Tricks for Symbian Mobiles!


Tip 1 : Use of Pensil button
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,we can mark easly 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, 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'.choose copy. good for placing song names etc.
 
Tip 2 : when happens wrong, on a smartphone, its inevitable u do something wrong, and tis calls for a format of phone. To format the fone, press *#7370#, then enter the lock code, which is the sec code of the fone.
The lock code is changed to default code (12345)
NOTE: batt must b full, else if format is disrupted by low batt, consequences will b disatrous

For 6600/7610 catogory 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.

Tip 3:To restore default factory settings default press *#7780# and enter lock code
 
Tip 4: Type *#06# to display your IMEI serial number, very valuable for the unlocking your phone to other sim cards

Tip 5: Type *#0000# to view which firmware version you are running

Tip 6: 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.

Tip 7: Save on battery and system memory being used by regulary checking the task manager which can be accessed by holding down the menu button!
Set the screen saver to a short time out period to prolong battery life.
Avoid restarting the phone, or repeatedly turning it on and off. This helps increase battery life.

Tip 8: 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 9: 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 10: 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. (this is not work in all types)

Tip 11: If you would like to avoid being "blue jacked", keep bluetooth turned off, or set your phone's visibility to hidden.

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 12: While you are viewing a picture in your phone's gallery, press one of these shortcut keys (not sure about all symbians)
1 - turn image anticlockwise
3 - turn image clockwise
* - toggle on/off of full screen
5 - zoom in
0 - zoom out.P

Tip 13: Formats of images
supported ones: JPG UPF GIF87a/89a WBMB MBM TIFF/F PNG EXIF

Tip 14 : 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).

Tip 15: To add a photo to a contact number and view when calling goto Menu > Contacts > "select a contact card" > Options > Edit > Options > Add thumbnail > "choose an image".

To Add a personal ringing tone to a contact:
go to Menu > Contacts > "select a contact card" > Options > Open > Options > Ringing tone > "choose a ringing tone".

If you often copy large files to your MultiMedia Card, I recommend a card reader.
Than a pc suit. It will more faster.

Tip 16: 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.(Or press pensil button).

Tip 17: 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):

In Menu or any subfolder, press numbers 1 - 9 to start the application at that location.
123
456
789
In standby mode,
45# + dials the number on your sim in memory slot 45.
50# + dials slot 50 and so on.

If you have your keylock activated just press the on/off button to turn on your backlight
to look at the time when it's dark without having to unlock the keypad.

Never, ever, in 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.
