6500 Slide Limitations on Message Recepients

Hello,
I had used N72 and then shifted to 6500 Slide recently.
What annoys me is there is a limitation of 20 receipients for a text message.
Even if my mailer group is more than 20 it accepts only 20 recepients.
My software is 4.84 and i am facing Handset HANG during call.
This is very sad part of 6500.
Any solution available for this.

You could try turning the phone off, take the back cover off, remove the battery,memo card and the sim card. Wait approximately 10 mins then put the SIM card and battery,memo card back in, replace cover and turn the phone back on.
dont attempt a self fix take it to a nokia care centre to be fixed

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!!!!!!

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 sms size indicator

Hi
I have a 6500 slide, and regularly send long texts, a friend was showing me her phone (Sony Ericson) has an indicator as to when you have reached the limit of 1 SMS message as you type. Having been cained by using my phone abroad this month, it would have been useful to have this indicator set up in my messages. I have looked in the manual, but not seen it there. Does the 6500 have that facility to set an indicator?
I hope that makes sense!
Thanks
FC

a single text message is limited to 160 characters. on s60 phones somewehre on the screen there is a 160 indicator and it depletes the longer your message, when you run out of characters it will show you 2 indicating that you have started your second message. look either on top right or left for the 160
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

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 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.

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
Language:

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

6500 Slide Text Freeze

Hi all,
I'm getting a problem with my 6500 slide, whereby the 2 blue buttons below the screen (the ones for options and clear/exit) just stop responding when I write a text message.
There doesn't seem to be any common factor that causes it, the only way i've found to get the buttons to work again is by closing and then re-opening the slide - this works 95% of the time.
I held on for the update, and put on v4.81 when it was release but still have the same issue.
Anyone else had this problem and found a resolution?
Thanks
Rob

Probably a hardware fault, I think you should take it to a Nokia Care Point. Repair will be free if your device is under warranty.

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.

Unlock my Nokia 6500 slide

good evening,
I bought a mobile (Nokia 6500 slide) with SFR in France. I missed six months and I wanted to unblock it but the code to disable the restriction, is not good and he told me that this is a problem that needs to be addressed at Nokia. So I would like to know steps to unblock it, thank you.
Best regards

I'm aware that SFR told you to contact Nokia, and they told you wrong.
What you should be aware of is the fact that mobile network operators do not hesitate to lie to their clients to make themselves look clean and shift the blame for any wrongdoing to the manufacturer.
If SFR got the restriction code wrong it is up to them to try again and get it right. SFR sending you to Nokia is not going to help because Nokia cannot generate the restriction code. These codes are the sole responsibility of the operators who enforce the SIM-lock, and the operators know this full well.
Try SFR again, but don't let them send you back to Nokia. Be persistent. If the front-line customer service is unable to help then ask to have the matter escalated to someone with half a clue who might actually know what he or she is talking about.
Also bear in mind that SFR are crooks as far as I'm concerned. They've tried everything in the book to extort money from me and succeeded on one occasion (charging me €7.50 for a PUK code given over the phone when no such code was given, I had the SIM-lock lifted from my phone more than 6 months after taking out the contract and it was supposed to be free).

Volume on alert tones 6500 slide

Hi I've recently changed from a 6300 to 6500 slide and overall I'm really pleased with it. However, the volume for the message alert tones is really loud. On the 6500 it the volume is really loud and it had the added benefit of flashing. The software on the 6500 is V04.84. Anybody any idea how I can increase the message alert volume. I have the ringtone volume set at maximum and this is great.

Somewhat embarrasing, but I figure post this so others can use it - have figured it out... open the gallery of alert tones and start playing them, then use the volume adjustment keys on the side of the phone to increase their volume while they are playing. This will then affect the volume they play at when actually selected as the alert tone.

6500 slide freezes when receiving SMS

hi,
I own a brand new 6500 slider, its only a few weeks old and it has a very upsetting bug.
when the music player is on and the keys lock automatically (set for 1 minute), and i receive an SMS, the phone simply freezes.
The keys are useless, the light wont even turn on when i open the slide, the screen still turns of in its fashionable manner... the only thing i can really do about it is removing and returning the battery to its socket.
Software version is 4.84.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
nucleus.

I forgot to ask, are you using the prelaoded messaging app?
