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 - three main problems (deactivate Ovi, T...

Hello Community, there are three main problems with my new nokia 500 mobile (beside my really not good english for what I apologize at first!):
1. How can I deactivate this annoying prompt to ovi store at the startup? I do not do not do not want to go online!! This did already cost me some money because the „later“ button is too small too, so I pressed the wrong button or the link below the "later"-button. And so my mobile connected to internet faster than I could press the abort-key. What a nuisance!
2. I have no idea about the sorting criteria for the to-dos! To give an example:
9.3(.2012) A…
27.11(.2011) N…
28.11(.2011) K…
6.3(.2012) L..
As you can see – the to-dos are NOT sorted by name and NOT sorted by date. So, by what are they sorted? I can’t find it out! And is there possibility to sort them by name or by date?
3. As to the calendar: When I miss the alarm of a meeting/a to-do etc., there comes a list of all the missed alarms, but there the option „silence“ is no longer available. So I have to change date or time of a to-do/meeting etc. to get a new alarm. This ist annoying too!
Well, these are the main problems with my new mobile phone, I hope you find some answers for me! Thank you!

Even on my E5 have the problem of signal loss by touching with the hand on the back. Brought into service twice. I ask Nokia, like the E71, a software update to correct the problem.

Nokia 500 video calling problem

Hello Nokia..
I had just bought Nokia 500 mobile. As shown in advertisement & specificatio shown on website, there is 3g supported phone. But lake is there is no video call feature. I spent around 10K for this phone but no video call feature. I know it has no front camera but I have 6233 3g phone. It has main camera only yet it support video calling and I already doing this. Then why this option is not available with this phone.
I feel like cheated by nokia.
Can Nokia reply my thread with genuine reason and care like genuine customer.?

The fact is you should have asked the question if the 500 was capable of video calling before you bought the phone. There is absolutely nothing anyone can help you with here and reading the specifications page makes no mention of video calling so that should have given you an idea that it's not supported.
As I said in my previous post, this is a user to user forum so if you want a Nokia representative to answer your questions you can use the Contact support button at the top of the page.

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.

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

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.
Cheers

Problem installing DivX codec on Nokia 500

I have a nokia 500. I'm trying to install DivX codec to play HD Video files. But when I install DivX player, I can't go to main menu. The main menu turns down.
Have anyone tried installing DivX codec or any other codec on nokia 500 to play HD Videos? Please help me. Please tell me which codec or player is fully supported by Nokia 500. I've searched a lot about players and codecs on nokia 500. But nothing found.
I need to play High Quality AVI, MP4, MPG and FLV files. Please suggest me any player that supported by nokia 500.
By the way, I'm using the latest Belle Refresh(111.021.0028) on my nokia 500.
Thanks in advance.

There is no graphics chip upon 500 which is responsible for such problems.

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.

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.

Hi...

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.

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.

WLAN Nokia 500 Connictivity problem Netgear WGR614

Hi all
I have installed the Router "Netgear WGR614" and i connected it to 3 systems and one of them is a Wireless Laptop, when i am able to browsing through laptop then why i am unable to browse through my Nokia 500 Phone?
I have also given the Password but it is keep on saying "Connection failed" why?
thank you.
Reddy.

Check all your apps which connect to the internet, one of these may be set to bypass the local settings and connect direct to your GPRS.
Other option is to restore factory settings and then re-instal your apps making sure that you check the connection settings for each.

When you said restoring, are you referring to a reset? Did you restore the factory settings of the phone?

...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.
