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"...

Nokia 500 Symbian Belle?

Why has postponed the launch of Symbian Belle nokia 500? So large are the problems that we are still delay?

Go to Solution.

Nokia Belle is specifically tailored to each phone model, including the Nokia 500. Due to technical specifications, Nokia Belle for Nokia 500 differs to other Nokia Belle phones in the following aspects:
Nokia 500 with Nokia Belle only supports 4 homescreens.
Nokia 500 does not support NFC.
FM transmitter and widget are not supported in Nokia 500.
Nokia 500 includes Nokia Maps 3.06 instead of 3.08.
Additionally, Nokia 500 will get Angry Birds with the Nokia Belle update. This update is expected to launch on Feb 15th.

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..

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 701 Symbian Belle Widget problem

when i see previews of themes on nokia store, there are some widgets that i don't have on my Nokia 701 (latest software update)...for example the (3G On/Off) widget and some others too, is there any place where i can get these widgets ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

These widgets are in the latest symbian Belle firmware that comes to S^3 devices like N8, C7 ... in february.
I think newer devices like your 701 will also get a software update of Belle.

Nokia N8 Symbian Belle - Mobile Data Auto Connecti...

I have recently updated my n8 to symbian belle and I am having trouble in disabling the mobile data. For some reason the 3G connection icon keeps on beeping in the menu bar. It keeps on trying to connect to packet data even though i have disabled the mobile data from the menu bar. I also disable it from the connection and admin settings but its still trying to connect to the 3G network all the time. It is big issue for me because the battery is only lasting about 12hours where as before it lasted almost 2 days. Also I do not have any access points for the 3G network, I only got a wifi access point on it.

i had one program which kept running on the background, i removed it now but it still trying to connect somehow. I went through all my applications also. There wasnt any given net settings. Could it be because my mobile was locked to a 3 network before and the OS version is based on the 3 network? It comes with useless apps which are net based but do not work for me because you need to have a 3 network and they cant be removed.

I purchased Nokia500 with Symbian Anna some days ago. Then I update my phone's software with Belle. Now I can't use Skype, Fring, Voip and SIP calls and many problems.
Please Let me Know how can i reinstall Symbian Anna again in Nokia500.
Please help me and solve my problem.

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.

Nokia N8 Symbian Belle - A downgrade of sophistica...

Dear Sirs,
I am writing to you in regards of the latest Belle update for Nokia N8.
I am deeply disappointed with some of the features and i would like to bring those to your attention. Dont get me wrong, as an update, Belle its nice and looks very beautiful on the phone, however, some things must be pointed out.
1. The notifications widget. WHY was this removed completely and made the phone less sophisticated?? (and please dont reply back to me as i saw in other posts, stating that it has been replaced with the drop down. Pls read further before replying and bare in mind that i already know with what it has been replaced!) I mean listen.... i own an N8 (550 Euro mobile phone!) and my wife owns a nokia X3 (60 Euro phone!)... with the current update of Belle, on the N8 when i receive a message i get the cheap looking like, old style notification on "1 new message received" (without stating from who i received the message before i open the message)... with the notification widget we had on Anna however everything was more sophisticated, it actually made the phone look More sophisticated as well, as it stated on the widget from who (e.g. John) you received a message or a missed call... on the X3 of my wife, is States that, it states from who you you received the message...I liked that and made the phone look different from many other phone and as i have observed from a lot of posts, Many people liked the notifications widget and believed the same as well... therefore we reached a point where cheaper phones now look more sophisticated than smartphones?? i know that when you make new software you wanna change and update everything for certain marketing reasons, however in my humble opinion that does not mean that you should also go ahead and downgrade the sophistication of the phone just for the sake of changing extremely nice stuff in the name of updating... there are certain things that you should be left as they were if not need update...
2. The fact that the widgets have been made all coulurful and "comic" like is a good thing on one hand but bad on the other. (e.g calendar, mail) On what basis was this done? I mean i am a lawyer, and i used those widgets and were very inportant to me on a daily basis, and i used them daily. On Symbian Anna, they were all very nice looking (glassy and black) and more professional. The fact that i updated the phone now and the widgets are so childishly designed and driven (colourful comic like calendar and email widget etc), makes one very uncomfortable in their use. (i mean think for instance a situation of me sitting next to a client and checking up my incoming mail on the widget that looks like poor unprofessional, childish email like hotmail, yahoo mail etc) I mean dont get me wrong, you should have included the new ones, but you should have also included the old glassy looking like widgets of symbian Anna (since i am certain you have them somewhere saved ni your databases) in the update and let the user decide which ones to use... you dont just simply proceed and make so many radical changes when you know that these kind of phones are also (and probably by majority) used by professionals.
Further, the old clock digital widget with the profile all in one was very nice and better looking like for some of us and shouldnt have been removed.......
3. About the screensaver screen. My comments here are interelated with my above comments regarding the notifications widget. Firtsly, i dislike the fact that on the screensaver screen, i only get the message and missed call signs when i get one, but there is no number next to them stating now how many messages or missed calls i have received like it used to be on Symbian Anna (its one thing to have 10 missed calls and its another to have solely one. i mean think of this scenario: when i am in an important meeting, i only take the phone out of my pocket to see HOW MANY missed calls i have. i dont sit with clients there and check who called isnt it? so if i saw i had 10 missed calls in one hour then i would know its an emergency and interrupt - maybe my child had an accident or something)
Further, the clock on the screensaver shouldnt be made with this dotty white colour, that looks like or seems as if the phone is about to die completely - makes the phone look cheap and unsophisticated as well. The colour of the clock should be solid crystal white as it used to be on Symbian Anna...
Thanks

I too am having the same issue with only hotmail. Looking at Microsoft forums, Nokia users aren't the only ones. MS have done some sort of 'upgrade' to their exchange servers which is causing the issue. They are sorting it out but goodness knows how long this is going to take. My emails sometimes come in but then on the next sync they disappear. The gripe that alot of people have is that phone manufacturers apparently hadn't been told of this 'upgrade' and for me, my additional gripe is that I have been a Nokia user since 1996 and over the last 1.5 I am getting increasingly frustrated with Nokia anyway and waiting for them to sort out some ongoing issues I have had since September last year, now this as there is this ' I don’t use active exchange as I don’t want to sync my contacts or calendar this way and prefer to use other ways/apps to sync this info. As there is and apparent ‘partnership' between Nokia & Microsoft, how come none of us users had a clue it was going to happen and what steps we should take for a smooth transition.

Nokia N8 Symbian Belle HTML EMAIL stopped working

About a month ago my Hotmail e-mail stopped working properly, to fix it I deleted the mail box and reset it up however as a result of the delete and reset I now have lost HTML formatted e-mail.
I am on the latest Nokia N8 Belle release for Orange.
The e-mail is setup through Exchange ActiveSync so that I have access to e-mail folders as the hotmail wizard setup version doesn't list my e-mail folders in the mail client.
I have tried a hard reset of my phone, a reload of the operating system and everything else I can think of.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve?
Thanks

System error on nokia c7 symbian belle

Hi, I'm having problem on my nokia c7, sometimes it hangs and when i restart it shows a message ''system error'', i don't knows why is this happening i restored my phone but still its showing error report although in phone message it shows the number instead of person name which is already saved in contacts. Please help.........

Hi tarbiya,
Please perform a hard reset by entering *#7370# and default security code 12345.
Don't forget to make a back up first with Nokia Suite. Go to Tools > Back up, but don't make a back up of your settings.
You can restore the back up onto your phone after the reset by going to Tools > Restore.
Also update the phone's software to make sure it works to it's full potential, you can do this by clicking on the green arrow in Nokia Suite.
Let me know if you manage to resolve the issue, otherwise I can provide further support.

Moderator's note: We have removed mention of illegal flashing software which is not allowed to be discussed on the Nokia discussion boards.

Hi MikeWare,
If you have tried to charge the battery to full and it is still not turning on, I suggest you to visit your local Nokia Care point. Also, if you have used any third party software to flash your device, you may have harmed and void the warranty of it.
Let us know how you get on.
