i tried to send a pic file from a 3660 to a N6100...

BUT it always failed. I tried by IR. Any reasons?

Thanks
Ash

Hi.
I have nokia 6610.
I know ur prob.
U cant send pic files from n3660 to n6100 bcoz n6100 is runing on Series 40 while n3660 is runing on Series60 (Symbian operating system in handphone).
Only Series 60++ allows u to send a pic files via IrDa.
So u cant send pic files from n3660 to n6100.
However,u can try send it via MMS, or send to pic to a PC then send it back to n6100.

it's not because it's a series40 or series60 phone. The fact is that Nokia " tuned down " the IR on older series40 phones. That means that things like sending and receiving pictures and ringing tones are disabled. I can send a pic or ringtone from my 6230 to a friend's 6220 ( both are " newer versions " of Series40 ) but i can't send it to my gf's 6100. Sending and receiving things to/from series60 isn't a problem, that just works.

so, does that mean i still can't transfer files from my phone to/from a series 60 phone?

Yeah, Nokia Series 40 cannot send anything via IR except business card unless the other device has the PC Suit or something installed...

The only one so far taht can do this is the 6230 I think...

I' agree with Dcell. It's not because one is series 60 and the other's a S40. I' have a N3650 and my son has a SE-T300 (and it's not even symbian), and We can transfer pic's via Ir all day if we want. Must be some thing else wrong with your phone?

if you want it directly it's not possible unless you use MMS. Indirectly u can use some pc programs like Nokia PC suite to transfer files from your 6100 to pc and then transfer it via the pc to a series60 phone.

I thought 6220 can also send by IR ( not 100 % sure ). It can receive anyway as i tried with a friend. And 7250i can transfer files by IR too if i am correct ( also not 100% sure :P ) The other Series40 phone can't transfer files by IR ( with exception of 6230 )

i think this feature (sending Phone to phone by IR) is possible with all series 40 version 2, at this moment 6230 and 5140 has got this OS. don't know about 6220 or 7250i

I think n6220 is Series 45, like the n7600.

the 6230 is series 40 version 2.
Not series 60... a series 60 device is like the nokia 6600, 7610 and like the 3660, the N-gage...
