Nokia 6230i: Firmware SMS Bug

    Im just wondering if anyone on here with a 6230i has come across this bug, I have v3.30 of 6230i Firmware on the phone (which is April 21st, from entering *#0000#).

    When entering dots (...) in an sms message if the predictive bar ___ under the dots just covers the last dot and you press the down button in then the phone freezes for a minute and then reboots. Really annoying when you've typed out a long sms message. Also tends to happen just moving around in a long message as well.

    Has anyone else come across this at all, would a firmware update be likely to fix this? Also emailed Nokia but haven't heard anything from them yet?

    Happens to me too, and its not just the down key. If you move too fast around the text then it stalls. Sometimes it reboots, but sometimes if u give it 30 secs to a minute it goes back to the main screen, which is ok.

    It's annoying, but not the worst thing, and otherwise, I haven't found any bugs since I got it in May.

    6230i - anyone using their own mp3 ringtone?
    Mine ascends even though it's set to ringing, so I can miss calls because I don't hear the first 3-4 seconds of ringing - very annoying...
    Apparently it's a "known bug".
    V3.30

    Yeah it is, try setting the ringing volume to 4 rather than 5, I read something about 5 being ascending and 4 being normal, dunno though. If you go to expansys.ie forums there's a lot of info on this bug with loads of people experiencing it.

    Just got an email back from NOKIA support and they are trying to find my nearest NOKIA service center, so hopefully there will be a fix for this.

    I thought the mp3 ascending thing was fixed with that set to 4 but its not, was really annoying me last night when i was in the car and I couldn't hear messages or calls for a while. :mad:
