6500 Slide Ridiculus speaker problems.

Hi,
I have had my 6500 slide for 5 months, and in 5 months have had 5 handsets as everytime the speaker fails within days.
I have had my current one 1 week and it has gone already, it is amazing they are allowed to keep selling these phones.
I am about to take mine back to carphone and argue until they change it to another model, if I have to put up with this for another year I will go mad.
Has anybody else had this problem?
Thanks, Tim

true, well i have had my nokia slide for about a month now, but just today i've realised that when i call people and when they call me, i cannot here anything through the speaker... but they can hear me.
but otherwise when i'm playing music and such on the phone the speaker works fine.
.... i dunno, this is probably a different problem to yours..
but anyway

Nokia 6500s Slide Animated Wallpaper problem

Has anyone else had this problem. I have the 6500 Slide phone with version 10 rm240 firmware on it and downloaded a theme onto it which has a flash file of a clock and date on it and falling snow. Everything runs fine the snow falls on the standby wallpaper and in the screensaver until I put on the bluetooth then the trouble starts, the clock stops (seconds as well and the second hand on the analog clock) and the snow stops falling. It is almost like the bluetooth turned on is conflicting with the swf file. Anyone else experienced that or is it just with my handset? Thanks.

...... can anyone help? - i cant even get an answer from nokia support when i emailed them!

6500 Slide terrible sound quality

Hello,
i just replaced my SE k810 for a Nokia 6500 slide. The problem with the K810 was battery which only lasted for one day. So i thought i`d give Nokia a try. Compared to the SonyEricsson phone, however the sound quality in Nokia is terrible. When i dial a number and press the call button the phone starts buzzing in my ear and the buzzing continues throughout the call. The sound that i hear is metallic and some of the tones seem to be missing at all.
Is this a common problem with this phone? I already returned the phone back to the service but as far as i know all they do there is updating the software, which does not fix anything. 6500 slide owners please comment on the problem.
TY

I agree, the sound quality, among other things make this the worst phone I have ever had. Nothing works on this stupid phone and no one wants to fix it because the say that it has been damaged by rain. Well, that is not strange when it is open in the top ( you charge the phone from the top, stupid feature). So I have a phone that I can't use...

6500 slide camera probs

Hello, I am new to this forum but am hoping someone can help me. I have just bought a 6 month old handset as a replacement for my own 10 month old handset which met with a rather unfortunate accident. I never had any probs with my own phone but this new one says camera on standby whenever you try & use the camera and nothing I do gets rid of this. From what I have since read on the net this sounds like a common problem and I was wondering if anyone actually has a fix it that works please.

It's a phone problem, a hardware, but unfortunelly, a general one. Here, in our shop, all 6500 slide have this problem, and lots of clients camed back with this complain..

6500 Slide Camera Button ?

Is anyone having difficulty with the side camera button on their 6500 Slide.
It auto-focuses with the half way press without any problems, but I'm finding that you have to press it down really quite hard for it to actually take the picture.
What are your thoughts on this, is it a hardware fault ?
Many thanks.

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.

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.

6500 Slide Problems

Hello,
I brought a Nokia 6500 Slide about a month ago, about a week ago all the buttons stopped working except for the End Call (red button), so i could only turn it on and off.
Couple days ago they started to work again, but then i came across another problem. Now everytime i switch the phone on if works fine for a couple seconds then resets to the starting screen and switches itself off.
The software version is v8.3
Any help on this please ?
Regards

Probably the best advice ever given to me about this particular model phone (Nokia 6500) was from a tech support guy, who i might add was very patient with a new user (yes new, not novice - don't assume i know nothing about phones) he spoke clearly and slowly these words.
"Ok sir, please give me another number i can contact you on"
- so i gave him the number of my girlfriends phone -
-30 seconds later he calls back on the other number -
"Ok now go ahead and power down (turn off) your phone and allow at least 30 seconds for the power down to finish, now please go ahead and remove the back plate of your phone, now remove your battery and wait a further one minute while we discuss some other features you mentioned earlier" - so he was giving the phone time to go completely dead with no power (battery removed) and kept chatting to me about other features on the phone, while i presume he kept one eye on the clock- after about 3-4 minutes of discussing some other features on the phone, he said "Now go ahead and reassemble the phone, by putting the battery back in and replacing the back plate" -after i had done all this he said- "Now please turn the phone back on and wait at least 2 minutes before touching any other keys" -again he kept me talking about other features on the phone, whilst maintaining one eye on the clock- at the end of it all- "Please reset all your ringtones and personal settings the way you would like them to be" -again he waited on the line while i did this-"Now please if you have any other problems like this, please call us back" and to this day, i have not called them back.
Listen carefully to what a tech support guy says, follow his/her instructions to the letter and you too can have a trouble free Nokia 6500 like me.
Occasionally when my phone does this default reset - i feel as though it might be a problem with the interface between the mico SD card and the phone's ability to communicate between the 2. So a simple hard reset as described above almost always fixes the problem. Nokia's source coding would be older then most people who come on these forums - and have no doubt in saying that there may be some slight glitches in this particular release ... but a simple hard reset almost always fixes this particular problem.
Some programs that run devices are almost mechanical and if they miss a step, have almost no way of reverting back to the previous step, so resetting the phone will take us back to the first step and allow the phone to work it's way through it's own process until the glitch becomes evident again.

Nokia 6500 slide..Bugs and problems..

Just read some posts regarding the nokia 6500 and it seems i too am not alone with the problems on this model..
I have had nothing but problems with this phone and keeps freezing, cuts out whilst in the middle of a call and generally is the most problem ridden phone nokia must have ever produced.
I cant believe that a trusted company the size of nokia would allow a product like this to be released in the uk market.
I do also understand that nokia now have stiff competition from other manafacturers. And have to fight for the share of the market place. But releasing inferior phones that obviously havent passed the research stage Is hardly the way to keep the customers that they have..
I cant wait till my phone is repaired and put for sale on E bay..Anyone recommend a non nokia alternative...
Anyone considering a phone has to avoid a nokia 6500 slide.

From what you have read, same situation with the 6500 Classic?
I was going to get that one?
Thnx

6500 slide syncro problems

I just got a new 6500 slide and I wanted to synchronize it with my old e61 but it is impossible
it is saying that I should check the connectivity. but everything is alright. the bluetooths are on, they do find each other, but as soon as it starts doing it, it stops...

i have the same problems. i went back with it to orange and it kept it for about a month to repair my keypad. when i got it back the camera key on the side of the phone was not working and the problems started to come. memory card can not be read. the phone tells me i erased the memory card but it is still in the phone. i can;t write a message because of the big delay. but if i take out the memory card it works properly. but i installed the new software and now i have no memory. i can;t even write a reminder and save it. what is there to do?

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.

Canada • Middle East and Africa

Nokia 6500 slide problem

My 6500 slide keeps changing the theme and ringtone by itself. I changed the micro sd card recently could this somehow be the problem?
Any help appreciated.

The reason for this as I learnt last week is a small switch which is operated by placing the back cover on the phone. Its a 'safety' feature apparently. If you have a picture or ringtone set from the memoery card relese the back. (you will notice it reverts everything back to factory settings. Now do the same but make sure the tone and pic that you use is stored to the phone memory not your card.....presto!! it stays on and dosent revert. People around the globe think its a software bug when actually its not. It prevents you losing data from your memory card. I am currently trying to find out if this feature can be disabled. Its stupid, I know!!!!!

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

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 ,
