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.

It already officially supports Vista.
I have it running and it works fine.

Nokia 6300 & Alpine Bluetooth Module

Hi all,
I have the Nokia 6300 and just got a new alpine headunit with the bluetooth module for my car.
i've noticed that when the devices pair rather than getting an icon of a car i get a headphone icon on the phone - the music player automatically then starts playing the mp3's on the phone regardless of the source i have chosen on the headunit.
does anyone know how to switch this off as i don't want the phone playing music to itself while sat in my pocket - seems like a waste of battery..
any help is appreciated.
thanks
Craig

I have a 6500 slide and a Motorola Bluetooth in the car. Same problem, when I pair them up, the music player automatically goes on. It's frustrating to turn it off everytime I get in the car.
Is this a software problem or is there a way to make the default "off" rather than "on"?

Nokia 6300 Bluetooth driver for Windows 7

Hey Guys,
Since installing Windows 7 Professional, 32 bit, on my ASUS laptop, it won't let me connect to my Nokia 6300 via bluetooth anymore. It was fine with Vista. I've installed PC Suite - that still connects fine.
However when I go to connect via bluetooth through windows (so I can transfer songs through windows media player, which I have to do for some of them since which won't transfer through Nokia Music Manager), it says driver cannot be found. It then tries to find it to no avail.
I tried going here http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/nokia-6300/software but I don't know how to install the drivers. Where do I save them to? They're inf files and just open up with notepad.
I tried saving them to C:\Windows\inf but it didn't work. When I try to connect it just tries to find the driver manually and won't give me an option to point to that file, only the directory. But still doesn't pick it up and will say that there isn't the right driver.
Any help?

Those .inf files you are talking about are modem drivers only.
You install them if you don't have PC Suite or Ovi Suite installed and you still want to use your phone as a modem for your computer.
To me your problem sounds more like a bluetooth stack incompatibility in your PC.
You have an Asus, so I guess you are running on Toshiba bluetooth.

Nokia 6300 connection to MB bluetooth SAP unit; mi...

Just brought a Bluetooth SAP unit for my MB - and a NOkia 6300 to enable connection; but I cannot make them connect...There is really no information to get out of the Nokia Manual (thanks for nothing...) but in the MB manual it gives information concerning the setup; however it tells me to go to "connectivity", "Bluetooth", "paired options" and next step should be to select "MB telephone" - but the latter never appears as an option - in fact nothing appears as an option at that point....Can anyone help...??
Thanks in advance,
Best regards
per

This is how I add a BT device to my 6300.
setting -> connectivity -> bluetooth
1) Bluetooth on 6300 and the other device is ON/discover mode.
2) 6300: Select paired devices, go to options, select 'Pair new device'; press 'New' and your 6300 BT will search for BT enabled devices around.
3) It will display the list of Bluetooth devices it found. Highlight your device then click 'Pair'. Note that it may ask for passcode. It just means 6300 will have to send a number key and the other BT device must confirm the same number key.

Nokia 6300 Bluetooth Passcode

Hello, I just bought Nokia 6300 & trying to pair my exisint Bluetooth & it's asking passcode, Any idea how to find passcode? My previous phone passcode was 0000. Please let me know if you have any idea how to find passcode. Thanks

...actually the pass code your mobile is asking is for the bluetooth that you are trying to pair with your mobile e.g. bluetooth headset…
...read your bluetooth device manual and I’m very sure that the pass code is written there…Message Edited by joshua_sx1 on 18-Sep-200705:45 AM

Hi, I have a Nokia 6300 v.5.00. My problem is when
I connect my phone using a mini usb cable to the pc, USB Data Cable option on my phone is not highlighted, so I can't use the pc suite mode functions etc. I tried 3 different computers with Windows XP SP3 and 3 different good quality mini usb cables but still to no avail. The options like data mode, nokia pc suite mode still doesn't seem to appear. I also tried different USB slots in these 3 computers still no luck. Can anybody tell me what's the problem? Is there something wrong with IC on my phone or something? What drivers do I need?

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!

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 Reset On Sync

Good Afternoon
Whenever i try to sync my computer in Windows Vista with my Nokia 6300 thru PC Sync 6.86.9 my phone crash and restart's about the 260 Contact, i tried to update PC Sync, phone software and it still do the same. When i erase all the contact list content and resinc the first time it's OK, when i try again it crashes all over. What can y do???

I have the same problem My phone was replaced buy my local nokia dealer for a new one but has the same problem after syncing 80 contacts it freezes up and restarts. I sycn to a *.wab not to an outlook pst, but have tried both i also have tried syncing from phone to PC (only one direccion)to get my contacts (more then 500) on to my PC but I get the same problem.
An interesting fact is that I tried to use an automatic backup system offerd buy my GSM operator (movistar)and it fails all the time. The problem seam to be when an external system tries to read the contact database from the phone.
I have the latest version of nokia suite. 7.0.8.2

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...
