Nokia 6280 wont pair or isync

Ok I am trying to set up my new nokia 6280 with bluetooth and isync. When I go to bluetooth and select "Set up new device..." It says looking for device, find it then goes to "Gathering infomation about this phone.." and just hangs there.
Normaly I would then get prompted on screen with a pair code and asked to put it into my mobile but it never gets that far.
Anyone got any ideas?
I'm running isync 2.2 the mobile is RM v3.65 the latest from Nokia. I should accouding to the isync page be able to do calendar and address book with the phone as I have been about to with my Nokia 6230 for over a year now.
Any help would be great!
Thank you in advance!

PS. I have also tryed to pair the computer from the phone and it find the mac but then says passcode but I have not set one up? HELP!

Okay got the answer. It turns out it's the bluetooth adapter on your mac that's causing the problem. I had a dodgy USB bluetooth dongle from Indonesia that worked fine with my old Nokia 6600 but didn't work at all with the 6280.
But now I've plugged in a different model bluetooth dongle it works. I found the reasoning behind it here from this discussion here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=454430&tstart=15
Apparently it's some sort of standards conflict.
Good luck getting yours to work Raven!

Nokia 6280 and errors with iSync

I have purchased a nokia 6280 and paired the phone to my mac. I am wanting to sync my address book and calendars from my mac to my phone.
I can send individual cards from Address Book by selecting the card and then going to CARDS>>SEND THIS CARD. When I try to sync using iSync 2.3. I receive the message
[Nokia 6280] Connection to the phone failed.
Please make sure that your phone is turned on. If this error occurs again, please restart your phone.
Device "Nokia 6280" synchronization failed
My phone does not promtp me to accept a connection. Any suggestions?

Hi hobitton,
I have had this problem before and i took it to a nokia service centre, i told them to clean it and also i told them if it was common, they said it was very common and the man said it happens to all the 6280's (mostly), then he cleaned it for me, i think i know how to clean it but i have NEVER cleaned it myself because i don't want to void my precious 24 months warranty but i'll give you some advice, NEVER try to clean this phone even if you had a solution NEVER clean it.

but the thing is that I don't have pc at home
can any body tell me what are some of the ways to tarnsfer music in to my mobile?
I already have the nokia cd that came with the phone when I bought it
is it good idea if I use internet club comupters to tarnsfer music ???
what are some of the steps that I should take ??/
thankx every one

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 - 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!

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?!?

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

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.

My iPad 4 wont pair with my iPhone 5. Why?

My iPad 4 wont pair with my iPhone 5. Why?

What are you trying to do? If you are trying to use your
iPhone to provide internet access for your iPad, does your
wireless provider offer internet tethering and is your account
provisioned for it?
If you are trying to connect using bluetooth, this is not a feature of
iphone, iPad or iOS, never has been.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers,
handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards,
some peer-to-peer apps from the app store and internet
tethering where provided by the carrier.
Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device.

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:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0 /*jibrish should be the nemes*/
N;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE;CHARSET=UTF-8:׳’׳ ׳¢׳“;׳¨׳‘׳™׳ ׳ ;;;
TEL;VOICE:*phone number*
TEL;HOME:*phone number*
TEL;HOME:*phone number*
TEL;HOME:*phone number*
TEL;WORK:*phone number*
END:VCARD
note. *phone number* replaced by me for confidentiallity.

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.
