Nokia 6300 In Car Issue

Hi
First post here so go easy on me!
I've juts fitted a THB car kit for my new 6300. All wiring is chekced and double checked but whilst phone charges when in the cradle, it won't work through the kit itself.
Are there some settings that need to be altered on the phone itself that need to be altered to enable it to work through the kit.
Thanks in advance
Jon

The Bury cradle for Nokia 6300 is a bluetooth connection, make sure the blue wire is connected to ignition switch and you have paired the device, try reading the manual.

Nokia 6300 speed dial issue?

Many times when I key in a number (for speed dial), it actually calls the last dialed number. For instance, I've my home number at No. 2, I press 2 and then press call, it calls the last dialed number! I try it again, it works and calls home.
But the first time is always the last dialed no. and not the speed dial number!
Anybody else face this problem?

Tried that too, since thats the legit speed dial method explained in the manual. Same problem - goes to the last called number and not to the assigned number! Waiting for the firmware update in the hope that this may be rectified in that!

URGENT!! Nokia 6300 issue please help

Hi, Basically I turned my Nokia 6300 off the other night and when I turned it back on it starts up as normal, However when I try to put my security code in and press OK it just freezes and wont let me into my phone. I havent forgotten my security code as I have used this code plenty of times so it must be a phone issue. Ive tried various ways for example: putting in a different sim or trying it without the sim or removing the battery etc but the problems the same!! Please can anyone help??
thanks.

Have you tried removing the memory card too?
It sounds like the OS has become corrupted to me. I've had it happen on a 6233.
Unfortunately if this is the case there is no way for the user to recover it from this state. If it can't boot then it can't be reset or have it's firmware reloaded by the user. It can't even be backed up.
Your only option is to take the phone to a nokia care point and they can reload it's firmware. Sadly all of your info, files, programs will be wiped from the phone.

Nokia 6300 - Downloading contacts to In-Car Kenwoo...

I have recently purchased a new vehicle that has a Kenwood entertainment system with integrated bluetooth. The extremely 'useful' manual states that my Nokia 6300's contacts directory can be downloaded to the InCar system by following the cellphone instructions.
However, there is no mention of how to perform a download within the 6300 instruction manual.
Has anybody idea how this can be solved?
Thanks in advance for your assistance...

Nokia 6300 - transferring data to new micro sd car...

I recently purchased a Nokia 6300 and I want to swap the supplied memory card for a 2gb Micro SD card.
I was hoping to just copy and paste the data from the standard card that came with the phone but when I tried this, some of the important applications and data did not copy.
I'm sure there's a simple solution!!
Any ideas please??

PC suite is not the right tool for this job. It's not designed to copy the contents of one card to another.
The easiest way to do it is to use a card reader on a pc. Place the old card in the reader making sure you can see hidden system files and copy it's entire contents to a folder on your computer.
Then place the new card in the reader and select all of your files in the folder that you created and copy them to the new card.

Nokia 6300 Software v. 5.0 issue

Hello, I own a Nokia 6300. After update to v.5.0, I cannot add details to contacts. "Operation unsuccsefull" is the message that appears when trying to do this. Adding new contacts, works fine.
If anyone can help me, I will appreciate.
Thanks.

I don't have a 6300 so am unable to help you with the first part of your query, but as to the 2nd part it is NOT possible to go backwards in terms of versions of firmware, and doing so could possibly damage your phone and is therefore NOT recommended.

Nokia 6300 Poor battery life

I have a new Nokia 6300. It seems to have a very pathetic battery life. It doesn't last a day with nrmal usage and not more than one and a half day with no usage at all. Does any one else have this issue or the problem is specific to my set.

I agree, it's either a faulty phone or battery. You should get at least 2 to 3 full days with very little useage.
I'd visit a care point and get it checked out if I was you.

Spare battery for nokia 6300

i have just bought myself a nokia 6300 knowing the power durability issue (3-4 days vs. 14 days specified by the manufacturer)and i'm wondering if anyone knows if a compatible lihium-polymer battery is available or at least a li-ion battery with more than
820mAh.

Definitely, even using a non Nokia brand compatible battery or copy/clone battery technically voids the warranty. But how are the people at the repair center they going to know unless you walk into the Nokia Care Center with the wrong battery installed in the phone. Also, I have yet to see a phone damaged by using a non-Nokia copy or clone battery. So I wouldn't worry about voiding the warranty. The only thing to worry about is whether it will damage your phone or provide substandard performance.
Although I'm definitely not recommending using non-Nokia batteries in your phone, I would note that I have actually used some pretty good non-original Nokia batteries, that especially I like to use when tethering my phone to a laptop which puts a lot of stress on the battery. I would rather put that kind of stress on a cheap US$11 clone battery than the expensive original Nokia battery. I don't feel bad about wearing out a cheap clone battery quickly. Generally, the original batteries provide a bit longer talk and standby time but they are expensive compared to the copy batteries.

NOKIA 6300 ACCOUSTIC SQUEAL

Hi,
After several incidents of getting a high-pitched squeal from the earpiece of my NOKIA 6300 when making/receiving calls I have taken it to a Nokia Care Centre in Melbourne for assessment and they have replaced the earpiece, which hopefully fixes this SERIOUS FAULT.
I will be closely monitoring the phone for a recurrence of this event as the sound is so loud (as expressed by many unique users of this model in different threads on this website's forum) that it can cause temporary hearing loss and maybe even damage the ears.
Unfortunately NOKIA haven't made any sort of official announcement about this problem in this model and I am seriously considering reporting this to RECALLS AUSTRALIA and CONSUMER AFFAIRS due to the potentially serious nature of this type of fault.

i have had 2 brand new 6300's and both have never had this issue , purchased from O2-UK, i would imagine if this was a known fault nokia would know about it and the NCP would have told you at the time.
hope your new earpiece is workign fine now

Nokia 6300 Text Message Options

I own a Nokia 6300 which was Made in Hungary. It came with firmware revision version 5.00.
I only see 6 options in my Text Message Settings and nothing seems to resolve it. There's supposed to be 10 options. I contacted Nokia care centre and they suggested that I update the software which I did but to no avail.
I purchased my phone SIM free and completely unlocked. No provider touched my phone.
1. Message Centres
2. Msg. Centres in use
3. E-mail Msg. Centres
4. E-mail Centres in use (this option is
greyed out)
5. Use Packet Data
6. Character support
What should be there is:
1 delivery reports
2 message centres
3 msg centre in use
4 e-mail msg. centres
5 e-mail centre in use (greyed)
6 message validity
7 messages sent via
8 use packet data
9 character support
10 rep. via same centre
'Delivery reports, Message Validity, Rep. via same centre and messages sent via' are all missing from mine.
I have reseted my phone on several occasions but it makes no difference in that department. I updated it to 5.50 and still no difference. I'm out of ideas. Can anybody out there suggest anything to me that I haven't already tried ?
Thank you all.

Hello,
I've got the solution!!!
Okay - I spoke to Nokia - who advised me to speak to my SIM card provider (Orange). Orange said - 'This functionality is not supported by Orange on the 6300'.
But there is a way around this.
Borrow one of friends SIM cards (preferably a Vodafone) - insert the card, switch on the phone then go to the messaging menu:
Message Settings > Text Messages > Delivery Reports (set this to yes).
Then switch off the phone, stick your own SIM card back in the phone and switch it on.
If you now go back to the same menu - you will see that, there is no option to set Delivery Reports. However, when you now send a message - it will now indicate when a message is delivered.... JOB DONE :-)

Events in iCal doubled after use of iSync and Nokia 6300

Hi,
I’ve got a problem with the sync though iSync of the Nokia 6300 and iCal on my Mac – a problem which might be related to the imported phoneplugin – but I really don’t think so, as other users doesn't seem to have any problems with this phoneplugin:
http://nokia6300.net/3/isync-and-nokia-6300
The story goes like this:
During sync with iSync somehow over 505 of the events are doubled in both iCal on my PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.4. AND in the calender of Nokia 6300. If I sync three times an event is tripled in both iCal and phone etc. It seems like iCal doen’t want to obey the phone during sync – and I always use the phone as my primary source – as far as I know, anyway. iCal is thus used as a backup.
And there is another curious thing going on:
I’ve created my own calender in iCal. Even though I subscribe to Holidays and Weeknumbers in iCal, they are turn of during sync with iSync. But still they emerge in the calender of my Nokia 6300 after sync. As far as I can see, the setup is correct.
If anyone knows how to deal with these issues, I’d be must greatful, as deleting all these extra events in the phone and iCal after each sync is both rather irritating and terrible time consuming.
PowerBook G4 1.25 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2 GB RAM

OK, I've found the answer. I've used the plugin found here (in my case the one for iSync 2.4):

- and it works wonderful. Nokia 6300, iSync and iCal now plays together like a sweet dream!

Contacts Back Up Nokia 6300 on PC Suite

I am having problems with PC Suite, I don't seem to be alone! I have had a look through some of the previous posts but can't get the following sorted.
I have made a back up of my contacts etc via PC Suite from my Nokia 6300. The problem is viewing the contacts via the file manager. It only shows 3 of the contacts out of over 100. All are saved to the phone not the SIM. I am therefore not able to confirm the back up is accurate, or edit any of the contacts on my PC. The three that are showing I added to this new phone the others are copied to the phone from SIM when I put it in the new phone but as far as I can see they are all stored on the phone in exactly the same way!
It seems to be a bit of a tempramental programme, I didn't have this problem with my Motorola using a different programme.
I am using Window XP SP2, version 6.83.14.1 of PC Suite and have tried conecting via a cable and bluetooth.

No you are not alone... In order to update the firmware to 7.118, I backed up my 6300 using PC Suite and now I cannot anymore restore all of its contents.
The restoration sequencially restores SMS, contacts, and phone settings. In my case the process stops with an error in the middle of my contacts, without resuming execution for the next contact or the phone settings. The failing contact is always the same. This contact has the particularity to have 2 address lines, so it might be that this special case is not supported by the restoration program... this is just speculation from my side, it can be anything else of course.
Anyway the consequence is that I have now half of my contacts and all of the phone settings left behind in the nbu file.
Appreciated the solution mentioned to use Outlook, but this won't save my settings, nor will save specificities of my contacts that are not compatible with Outlook.
Personally I am not sure this is related to this particular phone model (6300), but must be an issue of PC Suite itself (either the backup or the restore program).
Generally speaking backup and restoration should be the most robust (same level of reliability as the OS itself), otherwise we cannot count on them to execute other programs. Thus they must be simple, like copying files and must mainly rely on the OS. In this funny case, running the phone updater has been safer than the safety measures taken!

D'you suppose it might be some sort of virus or probably if it's crash, it might be due to some 3rd party applications that might have been installed on the phone sometime?
Definitely not.
Have you tried updating your phone?
Try updating your phone's firmware by clicking to this link below:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4579163
Make sure you meet the system requirements before proceeding and backup some of your important contents.
If the phone still does not show any improvement, I suggest you to send the phone to the Nokia Care Centre near you. It might need some sort of software reflashing.

Nokia 6300 won't unlock keyguard

Hello i got a nokia 6300 for christmas and i decided to try out the security keyguard. i used the default code 12345 and locked the keypad. my younger brother tried around 20 times to unlock the keypad and now the keypad won't unlock. how do i unlock my phone? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remove the battery for 30sec & put it back & check. If it fails your younger brother might accidentaly changed the default, then a trip to Nokia Care Center for reflash the only option.
