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.

  • 6500 slide battery issue

    Got a new 6500 slide on thurs, charged it overnight as was told by shop, and by friday night after checking out the phones features, sending around 15 txt, and receiving 1 phone call, i get the battery low sign...
    Looking at the specs on the website, its supposed to have 13.25 (i think) days standby time, so with minimal usage, around 6 days? I cant even get one, what should i do?

    Hi,
    I had my 6500 slide in Steel delivered just over a month ago and had read many worrying reviews about the battery life. I'd also read many reviews that said the opposite though.
    After carefully charging the Li-Poly battery for a good 16 hours on the first charge, the phone managed a paltry 24 hours just like yours. I continued for 6 days completely discharging the phone and then recharging it fully to no avail. I turned off all the power hunger features (3G, Bluetooth, Screensaver etc ) and turned on the power saving mode. Still nothing.
    I called my operator who claimed they'd never heard of this sort of problem. I demanded a replacement battery immediately, which duly arrived two days later. Transit seemed to have scuffed the edges of this battery as it had simply been thrown in a paper envelope (no bubble wrap) but I noticed it was a Li-Ion battery unlike the Li-Poly that Nokia issued in the box.
    This has TRANSFORMED the battery life. It will run for up to 6 days with normal use eg. Permanent standby, a few calls, lots of music on the commute, some texting and the odd Photo (I'm impressed with the camera).
    Get a replacement battery ASAP, I'd go for the older LI-ION even though it's a bit heavier. With all the Stainless Steel you don't notice.

  • 6500 slide voice issue

    Hi all,
    This is my first post so I hope someone can help.
    I have a 6500 slide and have been told that you can set the phone to voice the name of a person calling you (if they are in you contact list)
    Can anyone advise how I switch this option on
    Cheers
    MrFish
    Solved!

    some phones may have the application in it but s60 phones are more complex than s40 and there is a great range of apps and tools for these phones check this site out and have a look http://mosh.nokia.com/

  • Software issue with nokia 6500 slide handsets

    Hi All
    I have 2 nokia 6500 slide handsets that seem to have the same issue that driving me mad..
    It seems no matter how many times i set a ringtone and screen saver, the phone reverts back to the standard nokia ringtone and a blank screensaver???
    I have phoned my network provider who dont seem to be of any help at all and just keep advising me that i should try upgrading the software via the pc suite which ive done several times with no fix!
    Im thinking this must be a fault with this handsets/ software as both my phones are doin it and also 3 of my friends phones also are doin the same thing!
    Does anyone know why this keeps happening as im really getting fedup with having to reset my ringtone/ screen saver all the time..
    Thanxs rich

    I purchaced a nokia 6500 slide around christmas 08 and by janurary it was away getting fixed because of the phone whiting out resetting scrambling my contacts wouldnt take pictures wouldnt read my memory card because of the stupid clip on the back which you need so it will read it is now august 09 it has been away for repairs 3 times in total it has spent about 3 months away being repaired so i do not reccomend buying one waste of money and time thanks nokia job well done. 

  • 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 usb issue?

    Recently purchased a 6500 slide and have been loving it (despite it's hefty weight for such a small phone) but have a query about it's USB port.
    Does the phone charge via the micro usb port?
    I bought a car charger that plugs into the usb port but it doesn't work. Thinking it might be the phone i plugged into my pc with the data link cable. I was able to transfer files to and from the phone and memory card but it still didn't charge while it was connected.

    maybe the 6500 slide can only be charged through the USB port using specialised car kit?...i have not charged the phone using the USB cable yet~but try to think: if the cable has to do 2 different tasks(file transfer and charging) at 1 time,wouldn't the transfer rate be extremely slow?..

  • 6500 SLIDE THE WORST PHONE EVER!

    Does anyone used the Nokia 6500 Slide in here? Because I had so many problem on this phone, 2 weeks when I just had the phone screen when white blank on me while im talking on the phone or text message then several months later phone start to be slow till the phone I can't even play any music on my phone. I'm so sick this model because so many people I know brought this model having so many issued like me. So one suggest don't buy this model...

    Hi,
    Have you updated your phone? There is a new version for it - v8.30. You can check your current version by pressing *#0000# on the standby screen.
    Try updating your phone's firmware by clicking to this link below:
    http://europe.nokia.com/A4579163
    Make sure you meet the system requirements before proceeding and backup some of your important contents.
    If the phone still does not show any improvement, I suggest you to send the phone to the Nokia Care Centre near you.
    Good luck

  • 6500 Slide: Require software for internet connecti...

    Hi
    I have a nokia 6500 slide mobile phone and have just purchased an add-on for the internet so that I can access the www via my notebook.  The mobile company '3' said to download PC Suite from the nokia site.
    My problem is: When searching on the 'downoad software' page, the 6500 slide is not listed.  Please can anyone help, where I can download the correct software and version so I can use the internet on my laptop via my mobile phone.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Broken 6500 Slide

    Hi all,
    Wondering if anyone can help or provide advice info on costs etc.  Dropped my 6500 slide yesterday and as expected from said drop the phone is basically kaput.  The screen shows slight lines across to show that its more than likely cracked (not massively though) and it does not power up at all.
    This is the best phone I have and with xmas coming I can't afford a new handset myself nor can request for a prezzie (we are pitching in for a new matress me and the wife - please, no sordid quips ).
    So I was wondering what prices are likely to be sending it off for a possible repair as this seems the cheaper option?  Is there a way of getting a quote before sending it to nokia repair centre (case of ringing them etc) or has anyone used the repair service in past for similar problems and could offer price guidence.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • 6500 slide - how to have the message tone silent b...

    So frustrating.
    I've tried all teh profiles and carefully made sure that the message tone is off, and then what do you know - beep beep !
    I work in an open plan office and this is not a good thing to have happen.
    Never had this problem with any phone before.
    Reading on here - I think it may be a software problem and I just need to connect and update it ?
    Can anyone confirm that they have had the same problem and it was fixed like this ?
    Thanks !

    further to my earlier posts I have now been advised by my providers technical department (and I must say very pleased that someone actually spoke sense to me and was very helpful, thanks "3" Repairs) that the problem is a "known issue" with the 6500 slide. Apparently some pin on the back is meant to touch something on the phone memory like a reset button, but often it does not, so any profile changes you make are forgotten and it resets to default. So why have Nokia not resolved this?? All very annoying when your siting in a meeting thinking phone on silent, then suddenly, all singing and dancing!!!!!!

  • External SMTP server on Nokia 6500 slide

    Is there any possibility to change the SMTP server setting for email on nokia 6500 slide? When adding an email account the phone automatically assumes that you would like to send the emails thru the mobile providers ISP, but i have an external ISP with SSL login at port 495.
    Is it possible to get any advanced settings in this phone?

  • Nokia 6500 Slide... Adding a receipiant of a text ...

    Hi Guys,
    I have just got a 6500 Slide today and when I go into a text message and into the To: Field i cant just enter the receipiants name.. you have to enter the phone number, or go through the menu and the add receipiant sub-menu.
    I used to be able to just put the first few letters of a name in my contacts into the To: field and it would automatically find the name or give me a list of names that came close but this phone doesnt seem to be able to do it, I have had a read through the manual and there is no information about it.... Is this not a feature on this phone or do I need to select something within my phone? and if I do what do I select???
    Many thanks
    Andy

    Thanks
    Okay, my compiler / code generator is written in Java. Thus the output of javacc plays very well with the rest of the compiler. It is the output of my compiler that is C.
    I currently have something like:
    void State()
      (Entry())?
    void Entry()
      <ENTRY>
      <LEFTBRACE>
        (nothing here yet)
      <RIGHTBRACE>
    }What does one do next? Do I define a token for (.*)? Then do something like x=<THAT_TOKEN> in the middle there? At some point I need to capture the actual code to place into my intermediate representation. None of the capturing parts of the input to the IR is done yet.
    void Entry()
      <ENTRY>
      <RANGLEBRACE>
        (something)
      <LANGLEBRACE>
    }Cheers

  • 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.

    What I'm trying to do is to create a new Project from the scratch, update the Issues List, not deleting or modifying columns, just creating new columns in order to match the names he (the Project Manager) put in his Issues List, then Export the list to Excel,
    and then create a datasheet view matching the Exported list, but here I don't know how to import the list (copy / paste or whatsoever it can be done...)
    Do you know how to do it, or do you know another/any method to solve this problem?
    Thank you in advance,
    José Espases

    Hi José,
    2 considerations: 
    The first one is that (as you experienced) one should not delete or rename any of the predefined columns in the risk/issue list. What you did is the right way, meaning keeping the native column as is and creating new ones based on the business needs. Finally
    you just need to create view with the appropriate fields.
    Then for importing risks from an Excel list, I can't test it right now, but you should have a datagrid view (MS Access type) allowing you pasting data from Excel.
    Hope this helps,

  • Since I can not log in bug report page, not even getting an error message, I'll write all my issues with ios8 here...

    Since I can not log in bug report page, not even getting an error message, I'll write all my issues with ios8 here... I have an iphone 4S and I did the last update. Now I am in trouble.
    1. When I move the "sound on/off" button, I get it buzzing 10 times before the setting is changed and I can do anything else, just not reacting to the round button on screen touches.
    2. Impossible to copy text from most websites into notes.
    3. Impossible to delete an email account in settings.
    4. Uses up the battery twice as fast as before. I have "update apps" setting turned off, just reading a couple of mails, making a couple of photos and open maps apps twice a day, and the battery is dead well before the evening.
    5. Got extremely slow, and it was getting slower and slower with every system update.
    I'm sure I forgot something... But well, that already a lot.

    Well, actually number 3 in my list is not true any more, I just tried to delete my account 15 times, then I've written my post, then half an hour later my Settings finally updated my accounts list. Whohoo
    I did not try restoring it yet, thank you for the link!
