Nokia 6230 - user opinions and reviews
- NOUMAN
great features,but bad in all means of transfering data and managing the features that are written in the manual and supposed to be in the fone.{i dont advise this fone at all}.
- What can I do?
Dear Friends,
Can anyone help me, since got this 6230 phone and this problem have been bothering me.
When I took pictures from the phone, stored and later send out by mms-perfectly no problem. But when my friends transfer pictures to my phone either by bluetooth or infrared, this 6230 can received and stored. But unfortunately, whenever I need to send out this pictures by mms, always prompt File Format Not Supported.
I sent in the phone to check and the service centre said it's like that (but I tried other nokia camera models do not have this problem) and I called the Nokia Helpdesk 2-3 weeks ago and promised to look into the problems but never call me back and I'm sick to call them again because no action.
Worst still, since I bought this phone one and half months ago and faxed the CD-Rom request form at first week of April. (No CD Rom in the package when bought) Have called the helpdesk few times alternate week and still getting the same answer-shipment delayed.
Now I'm getting tired waiting for the answer and I don't think they will called me. Feel disappointed with the poor service and looking to buy another model. Can anyone recommend any brand or model that is better than this disppointing phone. Anyway, I like this phone because of its 4 mins recording, otherwise....
Thanks for reading and hope to hear from u soon. Have a nice day ahead.

thanx guys..but when tranfer by infrared completes it asks whether i want to store it in mmc card or phone memory..but i think maybe while transferring it firsts stores it in phone and then when transfer is complete it gives options...one thing more is data cable faster or infrared or bluetooth

if you are having problems connecting your 6230 to PC via Bluetooth, and you have Bluetooth hardware (cards, dongles) equipped with Widcomm software (MSI, TDK etc).
Try the following tip:
Open your Windows registry in Registry editor: Menu Start -> Run -> type "Regedit"
locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Widcomm\BTConfig\Services\0004 key
locate AcceptOther entry
change its value from 0 to 1
reboot your computer.... enjoy BT to the max!
Additonal: for USB Dongles- if you still can not connect, try putting your dongle in USB port 0 (zero) or the very 1st USB port... i think this also works with 3650, 6600, 7650, etc.

I think when u transfer the files via infrared, it will be saved by default to the phone memory. To use the MMC memory for the MP3s and pictures, u have to save them from your computer via USB.
Does anyone here listen to the MP3 and experience skipping of the tracks in the same song? (I'm referring to MP3 player, not MP3 as a ringtone)
- ted

6230 MAJOR BUGS & QUIRKS and HOW TO FIX
- CALLER GROUP BUG
- Do a quick factory re-set: go to MENU-> Settings-> Restore Factory Settings->
Enter Code: 12345 (12345 is stand. default Nokia sec. code for all Nokia phones)
- CAN NOT DELETE FILE BUG
- If you go to Gallery and you can not delete a file in any of the folders
just RE-START the phone (turn OFF and turn ON)- works on other quirks as well
- NOKIA PC SUITE (NOT A BUG, but a mojor issue to some)
- Nokia PC Suite V.5.8 is more stable compared to the V.6.0 in general (others will disagree)
- Can not install Nokia PC Suite? Download and run Nokia Register Cleaner 1st
- PC connection via BT varies from different BT dongles being used,
- some BT quirks have been fixed just by changing the USB port (Fill it out Guys!)
6230 MP3 & SOUND GOODIES
- Plays Normal MP3 and Nokia AAC, iTUNE AAC can not be played
- Use Nokia Multimedia Manager (PC Suite) for RIPPING CD tracks and downloading files
- MP3/AAC Files can be downloaded direct to the phone's MMC via IR & BT using N. Multimedia Manager or N. Phone Browser
- You can RUN MUSIC PLAYER and play games, download files, browse your phone etc,
sort of multi-tasking capability
- Music Player STOPS when you receive a call, end the call and the music resumes,
- Make a call music stops and resume thereafter
- Handsfree SPEAKER is LOUD!!! (IMO, louder than 6600, and P900)
- RINGTONE for calls, txt, can be AAC/MP3 or MIDI Tones,
but can not assign to individual Contacts
- HDS-3 Pop-Port Headset is very good for music
- With your full charge battery, run MP3 for 8 to 10 hours and it will not be drained
even with calls (but your ears will hurt for sure)
- Fastest way to fill MMC cards with MP3/AAC is via USB MMC Card Readers,
or built-in SD/MMC Card Readers/Drive Slot
- MP3/AAC can be used for ALARM CLOCK Sound (so is radio),
but appointment alarm is the same boring Nokia mono-tone
- Nokia Sound Converter can convert general MIDI to Nokia Scalable Polyphonic
- CONVERTING MP3 ---> AAC, well, I'm still looking for something free
6230 VIDEO GOODIES
- 4 MINUTES FULL VIDEO RECORDING with sound (about 2MB file size)
- Recorded video clips are comparable to 6600 and P900, IMO
- CONVERT VIDEO to 3GPP via Nokia Multimedia Converter:

6230 SCREEN
- LIKE SMALLER 6600 screen, bright and crisp
- Viewable in INDOORS & OUTDOORS
- Turn off the phone and you see a line on the screen- this is NORMAL
- WATCH OUT FOR DEAD PIXELS!!! (check 1st before buying)
- Customizable SCREEN SAVER & WALLPAPER
- NO Brigthness, NO Contrast Controlls for the screen
- Contrast for pictures is for viewing only,can not be saved
6230 BLUETOOTH
- Best Nokia BT implementation so far- BT is for data & sound
- Battery last longer, connection with BT Headsets is a breeze
- Known BT headsets that works like a charm: Jabra BT200/250, SE HBH-60/65, BlueTreck G2, Plantronics 3000 (please add...)
- Voice Dial via BT is superb, tested with Jabra BT200 (better than SE - very subjective and IMHO)
- It is NORMAL to hear phone key clicks once BT headset is paired w/ phone- all phone sounds transferred to BT
- BT headset will connect automatically to phone if it was out of range for a while
- Disconnect BT headset 1st before turning off BT on phone or the phone itself
- Do the opposite & you will need to connect BT headset again to phone
6230 RF & VOICE QUALITY
- Superb! RF comparable to 3650, 6310i, 3530, 3595 and great voice quality
- Reported ECHO- varies form phone to phone. If major issue,return ASAP
6230 BATTERY
- REMOVE MMC card, standby time can last 2 weeks- depending on actual use
- MMC IN, standby is less than a week
- Take VIDEOS & PICS and you will be happy if it last you the whole day
