to take it to a nokia care point, there is no other way easy process to start it again, there are a few tools available but they are quite complicated to use and are beyond the scope of discussion in this forum..i suggest to take it to nokia care and about the cost, you have no other choice but to cough up the money..sorry,pal..

MacBook core duo Sept. 2006 - the audio is a mystery. Any analogue out has bass boost with bass distortion. With digital out, by USB or Airport Express Airtunes, the frequency response is normal. Somewhere, Apple put in an analogue bass boost.. why?!

Since new, my Macbook core duo has sent all audio to all analogue outputs with frequency distortion. Some physical hardware or firmware in the analogue section adds a bass boost to the frequency response of the audio.... And, this boost adds bass frequency distortion to most, if not all, of the audio analogue output.
This happens for all audio sources, players, iTunes, videos, streaming audio/video, movies... any sound source available to the Macbook. No-one with whom I have talked about this problem, has ever heard of it. Not elegant ideas for reducing it are to use equalisers on players and iTunes. iTunes even has a preprogrammed "bass reduce" on its equaliser, as if it knows already that this inherent bass boost "feature" has been built into the Macbook, and cannot be defeated by the user.
The digital audio is of sufficiently high quality to play well on a very good to excellent sound-system; so, it's a shame someone has mucked around with the frequency response of the analogue conversion, by designing the frequency distortion right into the computer. This motherboard, (which includes the sound-section), has been replaced, along with the speakers, and everything sounds exactly the same as it was before.
To receive a flat frequency response and no frequency distortion, I listen on one receiver using Airtunes, (it doesn't matter whether or not the analogue or digital output jack is wired analogue or connected via optical cable.... the freq. response is flat); and I listen on a high-end stereo system using an USB output port to an A/D converter, passing the analogue result using long patch-cords connected to the "line-in" jacks of the stereo. The bummer is that most of my audio sources are not derived from iTunes... hence, I cannot use Airtunes with Airport express for them. I've tried using "Airfoil" without luck. The sound becomes distorted with sibilance and other frequency anomalies.
Question: has anyone else discovered this sound imperfection in any Mac product? And, does anyone know if Apple is aware of it? Finally, has anyone found an Apple fix for the problem; or, at least, come up with better solutions than I have?
Thanks heaps for any impute and answers you may supply!! junadowns

This might not help you a lot, but if you want a stable system, try using packages from the repo wherever possible, look at the news before you update your system and don't mess things up (like bad configuration etc.).
When it comes to performance, you won't gain much by compiling linux by yourself! Just use the linux package from [core] or if you want a bit more performance, install the ck-kernel from
[repo-ck]
Server = http://repo-ck.com/$arch
(this has to go to the bottom of /etc/pacman.conf)
(use that one which is best for your cpu (in your case this might be the package linux-ck-corex).
Hmmm, Linux-ck-corex doesn't even load.. I am now trying to install the generic one. Hope it works.
Edit: I will first try linux-lqx...

Nokia 3250: Application/Themes installation proble...

Hi...i recently purchase a Nokia 3250 but I'm facing a problem:any themes/application installed in memory card doesn't work and theme resets after switch-on the handset but if that application is installed in phone memory, it works after switch-on the handset.
I install all the software properly provided by nokia like snake game,themes....by using PC Suite.
I face the problems when i follow the following steps:
Problem 1:
1-I install any software (e.g:snake game) through Application manager (Pc Suit) in memory card.
2-I launch that software (snake game) just after installation it works properly.
3-Now i switch-off the hand set and than switch-on it.
4-I try to launch that software (snake game) again but it doesn't response.
Problem 2:
1:There is a image in my Memory card.
2: I set that image as a wallpaper.
3-Now i switch-off the hand set and than switch-on it.
4-Wallpaper reset to default one.
Problem 3:
1-I install a theme through Application manager (Pc Suit) in memory card.
2: I apply that theme in my hand set.
3-Now i switch-off the hand set and than switch-on it.
4- Now theme reset to default one.
i want to know is it my handset problem or OS problem....?
plss help....

The 6102 is an S40 (Series 40) 2nd edition phone, and rather old, already as S40 is already at 5th edition (plus various intermediate "feature packs").
I think the 6102 supports themes, then they come in .nth files (not .sis or .sisx, which are for S60/Series 60 phone models) and only when they're created with Nokia Series 40 Theme Studio v1.*. Newer themes created with v2.* of the tool, requires newer phones.
The tools are here:

Nokia 3250 damaged - PC suite connection

Hi,
My Nokia 3250 fell down and got totally ruined. the display, the key-nothing working. I tried to retrieve the contacts. But the PC suite isn't connecting to the phone. The phone can be turned on and off (I can hear the sound). I think the problem is the two fold - it is offline and the connectivity driver is asking the mode of conection -PC suite or two other options (i dont remember), either of which I cant correct with these faulty keys and display. Any solutions?
I just want to retrieve the contacts
Thanks
Rathish

Are the contacts on the SIM card? Did you sync with Outlook?

Headphones plugged direct to Soundcard: bass boost works perfekt
Headphones plugged into external box: no bass boost, there is no difference if it'ss activated or not, or how much bas boost is set... it stays off.
I already tryed it with other headphones, but as i thought it was not the reason (logical)

Maybe its even a BOT :-D

I have the same problem too
But i have an X-fi Fatalty Platinum with I/O front panel.
When my headphones plugged direct to Soundcard, the bass boost works perfekt. But when into the front panel, there is no bass boost. "there is no difference if it's activated or not, or how much bas boost is set... it stays off."
My PC:
MSI K8N SLI Platinum
AMD Athlon x2 3800+
4*Gb Corsair DDR400
MSI Radeon 3850
My headphone: Sennheiser HD280Pro
It is very frustrating, i can enjoy the bass only when my headphone directly connected to my card..
I payed for the **bleep**in I/O panel, it's should work correctly. I think i have right... :S
Can you help me?

Error message in me nokia 3250 " UNABLE TO INSTALL...

aoa whenever i install any theme or software to my nokia 3250, it starts installing but at the end it shows message unable to install. what is its reason. how can i solve this problem. plz tell me

Sometimes this message also comes up if some older or similar versions of the software/theme were previously installed and removed. I suspect there are remnants of the previous files which prevent an otherwise normal installation to proceed.
I encountered the same with my wife's 3250 and the only way to get things smooth again is to re-format/hard-reset the phone and format memory card. Luckily, I do this everytime I upgrade the firmware of the 3250. =)
