Hi, I recently purchased a Nokia 6630, since purchasing this phone I have had problems after problems with it. These problems include:

1. The phone locks up
2. The phone does not allow me to make a phone call
3. The phone does not allow me to send text messages
4. The orange home screen cannot be switched off
5. Keypad lights do not work
When the keypad dont work the applications dont work properly!!

(not got a virus on the phone.....i formated the phone to factory conditions and still got these problems)

anyone had problems like these???

are there any solutions???

please please help me!!!

(dont read this and not reply.......please help)

thanks in advance

I think this may be an "Orange" problem, I hear they have loaded their own firmwares into this phone.

I have a 6630 on "3" it works perfectly all the time, after 3 months use it hasn't had any problems at all.

i have my 6630 for almost a year and has no problem 'til now in Vodafone Portugal...

maybe a problem with the operator or a production defect....

It's a network locked I guess.

nah its works fine, these problems happen with any sim

What is "nah" anyway? Sorry for my bad English. So the problem because of the SIM card or network locked?

nah, means no! i know the phone is faulty not the sim or network

update ur firmware

and as for the orange screen, yes your phone is locked to orange, and uses the orange software. only way is to disable that screen is to flash your phone with generic nokia software

nah, means no! i know the phone is faulty not the sim or network

Back to Orange and get it replaced then!

the biggest problem with the nokia 6630's sold on the orange website at present is they have the orange homescreen and orange firmware 5.03.08 same as current generic. this means it cannot be flashed to generic only updated to the next one. the only version above is t-mobile.

But thre's a new firmware right? V 6.03.08.

6.050308 is the new one, flashed my 6630 with it today.

anybody tell me where to download Nokia 6630 firmware

you cant do the upgrade yourself, you have to take it to a nokia service centre.

No, he can but he must have expensive tools, good brain, legal s/w. Same as doing it at home :)

expensive tools

How is £140 Sterling expensive?

Griffin box last time I know its $170 but I dunno now.
