Problems with Nokia 6070 and CA-42 cable

Hi I have Nokia 6070, CA-42 cable, downloaded newest Nokia PC Suite (6.82), but I still have problems with connection. When I plug cable into the phone, it say : Data enhancement connected, and then Enhancement not supported. I properly installed Nokia PC Suite, but I still don´t have connection, because PC can´t recognise my phone. I tried many advices written here on discussion, like repairing cable drivers, re-installing PC Suite, restarting PC, but nothing works. Could you give me advice ?. Further informations in attached screenshot. http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/1193/nokia3in.jpg regards Viliam Tomaníček, Slovakia

Ok guys let's see if this helps... the problem is NOT Nokia PC Suite, the USB to Nokia Enhancement connector ie; the CA-42 data cable, your cell phone or your computer.
It's in your computer' settings... The answer to this problem with this particular cable is actually in the Nokia PC Suite "Help". It's under "Configuring connection types" They refer to it by name.
Unfortunately, (1) you kinda have to stumble into it... thank goodness I did and,   (2) you kinda have to be a bit of a computer geek to understand what they are trying to say...
The point is that they are basically tricking the computer to "see" the USB cable as a 9 or 25 pin serial DIN cable connection that would normally go into the COM1 or COM2 ports, which are still on the back of some PCs, but not available on modern laptops anymore.
My PC is Windows XP Service Pack 3. I will describe what I had to do to get the cable to work. Vista and Windows 7 users… just follow the principle.
You need to (1) configure Nokia PC Suite as well as (2) your PC/Laptop (in Control Panel) to "see" the USB connection as - COM3... here's how I did it for my PC.
Step - 1: Install the CA-42 Cable Drivers first using the install CD that was provided with the cable using "Found New Hardware" remember this is the XP experience...
Some preamble - I thought that installing the Nokia PC Suite does all the cable driver bits as well, but it looks like you actually have to install the cable drivers (Note – cable drivers first) and then the Nokia PC Suite app software separately. I got a “file not found error - ser2pl.sys” installing Nokia PC Suite. You don’t get that when you let the “Found New Hardware” wizard install it from the install CD. Don't restart your computer until the end of this rather lengthy two-step process... just click "Restart later"... I'll tell you when to restart...
START POINT (Still Step 1) - Ok, so now we are starting....
Shut down your system...
Plug in the CA-42 USB cable into a USB port. Important here… if you have a PC, decide on which USB port you are going to use ie; front or back USB ports. If you successfully install the cable drivers on one USB port, you cannot go taking out the USB cable and sticking it into another USB port on the same computer. You will lose the cable driver install completely. However if you plug the USB cable back into the original USB port used to install the cable driver software, it will re-appear in “Device Manager”. Maybe it does the same with laptops as well, I do not know..
Turn on your system... do not connect your phone to the CA-42 cable yet.
On restarting, Windows will find new device (CA-42 USB to Serial), try to install it automatically and come back and say... it was not installed properly (probably because of COM port conflicts)... let that finish, close it off and ....
While that was happening a "Found New Hardware" wizard will appear...let it happen.. do not close this.. let it sit and wait, we want to use this.... it is going to ask for the install CD, but guess what... when you insert the install CD (at least, if it's the same as the on I got) it’s going to kick off yet another install process.
Put the supplier's install CD in your player, that is going to kick off the CD's automatic install (autorun.inf), cancel it off.. do not run the automatic CD's install, it will not work !. Continue with Found New Hardware and let Windows find the CA-42 cable drivers on the install CD (from your drive D: or whatever) and install… do not restart your computer yet.
At the end of this, if you check Settings - Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager - Ports (COM & LPT), you should see an entry for - "CA-42 USB (COM something). That COM something will probably be COM1 or COM2. Highlight this and right click.. go Properties, Port Settings, Advanced – In XP, there is a box to select “COM Port No.” Set this to COM3. The driver should say that the “device is working properly”. Click Apply, OK and exit Control Panel…. Do not restart yet..
So now we have XP set… let’s set the app…. Nokia PC Suite
STEP 2 – Setting Nokia PC Suite.
Some preamble - In July 2009, I bought version 6.4.8 of Nokia PC Suite with the CA-42 cable. I installed it and I was unable to get the cell phone to see “Nokia PC Suite”. After much trial and error, I flung it aside.
Well this past weekend , I decided to have another go at it.
I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed a more recent version from Nokia’s support site… version 7.1.40.1 … cell phone still giving “Enhancement not supported” message. Could not believe that I was that unlucky…
Again after much trial and error, I got it to work – a classic case of the simplest thing being so darn difficult…. So here goes..
Download the latest version of “Nokia PC Suite”, if the version you get is the one I got (7.1.40.1), , then you need to -
Do not connect the CA-42 cable to your phone yet. It should be connected to your computer on the USB end in it’s original install USB port !!
Start up Nokia PC Suite - Go Settings, Manage Connections
Tick off only “Serial Cable (CA-42), this should be in the list assuming you installed it correctly in Step 1
Highlight it and the little spanner (Configure) at the bottom should now be enabled
Click on Configure.. the little spanner
If it is saying “COM1” click on the little down arrow to the right. COM3 should come up in the list
Click on COM3… stop right here, do nothing
NOW…. you plug in the Enhancement end of the cable into your phone. If it still gives the “Enhancement not Supported” error, don’t panic. Make sure the cable is into the phone nice and secure. By the way, this cable tends to get “Disconnected” with the slightest movement of my almost 4yr old Nokia 6101. Make sure you are not using the phone and the phone is in standby mode. The phone MUST NOT be in “Contacts” or some other menu available in the phone otherwise it will not connect to Nokia PC Suite… STANDBY MODE please… I am sure I frustrated myself unintentionally by not paying attention to this detail.
Right, NOW you click on OK (the green check mark) … assuming everything else was done properly, after about 10 seconds, the model no. of your phone should appear in Nokia PC Suite. If you get this, you are going to have a blast with this software.
So cool – using my PC….. I have since been able to delete off a lot of junk (from inbox, outbox, images etc) and free up valuable memory, amend Contacts info, do a full backup of my phone onto my PC, load in a truncated MP3 file of Doobie Brothers, "China Grove" as my ringtone (...made it myself with a free MP3 editor - 1st 30 seconds – 433Kb… yeah huge… but worth it) etc…
Still getting the hang of this software…. The only digital camera I have is the one on my phone, so now that I can take pics and get them into my PC so easily, I am going to have a lot of fun with this software as well as with other aspects of it that I am not aware of yet.. I still have to install some kind of “Modem” drivers from the CD, and there is something about upgrading your phone software…..
It has only been three days since I got it to work but, folks.. This Nokia PC Suite is outraaaaaageous. !!!!!!!!
Oh I forgot…. Now you can restart your computer.
PS.. Whenever I restart/shutdown my system, I have to go and do the COM1 to COM3 part again in Nokia PC Suite when I turn it back on. I have not found a way to save the setting. Will try to attach a pic (yep…. taken with my phone, and downloaded into my PC !!!) of the CA-42 cable and CD that I got.
Hope this helps..
The "Add Attachments" button below is not giving me any feedback.... some help please ?

Problem with Nokia Camera and Smart Sequence

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Nokia Camera and the Smart Sequence mode.
Basically, if you take a picture using nokia camera, and view it in your camera roll, it usually says, underneath the pic "open in nokia camera".
Well, if I take a pic using the Smart Sequence mode, it just doesn't say "open in nokia camera" so, to use the functions of smart sequence (best shot, motion focus, etc), I have to open nokia camera, go to settings and tap the "Find photos and videos shot with nokia camera" option.
Does anyone has the same problem? Anybody solved it?
I already tried reinstalling nokia camera, but that didn't help.
I'm running Nokia Black on my 925.
Thanks everyone!

Hi,
I had the same problem with my 1020. It did get fixed with the last update to Nokia camera.
However, IIRC, it didn't just happen right away. When browsing the camera roll I'm pretty sure that the "open with Nokia camera" text wasn't there.
Slightly disappointed I opened the (Nokia) camera anyway and was going to test the smart sequence again. I noticed the only precious pic I'd taken using this actually appeared top left of the screen.
I opened it and I had all the smart sequence editing options again - that we're missing previous. Made a new picture and saved it.
Now when in camera roll the text shows below the image and all is good.
This probably doesn't help much except that it didn't seem to fix automatically.
I work @Nokia so I can ask around a bit to see if this is a known / common issue (not that I know any developers)

Problem with Nokia 5200 and Flash Lite themes...

My problem is pretty simple to ask, but maybe not to easy to answer...
I downloaded many Flash Lite themes for my Nokia 5200, and my problem is that the animated icons for the grid (that are SWF files) don't show/animate.
Is it supposed to be like that?
The firmware is v5.53

Oh, I forgot this...
In Carbide.ui, the icons DO animate as they should.

also try change "WLAN security Mode" from WPA to 802.1x
I think Nokia referrs to WPA as WPA-PSK, but when you say TKIP then it also could be 802.1x as TKIP is the encryption used.
So infact your wireless domain might be a 802.1x/EAP-PEAP/MS-CHAPv2 network.Message Edited by mbil on 30-Apr-200702:58 PM

A problem with Nokia 5530 wirmware updating! Help!

Hi all,
I have meat the problem with Nokia 5530 firmware updating: updating allways finish with the message "Downloading of the variant package failed.Most probably there is non-commercial software in your device."
Is there any solution for that problem?
Thanks and regards,
Alexander

first its ok
then
translation:
For a better connection please insert the usb-cable directly in to the computer and not trough a usb-hub or -keybord or a dockingstation of a laptop.
Nokia Software Updater has tried downloading the software, but this is failed 4 times.
Its posible that it can be caused by a bad, slow or instable internet connection.
This failure can also occur because we have maybe a problem with our servers.
try later again
i tried it on 2 PCs one with vista and one with XP plz help me

Problem with Nokia Messaging on my N97 (V22)

Since afew weeks I have a strange problem with Nokia Messaging on my N97.
I receive emails using Nokia Messaging (V10.2.26) with a date shown incorrect as 01.01.0000 and the email then can’t be opened/read.
This happens either on 3G connection as well as WLAN and it seems to be by random, not only HTML-emails or emails with text only.
I have uninstalled Nokia messaging already and reinstalled V10.1.24 but the problem still remains.
Is there any idea how to fix this issue because it is quite annoying and I can’t use the full functionality of my cell phone?

absolutely m8. thats why i gave you a kudos.
the challenge is that NM has been unruly as of late...and believe when i say that i have literally been on the phone teching nokias support up to tier 2 and creating, canceling, trying new acounts with different email, different ways of creating them, with wifi, gprs...and praying for hours accross mutliple phone calls
but to no avail, are the devices we are using connecting and syncing...even with thier n900 specialist which i had to help him! lmao.
another option for a solution is alwayhs welcome as there are more then one way to skin a cat.
i hope it works for him and others as i kno9w thesome that are just giving up on it.

Problem with Nokia CK-7W HandsFree Car Kit

My wife recently bought a new car and the dealership installed a CK-7W bluetooth kit for us. However, we're having a really annoying problem with it.
Every so often, at completely random times, the stero in the car switches off for just a second and a really loud and annoying "beep" comes through the car speakers. At first I thought it was something to do with the cars settings so I searched through the car manual and even phoned the dealership back. However, the guy who sold it to me didn't know what the problem was and advised me to bring it back to them.
It's a while until I can get back to the dealership, but I'm pretty sure the problem lies with the bluetooth kit rather than the car. The reason I say this is because the annoying beep coincides with whenever the bluetooth connection is lost with the mobile phone it's paired with i.e. I think the beep is happening when the bluetooth kit is switching itself off.
My wife has a Sony Ericsson phone and I have a Nokia. I don't think the problem lies with the phones, because it happens no matter which phone is paired with it. It also happens when there isn't even a phone in the car or when both of our phones have the bluetooth switched off!
The manual provided with the kit (and available for download on this website) is totally useless. It barely explains how to use the kit properly or what each of the buttons/dials does. Also, there's a little light on the remote control button. Sometimes it's on, sometimes it's off, but most of the time it flashes. The manual says "The indicator light has three states: On. Flashing. Off." But, totally unhelpfully, it doesn't say what each of these states mean!!
My guess is that the bluetooth kit is randomly switching itself on and off, and then when it does switch off that is when the beep happens. But the very unhelpful manual provided with the kit is giving me no clues as to whether this is normal or not, or how to stop it happening.
The random beep drives us absolutely crazy. It's really loud and makes you jump whenever it happens and there appears to be now way even to turn it down! It's spoling our enjoyment of the new car. I cannot believe this is normal for this bluetooth kit and I feel fairly sure there must be a simple way to turn this beep off. But as I say, the manual is totally useless, so I'm turning ti this board for help!
Please someone help me with this! Do you think I've got a faulty kit or is there a simple way to cure this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi daveduck
I expect that they were happy to charge you enough, but why fit an outdated unit such as CK-7W to a new vehicle? It doesn't have noise canceling features such as newer CK-100 anyway and you would probably be disappointed with it's performance if trying to use newer phones. If one of you was using cradle connection and the other Bluetooth, I might have seen a rationale behind fitting this unit with reservations.
There is a way of stopping the "beeps" if the permanent +ve red wire is connected to same source as the IGN +ve Blue wire so unit reboots each time ignition is switched on, rather than being left permanently on.
The going rate for using a non-accredited Nokia carkit installer is a bit cheaper for the dealer but you have got the worst of both world's, a fitter not really familiar with Nokia products and poor advice.

Problems with Nokia Photos (Lifeblog)

I have been using Lifeblog 2.5 on my PC running on Windows XP sp2 for more than 2 years and was very pleased with how this software worked. I regularly used it to transfer both photos and videos from my N80 and N95 to my pc. When Lifeblog was premium software I paid for the full version.
I had a problem with my PC and had to perform a destructive recovery on the C drive of my pc. I then tried to download the Lifeblog program again from Nokia only to be met with a SORRY greeting. So i was able to find the Nokia Photos software which I downloaded and installed. I then imported my Back up files from Lifeblog.
The problem with Nokia Photos is Videos do not play. Only SMS and Photos can be viewed even though I have ticked all the boxes.
I think that Nokia must have some problems with Lifeblog and Nokia Photos. Any help as to how I may be able to get it to work as well as it was before would be greatly appreciated.

I have since reinstalled all the XP framework software and it seems to work fine now.

Problem with nokia x03-02 phone

hello all..
well i've got a brand new x03-02, it like 2weeks old. i've been encountering problems like it restarts on its own. its got 3 buttons on functionating since 3 days i think..i send that for repair..the man said its got something to do with virus and the memory card. they re setted factory and send it back to..upon inserting my sim card..the buttons ain't working neither. what to do????
am like..hell why ain't my phone working..i've got a 6months warrenty on the phone..they said they won't give me one new...is that impossible for them?

I was offered Nokia X03-2 without charge () when my beloved Nokia 6i30i just died, and they failed to replace it. Of course they did not give me a new phone, but one that they have fixed.
At that point started my problems. The phone itself was nice, but when I have left it to be
charged, the next morning it was found dead.
They have replaced my phone once more, and this time I was watching the charge process - and it happened again.
The next time, I have disconnected the phone from the power when I received the BATTERY FULL message - but it was dead in the next morning.
It looks like this phone does not like to be fully charged.
Please let me know if anyone have succeeded in fully charging the phone and still survive. If anyone confirm that it is not a model restriction, I'll change it once again.
If I'll not receive any answer -I'll know that there is a major problem with the phone, and ask its replacement.
Thanks,
Koby.

Problem with Nokia Video Manager - No video, only ...

Hi all,
I have a problem with nokia video manager. I have been converting movies to mp4 and watching with my cell phone for a while now. But all the videos I have converted were less than 30 min. long.
When I tried to watch a video longer than 36 minutes, the picture froze some time around 36th minute and only the sound continued to play. I have tried several other videos with similar lenghts and all seem to freeze at the same exact point. The player continues to play the sound after picture freezes.
Could someone please help ???

This is my problem with nokia 5800:

this is my problem with nokia 5800:
my phone is updated.
sorry my english isn't good
1. music player have too much problem and player hang too much,too much ,too much.and earased playlist and all songs in playlist and from music player then i should earase songs from my phone then retransfer to phone
2.music player sometimes hang at the end of song and I should restart my phone!!!
3.Oh INTERNET!often when I work with internet and click above a link phone hanging and restart browser and I huffy!!!
4.messageing has not recently use numbers and I should alwayes add my numbers from contacts but nokia java mobiles in part of "To" has recently used numbers shortcut!!!
5.when dialling a number and failed,I should heare the error trump for 7 second and don,t disconnect with any key!!!!
6.after i update my GPS some of entertainments isn,t in new version, such as take photo from map nad altimeter and ...!!!
7.photo camera has not sound off or intercept the voice!!!
8sometimes remot of player dosn't work and I should pause music then replay to work the remote
9.the camera has not 16:9 aspect ratio.but 5800's lcd is 16:9
10.Note applicatin has any shortcut for sorting notes
11.bluetooth should saved in phone memory and if memory be full or the shared file is longer than memory phone we can't save that on phone!!!
12.delivery report dosen't shown at inbux and I should that from Delivery report part and if number of messages is more than 20, we can't know delivery report!!!
13.

1.
2. Their different teams. As I said, this is not a big issue unless more people send emails to Nokia asking for it, and no, as far as I can see, only a minority cares for this issue. Nokia will not spend to develop something in an OS that only a few people care about.
5. Its an OS design. Either live with it or buy a new phone.
7. It seems you do not understand what "country dependent" means. It depends upon your country's rules and regulations if this is available, and if the majority of the countries in the world are making laws for the prohibition of silent cameras, Nokia cannot do anything about it. If they break this law, then that country will not allow Nokia phones to be sold in that country, which is bad for Nokia. Personally I dont understand why people want to remove shutter sound.
9. The setting to get 16:9 ratio is yes, software, but you also have to consider the sensor hardware. The sensor hardware is able to receive light in the same ratio as the pictures, and not in 16:9 ratio. Hardware cannot be adjusted. You yourself said you work with an SLR camera, and if you look through the viewfinder, you see that the camera lens sees the view in a "square" ratio as well like the phone. Creating software to render a picture in 16:9 ratio is just simply creating software that cuts off the reception of light in the top and bottom part of the picture so as to create a 16:9 effect. Meaning the camera is not utilizing the full 3.2 megapixels of the phone, and the result is just the same as getting the picture you took and editing it on your PC to show a 16:9 ratio.
