From Wiki:
With the latest firmware version (currently 06.60, not available for some local models such as North American) Nokia 6300 is capable of smoothly playing MPEG-4 (*.mp4) files with a QCIF resolution (176*144) and a frame rate of up to 25 frames per second. The phone allows the user to view the video clips in full-screen landscape mode and set the fast-forward/rewind interval from a few seconds to minutes. Improved audio quality for music playback was also noted for this firmware version, thus making the Nokia 6300 a music phone similar to it's counterparts, the Nokia XpressMusic. In addition, video clips can replace ringtones so that an actual motion picture is shown while there is an incoming call.

Nokia 6300 reboots while syncing contacts

Hello,
At first let me make 3 points clear:
- I use the last version of my phone firmware
- I use the last version of PC Suite
- Syncing was perfectly working until then.
This is what happens now:
I have 305 contacts in Outlook, which used to sync seemlessly with my Nokia 6300... until recently. Since 2 days ago, the sync triggers a phone re-init at the 224th contact. I've tried several times and this is always where the sync process fails. All calendar and notes sync flawlessly, and I could do a phone backup.
Any idea as to what I can do?

I had a similar problem when I first tried to use PC Suite after upgrading to a 6300. The phone was switching off after I got to 119 of my 162 contacts.
The answer seems to be that you need to 'tidy up' any contact information you transferred from another phone or have updated. Its a bit laboroius but it worked for me.
Edit each of the contacts deleting those that contain no information and remove any spurious characters or symbols that may have appeared.
I did this and can now get PC suite to read all my contacts.

Nokia 6300 5.50 6.01

After update phone i slower than before, slower access to microSD card and slower menu showing. When will be backlight control (time and sesitive) possible?

Hello,
I have updated my phone (Nokia 6300) from 5.50 to 6.01 using the updating software I have downloaded from Nokia's web site. Everything went well. No errors. Everything went by the book.
The reason I have upgraded is that I want to be able to play the movies at 25 fps (in 6.01) instead of 15 fps (in 5.50). The accepted resolution of the movie still does not fit the entire screen though. I guess there was a miss-calculation of harware resources when the phone was designed (or maybe I'm wrong...they know better).
The problem is that after the upgrade, when somebody is calling me I cannot see the name of the person displayed on the screen (persons already registered in my agenda). I am seeing the number only.
Unless I have called first the person in my agenda (and that particular person from my agenda has called me first), I can see only the number in the missed calls list, but not the name.
I have tried to write the contacts again from the backup. I have tried to edit the numbers in international format (instead of 072xxxxxxx, I have put +4072xxxxxxx). Nothing works. This is very frustrating since my agenda has almost no value now. I don't know who is calling me. Other people on different forums have reported this software BUG, but I see nobody has complained on this particular forum. I hope the engineers from Nokia will repair this very soon (I mean VERY!). Lucky for me I have some very cheap Chinese mobile phone as a backup until Nokia solves the problem. At least on that one I can see who is calling me. Also the battery lasts at least twice as long compared with the Nokia 6300 (BL-4C battery) one, but I guess it is fair comparing the features and the power consumption for each of them.
The speed of the card access and the menu seems a little bit slower to me also. But this is nothing compared with the BUG I have mentioned above.
Thank you for attention!

Nokia 6300 with 4gb mSD card

I have upgraded the phone with an Apacer micro SD 4gb card and the card doesnt register with the phone.
Do I need to format it, in the phone? If so, how?
Do I need to update the firmware on the phone to handle the 4gb? If so, how?

Nokia 6300 supports up to 2 gb msd cards.

Nokia 6300 high pitched whistling feedback noise d...

I am now on my fourth Nokia 6300 having returned the previous three because of the same high pitched whistling or feedback noise during a call. I have also tried updating my SIM card (a genius at Vodafone came up with that idea) and still the same problem.
I know of a couple of people with the same phone and no problems, so I can only suppose it is something to do with the Vodafone software.
I would be happy to try updating or re-loading the software but cannot find it anywhere?
I really like everything else about this phone so any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

I also recently upgraded my wonderful 6233 with a 6300. The ear-piece of the first one I got produced a constant buzz during calls. Returned it, got a new one on the spot. After a few days, I started having complaints about my audio at the other end; the symptom was a very high noise level (coming from my end) together with echo (the caller would hear their voice echoed back). I had also started noticing a distorted low-level replica of my own voice present at the ear-piece. The first thing that came to mind was "oh no, another replacement!". Being a bit of an inquisitive mind though, I decided to debug this a bid further. So I browsed the web, and among other things came across this thread. The turning point was correlating the problem with reports of Bluetooth incompatibility from various users right and left; as it turns out, the 6300 appears to have a serious Bluetooth "problem". To make a long story short, the situation is as follows. After the phone is turned on, all is well: audio at the other end is perfect (no noise, no echo). Then I turn on my Motorola H700 head-set. Call the phone from a land-line, and yes, the noise level is high as hell; the mic gain is turned up so much that you can whisper a couple of meters away and hear yourself just fine on the other end! Here comes the catch: turn off the Bluetooth head-set, and surprise-surprise, the problem is still there with the built-in mic; turning off and on the phone cures it. But wait, this doesn't happen always. Sometimes the mic level goes back to what it was before, and the phone is working fine once more, without power-cycling.
That's more or less it; I hope it rings a bell with someone reading these lines, and hopefully it gets fixed in a future firmware revision. In the meantime, I need a new Bluetooth head-set...

How can I delete an E-Mail account in Nokia 6300

I have setup an E-Mail account (e.g Gmail) on my Nokia 6300. I would like to delete this account which is no longer needed. I couldn’t find any delete option there. Before Nokia 6300, I have used Nokia E-50. It has a very simple option in Connect folder to delete or manage these E-mail accounts. Waiting for you response.

Simply enter the configurations menu from settings, go to personal config and the account should be listed there, select options and delete.

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 :-)

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.

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.

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!

Nokia 6300 error message when trying to connect to...

Hello
I have owned a Nokia 6300 for several months and have been successfully backing up my phone book data etc via the PC Suite.
However I have attempted to connect recently and the software does not recognise the phone stating:
"There is a problem installing this hardware: Nokia 6300. An error occurred during the installation of the device. The name is already in use either as a service name or a service display name."
I have uninstalled the PC Suite but still get the same error.
I would be very grateful if anyone could assist please. Thanks
Dave

If you are getting this kind of error:
"An error occurred in the installation of this device. The name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name."
Try this (instructions are closely based on Microsoft's similar instructions for some modems):
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
3. In Device Manager, expand Wireless Communication Devices, uninstall all items related to your phone.
4. Close Device Manager.
5. Uninstall PC Suite AND PC Connectivity Solution AND especially Nokia USB drivers
6. Click Start, click Run, type msconfig, and then click OK.
7. On the General tab, click Diagnostic Startup - load basic devices and services only.
8. Restart your computer.
9. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
10. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services, and then look for registry
entries specific to your phone. In practise search for "Nokia" and delete all keys
where there are values something like "Nokia USB...".
Under same key there is path to some driver file, typically pointing to (C:\Windows\) system32/Drivers/nmw???.sys
Delete also those files from Drivers folder.
11. Click Start, click Run, type msconfig, and then click OK.
12. Click the Services tab, and then click to select each service check box.
13. Restart your computer.
14. Install PC Suite (including Connectivity Solution and USB drivers)
15. Plug your phone - now Windows should found and install your drivers normally.
Remember: Use these instructions at Your Own Risk!
