6500 Classic contacts problem

Hi there,
I recently updated my firmware to v 06.61. This apparently removed all of my contacts from the phone. When i connect to PC suite however, it brings up all of my old contacts again. I didn't perform a backup before updating.
When I check the memory status, neither the phone nor sim registers additional contacts.
Is there a way of putting these again on my phone?
Thanks.

@n4cer
when u do a software update, all the data is wiped out in most cases which is y ur prompted to do a backup b4 updating.
the only other thing i can think of is if u have a copy of ur contact in microsoft outlook or lotus notes. if u do, then u can sync them into ur phone using the nokia pc suite
unfortunately, if u dont have a copy in any of those items above and dont have a back up anywhere, u will not be able to retrieve the data
u will have to key them all in again
if my post helped u out, please click the Star next to it to add some KUDOS to my name

  • 6500 Classic Bluetooth Problem - 'error copying fi...

    Hi,
    I seem to have hit a bit of a problem with my Nokia 6500c and have really been struggling to find a solution.
    My desktop PC (Windows XP)has a USB Bluetooth Dongle which was initially used with Microsoft Drivers. Everything worked fine and I was able to transfer files both to and from the 6500c, however, the Microsoft Drivers seemed to only offer limited facilities.
    I therefore installed the software / drivers provided with the dongle - Widcomm / Broadcom. Again everything appeared to work fine however, when I 'right click' any file on my PC and select 'send to bluetooth device - Nokia 6500' I receive a message 'error copying file'.
    The devices have been succesfully paired and if I browse the phone's files and copy / paste or drag and drop the same file to no errors occur.
    Everthing else on the bluetooth connection works without a problem.
    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Hi Yoshi,
    Thanks for the reply - the Microsoft drivers / software were fully unistalled before I installed the Widcomm / Broadcom software and drivers. When using the microsoft package the dongle shows as a bluetooth radio device, installs 'darfon' drivers for the bluetooth device and uses generic microsoft drivers for the bluetooth enumerator. The Widcomm / Broadcomm package recognises the dongle as simply a bluetooth device with all facilities operating under broadcom drivers.
    I actually think the problem relates to the make of dongle and the 6500c not being fully compatable as I have now tried using the Widcomm software with other phones and a laptop all of which are fine. I have also tried using the phone with other PCs which are not using the microsoft package and all is fine.
    The dongle I am using is:-

  • 6500 classic-Profiles problem

    Hello.
    I buy my Nokia 6500c and i am very happy and satisfied.But!!!My Profiles(General,Silent etc)settings are constantly going crazy.All the time,all tones that i assigned to some profiles are no longer assigned to same profiles and i must do that all over again...All Profiles settings from time to time are going to Nokia automatic settings...What should i do???My curent software version is 3.21 .Thanks

    Full reset & formatting will surely erase data, but I don't think the codes will work on that phone because it works only in S60 series.
    Try removing battery for 15mins & putting it back if it will solve the problem. If not install your pcsuites then go to internet & check if you have a software upgrade for your phone, & upgrade it thru software updater. This will surely install a fresh firmware in your phone resetting also to factory. But have a backup of your phone first by use of pcsuites.

  • 6500 classic microUSB problem

    Hello. I think I have problem with microUSB connector. I think that it's worn out. Sometimes my connection to PC is breaking (device sometimes disconnects/connects), and sometimes earphones stop playing music, and start playing on phone speakers until I twist the cable a bit.
    More recently I started having troubles charing my phone, since microUSB is the only connector on it. I thought I was having troubles with the charger, or with the battery, I even bought brand new charger, but the phone sometimes charged fully in matter of 2 hours, and sometimes I leave it over night, and it only charges a bit.
    So, is there a way to repair/replace micro USB connector on this phone?

    you will have to take it to nokia care and get assistance there. it does sound like the port itself might have gotten worn out.

  • 6500 contacts problem

    Hello Everyone,
    I've got a problem with my Nokia 6500 Classic Contact list. The problem is i can't see any on my phone. So my List with Names is just empty.
    However when I plug in my phone into the computer, and Nokia Phone Browser appears, and i look into the contacts map, I see all my contacts standing right into the correct folder. (Nokia Phone Browser\Nokia 6500c\Contacts). For some reason he won't show them on my phone. This is really annoying because i can;t call anyone because i don;t have their numbers with me when i;m from home.
    What i've done so far:
    Re-install Nokia PC suite and all its components
    Reset the phone to factory settings.
    Synchronize with PC suite synchronizer
    All without succes.
    Can someone help me please?

    hi....have u checked 2 c if there r any updates 4 it?

  • 6500 classic - security settings problem

    I have Nokia 6500 classic and I have a little problem with it. When I go to the Security settings menu Security module settings is not active. When I push on it it tells me to Insert security module. Can someone explain to me what should I do because there is nothing in the users manual about the security options.
    Thank you in advance!!!

    If you don't have a security module (not many people do) then you will never need to use this option.
    Security modules are expensive and are used by certain agencies that need heavily encrypted lines.

  • Problem 6500 Classic. Camera & Flash not Syncroniz...

    On my 6500 Classic 1 week old i have a problem,in camera mode the flash does not seem to be syncronized with the camera, once the image is captured the image is dark apart from a small strip at the right side of the screen. I also cannot activtae night mode or image sequence.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks
    Mrp

    The flash on my 6500 is working fine. but I may be able to help if you can give me the following info:
    (1st make sure your finger is not covering the flash when taking pictures )
    1. Software version of your phone (press *#0000#)
    2. Image quality & image size settings (go to camera>options>settings)
    3. When you see flash is not syn, is the flash in Auto or On or both? (see icon or option>flash)
    4. Does the flash always not syn or sometimes?
    For night mode or image sequence, try turn the flash off.

  • 6500 Classic Problems

    Hello everyone!
    My 6500 classic keeps turing its self off - usually during a call - for no aparant reason. It also keeps on losing reception when I'm not using it and then starts searching for reception again until it finds it?
    It will do this once or twice a minute and then will work fine for hours on end before deciding to go a bit crazy again!
    I have recently had the screen replaced after it cracked (without having actually been touched) but apart from that the phone has always worked fine and it has been treated well.
    If you have any ideas about how I might fix it or what might be wrong with it I would greatly appreciate hearing from you!
    Cheers
    Jon

    yes this is excatly my thought your better of going to a nokia care centre, than some guy that does unwarrantied work,this is why i asked where you got the screen done ,so its a trip to a nokia care centre to be fixed properly
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Nokia 6500 classic Remote Simm Problem

    I have a nokia 616 car kit and when I try and pair the 6500 it goes into remote sim mode, where I want to use Hands free but cannot find anywhere to chnage this.
    Any help how to turn it off the nokia 6500?
    thanks in advance

  • Nokia 610 car kit and Nokia 6500 Classic phone

    Hi,
    Has anyone else had problems connecting a Nokia 6500 Classic to a Nokia 610 car kit. The handset won't remember the pairing and I have to enter the 16 digit passkey every time I start up the car, even althouth the "remember pairing" feature is activated. Other models of Nokia handsets connect fine

    I have managed to download the contacts with the N95 by installing the "download Contacts" application on the N95.
    You HAVE to make sure that the paring between the two phones is deleated, then that the "download contacts" app is running on the N95 before assigning the SIM again from the 610, entering the passcode and then choose YES to the questian "Download contacts?"
    The only problem is then that the contacts display as Lastname/firstname as opposed to firstname/lastname which is my preference and I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to change this. Still I cant have everything I suppose. At least its keeping the pairing without having to enter the passcode everytime which is still the case with the 6500.
    Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this passcode problem? Or been able to display the contacts downloaded from an N95 as firstname/lastname?
    best regards.

  • 6500 Classic Menu Item Freeze

    Hi
    I cannot change the ring tone on my 6500 Classic because the 'Personalise' option under each Profile choice does not work and causes the phone to freeze. This also happens with the 'Groups' option under Contacts. The only way to clear the freeze is to press the red on/off button, which takes me back to the welcome screen
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    These are the fixes I have tried so far:
    * Switch off and on
    * Remove battery and sim, then turn on
    * Check and update firmware/software to v3.21 (latest)
    Regards
    Paul

    You could try "Reset to Factory Defaults" command first to normalize your phone settings.
    Do you use any passwords/security codes on your phone or memory card? Try removing them first, restarting and then attempt to customize again.
    Problem could also be caused by referenced objects (i.e. tones) that are corrupt or that no longer exist in the expected location (i.e. folder on memory card). If you have a card reader, try running a "Check Disk" command on your memory card by using a computer to fix any data problems that may be present on the SD media itself. =)

  • 6500 classic GPRS always connected?

    What utter UTTER tosh!
    Do you work for 3 or something? You're definitely toeing the company line. Read the [expletive deleted] manual and understand the error of your ways.
    I'll explain my vitriol by way of a summary of my personal experience:
    I've got the self same problem (same phone, same network).
    You *should* be able to disable this (as per the manual included with the product, and based on every single GPRS enabled Nokia I've ever had -- several.) There's a handy menu option and everything, as stated by the first respondent, but it doesn't work (certainly not for me, anyway).
    I've come to the conclusion that it's a fault with the firmware.
    Don't expect a fixed version any time soon (if at all).
    Be wary before engaging in the brick-wall vs head scenario that will likely unfold if you contact their *cough* customer services department regarding this. They've made me practically livid (and I'm generally a quite mild mannered person) by telling me all kinds of rubbish about why this connection is there. But before they tell me this, they tell me how to disable it through the menu (doesn't work), and asking me to factory-reset the phone (similarly ineffectual). If it's "meant" to be there, why not say that in the first instance? Contradictory advice? I've heard of it. I've been given it. I've become very angry because of it.
    Only ONE telephonist has acknowledged that this sounds like a fault to him. It's been away for repair for this matter (and some other issues) but still the "[G]" persists.
    To the Original Poster: I wish you the very best of luck, my friend. I'm working myself up to demand a new phone, or perhaps even a different one.

  • 6500 Classic Onboard Memory Help...

    Hi,
    My wife's 6500 classic has had all the symptons that I've read about on the forums here, phone is about 7 months old i.e.
    When battery runs flat can't turn the phone on even if attached to the mains for roughly a period of 8-10 hrs, basically had to charge every night all night.
    Gets hot during a call over about 5 mins
    Poor battery life etc.
    Anyway this week the phone packed up all together, doesn't turn on at all, just get a black screen with a few multicoloured vertical lines but no indication that the phone is actually on/powered up.
    Have taken the phone to a Nokia Support Centre who said phone is under warranty unless it has water damage... Guess what they have said is up with the phone. That's right... Water damage. And the best part of between £80-100 to repair, but the battery has been tested and said to be in 100% condition.
    Phone has been no where near water so have no idea where water damage has come from, they say new key pad & screen are required, as we have insurance will just pay the excess which is fair bit cheaper and get a new phone.
    My question to you guys is the 6500 has onboard memory and no memory card and my wife has photo's of our son that she really doesn't want to lose, is there a way of removing these understanding that the phone is in this state (doesn't turn on/power up). I've connected usb cable to phone & laptop but it doesn't appear as a device either.
    As I have no interest in saving the phone just the pics on it, can it be dismantled to access the onboard storage in view of accessing memory somehow?
    I look forward to your responses and she has said she will be backing up photos in the future, lesson learned.
    Cheers.

    Check the firmware version on the phone?
    latest one 4.84 31/01/08
    IF you have old software then update this via NSU or contact the NCP

  • MAC osx SUPPORT for 6500 classic

    i am a new owner for the 6500 classic and wondered why nokia dont list this phone under the mac support?
    does any one have any recommendations of software/plugins i can download for mac tiger 10.4 that will sync with ical etc etc but that will work with a wide range of phones? or a generic syncing software. most dont seem to support the 6500 !!

    I have downloaded two third party plugins, one from NOVA, only to find out that they don't work with iSync 3.0. Nokia of course told me it would not be a problem to get a plugin!!! Does anyone know where it's available?
