6500 slide sms problem

I got this phone today, all looks good except it wont let me send texts or some other features. I can call without problem.
The error in the notes of the messages which can't be sent is:
Message sending failed No network support for messages.
It's really annoying me I have tried changing the settings. Any ideas how I can fix this? Have contacted tmobile but don't want to have to said 5 days for a responce!

if at all possible try to go on tmobile support site and either have the mms, sms settings resend to your phone or look them up. this might just be your issue. try that first

Nokia 6500 Slide SMS retrival

I have a Nokia 6500 Slide that is unusable at the moment. There are a lot of very important sms stored in the phone that I would like to retrieve. I brought it to the Nokia care centre in Singapore but they were unable to help as they no longer have the software and hardware to service the phone.
Is there anywhere else I can send the phone to to retrieve the sms stored in the phone? I'm quite sure the messages are still in there; i just need to get them out as the data contained are of utmost importance to me.
Thank you very much.

Well there are data retrieval companies but they may charge a large amount to do so. But i can't name one as i don't know.
Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

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?

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

6500 Slide Counter problem

Is there a way to turn off the picture counter auto reset?
Everytime I move the pictures to the computer the counter starts over from Pic000 is there anyway to turn this off? I want it to keep on counting so I dont get any "replace existing file" when I move the pictures to the computer.

had this problem for ages too and it irritated the hell out of me. i only just found that you can use the 'default title' option
type in what you want your photos to be named as ie picture, image
then it'll automatically number them correctly as the number of pics taken rather than trying to fill in the numbers.
I put in "Nokia6500slide" so i could keep track of what phone the pics came from, and it puts the correct numbers at the automatically in proper order of how many pics the camera has taken since then (even when you change folders or delete photos it seems as far as i can tell
hope you get this and hope it helps

Nokia 6500 (slide) and problems with Pc Suite

Survey first:
What version of Windows is being used?
Windows Vista
What Service Pack is installed?
Service Pack 1
What version of PC Suite is installed?
7.0.8.2
What is the connection method, cable, bluetooth or IR?
I have both cable and bluetooth. Tried both.
I have a problem connecting my phone to Nokia PC Suite. I know I get the connection because I was able to use update manager to install new updates to my phone. I also tried to reinstall PC Suite and it didn't help.
Here is what happens, I will explain with screenshots. I just connected my phone via bluetooth or cable (doesn't matter - I get same results)

PC Suite shows me that my N6500 is connected:
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/4341/39312796ad5.jpg
Yet, if I click "Contacts" I get a contacts application with no contacts, while it shows that my nokia is connected. On my phone I have contact on the sim card as well as the phone. I copied them from sim and the in the view option check to hide the sim contacts. I got to at least show the ones that are on the phne, but it shows nothing:
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1541/95660645in9.jpg
Other stuff doesn't work too, like here is what happens when I try to Back-up:
http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/4949/71941457xy9.jpg
I also don't see anything in "Nokia Phone Browser" when I enter it through "My Computer"
I really need it to work. How can I fix this problem?

Just uninstalled the old version, downloaded and installed the latest version and I still have problems.
I just noticed though that "Phone selector" sees both connections USB and Bluetooth and give me a choice which on to go with, but I can't high light ether one to go to a next page...
http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/488/17101536an7.jpg
One more thing. As you can see on the screenshot, one of the icons shows that my phone is connected, while the other one doesn't. I thought maybe that can help somehow..

6500 slide code problem

the key safety code is not 12345 .I have tried everything !what do I do?

Hi elli,
Just got a reply back from Nokia and I have posted the reply that I received, hope that it will work for you
wipperwill
Thank you for emailing Nokia Care.
With regard to your email, If your phone is prompting you for a security code and you have not activated one, please try the following:
Enter the default security code: 12345. Only try this once.
If your phone still requests a security code, please bring it to the nearest Nokia service centre for inspection.
Please note that some operators configure phones so that they only work with their SIM cards. In this case, if you enter the wrong code three or more consecutive times, the phone may lock permanently. If this happens, contact your operator or service provider for assistance.
In other cases when you enter the wrong code three or more consecutive times, the phone switches to a "sleep mode" and does not accept any entries for the next 15 minutes. In this case, power the phone off, then back on, let it sit idle or untouched for 15 minutes, then try again or bring it to a Nokia Care Point.
Contact details of your nearest Service Point can be found at:

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 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.

@L-OS
I forgot to ask, are you using the prelaoded messaging app?
any taskillers or antivirus?
ram apps, booster apps?
third party home launchers?

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

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.
