6500 Classic gets overheated

HI,
I've used the 6500 C for about one week. When using the phone for more than 5 minutes it gets really hot. Feels like my ears getting fried. Also, the person at the other end also complaints about poor sound and strange noises.
Do you think this can be helped with new firmware or do I have to send it to service?
Regards
Marcus

may not entirely be a hardware problem. what i discovered lately is that it sometimes depends on your location and phone's reception. there are times i spend almost an hour on my phone and it doesn't get hot when i am outside of my home, other times i only spend a few minutes and it gets hot but occurs when i am in my room. so i believe location and reception has a big part to play in the phones function and it gets hot because it using maximum power to maintain a signal.
everything happens for a reason

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

6500 Classic, using Voice Dialing without headset

I just got a 6500 Classic, which I love so far, and the voice recognition feature seems to work well for me. However, I am only able to dial by voice from my headset. How do I initiate voice dialing without the headset? I've tried to see if I can set up one of my soft keys so that I press it and it knows that I want to say a command but I can't find that shortcut option.
How do I get the phone to listen for my voice command without the use of a headset?

And yes, you have to press the right soft button for 2 seconds every time you want to do a voice command - but that only makes sense on a candybar form factor...other wise it would be constantly waiting for a voice command it recognizes and would kill the battery in no time!

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?

Nokia 6500 classic & BMW

I have just received a nokia 6500 classic from Father Xmas! I specifically asked for this phone as I have an 07 reg BMW 3 series and the 6500 was recommended by them as a good phone to bluetooth with the car - also they supply a charging/USB cradle for this model. Anyway I have successfully managed to pair the phone and car but cannot get any of the numbers in the address book to bluetooth across. This means that I can't look up a number whilst driving but have to manually look up the number on the phone, write it down then dial in using the communication option in the car - not so good when travelling down a motorway.
I've noticed that someone else has asked a similar question about a Tom Tom but no reply was posted.
Any ideas/suggestions will be gratefully received!

You might want to check the BMW Bluetooth compatibility list. It is available at the bmw web site. The list contains the supported phones, features and firmware levels.
I have a 2006 BMW 5 Series, a 6500c and the BMW-Snap-In adapter cradle and the latest bmw-software in the car. Phone numbers work fine but the phone resets sporadically when plugged in the cradle.
Very annoying situation, since both BMW and Nokia blame the other party for the problem. I've told the BMW dealer that I'm completely sick of Bluetooth and my next car will definititly require a fixed phone implementation.
Cheers,
Lars

Nokia 6500 classic is being an Pain!

I've had a Nokia 6500 classic for a few months now and the main charger wont charge the phone. But on top of this the USB charger only charges the phone to about half way and then stops. Any ideas on how to get this phone charged, the only options I know is get a new charger or send the phone for repair, but I'm trying to avoid these if there is some other way.

Nokia 6500 Classic Help Needed!

Helo i have a Nokia 6500 Classic and i want to do a hard reset, it's also called factory settings.
I'm not sure if the code to reset the phone to the factory settings has been edited.
But i have tried 12345 and the phone says the code is wrong.
So anyone who has an idea, or know how to force a reset to the factory settings?

First thing is to make the Basics right... Hard Reset and Factory resets are two totally different things..Your Phone being an S40, you can not perform the Hard Reset.. As for Factory reset.. Go to Menu-->settings -->Restore Factory settings..and the Security code when prompted.. As you have mentioned the default code is 12345 unless changed by you...and if you have forgotten that then the ONLY way to get it reset to the default is thru' Nokia Care. Ownership proof (Bill / Invoice) may be asked if you decide to get it done...

6500 classic - apps does not work

I seem to get only very few applications to work on my phone. None of the preinstalled games does work (only sudoku works).
Every time I try to open an application I get the message: "invalid application". Then I get the option to delete it.
I soon as I got my phone I updated the firmware to 4.84. Is this the reason. Or is it just a fact that none of the apps I'm trying to use is compatible with my phone?
I would very much appreciate anyone that has any experience with with a 6500 classic to give me some hints. I'm so frustraded:-(

I've managed to fix mine; the default access point was not correct. As I don't have the 6500 Classic with me, please bear with my vague walkthrough.
1. Navigate to Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Packet Data. In this directory you can find out which access point is being used. Mine was called O2 Mobile Web. Do not change anything.
2. Navigate to Menu > Settings > Configuration. Within this directory there will be a setting to set which access point your phone connects to. Mine wasn't set to O2 Mobile Web so I toggled the settings in here to make sure it was.
3. Hopefully your apps should work.
I hope O2 aren't charging me for this internet usage (I do have an unlimited data plan), if they are charging me, there will be piggies going to slaughter.

6500 Classic - Unusual icon next to battery?

I've just got my new phone on T-Mobile. I can't remember if it's been there from the start but I have an arrow (like an upside down enter key on a keyboard) next to the battery. There don't seem to be any missed calls or messages in the outbox but I don't know why it's there. It's not detailed in the manual either. It's bugging me, how do I get rid of it?! Any help would be appreciated

I've read that this arrow icon is for call diverts. My gf has it on her new 6500 classic, also t-mobile. When I told her it was for diverts she wanted to switch them off just to get rid of the arrow, but I convinced her to leave them on for when the phone's busy or has no reception - just annoying that it has an icon associated with it (and it's undocumented)!
Thanks to 3point on 3g.co.uk for the answer.

6500 classic firmware upgrade

Hi,
I've tried to upgrade the firmware of my nokia 6500 classic phone with the help of the installed Nokia Software Updater(v.1.4.70en) but it shows there's no new update available (Current ver.: 3.21, Update ver.: 3.21)
I'd checked the "Can I update" section in nokia site beforehand and found the latest available software for nokia 6500 classic version number of which is 06.61.
There is any way to get Nokia Software Updater to recognise a newer version of firmware.
Thanks

is it a provider issued phone? if it is, it is possible that your provider had not approved yet of the latest firmware version, so you may have to wait or contact your provider. sometimes a provider may unlock your phone so that you could get the latest firmware but there is no guarantee and it is always the providers call what they are willing to do

Nokia 6500 classic - unlocked lock sign

Can someone please help me,I bougnt a Nokia 6500 classic and everytime I make a call, receive a call or get / send a message my my phone shows me an unlocked lock sign when the call is in progress or message is being send?
What is this for? Is it normal or how do I get it to go away, none of my previous nokia's did the same!
Please help me urgently.
Regards

I have noticed that this sometimes happens with these series 40 phones. It used to happen occasionally with my 6233 and has also happened with the 6500 Slide. It could be a network related issue, but unless it actually affects the calls or text messages, I would ignore it if I were you. Just worry about whether the phone is working fine otherwise.

Nokia 6500 Classic

If you feel that the phone is getting too warm, do not hesitate to take it into a Nokia Care point and have someone look into it.

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 'GSM' Network mode selection unavaila...

I moved to 3 network but on their phones the network mode is locked to dual or UMTS with no provision for GSM only. This zaps the battery. I have found a way around it on the N82 by downloading FTD FieldTest app and going to FTD 81.01 where you can overide firmware restrictions and select force protocol to GSM.
Unfortunately on the 6500 Classic I cannot seem to get FTD? Please advise if it is possible to obtain FTD for this S40 device or if there is any applet that will overide this settings for me.
I've spent about 4 days solid on the net trying to resolve this as the 6500 C battery life is so bad it needs 3G turning off.

Hello,
I don't know if anyone faced this problem or not N8 having 3 option in network selection mode
i. Dual Mode
ii. 3G
iii. GSM
But when you select Duel mode in N8 and before selecting Dual if you are using GSM mode then mobile does not select 3G and continue to using GSM network.
If you select 3G first and then dual mode after then only 3G is selected in dual mode.
As there is only two option GSM and Dual mode in Nokia N70 I could not get 3G network.
I request you all to please guide for getting 3G network on Nokia N70.
Thank You,
SagarS
The N70 supports network dual mode. The 3G sign is supported by most operators, but not all, so you could be connected in WCDMA mode without noticing. Check your manual and download speed.
