  • Will Nokia Belle Refresh Update come to Nokia 500 ...

    It's known that Nokia Belle FP1 is available only for Nokia 603, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701 (and newer phones as well). Those devices that won't get the FP1 update are named '1st gen. S^3 devices' for all I know. That's what makes me say that Nokia 500 is a first generation S^3 device - because no massive updates will be available for it anymore.

  • Nokia 500 wi-fi problem

    Hi all. My Nokia 500 can't find any wi-fi connection after Belle upgrade. It won't pass the "searching wi-fi network" message. Really don't know what to do since it should be a simple task. Any ideas?

    Hi weblira
    Welcome to Nokia forum! 
    Try doing a factory reset on your phone. Go to Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone management > Factory settings > Restore, if it will ask for a lock code use 12345 unless changed.
    After the factory reset try to connect to WLAN again. If that will not help you to resolve the issue use Nokia Suite to re-install the software of your phone.

  • Nokia 500 Review on Symbian Belle

    After the update screen went through, I had my fingers crossed, and despite the screen saying “15 minutes remaining,” the update was finished in about 5 minutes.
    Upon startup, there was a line of dots (….) which lighted up on after the other sort of like a loading bar and it was. After the loading came the usual language selection and Ovi suite options (“Create an Ovi Account” “I have an account” and of course “Later.”) after going through the Ovi suite options (literally took 10 seconds) my carrier had charged me about 0.45cents (USD cents) for the tips I had signed up on while I still had Symbian Anna on the device. Nokia suite was installing support software after the phone booted up and after 5 more minutes, I set the date, time and location and I was presented with the home screen. The standard home screen as on other Belle devices with the Flip clock, Ovi Social widget and 4 icons (Camera, contacts, Angry birds [oh yea!] and Maps) at the last widget’s position; at the bottom edge of the screen are menu, call and home screen options. The widgets take a few seconds to load but once they load they don’t lag. The second home screen has “Favorite contacts” widgets and 4 more icons (Messaging, Store, Calendar and Web), the third home screen has a Music player widget and the 4th home screen is blank for the user to customize. Unlike other Nokia/Symbian Belle devices, the Nokia 500 only has 4 home screens as opposed to 6.
    The lock screen is similar to the Anna screen and is only redesigned. The Belle home screen allows usage of a background unlike Symbian Anna’s.
    Now the menu: unlike Symbian Anna, the menu does not have an applications folder so everything is spread out on the home screen creating a mini mess. Luckily, there is an option to create a new folder in which to put your apps in.
    In Symbian Anna, the keypad for ‘Call’ was not very user friendly as the ‘*’ and ‘#’ where not where they would be on a physical alphanumerical keypad, but on Belle, the keypad is identical to the physical one and very responsive.
    Apps:
    While Symbian Anna lagged on the Nokia 500, Nokia Belle is very smooth. I don’t see any major changes with the camera on the 500 and the quality remains the same. There have been some rumors going around about the Nokia 500 getting HD video with the Belle update but these rumors are not true and the Nokia 500 remains with the usual 640p*313p video. While on Symbian Anna, there was no ‘Gallery’ icon but there is one on Symbian Belle and a separate ‘Videos’ icon is there too for easy access to downloaded videos (yes downloaded videos or those NOT taken with the phone’s camera). The angry birds app is a hugely wanted app for the Nokia 500 and is very identical to the computer version. Actually, it IS the computer version in smaller scale. Symbian Belle still allows the user to kill unwanted applications running in the background by holding down the menu key and clicking the ‘X’ icon. Ovi maps on the device is version 3.06 as predicted and even if not version 3.08, it still gets the job done.
    The settings menu is the same and nothing major there too. On Symbian Anna, the Nokia 500 has many themes for different colors but on Symbian/Nokia Belle, the 500 only has one “Nokia Evolve” theme which means the users have to download their own themes for personalization.
    Overall, the icons seem a bit smaller especially on the home screen and this makes the phone look abit tiny which it is. The size was not brought out in Symbian Anna but in Belle we can see how small the screen on the phone is compared to devices like the E7, N8 and Nokia 701.
    With Symbian Belle, the Nokia 500 is able to really show its 1Ghz processor at work and even if it might not be able to play (fancy) 3D games due to the lack of a OpenGL compatible GPU, it can still allow us to play OpenVG games such as “Asphalt 6: Adrenaline” and “Nuke Defender 3D” available from Ovi store.

    Great to see you are a happy user. I have just bought two Nokia 500 phones (another for my wife), upgraded to Belle, and both have the same infuriating problems:
    - system crashes half a dozen times a day without any warning (during calls, browsing, text messaging)
    - if I change the language for text messages, I cannot type anything (SMS) any more
    - when phone goes to sleep, it often won't wake up and I need to remove the battery (after doing this 4-5 times a day one starts to get very frustrated).
    I am very disappointed and cannot recommend the phone to anyone. First Nokia that I feel this way with.

  • Nokia 500 GPS

    I hope this is the right place for this. I have searched the boards for this pertaining to my Nokia 500 GPS. I received this as a gift fo Cristmas and all has been well with it up until a week ago. When the unit is turned on or reset or master power off then on, it comes to the Nokia "Hands almost touching" splash screen with a "thinking" circle and just sits there. It is not toally locked up, as you can go to the main menu and look at a few things, but whatever you look at, it will be interrupted with the same screen, and it never goes any further. You can plug into the compuer and it access just fine as a mass storage device. I checked the maps, as well as the software, which is the latest version. I'm hoping I won't have to send it in after only a month, and instead someone has run into this and can tell me what to do. Thanks for the help, SJ

  • Nokia 500 Auto Navigator -- Navigation License

    I've now searched, everywhere, and send various calls and e-mails to Nokia with NO response, hope somebody can help:
    This device is NOT a phone, it is the Nokia 500 Auto Navigator GPS. Please see on the Nokia web site link http://europe.nokia.com/A4577607 .
    The devise shows the map, current location, and tracks the route traveled, but does not navigate. As soon as I try to select a route, I shows an error on the GPS screen " NO VALID LICENSE FOUND FOR THIS ROUTE". On the device it shows certain profiles and the one I believe to be the Navigation License called NAVI RSA and NAVY EUROPE are locked. I need to know how to either unlock this, or if I need to purchase a navigation license, how do I do this on this GPS devise manufactured and supplied by NOKIA. Again this device is NOT a phone, so I do not have the options of the menus to purchase extra licenses.
    Please assist ASAP, and please do not again refer me back to distibutor Autopage where I purchased the devise, as they can not supply me with any information, and told me several times to contact NOKIA, as they should provide this support.
    Hope to hear from someone soon.
    Solved!

    Why won't you try to online purchase the rest of the navigation you need? I mean, it's possible for the general phone navigation, why it won't for navigations too??

  • Nokia 500 software improvements - my $0.02

    I just bought a Nokia 500, and so far I really like it, but there are a couple of things I would like to either know how to do or see improved/added in future versions (sort of in order of preference). I'm sure I'll have more, but this is what occurs to me after two days of use.
    - support for a US provider of TMC traffic data (e.g. Clear Channel or MSN Direct). MSN uses NAVTEQ, which is owned by Nokia, and MSN service is cheaper, but I don't know if that is something that can be done with a software update - Is it still TMC?
    - automatically turn on FM transmitter when phone rings (or be able to leave it on without having to play music all the time)
    - bluetooth stero headset profile so I can play music off my iphone (I know, iPhone doesn't support their end of this yet either) through the Nokia and into the car radio, still getting the pause for spoken directions
    - Ability to synch contacts with MS Outlook or even with a comma-delimited file and a way to manage contacts better on the device itself (see next item)
    - better contacts synch with non-Nokia phones (again, my iPhone may be the problem here, but I got all the names imported with no associated numbers or addresses). Had to do a factory reset to remove them.
    - Change the keyboard layout to QWERTY
    - better POI database - searching for Target found two - both over 100 miles away, there are probably three dozen of them closer than that. I haven't played with it any more yet, but have read a lot of complaints about this.
    Ability to turn off the voice guidance (maybe can already do this, but haven't found it.
    Entering zip codes doesn't seem to work for me. But it may just be that I'm still not entirely comfortable with the interface.

    my 2 cents
    1. Nokia provides built in TMC in charger and I don't see any reasons why it doesn't work in US.
    2. I'm not sure about turning FM transmitter everytime phone rings, but turning off after 1 min is a big down size, for me at least. You won't be listening silent FM channel in your car and wait when somebody call, and internal speaker is pretty good.
    3. Don't own iPhone and never will own one. Streaming music from your phone might be a good idea if you have music on your phone.
    4. Again, don't use Outlook. So agree with you, it might be nice feature, but not for me.
    5. No problem syncing Motorola Z6. I mean no problem at all. All contacts were synced, perfect calling quality. One of the thing can be done, managing contacts on gps device: adding, editing, removing.
    6. yes, yes, yes! it odd that Nokia builds smart phones with QWERTY keyboard, and ditches it on gps device.
    7. yes! better maps, better pois, regular updates. and do something about weird routing.
    8 and 9. voice doesn't bother me, i can always put volume down, zip codes need improving. I put at least 2 zip codes that gps didn't recognize.
    Overall: Average device, definitely not the best on the market, that needs a lot of improvement.

  • Nokia 500 - GPRS problem after updating to Nokia B...

    Last month after the announcement of update of Nokia Belle to Nokia 500, I have updated the firmware.  And it was successfull and it works fine.
    But while try to browse the internet in mobile using WAP or Mobile data, I could not do so.  There is a problem (Error in opening the page).  Before i.e. while using Anna i regularly browsed and it worked fine.  after updation only this problem arises.  I have checked all the settings and all is looking correct but could not bowsing.
    Pls help me.

    Hi somebodyx87,
    Could you please follow these steps if problem will occur again?
    1. Disconnect your phone from PC if connected.
    2. Open Control Panel and go to ‘Programs and Features’
    3. From the list of available programs, choose ‘Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver’
    4. Click on the ‘Change’ button on top toolbar.
    5. In the setup dialog box that pops up next, choose ‘Repair’ and select ok. Wait for setup to complete.
    6. Restart the computer if prompted.
    7. Now connect your phone to the PC. Driver installation should complete and Nokia Suite (hopefully) should detect your mobile properly now.
    I hope it helps!
    Cheers,
    Marina

  • Nokia 500 and Belle Refresh: browser issues.

    Greetings.
    The Belle Refresh was indeed a welcome refresh for this low-to-midrange phone. However, there is a serious issue with the browser.
    With the update to Qt 4.8, you inherited QtWebKit, an amazing browser I know very well. In a desktop, it's fast, although it eats more memory than Firefox. However, in a cell phone like the 500, with limited amounts of RAM, this browser freezes the phone, due to the lack of memory. I'm also sure this browser can and will break phones with more memory and Belle FPx, since I've made QtWebKit use more than 1 GB of RAM in a computer running KDE.
    There is a way to avoid this, called "user agent". Opera Mobile avoids this scenario by telling pages through user agent "hey, don't be hard on me, I'm browsing this from a cell phone", and pages adjust themselves to that scenario. However, you didn't tweak the user agent in your browser.
    If you add no user agent tweaking, full HTML5 support, Flash Lite support (the much higher specced iPhone 4S doesn't support Flash), and low memory, you get a nightmare scenario.
    1. The webpages send their complete, full featured DESKTOP versions to my Nokia 500.
    2. QtWebKit supports everything, so, it makes a faithful attempt to properly render the page, even with Flash apps.
    3. Nokia 500 has only 70-80 MB of RAM free for apps to use.
    4. Boom.
    Can you release a hotfix for Belle Refresh, changing the user agent of Nokia Browser to something that can trigger the mobile version of web pages? In that scenario, QtWebKit will eat much less memory and everyone will be happy. And please, can you do this for everyone using Belle Refresh?

    I can confirm serious browser issues with the Belle refresh on a C6-01 device. The crash is so severe that only taking out the battery helps. It typically occurs when scrolling larger, feature-rich (and image-rich) webpages, so far I've seen this only on mobile connections (Edge, Umts), but that may be due to lack of testing with WLAN. (Where I've got WLAN I've usually a more powerful device as well..

  • Nokia 500 symbian belle w/ NFC support?

    i wonder if i upgrade to symbian belle on my nokia 500, will it able to add NFC support? TY

    Owns: 6230 (still alive) and 500....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well the Nokia "Store" seems to think that the Nokia 500 has "NFC SUPPORT"... Please take a look at this link:
     - http://store.ovi.com/content/209048?clickSource=search&pos=8
    It clearly states there the folllowing:
     - "Simply perform the NFC handshake with another Nokia 500, 600 or 700 to unlock content."
    So I don't know if whoever posted it up was trying to mislead people who own the Nokia 500 into buying their application and make them think that the software will "enable" NFC on the device.... Or just a "typo"? 
    It probably was a marketing strategy..... "me thinks"...

     The version of Angry birds for the Galaxy S has been coded differently to the version that runs on the Galaxy mini because of the different screen sizes and also processor speed and RAM and GPU. 
     If the Nokia 500 becomes a popular mobile phone, I'm sure Rovio may release a version of Angry birds for it. All we can do is wait and see.
