Nokia 6230 MP3 bug

Hello, Just wondering if anybody else has this problem: My 6230 came with a MP3 song on the MMC card. However it, and other MP3s which I have copied accross, skip around every 10 seconds and sometimes the phone crashes. Even when an MP3 is assigned as a ring tone it skips. I am using the 32MB MMC card that came with the phone. - Andrew __________________ just look at all the forums you'll see that alot of people are complaining about it. i think this is an expencive lesson for you. never buy such a thing when its new on the market. and also listen to the reviews before it hits the market. __________________ I don't have such problems.... __________________ I also dont have that problem but I use AAC format, I use small Mp3 clips for a Message tone alerts . Maybe the cause of skipping is due to transfering of files via faulty bluetooth connection, bad MMC reader/writer (have one of those and its sending my n6230 corrupt files even files that are there but can't be seen in the phomes menu), or bad data cable. The mp3 "Strange Transmissions" that came with the MMC plays smoothly, but if it really skips no matter what you do, better take it to the nokia service center hopefully you got warranty. __________________ I don' have any problem of that kind either. And I was one of the first to get my hands on it.. __________________ Also had my phone for a few weeks with no mp3 skipping problems. i put a 128mb card in last week before my trip to the USA and filled it with mp3s all 128k 44.1k and no probs. Filled the phone memory with videos and photos ive been taking while away.. and have started saving photos and videos straight to card now... and no problems.. Cheers. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by bart just look at all the forums you'll see that alot of people are complaining about it. i think this is an expencive lesson for you. never buy such a thing when its new on the market. and also listen to the reviews before it hits the market. i question the "it" that you say everyone is complaining about (unless it's at esato! ), most of the problems i see are either once off problems or minor bugs, the major bugs that seem to be reported so far are the caller id bug, and gallery bug As far as i can see, with the MMC card compatibility issue it is unfair to blame it on the 6230. It's like bringing a PC formatted disc and expecting it to work on a MAC. As with the problem JensonF1 is describing, is every song skipping like that? How was the mp3s encoded? How was the MMC card formatted ps. Bart: the person asked a question, please be more constructive and try to help the person instead of your dumb ranting __________________ what mmc compatibility issue? if you're talking about PC not finding it, that was solved, just rename the MMC in 6230's gallery and PC will see it. and caller id bug? what's that? __________________ the music player cannot detect the MP3 songs if I store the MP3 songs in the newly created folder in the MMC card, anyone also has this experience ?? __________________ Quote: Originally posted by lu.lu. the music player cannot detect the MP3 songs if I store the MP3 songs in the newly created folder in the MMC card, anyone also has this experience ?? that happens to me too, the music player can only see music files that are in the "music file" folder and MMC directory and cannot see past the sub folders. __________________ you must store this in the root only __________________ i have a 128 mb mmc card on my 6230 and it works just fine, experienced no problems so far. however when i set an mp3 from the mmc card as the ringtone i experience a short delay. copying the mp3 ringtone from mmc to the phones main memory pool fixes the delay problem. i guess it takes time for the phones main processor to pick up the ringtone from a 128 mmc card, but hey this is not a pentium 4, and i guess we should keep our expectations at a reasonable level __________________ Quote: Originally posted by Mainframe AI what mmc compatibility issue? if you're talking about PC not finding it, that was solved, just rename the MMC in 6230's gallery and PC will see it. The issue i'm talking about is the same issue as with the 6600, certain brands of MMC cards do not work so well with the 6230, eg. on certain brands mp3 ringtones don't work, etc, i assume these are the "bugs" Bart always mentions but never specify please refer to this thread: http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...hreadid=351248 Quote: Originally posted by Mainframe AI and caller id bug? what's that? i meant the caller group bug, but i believe there's a fix for that with the new firmware or doing a master reset __________________ Yes there are a few bugs, even on the one I tried out today. No hardware problems... nothing that a few firmware upgrades can't sort out. But it's a shame that it had so many problems, especially since it took so long for it to come out. Think how bad it would have been if it hit the shelves in Early February like Nokia said it would!? Mavi forum
