Nokia 6120 Classic USB Modem is not working proper...

Hello everybody!
Something strange happened last week with my Nokia 6120 Classic (version: 03.83). I regularly use it as a USB modem and last week's Wednesday it stopped working. What the problem really is due to, is hard for me to say precisely.
Using Windows Vista (Business, x64, SP1) "Connect to" function, I have previously connected to using HSDPA, but after last week the following happens:
Starts with "Dialing" then goes to showing status "Verifying user name and password" for less than a second after which Vista informs that "Failed to connect to..." and the phone shows the 3G symbol with dashed arrows below.
I've tried the following:
- reinstalling PC Suite (the latest, greatest version)
- reinstalling the modem drivers (between Nokia USB modem and 6120 USB modem) using the whole reboot thing
- using another USB port, which doesn't work since Device Manager reports that the driver can't start properly
- restarting, cold resetting the phone
- switching to GSM only
- testing with another computer running SP1
- removing modem init commands for the Internet connection
Now, the strange thing with the second computer was that everything worked just fine with it. My computer on the other hand didn't work at all!
I've put the modem communication logs from the working computer here:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ah8pw9pjrf55_12g38wqpdt
And the modem communication logs from my non-working computer here:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ah8pw9pjrf55_11hjcq39g4
What was interesting on my computer is the "NO CARRIER" line which makes no sense to me: why on earth is it starting to check for a carrier signal all of the sudden??
Any tips with this here dilemma would be greatly appreciated.

I tried using a Nokia E90 and connecting to the net using both PC Suite's "Connect to the Internet" and using Windows´ "Connect to" programs. With the E90, I had the same problems: fails at "Verifying user name and password" and the strange looking modem communications log.
What the heck is going on with my Windows installation here? I tried removing the drivers again, repairing PC suite and restarting the computer, but to no avail.

I Installed Lion and now my USB modem will not work to send a PDF fax? Do I need a new USB modem to send faxes or is there a software update that I need?

3g usb modem does not work on Lion?

I have had a 3g usb modem for almost two years now, it worked fine on Snow Leopard but does not pick up any connection to any cell tower after my upgrade to Lion. Any suggestions?

Thank you 'etresoft'. With minimal information from me you have provided a fix to the problem. Although, the cost at 49.5 euros per computer is a bit steep. I think I will just buy a later spec modem at $A79 and be able to use it on all my computers. Regards from iadoreapples

Iball Usb modem(dongle) not working on g510 after windows 10 installation

Hi to all, I have just joined the forum to take some help from u people. I have a G510, on which i have just upgraded the OS from windows 8.1 to 10. After upgrading, some issues came like hdmi cable not working, external hard disk not detecting, etc., which with installation of drivers from lenovo website just went away. But still there is a problem of not connecting of my iball airway 21.0 Mp-58 3g usb modem with the lappy. The message coming while installation is "633The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly". I have written to iball customer care for providing supporting driver for windows 10, but apart from them, if anybody else knows the way out, kindly share that to me. Thanks and regardsVirendra

External USB Modem fax not working under 10.5.8

Anybody else seeing this?

This solution is a "workaround" and will not affect in any problems, like I saw that they will happen after:
1.) Removing and changing "IOSerialFamily.kext" : ("The system extension '/System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext' was installed improperly and cannot be used....")
2.) or go back to OS 10.5.5... (latest security-updates not included)
Go to your System-Prefs -> Printing and Faxing
chose the Fax-Modem -> Options
1.) to receive faxes: choose "receive faxes on this computer"
2.) to send faxes: choose not to "receive faxes on this computer",
plug your modem out, wait 5 seconds and plug it in.
Now you can send faxes, but not receive,
before you choose "receive faxes on this computer" again.
To send, you have to start with 2.) again...
It's strange for a mac, but better than 10.5.5 or a corrupted system...
APPLE-STUFF: HERE AGAIN: FIX THAT FAX-PROBLEM FOR 10.5.8 QUICK PLEASE - IT'S IMPORTANT!!!

Nokia 2700 classic BUILT IN BROWSER NOT WORKING !!...

i was about to download opera mini next for my phone. But when i went to the download page and tried to download it. My built in browser came up and started loading the page...but it keeps loading and the page doesn't load. I thought it was for my slow connection. I waited for 5 mins but nothing happened. What to do??

Just make your default browser working.
Goto configuration in settings and select correct settings for default config. Settings and preferred access point and select default in all apps and select yes.
Now your default browser should be working for downloads.

Nokia 6700 skype or messenger is not working prope...

Hi.. the nokia 6700 on a 3 contract comes with skype. When i try to minimise the application it says closing application and literally it closes down the application. It dosent stay minimised or hide. As i contacted my service provider they say that nokia 6700 was build this way. If it has been build like this its sad that i have one. Can some one from Nokia confirm this?? There is no point of using skype when it closes down. Can Nokia update the firmware version so that applications can stay ??? Apart from this 6700 is a master piece but it dosent have a secondary camera...
kind regards,
vin

I purchased my phone from O2 (sim-free) apparently but it came with their settings. As it is branded that must be the reason for the slight variation in installed applications, settings .etc
When attempting to playback a video on m.youtube.com the media player loads, containing the globe icon with a small arrow, indicating a shortcut or link of some sort, the time/length of the clip updates but after a few seconds i get the "i" symbol in a pop up message displaying "No Response."
Any ideas?
Should I try reinstalling the 7.60 firmware with Nokia Software Updater?

Nokia 6120 Classic Accept button not working

I have a Nokia 6120 Classic and is not working fine. I have decided to change my mobile.
Before change my mobile I want to backup all my data and telephone numbers. The problem is that Accept button is not working correct. When I start my mobile I can enter pin number but after this I can't enter the date because I have to use Accept button (the one in the top left). Is there any possibility to skip entering date? This is the only wey to enter mobile and backup my data
Thanks

I was going to take it to Nokia care but duh? Should the button stop working suddenly? Without anything wrong also the same with the camera button also I'm not the first one to have this problem right? Then its not our problem but its Nokia's I thought there's another solution, but yeah I'm making angry posts can you just make good products? I see all the people complaint about that button **bleep**, you better not talk while maybe the problem from th company.

Go to Solution.

Sometimes the drivers for your Nokia device and associated connectivity cables can become corrupted.
To resolve this, uninstall and re-install Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater:
- In your PC’s Control Panel, go to Add/Remove programs
- Uninstall Nokia Software Updater (if there are more than one entries uninstall all of them)
- Uninstall Nokia PC Suite
- Go to www.europe.nokia.com/pcsuite to download and install the latest version of Nokia PC Suite
- Go to www.europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate to download and install Nokia Software Updater

Nokia 6120 classic - Call log icons bug

Hi to all.
This is my first message in the forum.
One week ago I bought a Nokia 6120 classic with brand Vodafone (I'm from italy).
Everything works great except the icons in the call log, accessible with the green key (that's to say the answer key).
In fact, despite the phone numbers are correctly stored (and divided, for each contact, into mobile, home, etc.), the icons in the call lag is always the small blue icon related to a mobile phone niumber, even if the number does not correspond to a mobile phone number.
I have firmare version 4.21.
This is what appears with *#0000#
v 04.21
09-10-07
RM-243
Nokia 6129c EMS53.02
Through Nokia Software Updates I see there is a new firmare: v6.01.
Do you know if this firmware fix the call log icons bug?
As it is the unique bug I faced, I don't want to go on with a firmeware update if the new firmare do not solve it.
Unfortunately I can't find on the web a changelog for this firmware.
Many thanks.
Filippo

well the change logs for firmware updates are not public knowledge, they do not get released so in reality you never know what you are getting. firmware update is always recommened as it brings in more stability to the phone, usually fixes bugs, improves speed, sometimes battery performance and other identified issues. the chances are that you will not be able to find a changelog for your phone. you may not be able to update your phone unless it has been approved by voda since your phone is branded it is up to them to release approved firmware versions for thier customers.

New Battery for Nokia 6120 Classic

Hello! What do you know?! Is there other battery compatible with Nokia 6120 Classic??? This one(BL-5B) sucks. 2 days without taking pictures, playing games, listening music, etc, just normally speaking (not much at all). And I turn it off during the night! All my friends have the same problem so that means that my battery has no malfunction, this is how it is made! Please help me! Is there other battery compatible with Nokia 6120 Classic???

I don't know why they don't make a better alternative.
It's size, weight and price range that determine which battery they use.
The 6120c is quite small for a smartphone and it's also considered to be a low-end model with a fairly low price tag.
Sometimes these compromises are made to release a device into a certain price range to be competitive.
You are better off searching google or unofficial forums to see if anyone has got a different battery to work as it's never been mentioned here.

Hi I have a Nokia 6120 Classic on Vodafone Egypt. Last month I downloaded skype mobile onto the phone and was able to skype reasonably well (within limitations as I am at a remote location) I left Egypt for some three weeks and on my return the skype application now does not work. I have discussed this with Vodafone and they have resent the settings to the mobile and I have also removed and reloaded Skype. But still no joy it just hangs when signing in until it times out? Skype version is Sybian 1.5.0.12, it's saved on the phone memory. In the advanced settings the incoming conn. port 8877 The Alternative in. ports 8877.
I can still get the internet on the mobile (eg Google and searches ok) Voda fone tell me if I can access the internet I should be able to access Skype? As far as I can see this is the right Skype download and I got it from the Nokia website. In need of some help please as this little application was really quite good, the other options are very expensive.

Memory/software issues with the Nokia 6120 classic...

Hi. I have a Nokia 6120 classic phone which I bought recently (not covered by warranty) and I'm having problems with the phone on my memory or software part (i don't know which one is exactly). I'm having issues like this for example when I'm to run Opera Mobile 10 on my phone after 2 or 3 sessions of browsing it starts telling me that it does not have enough memory and to close any other applications when non of them are really running at all (not even anti-virus). If I try to open it when for example an application like radio or music player is running it won't even bother to give me the loading logo or something, giving me the same memory error like it does in the previous described issue.
Another issue of this phone is when I open high quality 3gp videos in real player and I switch it to full-screen the video will freeze every 3-4 seconds, thing that doesn't happen when it's out of full screen.
Can somebody help me fix these issues? Thank you and good luck.

D-Link 562M modem does not works in Solaris 10 (?)

I use D-Link 562M external USB 56K modem. Modem works in Windows but does not works in Solaris 10 (?). Help me!

pat.gibbons wrote:
Not supported yet but will be in a future Solaris Express release.Many USB modems are not really modems but the entire signal processing is done by the host computer. Such "winmodems" require signal processing software which is quite complex. I do not think that such modems are supported in the following versions of Solaris.
If the 562M is NOT such a modem (but a "real" one) it should be quite easy to adapt a driver to work with this modem.
