15 General Tips and Tricks for Nokia Users

  • 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.

  • Hacking: Removing installed Themes in s60v3

    Many people have experienced a bug where they will install a theme on their device but when they try to remove it using the Application Manager there is no entry for it. I still see this problem on the latest N73ME firmware and on newer firmware for other devices as well. Don't despair though, as long as you install your themes to your memory card there is an easy way to remove those unwanted themes.

    1. Connect your device to your PC in 'Mass storage' mode - or insert your Mini SD card into a card reader and connect it to your PC.

    2. Once your PC recognizes your card a new drive will appear under 'My Computer'. Open it, and browse to private10207114import.

    3. Browse through each of the folders in this directory to find the theme you would like to remove. The MBM, MIF, and SKN files in each folder should each be named after the theme - so if you want to remove a theme called "MyTheme", look for "MyTheme.mbm" etc.

    *Note that you may see some MBM/MIF/SKN files named simply "themepackage.mbm" etc. In this case, simply open the SKN file in Notepad and you will see the actual theme name in the first few lines of text.


    4. Once you've found the folder containing the theme files you'd like to remove, simply delete the contents of the folder (don't delete the folder itself).

    Now put your card back in your phone you'll notice that the theme is no longer listed under themes and you've freed up some space on your memory card.

    Save your Battery Charge

  • These are the some of the steps you have to do for long battery charge. very usefull stuff for mobile users.

    1) Go sitting>phone>display> brightness (dark) [more display bright need more power]

    2) Go sitting>network>network mode (gsm) [dual mode used for 3g & gsm network but gsm 
    used only gsm network, so dual mode need power more then gsm]

    3) After used bluetooth u must turn off it, Bcoz if u bluetooth turn no after 8 house your battery 50% charge over.[Note-IRDA also need more power]

    4) Used ringtone not vibration alert.

    5) After hear songs must removed head-phone.

    6) Turn off your mobile then charge. Its good 4 your mobile health.

    7) More switch off/on (mobile off/on) need much power.

    8) Turn off u r key-pad sound.

  • Easy flashing procedures for sony ericsson

    Before start the process read the article fully...
    1. First install setoolon your system.
    2. After that install one more software named gg-setup
    3. now download"advanced bass w200.zip" ( request if u need more drivers or other modification files by ur comment)
    4. if u r downloaded a specific file frm there. Then u wil get a zip file and just extract it.then u can see again a zip file named "ifs".this is our master file for flashing.but, dont unzip that ifs.
    5. then just open the software setool.exe which u downloaded early. here we shouldmore careful bcoz there is a chance to damage ur phone if u are doing anything wrong.
    6. ok just select the phone model as w200.then just open that "ifs" zip file in the "MISC FILES" tab. (dont upload anything in other tabs). now u can c the path of that ifs.zip file in the MISC tab.
    7. switch off ur phone.then plug the usb cable but dont connect the phone.
    8. click "FLASH".Then the software tells u to "hold ur phone's "C" button and connect the cable".do it correctly. (when u connecting the 1st time the cable to phone windows automatically copy the drivers for flash cable.after finishing the driver setup just click again flash and do the same step.)after sometime it shows ready. then disconnet ur phone and switch on. SEE THE MAGIC! now.

    Flash wallpaper & screensaver images for sony ericsson...

  • Here the set of ".swf " files for sony ericsson mobiles to set wallpapers* and screen savers*.
    * You need to flash your mobile before applying the images 
    Changing the normal screensaver , with a flash one
    The shortcut* of the flash file goes to : "tpa\system\settings"
    The flash file goes to : "usb\other"
    At the end , u make a ZIP archive of both things ( togheter ) , put it in Misc , and after press Flash in Se-tool
    Because w200 doesn't allow us to put flash files as screensavers , we must create a tweak for that. First , a shortcut that contains the address to the flash file. After that , the phone will put as default the flash screensaver choosen by u. If u don't like the flash file located in the zip Archive , don't worry , u don't have to reflash to gain another one. Just pick some of u're favorite flash files , and upload them to "other" folder in the phone . Then , rename them into "iphone" , and that's it , next time u'll lock your phone , u'll see u're flash file set as screensaver ( wallpaper as flash not recomanded , because of meny meny bugs )
