6230 - Nokia repair ??

haeffnkr

Oct 3, 2005, 9:11 AM
I have an ENS nokia 6230 with 5.34 OS - I am going to have Nokia repair it (upgrade the OS)
The latest ver. is 5.5 (super-ceded by 5.4)
Nokia told me this upgrade fixes all the problems with the errors - Can any one verify this?
This repair is my only option since Cingular dumped the phone and on its Customers.

I have experienced the lock up issue - scrolling issue - and bad reception/static/dropped calls.
I really want the call issues resolved.

BTW - after I turned on Automatic Keygaurd (activate in 1:00 minute) I had never had the lockup or scrolling issue again - but I can not live with the static and reception any longer.

Any input would be appreciated.

thanks Kevin

How do you check the OS on your 6230?

Thanks,

From NOKIA

To find the serial number of your phone please try one of the following:
Input *#06# on your phone. (Some phones will display the serial number when this code is entered.)
Switch off the phone and remove the battery. The serial number is printed on the white label inside your phone.
Check your original sales package or box.
Reference your proof of purchase/receipt/contract.
Contact your service provider.

Anyone with Nokia repair experience?
Does anyone experience poor reception and calls cutting in and out with their 6230 on 5.34 OS?

The Nokia 6682 is too big for my liking.

To get the firmware details on the 6682, you'd enter *#0000# - that might work, or it may be a different code for your phone.

What does a 6682 have to do with 6230?
Was the phone serviced by Nokia?

OK- lets derail this thread...
How do you like the 6682?
Why didn't you get your 6230 repaired?

i love the 6682 and I would have been without a phone waiting for the 6230 to get repaired. I also do not buy that nokia really nows why the phone does not work. And if it was just a simple software update Cingular would still carry the phone.

How did you get that? They won't even offer me that phone for my bad 6230. Was it through insurance or warranty?

Did you have to pay anything?

Oh, OK. Mine was still under warranty, so they replaced it with the SE S710a. I think I will be happy with that phone.

Demand something that is either Nokia, or at least has Bluetooth, MP3, AND a memory card slot, AND has EDGE. That is the main feature set of the 6230 and that severely limits their choices. And they can't say the s710a is not available because mine shipped out of Texas.

Tell them you have accessories tied up that wi...
