Charging a New 6500 Slide

Handbook suggest around 90 ,but I'm hearing 16 hours to charge a drained (brand new) battery? Is there a problem with the 6500 slide? After an hour of charging I removed the lead and the phone is dead! New phone arrived this morning. Something seems amiss!
Any ideas

A new battery requires a 3 full charge & discharge cycles before it attain it's full power. It takes 2hrs more or less depends on charger & phone model. If you put it on charge for an hour & removing it make the phone dead, its either the battery or the phone power circuitry is defective.

  • 6500 slide keeps switching itself off

    Just got my shiny new 6500 slide which keeps switching itself off. The only way of switching it back on when this happens it to take the battery out, put it back in and then press the power button. It happens about once or twice a day and it seems to be when the phone is charging.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way of resetting the phone to prevent this happening?
    I'd really like to fix it without the hassle of going back to the shop and trying to demonstrate a very unpredictable fault.

    I would definately take your phone back and get it replaced. I had problems with my 6500 slide, every time i turned it on & off i would have to resest the time & date. I purchased my phone from an internet retailer and they exchanged it for a new one, so far i have had no problems...

    Hello,
    I've recently got a new 6500 slide, it's an O2 model but I'm using it on Virgin (or T-Mobile as the phone tells me!)
    Anyway, it was fine for a couple of weeks and I'm very happy with it generally, until yesterday when mid call the other person could no longer hear me, and now the same on every call I make or receive. It seems as though the microphone has just simply given up, I've tried taking the sim and battery out for a few minutes - just on the off chance really but as I thought that didn't work!
    Also, and this isn't so much of a problem, just strange - whenever I take the cover off the back I lose my wallpaper!
    Anyone got any ideas.....??

  • 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 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.

  • 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 - Max MicroSD Size???

    I'm receiving a new 6500 Slide in the next few days, and I'm wondering what memory card to buy.
    I know its a MicroSD card, but I've read many contradicting statements on what type (normal or SDHC) it can be used.
    I plan to get a 4gb MicroSDHC, but I can't find any support for SDHC anywhere on the 6500 Slide tech specs (but it says support for 4gb), and some reviews I've read say it doesn't support SDHC, but some do.
    Can anyone tell me if I can buy a MicroSDHC card and use it without problems?
    Message Edited by davito92 on 21-May-2008 12:20 PM

    OK, What I said last is somewhat true!
    The phone cannot tell you the size/used/free but it will read over 4gb. i have 6GB of music on my 8gb and it can read it all as far as i can tell, i went through the entire card (170 folders of music) and calculated the total (6000mb+) on my pc. although this slows media player down ALOT

  • Security Code 6500 slide

    I don't remember chnaging the security code on my new 6500 slide, i want to clear my message log and it asks for security code, i put in the defaulf 12345 and it gives me "code error". can anybody help? thks

    Don't try this too often. If you enter an incorrect security code 10(?) times, it locks the phone leaving a re-flash of the firmware at a care point to be the only solution.
    In fact, if you don't remember the security code then that will be your only solution anyway.
    If you do take it to an NCP, remember to provide proof of purchase demonstrating that you are the owner of the phone.

  • 6500 Slide new firmware 9.60

    It seems there's new software out today, version 9.60 for the 6500 slide.
    I'm currently on v8.30. Has anyone updated and can tell me of any new features, bugs, etc?
    My last post on this got deleted for some reason - mods, do not delete without telling me why!
    Thanks,
    Jon.

    I upgraded - make sure you do back up as it wipes everything & restores to basics (even pre loaded files, themes were back)
    Have not found any benefits, but a retrograde step is (as older phones) you are now limited again to 50 members in a group! I only worked this out because PC suite did not restore all contacts - when I tried adding again got an error message
    Raise with Nokia but, as usual, got standard response - showing they had not actually read my question

  • Where is Micro SD Memory Card? Nokia 6500 slide

    Hi guys,
    I need some help please.
    I bought Nokia 6500 slide today and on the box says that it contains:
    Nokia 6500 slide
    Nokia Battery BP-5M
    Nokia Charger AC-4
    Nokia Wired Stereo Headset HS-47
    Nokia 256 MB Micro SD Memory Card MU-27
    Nokia Mirco USB Cable CA-101
    Nokia TV-Out Cable CA-92U
    CD ROM
    User guide
    Everything is there except Micro SD Card. Is it somewhere inserted in the phone or it should be in the box? I am confused. I am worried because I don't think they sold me brand new item as I think box was open before they brought it to me.

    Hi,
    Remove the back cover and you will notice next to the camera lens a silver plate. The memory card should be in there. By holding the phone so that the camera lens is at the top and the battery is facing downwards, you can put ur fingernail carefully at the top of the silver plate where there is an indentation and slide the cover down without removing the battery. You can then remove the memory card once you manage to get the silver plate to pop upright..
    Hope this helps.
    To insert ur sim card, you need to remover the battery. The sim card compartment is just below the memory card slot. When you need to get the sim card out, use the little metal slider beside the memory card slot to push the sim card out of the slot.
    Mojo!

    How does the 6500 slide hard reset?
    That's simple.
    All you have to do is:
    From MENU goto SETTINGS, When there scroll down and select 'Restore Factory Setting'.
    There are two options in there:
    "Restore Settings only"
    and
    "Restore all"
    Select "Restore All"
    When done the phone will delete every thing on the Phone memory(C:\)(contacts,picture,messages etc)
    and also restore phone to its original settings and will restart.
    This proceedure is mostly common on S40 phone.
    Hope this explain and solve the problem.

    Hi, I've noticed that the new firmware version 10.00
    for the Nokia 6500s1 (6500 Slide) RM-240 is out.
    Does anyone have an idea what is new in this version
    and they've fixed in this version?

    It's still not listed at the site, butt it's out there.

  • 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.
