Just to reiterate what it says on that web page: adding an SLR lens to your 6280 will invalidate your warranty, and you probably shouldn't be doing it.

  • Nokia 6280 wont pair or isync

    Ok I am trying to set up my new nokia 6280 with bluetooth and isync. When I go to bluetooth and select "Set up new device..." It says looking for device, find it then goes to "Gathering infomation about this phone.." and just hangs there.
    Normaly I would then get prompted on screen with a pair code and asked to put it into my mobile but it never gets that far.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    I'm running isync 2.2 the mobile is RM v3.65 the latest from Nokia. I should accouding to the isync page be able to do calendar and address book with the phone as I have been about to with my Nokia 6230 for over a year now.
    Any help would be great!
    Thank you in advance!

    PS. I have also tryed to pair the computer from the phone and it find the mac but then says passcode but I have not set one up? HELP!
    G4 Quicksilver   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Dlink bluetooth adapter

    Okay got the answer. It turns out it's the bluetooth adapter on your mac that's causing the problem. I had a dodgy USB bluetooth dongle from Indonesia that worked fine with my old Nokia 6600 but didn't work at all with the 6280.
    But now I've plugged in a different model bluetooth dongle it works. I found the reasoning behind it here from this discussion here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=454430&tstart=15
    Apparently it's some sort of standards conflict.
    Good luck getting yours to work Raven!

  • Nokia 6280 problems (resetting), especially on '3'...

    As per the request of a moderator (Karim) at the end of a different thread about the Nokia 6280, I am beginning a new thread here about the Nokia 6280 and problems people are encountering with it.
    I was upgraded by my network operator '3' onto the Nokia 6280 phone, which arrived on Thursday 9th February 2006. This is a '3-branded' variant of the standard Nokia 6280, with a 3 logo on the front and back, and some 3-specific features in the software.
    The phone looks great, and there are many good things about it, but there are some very weird bugs in the software:
    - The phone often resets itself (goes black, fast restarts) when changing profiles e.g. from 'General' to 'Silent'
    - When trying to change tones, the system seems to 'hang' after which no sound is produced from the phone OS (e.g. button presses, tone noises) until a hard reset is done
    - Various other bugs (not discovered by me, but mentioned by others in the previous thread) including text messages being interrupted half-way through, PIN request not being actioned even though activated, and media player issues.
    My phone revision information is as follows:
    Nokia 6280
    V 03.36
    05-12-05
    RM-78
    (c) Nokia
    Language:
    V 03.36
    05-12-05
    RM-78
    (c) Nokia
    C
    I am wondering about the following:
    - Does this phone support firmware updating?
    - If so, will Nokia provide a standard firmware update, or as my phone is a '3-variant' will I have to rely on 3 putting out a firmware update
    - Has anybody got any suggestions of how to proceed with this - I am within my 7 day return period, so could return it, but then I'd be without a phone and I'd prefer to keep the phone and have it fixed!
    Anyone else with these issues, please join the thread, for clarity I suggest people include what network their phone is on, and the firmware revision of the phone. This can be discovered by tapping *#0000# on their phone.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I upgraded my phone from 6630 to 6280 with 3 Network, three weeks ago. This is my third phone, and it's the same problem all over. After I transfer all my contacts and pictures etc via bluetooth, I tend to have a play around getting use to the new phone and without any warning the phone would just switch off. It would never switch on again. I tried recharging and leaving it overnight, nothing. Exactly the same thing happen to phone no.2 and no.3. Always when I just finished transferring contact details and pictures. I can't get it to switch on again. I am in the process of returning the 3rd 6280. I think I wouldn't bother with it.
    I originally asked for N70, and 3 keep telling me that they don't have it in stock. The other options they have given me are Motorola V3X and LG 8330 which I'm not keen on really as I would prefer a Nokia phone.
    Is this a known fault with 6280?. I will keep pressing 3 to give me the N70 or else. I am to the point of not bothering and just keep with my 6630.
    Has anyone had the same problem?

  • Ridiculous on Nokia not support 6280 with NSU! An...

    As the First sliding phone from Nokia, 6280, it seems to be a shame for Nokia support on this phone. By this moment, NSU still kick 6280 out of the supported list. Why?
    As an owner of 6280 phone, we need an answer and your schedule! It is very ridiculous that its sister phone 6288 has been supported for several months. Why? Let us guess a possible answer:
    1. Is it a technical reason? 6288 and 6280 are 99% similar. The remained 1% may be the secret from Nokia Support. Maybe 6280 is just prototype of 6288 and Nokia was still not ready to sell this design yet even this phone was delayed for 9 months. Maybe it was shame on Nokia to delay this annouced product for 1 year and so she started to sell this product to fool its buyers.
    - If it is true, it is a shame for Nokia still sell 6280 currently to fool its customer.
    2. Is it a problem for too many variant software version among different service provider? As a big firm as Nokia, i don't think she cannot forsee this issue. Each service provider has its own version, then Nokia Repair Center needs to handle all those versions. By multipling the phone and software version, wowo, did Nokia hopes her centers filled with crowds everyday?! Maybe she wants it to show its popularity. Or Maybe Nokia got money from service provider for licence fee and ignore her customers.
    - If it is true, I can tell you Nokia, your Nokia Support Center is one of worst center for electronic devices. Queued for hours to get in front of the counters, waited for hours / days to get repair, and queued for another hours to collect the phone...
    I don't want to guess more. Nokia please provide us, the owners of 6280, a reason and schedule.
    BTW, i have found that another Nokia sliding phone E65 was still not supported in NSU yet. Will it be next "6280"?

  • A short movie I made with NOKIA 6280 (+edit)

    Although I'm devoted to my HV20, this is a short video which i made for a course, in which i dropped my NOKIA 6280 from the roof (5th floor), and made it like someone is gonna jump with the cell-phone.

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:

    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

    which costs $25.

    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.

  • Nokia 6280 and errors with iSync

    I have purchased a nokia 6280 and paired the phone to my mac. I am wanting to sync my address book and calendars from my mac to my phone.
    I can send individual cards from Address Book by selecting the card and then going to CARDS>>SEND THIS CARD. When I try to sync using iSync 2.3. I receive the message
    [Nokia 6280] Connection to the phone failed.
    Please make sure that your phone is turned on. If this error occurs again, please restart your phone.

    Hi hobitton,
    I have had this problem before and i took it to a nokia service centre, i told them to clean it and also i told them if it was common, they said it was very common and the man said it happens to all the 6280's (mostly), then he cleaned it for me, i think i know how to clean it but i have NEVER cleaned it myself because i don't want to void my precious 24 months warranty but i'll give you some advice, NEVER try to clean this phone even if you had a solution NEVER clean it.

  • Firmware upgrade for Nokia 6280

    I would like to know do we have firmware upgrade for Nokia 6280 as my present one is 3.65 and would like to upgrade it to 5.92 and I am in India
    Could you please help me out.

    updating to new firmware depends on product code which represents your region of purchasing, language pack and if it's branded or not .... so NOKIA releases firmwares and release it for every product code depending on mentioned points
    you can check for updates @ :
    http://mea.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
    To find what the latest available device software is, you’ll need your device’s product code. The code is printed on the white label beneath the battery (e.g. CODE: 0520001).
    if your phone is branded with an operator, that means that you should go to the operator care center and ask them, not NOKIA
    some updates delay in some countries variant product code, as it requires more effort to add language pack to it like "example. China Japan Korea" or it needs the country to approve it due to its policy
    -you can show appreciation to my posts if it helped or useful by pressing the green Kudo star beside my post that hepled

  • Nokia 6280 failure restoring contact list using pc...

    Hello,
    I own a Nokia 6280. Firmware - v3.81
    OS: Win XP.
    I took the phone to my local phone provider(partner orange, from which I bought the device) to update the phones version. This action has deleted my entire contact list.
    Beforehand I made a backup using the pc suite back up feature, and the backup went smoothly. Now, when I try to restore my info using the restore function in the backup(content copier),it restores everything except the contact list. Somewhat in the middle of the resotration of the contact list, an error jumps saying the connection to the phone has been list. A few seconds later the connection restores automatically.
    I tried solving the problem using this thread:
    http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=pcsuite&message.id=7746&view=...
    But it didnt quite work
    What can I do to solve this problem? How can I restore my contacts?
    And if not, Is there a way to convert the Backup NBU file into Outlook VCF format?
    Best regards,
    Uri

    I've got my entire contact list on the backup file.
    except notepad can't disipher the the names into english, and so cant hexedit's of their sort.
    Example from the notepad of the backup file:
    BEGIN:VCARD

    What kind of main menu view have you chosen? I have the same problem with my 6280 (v3.81) when I choose Tab view. Try to open the menu, go to the options -> main menu view and set it to List, for example. I have also created my own themes with Nokia Theme Studio (avaliable on www.forum.nokia.com) and I haven't found the way to remove that blue background in tab view... Regards, dHeaven
