Nokia 6280 Bug in v.03.70 firmware

Open a Java Game/App and ask someone to send you a text message.
The phone will continually vibrate and constantly repeat. The phone has to be hard reset to stop the vibration.

No, the problem depends on the Firmware version.
If you have a Nokia 6300 press *#0000# then you'll see the firmware version your phone has currently installed, if you have versions 4.20 or 4.70 you wo´n't experience the issue.
If you have currently installed version 05.00 or if you update your phone to it, you will experience the issue.
Try it and let me know!!!
Thanks for posting a reply.

Firmware upgrade for Nokia 6280

I would like to know do we have firmware upgrade for Nokia 6280 as my present one is 3.65 and would like to upgrade it to 5.92 and I am in India
Could you please help me out.

updating to new firmware depends on product code which represents your region of purchasing, language pack and if it's branded or not .... so NOKIA releases firmwares and release it for every product code depending on mentioned points
you can check for updates @ :
http://mea.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
To find what the latest available device software is, you’ll need your device’s product code. The code is printed on the white label beneath the battery (e.g. CODE: 0520001).
if your phone is branded with an operator, that means that you should go to the operator care center and ask them, not NOKIA
some updates delay in some countries variant product code, as it requires more effort to add language pack to it like "example. China Japan Korea" or it needs the country to approve it due to its policy

Nokia 6280 Firmware versions.

Just wondering what version of the 6280 firmware T-Mobile users have? Whould be interesting as it appears they have the PTT option available, which is not available in my firmware
Nokia 6280

I am not sure what the latest firmware is, but do not update to V6.10 using the Nokia Software Updater. It will brick your phone.

Nokia 6280 problems (resetting), especially on '3'...

As per the request of a moderator (Karim) at the end of a different thread about the Nokia 6280, I am beginning a new thread here about the Nokia 6280 and problems people are encountering with it.
I was upgraded by my network operator '3' onto the Nokia 6280 phone, which arrived on Thursday 9th February 2006. This is a '3-branded' variant of the standard Nokia 6280, with a 3 logo on the front and back, and some 3-specific features in the software.
The phone looks great, and there are many good things about it, but there are some very weird bugs in the software:
- The phone often resets itself (goes black, fast restarts) when changing profiles e.g. from 'General' to 'Silent'
- When trying to change tones, the system seems to 'hang' after which no sound is produced from the phone OS (e.g. button presses, tone noises) until a hard reset is done
- Various other bugs (not discovered by me, but mentioned by others in the previous thread) including text messages being interrupted half-way through, PIN request not being actioned even though activated, and media player issues.
My phone revision information is as follows:
Nokia 6280
V 03.36
05-12-05
RM-78
(c) Nokia
Language:
V 03.36
05-12-05
RM-78
(c) Nokia
C
I am wondering about the following:
- Does this phone support firmware updating?
- If so, will Nokia provide a standard firmware update, or as my phone is a '3-variant' will I have to rely on 3 putting out a firmware update
- Has anybody got any suggestions of how to proceed with this - I am within my 7 day return period, so could return it, but then I'd be without a phone and I'd prefer to keep the phone and have it fixed!
Anyone else with these issues, please join the thread, for clarity I suggest people include what network their phone is on, and the firmware revision of the phone. This can be discovered by tapping *#0000# on their phone.
Thanks

Hi,
I upgraded my phone from 6630 to 6280 with 3 Network, three weeks ago. This is my third phone, and it's the same problem all over. After I transfer all my contacts and pictures etc via bluetooth, I tend to have a play around getting use to the new phone and without any warning the phone would just switch off. It would never switch on again. I tried recharging and leaving it overnight, nothing. Exactly the same thing happen to phone no.2 and no.3. Always when I just finished transferring contact details and pictures. I can't get it to switch on again. I am in the process of returning the 3rd 6280. I think I wouldn't bother with it.
I originally asked for N70, and 3 keep telling me that they don't have it in stock. The other options they have given me are Motorola V3X and LG 8330 which I'm not keen on really as I would prefer a Nokia phone.
Is this a known fault with 6280?. I will keep pressing 3 to give me the N70 or else. I am to the point of not bothering and just keep with my 6630.
Has anyone had the same problem?

Nokia Series 40 & iSync 2.2: Minimum firmware version.

Been reading the testimonials about the long overdue series 40 support for iSync. Seems like there are some f/w requirements and I just want to get a quick log of the s40 users' f/w versions, and whether they were able to sync or not.
I have a 6230 (fw v3.15) and a 8801 (v3.78). Looks like I might be forced to u/g the 6230, but wondering whether the 8801 will be good. Anyhow, post freely.
Thanks.

12"PB Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I bought my Nokia 6230 in Hong Kong in February 2005 and used it while doing fieldwork in West Africa. At that time, my firmware was I believe 4.x (don't quote me on that though!). I discovered that there was a Bluetooth bug in that phone's firmware so transferring files over x amount of MB would hang the phone. When I returned to HK in November 2005, I went to one of the Nokia CareCentres and told them about the problem. The took my phone to upgrade the firmware for free and within an hour got it back. In HK, the Nokia policy is that if there is something wrong with the firmware, they'll upgrade your phone for free. So, you could try that tactic. Say that your old firmware has been having problems with the Bluetooth connection. If it's an old firmware, it's likely it has that problem.
According to PhoneDirector, this is what my phone's firmware currently is:
Phone model: Nokia 6230
Phone software revision: V 05.50
Phone model code: RH-12
Network: Cingular, U.S.A.
Network code: 310 17
Connection status: 6

Nokia 6280 failure restoring contact list using pc...

Hello,
I own a Nokia 6280. Firmware - v3.81
OS: Win XP.
I took the phone to my local phone provider(partner orange, from which I bought the device) to update the phones version. This action has deleted my entire contact list.
Beforehand I made a backup using the pc suite back up feature, and the backup went smoothly. Now, when I try to restore my info using the restore function in the backup(content copier),it restores everything except the contact list. Somewhat in the middle of the resotration of the contact list, an error jumps saying the connection to the phone has been list. A few seconds later the connection restores automatically.
I tried solving the problem using this thread:
http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=pcsuite&message.id=7746&view=...
But it didnt quite work
What can I do to solve this problem? How can I restore my contacts?
And if not, Is there a way to convert the Backup NBU file into Outlook VCF format?
Best regards,
Uri

I've got my entire contact list on the backup file.
except notepad can't disipher the the names into english, and so cant hexedit's of their sort.
Example from the notepad of the backup file:

I tried to recover the phone as soon as I recieved it from the phone provider with the new v3.81. That is , the manufacturer's settings were the default. Unfortunantly that didn't work.

Nokia 6280 restriction code

hi..i have a question regarding my nokia 6280. sometimes my phone will hang and after a while, the phone will be locked and asked for the restriction code..is it normal?and also sometimes even while i am texting, it will be locked and ask the restriction code..may i know what is the restriction code of the phone?i really dont know..please help..

The restriction code is used to unlock as SIM-locked phone.
It is very unusual that your phones asks for it randomly, and then decides it doesn't need one after all, you should try a software update - either do it yourself with Software Updater (see the Nokia web site) or have it done at a Nokia service point. This should iron out the bug that has crept into your phone.

Nokia 6280 - Flight mode

Hello,
In the User Manual for Nokia 6280, on page 59, it's written that this phone supports the Flight Mode.
User Manual: http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_6280_UG_en.pdf
However, I don't see such a choice in my Profiles list. Can anybody suggest me how to enable it?
Firmware version: 3.81.
Phone is bought from T-Mobile Germany.
Thanks in advance,
Lau

At this time, you will have to take your handset to a local Nokia service centre/point.
First use the search to see if your question has already been answered...
Secondly I will not knowingly assist in breaking the forum rules.

Nokia 6280, a way to make it louder?

Hi all
I have a nokia 6280 atm and I listen to alot of music with the headphones. The thing is, when im like stuck in traffic for example the music seems really quite. My mp3 player used to go mauch louder. I even set the volume on maximum. Is there any way to make it even louder or buy better headphones?
p.s. ive bought a headphone adapter so i can plug it into normal headphones but it still is pretty quiet compared to my old mp3 player

If you have firmware 5.92 or newer, you could try raising the equalisers up...although I dont understand how your audio volume is decreasing...mines loud..working fine...at least in my opinion.

Nokia 6280 backlight always on.

Hi i got a problem with my nokia 6280. The blacklight is always on. Even when i turn it off the black light stills on.Frimeware version is v06.43. any got any ide whate i could be?
Message Edited by effok88 on 26-Jan-2009 12:26 AM

the fact that the back light is on even with the phone turned off is disturbing. anyway, remove the battery, that should turn the backlight off, wait for few seconds and then replace the battery back,don't turn te phone on, check to see if the backlight turns on again, if it did , then it's most propaly a hardware defect that should be checked by a nokia care point. if on the other hand the backlight stayed off, and the problem appeared only after you turned on the device for the first time, then i think you should reinstall your firmware and check again, if problem persisted after firmware reinstallation/update then take the phone to the nearest nokia care point.

Nokia 6280 crashed!!!!

I've been reading many of the problems associated with this mobile today in the hope of finding some help with the problem i have just encounted with my 6280 today.
My partner and i purchased 2 Nokia 6280's from Dialaphone and recieved them on saturday 25/03/06. Today sunday, i was browsing on Planet 3 and decided to download a video file to my mobile, having completed the download my mobile switched itself off!!
I've tried switching it back on but all i get is approximately 1 sec of the Nokia logo screen then the screen looks like a snow storm and goes blank, there's still a faint light on the screen with the keys lit but after 2-3 secs the mobile switches completely off. The mobile had just been charged so the problem isn't the battery, all was fine until downloading this video file off Planet 3.
If any of you guys on here could offer any suggestions as to the cause of the problem i'd be grateful.

I had 6280 on Three network since January this year, and it worked fine for a few month although there were a few problems which I thought were minor. The real problems started when it kept crashing, freezing and switching itself off! It happened mostly when I was:
1. listening to music or radio
2. switching between profiles
3. logging onto planet 3 etc.
I finally dicided to act on this, and called Three, and they immediately said it was a software problem and would replace the phone, which they did. This happened in June. A new phone came with some improvements, and this was fine for a few weeks. Then, the same problems again. I was so annoyed, and called Three again. They then said they'll have to repair it and would credit my account with £10 for my inconvenience, which was quite nice of them I suppose. The phone came back repaired and I was very happy with it, till NOW! It started doing this same thing again! It just turns itself off even when on full battery. When this sort of things happen, the batter seems to lose its life, and although fully charged in the morning, by evening it'd be flat because I've had to keep turning it back on! It has been collected by Three for yet another repair, and we shall see what happens. The phone's firmware was v 03.70!
Very frustrated...

Nokia 6280 Software Updater

Hi, this is my fist topic, so sorry if I'll say something wrong. I read about 5.x firmware for Nokia 6280 phone, but I can't find this firmware on the update page. My phone has firmware version 3.40. Tnk's Andrea

Hi,
I have 5.92 on my phone. You'll need to take it to a nokia centre to get upgraded, until they can do it with the updater program that is. Presumably that won't be too long, the 6270 is listed now.
Incidentally, 5.92 seems a lot better than the other firmware. Though is by no means perfect, mine has been fine for a while and now refuses to turn on. Luckily, I'm geting a new contract starting tomorrow so get a new phone.

It will not cost you when you go to the shop, it will be done under the 2 year warranty so it's free.

And you can't do it online because it hasn't been added to list of Nokia Software Updater, check for yourself
