If your Nokia 6500 Classic is asking for restriction code means you need to unlock it...Unlocking can be done either by contacting the service provider

Hi,
I am afraid not as Orange UK codes are very hard to get hold of.
Also, as you have entered an incorrect code 5 times, you will need to reset the unlock attempts before you can unlock even with the correct code as the phone as locked up.
You can check the unlocking attempts made on the phone for free using this software:
Also, we work with this company who offer resetting of unlocking attempts, take a look here:
Or you can google: "Nokia BB5 unlock attempts reset"
Kind regards

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 '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. =)

Remove Tesco soft key icon from 6500 classic

I recently switched my 6500 classic from Tesco to Virgin ("legally", with the cooperation of Tesco).
The Tesco logo still appears in the bottom right hand corner of the screen above the 'soft' button that takes you to the web. (This is different from the service provider logo in the top right hand corner). Does anyone know how to get rid of this icon?
Tesco said they could have got rid of it if I was porting from Virgin to Tesco, but not the other way round.
Virgin say they can't change it, but I don't know how much the person I spoke to at Virgin knows about technical stuff.
Anyone out there got any ideas? Thanks!

Operators (virtual or otherwise) enforce 2 kinds of lock on a phone. Firstly there's the SIM-lock, which when lifted enabled you to use a Virgin SIM in the phone that was originally obtained through Tesco. Secondly, there's the branding.
Tesco's branding of your phone is what's responsible for the logo appearing above a soft key on your screen and there is no (legitimate) way to remove it without Tesco's collaboration.
1) You need to ensure that the SIM-lock has been lifted (if you're using a Virgin SIM then it has)
2) You need written permission from Tesco to remove their branded firmware and install generic, Nokia firmware
3) You need to take the unlocked phone and the written permission to a Nokia Care Point where they will change the phone's product code, install generic software into the phone and print out a new product identification label for your battery compartment.
1) and 3) are easy. 2) is "Mission: Impossible".
Note that any "unofficial" methods you may hear about or see on the 'Net are methods that will certainly void any warranty on the phone, and may even preclude your phone from any form of service, under warranty or not, if you go ahead with them. As such they cannot be discussed here.

I have forgotten my restrictions code, and don't have an iTunes backup on a PC. How can I reset the code or find my code without using a PC or jailbreaking/hacking into my iPod?

iPod 5 generation. ios 8.1.2
I forgot the restrictions code, and I'm trying to reset my iPod, but because of restrictions, it won't let me! I cannot do the thing with the computer, because I never backed it up on a PC before. I've also tried the so-called 'default' code, and it didn't work, either.

There is no default code.
- Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
You have to either:
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

My daughter put in a restriction code on her ipod touch and I need to know how to reset her device as a new one and I also do not have her itunes account information?

I am selling my iPod touch, but I forgot the Restriction Code so I can't reset it and I have a new computer, so all of my Apple stuff isn't there anyway. that is one of the main reason I wanted to sell my iPod because when I got a new computer I lost everything. But now I cant reset it without this code and I don't know what to do. Is there a way I can reset it without the code on my new computer?

Help me I have been trying to restore my iphone back to original settings an very time I try it asked me for a restriction code I have never set a restriction code and was just wondering if they were all the same for every iPhone please could someone help me

- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to it see:
How to reset forgotten Restrictions...: Apple Support Communities
Some other uses have experienced a Restructuions passcode just appearing out of thin air. Try passwords you use on the iPhone.

The restriction code is on my Iphone and I didn't set it up. Could I have done something when tethering the iphone to my MacBook Pro through settings in the MacBook?

I need restriction code For Nokia 6280

Hello all,
A friend got a Nokia 6280 as a gift from the UK, the phone is on 3 network. each time the phone is put on it asks for restriction code. I don't have the code and do not what code to use.
Hoping to hear from you guys.

Hi giggsonic
This has been discussed many times on this forum including the sticky thread at the top of this board..
http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=hardware&message.id=69
Basically the restriction (sometimes called unlock) code would have to come from the original network.

6500 Classic NO VALID CERTIICATE error when downlo...

Hi,
I have a Nokia 6500 Classic. I have it unlocked and now set up to use 3 Mobile UK. I have been using the WAP which works fine but when i try to download any app it say NO VALID CERTIFICATE and wont let me download anything,
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

I don't really know about the music player issue but I might have an answer for the certificates thing.
The 2730 classic is not exactly a recent phone. It was announced over 4 years ago. It could be that the software packages you're trying to install are also pretty old, meaning that the certificate with which they were signed may well have expired by now.
What you can do is try to set your phone's clock to a date in the past, say in 2010 some time, and then try and install those packages again. If that works then "old age" of the certificates is the answer.
Obviously, don't forget to put your phone's clock back to the correct date afterwards
