Nokia 5300 USB Help!!

My USB has always worked fine until recently. I connected the USB cable, and selected Data Storage, but it says that my memory card is in use by another application. I don't know why it says that, because when it had said that before, it was because my music player was on. But everything is turned off, my player, my bluetooth.. I don't know why it keeps saying that! Does anyone know why it would be saying this?

This happens a lot to me when I listen to music stored on the memory card with the music player of the phone and then just yank the headphone cable without stopping the music player first.
This means the music player is waiting for you to plug in the headset again and it will continue playing the file it has open.
To switch off the music player, you can either hold down the red phone button for a few seconds (it will then say Music Player stopped) or you can go to the music player, select play and then stop.
When the Music player is stopped you will be able to use the phone in data storage mode again as it will no longer have the memory card open.
If all else fails just switch off the phone and on again and it should work for you.
Knowledge should be your Advisor when you need help.

Nokia 5300 USB PC-Suite connection problem

I have tried to get my Nokia 5300 to connect to PC-Suite through the supplied USB cable. I can get a connection using Bluetooth, but with USB I can only connect the 5300 in disk mode.
I can see that many others on these pages have reported the same symptoms I experience:
- Error message during installation of PC-Suite regarding "setupext.exe" referencing memory at location "0x00000000".
- Windows "New hardware" wizard interfering when the 5300 is connected, popping up and insisting on installing new drivers, then failing and after you have closed the wizard it repeats this procedure.
So, apparently the cable driver installed is not recognized by Windows as the correct driver for this connection. I have tried in vain to clean out the installation in order to start over:
- Removed cable connectivity driver using the "Remove software" control panel.
- Same action for PC-Suite.
- Used the PC-Cleaner program to remove all traces of the installation (this failed)
- Manually (using regedit.exe) removed the last traces of Nokia entries in the registry.
And then, after re-installing the latest version of PC-Suite with my firewall disabled, I still have the same problem.
At this point I don't really know how to proceed and any suggestions that could help me overcome this problem would be highly appreciated.

Just to balance this a bit, I just connected 5300 to my PC with cable, did you use any wizard what so ever, only selected the mode in phone screen, waited for 10 secs and I was connected to PC Suite, so yes, you guys have a problem but it is not a designed feature that the connection build up is that complicated. Unfortunately I do not know what is the difference between my PC setup and yours so that I could suggest a rootcause for the problem

Nokia 5300: please help!

i have a problem with my nokia 5300 xpress music phone! I can listen to the radio with my headphones, but when i play my music, it only plays via the loudspeakers and not through the headphones!! i've emailed nokia and they've repeatedly advised me to check that i'm using nokia original accessories and i am using the ones that came in the box! so i duno what the problem is!! is there some setting that i have to change to play the music through the headphones instead of the loudspeakers?? I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out! Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you haven't emptied your trash while the phone is connected, just re-connect your phone to the Mac and then empty your trash. While you deleted files from your phone's memory card, the Mac actually doesn't delete it until you run the "Secure Empty Trash" command.
hope this helps

Help needed for moving sms.Nokia 5300 Xpress Music

I'm using Nokia 5300 XpressMusic, is it possible or any ways for me to move or copy my inbox messages stored in the phone to my 2G Micro Sd Card?~ thanks.

Not a feature of S40 devices to designate memory card as SMS storage AFAIK, so you might have to backup to Nokia Suite if too many on phone.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Help to format memory card (Nokia 5300)

Hi everyone.
I have a problem with my Nokia 5300. The problem occurred about two weeks ago and then escalates up to today, where it now has gone all bad.
The problem is my memory card. I haven’t changed it, so it is the original card that came with the phone.
It started with, that my phone couldn’t find my memory card. Then I had to shut down the phone and start it up again. It worked.
But now, I can’t get my phone to see the card. I’ve tried to take the card out of the phone and then inserted it again.
When I do that, the phone can see the card, but when I try to enter it, it says that the card isn’t formatted and therefore can’t be accessed.
According to the Nokia 5300 manual, I’ve to enter the memory card to format it – so it’s quite a paradox. I would like to back my card up, but that doesn’t seem to be a possibility.
Is there a way to format the memory card or is there someone with a explanation and/or a solutions to this problem? It’s really frustrating.
I just updated my phone, so the newest version of the software is installed. I’ve backup my contacts, messages and calendar – and some of the pictures from my memory card. I could access it in the beginning of the backup / update, but suddenly it disappeared.
Thanks

The best thing to do is to get a replacement.Message Edited by nj15 on 16-Aug-200703:48 PM

Reboot of Nokia 5300 when syncrhonzing ? :(

I just bought a Nokia 5300 and I am not able to sync with my PC through the PC suite, version 6.82. I also tried the older version that comes with the CD, version 6.81, but it gives me exactly the same problem.
The problem below occurs both with the usb cable and the bluetooth connection.
I have windows xp with all the latest patches and service packs installed. I have 519 phone numbers that I syncrhonize and after phone number 229, the nokia 5300 is simple rebooted, I get a white screens, and it restarts ... and ofcourse then PC suite reporst an error, saying that the connection is lost.
I spend many days trying to solve this: make sure it's not in standby mode, that it has enough memory, touching the keyboard while synchronizing, so it not get in standby.... turn off the keyguard, bluetooth, cable, etc... everytime exactly the same error.
BTW: If I synchronise the second time, such that I already have 229 contacts in my phone, I says that it is sending data and then receiving data, and then when receiving contact nr 20, it restarts again .... reallly frustrating... a brand new phone that I didn't even used yet!!
I also tried it with and without sim card and with only the phone/sim memory selected...
If I look in the last outlook contact it synced, it doesn't contain any strange things.
I searched in the faq and the discussion forums, but nothing could help me. Can you please give me some help how to solve this, as the phone is useless to me at the moment and I was planning to buy more of them for the people that work for me.
BTW: The syncrhonization works well with my very "old Nokia phone" and I am using the PC suite already for years now..

Hmmmm... no Reply... that doesn't surprise me at all...
I solved the synchronising problem I had, and it is a BUG in the phone. So I hope some Nokia people will do something with this and send me a software update when they come up with a new software version for the phone. Why the problem, as early described occured?... I did some intensive testing and found out that the nokia 5300 hangs up (restarts) when the outlook contact contains a picture of the person. That is: just like you can add a picture of the person in your phone, that's also possible with the outlook contacts. However, the Nokia 5300 hangs him self up when it encounters a contact that has such a picture. Did you guys test this even? a the phone itself also offers this functionality (that is: add a picture to your phone contact). Regards, Ed Bras

Nokia 5300 - Pc Suite Cd and Memory Problem *pleas...

Hey, Well i bought the nokia 5300 (love it minus my 1 problem)
So I installed the disk that came with the box (pc suite) and it worked. Now I enter the program and transfer a song from my computer to my phone and it says I dont have enough memory in my phone.
Problem is- The only thing I have on my phone is 4 ringtones I downloaded off of the phone. and about 6 contacts. Everything else that came with the phone is still on it minus a few graphics..me thinking it will free memory. But NOTHING. Still won't work! So do i need to buy a memory card or something (if theres such thing for this phone) so that i can get music on it, or do I have to do something else, like compress the file and if so how do I do that?
...thought it would be simple to do this but im really having problems with this. Help is much appreciated

Similar problems, but on a N73.
Every time I sync my phone it's a mission to get it working either via Bluetooth or USB. USB is a little more reliable.
So usually I get it working, but yesterday nothing could get it working. I managed to get a Bluetooth connection which stayed alive long enough to delete all my calendar entries ready to write a replacement but then failed. Now I have no appointments in my phone.
On the usb cable the symptoms I get are that the phone recognises when I plug the USB cable in and briefly displays that it is enabling PC Suite mode, but that's it. No other indication (I think usually there's a little icon on the right that indicates PC Suite operation,
PC Suite on the PC doesn't recognise that there is any phone connection.
I went into the PC Suite profile in my phone and I was intereste to see that only two options a given for connection "Bluetooth" and "Internet". Is this normal? Remember I have been using USB with PC Suite fine for some time and with no other change it now doesn't work.
I eventually uninstalled and reinstalled all Nokia stuff and the Bluetooth drivers and software.
But alas no change. Phone is still not recognised.

SECURITY CODE CHANGED IN NOKIA 5300 XPRESSMUSIC

Hey everybody, this is my damn NOKIA 5300 XpressMusic and dont know who changed the security code.

None of the following gets me off the problem:
I need a security code
to switch off
to switch ON/to enter desktop
to connect to computer via PC
to use bluetooth
in fact without security I can't get anything.
moreover the IMIE number is damn confusing it goes under the battery.
Let me see if this is the real support from whole of the NOKIA company!
Moderator Note: IMIE number removed

Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should never post your IMEI number on the internet as criminals can use it for dodgy purposes.
The default security code is 12345, if this has been changed and you have forgotten the code then you will need to visit a nokia care point/service centre.
They will be able to reset the code but you will lose all stored data. They will need to see proof of purchase before performing this procedure to ensure that you are it's rightful owner.
It is not possible to reset it yourself.

Install games in nokia 5300

hi. i´ve bought a nokia 5300 but i do not know how to install games on ti. i´ve got nokia pc suite 6.8. when i download games there are to files, on with .jad extension and another with .jar extension. help me please!

There's two way:
1-If you've already installed Nokia PC suite, just double-click .jar files then click OK. A Messenger box "Install completed" will go out, telling you that the selected game is installed.
2-(only for Nokia s40 3rd Edition): Connect your phone to PC, select Data Storage Mode. Open your Memory card (Display as Removeable disk in My Computer), then copy .jar game & paste it here (or wherever you want on your card). Using this will save your phone memory (so limited on s40 3rd Edtion phone), but you've to play the game from your Memory card

Nokia 5300 chinese language setting missing

My phone is Nokia 5300 Express Music. The first time i'm using Nokia PC Suite, going to update some software. The software is firewall update. After updated, i realized my phone language setting is changed. Chinese and Malay language is gone and others language like romana, deutsch and something else was appear. I think maybe is the software updated so the language setting also changed. So i might need help to change the language setting back to chinese cause i need chinese language to use for my phone book in chinese words.
Anyone is know about any software to help me fix my problem???
Hope to hear some good advice and help from nokia supporter.
Thanks & Regard!

Your phone was intended for sale in a part of the world other than where you are. The importer/retailer installed the appropriate language packs for you but didn't tell you that this was the case. If you have a gripe against anyone, it's against the importer/retailer.
We can't direct you to the Nokia care points for your country because we don't know what your country is. What you can do is go to http://www.nokia.com and follow directions to support for your country from there.

Nokia 5300 - Hard reset?

Hi all,
I've got a problem with my Nokia 5300 XpressMusic (S40 phone). While searching for a good synchronisation tool (the Nokia Sync isn't really my piece of cake), one of those third-party tools I tried has been able to mess up my phone. The OS and all is still working, only the screen gets frozen during start-up (so I can still do everything, but without visual).
I have had this problem already some weeks ago, but I didn't suspected that tool then. That time, I've sent my phone to Nokia, and they managed to repair it (re-flashing or really resetting it, I guess).
But this time I'm trying to reset my mobile my self (as it takes some weeks sending it to Nokia and repairing it), but I can't seem to find the correct code... I have already tried *#7870#, which does work, but doesn't reset enough to get my phone working again. I tried starting up while holding "green phone" + "*" + "3", which seems to reset something too, but again not enough.
So, if anybody got some other resetting codes, or any other method to reset my mobile (e.g. by remote USB application, I tried OS upgrade, but it hangs at 25%), I'd greatly appreciate that
Thanks in advance,
maleadt

Nokia 5300 ringtone problem

Hi, i recently bought a Nokia 5300, and for some reason, i am not able to play certain ringtones. Most don't work and the error message that it gives me is "File size too large" which i don't really understand.. why there would be a limit on the size of the mp3 being played as the ringtone.. and also, some mp3s, will say "Not allowed by activation key"... any ideas?

It looks more like a corrupt memory card.
Connect the handset to your computer in mass storage mode and recover what you can off the memory card. Disconnect the phone and then format the memory card. Reconnect and copy your data back to the phone.
