Cannot upgrade my Nokia 500 to Belle

Hi There,
I'm trying to update my Nokia 500 to Belle but I get an authentication error.
I'm usign Nokia Suite v 3.7.22 in Windows 7 x64.
Please any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Can you remember what error message was in more detail? Was it "cannot authenticate the phone" or something different? Have had no issues using Windows 7 & 8 Pro 64 bit to update devices using this application.

Upgrade hell nokia n8 to belle

Hi
just about had enough of Nokia, My Wifes n8 was working perfectly no problems but I made the mistake of upgrading via the suite to belle.
Now texts are not automaticaly sent the y are marked as waiting and left in the out box. She manualy has to go into the out box and send them.
Every time she turns the phone on it asks for a security code which we do not know, ok putting in 12345 gets it working but it is beyond a joke.
Try a factory restore wonderful except the upgrade has lost /changed the security code, five trys and I'm out
Thought I'd go back to the original software but no!! not possible phone needs to go to a Nokia Support centre.
One phone call, a heart attack and breathing fire later... Yes they can do that for around £90
So I have to pay to fix Nokia s problem.
Am I the only person to find this laughable??? Ok the phone is not on contract and is probably out of warranty but it is Nokia software that broke the phone?
Apart from a hammer does anyone have any ideas?
thanks
Ian

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.

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"...

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?

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.

Please Let me Know how can i reinstall Symbian Anna again in Nokia500.

It's not possible to reinstall Anna yourself. A Nokia Care Centre may be able to install Anna, although it's not a recommended procedure.
Give your nearest one a call and see what they say:

Hi luffy007,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the Nokia forum.
We are really sorry for this inconvenience.
In order to fix this issue, I would advise you to update again your phone via Nokia suite.
If the problem persists, I would suggest you to perform a hard reset. First of all, back up your data using Nokia Suite (Tools > Back up). Once your data is fully backed up, type *#7370# on the keypad. Default lock code is 12345.
The hard reset will dellete all your personal information, that's why a back up is very important.
If none of these solutions solves your issue. I would invite you to visit your local Nokia care point to get the phone checked. If it needs repair, it could be done there.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.
Regards,
Pfrancoise

Hi MikeWare,
If you have tried to charge the battery to full and it is still not turning on, I suggest you to visit your local Nokia Care point. Also, if you have used any third party software to flash your device, you may have harmed and void the warranty of it.
Let us know how you get on.

When you said restoring, are you referring to a reset? Did you restore the factory settings of the phone?
faridcool wrote:
...not connected the internet in computer
plz reply me soon
Are you using the phone as a modem so you can access the internet through computer with the connection coming from the phone?
Are you able to browse the web using the phone's browser?
Any error message?
First, you have to make sure that the packet data connection on the phone is up and running. You can contact your Service Provider so they can you send you the Internet Settings and configure it on your phone automatically. If you managed to browse the web using the phone's browser, below steps are what you need to check and do if you want to use the phone as a modem.
To create an internet connection, do the following:
Install Nokia Suite in your PC or laptop.
Check that you have a SIM card inserted in your phone and that the phone is not in offline mode.
Connect your phone via USB cable or Bluetooth connection to your PC or laptop (USB connection preferred because it provides a faster and more reliable connection). When connecting via USB, check that the phone is using Nokia Ovi Suite mode (check the default mode in Menu > Settings > Connectivity > USB).
Accept any installation requests which you may receive in your phone.
In Nokia Suite, select Tools > Connect to internet.
The internet connection is now established via your phone. To disconnect, select Tools > Disconnect in Nokia Suite.
If the connection doesn't succeed, check the connection settings in Nokia Suite menu Tools > Options > Connect to internet. Select your network operator from the list or, if not found, use the manual settings and define the access point name to be used in your operator network. You can also define the user name and password if these are required by your operator.

Nokia 500 fate automatically restart when insertin...

I updated my nokia 500 to Belle ,after updgrade phone restart when inserting sim and not detecting sim.
Without sim phone working fine.
please provide any solution for this issue..........

Have you tried a different SIM ? Borrow from friends / family members to see if the same happens with other SIMs too.. If not, get your SIM replaced thru' your Operator.. If it happens with all SIMs you may first try re-installing the Firmware. Else, you need to visit Nokia Care .
Also, check if it makes any difference without the Memory Card being inserted ..

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.

A problem with Wi-fi after upgrade to Nokia Belle ...

Good Afternoon
I have a problem with my Nokia 500 (Belle) (Symbian).
I was using a old system and I had my wi-if acess working but after I upgrade my system to Belli my wi-fi doesn´t work. I tried writing the same password but my connection s (Connecting. connectins and fall).
May you help me ?
Is there any configuration if I have to do ?
Thanks a Lot

Hi
Thank you for you post and welcome to the forums.
Firstly try removing the WiFi access point off you device and then reboot the device and reset the router then try re-add the WiFi access point on your phone and see if it connects. If it still doesn't work temporarily removing the password on router then try to connecting to see if this helps.

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,
Puigchild
