6500 Slide Firmware

Hello,
I got a 6500 Slide that doesn't support French language. How can I change its firmware to another that support French + Arabic language?

You need to go to a nokia care point and pay to have them install the language pack that you require,
note that if you later upgrade your phones firmware this new language pack will be lost

  • Orange 6500 Slide Firmware change.

    Hello,
    I bought an unlocked Orange Nokia 6500 Slide without knowing about the Firmware. It is completely hideous. I'd like to have the standard Nokia Frimware.
    Could anyone help me with this?
    Help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you for your time! :-)

    If you get written consent from the operator in question, a Nokia service point may be able to flash the phone with the standard Nokia software. Note, however, that they aren't required to do this by Nokia and so may not do.
    Any other method that may exist would invalidate the warranty - we are not allowed to discuss that sort of thing here.

  • Nokia 6500s1 (6500 Slide) RM-240 Firmware v10.00

    Hi, I've noticed that the new firmware version 10.00
    for the Nokia 6500s1 (6500 Slide) RM-240 is out.
    Does anyone have an idea what is new in this version
    and they've fixed in this version?

    It's still not listed at the site, butt it's out there.
    I've got the update by using nokia software updater.
    When *#0000# is entered in the main screen of
    my nokia 6500 slide it comes with a screen that reports this:
    Nokia 6500s-1
    V 10.00
    06-03-09
    RM-240
    (C)Nokia
    Variant: 00.00
    Virtual Variant:
    No virtual variant

    It's still a pitty that there is still no information aviable for
    this firmware version, they need to be more open about it.

  • Nokia 6500 Classic\Slide Firmware version 8.30

    I've recently installed firmware version 8.30 on my Nokia 6500 Slide, can anyone tell me what the changes are in this recent firmware version?
    Can't find anywhere what has changed in this firmware update, also not with Google.

    I have noticed a couple of things:
    1) When taking pics it looks like it has fixed the bug I had that I could not use the middle button sometimes when taking pics (was only intermittent)
    2) It has a really annoying message when fully charged to say 'remove charger to save energy' which is very annoying!

  • Nokia 6500 slide problem after updated to firmware...

    Hi, I have recently updated my nokia 6500 slide with the latest firmware version 9.40. I realise that after the upgrade, my phone encounters problem reading the SD memory card. It happens intermittently, sometimes you see, sometimes you don't. Initially I thought it was due to my memory card but after replacing it with a new one, problem still occurs.

    It looks like something on your system caused the updater to crash.
    Unfortunately your only option for that model is to take it to a nokia care point for repair. Tere's nothing else that you can do for it.
    Care points/service centres and repair info:
    UK • Europe • Asia-Pacific • USA •
    Canada • Middle East and Africa
    Elsewhere: Click here, select your country, go to the support section, then select repair.

  • 6500 Slide new firmware 9.60

    It seems there's new software out today, version 9.60 for the 6500 slide.
    I'm currently on v8.30. Has anyone updated and can tell me of any new features, bugs, etc?
    My last post on this got deleted for some reason - mods, do not delete without telling me why!
    Thanks,
    Jon.

    I upgraded - make sure you do back up as it wipes everything & restores to basics (even pre loaded files, themes were back)
    Have not found any benefits, but a retrograde step is (as older phones) you are now limited again to 50 members in a group! I only worked this out because PC suite did not restore all contacts - when I tried adding again got an error message
    Raise with Nokia but, as usual, got standard response - showing they had not actually read my question

  • 6500 Slide + Mac = Update Issues

    I'm wanting to update the firmware on my 6500 Slide, I'm on a Mac. I have BT, and the update section on my phone allows me to update using BT. I just can't find the darned software to download. The beta Mac software doesn't support this phone... LOL. Any help?
    Currently I'm on v 04.81.

    Hi 6500macman
    Unfortunately you would have to install Windows under BootCamp or use Parallels on your Mac to enable you to use Nokia Software Updater. Although there has been a menu option for updates over the air, in view of increasing size of firmware update and a reluctance for networks to embrace this feature it has never come to anything.
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • 6500 Slide screensaver no coming on

    Hi all,
    I have my 6500 Slide connected via Bluetooth to my work PC and my home PC, for syncing contacts and to-do items. This works fine.
    When I first hooked it up to the work PC, the sync worked with no problems, but the screensaver stopped working (the display just sat at the main screen showing the wallpaper) After some fiddling, the screensaver started working again.
    Now, I've connected it to my home PC, and the screensavers' stopped working again. It's definitely enabled in the settings. I'm hoping someone who's had this problem might remember how to fix it (unlike myself).
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Fixed it, turned the phone off (to check firmware version), turned it on and screensaver worked...

  • 6500 slide issues (list it here)

    I hope to create a single thread to list and discuss all issues users are having with their 6500 slide.
    Let me start with mine:
    V 0.380
    10-09-07
    RM-240
    Variant: 255.02
    1. sometimes the buttons (numbers or options) becomes unrepsonsive; give it a wait and it works again.
    2. Ringtone and Message Alert tone goes back to default; or display some weird alphabet+numbers after a while. And i had to manually set back my favourite ringtone for both calls and message. This happens to the default 'General' and renaming MyStyle1.
    3. do you find the battery lasting? not for me.

    I got my 6500 slide 3 days ago and I have the same firmware version as you - as well as some of the same problems.
    The screen/buttons hang, and I have to wait or press the end button repeatedly to get back to the main screen and start all over again. A few times I had to repeatedly push the unlock + * buttons to unlock the phone. I also have problems viewing my contact info in the PC Suite...
    And I have scratches on the "2" key on the number pad. Is this just "wear" or is it a defect, as I see this problem reported by many others. I'd like to know so that I don't look like I have OCD when I go to the store for an exchange.

  • Polish Language Pack for 6500 Slide Nokia

    Greetings!
    I am based in Great Britain and have purchased a Nokia 6500 Slide on a "Pay and Go" sim card on the 02 network in England for my Polish Girlfriend.
    The phone only has some European languages and there is no option for the Polish Language. Is there any software/firmware or language packs that I can download to the phone? Any advice gratefully recieved.
    Thanks in advance.

    you can take the phone to the nokia care point service to install your polish language.

  • Phone update for 6500 slide

    I have used Nokia Software Updater before to update this type of phone and it updated okay to the latest firmware.
    But this latest phone it won't recognise, i am using a standard nokia USB cable and it does keep losing connection so i thought it could be a broken cable but i think it could be the phone not being recognized as it came from China and seems to have Chinese Network and Pinyin branding because if you do a factory reset it defaults to Chinese language.
    I am able to use Virgin Sim card and also eventually got T-moble internet access on the phone.
    Software Details are -
    V 05.41
    30-11-07
    RM-278
    (c) Nokia
    It always defaults to upper case when texting.
    Will debranding get rid of the chinese?

    Please, try the Nokia Software Recovery Tool first. Is your Nokia 6500 slide shown in the Nokia Suite or the PC Suite? If not, is your phone correctly shown in the Windows Device Manager? If not, did you right-click in the Windows Device Manager and select ‘Update Driver …’?

    If you want to get rid of this uppercase stuff (because of Chinese), you have to change the set of languages. The set of languages are determined by the firmware variant. And the firmware variant is determined by the 7-letter (product) code which is printed on the label underneath the battery.
    If you change the model code (RM-xxx) you break your phone because those firmwares do not fit to the hardware (frequency bands, …).
    Okay, changing the product code, officially only Nokia Care Points do that, officially. It won’t fix your Nokia Software Updater issue but that uppercase stuff.
