6500 Slide - FM Radio

Hello All,
When i select the FM radio through "menu" and then "media" I receive the message "radio off". I have updated to the latest firmware (9.4) and reset to factort settings but the "radio off" message remains. I am using the supplied headset.
Does anyone know how to turn the radio on?
Thanks a lot
Charles

The FM radio depends on an antenna other
than the wireless device antenna. A
compatible headset or enhancement
needs to be attached to the device for the
FM radio to function properly.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Hello,
I've recently got a new 6500 slide, it's an O2 model but I'm using it on Virgin (or T-Mobile as the phone tells me!)
Anyway, it was fine for a couple of weeks and I'm very happy with it generally, until yesterday when mid call the other person could no longer hear me, and now the same on every call I make or receive. It seems as though the microphone has just simply given up, I've tried taking the sim and battery out for a few minutes - just on the off chance really but as I thought that didn't work!
Also, and this isn't so much of a problem, just strange - whenever I take the cover off the back I lose my wallpaper!
Anyone got any ideas.....??

Problems with 6500 Slide

I`ve had the 6500 slide for about a week and theres 2 problems. First is that during voice calls the line is very `crackly` and the other person can`t hear me and sometimes hangs up. And secondly there is sometimes a delay of about 30 mins in me receiving text messages. This isn`t due to the clock time as some people have reported. People have been phoning me thinking i`ve been ignoring them but i haven`t actually received their messages yet.Can anyone help or suggest anything?

I've had mine a few days and I can report the following problems. When you tune the radio, the phone freezes. You can't exit the radio setting screen, with either a red button press or pressing "exit." The phone switches on and off quite a bit, and the battery life is non-existent. The 6233 on GSM only gave three or four days easy. This one is 24 max. Otherwise, the phone freezes pretty regularly. Most annoying of all, the loudspeaker is terrible. The location of the speaker BEHIND the handset is one of the biggest engineering gaffs I have ever seen from Nokia. The loudspeaker quality of this handset is useless.

Nokia 6500 slide & micro SDHC compatibility

hi!
I just got my nokia 6500 slide & wanted to pair it up with a good memory card (I was thinking 6 GB, initially, then I read some of the comments in this board and desisted).
hence, I was wondering whether it accommodates 4GB Micro SDHC cards, which are slightly larger than the regular Micro SD cards. While going through previous postings I found two contradictory comments (one says yes, the other no), so I wanted to double check with current 6500 owners before buying my own card.
thanks!

oh , its been a while , I'd like to thank you all for replying to my query above , ive already got the phone ... no problems of resetting ringtones/themes so far.. unless ofcourse yes you remove the backcover and your tones/themes were stored on the mc , mine are on the ph.memory.
overall good phone.. though it hangs when manual tuning the Radio FM.
I've not got a microsdhc card for it yet.. ok to the above post im assuming it wont take a 4GB KINGSTON microSDHC or it wont take in Kingston as a brand...
I'm going to bite the bullet and try out what Knapjee here tried - sandisk 4gb microsdhc .. though i'd like reassurances.
Cheers for now ,

Nokia 6500 Slide Micro SD Password Problems

Was having problems with my Nokia 6500 slide so brought it into my nearest repair store and the upgraded the software (so they told me). As you know I lost all my settings and anything in the phones memory but I had taken out my microsd card before this and when I put it back in it was asking for a 'password' which I never had in the first place!!!
Now all my memorable pics and videos seem to be gone forever unless I can open it.
Tried passwords like - 1234,12345,.adgj,00000,5555,9999,password,5y5tem,nokia,memcard etc.
I also tried to open it on my laptop which it kept flashing on and off so couldnt open it!!!
Any suggestions would be very helpful

Problem with Contacts for 6500 slide

I recently bought a Nokia 6500 slide and i`m very pleased, except one thing.
I used to have some other phones, and all my contacts were on the memory of that phone (not on the SIM).
For me to have my contacts on the 6500 slide, i had to move all those contacts on the sim, then insert the sim into the 6500 slide and move them again from there to the phone memory (i hate having my contacts on the sim couse i can't add any aditional info).
Ok, so.. after i moved all my contacts to the phone memory, i saw that from about 200 contacts, i only have about 20. At first i thought "ok, there was a problem with the moving process and i lost them all..." I was just about getting over this, when I realized that those numbers that I lost are still in there, but i can't see them.
If I manualy enter a number of a contact that don't show in my Contacts List, when it dials, the number appears on the screen. Same if that contact calls me. I can't see them in the Contact List tho.
It's like there are hidden or something..
I tried changing the settings so that i can see only the contacts in the SIM (in which case, none apear), only in the phone (only those 20 or so appear) or showing both (still, only 20 or so appear).
The contacts are not in the SIM couse i tried putting the sim back in the old phone, and it's empty.
They must be somewhere in the phone. Is there a hidden setting that i can find, that allows me to see those contacts that I thought I lost? It's very annoying to wait till someone calls me so I can add his number again in the phonebook
To be more specific, let me give an example.
Let's say I had contact "John" with the number "12345678". Now I can't see it anymore.
If i dial 12345678 and then hit "Call", it apears like "Calling John"
If John calls me, it apears like "John" on the screen.
If i try to add John to the phone book I get a message like "A name is already entered for that number"
It's like... all the contacts are already there, but I can't see them
Can someone help me please... I`m really desperate

Hello and welcome to the forums;
First, you mention the error references a SIM card, however your profile says you have a Sprint device. A small problem there, and I would like to clear up any confusion as which device you have: a Sprint CDMA device, or one with a SIM card.
Second, have you tried restarting your device? Hold down the power button and move the ringer mute switch next to it back and forth 3 times, then wait 4-5 seconds for the device to restart by itself.
Try this, and let us know what happens.

How to use mobile camera 6500 slide as webcam

anyone can help me with this problem?i want to use my mobile camera nokia 6500 slide as webcam on pc.is it any software available for this application. i'm already know about mobiola and wwigo but i can't use them because my phone does not support sis file and my laptop actually does't have bluetooth.plz help me immediately

Nokia 6500 and many other Nokia models use the Series 40
software platform. According to
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Resources_and_Information/Explore/Software_Platforms/Series_40/
it is "the world's most widely used mobile device platform".
Many of the phones have a camera and they are even able to
do video calling (video telephony), e.g. Nokia 3120 classic,
as they have a front camera also.
I'm sure many users of such phones (including me) would like
to have an application that would turn the phone into a
webcam device for a PC.

Can't set the time on the 6500 Slide

I just bought a 6500 slide and can't do one of the most basic things - set the time!
I have gone to auto-update but it is shows the wrong time.
At the time I purchased the handset the sales assistant turned the phone on to check if my sim card was working but he may have saved the incorrect date and time.
I have managed to save the correct date but can't for the life of me now save the correct time.
Can anyone help?
So simple but yet I can't figure it out.
Thanks.

Hi racheljc,
Try this:
Menu
Settings
Time and date
Time
From there, you should be able to change the time.
I hope this helps.

Need Help for Nokia 6500 slide

Hi all I'm A new Guy here ,
But I do really need help for hard reset my phone

If Anybody know to make a hard reset please help

How does the 6500 slide hard reset?
That's simple.
All you have to do is:
From MENU goto SETTINGS, When there scroll down and select 'Restore Factory Setting'.
There are two options in there:
"Restore Settings only"
and
"Restore all"
Select "Restore All"
When done the phone will delete every thing on the Phone memory(C:\)(contacts,picture,messages etc)
and also restore phone to its original settings and will restart.
This proceedure is mostly common on S40 phone.
Hope this explain and solve the problem.

Charging a New 6500 Slide

Handbook suggest around 90 ,but I'm hearing 16 hours to charge a drained (brand new) battery? Is there a problem with the 6500 slide? After an hour of charging I removed the lead and the phone is dead! New phone arrived this morning. Something seems amiss!
Any ideas

A new battery requires a 3 full charge & discharge cycles before it attain it's full power. It takes 2hrs more or less depends on charger & phone model. If you put it on charge for an hour & removing it make the phone dead, its either the battery or the phone power circuitry is defective.
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!

White lines on day old 6500 slide!

Hello, wondering if anyone can give me some advice on my nokia.
This is the second one iv had now in a week and its doing exactly the same. third one in total iv seen do this.
When going through the menu or writing a text, a thin white horizontal line will appear across the screen. it does move up or down and it only lasts about a second. very annoying!
I have also noticed aswell, that when im writing a text and have made a mistake, i could be pressing the cancel button for ages and nothing happens. leave it for a second or 2, press it and it works.... i wouldnt mind if it had been dropped or was years old but seen as its a day old then im worried.
like i said this is the third one iv seen do this.
Help anyone??
Thank you, Vicky x

Hi,
I have just got a 6500 slide and have noticed the same horizontal white line that flashes up when scrolling etc. I thought my phone might have a loose connector, but from your post it seems like they all exhibit this bug.
I would be curious to know if anyone with this phone doesn't see the white line. As it is I think I will just return it and try a different phone.
Thanks,
Paul

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

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

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.
