Nokia 6288 not charging

I am having a problem with my 6288 the last few months i have had to mess about with my phone to get it to charge such as lay it on its side, upside down and face down. in some cases having to hold the charger into the phone.
today i put it on charge it began charging for all of two minutes then stopped and i have been unable to charge it ever since.
Any Advice?

i ordered a usb charger for it from play.com £3.99
Then before it arrived my nokia 6288 started playing up with the screen being completely blank, so i turned off the phone and turned it on again to find the screen upside down and now though that seems ok now. my camera no longer works when selected it displays camera on standby. whe i try to view a video the phone resets itself.
I have read on other forums that this is a known problem with nokia 6288's which nokia wont admit to though as i only had mine repaired in december for numerous buttons not working i expected the phone to last longer than 2 months before screwing up again.
I have now decided to give up on the phone which by all accounts is the worst phone i have purchased.
my advice is to do away with the phone and buy a new one because you will only have more and more problems with it.

  • Nokia E72 not charging on pin or USB

    Hi, I am having a charging issue with my Nokia E72 which has the latest software. I have taken it into a Nokia Service centre but they cannot resolve.
    The phone will not charge and when you connect the charger into the small pin socket the phone displays 'not charging' and then 'sim registration failed' and takes about 1 minute to pick the 02 signal up again. I have tried different chargers and currently carrying 3 battery's all the time and charging them in my old E71.
    In addition to this when I listen to music via my parrot in car the music cuts out every 3 seconds as if something is interfering with the Bluetooth connection. However when I plug the phone into the in car charger (and after the above messages and signal loss) this does not happen. Very strange.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    So two months have passed. My phone has been serviced three times since August. It usually worked fine for several hours and was getting broken again.
    During the last service visit my phone had its main board replaced along with the LCD screen and one part of chassis front (there was a tiny scratch and now it's gone  ).
    The device has been working well for 24 hours now. I managed to configure it and upload all data. So now - fingers crossed.
    Gretings!
    M.
    P.S.
    Earlier the service guys did the "digital block tuning" (or sth like that) but it dit not help too much.

  • Nokia N97 not charging

    My Nokia N97 use to be in perfect condition and would charge every time i plug it in. However, lately whenever I plug it in, it charges and then it stops and says "Unplug charger from power supply to save energy" and then it says "Not Charging" and then it charges again and then it doesn't. The light near the charging slot always turn on and off multiple times. I have to play around with the charger and plug it in and out multiple times to get it to work. When it finally starts to charge, it takes extremely long to charge. It used to charge quick but now it take hours. Also, if it is charging, and I accidently touch the phone or the cord, it will immediately stop charging. Then I have to play around with the cord again so it will charge. Please help! What is the problem with my phone and how can I fix it? Thanks so much!

    I have the exact same problem.
    A new charger does not solve the issue.
    The problem also occurs on USB. However, the USB connection is left in place even if it stops charging. And when connected to the charger: the phone does notice the charger is still connected. As soon as I pull the plug it immedieately puts up the notice again that I should unplug it for energy savings.
    So it does know it is connected, but it simply refuses to charge the battery untill you disconnect and reconnect it multiple times.
    This is either:
    1.) A software issue
    2.) A issue with the battery's internal protection.
    I sent a large email to Nokia regarding this issue as this entire N97 is starting to me very angry. Nokia must be laughing very hard about the people paying a ton of money for a product that doesnt even work and will not work for even a year!
    Camera slide problems, unlock slide falling off, C: space running low even if you install everything on E: and now the battery that appears to be dead after less than 8 months.
    And support or warranty service is nowhere to be found, the nearest Care point only helps ppl that have a business contract with them and the other care points are uber far away. And if you want to send your phone: it can take up to a month or more before it will be repaired!
    Great job Nokia.... Your service is extremely bad, and with such a bad service: your phones are way too expensive. You dont care about the clients as soon as they have paid. You dont provide any service at all.
    To topic starter:
    try to charge your phone on USB. If it charges without issues: get a new charger.
    If it gives the same issues: Check your battery or try to find a Care point. Although the care point dont really care about customers.
    -edit- "Foul" language replaced.

  • Nokia C7 not charging over micro-USB?

    Hi,
    Just wanted to check if this was a feature of the phone in that you can only charge the Nokia C7 using the micro-usb socket when it is connected to a PC / Laptop? If you connect it to a USB adapter / car usb socket then it will not charge using this method.......even though my other non Nokia phones charge using this method?
    Is this a hardware limitation or can they enable it with a software fix?

    I don't think it has anything to do with cable length. I do not use the small usb cable that came with Nokia C7. I'm using a compatible usb cable that came with my Kodak camera. Its also is nearly two feet long but am able to charge my phone with it. Am able to say that its charging because the battery indicator cycles as it does with a charger.

  • Nokia 6288 Mains Charger

    I recently purchased a Nokia 6288 whilst in Australia but now wish to purchase a compatible UK Mains Charger now that I am back home. I am looking to purchase a genuine Nokia charger. Does anyone know if the Nokia Travel Charger AC-4X or the Nokia Travel Charger AC-12X are compatible with this phone. What is the difference between these two chargers and are there any voltage issues to be aware of. Many Thanks

    The chargers have different plugs:
    AC-4X -> 2mm
    AC-12X -> 3.5mm
    You have Nokia 6288, so you need AC-4X (2mm plug).
    Both chargers would handle input voltages from 100-240V.

    If you encounter the thing that the Nokia N8 won't charge and worst, if the battery was drained and the N8 shutted down and won't charge or power on, try the following steps.

    2. Wait for the other device (E72) to start charging.
    3. After it starts charging, remove the charger from it (E72).
    4. Now, try to charge the N8 using the supplied charger that you used with the other device previously (E72).
    5. Wait for the N8 to charge or start.

  • Nokia 6288 not detected on the software updater

    Greetings,
    I'm wanting to update my firmware on my phone but not getting this right. I can get my phone connected to the pc to do the backup and all that but when I open the updater it does not detect what phone I'm using... :roll:
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    Regards

    Yeah, the same here! What the hell is going on with Nokia? First I've had Nokia 6280, nothing, couldn't update it, only 6288, and now? Even 6288 doesn't work!!! Why? Do you, Nokia team want to really get rid of all of your clients? I always loved Nokia phones but since few months I'm starting to hate you...I'm sorry...Message Edited by adi2012 on 23-Nov-200701:58 AM

  • Nokia N82 Not Charging

    I recently bought the Nokia N82 black from http://www.compuplus.com/i-Nokia-N82-Unlocked-Quadband-HSDPA-GSM-Phone-Black-1012516~.html?t=nokia+n...
    It was charging the first day I received it.
    Now it won't charge.
    I'm sure the charger isn't broken.
    I think the charger port is broken because it looks even more recessed than before.
    How do I fix this and if I can't manually fix this, can I go to a flagship store and get some assistance from there?

    If you are certain that it's not the charger take it to a nokia care point and they will be able to fix it for you under warranty. Before you do this contact the retailer and ask if they have a repair or returns policy.
    Note: If the phone has been imported from another country then you may not have a valid warranty and will have to pay. The care point will be able to tell from it's serial number.

  • 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,

  • 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 Lumia 2520 Charger

    I bought a Nokia Lumia 2520 Tablet 
    One charger comes in the box. The tablet doesnt charge through usb port (data only).
    There appears to be no chargers on sale (anywhere!) for this tablet. 
    What happens if: 
    The one I have breaks, is faulty, is lost, left at a hotel etc etc etc. 
    I want to charge the tablet in my car
    Where can I get another charger from??? The current situation leaves me in a very precarious situation. If i was to lose my charger - my tablet would be unusable as I would never be able to charge it again - £400 down the drain. 
    Can someone please tell me where I can get a charger from? 

    No guarantees, but found this at Amazon. Right specs, looks like the right connector.  2520 Charger
    Another one  Just chatted with the MS Store and they suggested calling them at 800-642-7676 and see if they can find one. Good luck.  Looks like Verizon and AT&T bailed on them. Might try calling their support, especially if you bought from one of them.
    BTW, be careful. There are tons of chargers that claim to be Lumi 2520 cell phone chargers, etc, that clearly are 5v, i.e. USB, chargers. The 2520 does NOT charge off USB, as you probably know. The two I linked are the proper voltage at least, 20v.
    And there is a thread here that says the Samsung series 7 slate charger works. It is 19v, but that could actually work. If it were me, I think I'd risk the Samsung. Got an actual confirmation from a real guy.
