Nokia 6680 - Keypad Light Problem..

Hi can anyone tell me why my keypad light switches itself off while the screen remains bright? Its impossible to text in the dark!

I have often wondered this, mine does exactly the same. I have S/W Vers 4.04.07.
I can only presume that it's some sort of battery saving feature that Nokia have put into the unit. What the unit should do is keep the keypad light lit whilst buttons are still being pressed and then only turn off when no keys are pressed for a certain amount of time.
Any ideas people???

Nokia 6500slide Keypad light problem

I am having a problem with my nokia 6500s, the keypad lights with the numbers on will not switch off unlike the buttons on the top((select etc))
Can anyone give me any help??
Would be really grateful.

Hi
I have the same phone...8 months old..actually it has been in for repairs 3 times..the new one they gave me to replace it is is for repairs as I type this.
My keypad lights go off after a few hours...whatever buttons I press..the keypad lights will not come on. Sometimes the delay is 3 or 4 days..but they eventually don't come on. The only thing that resolves it for a few days/hours is to switch it off and on.
I suggest you take it back to where you bought it.
Hope it helps.

6680 keypad lights,help plzzzzzzz

i just bought a new nokia 6680 and with every other phone i've had when you press the buttons the keypad lights up????!but the keys on my nokia 6680 sometimes light up when i press a button and sometimes dont???????? is this normal

In the upper left corner in the front of the phone there's an ambient light sensor that has an impact on the keypad lights and display brightness.
When the phone is in a bright environment according to the sensor, the keypad doesn't light up unnecessarily.
When it is dark[er], the keypad lights turn on.
Helps conserve battery power.

Hi. I've recently been given a Nokia 6680 which I've had unlocked and started using. I've found that when I plug my charger in the phone indicates it is charging but once I pull the charger out (after various periods of time) it shows up as low battery. I have tried 2 different chargers and 2 different batteries. I am currently using an old nokia phone to charge up a battery to put in the 6680 every day. Help? Am I doing something wrong??
Prior to it being unlocked it charged up no problem.
If you have a new phone you need to keep it on charge for 16 hours. Once the battery is fully charged the charge indicator stops moving which would tell you that the battery is full.

Hi Antonis,
I hope the below can answer your questions:
1- If you are using the Nokia C3-01, then the notification lights is indeed available. You can set it through: Menu>>Settings>>Display>>Notification details>>Set it to Show. At the same time, make sure that the light effects are set to "On". To do so, follow these steps: Menu>>Settings>>Lights>>Lights Effects>>On.
Once you set up the above on the Nokia C3-01, whenever you miss a call or a message, the notification light in the middle will work. It is actually located on the silver colored bar between the green and red buttons for calls. Also, the Nokia C3-01 has a very good battery life. Therefore, it might actually fit your requirements as it is a touch screen phone with a standard keypad for SMS typers such as yourself.
2- As for the E52 and the E72, they are actually both great phones and both of them have the notification lights. You can refer to the previous post for steps on how to set them up. But from personal experience, the light effects on the E52 is actually brighter than any other phone that i have seen. So, since you are also interested in the keyboard of the Nokia E52 for SMS purposes, I think you should go for that one.
3- However, as far as Blackberry is concerned, I would recommend you to contact them directly for any details or help on their phone's features.
In conclusion, if you wish to have a simple "Old Fashioned" but sophisticated phone, I would recommend you to go for the Nokia C3-01. However, if you wish to have a smartphone with all the above features that you require, then the E52 would be a great choice as well. All in all, the decision is in your hand

N85 keypad light problem

My n85 numerical keypad approximately 5 seconds after the light is off, the buttons on top of the light is on normally, pressing the numeric keys the light side still does not open when you on/off keylock or slide open and close keypad light back normal(on)

it is most probably a bug in the firmware, the only solution to this issue would be to wait for a release of another fimware hoping that this might get solved, tho it does not have to. i had issues with the keypad on the frist firmware but that got fixed since v11....was released

Nokia 6680 Keypad lock

I have to say having read all the other problems people are having I have not suffered yet, and am a heavy users.
However my only issue is the keypad lock. Am I just being daft or does the 6680 not have an auto keypad lock, only the manual one. I have made NUMEROUS pocket dialled calls, and it is reaching the stage of wanting rid of the phone.
Terrible let down for such a great handset.
I also use a 6230 which obviously does not have this problem.
Is there a software update rectifying this, or any plan to ?

It has a built-in automatic security lock, which requires a code to unlock it.
It doesn't have a built-in automatic, timed keypad lock that operates like the manual lock.
However, there are several (free) autolocking applications you could choose from. Here are two:
AutoLock: http://www.my-symbian.com/7650/applications/applications.php?fldAuto=826&faq=2
JJLKeyLock: http://www.my-symbian.com/7650/applications/applications.php?fldAuto=650&faq=2
You can download them to your PC and install on the phone using, e.g., PC Suite (http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite) and its "Application Installer".
TIP: In my Contacts I have as the first entry a contact named just "1" with no numbers at all. I discovered that if I forget to lock the keypad, the pocket calls seemed to always go to the first entry in Contacts, and this has saved one of my friends from a lot of unnecessary calls.Message Edited by petrib on 19-Nov-2005

Nokia 6110 keypad light won't turn off

Last night I noticed that on the font keypad of my 6110 the light under the Red hang up key, C and navigator key would not turn off even when I turn the phone off.
I did a software update today but that didn't fix it.
What could be causing it?
I'll probably send it of to get fixed but it will take 3 weeks.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Nokia 6680 Memory Card problem

I brought an RS DV 512mb card from mobymemory.com and it worked fine for a while but gradually my phone memory decreased and i only have 128kb of phone memory left. This means i cant recieve messages, enter or edit a new contact, change display pic or log missed calls.
Please help it is intensley annoying!

That shouldn't be due to the memory card (what gets written on the memory card has no influence on the phone memory), but must be something else that's been stored on the phone memory, instead (music, photos, videos, ringtones, installed software applications, or something).

Strange problems with pc suite with nokia 6680

i'd had installed pc suite v6.7 on windows xp sp2 with all new adds from microsoft update(from a total succesuful uninstall with post addition of running nokia suite cleaner 3.1).
installation was perfect OK. I am using DKU2 cable
the suite recognize and install the correct drivers and the status was that "nokia 6680 was connected via USB"
all it seems ok and also nokia pc suite sais that the phone is connected but if you try to launch any application or to browse the phone with phone browser it goes to error (impossible to complete operation")
in my opinion there is something left or bad installed on the phone on previous attempt (probably the PC suite support application) because i was no asked of any confirm on the phone in the connection phase. In the c:/system dir on the phone infact there is a suiteconf.xml file related i think to that app.
IF it is the problem cause Please indicate how to clean the phone or how to install (even manually the correct app). ù
thanks

Do you mean that you cannot open any applicaiton in PC Suite ? (Backup, Sync, Application installer, Connect to Internet and all those ?) None of them won't even open up ? If that is the case, the installation has not succeeded and it does not relate to the SIS package that was installed during previous installations of PC Suite. Please indicate can you get any of the Nokia PC Suite applications to work (excluding the applications that are built in to Windows Explorer) then it is easier to try to figure out what is wrong.

I know what is the problem of "Nokia 5500" Keypad!...

I have shown the glue of its keypad to some experts. All of them said that its glue is weak against temperature and I understood that My Nokia 5500 Keypad is unglued because of my pocket temperature.

Nice one, my friends had that problem aswell, thanks for the post

Problem with firmware nokia 6680

I'm italian and I don't speak very well english, but I try it :-P
I have two nokia 6680, today i try to upgrade my firmware ...
first phone all ok, nokia updater download the lastet firmware italian and istall it and all ok
in the second nokia upgrade download ENGLISH firmware (all work but I'm italian)
In wich mode I update my second phone with nokia italian firmware ??
Excusme for my English !!!
Thank's to all

jjegen seems to have differently than I. From what I see, tapping on the dialler and contacts on homescreen does nothing?
Your phone settings have had trouble. I would suggest restoring factory settings.
Go to MainMenu>green button>you will see the dialler. Type in *#7780# and enter your security code.
If that does not work:
Soft reset is *#7370# - this deletes all data on phone memory so make sure you have a backup.
OR
A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
2.) Reinsert battery
3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.

Urgent Advice Nokia 6680

Hi. I need a big help. I own a Nokia 6680 that has lasted me for five years until yesterday. I usually maintain a four digit numeric password to access my cell whenever it is turned on. The digits are 2300. Once the password is entered then I will be have full access to use all the functions of the cell. Now the problem is that, the key pad number for Number 2 is not working! All other key pads are working. I took it to the local Nokia Care showroom where they say the problem is not the keypad but the board itself. I think they said the mother board is no longer working. However, if the motherboard is not working, then none of the keypads should work. Everything is working except for keypad Number 2. The Nokia Care persons tried replacing the keypad but still nothing worked. I am happy the 6680 has lasted me all these years, but the problem now is that I have more than 600 contact details on the phone memory that I am not able to access. Is there a WAY to break the password? Any software or device? Once the password is broken, then I can access the cell. Every few months I backup the phone memory details on the memory card but without accessing it on this cell, I am not able to retrieve it. That is the miserable part. I was told there is a software known as Noki Crack. Does this work? Or is there a simpler way? Please advice. Thank you.

Okey, I understand. Only a Nokia care point can fixe this for you as this is related to hw issue with your keyboard.

N95 + keypad light + battery

I dont know my fone is problem or not thus I post it here. My n95 every thing is fine. However, when the battery indicator shows 1 line only, it means may have the notification "low battery", the keypad light some times doesn't work. I mean if I slide up the fone (or slide down), the light which make keypad brighter doesnt turn on. At the beginning, I thought my be the light is faulty, then I tried to make call to my fone, then I can see the key pad light flashing as normal. If my fone is full of battery, the key pad light of course always on if I slide up/down the fone. It only doesn't on if the battery is low (may be on but for few seconds, then off) . I'm wonderring because I dont think the software smart enough to do that saving.
Any one can check it for me? because can't find any around me use N95 to make sure.
Thx

You can adjust the light sensitivity so that the screen & keypads brightness alters accordingly to the environment it is in.
Tools> Settings> General> Personalisation> Display>
Light Sensor. I have mine set in the middle of the slider bar so its not too bright in a dark place, yet bright enough outdoors. Its also a fairly good setting for battery life.
