Nokia 6085 Does not use CA-53 cable!

I ordered a new Nokia 6085 and wanted to put all the data and stuff on my phone - it shows that the CA-53 is the cable for it. So stupid me ordered it. The cable does not even come close to fitting into the bar connection on the phone. the CA-53 is even not wide enough to accomodate the connection on the phone. Am I missing something or is my phone screwed up? The connection on the cable looks like it has only 6 small prongs on half of the connector. My phone connection is another 2 mm wider and has a full gold set accross the bar for connections. Either the literature is incorrect or my phone is different than the regular phones. HELP anyone?

Hi Stone,
The cable you actually need is the CA-40. You can buy this from the phone shop and it will be about £15. Alternatively as your Nokia 6085 supports Bluetooth (as do most phones) you would be better off buying a USB Bluetooth adapter. The main benefit is it connects to your phone wirelessly, means less fumbling and is compatible with the vast majority of phones today, so if you change the phone you dont have to change the accessory.
Some where like AllMobilePhoneAccessories.com will sell what you need.
I have so many cables from all the different phones i've used over the years.

  • Nokia 6233 does not notice any USB-cable

    I'm trying to upload some files from my phone to my computer. The problem is that when I connect USB-cable (ca-53, should be suitable with 6233) nothing appears on my phone screen. When I click the settings > connections > usb-cable, it only tells me "first connect the usb-datacable".
    So what should I do? The problem isn't in my computer, I've tested it with another usb connection.

    In that case, uninstall all Nokia related software and drivers with Revo, clean the registry with Ccleaner. Reinstall the latest PC Suite, turn off antivirus during install. Reboot the PC. Start PC Suite and then connect the phone in PC Suite mode.

  • Nokia E75 does not support sis files

    I've been trying to upgrade the Ovi maps on my E75, because navigation has kept me saying that I need to renew the license. I went to Nokia web site and found out that I need to upgrade Ovi maps in order to get the free navigation. I have a 202.12.01 firmware and I installed it once again when I had unsuccessfully tried to upgrade Ovi maps. I have Ovi maps v3.01 09wk44b01 (MW OpenGL LM MN) and Map version 0.1.24.114 (OpenBitLM 6.22.5). I've deleted all old maps and started to download new ones successfully over Nokia Ovi Suite. I've downloaded Nokia Ovi Suite and followed the instructions for downloading and installing the newest version of Ovi maps application (I suppose it must be newer than the one I have on now, because navigation still wants me to buy license, I guess it must be 3.03 or higher). I've tried it several times from the scratch, just to make sure I did it right. Of course I've also chosen the right E75 phone from the drop down menu and I downloaded the file nokia_maps_3.01_09wk44_b01_s60_3.2_lm_rom.sis. I double-clicked it and everything seems to be right, but when action on the phone should be required the installation guide says "Nokia E75 does not support sis files". From the sis file name I can only now see that I have this version already installed.
    Does this mean I can not use navigation for free on E75?
    Can anybody help me ASAP, because I need the navigation evey day very badly?

    I'v followed the directions of chanchan05 "Just uninstall the maps app, delete the folder and file I mentioned, then reboot your phone. Open the maps app, and it should recreate the qf file and cities folder in a version compatible to 3.03." on /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Wasn-t-it-supposed-to-be-quot-Navigation-on-your-Nokia-Free/m-p/668305#M...
    Afterwards I installed the sis file you pointed me to and it worked. The maps on the phone were deleted, so I downloaded new ones over Nokia Ovi Suite and tried the navigation. Unfortunately it stills demands buying the licence for the navigation.
    I guess this is because the recommended sis file is v3.01 and not v3.03? Is that right?
    Any other solution?

  • Nokia N70 does not synchronize my outlook once off...

    My Nokia N70 does not synchronize my outlook once off appointments but only reoccurring ones with Windows 7 as operating system & MS Office 2007 using PC Suite version 7.1.40.1 Why it was working before with older PC Suites?

    I had a similar problem.  there are many solutions, not anyone works for everyone. 
    Here is what I did:
    In the windows file manager, under properties, for each of the files, in the iTunes programs directory.
    AppleMobileDeviceHelper
    ituneshelper
    Synchserver
    to xp compatibility mode.
    Do NOT change compatibiliy mode on itunes.exe.
    It only applies to Window Vista and newer.
    It appears that apple does not play nice with Windows.  The relationship with Microsoft is tenuous, and fixes come late and lst.
    Good luck.

  • Nokia 1661 does not recognize sim

    Hello everyone, I am desperately needing help. My nokia 1661 does not recognize my sim. I am using a O2 sim. Please don't tell me to get a new sim because I have 30 pounds on that sim and lots of vouchers and other stuff.

    Hi HenryJia,
    Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
    If your 1661 has been locked to another operator it will not accept the SIM. Do you see a notification when you start the phone or does it display 'no service' or 'offline'. Have your tried to change the phone profile to the general profile? You can do this by going to Menu>Settings>Profiles>General 'activate'.
    Have you tried if the SIM does work in another phone or another SIM in your 1661?
    Hope his helps,
    Kosh

  • Nokia Suite does NOT backup map favorites. Belle u...

    I recently updated my E7-00 from Anna to Belle and lost all my map favorites in the process.
    Although I did a full backup of my phone before the update I have since found out that Nokia Suite does not backup map favorites.
    The Belle update did NOT make a copy of my map favorites, it wiped them out completely.
    Nowhere have I seen that information before.  When I updated to Anna I did not lose my map favorites.
    There should be a warning about this before starting the Belle update.
    The Belle Update FAQ states that after the update one of the things one can do immediately is access map favorites - NOT!
    I have since learned, by searching online, that I am expected to sync my map favorites online with a Nokia server.  I do not want to store my confidential information on someone else's server.  Additionally, I don't pay for data service because it is so expensive here in Canada.  So I would have to connect my phone via USB to my PC.
    Nokia Suite backs up my contacts, photos,music, documents, etc.  Why not my map favorites?  In fact I store my music, photos, documents, and even contact information separate from my phone so I don't need Nokia Suite for that.  But how do I copy my GPS coordinates off my phone for backup?
    2nd level tech support suggested I recreate them all by browsing the maps on my phone and selecting the locations.  That is so inaccurate, time consuming, and wrong.  Supposedly they have passed my problem onto 3rd level tech support.
    Does anyone know if one can import map coordinates into a symbian phone?  I have many of the locations stored in another GPS application on a laptop.  I can export them from there.  That would be a partial solution.
    Thanks.
    Note: cross posted under Discussions Main Page > Software > Nokia Suite

    I might suggest a Wi-Fi connection for access to the 'net, but let me assume that storing anything on a different server is not an option.  So, what remains...
    The least expensive, and simplest, method would be for you to buy any second Nokia phone that runs Nokia Maps.  I use Nokia's Phone Switch technology to transfer all my maps data to a second phone.  I'll have to do it again, so I can give you specific instructions on the "how", but the bottom line is it does work.
    As to importing and exporting GPS Coordinates, I learned by accident that you can enter favorites by using GPS coordinates - and can also find the coordinates for something you have already entered.
    A free program that I think is invaluable for using Maps on a Nokia, especially the N8, is "LeGPSData2".  I used their older version for years, until the certificate expired and I was unable to upload it to my N8, but the new version is considerably better.  You might find a way to do other things you mentioned with that program - and if not, you might suggest them (import/export) to the program author.
    If you are as careful as you suggest you are, don't you have backups that you've already done on your PC?  Have you tried to find your GPS data in those backups? 
    I can't speak for others, but regardless of what Nokia saiys would or woud not happen during the phone update, I don't "trust" any of it.  I did my own backups two ways, as a complete bacakup on the PC, and as a phone backup on the memory card.  I "think" but can't confirm, that the GPS data was backed up by both of them.
    You're right - Nokia should fix the Belle installation script to also backup and re-install the maps data, if there is something wrong, but on my phone it did it all correctly following their instructions (in addition to my other backups, which I never needed). 
    If I get some free time, I'll see if I can get the import/export to work using Maps and LeGPSData2.  It would be nice to do this to one location, multiple locations, or all locations.  It would be nice to send this data to another phone directly, or to save it as a file.

  • Nokia N8 does not support DTMF ! Can this be fixed...

    My Nokia N8 does not seem to be able to do DTMF. This means no listening to voicemail, no using of call centers which asks to enter numeric options, no joining telephone conferecences with a pin and no remote activation of DTMF based server settings.
    It is a real pain and I hope it can be fixed. If anyone has advice, it will be appreciated.
    P.S. Please don't tell me that it can be done and all I need to do during a call is to select "Options -> Send DTMF -> Enter Manually -> * -> Y", because that is stupid. Entering 5 commands to select a single digit is rediculous. It is like saying that I can sail from Johannesburg to Cape Town because all I need is to dig a canal and then build a ship from matches. This much effort is as good as not having it and is entirely impractical during a call with various options i.e. voicemail or call center options.
    Solved!

    Was worried in case you may have forgotten how to use it between post 2 and post 11 . For myself I sometimes forget things that quickly.
    Besides, I would love having the opportunity to teach someone how to dial a number on a telephone but am frustrated because I have never found anyone who needs teaching  .

  • Nokia Suite does not see saved messages

    Hi! I transferred a part of the messages in my Nokia 6303 to phone' s folder Saved Messages, and since then the troubles began.
    1. I can not move any sms out of the Saved Messages folder, for example, it is not possible to send them back to Inbox folder or any place else.
    2. Nokia Suite does not see some of those saved messages- they appear as empty boxes there, despite I can read them on my phone.
    Can I restore all messages downloaded to Nokia Suite, making them readable?
    How can I move the sms from Saved Messages folder on my phone?
    Can I tranfer sms from Saved Messages folder of my Nokia 6303 to another phone (even not Nokia)?

    Hi Nicksimper,
    Welcome to the Nokia Discussion boards!
    First could you do a soft reset on your phone by entering *#7780# into your phone’s keypad. The default password when prompted is 12345. This reset will NOT erase any data, but revert settings back to original. Also, ensure you have the latest firmware by visiting this page and the latest version of PC Suite by following this link here.
    The following link provides extensive information for managing your messages on Nokia devices using Nokia PC suite.
    In order for you to move messages out of the “Saved messages” folder, you will have to create a new folder in the same directory, but you will not able to move messages back into your inbox. To move your saved messages to another non-Nokia device, you can forward the messages via SMS.
    Hope this helps and let us know how it works out.
    Regards,
    haZey

    Whereas /etc/default/passwd on the ldap client says passwords must be 8 characters. This is seen with the pam_authtok_check: minimum length from /etc/default/passwd: 8
    . It is clearly not using the policy from the directory server but checking locally. So I can login ok using the ldap server for authentication but when I try to change the password it does not use the policy from the server which says I only need a minimum lenght of 6 characters.
    I have read that pam_ldap is only supported for directory server 5.2. Because I am running ds6 and with password compatability in ds6 mode maybe this is my problem. Does anyone know of any updated pam_ldap modules for solaris 9?

    you can try passwd -r ldap for changing the ldap passwds...

  • Mail does not use correct outgoing server

    Problem
    Mail in Mavericks (and also IOS6 snf 7) does not use the outgoing smtp server associated with the account being used. This results in either a failure to send or mail being put into the wrong "Sent" folder.
    Background
    I have most of my non-icloud mail pulled down to a home server from which my laptops and ios devices access various accounts using imap. The local home server also provides smtp and relays all mail to my ISP. Recently I have been switching from an old home server (Mac Mini) to a new one (Raspberry pi running the debian Raspbian version with fetchmail,  Dovecot and postfix setup).
    While making the changeover I had access to both the old server and the new server enabled on my laptop. Naturally the majority of the settings (Name, email address etc) were the same although the name and address of the server to be used for both incoming and outgoing mail were different. This seemed tp work fine for incoming. However when I tested outgoing mail the copy that should appear in the "sentt" box  went missing. This usually indicates some mistake in the setting of the sent mail folder on the accounts but this all checked out.
    I eventually found the missing outgoing mail intended to go through the new server in the sent box on the old server. Further trials showed that no matter what I did the outgoing would always default to the old (and therefore first set up) outgoing server.
    Deleting the old account and the old outgoing server of course should cure the problem and will eventually be the solution for me when I kill the old server. But i wanted to get to the bottom of the problem in case it reappeared in other contexts. Checking the "use only this server" box produced failure to send rather than the correct result.
    Trialing various alterntaive settings showed that the problem occurs when there are two outgoing servers with the email address in the settings and the user name on the outgoing server name being the same. I had assumed that changing the description field would distinguish between the various settings; however this did not work. Changing the Name Field did work eg by putting (O) after my name.
    It appears therefore that mail selects the outgoing server on the basis of email address (with the full name included) and user name (trrespective of the actual server or the Description that shows in the smtp server listing. In some ways this is logical but it produces problems in the context I have described and would also be a difficulty if you wanted to use an alternative server when in a different location.
    I have trawled support and elsewhere for any thing similar. Lots of mail problems (don't get me started on the way icloud loses outgoing each time you edit the list!) but I have not found any posts on precisiely this point.
    IOS devices seem to have similar problems, but a quick attempt at a similar solution does not work, and I cannot be bothered  to test the options. I will simply clean them out and put in the new accounts.
    Advice
    Grateful for any comments or advice from people who have encountered similar problems and whether my diagnosis if correct. Have I missed any obvious corrections that would clear this up. I do not know whether this is a Mavericks issue or also appears in earlier OSX versions.

    Peter,
    Where ever the Sent and Trash folders show in the Sidebar, highlight first one, and then the other, followed by clicking on Mailbox in the Menubar, and choosing Use This Mailbox For, and choose the function.
    Keep us posted on your progress.
