Nokia 500 Messaging

I have a Nokia 500 which is onlya a year old and sad to say the warranty just ended a couple of months ago. H had no past issues with the phone but now everytime I receive a text . In the preview you can see the message but once you cselect the message it just shows [1:Time] as the whole message and in Nokia Suite it shows the complete message.
Can anyone help me? Is this a software or hardware issue?

Do you have many sms in your phone? Id suggest clearing up some if you do.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

Message reader for nokia 500

In my old Nokia E51 I had the message reader that read aloud email messages. Now the new Nokia 500 has a message reader that read aloud only SMS messages.
Do anyone use a new nokia smartphone to read aloud email messages ? Is there any hope to have the message reader in the Belle update that is already available for some Nokia 500 ?
In few words the message reader of the Belle is the same as the one in my Anna ?

Nokia 500 wi-fi problem

Hi all. My Nokia 500 can't find any wi-fi connection after Belle upgrade. It won't pass the "searching wi-fi network" message. Really don't know what to do since it should be a simple task. Any ideas?

Hi weblira
Welcome to Nokia forum!
Try doing a factory reset on your phone. Go to Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone management > Factory settings > Restore, if it will ask for a lock code use 12345 unless changed.
After the factory reset try to connect to WLAN again. If that will not help you to resolve the issue use Nokia Suite to re-install the software of your phone.

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.

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.

Go to Solution.

Go back to the support page for this device. It will give you all the info needed for updating. It has a link for downloading software to your PC. Once this is done, the software is used to check your gps and see what version of firmware is loaded, and will compare it to the latest version. It will then allow you to download and install the latest on your gps.

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.

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.

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.

I fully agree with your assessment. And I don't like to be treated like a monkey.
Nokia is showing such a low respect and care to their customers, especially in the Middle East. They became maybe too big to care for their customers. Apparently they have forgotten that what made them so big is precisely those customers they are ignoring today. It is a pity.
I am looking for a solution for the same problem since 9 month ow: updating middle east maps on my Nokia 500 Auto Navigation. thout any positive result.
What is making this case looking even worst is the promises I got from my Nokia reseller that maps WILL be updated on a regula basis!!! But till today, total blackout from our friends at Nokia.
And the funny thing : while typing this note, a popup appeared on my screen about Customer Feedback on the qualiity of Nokia support. They are really incredible those guys.

Hi Dorkas777,

For the Nokia Software Updater, is there any error message before the application crashes? Does this happen all the time? Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the application?

Updated belle on my new Nokia 500 successfully in ...

I got new Nokia 500.
Yesterday I upgraded OS to belle in a single attempt.
Downloading nokia suite executable on my pc, installating it on my pc, start using it by connecting phone to my pc, just proceed upgrade step by step. It is damn simple. I made three visits to Nokia care and could not get it done by them. Now I feel, it was not needed. Upgradating from Anna to belle is very simpe. Now enjoying with my cute BELLE.
Though my entire exercise went smooth, I got a confusion only once with a contradictory warning message while installation. I ignored this message. Inspite of that, my belle is working fine. Please see attached image file for that confusing message.

congrats from me...........you're really one of the lucky people who are having no problems and complaints for belle.Enjoy!

Nokia 500 Auto Navigator -- Navigation License

I've now searched, everywhere, and send various calls and e-mails to Nokia with NO response, hope somebody can help:
This device is NOT a phone, it is the Nokia 500 Auto Navigator GPS. Please see on the Nokia web site link http://europe.nokia.com/A4577607 .
The devise shows the map, current location, and tracks the route traveled, but does not navigate. As soon as I try to select a route, I shows an error on the GPS screen " NO VALID LICENSE FOUND FOR THIS ROUTE". On the device it shows certain profiles and the one I believe to be the Navigation License called NAVI RSA and NAVY EUROPE are locked. I need to know how to either unlock this, or if I need to purchase a navigation license, how do I do this on this GPS devise manufactured and supplied by NOKIA. Again this device is NOT a phone, so I do not have the options of the menus to purchase extra licenses.
Please assist ASAP, and please do not again refer me back to distibutor Autopage where I purchased the devise, as they can not supply me with any information, and told me several times to contact NOKIA, as they should provide this support.
Hope to hear from someone soon.
Solved!

Why won't you try to online purchase the rest of the navigation you need? I mean, it's possible for the general phone navigation, why it won't for navigations too??

Nokia 500 homescreen shows some blue digits

After some update in belle 111.021.0028 my nokia 500 started showing some blue digits. I am not sure what they represent (screen FPS or CPU load), but surely they are annoying. I once restored the old belle version and then it was gone, but due to some reason, I have to undo that action and the digits are appearing again. I am checking for updates regularly, but it seems that no update have been released after that. Kindly suggest me some way out. Thanks in advance.

These are de-bugging messages in the top right of the screen in contrast inverted text.
More reference to this although N8 here: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/N8-displays-changing-blue-numbers-in...
You could backup device via Nokia Suite and reset by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user).
