  • Belle for Nokia 500

    any chance that belle will be available as soon as possible to Nokia 500 users worldwide that can fix a lot of issues with 500 like the constant restar, hangin, the low memory message with camera app and the system error with maps app and the system error message that comes for no reason sometimes
    and a lot of issues faced by us users of Nokia 500

    What kind of moderation is this? Nokia itself has announced that the belle update will be available starting February this year. Why the word February been deleted in the above post? There is nothing unofficial about February release of Nokia belle because it was Nokia who announced this news. Even Nokia's Facebook page declares February release. Have some kind of logic in moderation.

  • Will have nokia belle for nokia 500 the forgotten ...

    Really, I had a little disappointment when I bought my nokia 500. I expected to find impressive transition effects when changing between menus or when I bend the phone (changing view landscape/portrait)...
    Surely, these effects will not be available for nokia 500 after nokia belle update, although its 2D graphics capabilities...
    I watch other customization firmwares for Anna on the nokia 500 with these effects enabled and more FPS and they they can be seen incredibly soft and fluid... (you cand find it in internet)
    Please, don't disable them!!!
    many thanks.

    please read!

  • Nokia 500 Symbian Belle?

    Why has postponed the launch of Symbian Belle nokia 500? So large are the problems that we are still delay?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Nokia Belle is specifically tailored to each phone model, including the  Nokia 500. Due to technical specifications, Nokia Belle for Nokia 500 differs to other Nokia Belle phones in the following aspects:
    Nokia 500 with Nokia Belle only supports 4 homescreens.
    Nokia 500 does not support NFC.
    FM transmitter and widget are not supported in Nokia 500.
    Nokia 500 includes Nokia Maps 3.06 instead of 3.08.
    Additionally, Nokia 500 will get Angry Birds with the Nokia Belle update. This update is expected to launch on Feb 15th.

  • Nokia 500 Review on Symbian Belle

    After the update screen went through, I had my fingers crossed, and despite the screen saying “15 minutes remaining,” the update was finished in about 5 minutes.
    Upon startup, there was a line of dots (….) which lighted up on after the other sort of like a loading bar and it was. After the loading came the usual language selection and Ovi suite options (“Create an Ovi Account” “I have an account” and of course “Later.”) after going through the Ovi suite options (literally took 10 seconds) my carrier had charged me about 0.45cents (USD cents) for the tips I had signed up on while I still had Symbian Anna on the device. Nokia suite was installing support software after the phone booted up and after 5 more minutes, I set the date, time and location and I was presented with the home screen. The standard home screen as on other Belle devices with the Flip clock, Ovi Social widget and 4 icons (Camera, contacts, Angry birds [oh yea!] and Maps) at the last widget’s position; at the bottom edge of the screen are menu, call and home screen options. The widgets take a few seconds to load but once they load they don’t lag. The second home screen has “Favorite contacts” widgets and 4 more icons (Messaging, Store, Calendar and Web), the third home screen has a Music player widget and the 4th home screen is blank for the user to customize. Unlike other Nokia/Symbian Belle devices, the Nokia 500 only has 4 home screens as opposed to 6.
    The lock screen is similar to the Anna screen and is only redesigned. The Belle home screen allows usage of a background unlike Symbian Anna’s.
    Now the menu: unlike Symbian Anna, the menu does not have an applications folder so everything is spread out on the home screen creating a mini mess. Luckily, there is an option to create a new folder in which to put your apps in.
    In Symbian Anna, the keypad for ‘Call’ was not very user friendly as the ‘*’ and ‘#’ where not where they would be on a physical alphanumerical keypad, but on Belle, the keypad is identical to the physical one and very responsive.
    Apps:
    While Symbian Anna lagged on the Nokia 500, Nokia Belle is very smooth. I don’t see any major changes with the camera on the 500 and the quality remains the same. There have been some rumors going around about the Nokia 500 getting HD video with the Belle update but these rumors are not true and the Nokia 500 remains with the usual 640p*313p video. While on Symbian Anna, there was no ‘Gallery’ icon but there is one on Symbian Belle and a separate ‘Videos’ icon is there too for easy access to downloaded videos (yes downloaded videos or those NOT taken with the phone’s camera). The angry birds app is a hugely wanted app for the Nokia 500 and is very identical to the computer version. Actually, it IS the computer version in smaller scale. Symbian Belle still allows the user to kill unwanted applications running in the background by holding down the menu key and clicking the ‘X’ icon. Ovi maps on the device is version 3.06 as predicted and even if not version 3.08, it still gets the job done.
    The settings menu is the same and nothing major there too. On Symbian Anna, the Nokia 500 has many themes for different colors but on Symbian/Nokia Belle, the 500 only has one “Nokia Evolve” theme which means the users have to download their own themes for personalization.
    Overall, the icons seem a bit smaller especially on the home screen and this makes the phone look abit tiny which it is. The size was not brought out in Symbian Anna but in Belle we can see how small the screen on the phone is compared to devices like the E7, N8 and Nokia 701.
    With Symbian Belle, the Nokia 500 is able to really show its 1Ghz processor at work and even if it might not be able to play (fancy) 3D games due to the lack of a OpenGL compatible GPU, it can still allow us to play OpenVG games such as “Asphalt 6: Adrenaline” and “Nuke Defender 3D” available from Ovi store.

    Great to see you are a happy user. I have just bought two Nokia 500 phones (another for my wife), upgraded to Belle, and both have the same infuriating problems:
    - system crashes half a dozen times a day without any warning (during calls, browsing, text messaging)
    - if I change the language for text messages, I cannot type anything (SMS) any more
    - when phone goes to sleep, it often won't wake up and I need to remove the battery (after doing this 4-5 times a day one starts to get very frustrated).
    I am very disappointed and cannot recommend the phone to anyone. First Nokia that I feel this way with.

  • Nokia 500 - GPRS problem after updating to Nokia B...

    Last month after the announcement of update of Nokia Belle to Nokia 500, I have updated the firmware.  And it was successfull and it works fine.
    But while try to browse the internet in mobile using WAP or Mobile data, I could not do so.  There is a problem (Error in opening the page).  Before i.e. while using Anna i regularly browsed and it worked fine.  after updation only this problem arises.  I have checked all the settings and all is looking correct but could not bowsing.
    Pls help me.

    Hi somebodyx87,
    Could you please follow these steps if problem will occur again?
    1. Disconnect your phone from PC if connected.
    2. Open Control Panel and go to ‘Programs and Features’
    3. From the list of available programs, choose ‘Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver’
    4. Click on the ‘Change’ button on top toolbar.
    5. In the setup dialog box that pops up next, choose ‘Repair’ and select ok. Wait for setup to complete.
    6. Restart the computer if prompted.
    7. Now connect your phone to the PC. Driver installation should complete and Nokia Suite (hopefully) should detect your mobile properly now.
    I hope it helps!
    Cheers,

    Solved!

    Having read the FAQ on the Nokia Homepage (I'm assuming this is what you meant...) this is what is mentioned.
    "Nokia Belle is specifically tailored to each phone model, including the Nokia 500. Due to technical specifications, Nokia Belle for Nokia 500 differs to other Nokia Belle phones in the following aspects:
    Nokia 500 with Nokia Belle only supports 4 homescreens.

    Additionally, Nokia 500 will get Angry Birds with the Nokia Belle update"
    Basically, due to technical limitations, you will get
    1) 4 homescreens
    2) There is no NFC or FM transmitter therefore you do not get THOSE widgets.
    You SHOULD get all the other widgets (the only reason you will not get the FM and NFC widgets is because you don't have that hardware. That's how I read it anyway.
    Hope this helps.

  • Nokia 500 Various Issues

    Straight to the point:
    - Cant find updates in PC suite or via the phone. I know the updates were released AGES ago but I cant find them.
    - My phone i believe was made for italians so the manual seemed italian (i gt english online) but when I start the phone, there is this "t" animation, and then the ovi suite has some italian words. how do I revert this to english so that no italian is shown during startup.
    - Anyone know exactly when Nokia Belle for Nokia 500 is coming out?
    Note: I have latest version of Nokia Suite. 3.3.86

  • Nokia 500 and Belle Refresh: browser issues.

    Greetings.
    The Belle Refresh was indeed a welcome refresh for this low-to-midrange phone. However, there is a serious issue with the browser.
    With the update to Qt 4.8, you inherited QtWebKit, an amazing browser I know very well. In a desktop, it's fast, although it eats more memory than Firefox. However, in a cell phone like the 500, with limited amounts of RAM, this browser freezes the phone, due to the lack of memory. I'm also sure this browser can and will break phones with more memory and Belle FPx, since I've made QtWebKit use more than 1 GB of RAM in a computer running KDE.
    There is a way to avoid this, called "user agent". Opera Mobile avoids this scenario by telling pages through user agent "hey, don't be hard on me, I'm browsing this from a cell phone", and pages adjust themselves to that scenario. However, you didn't tweak the user agent in your browser.
    If you add no user agent tweaking, full HTML5 support, Flash Lite support (the much higher specced iPhone 4S doesn't support Flash), and low memory, you get a nightmare scenario.
    1. The webpages send their complete, full featured DESKTOP versions to my Nokia 500.
    2. QtWebKit supports everything, so, it makes a faithful attempt to properly render the page, even with Flash apps.
    3. Nokia 500 has only 70-80 MB of RAM free for apps to use.
    4. Boom.
    Can you release a hotfix for Belle Refresh, changing the user agent of Nokia Browser to something that can trigger the mobile version of web pages? In that scenario, QtWebKit will eat much less memory and everyone will be happy. And please, can you do this for everyone using Belle Refresh?

    I can confirm serious browser issues with the Belle refresh on a C6-01 device. The crash is so severe that only taking out the battery helps. It typically occurs when scrolling larger, feature-rich (and image-rich) webpages, so far I've seen this only on mobile connections (Edge, Umts), but that may be due to lack of testing with WLAN. (Where I've got WLAN I've usually a more powerful device as well..

  • Nokia 500 symbian belle w/ NFC support?

    i wonder if i upgrade to symbian belle on my nokia 500, will it able to add NFC support? TY
    Nokia user since 2004.
    Owned 3310, 1100, 3300, 6600, 6300, 5310, 5130, N79, 5800.
    Owns: 6230 (still alive) and 500....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well the Nokia "Store" seems to think that the Nokia 500 has "NFC SUPPORT"... Please take a look at this link:
     - http://store.ovi.com/content/209048?clickSource=search&pos=8
    It clearly states there the folllowing:
     - "Simply perform the NFC handshake with another Nokia 500, 600 or 700 to unlock content."
    So I don't know if whoever posted it up was trying to mislead people who own the Nokia 500 into buying their application and make them think that the software will "enable" NFC on the device.... Or just a "typo"? 
    It probably was a marketing strategy..... "me thinks"...

    It's known that Nokia Belle FP1 is available only for Nokia 603, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701 (and newer phones as well). Those devices that won't get the FP1 update are named '1st gen. S^3 devices' for all I know. That's what makes me say that Nokia 500 is a first generation S^3 device - because no massive updates will be available for it anymore.

  • Nokia 500 belle updates please?

    if i was not mistaken, symbian anna or should we say symbian ^3 phones should be able to get belle updates on q4 of 2011 but it was postponed and was moved on q1 2012 which is january to be specific, with great courage ang faith to nokia, we users waited for so long, and now nokia vietnam announced an update on feb 8 2012 and all of us were excited then now, there are so many complaints about the update, now nokia 500 will wait for a week? A month? Nokia, will you please be considerate on your customers?

    Hi trarumaya,
    You cannot install fonts yourself, the only way to get additional languages on your phone is to visit your local Nokia Care Point and ask them to do it. Please note that they can usually install only local languages, so it's best to phone them or visit the shop for more information.
    If you only want to browse websites, we would advise you to give Opera Mini a try as it is capable of displaying different language fonts.
    Hope this helps,
