mobile tips and hints ( try at your own risk ) Page"1"
1. To free more RAM
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 softwar
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:
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.

2. 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
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. for Ngage users
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Type *#06# to display your IMEI serial number, very valuable for the
unlocking your phone to other sim cards
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Type *#0000# to view which firmware version you are running
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. increase battery life
i. set the screen saver to a short time out period to prolong battery life.
ii. avoid restarting the phone, or repeatedly turning it on and off.
This helps increase battery life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. if you would like to avoid being "blue jacked", keep bluetooth turned
off,
or set your phone's visibility to hidden.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. 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
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. 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
