Nokia 7650 questions

Glen · 17-01-2003, 11:18

Can you get rid of that silly 'click-click' sound when you take photos as it's begining to annoy me now (and it makes it too obvious when you try to discretely take a photo of someone)?

I've not got and IR for my PC yet, but when I do is it possible to unlock the phone so I can use my Vodafone SIM?

I'm sure I'll have some more questions once I've played around with it a bit more.

I found the answer to my first question - the camera sound comes under 'warning tones' in the profiles - but anyone know if I can unlock it?

Doubt you'll be able to unlock it via IR. It may be possible to unlock it using a data cable and the appropriate software. Try your local independant mobile phone shop, or alternatively there's usually people at the computer fairs who can do this for a small fee.

No phone can be unlocked via IR. However, codes can be entered to unlock the phone, you will have to pay around £15 for the code. Let me know if you want more information about this.

I didn't think I'd be able to unock it with the IR - it's just there is no data port, only connectivity via IR and Bluetooth. I suppose the only option is to pay Orange for the code, but I'm not that bothered really, I just wanted to know if it was possible.

No, Orange don't give you a code to unlock it. In fact, Orange won't even let you unlock it. If you want it unlocking I can recommend you someone. I've used him many times and has references so he won't rip you off or anything like that.

I thought most networks did if you paid them (about £30?). Do Virgin still give it for free if you ask?

legally the networks must unlock the phone for you. they are more than welcome to charge though!!

Dips · 18-01-2003, 00:54

I don't think they'll unlock it in the first year though. I'm pretty sure they will charge a bit too.

So I can connect my phone to my PC would I be best using IR or Bluetooth? BT has the obvious advantage of being more flexible and not needing to be right next to each other and I could move the phone around whilst remaining connected - but I read that not many BT devices are compatible with Nokia PC Suite.
I would also want to be able to use it with LogoManager so I can send logos and ringtones to other people directly from LM through the phone (which I currently do with the data cable and my 5210).
Has anyone had any experience using Nokia PC Suite with Bluetooth and can LogoManager be used with Bluetooth at all?

Virgin will send you the codes to unlock your phone as long as you have spent £30 in calls.

PC Suite & XP is a pain. It's not supported by Nokia but it does work. I have used BT & IR, BT is more versatile & not just because of the range either, go to Scan or gone in 24h, they do the MSI PC2PC one for about £30 ish, although they do daily specials & it appears on there quite often.

BTW Anyone know where I can get the Skypower BT combo-pack headset from???
