Reboot of Nokia 5300 when syncrhonzing ? :(

I just bought a Nokia 5300 and I am not able to sync with my PC through the PC suite, version 6.82. I also tried the older version that comes with the CD, version 6.81, but it gives me exactly the same problem.
The problem below occurs both with the usb cable and the bluetooth connection.
I have windows xp with all the latest patches and service packs installed. I have 519 phone numbers that I syncrhonize and after phone number 229, the nokia 5300 is simple rebooted, I get a white screens, and it restarts ... and ofcourse then PC suite reporst an error, saying that the connection is lost.
I spend many days trying to solve this: make sure it's not in standby mode, that it has enough memory, touching the keyboard while synchronizing, so it not get in standby.... turn off the keyguard, bluetooth, cable, etc... everytime exactly the same error.
BTW: If I synchronise the second time, such that I already have 229 contacts in my phone, I says that it is sending data and then receiving data, and then when receiving contact nr 20, it restarts again .... reallly frustrating... a brand new phone that I didn't even used yet!!
I also tried it with and without sim card and with only the phone/sim memory selected...
If I look in the last outlook contact it synced, it doesn't contain any strange things.
I searched in the faq and the discussion forums, but nothing could help me. Can you please give me some help how to solve this, as the phone is useless to me at the moment and I was planning to buy more of them for the people that work for me.
BTW: The syncrhonization works well with my very "old Nokia phone" and I am using the PC suite already for years now..
Looking forward to your reaction, Ed BrasMessage Edited by edbras on 11-Dec-2006

Hmmmm... no Reply... that doesn't surprise me at all...
I solved the synchronising problem I had, and it is a BUG in the phone. So I hope some Nokia people will do something with this and send me a software update when they come up with a new software version for the phone. Why the problem, as early described occured?... I did some intensive testing and found out that the nokia 5300 hangs up (restarts) when the outlook contact contains a picture of the person. That is: just like you can add a picture of the person in your phone, that's also possible with the outlook contacts. However, the Nokia 5300 hangs him self up when it encounters a contact that has such a picture. Did you guys test this even? a the phone itself also offers this functionality (that is: add a picture to your phone contact). Regards, Ed Bras

Nokia 5300: please help!

i have a problem with my nokia 5300 xpress music phone! I can listen to the radio with my headphones, but when i play my music, it only plays via the loudspeakers and not through the headphones!! i've emailed nokia and they've repeatedly advised me to check that i'm using nokia original accessories and i am using the ones that came in the box! so i duno what the problem is!! is there some setting that i have to change to play the music through the headphones instead of the loudspeakers?? I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out! Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you haven't emptied your trash while the phone is connected, just re-connect your phone to the Mac and then empty your trash. While you deleted files from your phone's memory card, the Mac actually doesn't delete it until you run the "Secure Empty Trash" command.
hope this helps

Install games in nokia 5300

hi. i´ve bought a nokia 5300 but i do not know how to install games on ti. i´ve got nokia pc suite 6.8. when i download games there are to files, on with .jad extension and another with .jar extension. help me please!

There's two way:
1-If you've already installed Nokia PC suite, just double-click .jar files then click OK. A Messenger box "Install completed" will go out, telling you that the selected game is installed.
2-(only for Nokia s40 3rd Edition): Connect your phone to PC, select Data Storage Mode. Open your Memory card (Display as Removeable disk in My Computer), then copy .jar game & paste it here (or wherever you want on your card). Using this will save your phone memory (so limited on s40 3rd Edtion phone), but you've to play the game from your Memory card

Nokia 5300 "Error in Connection"

Hi,
I am having trouble with my Nokia 5300 phone recently. At certain places where i stay at, my phone will experiece the "error in connection" problem. I bought this phone overseas and currently use AT&T as my service provider.
At home my phone will show i have reception but when i try calling it will give me "error in connection". I try my sim card on my friend's phone and it works. When he tests his sim card in my phone same error occurs. However, when i leave my home and try to use my phone elsewhere the phone works. It's very annoying because i stay at home most of the time. My phone now is practically useless.
I have read that some 3G signal will disturb the phone with error in connection. However, i don't think 5300 is a 3g phone?
Please help me solve this problem. Thanks!

Hi,
Lets try these workarounds:
Go to Menu>Settings>Phone>Operator Selection> Choose Manual - then phone will scan for active networks in your area, after that pick the right network which you are on.
It might also happen that the connection quality on your area is weak - it will really have a hard time looking up for a signal especially at home. The phone will not compensate though as I have observed that it has a weak internal aerials compared to my 5610 and N96.
I have read that some 3G signal will disturb the phone with error in connection. However, i don't think 5300 is a 3g phone?
3G signal doesn't affect in your phone in anyway. Nokia is only a GPRS/EDGE capable device therefore it is not 3G.
Hope this helps =)

i'm afraid the only way you can regain access to a memory card that you forgot the password to is to format it.
just an update:
i found this useful post by Adamf , it might help you find your password without formatting it:

Nokia 5300 & Hs-16 Headset

i just got a Nokia genuine HS-16 headset for my nokia 5300 . inside the box u find 3 cables , 1x AV 2.5mm,1 X AV3.5mm , 1 x 3.5mm .
So i used the Nokia AV 2.5mm cable & when i connect it nokia would display "enhancement not supported"
the only way i found to use these headfones on my nokia 5300 is by using the AD-50 adaptor & the Nokia 3.5mm cable .
how come i get such error ? isnt the 2.5mm cable built for the Nokia 5300 ( and other nokias with 2.5mm socket ) ?
karl

The phone can only support one headset connected at once so it's not possible (even with a firmware update) for you to listen to radio on a bluetooth headset.
The same applies to it's replacement S40v5 handsets, the 5310 and 5610.

Firmware for NOKIA 5300

I have two questions.
1) What are the differences between firmware V 3.39 and V 5.0 for Nokia 5300 phone?
2) When i try to add a contact to a sms which is being written, only the name of the contact is added, instead of both name and phone number! Why is this? How can i add a saved phone number(pre saved in "contacts" ) to a sms ,without writing the number manually?

Hello,
I made a firmware update yesterday. Today, I noticed that the pound-key ("#") does not put the phone in silent mode anymore. This was definetly caused by the firmware-update. How can I reconfigure "#" to put my phone into silent-mode?

Nokia 5300 only showing 57 songs?

just got my 2gb card for my nokia 5300 express phone and have put quite i few songs on it but for some reason only 57 are showing up? but if i go into the mem card i can play them that way but not with the music player or the side buttons..
also my music is in wma format if it matters

I beleive i have tracked down the issue. When you record in Windows format it will pass along the copy protection. If you ever tried to play a WMA on another computer it will request a download of the verify file for that song. You are also limited to how many times you can download the file. Since there is no way to download the vefication on your phone, it want play. I beleive there is a check box for exclude copy protection when you rip the music. I just got fed up and record everything to MP3
