Nokia 6256I Stripped?
Is it something I'm doing wrong or did Verizon strip the 6256I of everything including the wallpaper? The only thing on my phone is 2 wallpaper choices, Verizon and Verizon! No games (suppose to have 2), no Infared connection. What's going on???
...
No infrared?? Mine's got it.. go to the menu, choose Connectivity. Y'all should see
Bluetooth
Infrared
USB data transfer (this last choice is grayed out, i guess 'til you connect a cable up to the phone)
On the games, I don' know, haven't looked, 'cus cellphone games r a joke to me (prefer Gameboy Advance).
Wallpapers.. I got only 2 jus' like you, plus some dumb 'clip art'. Got 'round it pretty easily though.. jus' took a beautiful pic o' the ocean, set it as my wallpaper. Done.
There's also a site i saw where you can download some simple 'gradient' wallpapers fo' the 6256.. guess it depends on yo' taste whether you like 'em:

Have yo used the infared? It's on mine but when I tried to use it it would not connect. I called Verizon tech and they told me I had to use a cable.

Haven't used it. Don' really have anything I'd use it with.. my el cheapo laptop an' printer don' have infrared.
I'd call Nokia, not VZW tech. Its a new phone, an' not carried by Verizon corp stores.. Nokia'd probably know more 'bout it.
...
ive used it and yep it works i took all my pics from my nokia 6170 ...and put them on my 6256i ...then i put all the ones i have taken and put them on my laptop ...just gotta make sure the lil sensor lines up with the sensor on the other item you are trying to link ...and you cant be to far away or it wont work
...
You would still have to initiate IrDA connection on the device you are trying to connect to from the phone...

Infrared worked flawlessly without a cable for me - downloaded contacts.

So its confirmed it does work. Good ta know, since eventually I may get an infrared device.

and whatever idiot at verizon told you that you needed a cable doesnt know smack about phones ...i mean come on its infared (the same way your remote talks to your tv) ..and you dont need a cable for that

See if this works on getting the games, got this options in the order I give you and let me know if it works for you? Alltel it worked for us but they released a new firm ware update to block but give it a try.
Go to --> Options --> Select options --> Games
Now if you found games then you just do the following to play games
Go to --> games
and thats it, When I say "Go to" I mean the option on the home screen. On the Alltel Version the soft key on the left is the "Go to" button. Hope this helps, if not there then they disabled it.

They stripped it. I can't get the infrared to work either.
Sounds like you got a bad phone - no reason it would be stripped.
...
they didnt strip this phone all the stuff on mine works perfect....the only thing it doesnt have is games and thats prolly cuz verizon wants you to download them from GIN
...
My infrared works. So maybe there is something wrong with your phone. I also cannot find games but really I don't care about games.
