edit button (abc or pencil button)?
Heres how... in the inbox for example; u wanna delete multiple sms,
simply hold the edit button, scroll down, and then, press c to delete
the marked sms. The edit button can also b used to copy and past
text in sms, simply hold it and scroll across, choose copy. pretty
good for placing song names in ngages
Tip 2 : ….happens, on a smartphone,
its inevitable u do something wrong, and tis calls for a format
of fone. to format the fone, press *#7370#, then enter the lock
code, which is the sec code of the fone. NOTE: batt must b full,
else if format is disrupted by low batt, consequences will b disatrous
I heard the code *#7780# works too, pretty much the same i tink.
for 6600 users, to format the fone, theres an alternative way. Press
and hold <3>, <*>, and the buttons, then power on fone,
keep holding on the 3 buttons, till u come to a format screen. tis
method ONLY works on 6600, and need not enter the sec code. BUT
sec code wun be reset to default 12345.
Tip 3 : TO NGAGE USERS; Did u know
u can install .sis files simply using the cable given? Juz plug
it in, place the .sis file anywhere on e: (the mmc), not in any
folders, root of e:, disconnect, then look for it in manager.
Tip 4: Save on battery and system
memory being used by regulary checking the task manager which can
be accessed by holding down the menu button!!
Tip 5: Type *#06# to display your
IMEI serial number, very valuable for the unlocking your phone to
other sim cards
Tip 6: Type *#0000# to view which
firmware version you are running
Tip 4a: Set the screen saver to a
short time out period to prolong battery life.
Tip 4b: Avoid restarting the phone,
or repeatedly turning it on and off. This helps increase battery
life.
Tip 7: If you would like to avoid
being "blue jacked", keep bluetooth turned off, or set
your phone's visibility to hidden.
Tip 8: Don't want to carry a watch
and a phone? Set the screen saver to show date and time, then you
can ditch the watch.
Tip 9: Save memory when installing
apps, by installing over bluetooth. This can be done using the nokia
phone suite and a bluetooth serial connection. Only works with .SIS
files, so java still has to be sent to the phone, but will save
space when using .SIS files.
Tip 10: Operator logos
Use a filemanager like FExplorer or SeleQ to add the folders: "c:/system/Apps/phone/oplogo".
Add a .bmp picture to folder "oplogo" and restart your
phone! The .bmp picture size needs to be: 97 x 25 pixels
Tip 11: Check if the recepients phone
is on
Delivery reports
or
Type *0# your message in the message composer window space then
write your message, the recipient will not see the star zero hash
bit - just the message When they read it it will relay a message
back to your fone showing the time they recieved it. (haven't yet
tried it myself though).
Tip 12: BlueJacking
First up, you need to know what Bluetooth is. There are lots of
types of modern devices that incorporate Bluetooth as one of their
many features. PDAs, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these
modern devices. Bluetooth means that Bluetooth enabled devices can
send things like phonebook/address book contacts, pictures &
notes to other Bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over a range
of about 10 metres. So, we've got past the boring part. Now, using
a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write
a message, eg. 'Hello, you've been bluejacked', in the 'Name' field.
Then you can search for other phones with Bluetooth and send that
phonebook contact to them. On their phone, a message will popup
saying "'Hello, you've been bluejacked' has just been received
by Bluetooth" or something along those lines. For most 'victims'
they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone.
Tip 13: While you are viewing a picture
in your phone's gallery, press one of these shortcut keys (definitely
works on 6600, not sure about other symbians)
1 - turn image anticlockwise
3 - turn image clockwise
* - toggle on/off of full screen
5 - zoom in
0 - zoom out
#15 u can select all files in a folder
by selecting THE folder and copy it then paste it somewhere. however
u need to make a new directory. fexplorer wun let u copy that folder
together. well seleQ can mark files to copy but it really takes
time!
#16: A soft and Hard reset
A Soft-reset - the process of resetting all the settings of the
phone to the factory default! No applications are deleted! A Hard-reset
is like formatting a drive! It does format the memory. Everything
that has been installed after the first use of the phone is deleted!
It will recover the memory of the phone to the state you purchased
it! It is done by inputing the following code: *#7370# NOTE: The
battery must be full or the charger has to be connected to the phone
so that it does not run out of power and make the phone unusable.

the whole 3650 system. It was never intended to work on the 3650,
only on the 7650.
Why assigning Video Recorder in the right or left soft key does

(Sound Recorder is launched instead
of Video Recorder)
It's a bug with firmware version 2.50.
How to check your firmware version:
A "Firmware" is the phone's
operating system stored in internal Flash memory of the device (disk
Z.
Manufacturers release new firmware versions containing bug fixes,
improvements and - sometimes - offering new functions.
Firmware upgrade can only be made in authorized Nokia service centre
(point).
To check your current firmware version
simply type *#0000# on main Phone screen.
·
How to check your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)?
Type *#06# on main Phone screen.
Start up in Safe Mode so no 'auto
start' apps will be running:
To make sure that no memory-resident
programs start when you reboot your phone,
hold down the pencil key when you turn on the phone and hold it
on untill you have to enter your PIN code.
(When you have trouble booting up the phone with the MMC in it because
it got corrupted for some reason, this trick will
almost always let you boot up the phone so you can remove the latest
installed app which might have caused the
problem or if your phone is "unrepairable" you can still
back up your important data before you do a format.)
Q: How to totally format your Nokia
3650 and remove all installed applications, user files and restore
all
settings to default like it's new out of the box? (OEM apps won't
be deleted like Camera and RealOne Player).
A: First Format your MMC: Menu >
Extras > Memory > Options > Format mem. card > Yes.
Note: It is very important to format your MMC before you format
your phone!
Then format your phone by typing *#7370# on main Phone screen.
Phone will ask: "Restore all original phone settings? Phone
will restart." Press 'Yes' and enter your Lock code (default
is 12345).
Tip: Formatting takes several minutes so you'd better connect your
Nokia 3650
to a charger to ensure that your battery doesn't get empty in the
middle of formatting.
Note: All your created acces points and mailboxes will be lost so
take a note of them. And all application settings will be reset.
E.g. In Camera, image quality is set back to normal and memory in
use is set back to phone memory. And also in Messages,
memory in use is set back to phone memory, etc. Also backup your
contacts with PC Suite or a program like Contacts Manager.
To reset your wallet, should you
forget your code,
Type in:
*#7370925538#
this will reset the wallet code, the wallet contents will be deleted.
How to free more RAM on your phone
>>>
>>> Method 1: Flight mode:
Put your phone in "Flight mode" with Psiloc System Tools.
Install System Tools, open it and select "Flight mode".
This way you can restart the phone without your SIM card so there
will be no running phone tasks in the background. Now you can have
up to 3,5 MB of free RAM!
Note: ironically enough, Flight mode doesn't work when Smart Launcher
is installed, at least in my case.
But i've also heard several reports of people who have both apps
running without any problems.
>>> Method 2: Smart Launcher trick:
Install Smart Launcher and open it. Go to Options, Settings and
put Launcher ON.
Now plug in your charger and switch off your phone. Wait untill
the battery meter appears and short press the Menu button (don't
hold).
The menu should appear and now you can have 3,5 to 4,5 MB free RAM!
(Hold Menu button to check RAM).
The trick is that with the charger plugged in, the phone must get
a minimum software support for charging, even when
the phone is switched off. And somehow Smart Launcher has still
got it's shortcut running and that's the Menu button. So when
you press the Menu button, you go directly to the Menu without any
other phone tasks running in the background so
you trick the phone and you have more free RAM!
Note: when you unplug the charger, the phone will switch off.
>>> Method 3: Menu :
This method I found it by myself, it frees a little about 100~200
KB but I guess it's useful sometime
Close your menu not by selecting the right selection key "exit",
or pressing the menu key another time, they only hide the menu app
but do not close it, to close it select the left selection key "option"
and scroll down and select "exit"
So when you open an app needs more
ram reopen menu and close it, it's useful when play low bit rate
video in realplayer paradise.
