Tips 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 Call (Send)
buttons, then power on
fone, keep holding on the 3
buttons, till u come to a
format screen. This method
ONLY works on 6600, and
need not enter the sec code.
BUT sec code would 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 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 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 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
Tips 14 :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!
Tips 15 :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.
