Nokia 6300 screen fault??

Hi
I bought my Nokia 6300 from eBay and i believe it was shipped to me in the UK from Hong Kong...
It was working fine when I got it..
But about 2 weeks ago, when I was talking on the phone for about 30mins and then after I hung up the call, the screen just went blank and green lines started flickering on it. I then had to take the battery out and put it back in to get it working.
But it doesnt happen all the time, just sometimes when Im on the phone and I hang up, it goes blank...but Ive used it numerous times without it going blank aswell.
It was bought from eBay so doubt its got warranty, however there is a sticker on the back that says 'Nokia Care' and its got a code with it. But is that valid for Hong kong residents only?
Has anyone else had this problem? Any way to fix it??
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Nokia 6300 screen suddenly broke

Yesterday my Nokia 6300 screen broke - weirldy it was doing nothing more than sitting on a table in the shade at the time. It was neither dropped, bashed, dunked in water, shaken violently, microwaved, abducted by aliens nor anything else that might be bad for a mobile phone. I've had the phone for only one month, and tried to fix it by switching it off and on, taking the battery out and putting it back in again. The screen is covered in lines and unusable. Has anyone else had this sort of problem with a 6300 (or similar) mobile phone?

Hello, with my Nokia 6300 (which I love) the screen suddenly went weird, it has horizontal coloured lines on it and screen is orange coloured. It is unusable but every now and then it comes good for a few minutes and is like nothing had happened. It still works fine but I cannot read the screen so is unuseable. I did have it in my pocket at the time but my pants were not tight and I am sure I did not bang or bump it. If it is the screen cracked why would it work fine occasionally. Also our nearest Nokia centre is 3 hours drive away.

Nokia 6300 screen turning black every 10 seconds

I recently replaced the LCD in my 6300 and this is happening, I have reset the phone and done a software update and it is still occuring. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Since you have reset and also updated the firmware and it is still happening, it is probably a hardware issue. Return your phone to the Nokia Care Point which replaced your lcd for them to check it out for you.

Nokia 6300 Broken Screen (can't see a thing) help ...

Hi guys.
I've got a Nokia 6300 and the screen broke the other day and I'm unable to see a thing. I can still use the phone though (blindly of course)
I'd like to transfer my numbers from my phone to my sim and to be able to do this without being to see.
So if someone could help me with shortcuts? I think I can press the menu key, then some numbers (am i right?) rather than up down etc etc.
Any help would be really really appreciated as i'm stuffed without a phone at the moment!
Thanks so much!
Charlie

once in main menu, i cant just go to any sub menu by pressing a number key, i have to use directional pad to go to CONTACTS, in there, press UP, (go to the last selection)it's COPY CONTACTS, an other UP, it's MOVE CONTACTS,
choose either one, once in, you have two option, first: FROM PHONE TO SIM, 2nd: FROM SIM TO PHONE, if u select the first one, it asks : move contacts? press center to answer YES, and wait, it may takes a while, i did with 60 contacts, in about 20 seconds.
by default, in grid mode, the upper center icon is the contacts.

Nokia 6300 - Data Recovery - Please Help !!!

HI....
I had been using the Nokia 6300 for the past 10 months and had encounter no problem at all. But do not know why, suddenly 2 days ago, the phone just suddenly freezed. I tried to turn off and turn on the phone, but I just can't enter into the menu. when the phone is turn on, only see the 'Nokia' wording, then the whole screen is just white and can only see the battery logo. It can't be turn off, need to remove the battery. I haven't back-up my contacts and smses yet, when this happen. Would like to know if anyone can help. I am really desperate now. All the contacts and smses are very important. Is there any way or method, that I can use, so that I can save the datas?
Thank you.

If the phone won't start up, all you can do is take it to a service centre for repair. If your phone is under warranty, then damage caused by something going wrong in software updater is covered as a free repair.

Nokia 6300 - Instant Messaging icon/functionality ...

Hi everybody,
I'm from Canada, and just bought a Nokia 6300 brand new a few days ago. This morning, I went on my phone to change the wallpaper, and for a second, the phone blinked and changed back to the default provider theme. I then changed back the wallpaper, but when I go into the menu, my instant messaging icon is not there anymore. Obviously, restarting the phone didn't solve the problem.
I don't know if anybody got this problem before. I've seen other functionalities missing like Calculator and Email and such, so maybe it's a software fault. Anyone can advise how to fix this problem? Is this a good phone or I just see the problems with it?
My firmware version is 4.71 28/02/2007.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It seems like your phones software has gone a bit corrupted. Please update it with the Nokia Software Updater. This should solve your problem, if not then you need to take the phone to a Nokia Service Center.

Nokia 6300 Battery Discharges too early very fast

I have bought a Nokia 6300 from Karachi Pakistan. The battery discharges very faster than the normal battery discharge time under normal temperature n conditions.
Need solutions as soon as possbile.
EDIT: removed personal informationMessage Edited by mohjo on 20-Apr-2007 08:10 PM

Yeah nj7_ i'm craving for that setting.Unfortunately,brightness adjustment isn't present on Series 40 V3 phones We're still waiting an answer from Nokia.AFAIK,previous series 40 v2 phones had this setting..eg N5140 and N5140i.
Factors that can drain the battery fast on N6300
-16Million colour display
-It uses a BL-4C 820mah(Which is kinda insufficient)
-The screen is very bright

Nokia 6300 Very Big Probleme !!!

Hello !
I have Nokia 6300 V 04.70 - 24-01-07 - RM-217
I Have 2 Big problems :
The first :
When i go To : Menu - Settings - Configuration - Preferred access pt. : it show a screen with random text about vodafone and it reset automaticaly !!!!
The second is :
When i go to Menu - Settings - Configuration - Personal config. sett. - My presence : To activate the Chat Messenger i make all the good configuration, but when i return to Menu i dont find Chat application, it appair for 2 seconds and its removed !!!
Plz help me and give me the code to cleat the wap/gprs seetings to remove the first problem
Thank you

According to my knowledge, Chat option isn't available on newer phones. Not even on my 6233, though it was available on my old 1100. If 6300s of your friends have it, it must be something firmware related. As you have the Live Postcard option, it must be a Vodafone phone. So may be in newer or older firmware versions, the chat option might be available. So check it with your operator. It never is anything Personal Configuration related unless this MESSENGER is a Java app. I think you mean that Chat is a main feature available in your messaging menu, not in a sub menu like Instant Messaging. Hope this helps.

Nokia 6300 firmware wishlist

Hello!
Let's give our suggestions for improving the Nokia 6300's firmware. Post feature requests, bugs and ergonomy issues.
Contact list:
* All the fields of a contact should be searchable (name, surname, phone number etc...)
* The user should be able to hide groups in the contact list, as they are disturbing; in some cases, groups are only used to assign a specific ringtone to its contacts.
* The change of a contact's name should reflect on the Call log and Inbox. Currently, the names displayed in the Inbox and Call log will remain the same, even after a contact's name has been changed in the contact list.

1. when i try to play video clip (@176x144 resolution) on my nokia 6300 in full screen mode there are two white bars on the left & right side of the screen. Means the video doesn't fit to the screen. so please try to remove this problem on the next firmware update.
2. please add brightness control in the next update.
3. please add music player & radio themes.
4. please add full screen web browser in the next update like nokia 5220.
5. please add landscape mode and manual iso settings in the camera.
6. remove maximum 1 mb jar size limitation.
7. increase the video recording quality because its really poor & its a shame for a two mega pixel camera.
8. increase the volume in the music player.
9. add visualization in the music player.
10. Add proxy address and proxy port in the access point settings for opera mini.
