6500 slide voice issue

Hi all,
This is my first post so I hope someone can help.
I have a 6500 slide and have been told that you can set the phone to voice the name of a person calling you (if they are in you contact list)
Can anyone advise how I switch this option on
Cheers
MrFish
Solved!

some phones may have the application in it but s60 phones are more complex than s40 and there is a great range of apps and tools for these phones check this site out and have a look http://mosh.nokia.com/

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.

6500 slide usb issue?

Recently purchased a 6500 slide and have been loving it (despite it's hefty weight for such a small phone) but have a query about it's USB port.
Does the phone charge via the micro usb port?
I bought a car charger that plugs into the usb port but it doesn't work. Thinking it might be the phone i plugged into my pc with the data link cable. I was able to transfer files to and from the phone and memory card but it still didn't charge while it was connected.

maybe the 6500 slide can only be charged through the USB port using specialised car kit?...i have not charged the phone using the USB cable yet~but try to think: if the cable has to do 2 different tasks(file transfer and charging) at 1 time,wouldn't the transfer rate be extremely slow?..

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.

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

6500 Slide + Mac = Update Issues

I'm wanting to update the firmware on my 6500 Slide, I'm on a Mac. I have BT, and the update section on my phone allows me to update using BT. I just can't find the darned software to download. The beta Mac software doesn't support this phone... LOL. Any help?
Currently I'm on v 04.81.

Hi 6500macman
Unfortunately you would have to install Windows under BootCamp or use Parallels on your Mac to enable you to use Nokia Software Updater. Although there has been a menu option for updates over the air, in view of increasing size of firmware update and a reluctance for networks to embrace this feature it has never come to anything.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

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.

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.

6500 Slide unrecognized USB device

Hi all,
I've been handed my sisters 6500 slide( 555552 RM-240 ) to fix because it wont transfer pics.
Essentially when it's plugged in it prompts for usb mode just fine but shows as an unrecognized device (on three different computers, two windows and linux vis lsusb showing unknown device)
I've tried restoring factory settings which has done absolutely nothing, warranty has expired so taking it to a NCP isn't really an option, does anybody have any ideas?
Cheers

Cheers for the replies but I think my post may have been misunderstood.
I've tried both data storage/mass storage mode and PC suite mode connected to three different computers (two of which have PC Suite installed and recognize my N97 fine.
My problem is the phone is presenting itself as "unknown device" no matter which mode it's in or which computer it's connected to, so I know it's not a driver issue or an issue with the computers, I've also tried a different usb cable.
I'll post the output of lsusb later when I get the phone back to illustrate what I mean
Ta.

6500 SLIDE THE WORST PHONE EVER!

Does anyone used the Nokia 6500 Slide in here? 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

Nokia 6500s Slide 'handsfree' query

Hi
I'd like some help with the problem I have with my Nokia 6500s Slide please. When using the phone on it's own without any bluetooth h/free connected, the speech is very clear on incoming and outgoing calls.
Ok, I've had the phone for a week or so and up until now, it has done what I've asked of it but today I paired up my JABRA 250 BlueTooth and that went ok. The 6500 Slide is set to answer automatically after 5 seconds. I then got my wife to call me and the Jabra 250 automatically picked up the call but there was crackling in the headset and I also get this when I am changing options in the phone menu, the confirmation beep is crackly in the headset.
I've used this JABRA 250 with a few other Nokia models including the 6230, 6300 and also a couple of Motorola models and all of them were fine - i.e. no crackling/interference in the headset.
So I'm just wondering if this is only a problem with the phone when I connect a bluetooth handsfree device or, is it a problem with the Jabra 250?
Regards
brave_heart

Hi radical24
Thanks for your response.
I've had the phone a couple of weeks or so and apart from the bluetooth headset issue, it works fine so I've not updated the firmware as yet.
The firmware as shown by the phone is:
v 08.30
03-07-08
RM-240
Variant: 62.07
With reference to the JABRA 250 BT device, it's right that with every other phone (which have been mostly Nokia), it has worked flawlessly but, it must be around three to four years old now, so it could be breaking down?
I would like to update the firmware but I need to know that the latest firmware is ok and worth updating to and, before I would update, my son is bringing round his newer JABRA 250 for me to try and if that works fine, then my JABRA must be faulty.
On the other hand, if shows the same problems, I may consider a firmware update.
Is the Nokia PC Suite ok to use?
Regards

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.

Can't pair Windows 7 PC with 6500 slide using blue...

I am having problems connecting my Nokia 6500 slide to my new PC with Windows 7 using bluetooth. I am able to connect one time after installing Ovi Suite and sync with outlook, but when I try a second time, it can't connect to the phone. Reboot doesn't help.
I also tried to uninstall Ovi Suite and install PC Suite, but the exact same thing happened.
The IT department at the company I work for have not heard of similar issues.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
BR Jakob Carlsen

It seems that connection and sync is working until I try to use the Nokia Phone Browser under Win 7. After that the phone becomes unreachable via Bluetooth.
Phones firmware is on the latest version 10.0.0

Nokia 6500 Slide!

Please can tell me how the 6500 slide is?
Ive got a Luna at the mo,and im very happy with it.Only annoying thing is that it has NO memory expansion.So im looking for a replacement.Im thinking about the Slide,but i have seen today one which i could change with my luna,and the camera sucks!The photo quality is whorster then the N73 which i think is almost the same quality as the N95,and the video recording was horrible!!I thought the video recording mode of the Slide would be at 30fps,which would be similar to the N95,but it was the same as the 6300 and Luna for example.So how can this be?I really hoped that the pic quality was same like the N73 and the video recording same like the N95 or a bit less.So i dont know if it is the Slide i looked to which was bad(just 20 days old) or is it just how the Slide's are?If all the slide's are like this i will go for the ugly'er but much more quality baring N82 or the SE k850i.Can someone please answer this??

I never said it was the worst phone on the planet, I simply pointed out that it was not always a trouble-free model (you are lucky, you don't seem to have suffered the issue of the badly-fitting backplate whose metal protrusion didn't always contact with the circuit board switch leading to frequent failure to activate memory card access) and gave my honest opinion of it compared with the other phones that the original poster mentioned.
None of that should detract from your enjoyment of your phone; but the 6500 Slide's build quality (however good it may be) will never compare to the 8600 Luna that the other guy is replacing.

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.
