Nokia 6255i / 6256i

Is it possible to put a photo on the outer display? If so, how is that done? -Lorna

I was wondering if any one else had these problems , the loudspeaker seems a little tinty and there seems to be a hiss when i use it sometimes. Also my old Nokia and other verizon phones in the mobile web had a category under email called communities it doesn't appear in the menu on my Nokia phone. This is odd cause it didn't appear on the razr either but it was on the lg 8100 and lg 9800.

I got a lot done with the phone today. I called VzW and set up my Voice Mail, learned how to call in to check Voice Mail, set up an automated debit from my checking account every month, and bought a ringback tone for callers to hear during the month of December ("Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by Christina Aguilera).

After that I went through my User Manual again for bits of information, and then checked out the Quick Reference Guide. Previously I had watched part of the CD but when I saw that it was simply a mentioning of things rather than an explaining of them, I ejected the CD.

Tonight while reading that Quick Reference Guide about charging, I found the answer to my earlier question about how one knows when the phone has...

Took it in to be replaced this morning, this is my third try-- out of the blue this weekend the 3, 6 and 9 keys stopped working. No water damage or drops, just working fine one minute, not working at all the next.

They gave me very little trouble at Cellular South on the exchange, but my concern now is that my warranty did not reset when I've had the phone replaced, meaning that it runs out in a few months. I am just a bit nervous that I'll find myself stuck having to eat the cost of my next replacement.

Anyhow, all in all I still love the phone-- it is without question the most feature rich CDMA handset available today-- else I would have opted to get some other phone rather than a new 6255i.

Has anyone else had a frozen key p...

What is the dif? Ok this may be crazy and I dont care 2 much about it but I just wanna know I can get realtones on this phone right? I can actually hear the song with the words right? Just wondering if any1 could explain if there is a dif...

Please tell me if I am right.
I downloaded some wallpaper at a site I listed in this forum. The author made wallpaper for the large and small screen. No pictures, just gradients of colors, and quite eye-catching.

I'm figuring that the way to be able to use one of his wallpapers is to:

1 upload that particular gradient file (.png file) via BlueTooth to my 6256i. Would .png files be accepted?

2 put that uploaded file into GRAPHICS folder

3 select that gradient image for wallpaper

Is that all there is? I do not have the Nokia PC Suite bc I use an iMac, and Nokia does not for iMac.

I won't do it right now bc I fear that something could mess up the 6256i. I basically seek assurance that this is not only possible, but ...

At this site you can download what the author calls GRADIENTS. They are wallpapers for the big and little display. No pictures, bc he says that pictures distract from the words, but colors... gradients of colors.

I downloaded the whole shebang but have not a clue how to get them into my phone to use. Beyond that, I am not entirely sure that I want to do it bc I fear that this would somehow be against a warranty bla bla bla bla bla.......

Some general questions for you all:

1) If I stick the antenna in my ear, will I hear better?
2) Which finger do I use to press the buttons?
3) Are there different kinds of cell phones?
4) I've heard of some company called Verizon - who are they?
5) And lastly, does my mouth need to be near the microphone when I talk?

Thanks so much!

just wonderin ....cuz its not in ohio or indiana as of yet ....i have one but i got it directly from a nokia rep that gave it to me ...so im just tryin to see the price and where you got it ...thnx for any info you can give me 😳

Previously when I stuck my BlueTooth adapter into a USB port in my iMac, the BlueTooth icon showed up on the Control Panel.

I had to remove the BlueTooth adapter to make room for my scanner USB connection. Then this morning I removed the scanner cord and plugged the BlueTooth adapter back in, and now 😲 there is NO BLUETOOTH ICON SHOWING in the Control Panel. I tried turning the iMac off and turning it on again, but no BlueTooth icon shows.

I have removed the BLUETOOTH adapter before and the icon always showed up in the Control Panel when I stuck the adapter back into the port.

Any thoughts on this? I am beginning to wonder if it's a computer problem but I don't want to go that far unless and until I know for sure it is ...

This is in neither the phone User Manual nor the (Nokia) BlueTooth User Manual

WHEN MAKING A VOICE DIAL CALL FROM YOUR BLUETOOTH EARBUD:

1. Your phone has to be in Standby mode. I failed many times before I was told this by the Nokia rep at the Experience Center.

2. Depress and hold the Call button on the BlueTooth earbud. There will be 3 sound prompts. After the third sound prompt (a quick, short series of whimsical sounding high notes), take your finger off the Call button of your BlueTooth earbud and say the Voice Dial name.

How can I know when I have sufficiently charged up my 6256i? The user manual lacks details on this and a lot of procedures. Last night I charged the phone a bit and there was a sort of animation of vertical bars flashing on the outer display. I figured that when those bars stopped flashing, I could disconnect the phone charger from the phone, and that is what I did.

However, today, after using the phone and experimenting with Voice Mail (which I still am confused about), I noticed that the battery power was low so I connected the charger to the phone. This time, even though the outer display reads "low battery," there are NO moving vertical bars showing....... and therefore I do not know when to disconnect the charger.

Help, ple...

I have heard several things and was wondering if someone could clear up some issues.

1. does the verizon version have an MP3 player? I know it wont play mp3's as ring tones but does it have a mp3 player other than that?

2. How is the voice dialing? Is it as simple as hit a button and say a name then it dials or is it hit a button then say dial then say a name then say yes then it dials.

3. Can you assign names to numbers so when that person calls it will show the name on the outside display and not the number?

4. Can you verify you can answer calls w/ in speaker mode w/ the clam closed.

Thanks!

Woohoo! The 6256i arrived by FedEx at noon and in a minute I was out the door headed for the Nokia Experience Center, where a very nice fellow named Paul set my phone up for me and showed me some basics. He also connected my phone to the Nokia C-11 BlueTooth earbud. I took a picture of Paul and sent it to my home emailbox and it was there waiting for me when I arrived home.

Once home I paired the BlueTooth with my iMac-- a very quick process! I had some trouble with file transfers because I did not realize that the little beep meant for me to look at my phone and reply to the question. After one failure to connect, I glanced at my phone and saw the question, clicked YES, and the file transfer from my iMac to my phone was done.

All this...

Hey, I just got this phone today (finally!) and I was wondering what kind of memory card to use...by that I mean, will the slot work with an SD card or only MMC? My SD card looks the same size as the slot, but it will not close correctly or read when i try to install it. Please help.

Hi, my dad just bought a Nokia 6255i today. Whenever he puts it in the case, the volume button on the side gets pushed and the volume gets turned down all the way. Is there a way to lock it, or is he just going to have to get a new case?

I got a Radio Shack catalog (#652) over the weekend and it shows the 6256i for $59.99:

With qualifying 2-year agreement. $259.99 without.

I've used the OBEX functionality to transfer some files from my BT laptop to the phone.

I've yet to get an MP3 to work as a ringtone, but that may be because it's too big.

It's not a bad phone, but I think I'll be returning mine.

The call quality is very good, as is the sensitivity (It gets good signals in areas where my LG4400 did not). There are some little things that bother me, so it's on to something else.

FedEx is going to deliver my 6256i and Nokia BlueTooth earbud today.

Question: What are the steps for pairing up the BlueTooth in the phone with my BlueTooth (by adapter) iMac? I see a BlueTooth folder in the iMac hard drive.

Which device do I start with? Do I open up the BlueTooth iMac folder first and have it "find" the 6256i or do I access the BlueTooth in the phone and have it "find" the BlueTooth iMac?

Are there instructions anywhere?

I have never had a BlueTooth anything before. Just recently I bought a BlueTooth adapter dongle from the Apple Store. I did stick it into the iMac USB port and I do see the BlueTooth icon up in the control panel. Well, now it is a BlueTooth icon with a line drawn through it because I took th...
