Infrared help needed, please.

[Rob]

I was with a friend who has the 6200 and I have the 6620 but we were unable to send pics and ringtones between the phone with the infrared feature.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure that da IR ports are near each oder, and dat the connectivity feature is set 2 Infrared!

 

[Rob]

I did that and it still does not work.
thanks for the help, any thing else?

I had a similar problem with my laptop. I send ringtones and pics to my 3200 via my laptops infrared with no problems. But my mums 7210i & my dads 6100 cant recieve anything. Anyone know why?

 

[Mark]

IR is always causin problems, i dont like it at all!

You literally have 2 have 2 fones ports nearly touchin!!

 

[Rob]

OK, I'm fedup with this infrared BS...

I have tried all distances, types of files, photos, contacts, everything and I even read on the nokia site that 36 inches is prefered and nothing.

If anyone has a reccomendation I would appreciate it.

I have the 6620 and 6200...

Im not sure about when transferring between 2 phones, but from my laptop to my 3200, my phone is usually 6 inches from the port, and not straight in line either.

 

[Mark]

I dont get it! The only thing i can tink of is, da connectivity settin in da recievin fone set to Infrafred and da ports pointing towards each other!

 

[Rob]

Ok to make sure I'm pointing the correct things at each other. Please take a look and tell me if I circled the wrong part on the phones.

thank you.

The IR ports on da comps would be stronger so u can go a bit away, but i always have 2 put da fones right up 2 each oder!

HELLO!!!

Did u read my post?? U CANNOT use the IR on the 6200 to send/recieve ANYTHING from another phone.. u can only send/receive via a computer.

 

[Rob]

I guess I'll try putting the phones next to each other...

thanks for the tips.

 

[Rob]

Oh... so sorry...

But can the 6620 send to other nokia phones with the infrared ?
thanks.

 

[Mark]

[Mark]

6620 can send to the newer generation of Nokia phones, such as 6230, 3200, 6600, 7610 etc etc.. but NOT the olde generation, such as 7250, 6610, 6200 etc etc

 

[Trekker56]

The IR in the older s40 phones like 6200/7250/7210 etc is CRIPPLED.. meaning u can only send pics/tones to it via a computer and not via another device (pda, phone etc). The IR in newer s40 phones like 3200/6230 etc is NOT CRIPPLED and can send/receive pics/tones from other devices as well as a computer.
