1. 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/oplogo".
Add a .bmp picture to folder "oplogo" and restart your phone! The
bmp picture size needs to be: 97 x 25 pixels
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

1. #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 GIF87a/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 174x132 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.
