Nokia 6288 dead!

Hi,
My Nokia 6288 mobile phone has all of a sudden would freeze, immediately after it has been switched on. This began to happen after it played a song, and everything froze so I simply resetted it and now it remains frozen everytime I restart the phone. What has happened?! Do I need a new phone? I have a lot of precious messages in there =P
Thanks in advance!

The only thing I can think of is to do a hard reset but the problem is that it might delete your contacts which is what seems to be most important to you. I suggest you take it back to a nokia care point or where you bought it for repairs

  • Nokia 6288 doesn't retain settings after reboot

    Hi, i've a problem with a Nokia 6288 that after each reboot
    does not retain settings regarding "Normal" profile and background. If i turn off the phone, when i turn it back on it reverts to blank backround and "nokia tune" ringtone and all other settings to default.
    I already tried to reset it to factory default but had no luck.
    Also tried reflashing firmware with nokia software updater but the problem still remains.
    There is a way for "hard resetting" it to factory default?
    Regards

    A nokia care point can hard reset a series 40 phone, you cannot do it yourself. They will also be able to fix your problem.

  • Connection to a nokia 6288

    Hello,
    This is not exactly a question about iSync but there are other nokia-problems here, so I give it a go:
    I just bought a nokia 6288, but I can't connect it to my iMac G5 (no bluetooth) with the usb-cable , (with bluetooth to a mpb works fine).
    With another phone (the nokia 5300) it works perfectly on usb.
    It seems I do not have the privileges of changing the files (read-only).
    I have read the posts about connecting it to iSync (the trick with the 6280), that works now, but I want to exchange .mp3 and so.
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thnx, Pleesed greetings a mac member in need.
    iMac G5 + Macbook pro (C2D 2,16Ghz)   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    after asking me to accept the connection to my pda my mobile simply then tells me it is disconnecting from the PDA afetr about 20 seconds with no error message on the phone. The PDA just tells me it can't connect!.
    I am aware that there may be issues with my specific pda and this particular Nokia phone, but is is difficult to understand what needs to be done.
    Thanks

  • Nokia 6288 - white screen with battery icon

    I've had problems with my Nokia 6288 since very soon after I bought it.
    I turn my phone on and it just has a white screen with the battery icon. I can punch numbers into the keypad to call out, but I cannot do anything else.
    Any idea how to reset the phone or anything that might help me be able to use my phone again?

    does it say "phone restricted"? if it does, it is a matter of either updating to the latest firmware via Nokia Software Updater, or just take out your battery and reinsert it and turn the phone back on. i too had similar problem as to what you are describing.

  • Nokia 6288 Please help urgently

    I'm living in Australia but I'm german speaking. Now I bought that new nokia 6288 and I would like to change the languages into german. Where do I get the software? Who can help me?

    I think a Nokia Service Centre can do it...but you will have to pay.

  • Nokia 6288 white screen

    ok, i just called my mum, then 20 minutes later i looked at my phone at the screen went totally white. Its done this a few times before and fixed itself after 30 secs. Although this time it didnt.It is completely white!. everytime i switch it on there is just a white screen, flashes for a bit and turns itself off, so i cant actualy get on it!
    does anyone know hoe to restore factory settings without going onto the phone?!
    this is the second time ive had trouble with this phone. its ridiculous

    Hey,
    There has been a massive number of Nokia 6288's with this problem or similar in that the screen was flashing white, the problem was so large we were considering the flashing white screen as a sellin point !
    Any handsets we've had with this issue just needed a software upgrade, you can do this yourself through the Nokia download and support service or by dropping it to a Nokia Service Centre or back to the place of purchase where they phone may be sent for software upgrading which generally takes 5-7 working days.
    Hopefully Helpful,

  • Nokia 6288 Contacts Sync Issue

    Hi Everybody,
    Just got the latest PC Suite software + Outlook 2003 sync nicely to my Nokia 6288. But one issue i found is that i'll get an extra "space" in the phone between the Fast and Last Name, ie:
    My Outlook contact reads
    John Smith
    My Phone reads
    John Smith
    Anyone has experience this? TaTa!

    The contacts must be somewhere though, as when I enter the number manually and dial, the contact's name comes up!
    Any help would be appreciated,

    Have you checked if the missing names are duplicated ?

    You must have a valid email as your apple user name.   Log on to iTunes on the computer and fix your information in the account info.
    Then you can fix the accounts on the device.

  • I need help for NOKIA 6288 please

    hy!
    i got my nokia 6288 recently. does anyone knows how to hide that irritant BACK and STOP signs when you watch videos full screen on it?
    thanx, Vox
    p.s. sorry if i posted this in wrong topic cause i am new here!=)
    Edit/Delete Message

    No, just tried it. They're obviously there so users know how to stop the playback or return to horizontal screen mode, but it's not the best design with the words overlapping the video-clip. There are no other options available whilst playing videos in full screen mode.

  • Connectivity of Nokia 6288

    I am having problems connecting my mobile Nokia 6288 to my laptop even having downloaded the required drivers, please advise

    I have had my PC and phone connection through USB and have been advised that either my phone has a intermittent connection or that my USB (Supplied by Nokia) is defectiv
    What is my recourse, I have spent a substantial amount or my personnal monies to resolve what I believe was and still is an inherent problem between my Phone.USB connector and my PC.
    I have however been able to dianose that he error is not my PC and not my USB as a colleague of mine with the same phone Nokia has downloaded Photo images off my phone on to my PC
    I have been a regular user of Motorola for many years and was advised after moving to Spain that I undertake a Nokia option through contract network for myself, my wife and daughter.
    I am extremely dissapointed and respectfully request your advise and course of progress to resolve my ongoind dillema.
    I have been attempting to download photo images off m phone now for 3 months to no avail
    Please address this customer concern with the utmost of urgency as if not I shall withdraw 3 contract phones away from Vodaphone and change all our phones to an alternative choice other than Nokia.

  • Nokia 6288 Exif data not captured

    Bummer! We just bought 2 nokia 6288 phones and come to find out that the Exif data: Date Picture Taken is not captured. Is there a firmware update or something I can download? I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. My firmware version is 05.92 07-09-06 RM-78
    I've had several different digital cameras and they all store the date the picture was taken. This can be very useful since file create/modification date aren't always reliable. I also have some php scripts I use to post my pictures on a web site, and they make use of the Exif date the picture was taken.
    The following definition for Exif does say that that the data may include (then the list). Note that the date/time the picture was taken is normally considered the most important element (I think). Anyway, is there some way to get around this??? Any clues appreciated!
    Quote:
    EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. It was developed by the Japanese Electronics Industry Development Association (JEIDA) in an effort to simplify and standardize the exchange of data between imaging devices and software. Exif is a variation of JPEG, used by almost all digital cameras to record extra interchange information to image files as they are taken. The type of information stored in a file varies by camera model, but it can include such things as date and time a photo was taken, resolution, camera settings used for the shot, amount of compression applied, color information, whether or not the flash was fired, shutter speed, name of the camera owner, and so on.
    The only Exif fields I see being captured are Camera Model.

    Hi,
    There is a new firmware update available for this model - V6.10.
    But I am not sure about the improvements in this new release for this particular issue. Please contact ur nearest Nokia authorized service center, in case if u need a firmware update.
    cheers,

  • Recover deleted sms from Nokia 6288

    Is there any way to recover a deleted sms from a Nokia 6288, i´ve heard of third party software to undelete sms that are removed, but is that possible at all?
    Where is the sms inbox stored in the first place on this phone, on sim-card och in phone-memory. And is there any way to change this and store it on memorycard??
    All answers appreciated

    It really depends where you set up your sms, phone or extrenal memory. I know of a third party software could undelete files(incl. sms) on mem card but on phone memory I haven't seen one.
    sms txt messages is somewhat the same as email messages its not an individual files but inside a dbase type of files where it is located, you have to open the dbase file first before you can see each individual messages or email.Message Edited by android on 27-Oct-200701:45 PM
