6300 v's 6500

Ok..done a bit of hands on research today and after seeing and handling my preferred choice of the 6300 black I have decided its not for me..very cheap, shiney, plastic looking phone, that was covered in marks and scratches..and that was the one on display in the shop!!
So im down to two choices the 6300 silver...which I must say I was pleasantly surprised with looks wise..and the 6500..which I really like, but im still ready so many reviews about freeze ups, and other software issues.
So, one question..do both phones use the same interface technology?..I have been told by Nokia that the messenging text on the 6300 is one size only..is this also the cse on the 6500?
And another...Does the T9 texting actually predict the rest of a long word when your halfway through 'typing' it thus allowing you to use the whole of the suggested word..or does it leave you to still correctly spell the whole word out (like Samsung phones..which isnt exactly 'predictive' is it!!)
Ta...

You could go for the latest phone with a micro USB port. Next thing it will be a standard for charging phones thru USB ports. The latest phones that already have this, Nokia 5310, Nokia 5610, Nokia 6500 Slide, Nokia 6500 Classic, Nokia 8600 Luna, Nokia N81, Nokia N82, and others that I've missed.

Volume on alert tones 6500 slide

Hi I've recently changed from a 6300 to 6500 slide and overall I'm really pleased with it. However, the volume for the message alert tones is really loud. On the 6500 it the volume is really loud and it had the added benefit of flashing. The software on the 6500 is V04.84. Anybody any idea how I can increase the message alert volume. I have the ringtone volume set at maximum and this is great.

Somewhat embarrasing, but I figure post this so others can use it - have figured it out... open the gallery of alert tones and start playing them, then use the volume adjustment keys on the side of the phone to increase their volume while they are playing. This will then affect the volume they play at when actually selected as the alert tone.

Nokia 6500 slide..Bugs and problems..

Just read some posts regarding the nokia 6500 and it seems i too am not alone with the problems on this model..
I have had nothing but problems with this phone and keeps freezing, cuts out whilst in the middle of a call and generally is the most problem ridden phone nokia must have ever produced.
I cant believe that a trusted company the size of nokia would allow a product like this to be released in the uk market.
I do also understand that nokia now have stiff competition from other manafacturers. And have to fight for the share of the market place. But releasing inferior phones that obviously havent passed the research stage Is hardly the way to keep the customers that they have..
I cant wait till my phone is repaired and put for sale on E bay..Anyone recommend a non nokia alternative...
Anyone considering a phone has to avoid a nokia 6500 slide.

From what you have read, same situation with the 6500 Classic?
I was going to get that one?
Thnx

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!

Please can tell me how the 6500 slide is?
Ive got a Luna at the mo,and im very happy with it.Only annoying thing is that it has NO memory expansion.So im looking for a replacement.Im thinking about the Slide,but i have seen today one which i could change with my luna,and the camera sucks!The photo quality is whorster then the N73 which i think is almost the same quality as the N95,and the video recording was horrible!!I thought the video recording mode of the Slide would be at 30fps,which would be similar to the N95,but it was the same as the 6300 and Luna for example.So how can this be?I really hoped that the pic quality was same like the N73 and the video recording same like the N95 or a bit less.So i dont know if it is the Slide i looked to which was bad(just 20 days old) or is it just how the Slide's are?If all the slide's are like this i will go for the ugly'er but much more quality baring N82 or the SE k850i.Can someone please answer this??

I never said it was the worst phone on the planet, I simply pointed out that it was not always a trouble-free model (you are lucky, you don't seem to have suffered the issue of the badly-fitting backplate whose metal protrusion didn't always contact with the circuit board switch leading to frequent failure to activate memory card access) and gave my honest opinion of it compared with the other phones that the original poster mentioned.
None of that should detract from your enjoyment of your phone; but the 6500 Slide's build quality (however good it may be) will never compare to the 8600 Luna that the other guy is replacing.

Current Device - Nokia Lumia 1020/920

Unfortunately it is not possible to do that on the 6300. It is also not possible to install an app that enables that feature.
The newer series 40 models such as the 6500, 6600, 6700, 3720 etc do have that feature as they have a newer version of the operating system.

Nokia 6300 & Alpine Bluetooth Module

Hi all,
I have the Nokia 6300 and just got a new alpine headunit with the bluetooth module for my car.
i've noticed that when the devices pair rather than getting an icon of a car i get a headphone icon on the phone - the music player automatically then starts playing the mp3's on the phone regardless of the source i have chosen on the headunit.
does anyone know how to switch this off as i don't want the phone playing music to itself while sat in my pocket - seems like a waste of battery..
any help is appreciated.
thanks
Craig

I have a 6500 slide and a Motorola Bluetooth in the car. Same problem, when I pair them up, the music player automatically goes on. It's frustrating to turn it off everytime I get in the car.
Is this a software problem or is there a way to make the default "off" rather than "on"?

how do u get camera off standby please
Hi peaches
You could try turning the phone off, take the back cover off, remove the battery and the sim card. Wait approximately 20 seconds then put the SIM card and battery back in, replace cover and turn the phone back on.

Brightness on 6500 classic

Hi!
Could somebody tell me if it's possible to change screen brightness on 6500 classic, it's not as bright as 6300.
Many thanks!

I don't think there is currently an option to do so on S40 phones.

Nokia 6300 & CK-15W - Contacts upload

Just fitted a CK-15W to the wifes Navara today, all working nicely with her 6300 (firmware now v05.50) except I can't get the contacts details to upload to the car kit from the phone. I tried with my 6500 Slide and it worked perfectly first time, no probs. Has anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it? or is it one of these things that she'll just have to live with? If not fixable it realy makes the CK-15W screen a bit pointless, as thats why I bought it for her car rather than the CK-7W that I fitted in my own (and before anyone suggests it NO I'm not swapping the kits over! lol )

That did it, moved the contacts to the phone memory tried again and lo and behold it worked first go. It would be nice if Nokia could tell you these things in the instructions (one assumes they try out their products for full compatibility LOL)!
Thanks for the help, it was something that had briefly passed through my mind as a possible reason but I had discounted it as too simple/obvious (how wrong can you be!).
Thanks again
Kenny.

HP officejet 6500 drivers for windows phone

IHello,
I have officejet 6500 with ethernet card. I use with wireless. I have Nokia 1020, Win8.1 mobil phone. I want print text on my phone. I installed HP Aio Remote Beta program. Aio found my printer but it said that this printer isn't supported. How can I print my text using my mobil phone on the officejet 6500? Is there any driver for mobil phone or any different program? or is that an upgrade for Aio (it must include my printer's driver ofcourse)
Thanks...

Hi,
I afraid the printer is not compatible with Windows Phone.
Only the models listed within the "What printers support printing features for the HP AiO Remote app for Windows 8 Phones?" below can be used for printing from Windows 8 Phone devices:

How can I delete an E-Mail account in Nokia 6300

I have setup an E-Mail account (e.g Gmail) on my Nokia 6300. I would like to delete this account which is no longer needed. I couldn’t find any delete option there. Before Nokia 6300, I have used Nokia E-50. It has a very simple option in Connect folder to delete or manage these E-mail accounts. Waiting for you response.

Simply enter the configurations menu from settings, go to personal config and the account should be listed there, select options and delete.

How do I correct a Windows Vista error for HP Officejet 6500 E709n wireless?

I continue to get a Windows Vista error when trying to install the printer software ...now it does print, but only the bottom half of a page..???

Dave, I would recommend completely uninstalling the printer from Programs and Features (after unplugging the USB cord if you are using one), and removing the printer from both Device Manager and Devices and Printer.
We are going to reinstall the printer from one of the downloads that HP makes available, but first I will have to know if your printer is the 6500A or the 6500. Also is your Win Vista machine running 64bit software or 32bit software?
If you can give me a complete product name and the information on your system, I will link you to the appropriate download.
Let me know!
