^^^tips and tricks for symbian^^^

:: Tips & Tricks For Symbians! :: Tip 1 : Do u know how to use the 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 : Shit 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/o plogo". 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. #17: Formats of images supported ones: JPG UPF GIF87 a/89a WBMB MBM TIFF/F PNG EXIF How to copy & paste text in your Nokia 3650: Press and hold the pencil key and select your text using the scroll key. Left function key will change to 'Copy'. Press it to copy the selected text to clipboard. You can paste the clipboard contents the same way: press and hold the pencil key and press 'Paste'. Or, press pencil key once and select 'Paste'. Press and hold the Menu key to open the application switching window, where you can *duh* switch between applications. If a program hangs and you can't shut it down, select the application in the application switching window and press 'C' to kill it. It's also a faster way to exit programs. Turn on/off the "click" sound made by the camera by selecting the 'Silent' profile or by turning warning tones on/off: Menu > Profiles > "select your activated profile" > Personalise > Warning tones > On/Off. (This also effects the sound of Java games and apps). To change background image go to: Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Standby mode > Background image > Yes > "choose an image". The best size for background images is 174 x132 pixels. Only got blue, green and purple in your 3650 colour palette? This free app adds 3 more colours: Palette Extender. Display an image when someone's calling: Menu > Contacts > "select a contact card" > Options > Edit > Options > Add thumbnail > "choose an image". Add a personal ringing tone to a contact: Menu > Contacts > "select a contact card" > Options > Open > Options > Ringing tone > "choose a ringing tone". Delete all messages from your Inbox at once: Menu > Messaging > Inbox > Options > Mark/Unmark > Mark all > Options > Delete. Send or hide your caller ID: Go to: Menu > Tools > Settings > Call > Send My Caller ID > 'Yes', 'No' or 'Set By Network' to follow the default settings of your home network. If you often copy large files to your MultiMedia Card, I recommend a card reader. E.g. With a card reader it takes only 12 seconds to copy a 10 MB file! Record the sound of a phone call using the (sound) Recorder. Menu > Extra's > Recorder > Options > Record sound clip. Note: short beeps are audible during call registration. But there is a 60 second limitation so if you want unlimited sound recording get this app: Extended Recorder. While writing text, press "#" to switch between upper and lower case and Dictonary on/off (predictive text input). Press and hold "#" to switch between Alpha mode and Number mode. Keyboard shortcuts for zooming and rotating images in Images: 1 = zoom in, 0 = zoom out, press and hold to return to the normal view. 2 = rotate anticlockwise, 9 = rotate clockwise, * = full screen. In standby mode, press and hold the right soft key to activate voice dialling. To add a voice tag to a phone number, open a contact card and scroll to the phone number and select: Options > Add voice tag. You can customize both soft keys located below the screen (in standby mode): Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Standby mode > Left/Right selection key > "select an application". In standby mode. press scroll key center (joystick) to go directly to Contacts. In standby mode, press and hold 0 to launch your wap home page. In Menu or any subfolder, press numbers 1 - 9 to start the application at that location. 123 456 789 In standby mode, 45 # + dials the number on your sim in memory slot 45. 50 # + dials slot 50 and so on. If you have your keylock activated just press the on/off button to turn on your backlight to look at the time when it's dark without having to unlock the keypad. Never, ever, in your whole life, install WildSkinz on your Nokia 3650!!! WildSkinz screws up 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 not work? (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. A 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 paradis. Retrieve lost MMC password 1 Open file explorer. (SeleQ, FExplore, AppMan, whateva') 2 search for MMCSTORE 3 when you find it, send it to yer PC 4 on PC, open the file with Notepad, or any word processor 5 there goes your password - Make a note and input as follows Subject: Speed Due Date: 01-29-2005 (mm-dd- yy) Priority: set to High then press Done - Make a second Note and input as follows Subject: Qoukie Due Date: 01-29-2005 (mm-dd- yy) Priority: set to Low then press Done - Do not exit yet, Press the Option of your Subject note w/c is Speed and Mark as done - then Press the Option of your Subject note w/c is Qoukie and Mark as done - Now, reboot ur mobile. Use BT for an internet connection (6600) Well its not as easy as you think. And after learning the way Symbian works for nearly a year now, I still havent figured this one out. Anyways, heres a link where everything is explained. http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/mra ento/symbian/ bt-ap.html Ok I found this other guide which is more easy for newbies to follow. I ahvent checked it on my 6600 . Will do the testing soon. Those of you on N-gage & 3650 please try too and post a new topic outside this FAQ section about how it is. [Quote tzeonn] this will work on most s60 phone I guess! it has been tested on an NGAGE and on N3650! step 1: Creating an access point on your phone! tools\settings\connection\access points\options\new access point>default settings... these are the settings u need there.. Connection Name : Anything (sugestion ADLS or PCGPRS something u remember well cuz u'll need it later!) Data Bearer: GPRS Access Point Name: The name you gave to your bt connection when pairing up with the computer... Username : None Password : No Authentication : Normal Gateway IP Address : 0.0.0.0 and that's all on this on this part.. then go to: tools/settings/connection, and select GPRS set the GPRS connection to "when available", and the access point to "none". The settings on your fone are done! now... the next step; Create a serial port connection from ur pc to ur phone (u've done this before if u ever used Pcsuite from nokia), this serial connection must be on everytime you want to use your pc internet connection as a gprs connection for ur phone!! Install the software u need to surf the web (opera, netfront, agile messenger for chat, etc..) My advise to you is to use netfront, the options are pretty cool and it uses less memory meaning u can still run other program such as agile at the same time (it crashed my 3650 when I tried to do it with opera).. VoilAi ur ready to use ur phone to surf and chat for free!! hope this helped you and that is simple and clear!! any question u know where to post, this will be updated if many doubts come up. ps. works with ngage arena games!!!

Now if u want to use opera 6.1 , Change the folder opera to opera2 and opera1 back to opera 6. enjoy guys u have both the versions of opera now Adding A New Infra Red Device To Tour PC When you cant uninstall an application(most of the time Java games) using the Manager function of the phone, then do this; I know IR is old skool but hey, it comes handy at times especially when BT acts-up on you. This one is written by a good online buddy of mine, qtdemon666. This procedure assumes that the infrared device is connected to a serial port on your computer. Use this procedure only if Windows did not automatically install an infrared device when you turned on your computer. Typically, Universal Serial Bus (USB), PCMCIA, and other Plug and Play-compliant infrared devices are automatically detected and installed. To add a new infrared device: 01. Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add Hardware. 02. The Add Hardware Wizard starts. 03. Click Next. 04. Click Yes, I have already connected the hardware, and then click Next. 05. In the Installed hardware list, click Add a new hardware device, and then click Next. 06. Click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced), and then click Next. 07. In the Common hardware types box, click Infrared devices, and then click Next. Do one of the following: 01. If you do not have an installation disk for the infrared device, click the manufacturer of the device in the Manufacturer list, click the infrared device that best matches your hardware in the Infrared Device list, and then click Next. 02. If you have a manufacturer's installation disk for a compatible driver, click Have Disk. Insert the manufacturer's installation disk into the appropriate drive, and then click Next. Follow the instructions that are displayed on the remaining pages of the Add Hardware Wizard to install the infrared device. View the Properties of an Infrared Device To use this procedure, there must be an infrared device installed on your computer. Note that the settings for the infrared device are configured automatically when you install the device, and typically do not have to be changed. To view the properties of an infrared device: 01. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Wireless Link. 02. Click the Hardware tab, click the infrared device for which you want to view properties, and then click Properties. Configure a Serial Port for Infrared Communication Your computer must support an infrared mode for a serial port. Use this procedure to install an IrDA transceiver that is provided by the computer manufacturer. To configure a serial port for infrared communication: 01. Start the BIOS configuration utility for your computer. Note that the method for starting the BIOS configuration utility varies from one computer to another. For many computers, you can start the BIOS configuration utility by pressing a function key that is indicated during the computer startup process. Some computers require that you start by using special configuration disks. For more information about how to enter BIOS Setup, see your computer manufacturer's documentation. 02. In the peripheral or serial port configuration section, change the mode to IrDA or Infrared. Troubleshooting Installing an IrDA transceiver disables the serial port. Do not attach a serial IrDA transceiver to a serial port. Error of App Close Main! During Start Up You can fix the app close main error.. 1) Open your filemanager/explorer 2) Go to c:/system/bootdata & delete FirstBoot.dat 3) Turn off phone & take out your MMC card 4) Turn on phone and put in current time/date 5) Wait for it to boot up then turn off phone again. 6) Put MMC back in and turn on phone. Excellent Searching Tips on Google By tinamou hi guys and gals, just nw to the forum i have seen many request for free games of nokia on this forum..the best method i found is through google.. just type the following line in your google search box and see experience a new world of finding games for games "parent directory" nokia games -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml - opendivx -md5 -md5sums for tones "parent directory " nokia polyphonic -xxx -html -htm - php -shtml -opendivx -md5 - md5sums for symbian games "parent directory " symbian games -xxx -html -htm -php - shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums for Wallpapers "parent directory " nokia wallpapers -xxx -html -htm - php -shtml -opendivx -md5 - md5sums for general Midi "parent directory " midi -xxx - html -htm -php -shtml - opendivx -md5 -md5sums If you encounter situation like below on your 6600, 1. Blank screen phone unable to reboot. 2. Phone only able to boot-up to "Nokia" word screen. 3. Install some program but not able to uninstall it after that. 4. Error messages such as "Child Installer" keeps popping-up. Do a Full phone formatting on your 6600! as steps below, 1 . Make sure you have at least 3 /4 charge of battery power left. 2. Backup your contacts list and personal files to MMC memory card. 3 . Switch-off your 6600 phone. 4 . Press and hold 3 keys; Green dial key, * (star key) & no. 3 key and then press the power on/off to swtich on the 6600 phone. Remember, do not let go all of the keys and hold keys until you see a formatting word screen show! 5 . After a few minutes when the Full phone formatting completed, your 6600 will back to original system and factory settting. All apps installed & not of the phones' default will be lost. If you did a backup on your mmc, you can restore it back to the C drive again. Works With All Devices. Increase Your MMC Space. Your files in MMC are stored in multiple (disk) blocks. So if you format using 16 K block, the space used will be 16 K eventhough your file is just 1K. If you buy MMC, it is usually preformatted with 16 K block. Therefore alot of space is wasted as most installed program files are usually less than 2K. You will need a card reader to do this:- 1. Connect card reader and copy all your files in the MMC to computer disk. (Make sure you set the show all/hidden/os files to "on") 2. Do a format of the MMC using command line "format" and use the /A=size option. Alternative, you can use the Disk Management in Adminstrative Tools to format. Make sure you select FAT. For 256 MB MMC, smallest block you can use is 4 K, 128 MB is 2 K, 64 Mb is 1 K and 32 MB is 512B. (Note: You cannot use the phone "format MMC" to do this as the format just clear the allocation table and does not change the block size) 3. Copy back all files to MMC. Now you will find that you will have more space. 256 mb MMC got back 30+ mbs Installing Ngage Games on 6600 /7610 /3650 /3660. From aboutnokia.co.uk: there are 2 types of ngage games. 1 is in.blz format, the other is a folder wif man other files and folders. im going to talk about the.blz version 1st. ------- .blz ------- u need the.blz file, and blzinstaller.sis to install it. 1) install the blzinstaller.sis, into fone or mmc, doesn matter. 2) send the.blz file to ur fone. for tis example, im gonna use sonic.blz. 3) move the.blz to the root dir of e:, which is ur mmc. meaning, DUN place it in any folders, place it in e:, so it looks like tis <e:/sonic.blz> 4) run blzinstaller to install, can take a while thou. Note: if u send the.blz file to ur fone wifout using pc suite, it normally ends up in the inbox. For 6600 and 3650 users, space on c: is limited, so go to <messages>, <options>, <settings>, <other> set the mem in use to mmc. and den, use a file explorer (example, fexplorer, seleq, etc), go to e:/system/mail/(1 st folder), and find the.blz file, its in one of the 16 folders labelled 0-9, a-f. den cut, paste to e: root dir. there u go!.blz version! -------------------------------- ------------------- now, for the folder type of ngage games... -------------------------------- ------------------- sometimes, when u get a ngage game from irc, it doesnt come in.blz format, but in a folder named <system>. open it, it shld be another folder name <app>. open it again, is a folder tts the game. for tis example, the folder name in system/app tt u downloaded is <fifa> for ngage users, simple as hell, paste fifa folder into e:/system/app folder of ur fone, using the supplies usb cable. if u cant see the system folder when u plug the usb cable, change the folder settings to reveal all folders. for 3650 and 6600 users, it will b a bit troublesome. u haf to move the files 1 by 1 , into the exact place on ur mmc. so, u haf to create a <fifa> folder on ur e:/system/app, den copy the files to the exact same location, 1 by 1. occasionally, u get another folder wif the system folder when u download the game. u haf to replace the 2 lib files in ur mmc. place them in e:/system/LIB. if theres no such folder, create one. So thats about it! Note: Want to do this? Go get a MMC reader. Its the easiest & quickest way to trasfer files Knowing Files Extension In downloads thread you can find diferent type of files (like you can find it over the web...) .sis = Symbian installation file, just send it to your phone, and install. .jar = Java installation, send file to your phone, and install. Note about.jar files. You dont need to extract the.jar files into your PC, juest send them to your phone directly. By the way, if you get a.zip (or other extension) and when extract its content you get lot of files and folders, files like \META- INF\MANIFEST.MF, or *.class, it should be a.jar file... then, dont extract, just rename the main.zip to.jar. and send to your phone. .zip = The standard compressed file, you can use winzip to extract the content... www.winzip.com .ace = Other format of compressed file: www.winace.com .rar = And the compressed format about everybody ask... www.rarlabs.com Note: Its always best to extract.zip,.ace &.rar files on your PC first as your phone can only most of the time.

THE JAMES BOND TRICK If you short-circuit theleft middle and right pins on the bottom of the phone with all connections touching each other, the Nokia software hangs! The profile AHeadsetA will be activated. Before you do this just activate the AAutomatic AnswerA in the headset profile and set the ringing volume to AMuteA. Now you can use your phone for checking out what people are talking about in a room. Just place it under a table in a room and call it. The phone receives the call without ringing and you can listen to people wat they are saying.. 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) This is definitely NOT a Symbian trick, it is a network supported feature, and it depends on GSM operator what type of code they have implemented. For example, in Croatia we (for the time being) have 2 networks; T- Mobile is using *R* code, and VIP is using ! code for deliveries... Tips & Tricks: Resetting Your Predictive Text Dictionary I find that one of the more annoying limitations with S60 devices is that fact that once your device has "learned" a new word and added it to your predictive text dictionary, there's no going back. It seems that every time I add a new word to the user dictionary it replaces a more commonly used word. I make enough mistakes with T9 so the last thing I need is "yes" being replaced by "WEP" every time I type it, just because I was talking to someone amonth ago about WiFi security... I'm sure that everyone reading this right now has experienced this annoying scenario. I now know that there is a way to delete user additions without having to go as far as formatting your device. Unfortunately it's an "all or nothing" solution (all user additions are removed) but it's still far better than having to back up all of your data and perform a hard reset. Getting a fresh start with predictive text is actually quite simple: Use a file browser (Y-Browser, ActiveFile, X-plore, etc) and delete the directory C:\Predic (delete the entire directory, not just the DAT file within). Reboot your device. That's it! Now you can enjoy a blank slate - at least until the next time you add a word that you shouldn't have... ;) How to Fix the N95 /E90 Browser Image Bug As many speculated (and as I had been told) the browser image display bug is a result of certain issues involving AT&T proxy servers.
