Nokia 500 not updating to belle

I have 2 nokia 500 phones,. I upgraded one with belle but when i try to update the other one, it shows your phone is already up to date, no updates available. Please help me to upgrade my phone

Hi Ramnarayanan,
As Symbian development has wound down, FP2 and Belle Refresh for the other Symbian^3 phones, unfortunately are the last updates available for the Symbian platform. As this is a user to user forum only, you may still wish to leave feedback with Nokia directly by clicking the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page.

Nokia weather not updating

Hi. Why did nokia stop support of nokia weather. If nokia is not updating the os why they are stopping the old apps services. If nokia thinks by doing this people will buy windows phones i bet everyone will go for android phones.

As obsolete phones get older more and more services cease to function, this is normal and only to be expected.
They aren't disabling services just to make you switch because after all you are free to choose any brand you wish. The reason services are withdrawn is often when usage drops below a certain level that it is no longer financially viable to keep the servers running.

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.

Phone did not update to Belle

Ok, firstly I formatted my Nokia N8 using the 'Delete and Restore' option. Then I started the process to update to Belle. It downloaded a file something about 254 MB, installed the file, phone restarted and what's this? My phone was still having Anna! After that I tried restoring my backup and ran the update again but now the suite is not showing Belle update at all and saying my software version 025.007 is up to date.
I tried uninstalling Nokia suite, and downloaded and installed a fresh one. But still no Belle!
What gives?
My product code is 0599255.
My attempt to install Belle was shown successful on PC suite but the phone still has Anna.
Please help!!!

@kaustubjahvle: When you seen that an update is available, can you remember what software version it showed as available? Belle starts with 111.*.
Is the update already available for your productcode based on
http://europe.nokia.com/nokia-belle-update-availability ? (Maybe you've just only downloaded an earlier software update that was available?)

E6 will not update to Belle

I have installed Nokia Suite 3.3.89 and checked for software updates. I have Symbian Anna 025.007 installed and it says there are no updates available. Well I know there are as Belle is available. Any ideas folks?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's only by chance that there was a delay in releasing Belle for E6 with my product code that allowed me the time to see the response of others and decide not to update as a result of that.
If Belle had been available on the first release date for my E6 I probably would have updated, almost certainly to my regret.
That brings us onto another issue discussed in a number of other threads on this forum. Belle, regardless of it's functional failings, is a substantial and radical change from Anna that came before it but despite that there is no "try before you buy" or evaluation option with the upgrade procedure. You have to take a leap into the dark and see what happens and someone has to do it or how else does everyone else find out what the new upgrade is like. Once you have taken that leap, there is no going back. I don't believe like some have suggested that we should rely on YouTube videos of leaked pre-release beta versions.
That's where better communication and information from Nokia would have helped. It's now no good Nokia saying this (Belle or whatever) is an upgrade, just install it because we say it's better because it's now clear that isn't necesarily always the case. Maybe Nokia could have posted some detailed interactive walk throughs and product tours on the same day or even before it released Belle
Along the same lines, the upgrade to Maps 3.08 removed some useful functionality that was present in 3.06, there was no clear notification from Nokia about that. Most of us naturally assume that an upgrade will bring genuine improvements to what we already have, not take away from it. Nokia typically doesn't release change logs. It really should reconsider that policy.

Nokia N95 not updating

My phone has version 13.0.0003 on it, nokia web is telling me i can update to 21.00.00 or some thing like that but the updater software tells me my phone is up to date can any one help.

SIM-locking and branding are two totally different things.
If you get a phone from a network operator it'll be branded and SIM-locked. You can remove the SIM-lock by entering the restriction code that the operator will either give or sell to you depending on their policy, but even though you can use any operator's SIM in the phone afterwards it'll still be branded with the original operator's firmware.
Now, if you bought your phone SIM-free and not through an operator then the chances are that it's unbranded anyway. However, firmware upgrades appear for different regions at different times.
I don't recognize the product code you gave so I don't think it's a European model. This means that you'll probably have to wait for the firmware to be translated into the languages of your region.

Nokia 305 not update

Please update nokia 305

Is there a software update available for your device? If yes, are you having issues updating? If yes, any error message? Are you using the device itself or the Nokia Suite?
(or)
Do you want Nokia to provide an update for the said device? If yes, we're afraid we do not have available information regarding the future software updates of the phone.
Upon checking, the latest update is V 7.42: http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/index.php?title=Firmware_change_logs_for_Nokia_Asha_(Serie...
If you do not have the latest software installed on your phone, it's best to check for it. You can either input *#0000# on the device dialer or go to Settings > Device > Device Updates.

Nokia N95 not updating using the Nokia Software Up...

Hi guys
just got my n95 today, it has v10 fw on it and i would like to update it to v12.
ive downloaded and installed latest pc suite and downloaded the latest nokia update software
i run the updater and it says found new software (v12), please tick the box to acknowledge etc etc
so i click on ok, and it says updating....
then 2 mins later i get this screen:
http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/24429/2000451008485701969_rs.jpg
Which says "phone recovery - please remove battery and restart the phone"
so i got to take battery out and retry, but i get the same error. not too sure what to do now? the fw it downloaded was 113mb.
i have tried it on vista pc/laptop and a xp pro pc and still get the same error.
ive tried using different usb ports, connected the usb directly to pc (without any hubs etc) and still get the same error.
it looks like this n95 doesn't want to be updated. The n95 still works though, i just want to update its software
anyone had any thing similar? is there anything else i could try?
any help is much appreciated
thanksMessage Edited by bigup on 27-Jul-200710:15 AM

Handsets that allow for updating, have a small piece of software within them often called the boot loader, that allows the new upgraded software to be flashed into the device.
If the Boot Loader is damaged, then the upgrade of the device software from the Nokia Software updater cannot be performed.
A Nokia care point is able to rectify this because they can use the service connector on the handset to reflash the software with their equipment.
This will be done for free if your handset is in warranty.

I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software
If this post helped... Add some kudos!!

Nokia 500 GPS questions/troubles with: Contacts, F...

So... I have owned my 500 now since Christmas (I received the 500 as a gift from my father-in-law). Overall, for my first GPS device, I really enjoy all the features... But, I'm having quite a few troubles and hoped that some expert users or Nokia Support folks might be able to help.
1) It took me forever, but I found a program to sync my Treo 700wx from Verizon to the Nokia 500. When I first tried syncing my phone it was recognized just fine but then only downloaded my 5 favorite (or quick dial) contacts from the Windows Mobile homepage. Then I did some looking on the internet and found a program from a company called JETware Mobile Software at www.jetwaremobile.com. The first time I used this software (the trial version only) I suceeded in syncing 623 contacts to the Nokia 500. Here are the issues though... The addresses did not sync (what a huge inconvenience considering this was 90% of the reason I wanted to sync the contacts). The phone numbers for each contact (if there were multiple phone numbers for the same person) sync as seperate contacts on the Nokia 500 (not a huge deal).
Question# 1) Isn't there a way to use some sort of a program on the PC to syncronize contacts from let's say Outlook or VCF files or a CSV file to the Nokia 500 manually?
2) I copied all the data from the supplied 2gb SD card and loaded it onto a new AData 16gb SD card & re-inserted the card to make sure everything worked ok on the device - No problem. I uploaded 8 gb of MP3 & 4 gb of Movies (in MP4 format - great program to use is www.pqdvd.com - buy the iPod version or PSP version so you can use it for both) and 1 gb of pictures.
Here are my comments:
MP3's - The player is a bit cheezy, but I was finally able to figure out how to play at random all the MP3s or play individual folders of songs at a time. Too bad you can't create or import a playlist!
FM Transmitter - Totally worthless in Sacramento, CA where there isn't a whole lot of open FM channels on the radio dial. Unfortunately my Jetta doesn't have an audio input plug otherwise this might work a lot better!
Note: the only place I can find to turn the FM transmitter on is in the MP3 playing mode (very strange & annoying)
Movies - I read a lot here to find out why the playback was so choppy & pretty low quality... Bottom line - You have to record the MP4s at about 15fps and create a MP4 file for about a one & a half hour movie that is about 600mb or so. This seemed to work pretty good.
Question #2) Is there a recommendation from Nokia experts on how to help the FM transmitter function worth a darn?
3) I've searched for many addresses on the GPS and echo other's complaints about very strange missing information & strange city lines in Nokia's software. It's very odd to me that I have to go thru about 10 clicks to "Take me home" and that everytime the device navigates me home it takes me a very off-the-beaten-path way home.
Question #3) Is there a way to save the route you actually drove between two destinations and store that as a trip on the Nokia 500 - vs. storing just the end destination & the Nokia solution to get from point A to B.
4) Battery life - If I had to guess the average battery life I've seen using this device is about 1 hour from power up to "I really need charging". Is this normal for GPS devices? I'm guessing it must be and most people just keep these plugged in at all times to their cigarette adapters.
5) Traffic - From my testing in Sacramento, CA there is no traffic service or alerts.
Question #4) Is there a service I need to purchase & how would one go about turning on traffic services for the Nokia 500?
6) User-interface - I'm brand new to this whole GPS world but as you can tell from this review I'm pretty tech-savvy... I'm a bit surprised at home much savvy it really takes to operate this device and I would think the average not-so-savvy user would be very put off by this.
Overall if I were to rate this device out of 10 I'd have to say it's a strong 6/10 and possibly a 7/10.
I really appreciate any expert feedback on my above 4 questions & 6 topics if at all possible.
Thank you!
~Jeff

Jeff, here's my input on your points and questions. Thanks for writing your post...
Question 1) It only supports syncing over bluetooth with phones that meet its bluetooth specs (see the user manual on the DVD for more details or the product website)
Point 2)
While you can't create or import a playlist on the Nokia, you can use your media player on your computer (e.g. Windows Media Player), while the SD card is inserted in your card reader on your computer, to create a playlist. Then copy the playlist file over the existing playlist file found in the root of your SD card.
Question 2) Not sure how to answer this one. The transmitter is built into the Nokia. So you just need to program it to use an available frequency (understanding that it is hard to find in your area). It doesn't unfortunately have the ability to scan for available frequencies (that would be cool).
Point 3) After you've selected to take you home, press the menu button and the Alt Route button where you can (according to the manual) configure the Nokia to block a route from being used.
Question 3) You would have to create a trip that includes enough waypoints (which you can create by creating bookmarks as you drive along) and then use that. Not to be sarcastic, but I find it funny how obsessed we all get about a GPS choosing the best route when if you already know of a better route then why do you even need the GPS' guidance? I'm guilty of this too so I'm also laughing at myself.
Point 4) I'm guessing that if your using the bluetooth integration, the FM transmitter, the TMC receiver, streaming video, using navigation, and keeping the brightness at the max setting, the estimated 2hr battery life isn't going to happen. The manual actually recommends using the cigarette lighter because it is your TMC receiver.
Point 5) My city (Vancouver, Canada) does offer TMC and my Nokia says its tuned in (I know because I've also seen the message where it says it is Tuning) yet I've not seen one traffic advisory yet. My Nokia's manual included an addendum from Nokia saying that TMC service is not available in the US and Canada. We all know this isn't true but maybe this is Nokia's way of saying their version of a TMC receiver doesn't work in North America.
Question 4) Good question. I think the answer is no because this TMC receiver is meant to work with a free TMC service. I'm thinking that maybe the only TMC services in US and Canada are pay-services that require you to enter a subscription unlock code in your GPS - the Nokia doesn't appear to provide such a function. *** This is my theory, I haven't confirmed this with any TMC provider ***
Point 6) I agree the user interface is not meant for non-tech-literates. It took me awhile to figure it out. Especially the meaning of icons and when to use them. This is NOT the Tivo of GPS
Overall I'm satisfied with my GPS even though I suspect there will never be map, POI, or software updates. I plan to figure out a way to mount it to my motorbike and ride all the way down to Mexico City (if I can figure out how to unlock the license for the Mexico map!)

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
