Nokia 500 houses bugs and glitches

Nokua 500 has became house of bugs and glitches. Some are most frustrating and reinstalling software doesn't work in any way. Seriously, auto-restart bug and freezing bug should be cured soon.

Let me add my 1 cent on your 2.
1. It disconnects calls. You are talking to someone for a few minutes - and BAM, disconnected.
2. The reception is disaster. On places I used to get 4-5 bars of 3G, now even simple, good, old GSM sucks. While you hold the phone on your hand, you can see it jump from 2 bars of 3G, then it goes to GSM 6 bars, and then 0 bars GSM, then 2 bars GSM... All in 10-20 second.

Nokia 500 display light and texting problems with ...

After installing Belle I have some VERY annoying problems with my Nokia 500.
While texting it turns the display light up and down.
When I write fx a name and press # to use a big letter, it doesn't automatically go back to small letters after writing the first letter. I have to press # again.
I have never had this problem before Belle, with any phone.
Its really annoying and timeconsuming having to delete what I just wrote coz it has continued to write in big letters.
Also after Belle, when browsing the text with > and < it doesn't highligt a whole word, so i can change it. If for some reason I accidently delete the last letter in a word, I have to delete the whole word and write it again. Never had that problem before either.
Have I done something wrong to get these annoying problems, or do others also have these problems?
Is there a fix for Belle coming up?
And why on earth put out software with so many problems...? I wish I had never "upgraded" to Belle!!
Hope this is not to confusing, and that someone has a fix for this.
B.

i believe there is an option in the Messaging options to actually turn off word prediction, so that it is off by default every time you start up the Messaging app. i also think that instead of navigating it with the > and <, you can actually tap the word on screen and it will highlight that word for you.
as for the display issue, not so sure. have you checked via Nokia Suite that you have the latest firmware installed for your device? if so, then try re-installing your current firmware thru Nokia Suite.
Symbian is in maintenance mode, therefore will no longer see any more major firmware updates, only perhaps the odd bug fix or two.

Go to Solution.

Hi, sparkle86. Just to verify, 'bt it keeps saying nokia software update not available' means that the phone has the latest software update or there's an error when trying to check for one? Have you tried rebooting the phone or restore the phone's default settings without deleting your personal data? Settings > Phone > Phone management > Factory settings > Restore. The default code is 12345.
Keep us posted.

Nokia 500 auto navigation will not work

I have a nokia 500 auto navigation and it will not show maps or it start to boot and freezup and will not work Help!

I had the same problem a couple of months after activating the gps.
I think my problem came up after I had loaded some songs and video onto the SD card.
I used the DVD to restore the maps etc. Be careful with that. The software to run the video/music is not included on the restore DVD.
I had to do the restore multiple times. Finally, I found an update on the Nokia website and did the update. DON'T DO THAT = my bluetooth has now stopped working. Bluetooth says it's on and you can turn it off, however, there's no change. It says on, but no devices can connect to the gps anymore.
Frustrated with Nokia? YES. I have had it sent back, but since I bought it on ebay, forget about that.

kishordada,
Welcome to Nokia Discussions
Some older games designed to run on legacy Symbian revisions (e.g. Symbian S60 1st, 2nd Ed) will not work with Symbian Belle. To ensure full compatibility, download games for your Nokia 500 at the Nokia Store Application. Access store.ovi.com from the default browser.

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 Music / MIX Radio Bugs and BUGS at Care Cent...

I am feeling absilutely dejected to have bought a Lumia 820.
It has been a year and over but still Nokia has not been able to provide solutions to generic and chronic problems. I have been asking for solution to the music problem since a year but no answer but today at last when i visited nokia care centre (Bohra Communications, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad) IT WAS A COMPLETE LET DOWN ! The guy who received me was a total Noob and illitrate and also all engineers (They didnt even know Amber, Black and whether it can be rolled back or not One guy asked another "Boss can we have Amber in 820 after Reset?. They just did not know anything. I am proud that I have more knowledge about updates and firmwares of my handsets.
My chronic problem was MUSIC ( Duplicating/ Dissappearing / Showing errors etc etc)
My music (downloaded from Nokia music only gets lost, shows errors and moves to other storage folder. I had "Lumia Black" updated OTA.
I bought this lumia for the free music subscription for a year and the person at the service centre said it is wrong. Whatever, but he said that the issue was with subscription. He did not understand that errors "c00d36c4" "player error" etc are not because of subscription but are bugs .....
My phone has been reset (hard reset) for more than 5 times in past month and thats what i do all day. NOKIA IS GREAT !! However just an hour back the Bohra communication care centre again did the same. What the HECK is happening ?
FORGET GETTING SOLUTION, PEOPLE DO NOT EVEN LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND.
I am desparately seeking to throw this NOKIA + MICROSOFT junk away and opt for other.
What did I gain buying a MS Nokia product ? No music since over a year and now additionally after reset the backup also is lost. Last time I did I had to update 23 apps and this time its down to only 8 apps !!!!
God Only Save.
To own a Lumia 820.... U need to have highest levels of Courage !

I am constantly getting the problem you talk about in your second para. I don't experience it if I'm playing Nokia's own Offline selections, but it has been happening constantly over the past few weeks if I use the Create A Mix selections that I have downloaded for offline listening.
Recently both the Offline Mixes and Create A Mix selections reduced themselves suddenly to four or five tracks only in each Mix! Like you, I had to delete everything and download all again. Chews up my data allowance.
Nokia's offline mixes don't appear to download using a free WiFi connection - is that normal? I really have to watch my data allowance. Offline mixes will now expire after 10 days it seems.
Altogether Nokia Mix Radio appears to be full of bugs. I hope their software people are reading...

Nokia 500 Problem with Tracking mode and touch sc...

Hi,
I just bought Nokia 500 and I am having lot of problem
1. When I use navigator..it should be in tracking mode not in browing mode so I can see where i am going on where is the turn. But as soon as it calculate the route, withing few second it automatically comes in browsing mode. Even if I press back arrow on left bottom corner it again shows browsing mode. However, sometime it's working fine and always display tracking mode. I am not sure how to switch between the mode. As per manual, I need to hit the back arrow left bottom corner but that does not work for me.
2. The second problem is really bad. The touchscreen response is slow. It looks like the processor is slow. Particularly if I go to Setup menu..it automatically goes to system. I just touch Setup on main menu and sometimes it automatically goes into system. If I manually go to system..it automatically goes to About ..menu. It just behaves randomly..I have done screen calibration many times. but still issue is there. Also, when I got to keyboard to enter address..it automatially press Q key. Not sure what's wrong here
Anybody please suggest me what's wrong. Do I need to replace it with nokia?

Hi
Night mode is designed to work without flash. So either use flash or night mode, but not both.

Nokia 500 Wi-Fi with problems (and other issues)

Hi there.
I had my Nokia 500 yesterday, but it seems to have several problems regarding wireless LAN. I usualy disable 3G traffic (WAP, GPRS, UMTS), so that my service provider doesn't charge me, and only enable with when necessary. But I want the phone to connect to known Wi-Fi networks when avaialable. However:
1 - When I enable "Only WLAN" in my country, several phone applications constantly annoy me about "no avaialable connection", even when its connected to a Wi-Fi LAN!
2 - Its constantly searching for wireless networks, and the Wi-Fi connection is intermitent. It fails and then it comes up all the time. I could not finish the download of a GPS map because the Wi-Fi would fail before the download could finish. And it only had 1 known Wi-Fi network avaialable.
3 - So I set it to use only WLAN, I set "WLAN energy saving" to off, "search networks" to "once in 30 minutes" (and not automatically), and Manual selecion of WLAN. Even like this, the WLAN connection sometimes fails, and then comes back!
Also, I cannot install software directly from OVI Store using WLAN (error downloading), and the phone crashed several times while recognizing and focusing a face using the camara.
I am trully disapointed with the phone. Does anyone have a solution for these problems?
Thanks.

You may want to check your battery and battery contacts. Make sure that a Centro battery has not been installed in this device as it is slightly smaller and will not maintain pressure on the battery contacts.
You can try placing a piece or 2 of paper behind the battery to make to contacts tighter. A loose battery can cause most of the issue you are describing.

Is Nokia 500 and 600available in India?

Is Nokia 500 and 600available in India?

You will need to contact Nokia retailers in India for a specific answer to that. Only they can tell you when they expect to receive stock of those models.
The 500 is available is some other countries so it shouldn't be too long.

Glitches with Nokia 500

The main problem I have with this unit is the way the navigator instructions interact with the MP3 playback.
To start with, there is no option to pause, rather than mute, the MP3 playback during navigator instructions. Which I would prefer in that I am using the MP3 for audio books. And I know it is possible since it does that for phone calls.
But on top of that problem, there seems to be no way to completely TURN OFF the Navigator instructions, muting them does mute the navigator instructions, but it still mutes the MP3 playback in the places where it would normally be giving those instructions.
This seems like a software issue in both cases, I hope to see it addressed in an update.
Another niggle is the multi-step process it takes to re-start the FM transmitter every time I come out from a store or something. I don't need to be reminded by that pop-up that it will shut down and have to hit the OK button every time.
And it would be nice to be able to add names to at least the quick dial numbers for those of us with non-compatible contact lists in their phones..... though I will probably just cave and get a Nokia.

Is this 111.021.0028 is the last update for nokia 500 or any other update will come in futre?

Nokia Belle FP2 -Pros and bugs.

Nokia Belle FP2(Sw.Version 113.010.1506) seems to be another cool release by Nokia with many bug fixes and lot of improvement in ease of usability.
Here are some of the things I would like to share:-
1.New music player with new appearance and correct album list.
2.Search shortcut on the homescreen.
3.Music player pause and play in the dropdown status bar.
4.Improved transition effects.
5.Very good in place pop up options for fast selection of items.
6.Improved video player aspect ratio switching with double tap.
7.Improved speed in file manager.
8.Cool new extra widgets.
9.Nice looking security lock keypad.
10.Nokia 808 style camera interface is a highlight in FP2 with lot of speed improvement in capturing an image!
11.Very good new lock screen with fast access to alerts.
12.Camera can be opened while keypad is locked!
13.New keyboard with native language.
14.Improved volume level design.
15. Improved selection of text for copying and pasting.
16. Apps open much faster especially like the Dictionary app.
Bugs/Drawbacks:-
1.The worst keyboard ever.
A. Lots of eye movement, have see both body of typing and suggestion. No predictions is used, though prediction is present, it is not used for helping the user to write the message fast but to struggle in selecting appropriate words.
First type regardless of tiny mispellings and check whether the word is in the suggestions or not and select appropriate word, instead of the phone selecting appropriate word itself and helping the user to select the word by itself.
user has to see the suggested words and select the word instead of looking at the message body.
please don't make our phones unusable.
B. No right and left arrow keys to move between tiny letters.
These keys appear only when you tap on the body of the message in messaging only, not in an app like opera mini.
Try and try again until you get the cursor beside correct letter!
C. The suggetions on top of the keypad takes extra speace and blocks the typing area apps like opera mini. See attachment.
2. Unusable gallery app.
A. Now there are only two options in gallery. Add tag and delete with mark option. No mark option to select multiple images and send them via mail or bluetooth. You can send one by one by opening an image and then by using options-send.
B. There is no add to favourites folder or any other custom folder to move your important photos or images of your important documents etc.... you need to scroll to the correct image and open it. Now the more images you have more scrolling and time it takes for you to see your image.
C. The new gallery app cannot zoom in high resolution photos or the photos from 808 pureview.
It shows blank black screen when you zoom.
D. Image editor cannot zoom the image like as with old editor. Very limited zooming. like you zoom in gallery.
3. Battery performance seem to be improved now, but not like initial Belle.
4. Camera:
Option to select front camera has been removed. Very bad.
5.Mass storage mode.
Now with FP2, Connecting in Mass storage mode hangs your phone completely, only way is to remove the battery.
Thanks.
In love with Nokia.
