6610 question

kinkstr

I have an old 6610 here and ive just been messing with it and my t630, ie trying to send a ringtone/pic from the t630 to the 6610 but all im getting is connection failed, ive seen similar things happen to nokias when trying to transfer through infra red, am i right in thinking that the 6610 isnt capable of recieving data from another phone and that it is only capable of transfering from a computer

I don't think the T630 has infra-red ! - *Edit*no sorry it does ! *Edit*

And I transfered files from a SE K500i to a Nokia 3200 no problem.

the t630 has infra red and bluetooth, ive sent data to a 3200 without any problems, its the 6610 that is the problem, the other nokia which i had the same problem was a 7210

edit/ just seen you edited your post lol

ranDom_tAsk

lol.

You can test the infra-red on a phone turning it on then looking at it trough a digital camera.

Check that.

ive sent data to it though a mates laptop which had infra red, its just wen i try and connect to another phone

what you mean you can check it by looking through a digital camera

If you activate the infra-red on a mobile phone and look at the infra-red port trough a digital camera screen you'll see a white flashing light, that means it's working !

It's the same with a TV remote control. Just point it at the camera and press a button on the remote

ive just tried that with my t630 and the 6610 and nothing happened, where did you get this information from, i demand answers

What did you use to do the test ? ie did you use a digital camera ?

Even look at it through a phone camera!
Any digital camera picks up an IR signal as a white light

Some nokias cant recieve files.But you can send bus cards via irda.I dont think the 6610 is compatible with transfering via irda to another mobile.Just like the 6100,7210 etc,

wolfman

Nokia annoyingly seemed to disable the sending & receiving of multimedia type items, such as tones, pictures etc between phones, so as to boost the MMS market for providers!

There are a few exceptions. If you have a laptop or PC with IR and Data Suite you can use it, or I found before that they will transmit to a PDA or receive from one?

kinkstr

I had a feeling thats what was going on, thanx for all the info guys

wolfman

No problems

RoadSweeper

is it not that the 7210 can send pictures to other 7210's only? and like wise for the 6100? and 6610?

Barrie

No the "send"via irda is disabled for all types of files bar bus cards.

RoadSweeper

how about the 6610i?

kinkstr

im taking a guess but id say the 6610i suffers from the same annoying problem

Barrie

Not too sure,Only one way to find out.

RoadSweeper

whats that then?

kinkstr

find someone with a 6610i and ask them

That is by far the coolest thing I am going to learn this week!
Why was I not informed sooner?
