Tricks for Symbians! Tip 1 : Do u

(abc or pencil button)? Heres
how... in the inbox for example; u
wanna delete multiple sms,

down, and then, press c to delete
the marked sms. The edit button
can also b used to copy and past

sec code of the fone. NOTE: batt

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 >, <>, 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 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

switching window, where you

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

unlimited sound recording get
this app: Extended Recorder.

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. ·
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.
