Return key funtion on 6500 Slide

Hi!
When writing an email, if i want to make a new line (like pressing return key) i have to press the * key to get to the symbols and at the end is a return key function.
Is there a quicker way to do this?
Thanks,
Engelkott

Hi Engelkott,
Im afraid that is the only way.
Several shortcut keys like that would be useful though.
Maybe one day.

6500 slide freezes when receiving SMS

hi,
I own a brand new 6500 slider, its only a few weeks old and it has a very upsetting bug.
when the music player is on and the keys lock automatically (set for 1 minute), and i receive an SMS, the phone simply freezes.
The keys are useless, the light wont even turn on when i open the slide, the screen still turns of in its fashionable manner... the only thing i can really do about it is removing and returning the battery to its socket.
Software version is 4.84.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
nucleus.

I forgot to ask, are you using the prelaoded messaging app?
any taskillers or antivirus?
ram apps, booster apps?
third party home launchers?

White lines on day old 6500 slide!

Hello, wondering if anyone can give me some advice on my nokia.
This is the second one iv had now in a week and its doing exactly the same. third one in total iv seen do this.
When going through the menu or writing a text, a thin white horizontal line will appear across the screen. it does move up or down and it only lasts about a second. very annoying!
I have also noticed aswell, that when im writing a text and have made a mistake, i could be pressing the cancel button for ages and nothing happens. leave it for a second or 2, press it and it works.... i wouldnt mind if it had been dropped or was years old but seen as its a day old then im worried.
like i said this is the third one iv seen do this.
Help anyone??
Thank you, Vicky x

Hi,
I have just got a 6500 slide and have noticed the same horizontal white line that flashes up when scrolling etc. I thought my phone might have a loose connector, but from your post it seems like they all exhibit this bug.
I would be curious to know if anyone with this phone doesn't see the white line. As it is I think I will just return it and try a different phone.
Thanks,
Paul

6500 slide issues (list it here)

I hope to create a single thread to list and discuss all issues users are having with their 6500 slide.
Let me start with mine:
V 0.380
10-09-07
RM-240
Variant: 255.02
1. sometimes the buttons (numbers or options) becomes unrepsonsive; give it a wait and it works again.
2. Ringtone and Message Alert tone goes back to default; or display some weird alphabet+numbers after a while. And i had to manually set back my favourite ringtone for both calls and message. This happens to the default 'General' and renaming MyStyle1.
3. do you find the battery lasting? not for me.

I got my 6500 slide 3 days ago and I have the same firmware version as you - as well as some of the same problems.
The screen/buttons hang, and I have to wait or press the end button repeatedly to get back to the main screen and start all over again. A few times I had to repeatedly push the unlock + * buttons to unlock the phone. I also have problems viewing my contact info in the PC Suite...
And I have scratches on the "2" key on the number pad. Is this just "wear" or is it a defect, as I see this problem reported by many others. I'd like to know so that I don't look like I have OCD when I go to the store for an exchange.

Volume on alert tones 6500 slide

Hi I've recently changed from a 6300 to 6500 slide and overall I'm really pleased with it. However, the volume for the message alert tones is really loud. On the 6500 it the volume is really loud and it had the added benefit of flashing. The software on the 6500 is V04.84. Anybody any idea how I can increase the message alert volume. I have the ringtone volume set at maximum and this is great.

Somewhat embarrasing, but I figure post this so others can use it - have figured it out... open the gallery of alert tones and start playing them, then use the volume adjustment keys on the side of the phone to increase their volume while they are playing. This will then affect the volume they play at when actually selected as the alert tone.

6500 Slide terrible sound quality

Hello,
i just replaced my SE k810 for a Nokia 6500 slide. The problem with the K810 was battery which only lasted for one day. So i thought i`d give Nokia a try. Compared to the SonyEricsson phone, however the sound quality in Nokia is terrible. When i dial a number and press the call button the phone starts buzzing in my ear and the buzzing continues throughout the call. The sound that i hear is metallic and some of the tones seem to be missing at all.
Is this a common problem with this phone? I already returned the phone back to the service but as far as i know all they do there is updating the software, which does not fix anything. 6500 slide owners please comment on the problem.
TY

I agree, the sound quality, among other things make this the worst phone I have ever had. Nothing works on this stupid phone and no one wants to fix it because the say that it has been damaged by rain. Well, that is not strange when it is open in the top ( you charge the phone from the top, stupid feature). So I have a phone that I can't use...

6500 Slide Problems

Hello,
I brought a Nokia 6500 Slide about a month ago, about a week ago all the buttons stopped working except for the End Call (red button), so i could only turn it on and off.
Couple days ago they started to work again, but then i came across another problem. Now everytime i switch the phone on if works fine for a couple seconds then resets to the starting screen and switches itself off.
The software version is v8.3
Any help on this please ?
Regards

Probably the best advice ever given to me about this particular model phone (Nokia 6500) was from a tech support guy, who i might add was very patient with a new user (yes new, not novice - don't assume i know nothing about phones) he spoke clearly and slowly these words.
"Ok sir, please give me another number i can contact you on"
- so i gave him the number of my girlfriends phone -
-30 seconds later he calls back on the other number -
"Ok now go ahead and power down (turn off) your phone and allow at least 30 seconds for the power down to finish, now please go ahead and remove the back plate of your phone, now remove your battery and wait a further one minute while we discuss some other features you mentioned earlier" - so he was giving the phone time to go completely dead with no power (battery removed) and kept chatting to me about other features on the phone, while i presume he kept one eye on the clock- after about 3-4 minutes of discussing some other features on the phone, he said "Now go ahead and reassemble the phone, by putting the battery back in and replacing the back plate" -after i had done all this he said- "Now please turn the phone back on and wait at least 2 minutes before touching any other keys" -again he kept me talking about other features on the phone, whilst maintaining one eye on the clock- at the end of it all- "Please reset all your ringtones and personal settings the way you would like them to be" -again he waited on the line while i did this-"Now please if you have any other problems like this, please call us back" and to this day, i have not called them back.
Listen carefully to what a tech support guy says, follow his/her instructions to the letter and you too can have a trouble free Nokia 6500 like me.
Occasionally when my phone does this default reset - i feel as though it might be a problem with the interface between the mico SD card and the phone's ability to communicate between the 2. So a simple hard reset as described above almost always fixes the problem. Nokia's source coding would be older then most people who come on these forums - and have no doubt in saying that there may be some slight glitches in this particular release ... but a simple hard reset almost always fixes this particular problem.
Some programs that run devices are almost mechanical and if they miss a step, have almost no way of reverting back to the previous step, so resetting the phone will take us back to the first step and allow the phone to work it's way through it's own process until the glitch becomes evident again.

6500 slide syncro problems

I just got a new 6500 slide and I wanted to synchronize it with my old e61 but it is impossible
it is saying that I should check the connectivity. but everything is alright. the bluetooths are on, they do find each other, but as soon as it starts doing it, it stops...

i have the same problems. i went back with it to orange and it kept it for about a month to repair my keypad. when i got it back the camera key on the side of the phone was not working and the problems started to come. memory card can not be read. the phone tells me i erased the memory card but it is still in the phone. i can;t write a message because of the big delay. but if i take out the memory card it works properly. but i installed the new software and now i have no memory. i can;t even write a reminder and save it. what is there to do?

6500 Slide - Max MicroSD Size???

I'm receiving a new 6500 Slide in the next few days, and I'm wondering what memory card to buy.
I know its a MicroSD card, but I've read many contradicting statements on what type (normal or SDHC) it can be used.
I plan to get a 4gb MicroSDHC, but I can't find any support for SDHC anywhere on the 6500 Slide tech specs (but it says support for 4gb), and some reviews I've read say it doesn't support SDHC, but some do.
Can anyone tell me if I can buy a MicroSDHC card and use it without problems?
Message Edited by davito92 on 21-May-2008 12:20 PM

OK, What I said last is somewhat true!
The phone cannot tell you the size/used/free but it will read over 4gb. i have 6GB of music on my 8gb and it can read it all as far as i can tell, i went through the entire card (170 folders of music) and calculated the total (6000mb+) on my pc. although this slows media player down ALOT

6500 slide camera capture

I have noticed that in all of the reviews of the 6500 slide I have seen all images of the camera application are in vertical mode, although the phone has a capture key that would lead you to believe that the camera can also support a horizontal mode as well.
If anyone knows if the camera application also supports horizontal mode (ie. all text and menus rotated to work in this orienation) I would really appretiate it if you could tell me.
Thanks, AndyMessage Edited by andycler on 02-Sep-200705:17 PM

Yes, the phone takes photo's in horizontal mode.
I found this in the 6500 slide's specs:
"Horizontal mode with capture and zoom keys allows you to use the phone like a digital camera"

Return key mapped to f10 button. How to fix?

Every time I press the return key it activates the sound off/on f10 key. Its really limiting the amount of work I can do. I have tried reseting all the keyboard settings in the system prefrences section but nothing has really changed. I need solutions.

Hi cwether9!
I have an article that can help you troubleshoot that issue. The article is all about iPhone hardware troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Specifically, the section you will want to reference is right here:
Buttons and Switches
Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
Try to lock or unlock the phone.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

6500 slide/6110 navigator/N95 8gb ?

Recently upgraded my 3230 to a 6500 slide. It has a couple of problems meaning I intend to return it. I really fancy sat nav for occasional use though, along with a good camera. Am I right in thinking the N95 would cost me each time I use the sat nav ? As im on a low tariff with 1mb per month incl. If so would it be expensive to run compared to 6110 with worse camera, or should I stick to the slide ? What a dilemma. Any thoughts ?

I think you're talking about network data charges related to navigation.
The N95 does use the network to establish it's initial location as the in-built GPS is not terribly good - I think this is called A-GPS as in Assisted GPS.
I also think I've read that this can be turned off, but I can't be sure. My guess is the network charges wouldn't be very high as the location information probably isn't a whole lot of bytes.

In the previous version, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

Hi silvano,
If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
Start in Cell B2
1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
Now you are ready to type into B5 .
Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
Start at B2
1 enter
4 enter
7 enter
etc.
Now start with C2.
Use whatever suits your work flow.
Regards,
Ian.

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.
