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...

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.
Stef

It sounds like a hardware problem. Unfortunately we can only help with settings and software issues here.

Setting up yahoo email on Nokia 6500 Slide??

Hi Guys
Well after going into various shops and looking at forums and being told you cant set up yahoo email on phone unless you buy the yahoo premium package i was overjoyed i found the settings at http://europe.nokia.com/A4144889
I get my yahoo emails appear in my email inbox on my phone ive setup. When i want to delete them i click on delete from phone. The email stays there but says deleted from phone underneath, but hasnt gone. Does anyone know how i can get rid of it totally from my phone but keep it on my email server??
Also i want to set up another one (i have 2 yahoo accounts)
On the settings you get sent to your phone from the website above it says choose email provider so i choose Yahoo UK. It then creates 2 inboxs on my phone both called Yahoo UK. I cant find an option on the phone to change the name Yahoo UK
Any ideas??
Does anyone know when Yahoo GO! is going to be made for Nokia 6500 Slide. On the website it says coming soon. Man in Phones 4U has got 6500 Classic and it works on his
Thanks
Vicky

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.

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

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!

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
I already try *#7073# But It doesn't work ,
If Anybody know to make a hard reset please help

I'v got te same problem with my 6500 Slide, is there a button combination that we have to press
to hard reset the 6500 Slide?!
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.

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
V 10.00

Virtual Variant:
No virtual variant

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.
