Ulocking the nokia 6280?

My girlfriend just bought me a nokia 6280 on the internet but it is locked to 3 network & as im a vodafone costomer its not much good to me dose anyone no of anywhere i can get a ulock code from?

hi everyone, its been a while since I last posted here, but looking at all your responses as nice as everyone is i'm still in the same situation.
Things however did slightly move on. Got the security code sorted as carphone warehouse did that for free surprisingly and they reset it to 12345 so that was good, then it still asked for the restriction code which t-mobile charged us £15 for. Got the pin used it twice which is the max time it says you can do otherwise your phone will be locked forever and we got code error. It said in the letter they sent with the code if it says code error to call a number 01717 bla ba and guess what the line was dead.
SO £15 down and still with the subsidy pin they claimed we needed did not work!
Has it come to the point where no one knows how to unlock this t-mobile handset? Pls someone help me its driving me crazy. Was only trying to the fiance a good turn and its all back fired! Thanks

Nokia 6280 - am contemplating getting one, should ...

Ok so I went through nokia 6111's in 3 months at the beginning of the year, and ended up with a Samsung for the remainder of my contract. I am now able to upgrade again in 3 weeks time, and am contemplating getting the Nokia 6280. The man at O2 I spoke to said that he hasnt heard of many problems with them recently, but I keep seeing the odd post about them pop up on here.
Are the majority of them behaving now or should I avoid it?
I want a smallish phone, preferably one that is a flip or slide phone (as it lives in my pocket and I dont want to keep pressing buttons) I love Nokia phones, but dont want to be let down again like I was last time.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

I ended up with a samsung because 02 refused to send me any more nokias due to the problems I was having. The D600 I have is ok, but there are just little things about it I dont like - really stupid things, but ones that, when a Nokia works they have them. For example, theres not apostrophe when typing txts, you cant write "weren't" because the hyphon doesnt exist. It doesnt put a capital letter automatically after a full stop, which again the nokias do, and the message capacity of it is tiny.
Anyway Ive gone off topic. I want a phone that I can take decent pics with (the samsung has a really good camera on it) one that has bluetooth, one that I can read my email on (I have a yahoo account, so as its 02 I can check my email) easily and quickly, and bascially one that wont keep switching itself off or dying on me!

Just a quick note, my N80 doesn't put a caps after full stops. You have to change to it.
Is that an N95 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?!?
Life's too important to take seriously.

Nokia 6280 - MiniSD Password Lockout - non accessa...

I've a Kingston 1GB MiniSD used with the NOKIA 6280. Was working fine for the last few months. Recently, I've notice a "Set Password" in the menu, and would like to protect the data on the MiniSD. After setting the password, I could not access the memory card, nor access to the password function to remove the password. Could not even format as the MiniSD is not shown on menu or anywhere in the phone, as lost. ANYONE, Please advice soonest solution, as I've important data all stored in the card.
I’ve also search the WEB for solution and seems that most there is many such cases but no solution, Is this a bug in the NOKIA 6280 or the KINGSTON MiniSD, please advice.
Truly greatful...

I had the same thing happen to my memory card in the 6280.
Purchased a new 512mb card and also noticed a protection service available on the menu. Requested this and couldn't access the memory card anymore.
The phone didn't recognise that it had a memory card installed and i couldn't find any menu where to un-protect the card. Tried formating the memory card in both my laptop and camera but both said that the card was protected and couldn't format it. Ended up taking the card back to shop and the kid behind the counter replaced it with a new memory card.
It sounds like another software issue with this un-reliable phone.Message Edited by nickrov on 04-Apr-200702:03 PM

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?

Changing the lcd-lens on nokia 6280

I have a nokia 6280 and the lcd screen's Lens are broken (cracks all over the it!)
I bought a replacement lens on the internet.
To the problem, How shall I change it properly?
Please help me!Message Edited by edvini on 03-Dec-200703:52 PM

These parts are not conceived to be user-replacable, you should have the phone repaired by a Nokia service point rather than attepting it yourself - especially if the phone is still covered by its warranty.
This repair will not be covered by the warranty, so you would have to pay for the repair, but if you attempt it yourslef and something else goes wrong with the phone you will be without warranty.

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

I need restriction code For Nokia 6280

Hello all,
A friend got a Nokia 6280 as a gift from the UK, the phone is on 3 network. each time the phone is put on it asks for restriction code. I don't have the code and do not what code to use.
Hoping to hear from you guys.

Hi giggsonic
This has been discussed many times on this forum including the sticky thread at the top of this board..
http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=hardware&message.id=69
Basically the restriction (sometimes called unlock) code would have to come from the original network.

My phone does not promtp me to accept a connection. Any suggestions?

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.
