Orange 6500 Slide Firmware change.

Hello,
I bought an unlocked Orange Nokia 6500 Slide without knowing about the Firmware. It is completely hideous. I'd like to have the standard Nokia Frimware.
Could anyone help me with this?
Help is very much appreciated.
Thank you for your time! :-)

If you get written consent from the operator in question, a Nokia service point may be able to flash the phone with the standard Nokia software. Note, however, that they aren't required to do this by Nokia and so may not do.
Any other method that may exist would invalidate the warranty - we are not allowed to discuss that sort of thing here.

6500 Slide Firmware

Hello,
I got a 6500 Slide that doesn't support French language. How can I change its firmware to another that support French + Arabic language?

You need to go to a nokia care point and pay to have them install the language pack that you require,
note that if you later upgrade your phones firmware this new language pack will be lost

Nokia 6500 slide problem

My 6500 slide keeps changing the theme and ringtone by itself. I changed the micro sd card recently could this somehow be the problem?
Any help appreciated.

The reason for this as I learnt last week is a small switch which is operated by placing the back cover on the phone. Its a 'safety' feature apparently. If you have a picture or ringtone set from the memoery card relese the back. (you will notice it reverts everything back to factory settings. Now do the same but make sure the tone and pic that you use is stored to the phone memory not your card.....presto!! it stays on and dosent revert. People around the globe think its a software bug when actually its not. It prevents you losing data from your memory card. I am currently trying to find out if this feature can be disabled. Its stupid, I know!!!!!

Nokia 6500 Classic\Slide Firmware version 8.30

I've recently installed firmware version 8.30 on my Nokia 6500 Slide, can anyone tell me what the changes are in this recent firmware version?
Can't find anywhere what has changed in this firmware update, also not with Google.

I have noticed a couple of things:
1) When taking pics it looks like it has fixed the bug I had that I could not use the middle button sometimes when taking pics (was only intermittent)
2) It has a really annoying message when fully charged to say 'remove charger to save energy' which is very annoying!

Nokia 6500s1 (6500 Slide) RM-240 Firmware v10.00

Hi, I've noticed that the new firmware version 10.00
for the Nokia 6500s1 (6500 Slide) RM-240 is out.
Does anyone have an idea what is new in this version
and they've fixed in this version?

It's still not listed at the site, butt it's out there.
I've got the update by using nokia software updater.
When *#0000# is entered in the main screen of
my nokia 6500 slide it comes with a screen that reports this:
Nokia 6500s-1
V 10.00
06-03-09
RM-240
(C)Nokia
Variant: 00.00
Virtual Variant:
No virtual variant
Language:
V 10.00
06-03-09
RM-240
(c)Nokia
C
See also the attachments.
It's still a pitty that there is still no information aviable for
this firmware version, they need to be more open about it.

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.
Care points/service centres and repair info:
UK • Europe • Asia-Pacific • USA •
Canada • Middle East and Africa
Elsewhere: Click here, select your country, go to the support section, then select repair.

6500 Slide new firmware 9.60

It seems there's new software out today, version 9.60 for the 6500 slide.
I'm currently on v8.30. Has anyone updated and can tell me of any new features, bugs, etc?
My last post on this got deleted for some reason - mods, do not delete without telling me why!
Thanks,
Jon.

I upgraded - make sure you do back up as it wipes everything & restores to basics (even pre loaded files, themes were back)
Have not found any benefits, but a retrograde step is (as older phones) you are now limited again to 50 members in a group! I only worked this out because PC suite did not restore all contacts - when I tried adding again got an error message
Raise with Nokia but, as usual, got standard response - showing they had not actually read my question

Phone update for 6500 slide

I have used Nokia Software Updater before to update this type of phone and it updated okay to the latest firmware.
But this latest phone it won't recognise, i am using a standard nokia USB cable and it does keep losing connection so i thought it could be a broken cable but i think it could be the phone not being recognized as it came from China and seems to have Chinese Network and Pinyin branding because if you do a factory reset it defaults to Chinese language.
I am able to use Virgin Sim card and also eventually got T-moble internet access on the phone.
Software Details are -
V 05.41
30-11-07
RM-278
(c) Nokia
It always defaults to upper case when texting.
Will debranding get rid of the chinese?

Please, try the Nokia Software Recovery Tool first. Is your Nokia 6500 slide shown in the Nokia Suite or the PC Suite? If not, is your phone correctly shown in the Windows Device Manager? If not, did you right-click in the Windows Device Manager and select ‘Update Driver …’?

If you want to get rid of this uppercase stuff (because of Chinese), you have to change the set of languages. The set of languages are determined by the firmware variant. And the firmware variant is determined by the 7-letter (product) code which is printed on the label underneath the battery.
If you change the model code (RM-xxx) you break your phone because those firmwares do not fit to the hardware (frequency bands, …).
Okay, changing the product code, officially only Nokia Care Points do that, officially. It won’t fix your Nokia Software Updater issue but that uppercase stuff.

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

Continuous music possible 6500 slide

I have transfered albums to listen to on my 6500 slide and when playing them back, the player splits songs which run in to each other, up with a short pause. Can I have the continuous original version. Also some songs from albums are transfered out of order, can these be re-arranged on the player to be back to correct order?

Hey enriel,
Just to clarify your problem and re-enact the situation, you will be playing 'x song', when it changes to 'y song', the title of 'x song' is still displayed, whether the music player is shown on screen or not.
If so, I am having the EXACT problem, my exact firmware version is 7.15 (the latest that I can find). If a solution is found, I can't wait to hear it!
Nokia has also been alerted of this bug, but please, if anyone finds out soon, again I would love to hear it!

Problem with Contacts for 6500 slide

I recently bought a Nokia 6500 slide and i`m very pleased, except one thing.
I used to have some other phones, and all my contacts were on the memory of that phone (not on the SIM).
For me to have my contacts on the 6500 slide, i had to move all those contacts on the sim, then insert the sim into the 6500 slide and move them again from there to the phone memory (i hate having my contacts on the sim couse i can't add any aditional info).
Ok, so.. after i moved all my contacts to the phone memory, i saw that from about 200 contacts, i only have about 20. At first i thought "ok, there was a problem with the moving process and i lost them all..." I was just about getting over this, when I realized that those numbers that I lost are still in there, but i can't see them.
If I manualy enter a number of a contact that don't show in my Contacts List, when it dials, the number appears on the screen. Same if that contact calls me. I can't see them in the Contact List tho.
It's like there are hidden or something..
I tried changing the settings so that i can see only the contacts in the SIM (in which case, none apear), only in the phone (only those 20 or so appear) or showing both (still, only 20 or so appear).
The contacts are not in the SIM couse i tried putting the sim back in the old phone, and it's empty.
They must be somewhere in the phone. Is there a hidden setting that i can find, that allows me to see those contacts that I thought I lost? It's very annoying to wait till someone calls me so I can add his number again in the phonebook
To be more specific, let me give an example.
Let's say I had contact "John" with the number "12345678". Now I can't see it anymore.
If i dial 12345678 and then hit "Call", it apears like "Calling John"
If John calls me, it apears like "John" on the screen.
If i try to add John to the phone book I get a message like "A name is already entered for that number"
It's like... all the contacts are already there, but I can't see them
Can someone help me please... I`m really desperate

Hello and welcome to the forums;
First, you mention the error references a SIM card, however your profile says you have a Sprint device. A small problem there, and I would like to clear up any confusion as which device you have: a Sprint CDMA device, or one with a SIM card.
Second, have you tried restarting your device? Hold down the power button and move the ringer mute switch next to it back and forth 3 times, then wait 4-5 seconds for the device to restart by itself.
Try this, and let us know what happens.
