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?

Hello,
Is it possible to charge phone's battery by standard charger device?

Nokia 6280 update

hi!!!1 my nokia(6280) has some troubles.may you help me?
it has automatically switched on and off.(in stand by mode)automatically changing profiles(gentral,silent........) what is the problem?

There's not alot you can do on an S40 phone like the 6280.
Your only option here is to take your phone to your local Nokia Care Point. They'll be able to assess the problem and either reflash it or send it off for repairs.

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.

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!

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?!?

Nokia 6280 and NSU support: the final request

I've decided to write this because it's extremely shameful that still now, more than 2 years after its introduction on the market, the 6280 hasn't an official update support, only due to the damned problem with the update from firmware version 3.40.
Is it so difficult to implement into NSU a system of firmware version recognition, and, in case, to block updates for phones with that version installed?
I continue not to understand this strange policy towards certain phone models, that obliges users to apply to unofficial, and illegal, upgrade methods (that work perfectly, if correctly used!)
I hope that, with the release of the next firmware package 6.60 (if it'll be EFFECTIVELY released, instead of inserting false version numbers in the section "Can I update" of the upgrade page - see this /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&thread.id=29440&view=by_date_ascending&page=1 ) you're going to correct this lack of availability.

Ok so we cant help him but sometimes its good to let off steam, especially as his Nokia fone has been such a disgrace. I hope he reflects on his previous Nokia purchases , and when it comes time to upgrade he chooses a Nokia product. Its also good to keep in touch with customer service elements of Nokia, as this is just, if not more important than the actual product. If customer service is lacking then where is the confidence in buying with confidence !!

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.

You need to contact the provider as they are the only ones that can unlock phones. Try looking at the unlocking topic for all related info.

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, lose of reception all of a sudden

Hi,
a few months ago My nokia 6280 all of a sudden lost reception even though i live in a full reception area and always have full 4 bars. It lost it for 3 days and i thought it was a network fault, but when i took sim card out and put it in an old fone it worked fine.
tonight, it has done the same thing but this time, it loses reception completely, and then 2 mins later gets full again!, it is really annoying cos i cant make any fone calls or send txts. it just says error in connection
ive tried turning it on and off and takin battery and sim out, but no luck...
any ideas? and anyone experience the same?

Hello there,
Don't worry i had the same problem for a whole week!
Ended up using my trusted Sony Ericsson W850i instead of my 6280.
What i did was i took the battery out for a whole day and it simply worked again. I don't know what the problem was but it may not be similar to yours.

Is it getting the info via internet or satellite?
I really have no idea its all new to me and a friend has GPS on his nokia 6110 and said he does not pay for it its free,
I was going to get a navigater for the car but would prefer it on the phone if possible...pls help explain it very simply.
cheers any help very appriciated

Hi interior1
Provided that you have a generous data plan, you could always try a Java based application such as Nav4All with an external Bluetooth GPS receiver on your S40 device:http://www.nav4all.com/languages/enguk/handset_nokia_6280.php?m=6280
On S60 devices mapping data can be stored locally to obviate need to download data with associated costs involved.

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.

Nokia 6280 - how do you get it offline?

I recently purchases a second hand Nokia 6280. According to the Quick Start Guide under Phone hints it says: "Offline Mode: in the Profiles menu is offline mode, which turns off the mobile network connection. Choose this mode to use your Nokia 6280 when normal phones must be switched off (on planes, for example)" I do not seem to have this offline mode as an option. I get the following options only: General, Silent, Meeting, Outdoor, My Style 1, My Style 2 and Lock Keypad. Anybody got any suggestions, or is the Guide simply wrong ? Cheers

You'd have to take it to a service centre for an update.
There is no guarantee you'll get 5.92 though as it depends if the handset is operartor/network branded or not.
