Nokia 6300 signal issue

Often if I lose the signal to my phone it will not find the signal again unless I switch the phone off and then on again. Thus I have to keep checking the screen to see whether I still have a signal. Is this usual?

Hi foxystoat,
Welcome to the Nokia forum.
Reset your phone's settings with *#7780# and default security code 12345 (unless you have changed this code yourself). This should stop the search for music files.
If the above doesn't fix it, try a software update with Nokia Suite or reinstall the current software. You can do this by clicking on the green arrow in Nokia Suite.
As a last resort you can try a hard reset. In combination with the software update this should definitely solve the problem. Do make a back up with Nokia Suite first though, as the device will be cleared completely. Also make sure that when you make the back up, you don't tick the Settings box, as this will backup the bug that's causing the issue in the first place.
Let me know how you get on!

Nokia 6300 - Bluetooth issue in Mazda re: Music Fi...

Whenever I turn on the car engine, the phone does a search on loop for my non-existent music files. This drains the phone battery and makes it impossible to use the phone.
Can anyone help with a solution on how to fix this please?

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.
Care points/service centres and repair info:

Canada • Middle East and Africa

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.
Regards,

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.

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):
http://www.s60themes.co.uk/
- 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!

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.

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.

leave bluetooth and gprs off
Allow the phone to completely discharge before recharging.
When it reaches full, take it off the power. Complete this cycle a few times and you may find that the battery life does increase somewhat. Some people have reported being able to get an extra day or so out of the battery following this procedure.
Turn off the screen saver.
When the screen saver is enabled, the screen stays lit up for quite a while after you have locked the keypad. This drains power needlessly so I recommend you turn this off.
Turn sleep mode off.

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 + vista+ bluetooth

when i first connected my nokia 6300 to my lenovo3000N100 running windows vista basic bundled by the vendor, via bluetooth, it worked, and i managed to download a few grateful dead songs to my phone.
but after that the communication between these two devices via bluetooth has stopped and as soon as i use the nokia pc suite to connect to the nokia6300 via bluetooth a message appears informing that says 'cannot use the connectio n type' etc.
now jerry garcia is dead and nokia,lenovo and microsoft are supposedly world class brands.
so what do i do to make my phone connect to the notebook.

My questions:
Is possible to configure an account to not to be filtered?
Can I do a rule in ORIG_MAIL_ACCESS with the domain (not address)? or there is another option for this?
No.
It's so easy to "spoof" domain names, that it's really of no use to even try that.
One of the real weaknesses of using RBL is that some of them falsly post many domains. There are other issues, including performance.
You may want to have a look at another product to add onto your system, "SpamAssassin". It's free, open-source software that integrates right into your Messaging Server, and eliminates nearly 99% of the spam coming in. It can be configured to do something similar to RBL, use SPF, keep local databases, to WhiteLists, Black:Lists, etc.
