Nokia 6280 camera

Hi! everyone
I have a nokia 6280 which has a 2 mega pixel camera.The camera works fine when there is enough light to take pictures or video,otherewise there are lot of spots or grains..i could say the quality is horrible.when you immedeatly turn the camera towards a light source the spots vanish.
Is it a hardware or a software problem?.
Appreciate your time...
thanks...

This pretty much happens with all digital cameras let alone phones which have a camera attached with them. I get this on my Canon SD550 digital camera (which has now become redundant I have the N95 !).
I don't know the exact details of why it goes "grainy", but it happens to me as well - luckily on some of the N series phones (if not all) you get a flash so it isn't THAT bad .. but definitely off putting !
Regards,
Edward

6280 camera better than N80

Has anyone else compared the N80 and 6280 cameras?
Sis-in-law has just got a 6280 and the cam is alot better than the N80.
I thought the N-Series was meant to be superior top other Nokias?
I'm starting to wish I'd gone for the 6280 instead after having a look at her phone.

OK, image quality is better when printed or on PC.
But wouldn't you agree on my screen and blurring comments?

Is The 6280 camera really this bad?

My k510 with 1.3mp take better photos then the 6280 with 2mp.
And swithcing from low quality to high quality in the options does absolutely nothing.
So should i replace this phone, or all the 6280 have this poor camera quality?
Thx in advance.

i understand, it's just something about nokia's camera phones, the pictures are always not sharp or clear, but sony ericsson i think have the best quality, take the phone back if you don't like the quality of the images, though i don't really need crisp quality

Problem Nokia 6280

Hello everybody, I have a problem with my Nokia 6280, I cannot set any more of photos, when I start the camera, he dashes but my telephone jams and I can make nothing more, and I have to restart my telephone. Help me please !

I believe this is a hardware problem and it is somewhat common that 2 device can't recognize each other especially if one is older than the other. You should try to use other 2 cell phones... But if you still want both of them to work I would suggest going to a special tech support site. I recommend you one with free live chat support.
I am sure you will find your answer there - Here is the page for Nokia Cellular Phone Support
Good luck

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...

Hi. My pc wont take the pc suite so all I do is plug the phone in with the supplied data cable, set the fone to data transfer mode, and the fone shows on the pc as "G" drive. It could also be D,E, F and etc, it depends on what other devices you have on the pc. Once you do this you can drag and drop either way, music pics whatever. Hope this is of help.

Nokia 6280 has died

Hi.
My wife's 6280 has died for some reason.
I have tried to turn it on and get the nokia logo and then it turns off.
I took out both the memory and sim card and turned it on. The Nokia logo came up and then I had a message saying that I need to insert a sim card. Progress, I though!
I put in my sim card and left the memory card out (thinking the memory car might be corrupt). I get the nokia logo and the the battery meter (half full) but then it fades to black then back to the battery meter 3 times and eventually turns off.
Any ideas?

Nokia 6280 - am contemplating getting one, should ...

Ok so I went through nokia 6111's in 3 months at the beginning of the year, and ended up with a Samsung for the remainder of my contract. I am now able to upgrade again in 3 weeks time, and am contemplating getting the Nokia 6280. The man at O2 I spoke to said that he hasnt heard of many problems with them recently, but I keep seeing the odd post about them pop up on here.
Are the majority of them behaving now or should I avoid it?
I want a smallish phone, preferably one that is a flip or slide phone (as it lives in my pocket and I dont want to keep pressing buttons) I love Nokia phones, but dont want to be let down again like I was last time.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

My 6111's kept switching themselves off, or the screen would die, or it would freeze up and reset (one never even made it much further than the box because it was broken when I received it)
I ended up with a samsung because 02 refused to send me any more nokias due to the problems I was having. The D600 I have is ok, but there are just little things about it I dont like - really stupid things, but ones that, when a Nokia works they have them. For example, theres not apostrophe when typing txts, you cant write "weren't" because the hyphon doesnt exist. It doesnt put a capital letter automatically after a full stop, which again the nokias do, and the message capacity of it is tiny.
Anyway Ive gone off topic. I want a phone that I can take decent pics with (the samsung has a really good camera on it) one that has bluetooth, one that I can read my email on (I have a yahoo account, so as its 02 I can check my email) easily and quickly, and bascially one that wont keep switching itself off or dying on me!
Marie
Just a quick note, my N80 doesn't put a caps after full stops. You have to change to it.
Is that an N95 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?!?
Life's too important to take seriously.

Nokia 6280 - MiniSD Password Lockout - non accessa...

I've a Kingston 1GB MiniSD used with the NOKIA 6280. Was working fine for the last few months. Recently, I've notice a "Set Password" in the menu, and would like to protect the data on the MiniSD. After setting the password, I could not access the memory card, nor access to the password function to remove the password. Could not even format as the MiniSD is not shown on menu or anywhere in the phone, as lost. ANYONE, Please advice soonest solution, as I've important data all stored in the card.
I’ve also search the WEB for solution and seems that most there is many such cases but no solution, Is this a bug in the NOKIA 6280 or the KINGSTON MiniSD, please advice.
Truly greatful...

I had the same thing happen to my memory card in the 6280.
Purchased a new 512mb card and also noticed a protection service available on the menu. Requested this and couldn't access the memory card anymore.
The phone didn't recognise that it had a memory card installed and i couldn't find any menu where to un-protect the card. Tried formating the memory card in both my laptop and camera but both said that the card was protected and couldn't format it. Ended up taking the card back to shop and the kid behind the counter replaced it with a new memory card.
It sounds like another software issue with this un-reliable phone.Message Edited by nickrov on 04-Apr-200702:03 PM

Nokia 6280 casing lost

Hi,
I have a slide Nokia 6280, one night by accident I lost the back of the casing that clicks around the silver border and has a little hole for the lens of the camera to see through, and holds the battery in. I don't like having my battery held in with tape and would like to replace the back casing of my phone. Would really appreciate any help or suggestions.
Cheers

Its, easy. Just go to nearest Nokia centre / shop. buy and ask them to replace the casing. Always buy the original one. Little expensive, but worth to buy.

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
-you can show appreciation to my posts if it helped or useful by pressing the green Kudo star beside my post that hepled
-if my answer was the solution , so click accept as solution button

I need restriction code For Nokia 6280

Hello all,
A friend got a Nokia 6280 as a gift from the UK, the phone is on 3 network. each time the phone is put on it asks for restriction code. I don't have the code and do not what code to use.
Hoping to hear from you guys.

Hi giggsonic
This has been discussed many times on this forum including the sticky thread at the top of this board..
http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=hardware&message.id=69
Basically the restriction (sometimes called unlock) code would have to come from the original network.
