Radio reception problem on 6303i classic

The radio reception on my new 6303i classic is crystal clear most of the time on most radio stations. However the receptions is intermitantly interupted on only a couple of stations. This interuption is only for a brief moment every thirty seconds or so, but is quite annoying. It is unusal as it only apper to affect a couple of radio frequencies I can receive.
I've check I've tuned the phone to the correct frequency and also checked (by using my old nokia phone) that there is nothing wrong with the particular station and also to eliminate the possibility that the issue is due to my location.
I sent the phone to be tested but it has come back all clear - is it possible that that there could be a fault with the phone which only affects particular frequencies and that when the phone was tested, it was tested on a non affected frequency and that is the reason it showed up not faulty?

I’m having the same problem with my 2730 Classic. The radio cuts out for 4 seconds at a time on some frequencies, and 1 second at a time on another. This can happen up to 4 times every minute, and happens at irregular intervals. I upgraded the firmware to the latest version, but it made no difference.
I’ve seen several threads describing the same problem on various phones, but although there are suggestions for possible fixes, none is familiar with the problem so there are no answers.
I thought that perhaps bumping this thread might bring it to the attention of someone who knows the problem and has a solution.

6303i Classic & Outlook

I have a 6303i Classic handset and installed the Nokia software and drivers all OK I can sync the mobile contacts, calander, etc with my laptop but I see there is an options to sync with Outlook which I have tried but it says the phone is not supported.. now is this a case or is there a problem with the sotfware/drivers or phone settings. Also have a problem sync'in with the laptop bluetooth. Laptop can connect to other devices and it's on XP Pro

This is not a common issue with the phone model in general.
Common causes of purer than expected battery life can include poor signal reception (if your operator has a poorer than average signal in your area, the phone will be hunting for a signal more often which uses more battery power), or and also Bluetooth being left on all the time.
If you want a refund, then your recourse is with the retailer who sold it; but you would be better advised take the phone to a Nokia service point, they would look at the phone under warranty. They will fix the phone, if fixing isn't possible they replace it.

Nokia Messaging 6303i classic - no e-mail alerts

Hi all,
I have a problem with Nokia Messaging on my new phone - Nokia 6303i classic. The problem is that I can't enable the e-mail alert option - when I tick the "Alert me for new e-mail" option, it says "E-mail alerts not available. Alerts option ot available". My e-mail account is in Gmail. My service provider (VIVACOM, Bulgaria) says that they support Nokia Messaging and that it's up to some settings (which they apparently can't figure out!). I have all the necessary settings to access the internet and the phone browser works great; Nokia Messaging also works - connects to my Gmail account, receives messages, the only problem is with new e-mail alerts.
I know 6303i doesn't support multitasking - could the problem be related to this (e-mail client unable to run in the background)?
I used a Nokia 2330 before and it had a native e-mail client with far more capabilities - no problem with e-mail alerts, could edit (copy/paste) received e-mail body text (a very useful function which lacks in Nokia Messaging!) - can I get that on my 6303i instead of Nokia Messaging?
Phone firmware version: V10.80/21-01-11/RM-638
Nokia Messaging version: 1.3.49
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
N. Y.

I recieved an update from Nokia support center. For everyone wondering, here's the deal, as far as I get it 6303i comes with embedded Nokia messaging application instead of the usual s40 native e-mail client; that's why there's no e-mail alert tone option in the profiles' settings. However, when you try to enable e-mail alerts from inside the Nokia Messagign application, you get an error message stating that this option is unavailable. What I could make out is that, as s40 doesn't support multitasking, Nokia Messaging can't be left running in the background and therefore can't alert you on new e-mails. As I see it, it's a design failure.
Nokia, if you couldn't make Nokia Messaging e-mail alerts work in s40, why didn't you just leave the good old native e-mail client, for crying out loud???!!!

6303i Classic - no option to change Right Selectio...

Just been upgraded to a 6303i Classic. I want to remove Web (which I won't use) from the Right Selection key and put Names there like it was on my old 6230.
The manual says I can change the Right Selection key in Settings, My Shortcuts. I see options to change the Left Selection key and the Navigation key, but there is no option to change the Right Selection key.
The software is on version 6.84. I attempted the update to 7.10 using the phone's own updater, but it came back saying no update was available.
Grateful for any thoughts from the world out there .....
- Ian.

I too have the same problem with no Right Selection Key. When I contacted Vodafone, they said that it was Nokia responsible for setting it that way.
Who do I contact now? Is it possible for someone/company to change it?
This is the first time I have had a Nokia phone, unfortunately I'm not impressed with it so far

I upgraded the software for Nokia 6303i classic from V 06.61 to V 07.10. It was a mess after that. All my phone settings, contacts, messages, calendar entries, logs, everything were wiped off just like that. Either I did not notice this warning or nokia itself has missed out to highlight that this will happen.
Anyways, my major concern now is that I have lost the default applications and games that came along with it (sudoko, calculater, etc). I have tried to install it from many sites but it does not suit even though it is listed for this model. (via nokia PC suite)
Does any one know how to fix this? I desperately need atleast the calculator which came along with the phone. I have tried to reset it to factory settings – ALL – but nothing helped.
The clock will always show right in the middle left of the screen and you cant put it up right on top I guess.

Anyone knows if is there any SOFT FOR RADIO ENHANCEMENT or any helpy thing i can do to solve this problem?

Hi Coconut,
Thank you for the response!
I tried everything you said - but it still didn't make any difference. Finally I had to call my service provider and she said I had to enable the QOS setting on my router. All seems to be alright now - so I guess that was it!
Cheers and thanks again!

VM-650 and FM Radio Reception Issues

Recently bought the VM-650 and was initially happy with it, but I am finding that the FM radio reception will work for a bit on a station setting then start to hiss intermittently then with increasing regularity. Very annoying. When I try another setting with either automatic (press and hold volume up) or manual approach, it continues to happen after briefly functioning fine. Is there anything I can do to improve and sustain a stable FM reception with this device?

I appreciate the effort, but I don't think it has anything to do with available radio frequency. I've changed the frequency a number of times and the problem continues to surface.

Thanks calla242, it was because of you that i came to know about the update,
i got the update through nokia software updater, and many of the bugs that i kept complaining about are gone,
use nokia software updater for the update, it's easy and it's clean,
there are always problems while downloading through ovi suite,
nokia software updater is available on nokia website, it's a one time download and you can use it to update the device software if it's available for your device

Zen Micro Radio Recept

I have a zen micro, and I have to say I love it. I get almost 4 hours out of the batteries. I have had no problems whatsoever. My only thing is the radio reception. I know that it generally sucks, but I made a discovery last night. With any headphones I used, the reception was bad. When I plugged a Bose headphones extender into it the receptio jumped to almost perfect. It would seem that the reception is directly related to the length of the headphone cord. Has anyone else expireinced this?
Blade

I love in vancouver Canada, and im using the stock creative headphones and i so far have had no problem with the radio what so ever. although the sound does become fuzzy if i go into lower levels of the mall but that is just a minor thing to me.

Poor radio reception

I've had my 5th gen Nano about 7 months now and I've never had decent radio reception. It doesn't matter what headphones I use, the reception is horrible! I live about 15 miles from downtown Manhattan (where most of the local radio stations broadcast from) but I can barely get a signal. I'm in a very good reception area for other radios. If I do get a signal, it cuts in and out to the point where its annoyingly useless! I like to ride my bike and listen to the radio, would it help to get an extension wire for the headphones to make the "antenna" longer? How about if I attached the ground / shield to the frame of the bike?
Perhaps my Nano is just defective? Does anyone else have this problem?

I've tried other apple earbuds and my regular Klipsch earbuds. Neither made any difference.
I sent it in for repair this week. I just received an email from Apple saying they couldn't find any problem. Not surprising since the self-service support is just a few drop down menus to describe the trouble.
I guess I'm going to have to bring it to the Apple store to show them the trouble...

Reception problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

AFter upgrading to 4.2.1, my 3GS iPhone is experiencing bad signal, bad quality and frequent disconnections.
This was repeated even after my provider replaced my device to a different 3GS device, running 4.2.1.
inserting my SIM card to a NOKIA phone, showed strong signal and good reception.
Did anyone experience reception problems on 3GS running 4.2.1??
Thanks,

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection. You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine. You can purchase the router at 3gstore

IPhone 3G Reception Problems? You're Not Alone

I have the same problem with 3G coverage. I am suppose to be in a strong 3G coverage area at home. I only have 1 bar. Traveling around town (Sacramento area) my 3G coverage changes dramatically. From 1 bar to full bars? Not sure if its working properly or not??? Anyhow, this was posted on Engadget. After they exchanged their iPhone the problem went away? Could it be true? Is it the netork or our iPhones? Lets all hope nothing is wrong with our iPhones!!!!
iPhone 3G Reception Problems? You're Not Alone
One of the more disturbing things coming out of the iPhone 3G launch is reports of suspiciously poor 3G reception and speeds. Specifically, I've seen several people report one bar - specifically, one bar - of 3G reception in areas where other devices report strong reception. (More complaints at Engadget.)
This may be a problem with a batch of iPhones, or with something in AT&T's network, though I've also seen someone reporting the problem on O2 in the UK. The first review iPhone we got had this problem - it would mysteriously drop from four bars of 3G to one for no apparent reason, while our Motorola RAZR2 V9 reported better reception. Then it would shoot back up to four bars for no apparent reason a few minutes later. That unit would also occasionally throw up an "invalid SIM" error, requiring a reboot. That phone also had hideously slow 3G data speeds in the 50 kbps-150 kbps range, so the missing bars weren't just a display issue; there was something wrong with the way the phone was hitting the network.
We exchanged that iPhone for a different unit and no longer had the problem. We took the new iPhone and carried it around comparing it to a Motorola V9, and the two phones connected roughly the same number of calls on the 3G network. The new unit also had much higher data speeds in the same locations - still not great, in the 300-400 kbps range, but at least reflecting 3G.

my white iphone does the same thing. I will drop down to one bar on 3g but full strength when i turn 3g off. Some people have tried to say that it is because 3g had more difficulty going through walls. Mine will not switch between 3g and edge on it's own so i find that when at home i just have to turn off the 3g. I have also heard rumors of a bad batch of iphones. I tried to take it into the store today but they were so busy i just had to make an appointment for thursday, although i was able to replicate the problem in front of the apple geek, which was a little surprising becuase while in line outside the store i had full bars of 3g. It might just be an issue that occurs when indoors? I also have a problem with lag. I'm hoping to get it resolved thurdays, whether they give me a new phone or just tell me to eff off and deal with it. probably the latter.
