Nokia 6230, defaults to "headset" mode

My nokia 6230 suddenly desided to default to the haedset connected mode, and therefore the earpiece speaker will not transmit and sound. I have found that by connecting my data cable to my pc and then disconnecting sorts the problem until I turn the phone off and on again (reverts back to headset connected mode. Have I somehow changed a phone setting to default to this in error or have i got a software/ hardware fault?. Tried factory reset but didn't make any difference. Can anyone help? Thanks Tannytheman

I wouldn't shout that about too much - if you take the phone apart yourself you will void the warranty - so if it has a fault in the future, it won't be covered...
Not worth the risk IMO.
I know the 6230 isn't likely to be covered by the warranty any more, but they were still sold 18 months ago, so some will be covered.

Nokia 6070 stuck in headset mode

starting today my nokia 6070 is refusing to go out of headset mode without ever having had a headset. I reset factory settings and nothing seems to work. Anybody have any idea's?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I believe the 6070 is a pop-port phone, and what you're describing is characteristic of moisture or corrosion inside the connector.
Take your handset to the nearest Nokia Care Point, they will clean it out for you and you should be right as rain afterwards.

Nokia Maps and Bluetooth Headset

Whenever I have my bluetooth headset connected and I'm using Nokia Maps (2 or 3) the volume for navigation keeps switching itself off.
It's not the volume on the headset as this works fine and I can make calls without the volume dropping.
I turned the volume up on my N96 and the next time I get voice directions by NM the sounds drops away again, pretty annoying.
I've re-installed NM maps a few times including the sound files just in case that was the problem and I now that I've moved to NM3 I was hoping the problem might have gone away....it hasn't.
Does this happen to anyone else? Anyone got a fix?
Oh and does anyone else think the Female (UK) voice in NM3 sounds fed up when giving directions?

Hi,
I seem te have the same problem with N82 connecting to standard bleutooth peugeot carkit.
I raised a call with nokia buth they seem to not want to support because of third party. I hooked up an HTC S740 from my buddy this one works like a charm.
Looks like nokia is going into headset modes, see headset icon. Then all sound should go to headset. However my carkit supports also handsfree and it seems like the connection with my nokia keeps ending up in headset!
nokia please help, this has nothing to do with the carkit!
Kind regards Christian

Nokia 6300 stuck on headset

I have a Nokia 6300 and I have never ever used a headset with this phone, however this phone is stuck on headset mode!!
As a result I cannot hear anyone when they phone or when I phone.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this - I have not altered any of the settings as it worked when I went to bed and now it does not!!
Please help!

Try taking the battery out for a few minutes then put it back in. If not resolved, then try resetting your phone to factory defaults. =)

Nokia 6230 Connection

Hi, I've got a Nokia 6230 phone which I've had for some years. To transfer data from my phone to my pc I used to use my Bluetooth connection until I started to have problems. Last year I bought a Nokia CA-70 cable which worked okay, however, I recently downloaded the newest version of the PC Suite and cannot connect to my phone. I reinstalled the software but that didn't work, then I reinstalled my older version (7.1.60.1) and still I cannot get it to connect. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

plz make sure your phone is on suite mode and version of pc is available for ur phone i hope it mistake if nt work start ur phone and press*#7780#then password12345 it will work and enjoy bye bye mail me

PC Suite 6.85.12.0 with a Nokia 6230 Doesn't Sync ...

My phone is a Nokia 6230.
My computer is an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T42 running Windows XP Professional SP2.
I'm using a Bluetooth connection to synchronize the phone with Outlook.
The system info is:
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows XP
Build 2600
Service Pack 2
Language: English
Language for non-Unicode programs: English
Locale: English
Input language: English
Nokia PC Suite:
Version 6.84.10.3
Language: English
Connectivity Cable Drivers:
Version 6.84.4.0
PC Connectivity Solution:
Version 7.22.7.1
Microsoft Outlook:
Version 11.0
Build 8169
Bluetooth stack:
Microsoft Bluetooth stack
Version 5.1.2600
Build 2180
Yesterday I received the message informing me that there was an upgrade available to PC Suite 6.85.12.0. I've had no real problems with 6.84.10.3 but it has a few quirks:
When I synchronize PCS 6.84 with Outlook I have to do it twice. The first time I get a message "Connected to (computer)" on the phone display. The synchronization then ends with a warning message in the last report
PC Sync information.
The mobile phone has not responded.
Possible Solution
Please ensure your phone is in the standby mode, then restart the Synchronization.
If I sync again within a minute the synchronization succeeds. After a minute of no activity the phone displays a message "Disconnected from (computer)" and I am back in the original state.
I can live with this. I just have to hit "Synchronize now" twice about five seconds apart.
The second problem I had was with transferring a largish music file (6 Mbytes) to the phone. I tried several times and it got truncated but I got enough of it (a minute's worth) to be a useful ringtone so I left it at that.
I thought I'd give PCS 6.85 a try and see if a release that promises stability fixes would clear up these quirks. What I ended up with is a release that wouldn't synchronize at all. Every time I tried to synchronize it failed. I would get the "Connected to (computer)" message on the phone follwed about one second later by "Disconnected from (computer)" and the same warning as shown above in the report log.
I then tried to back out to PCS 6.84.10.3. This version, and an older one as well wouldn't work now either. It took me many hours of hair pulling, head scratching, Googling, and experimentation to get back to the version and behavior I had started out with.
Since I didn't see this procedure stated explicitly anywhere let me describe the steps it took.
1) From the control panel remove PC Suite.
2) From the Control Panel remove Cable Connectivity Drivers.
At this point I thought I could just install an older version but the older versions didn't work now either. I then read about PCS Cleaner. So I downloaded that (version 3.6) and tried to run it and got the rather confusing message:
"PC Suite Cleaner does not support this version of Nokia PC Connectivity Solution (version number). Please contact Nokia support."
I then tried manually cleaning PCS files and registry but I only made things worse. Finally after many futile attempts it dawned on me that the above message meant "First remove PC Connectivity Solution" so:
3) From the control panel remove PC Connectivity solution.
4) Now PCS Cleaner 3.6 agreed to launch and I was able to scrub the machine.
5) Finally I could reinstall PC Suite. Reinstalling PC Suite 6.85.12.0 gave me the same no synchronization problem. Repeating the whole procedure with PCS 6.84.10.3 brought my system back to its original state.
I have since again received theadvisory message that a new version of PC Suite is available. Needless to say I am now studiously ignoring it. I do not have the time or patience to work on this again until someone offers a workaround/fix for this problem.
Any ideas?

SOLUTION AT LAST!! (as dumb as it may be)
-- This posts refers to an older version of PC Suite than mine, but I suspect the situation (and the problem) is very similar.
Hey everyone!
It's been hours of forum searching and reading million of suggestions how to make my 6230 sync with the *several* latest versions of Nokia PC Suite (HELLO! NOKIA ARCHITECHTS! You have some serious recurring problem here! Don't abandon the veterans in your client base, it reflects really bad on you service-wise! At least post an official message that you acknowledge the problem and that you're working on it!)
Seems that tons of people encountered my exact problem:
Connection works, pairing works, file copying works, synchronisation doesn't work.
Well, the forums mentioned that the older older versions of PC Suite had a very quick timeout problem, so one had to synchronise twice, fast, in order for sync to succeed.
Now, it seemed like the timeout was reduced to almost "0", and disconnection immediately followed connection.
So, even though I did not see any second confirmation message (normally the phone shows a request to "connect" and then a second request to "transfer data" ) - I thought maybe it was there only disappearing very fast. So I decided to simply click twice fast, and I mean REALLY FAST, on the main button to accept, hoping that the connection will be kept. And VOILA! The connection was kept, and the sync was successful.
I know it's not a permanent solution, but for me, for now, considering how hard (why is it hard, Nokia??) and annoying it is to revert to a much older version of PC Suite - it's at least a temporary solution that works. And the only one I've found so far.
================================
Specifications:
Phone: Nokia 6230
Firmware: 04.44, 21-09-04
PC Suite: 6.86.9.0
MS Windows: XP SP2
MS Outlook: 2003 SP3
================================
I wonder if that would work for everyone.
If so please spread the word, seems that lots of people would like to know that. At least until a decent fix will be released for the PC Suite, that is.
Cheers,
Ohad

Nokia 6230 car hands free ACI question

hello there,
I was trying to connect my nokia 6230 to the car's audio AUX input in order to be able to listen to MP3.
I have a very good knowkedge in Electronics, so i did some changes in the hands-free car kit.
question is : I noticed that when the car kit is connected to the phone (& the car icon appears), the audio output becomes MONO, which means I can't really enjoy stereo MP3 (with my change I bypasssed the car kit's speaker output with relay only when call is active).
the audio out pins of the pop port are at pins 11-14.
BUT - again - when car kit is attached, output pins 13-14 are inactive (only mono from pins 11-12 is available)
does anyone know how to hack this further more so it becomes stereo ? (I guess it is something with the ACI protocol ?? (pin 3))
thanks,
TOM

The phone is only seeing your "modification" as the basic the mono headset. It needs to recognise the ACI chip in the headset, that tells the phone whats plugged in and therefore what audio paths to turn on. Unless you can mimic the ACI info (copywright infringement so be aware)the phone wont open the second audio path.Message Edited by megadodo on 06-Sep-200704:16 PM

Nokia 6230 calls can't get through

hi,
i'm using a Nokia 6230 on AT&T wireless network. lately, i've been experiencing call difficulty with my phone. after dialing numbers, i didn't hear any ringing from my phone, so i have to call the number again to have the call go through. but my friends told me they heard the ring and picked up the phone, but no one is answering. i checked the att reception in the area, and it doesn't seem to be a network problem. just wonder what's wrong?
the phone was bought 3 years ago brand new. and i'd like to know whether it's early signs of hardware failing.

Hi arabianights,
Welcome to the Nokia forum.
Try a reset and a software update, if this doesn't work I would highly recommend visiting a local Care centre to get it checked as it will most likely be a hardware issue in that case.
Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and go to Tools > Back up to make sure you don't loose any data on your phone. Don't tick the Settings box as this will back up a potential bug in the software that might be causing this.
Now disconnect the device from Nokia Suite and enter *#7370# into your phone and default security code 12345, unless you've changed this code yourself.
Once the phone has rebooted you will have an empty phone. Reconnect the device to Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow where you can update the software. If there's no update listed, reinstall the current software. This option is displayed in blue.
Now go to Tools > Restore to restore the back up onto your phone.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please visit a local Care centre. You can find the one nearest to you here.
Please get back to me and let me know how you get on.

Samsung Trance stuck in headset mode

My Samsung trance has no sound when I don't have headphones plugged in and when I open a text message, it automatically initiates an outgoing call to the message sender.

Hi candace_marie18.
I'm sorry to learn your Samsung Trance is having issues with being stuck in headset mode, as well as it placing calls automatically to people when you open your texts. Let's see what we can do. How long have you had your phone? When did this start happening? Has it been dropped or exposed to liquid at all? You can try removing battery for 30 seconds and restart to see if it fixes issues. Otherwise, as archeryhunter1993 mentioned, you can try a Master Reset.
* From the main screen, press OK to choose Menu.
* Select Settings & Tools then press OK.
* Select Phone Settings then press OK.
* Select Security then press OK.
* Enter the Phone Lock Code (default is the last 4 digits of the phone number) then press OK.
* Select Restore Phone then press OK.
* Select Yes then press OK.
* Press OK.
* Enter the handset lock code (default is the last 4 digits of the phone number) then press OK.
I trust this information is helpful.
Thank you,

Why don't I have enough memory on Nokia 6230?

Hi: I have a Nokia 6230 and sync it regularly with my computer. I have about 700 contacts and sync a relatively full calendar from one week ago to two weeks in advance. A to-do list also synchronizes. I regularly get the following error on my computer: [Nokia 6230] The phone calendar is full. Please delete some calendar events on your phone or change the filtering options and synchronize again. And, I regularly get a "to-do memory full" error on my phone. However, the memory status on my phone says: Phone: Free memory 6.1 MB Used memory 1.2 MB Memory card: Free memory 24.5 MB Used memory 5.9 MB Size 30.2 MB As you can see, both memories are only partially used yet I get constant errors regarding lack of memory. Contacts settings are set to use "Phone and SIM". Memory Status for Contacts reads Phone: 30% free, 70% used, SIM Card 250 free, 0 in use. How can I use the phone's memory more efficiently? Thanks,

Yes, Charlie is right. With any OS, the listed minimum RAM is always enough to just barely run it. In practice, this is rarely ever enough, because as soon as you add the demands of software etc it can't keep up. I am impressed you can manage at all, quite honestly. (Smiles)
What really impresses me, however, is that someone was actually selling computers with 1G of RAM 2 years ago. Four years ago I bought a cheapish Windows laptop, and the choice was btwn 2 or 4G. I have since worn it out (did I mention cheap?), and have inherited a four year old MacBook Pro. It came stock with 2G, so I upped it to 4G. It walks like my grannie, and I do all my 'real' work on an iMAC with 16G. Most people these days buy 8G.
The problem you may have with upgrading is that your board is probably old, too. If you do purchase a new one, ask around in here regarding specs.. and don't buy one from the person who sold you that one! (chuckles)

Hi Bungaroosh,
You have presented with certainly an unique situation. I suspect that first of all, the reason the website you rely on opens on your friend's Samsung is that a lot of websites out there have updated their support for more current web development standards....which for some older browsers accessing their websites can cause compatibility/rendering issues. I suspect that the company will want to cater for as many of their customers, and the number of users using severly outdated browsers numbers in the minority.
Firmware updates for the older DCT-4 phones such as your 6230i were only able to be performed via Nokia Care points. I enquried about updating my 7710 a while or so ago, and got the rather flat answer that my device was so old that they no longer had the equipment to update it. I suspect it would be the same in your case.
Not too sure that the HS-10 headset would be compatible with any of the newer Nokia's. There are a number of cheap Nokia newer headsets out there that would work with many of today's newer phones.
I understand your need for a phone that just does phone calls and texts, and the occasional train line check. I would recommend a phone such as the Nokia 110, but since it is using WAP 1.1, am unsure as to how much support it would have with today's websites. A safer bet is to use an Asha phone such as the 202, 203, 300, that has support for the newer websites. These you can get on the cheap these days anyway. And they will all pretty much play MP3's.
The 6230i is a seven year old phone, be proud that you extracted that much usage out of it . There are many newer options out there these days, and maybe there's a bit of a learning curve, but keep your mind open....you could be very pleasantly surprised by the features you gain and enjoy!
Hope this helps.

Nokia 6230 - no sound through speaker

Hi everyone,
I'm using a UK Nokia 6230 on v04.28. For a few weeks now I've been having trouble with the speaker. Ringtones, videos and mp3's will not work at all. Keyboard tones work fine. Phone hasn't had a drop or contact with water or anything. I guess the speaker isn't busted because when you change videos or songs you can actually hear the end of the previous clip when you change - which is very odd.
In addition when switched on the phone sometimes flashes up "request cancelled" automatically I don't know if this is related.

With the two faults, if it is in warranty then you can get these fixed (assuming there is no liquid or physical damage to the phone) free of charge. If the phone is out of warranty you would be charge a small fee to fixed the speaker and to upgrade the software

Does NOKIA 6230 Support themes?

Does NOKIA 6230 Support themes?
* )if yes kindly tell me how? & whats it type??does it need any program ???!!
*) if noo thx alot?

Why does the Malaysian Nokia website say that a 6300 supports wma when the uk one says it doesn't?
Nokia Music Manager doesn't have support for WMA. So how then do you copy wma music to the phone?
My version of Nokia Music Manager has an option to search my PC for music, but doesn't find anything! I have some MP3 and mostly WMA. With MP3 selected it still doesn't find anything.
My experience with Nokia Suite over the past 6 years is less than favourable. Any free alternatives out there?
Do I have to get a Micro SD to SD converter and copy the files to the Micro SD card to get it to work?
Software supplied is not exactly slick!
