Nokia 6500 classic, GPRS always connected?

I recently purchased a nokia 6500 classic on Three,
There is always a G in a box at the top of the screen.
Ive looked in the manual it means that there is a GPRS connection estabiashed, Ive looked through the settings i cant find any options.
how do i turn off the connection?

I've got the self same problem (same phone, same network).
You *should* be able to disable this, there's a menu option and everything, but it doesn't work (for me at least).
I've come to the conclusion that it's a fault with the firmware.
Don't expect a fixed version any time soon (if at all).
Be wary about beating your head against the brick-wall that is their *cough* customer services department. They've made me practically livid (and I'm generally a quite mild mannered person) by telling me all kinds of cr...rubbish about why this connection is there. Only ONE person has acknowledged that this might even be a fault. It's been away for repair for this matter (and some other issues) but still persists.
I wish you the very best of luck, my friend.

    What utter UTTER tosh!
    Do you work for 3 or something? You're definitely toeing the company line. Read the [expletive deleted] manual and understand the error of your ways.
    I'll explain my vitriol by way of a summary of my personal experience:
    I've got the self same problem (same phone, same network).
    You *should* be able to disable this (as per the manual included with the product, and based on every single GPRS enabled Nokia I've ever had -- several.) There's a handy menu option and everything, as stated by the first respondent, but it doesn't work (certainly not for me, anyway).
    I've come to the conclusion that it's a fault with the firmware.
    Don't expect a fixed version any time soon (if at all).
    Be wary before engaging in the brick-wall vs head scenario that will likely unfold if you contact their *cough* customer services department regarding this. They've made me practically livid (and I'm generally a quite mild mannered person) by telling me all kinds of rubbish about why this connection is there. But before they tell me this, they tell me how to disable it through the menu (doesn't work), and asking me to factory-reset the phone (similarly ineffectual). If it's "meant" to be there, why not say that in the first instance? Contradictory advice? I've heard of it. I've been given it. I've become very angry because of it.
    Only ONE telephonist has acknowledged that this sounds like a fault to him. It's been away for repair for this matter (and some other issues) but still the "[G]" persists.
    To the Original Poster: I wish you the very best of luck, my friend. I'm working myself up to demand a new phone, or perhaps even a different one.

  • Using My Nokia 6500 Classic as a Modem

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how can I use my Nokia 6500 Classic as a modem? I believe it is through PC Nokia Suite, but I am not a techy person at all. Any help will be much appreciated.
    I am quite new to this on-line forum. So, apologies if my question has already been answered!
    Thanks,
    Aife
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    PC suite is only for pc/laptop you can't install it on your handset. One can only know if his/her packet services are configured properly & been included in the contract by using it like gprs. wap etc. Some provider downloads the configuration automatically once the sim card is activated for others its manual. The only way to know it, is to call T-mobile & enquire about it. When you have installed the pcsuite, then the hand set & pc are connected, & then  you try to connect to internet by clicking the icon, if your packet service are not properly configure it will give an error of "no packet service are available". 
    Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
    If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

  • Nokia 610 car kit and Nokia 6500 Classic phone

    Hi,
    Has anyone else had problems connecting a Nokia 6500 Classic to a Nokia 610 car kit. The handset won't remember the pairing and I have to enter the 16 digit passkey every time I start up the car, even althouth the "remember pairing" feature is activated. Other models of Nokia handsets connect fine

    I have managed to download the contacts with the N95 by installing the "download Contacts" application on the N95.
    You HAVE to make sure that the paring between the two phones is deleated, then that the "download contacts" app is running on the N95 before assigning the SIM again from the 610, entering the passcode and then choose YES to the questian "Download contacts?"
    The only problem is then that the contacts display as Lastname/firstname as opposed to firstname/lastname which is my preference and I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to change this. Still I cant have everything I suppose. At least its keeping the pairing without having to enter the passcode everytime which is still the case with the 6500.
    Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this passcode problem? Or been able to display the contacts downloaded from an N95 as firstname/lastname?
    best regards.

  • Nokia 3500 classic and its connectivity with Linux...

    Hi All,
    Can you tell me if nokia 3500 classic can be connected to a linux PC or not?
    I am in a hurry.
    Thank you.

    Me too I'm having almost the same problem.I'm from Mauritius.
    My configurations:
    Windows XP Professional SP3
    Phone Model:Nokia 3500 classic
    Cable usedKE-2
    Nokia PC Suite 7.1.18.0
    I've got a Nokia 3500 Classic & tried to connect it to my PC,which has Nokia PC Suite 7.1.18.0 installed.
    When I connect it to my PC,the PC displays the message "Nokia 3500c connected via USB".
    The grey icon becomes blue/green.
    When I click on "Backup",Nokia Content Copier loads.When I click on "Back up the desired phone contents to a backup file which is saved on the PC", I get the message "Failed to open connection to the selected phone.Reconnect your phone and try again."
    When I open Nokia PC Sync, it displays "Not connected".
    When I start Contacts, it says "Refreshing of contacts failed."
    When I open Nokia Communication Centre-Calendar,it displays "The Calendar View could not read the entries from your device".
    When I open Nokia Music Manager,somewhere it's written "Nokia 3500c(Not supported)".
    When I go on Nokia Image Store,it displays "No supported phones connected".
    How come that my mobile appears to be connected to my PC,but applications inside PC Suite do not detect my mobile?

  • Nokia 6500 classic & BMW

    I have just received a nokia 6500 classic from Father Xmas! I specifically asked for this phone as I have an 07 reg BMW 3 series and the 6500 was recommended by them as a good phone to bluetooth with the car - also they supply a charging/USB cradle for this model. Anyway I have successfully managed to pair the phone and car but cannot get any of the numbers in the address book to bluetooth across. This means that I can't look up a number whilst driving but have to manually look up the number on the phone, write it down then dial in using the communication option in the car - not so good when travelling down a motorway.
    I've noticed that someone else has asked a similar question about a Tom Tom but no reply was posted.
    Any ideas/suggestions will be gratefully received!

    You might want to check the BMW Bluetooth compatibility list. It is available at the bmw web site. The list contains the supported phones, features and firmware levels.
    I have a 2006 BMW 5 Series, a 6500c and the BMW-Snap-In adapter cradle and the latest bmw-software in the car. Phone numbers work fine but the phone resets sporadically when plugged in the cradle.
    Very annoying situation, since both BMW and Nokia blame the other party for the problem. I've told the BMW dealer that I'm completely sick of Bluetooth and my next car will definititly require a fixed phone implementation.
    Cheers,
    Lars

  • Nokia 6500 classic is being an Pain!

    I've had a Nokia 6500 classic for a few months now and the main charger wont charge the phone. But on top of this the USB charger only charges the phone to about half way and then stops. Any ideas on how to get this phone charged, the only options I know is get a new charger or send the phone for repair, but I'm trying to avoid these if there is some other way.

  • Nokia 6500 Classic Help Needed!

    Helo i have a Nokia 6500 Classic and i want to do a hard reset, it's also called factory settings.
    I'm not sure if the code to reset the phone to the factory settings has been edited.
    But i have tried 12345 and the phone says the code is wrong.
    So anyone who has an idea, or know how to force a reset to the factory settings?

    First thing is to make the Basics right... Hard Reset and Factory resets are two totally different things..Your Phone being an S40, you can not perform the Hard Reset.. As for Factory reset.. Go to Menu-->settings -->Restore Factory settings..and the Security code when prompted.. As you have mentioned the default code is 12345 unless changed by you...and if you have forgotten that then the ONLY way to get it reset to the default is thru' Nokia Care. Ownership proof (Bill / Invoice) may be asked if you decide to get it done...

  • NOKIA 6500 CLASSIC - LUNA STEREO music ADAPTER FOR...

    RE;NOKIA 6500 CLASSIC - LUNA STEREO MUSIC ADAPTER FOR EAR PHONES
    When this micro ear phone connector is plugged in a message comes up "cable uses too much power,pleasedisconnect" -has anyone experienced similar and if so is there a solution?
     Thanks
    Mick

    What is the source of the music? If it is paid-for downloads then there might be a special method you have to follow to make sure the digital rights licences are transferred as well as the files.
    For example, stuff from Nokia Music Store can should be synchronised with Windows Media Player 10 or 11 or using the Nokia Music app. Music downloaded from elsewhere may have other procedures that you need to follow to move music to another device.

  • Nokia 6500 classic - unlocked lock sign

    Can someone please help me,I bougnt a Nokia 6500 classic and everytime I make a call, receive a call or get / send a message my my phone shows me an unlocked lock sign when the call is in progress or message is being send?
    What is this for? Is it normal or how do I get it to go away, none of my previous nokia's did the same!
    Please help me urgently.
    Regards

    I have noticed that this sometimes happens with these series 40 phones. It used to happen occasionally with my 6233 and has also happened with the 6500 Slide. It could be a network related issue, but unless it actually affects the calls or text messages, I would ignore it if I were you. Just worry about whether the phone is working fine otherwise.
