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 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,

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

  • Text templates (6500 slide)

    Hi there, just got my Nokia 6500 slide 2 days ago and i think it's great, however i can't figure out a way to edit the existing text templates or to add new ones.
    Thanks in advance.

    You make your template like making a txt message to send but instead of sending your txt message you go to Save and then As Template.
    Then the message you just did is added to the Template folder for you to use

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Phone update for 6500 slide

    I have used Nokia Software Updater before to update this type of phone and it updated okay to the latest firmware.
    But this latest phone it won't recognise, i am using a standard nokia USB cable and it does keep losing connection so i thought it could be a broken cable but i think it could be the phone not being recognized as it came from China and seems to have Chinese Network and Pinyin branding because if you do a factory reset it defaults to Chinese language.
    I am able to use Virgin Sim card and also eventually got T-moble internet access on the phone.
    Software Details are -
    V 05.41
    30-11-07
    RM-278
    (c) Nokia
    It always defaults to upper case when texting.
    Will debranding get rid of the chinese?

    Please, try the Nokia Software Recovery Tool first. Is your Nokia 6500 slide shown in the Nokia Suite or the PC Suite? If not, is your phone correctly shown in the Windows Device Manager? If not, did you right-click in the Windows Device Manager and select ‘Update Driver …’?

    If you want to get rid of this uppercase stuff (because of Chinese), you have to change the set of languages. The set of languages are determined by the firmware variant. And the firmware variant is determined by the 7-letter (product) code which is printed on the label underneath the battery.
    If you change the model code (RM-xxx) you break your phone because those firmwares do not fit to the hardware (frequency bands, …).
    Okay, changing the product code, officially only Nokia Care Points do that, officially. It won’t fix your Nokia Software Updater issue but that uppercase stuff.

  • 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 THE WORST PHONE EVER!

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

  • Help with 6500 slide

    hi everyone. i have recently got a 6500 slide phone and was wondering is there anywhere i can find some complete instructions for it? i used to have a sony and that would tell me things like battery % and the text alert would only last for 10 seconds. also if im playing a game i have to exit to read a text. can the be changed on my nokia? many thanks Alan

    Hi Bighammerfan,
    Nokia have a whole section of their site dedicated to support and help for all their products.
    Here is the link to the 6500 Slide support pages
    There are guides, a how to section and FAQs too.
    I hope this helps.

  • 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 stalling when sending MMS

    Just recently, my 6500 slide won't send MMS messages. It just seems to be stalling and then ages later, I'm getting a message saying that message sending failed.
    I'm not always receiving MMS messages either - I get the same message - that message sending has failed.
    If I try to resend or retrieve, it's just hanging and then telling me that it's failed again.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks,
    Alison

    hey thanks for helping! i appreciate it. well i dont know if my settings are all correct, but it seems fine to me. in my account, i did apply for texting for both sms/mms, and mms works if i put my sim card in my other phone, but for some reason this phone just wont work with mms.  i dont think the 6500 slide was a USA phone so could that be the problem?
    if i were to contact my service provider about this problem, could they help?
    yes, i never did recieve the sms setting from nokia. i entered my number and all that good stuff in there about 5 times and never recieved an sms.
