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:

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.

@jrguzman
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.

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

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"...

It's known that Nokia Belle FP1 is available only for Nokia 603, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701 (and newer phones as well). Those devices that won't get the FP1 update are named '1st gen. S^3 devices' for all I know. That's what makes me say that Nokia 500 is a first generation S^3 device - because no massive updates will be available for it anymore.

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.

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 500 Touch problem

I had just brought Nokia 500 and after 2 or 3 days i updated it to Symbia Belle my touch has become crazy.
Many times it happenes that when I am using the phone different application like contact, web etc starts opening automitacally and when I try to to cancel it, the touch doesn't work for me.
please help me out of this problem. I think this is because of Symbian BELLE.

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.

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.

Belle on nokia 500

i am planning to buy Nokia 500.
As i saw that device comes with Anna OS in it.
Is it upgradable to Belle OS ?

YES...It is

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 Suggestions...

I habve purchased Nokia 500 recently but i found certain things which can be easily upgraded...Below is the list:
1) Folder playlist is missing. If i have to make a new playlist then it would be easy for me to select the folder then to select individual songs from the list of 2000 songs.
2) Screensaver remains hardly for 1-2 seconds. It should remain atleast for a minute or more...
3) Icon size on the Homescreen & fonts size are very very small. They should kindly increase it.
4) Key tones & touch screen tones are very low in volume (after setting it on high option also). They should increase it also.
5) Widget size of Music Player too Big on Homescreeen. Plz decrease it so that we can adjust other widgets also.
I hope they will consider these points & incorporate in the coming update....
Regards,
Vinit **bleep**

add a 'home' icon on the drag down menu, for multitasking without the physical button.

Nokia 500 - GPRS problem after updating to Nokia B...

Last month after the announcement of update of Nokia Belle to Nokia 500, I have updated the firmware. And it was successfull and it works fine.
But while try to browse the internet in mobile using WAP or Mobile data, I could not do so. There is a problem (Error in opening the page). Before i.e. while using Anna i regularly browsed and it worked fine. after updation only this problem arises. I have checked all the settings and all is looking correct but could not bowsing.
Pls help me.

Hi somebodyx87,
Could you please follow these steps if problem will occur again?
1. Disconnect your phone from PC if connected.
2. Open Control Panel and go to ‘Programs and Features’
3. From the list of available programs, choose ‘Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver’
4. Click on the ‘Change’ button on top toolbar.
5. In the setup dialog box that pops up next, choose ‘Repair’ and select ok. Wait for setup to complete.
6. Restart the computer if prompted.
7. Now connect your phone to the PC. Driver installation should complete and Nokia Suite (hopefully) should detect your mobile properly now.
I hope it helps!
Cheers,
Marina
