      Sorry for the late reply.

      I seldom use the IR feature of the phone coz bluetooth is much better. I done quite a lot of business card sending to and from my old 6610. No problem. Not long ago I also did transfer few mp3 (don't think I wanna do it again coz it's so slow) to a SE phone. Not sure was it K300i.

      Anyway, it's hard to say what's the actually problem. But may I know what files r u sending to these phones u mentioned? Is there any remarks or error warning/statement appear? If yes what does it says?

      For info, u won't be able to send .sis .jar .mid by nature coz they r considered protected files.

      BTW, 6230 has bluetooth, why bother using IR?Or U just testing is it?

              many if not all nokia 3230s have a VERY low ringtone on them. it doesnt matter if you change the tone, the volume, the settings, nothing helps. i took mine to the nokia service centre today who upgraded the firmware but told me the speaker problem is common to all 3230s, basically the speaker cover cuts out the sound. so i returned home slightly annoyed to put it mildly, and seeing as the bloke had buggered up the catch a bit i decided to have a go myself. no doubt someone will tell me this was a bad thing to do but it has solved my problem totally and i now have loud ringtones.

              1 on the back of the phone above the camera lens, you will need a thin sharp (but not brittle) instrument to lever the top part of the cover open. put implement in the gap just above the camera lens and lift up slighly, the catch will pop and you can pull the top cover off.

              2 with tweezers remove the tiny mesh covering off the speaker, pop the plastic cover back on and problem solved.

              obv i will be keeping the nokia in a skin case now as i dont want dust to get into the unprotected speaker

                          TC,

                          Thanks a lot for your tip. Know what, it did work! I knew there was something wrong in the settings but I just didn't know where to adjust it. =P Thanks soooo much! I have another question though if you don't mind. My phone's IR port doesn't work at all with my SE K500i, and I've tried it too on a Siemens CX65, Panasonic x70, and Nokia 6230. It can't receive or send. Dyou think there's something wrong with the phone itself or there's a setting which I have to activate again? What I do is turn on the IR from Menu then Connectivity. A flashing IR icon is displayed on the mainscreen after I do so. Watchathink? I might have to go back to the store where I bought it from. =(

                          Opinions from other 3230 phone users are very much welcome.

                              value for your money
                              it's a durable phone
                              but the down side is tha mono mp3
                              and can't play mpeg 4 formats
                              but it's worth it

                                its hard to use w/ small keypads, sound is very bad (mono) its like a transistor radio.
                                camera not good it doesnt have the functions of a real digital camera, memory card 32 mb, 7610 has 64mb, downgraded memory, internal memory 6 mb yet 7610 has 8 mb internal memory still downgraded, its 1.3 megapixel camera not that much difference w/ a nokia phone w/ 1 megapixel camera.

                                      Angel, try this

                                      Goto messaging --> Option --> Settings -->Multimedia message --> Image Size. Change it to large if it is small and see if this does the trick.

                                        hi peeps! i have a question. i've had this phone for a month now and i don't think i really know all its features already. well, my problem has something to do with sending mms messages. whenever i use the camera, i use either the basic format (640 x 480) or the normal one (1280 x 960). then i send it to my e-mail address by opening the pic from the gallery then select send via mms, then i enter the e-mail addy. problem is when the pictures are already in the pc (downloaded) or even when they are still in my mailbox, the resolution becomes 160 x 120. i am quite disappointed. is there a setting that i should change in my phone or i am simply not doing things right? i bought this phone because of its camera's high resolution only to encounter this problem. i am frustrated. i've had a sony ericsson phone and i didn't have a problem like this.

                                        your opinions are greatly appreciated!
