Have you contacted the manufacturer for support? After all they made that
thing and should know how to work it.

hello

the ebay seller gave me some urls, no help
the drivers i got from him seem to install well, but pc suite from nokia
does not connect to the phone
that is : i get a usb cable over the com3 port

either oxygen phone manager : no connection

more info : it seems it is not a prolific cable, as seen in the registry

i'm losing hope... so i'll have to spend another 50 euro for the original
nokia cable !!


thanks for any additional help you may have

You're better off with a generic infrared adaptor.

No problems with connectivity, Nokia PC suite will work fine, as will most
other progs, eg Logomanager, Oxygen.

-mark

yeah, stumbled on this idea today
it is called a dongle which you symply put in the usb port ?
no drivers ???

Not sure what good a dongle will be with a 7250i as, as far as I know, it
doesn't connect to anything dongleish.

When I had a 7250i I tried using a non branded cable and it wouldn't work
for me either. Bought a proper Nokia one and all was well. Logic says that
there's not anything which can be done to a cable to make one sort work and
another not (other than cutting it, of course) yet, the proof was in the
connecting.

It's got IR, so an IR dongle would be a far cheaper (and easier) option than
fannying about with third party cables.

driver, and the oxygen phone manager trial version

can anyone now give a good reason why the nokia pc suite IS NOT seeing my
cable/phone ?

tnx, rgds
pino

Nokia don't like you using after market accessories, so if it is using a
different chip set PC Suite wont see it.

Because PC Suite doesn't like certain DKU-5 cloned cables. This has been a
problem since the very first clones appeared so you need to be sure of your
supplier if buying a clone, or pay a stupid amount for a genuine DKU-5. If
the phone has other connectivity options (IR, BT etc) I'd go that route
instead personally.

the cable is a cheap copy, so i only cab use it with oxygen phone manager,
temporarilyu trhe free version, or pay 29 euro for the full version

you tip is to buy a (cheap) USB to IR and have the Nokia suite free

does anyone know the difference in Nokia suite and OPM ? onn possibilities,
stability ?

tnx

That would be the best suggestion, yes.

The main one is that PC-Suite is free. Oxygen is far more versatile but the
licensing is restrictive when compared to PC-Suite, the interface is still
very cluttered but it seems stable enough. It's all a question of if you
need the extra features Oxygen provides and if the cost is a worthwhile
investment for you.

1. ProLific PL-2303 isn't DKU-5 cable. DKU-5 cables are always and only
Nokia production.
2. You can use this cable only for data synchronization ( modem functions
doesn't work for this cable) with Oxygen Phone Manager II (
http://www.opm-2.com/ ). In our program in 'Tools' -> 'Options' ->
'Connection and common' -> 'Connection' -> 'Add port' you should set virtual
COM port from 'Control panel' -> 'System' -> 'Hardware' -> 'Device
manager' -> 'Ports COM and LPT' (it has 'ProLific USB to Serial bridge'
sign ). Set cable's type as 'DLR-3/DLR-3p'. Don't set 'DKU-5' option ( it
works only with Nokia original cables ).

Note: ProLific cables may not transfer correctly or transfer at all MMS,
JAVA, poly-tones and color images information. ProLific cable connection
voids your phone's warranty.

You can download the latest free trial of Oxygen Phone Manager II here:

http://www.opm-2.com/download/opm2.zip

If you have any questions and/or suggestions, concerning our
program, feel free to post them on our official forum
http://www.opm-2.com/forum/

I have had similar problems with DKU-5 / Nokia 6100 / SOny Vaio
notebook. Took couple days of trying to load/unload all settings and
finally I read all info on Nokia's website and installation guide.
Problem was solved immediately if one follows the instructions
correctly in sequence:
Do not connect DKU-5 first
Load Cable driver
Load Modem driver
Re-start PC
Connect DKU-5
It is recognized and installs correctly
Re-start PC
Then load Nokia Suite software

It should work fine.
