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.
Now using the Lumia 1520

Nokia 6500 Classic problem

Help guys.
I have a problem with the power of Nokia 6500c. The last time I charged it, it was full, after leaving it for about a few hours, I found it dead. So I tried to charge it. But the problem is, it won't charge, so I figured it would be battery issues or something so I borrowed a battery from my friend. It worked, I charged it for about an hour before leaving for work and the next thing I knew, it was dead again. I opened it and it opened, only to see that the battery's low again. It went dead. So I charged it again, I saw the charging sign for about a few seconds then it went dead again. Now it won't open.
I see this problem as a normal problem with this unit. I browsed forums looking for answers but so far no one has helped me.
I hope some of you guys has the answer for this problem. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Hi,
Sounds very much like a power management issue.
Take the handset into a Nokia Service Centre where they will be able to clean all the ports and action all the usual updates.

6500 classic problems Transfering music from PC

I got this phone yesterday and today attempted to transfer a couple of MP3s from my PC to the phone using the USB lead.
This would not work as apparently the phone doesn't have any memory, this I find hard to believe as the phone only has the factory apps on at present and when checking the memory status the phone still has over 900mb
Can anybody help?
Cheers

My guess is that you are trying to transfer your songs to the phone memory instead of the card memory. I guess because not everyone has a memory card, the PC Suite music transfer software defaults to using phone memory.
Phone memory is a few 10s of MB whereas the card can be 2GB or more.
It sounds like you're using the Transfer Music option in PC Suite. Unfortunately, I don't have a working version of PC Suite on my work machine so I can't give you the exact options, however you need to connect the phone and go into options. Somewhere in the options related to the phone there is a target directory. You need to change this to be a directory on the memory card, preferably:
[card]:\Sounds\Digital
An alternative - which will also give you much faster transfer rates - is to connect using the USB cable in Data Transfer mode (you should be prompted when you connect the cable, alternatively you can change this from within the Connection menu options). The memory card should then appear as an external drive in Windows Explorer and you can simply drag and drop music files to the above directory.

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.

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, GPRS always connected?

I recently purchased a nokia 6500 classic on Three,
There is always a G in a box at the top of the screen.
Ive looked in the manual it means that there is a GPRS connection estabiashed, Ive looked through the settings i cant find any options.
how do i turn off the connection?

I've got the self same problem (same phone, same network).
You *should* be able to disable this, there's a menu option and everything, but it doesn't work (for me at least).
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 about beating your head against the brick-wall that is their *cough* customer services department. They've made me practically livid (and I'm generally a quite mild mannered person) by telling me all kinds of cr...rubbish about why this connection is there. Only ONE person has acknowledged that this might even be a fault. It's been away for repair for this matter (and some other issues) but still persists.
I wish you the very best of luck, my friend.

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.

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. =)
