Nokia 6500 Slide Software Update

I purchased the Nokia 6500 Slide phone at Christmas. I was having a problem with receiving photos and telephoned Nokia. They asked me the version of software on the phone - think it's 3.8. I was told it needed updating to the 4.84 version. I was given the name of a local Nokia Engineer who would be able to do this for me. I have contacted the company and have been told that they would be happy to do this for me, but I would have to leave the phone with them for two days.
Having just read some comments on a website it seems the latest version is in fact 6.60 but there appear to be conflicting views on the software.
Can anyone please advise me whether I am safer sticking with the original software on the phone or having it updating to the 4.84 version - what are the advantages of the new software?
Many thanks
Casselle

Hi there Hamraam, been reading this thread and if you continue to have the problems with your phone, I would suggest taking your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre for them to take a look at. That is strange that calendar entries and personalised settings are not being restored to your phone after the update.
It is unlikely that Nokia will release another firmware update for the 6500 Slide. It was released in October 2006 or thereabouts, same as the 5610 XpressMusic, and with the release of newer models, the support cycle for the 6500 Slide has most likely ended with the release of the last update, 10.00, for unbranded product codes of the handset.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Software issue with nokia 6500 slide handsets

Hi All
I have 2 nokia 6500 slide handsets that seem to have the same issue that driving me mad..
It seems no matter how many times i set a ringtone and screen saver, the phone reverts back to the standard nokia ringtone and a blank screensaver???
I have phoned my network provider who dont seem to be of any help at all and just keep advising me that i should try upgrading the software via the pc suite which ive done several times with no fix!
Im thinking this must be a fault with this handsets/ software as both my phones are doin it and also 3 of my friends phones also are doin the same thing!
Does anyone know why this keeps happening as im really getting fedup with having to reset my ringtone/ screen saver all the time..
Thanxs rich

Nokia 6500 slide problem after updated to firmware...

Hi, I have recently updated my nokia 6500 slide with the latest firmware version 9.40. I realise that after the upgrade, my phone encounters problem reading the SD memory card. It happens intermittently, sometimes you see, sometimes you don't. Initially I thought it was due to my memory card but after replacing it with a new one, problem still occurs.

It looks like something on your system caused the updater to crash.
Unfortunately your only option for that model is to take it to a nokia care point for repair. Tere's nothing else that you can do for it.

Nokia 6500 Slide SMS retrival

I have a Nokia 6500 Slide that is unusable at the moment. There are a lot of very important sms stored in the phone that I would like to retrieve. I brought it to the Nokia care centre in Singapore but they were unable to help as they no longer have the software and hardware to service the phone.
Is there anywhere else I can send the phone to to retrieve the sms stored in the phone? I'm quite sure the messages are still in there; i just need to get them out as the data contained are of utmost importance to me.
Thank you very much.

Well there are data retrieval companies but they may charge a large amount to do so. But i can't name one as i don't know.
Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

Bricked nokia 6500 slide due to cable disconnectio...

well i was updating my old nokia 6500 slide and my computer randomly disconnected the phone making my phone go corrupted, so now whenever i turn it on all i see is a blank screen with a backlight, ive looked all over the internet for a fix and sadly i could not find one, so now im hoping somebody on this site can help me fix it.

blazekid your phone is bricked the only way to make it work again is to take it to Nokia care. Or remove your phone's battery and then re insert it after 5-10 minutes. If This doesn't work you have to do the First one.

Nokia 6500s Slide 'handsfree' query

Hi
I'd like some help with the problem I have with my Nokia 6500s Slide please. When using the phone on it's own without any bluetooth h/free connected, the speech is very clear on incoming and outgoing calls.
Ok, I've had the phone for a week or so and up until now, it has done what I've asked of it but today I paired up my JABRA 250 BlueTooth and that went ok. The 6500 Slide is set to answer automatically after 5 seconds. I then got my wife to call me and the Jabra 250 automatically picked up the call but there was crackling in the headset and I also get this when I am changing options in the phone menu, the confirmation beep is crackly in the headset.
I've used this JABRA 250 with a few other Nokia models including the 6230, 6300 and also a couple of Motorola models and all of them were fine - i.e. no crackling/interference in the headset.
So I'm just wondering if this is only a problem with the phone when I connect a bluetooth handsfree device or, is it a problem with the Jabra 250?
Regards
brave_heart

Hi radical24
Thanks for your response.
I've had the phone a couple of weeks or so and apart from the bluetooth headset issue, it works fine so I've not updated the firmware as yet.
The firmware as shown by the phone is:
v 08.30
03-07-08
RM-240
Variant: 62.07
With reference to the JABRA 250 BT device, it's right that with every other phone (which have been mostly Nokia), it has worked flawlessly but, it must be around three to four years old now, so it could be breaking down?
I would like to update the firmware but I need to know that the latest firmware is ok and worth updating to and, before I would update, my son is bringing round his newer JABRA 250 for me to try and if that works fine, then my JABRA must be faulty.
On the other hand, if shows the same problems, I may consider a firmware update.
Is the Nokia PC Suite ok to use?
Regards

External SMTP server on Nokia 6500 slide

Is there any possibility to change the SMTP server setting for email on nokia 6500 slide? When adding an email account the phone automatically assumes that you would like to send the emails thru the mobile providers ISP, but i have an external ISP with SSL login at port 495.
Is it possible to get any advanced settings in this phone?

It sounds like a hardware problem. Unfortunately we can only help with settings and software issues here.

Nokia 6500 Slide Micro SD Password Problems

Was having problems with my Nokia 6500 slide so brought it into my nearest repair store and the upgraded the software (so they told me). As you know I lost all my settings and anything in the phones memory but I had taken out my microsd card before this and when I put it back in it was asking for a 'password' which I never had in the first place!!!
Now all my memorable pics and videos seem to be gone forever unless I can open it.
Tried passwords like - 1234,12345,.adgj,00000,5555,9999,password,5y5tem,nokia,memcard etc.
I also tried to open it on my laptop which it kept flashing on and off so couldnt open it!!!
Any suggestions would be very helpful

oh , its been a while , I'd like to thank you all for replying to my query above , ive already got the phone ... no problems of resetting ringtones/themes so far.. unless ofcourse yes you remove the backcover and your tones/themes were stored on the mc , mine are on the ph.memory.
overall good phone.. though it hangs when manual tuning the Radio FM.
I've not got a microsdhc card for it yet.. ok to the above post im assuming it wont take a 4GB KINGSTON microSDHC or it wont take in Kingston as a brand...
I'm going to bite the bullet and try out what Knapjee here tried - sandisk 4gb microsdhc .. though i'd like reassurances.
Cheers for now ,

Unlock my Nokia 6500 slide

good evening,
I bought a mobile (Nokia 6500 slide) with SFR in France. I missed six months and I wanted to unblock it but the code to disable the restriction, is not good and he told me that this is a problem that needs to be addressed at Nokia. So I would like to know steps to unblock it, thank you.
Best regards

I'm aware that SFR told you to contact Nokia, and they told you wrong.
What you should be aware of is the fact that mobile network operators do not hesitate to lie to their clients to make themselves look clean and shift the blame for any wrongdoing to the manufacturer.
If SFR got the restriction code wrong it is up to them to try again and get it right. SFR sending you to Nokia is not going to help because Nokia cannot generate the restriction code. These codes are the sole responsibility of the operators who enforce the SIM-lock, and the operators know this full well.
Try SFR again, but don't let them send you back to Nokia. Be persistent. If the front-line customer service is unable to help then ask to have the matter escalated to someone with half a clue who might actually know what he or she is talking about.
Also bear in mind that SFR are crooks as far as I'm concerned. They've tried everything in the book to extort money from me and succeeded on one occasion (charging me €7.50 for a PUK code given over the phone when no such code was given, I had the SIM-lock lifted from my phone more than 6 months after taking out the contract and it was supposed to be free).

Nokia 6500 slide..Bugs and problems..

Just read some posts regarding the nokia 6500 and it seems i too am not alone with the problems on this model..
I have had nothing but problems with this phone and keeps freezing, cuts out whilst in the middle of a call and generally is the most problem ridden phone nokia must have ever produced.
I cant believe that a trusted company the size of nokia would allow a product like this to be released in the uk market.
I do also understand that nokia now have stiff competition from other manafacturers. And have to fight for the share of the market place. But releasing inferior phones that obviously havent passed the research stage Is hardly the way to keep the customers that they have..
I cant wait till my phone is repaired and put for sale on E bay..Anyone recommend a non nokia alternative...
Anyone considering a phone has to avoid a nokia 6500 slide.

From what you have read, same situation with the 6500 Classic?
I was going to get that one?
Thnx
