6500 Slide new firmware 9.60

It seems there's new software out today, version 9.60 for the 6500 slide.
I'm currently on v8.30. Has anyone updated and can tell me of any new features, bugs, etc?
My last post on this got deleted for some reason - mods, do not delete without telling me why!
Thanks,
Jon.

I upgraded - make sure you do back up as it wipes everything & restores to basics (even pre loaded files, themes were back)
Have not found any benefits, but a retrograde step is (as older phones) you are now limited again to 50 members in a group! I only worked this out because PC suite did not restore all contacts - when I tried adding again got an error message
Raise with Nokia but, as usual, got standard response - showing they had not actually read my question

  • Nokia 6500 Slide (0561720) firmware 8.30 Bugs

    Hi, some weeks ago I updated my Nokia's firmware and found a bug.
    Bluetooth UMTS- modem stopped working.
    I'm using my Laptop to connect via Bluetoot to my Nokia and surfing with Vodafone flatrate.
    Now I've updated to 9.60 and have still the same problem.
    Now another bug is new.
    The phone is getting slower and slower by navigating in the menu.
    I think I should take it back to Nokia and tell them to downgrade it to V6.60 witch  was working fine!
    What do you think?
    Marcel

    After some reboots the bluetooth modem is now working again, but the phone is still very slow.
    Very annoying.

    Hi, I've noticed that the new firmware version 10.00
    for the Nokia 6500s1 (6500 Slide) RM-240 is out.
    Does anyone have an idea what is new in this version
    and they've fixed in this version?

    It's still not listed at the site, butt it's out there.
    I've got the update by using nokia software updater.
    When *#0000# is entered in the main screen of
    my nokia 6500 slide it comes with a screen that reports this:

    It's still a pitty that there is still no information aviable for
    this firmware version, they need to be more open about it.

  • Nokia 6500 slide problem after updated to firmware...

    Hi, I have recently updated my nokia 6500 slide with the latest firmware version 9.40. I realise that after the upgrade, my phone encounters problem reading the SD memory card. It happens intermittently, sometimes you see, sometimes you don't. Initially I thought it was due to my memory card but after replacing it with a new one, problem still occurs.

    It looks like something on your system caused the updater to crash.
    Unfortunately your only option for that model is to take it to a nokia care point for repair. Tere's nothing else that you can do for it.
    Care points/service centres and repair info:
    UK • Europe • Asia-Pacific • USA •
    Canada • Middle East and Africa
    Elsewhere: Click here, select your country, go to the support section, then select repair.

  • Charging a New 6500 Slide

    Handbook suggest around 90 ,but I'm hearing 16 hours to charge a drained (brand new) battery? Is there a problem with the 6500 slide? After an hour of charging I removed the lead and the phone is dead! New phone arrived this morning. Something seems amiss!
    Any ideas

    A new battery requires a 3 full charge & discharge cycles before it attain it's full power. It takes 2hrs more or less depends on charger & phone model. If you put it on charge for an hour & removing it make the phone dead, its either the battery or the phone power circuitry is defective.
    Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
    If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

  • Orange 6500 Slide Firmware change.

    Hello,
    I bought an unlocked Orange Nokia 6500 Slide without knowing about the Firmware. It is completely hideous. I'd like to have the standard Nokia Frimware.
    Could anyone help me with this?
    Help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you for your time! :-)

    If you get written consent from the operator in question, a Nokia service point may be able to flash the phone with the standard Nokia software. Note, however, that they aren't required to do this by Nokia and so may not do.
    Any other method that may exist would invalidate the warranty - we are not allowed to discuss that sort of thing here.

  • 6500 SLIDE THE WORST PHONE EVER!

Because I had so many problem on this phone, 2 weeks when I just had the phone screen when white blank on me while im talking on the phone or text message then several months later phone start to be slow till the phone I can't even play any music on my phone.

    Hi,
    Have you updated your phone? There is a new version for it - v8.30. You can check your current version by pressing *#0000# on the standby screen.
    Try updating your phone's firmware by clicking to this link below:
    http://europe.nokia.com/A4579163
    Make sure you meet the system requirements before proceeding and backup some of your important contents.
    If the phone still does not show any improvement, I suggest you to send the phone to the Nokia Care Centre near you.
    Good luck

  • Nokia 6500s Slide 'handsfree' query

    Hi
    I'd like some help with the problem I have with my Nokia 6500s Slide please. When using the phone on it's own without any bluetooth h/free connected, the speech is very clear on incoming and outgoing calls.
    Ok, I've had the phone for a week or so and up until now, it has done what I've asked of it but today I paired up my JABRA 250 BlueTooth and that went ok. The 6500 Slide is set to answer automatically after 5 seconds. I then got my wife to call me and the Jabra 250 automatically picked up the call but there was crackling in the headset and I also get this when I am changing options in the phone menu, the confirmation beep is crackly in the headset.
    I've used this JABRA 250 with a few other Nokia models including the 6230, 6300 and also a couple of Motorola models and all of them were fine - i.e. no crackling/interference in the headset.
    So I'm just wondering if this is only a problem with the phone when I connect a bluetooth handsfree device or, is it a problem with the Jabra 250?
    Regards
    brave_heart

    Hi radical24
    Thanks for your response.
    I've had the phone a couple of weeks or so and apart from the bluetooth headset issue, it works fine so I've not updated the firmware as yet.
    The firmware as shown by the phone is:
    v 08.30
    03-07-08
    RM-240
    Variant: 62.07
    With reference to the JABRA 250 BT device, it's right that with every other phone (which have been mostly Nokia), it has worked flawlessly but, it must be around three to four years old now, so it could be breaking down?
    I would like to update the firmware but I need to know that the latest firmware is ok and worth updating to and, before I would update, my son is bringing round his newer JABRA 250 for me to try and if that works fine, then my JABRA must be faulty.
    On the other hand, if shows the same problems, I may consider a firmware update.
    Is the Nokia PC Suite ok to use?
    Regards

  • Nokia 6500 Slide Software Update

    I purchased the Nokia 6500 Slide phone at Christmas. I was having a problem with receiving photos and telephoned Nokia. They asked me the version of software on the phone - think it's 3.8. I was told it needed updating to the 4.84 version. I was given the name of a local Nokia Engineer who would be able to do this for me. I have contacted the company and have been told that they would be happy to do this for me, but I would have to leave the phone with them for two days.
    Having just read some comments on a website it seems the latest version is in fact 6.60 but there appear to be conflicting views on the software.
    Can anyone please advise me whether I am safer sticking with the original software on the phone or having it updating to the 4.84 version - what are the advantages of the new software?
    Many thanks
    Casselle

    Hi there Hamraam, been reading this thread and if you continue to have the problems with your phone, I would suggest taking your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre for them to take a look at. That is strange that calendar entries and personalised settings are not being restored to your phone after the update.
    It is unlikely that Nokia will release another firmware update for the 6500 Slide. It was released in October 2006 or thereabouts, same as the 5610 XpressMusic, and with the release of newer models, the support cycle for the 6500 Slide has most likely ended with the release of the last update, 10.00, for unbranded product codes of the handset. 
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • Can't pair Windows 7 PC with 6500 slide using blue...

    I am having problems connecting my Nokia 6500 slide to my new PC with Windows 7 using bluetooth. I am able to connect one time after installing Ovi Suite and sync with outlook, but when I try a second time, it can't connect to the phone. Reboot doesn't help.
    I also tried to uninstall Ovi Suite and install PC Suite, but the exact same thing happened.
    The IT department at the company I work for have not heard of similar issues.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    BR Jakob Carlsen

    It seems that connection and sync is working until I try to use the Nokia Phone Browser under Win 7. After that the phone becomes unreachable via Bluetooth.
    Phones firmware is on the latest version 10.0.0

  • Security Code 6500 slide

    I don't remember chnaging the security code on my new 6500 slide, i want to clear my message log and it asks for security code, i put in the defaulf 12345 and it gives me "code error". can anybody help? thks

    Don't try this too often. If you enter an incorrect security code 10(?) times, it locks the phone leaving a re-flash of the firmware at a care point to be the only solution.
    In fact, if you don't remember the security code then that will be your only solution anyway.
    If you do take it to an NCP, remember to provide proof of purchase demonstrating that you are the owner of the phone.

    How does the 6500 slide hard reset?
    That's simple.
    All you have to do is:
    From MENU goto SETTINGS, When there scroll down and select 'Restore Factory Setting'.
    There are two options in there:
    "Restore Settings only"
    and
    "Restore all"
    Select "Restore All"
    When done the phone will delete every thing on the Phone memory(C:\)(contacts,picture,messages etc)
    and also restore phone to its original settings and will restart.
    This proceedure is mostly common on S40 phone.
    Hope this explain and solve the problem.
