All of us need the tips to make our mobile sets more comfortable and easy to work, here below my some tips collection and uploading for all of my freinds...
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 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 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 GIF87a/89a WBMB MBM TIFF/F PNG EXIF

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.

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.
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.

Flashing BB5 Nokia phones with an USB cable(upgrading firmware)
Flashing BB5 Nokia phones with an USB cable
This tutorial explains how to upgrade your Nokia BB5 with the latest firmware. You will need a USB DKU-2 cable and the software “PHOENIX Service” by Nokia! (No dongle to buy!!!)
This method proved successful by flashing one Nokia 6680 ORANGE and another one branded SFR, and also on other hundreds of BB5 phones, like 6630 Nokia original firmware version, N70, N90…
However, we cannot be hold responsible for the damages you can do by making a wrong handle, and losing your warranty!
BEFORE BEGINNING!
- Save all the data from your phone (on your memory card or on PC)
- Remove your memory card and your SIM card
- Fully charge your phone’s battery
- Uninstall Nokia connectivity cable driver / Nokia connectivity solution from your PC!
- Uninstall Diego and Phoenix if you have them on your PC (think to delete manually from « program files » the files that might persist after the uninstall, and even clean tour registries if you still have problems)
What you need :
- the following software:
1 - Diego (e.g.: 55667793_Diego_3_06.msi)
2 - Phoenix 2004 + ----- (e.g. : phoenix_service_sw_2004_39_7_70.EXE + 1------_dongle_phoenix_all_.EXE)
3 - Phoenix 2006 (e.g. : phoenix_service_sw_2006_12_5_136.rar)
- the firmware of your phone. (check the file ‘last firmware’ for the latest versions of your bb5 phone at the date of appearance of this tutorial)
- the DKU-2 cable and the phone, of course.
Some of these files are archived on volumes. Unpack them all in the same folder and you will finally get the file you want. For Phoenix 2004, do “Save as” in order to download it, and change it in “.EXE”.
Step N° 1 - INSTALL DIEGO
- Run and install the following file: 55667793_Diego_3_06.msi
- If you get an error during the installation, it’s because you didn’t uninstall the Nokia connectivity cable driver!
Step N° 2 - INSTALL PHOENIX SERVICE 2004 WITH THE -----
- Open the ----- first. Just open it, don’t run it now!
- Start installing phoenix 2004. During the installation you’ll get an error message.
- Press on “Retry” and run the ----- immediately after! (Check that the destination folder is Windows/system32).
If you’re not fast enough, the message will reappear and you’ll have to re-run the ----- the same way as above (but faster…)
- You’ll get 2 error messages, just press OK, and then Finish.
- You successfully installed phoenix service 2004.
Restart your PC.
Step N° 3 - INSTALL PHOENIX 2006
You have the shortcut for Phoenix on your desktop. Run it, and you might get several times the message "dskey not found!”. This is normal, just press « ok », and eventually Phoenix should open.
- Don’t close the program. You must only minimize the window.
- Run phoenix_service_sw_2006_12_5_136.EXE. You shouldn’t have any error!
- Make sure you don’t restart the PC at the end of the installation. Just choose "restart my PC later" and then Finish.
Now you can close the window of Phoenix that you have minimized.
Go to the folder Program files/Nokia/phoenix and copy this entire folder on your desktop.
Restart your PC.
If you have any error messages after the reboot, just press « Cancel ».
Go to /Program files/Nokia/, delete the folder phoenix, then replace it by the folder that you saved on your desktop. Now Re-run the ----- of Phoenix 2004.
You can now run Phoenix 2006.
Step N° 4 – INSTALL THE CABLE
It is advisable to close the applications you don’t need during the flashing (like antivirus, anti-spy ware etc).
Connect your USB cable (DKU2 or another) to the PC, and connect your started phone.
Wait for Windows XP to install all the drivers (it’s better to not have unknown hardware devices), and then don’t touch your phone anymore because the cable doesn’t hang on very well and it might disconnect!
Now you have to execute these steps in phoenix:
File / Manage connection / New/ select USB / press Finish / Apply and Close.
Step N° 5 - FLASHING THE PHONE
- Put the firmware folder on your desktop. (e.g. RM36 for a Nokia 6680)
It should contain 2 files (this might vary depending on your phone model and download source):
One (MCU) with the .COR extension and the other one (PPM) with the .V30 extension.
- Do the following in phoenix: Flashing / sw update
You should see the name of the firmware folder (like RM36) on the top of the phoenix window. If you can see it, you’re on the good way.
- On the first line (Image File), browse for your file that ends by .COR .
- On the second line (PPM File), browse for your file that ends by .V30 .
Press START and don’t touch your phone anymore.
Wait for a message!
Phoenix will tell you to press the ON key of your phone and OK on the Phoenix software!
Firmware upgrade was done!
Notes:
for some phones, you don’t have to install phoenix 2006. The 2005 or 2004 might be enough:
Phoenix 2004 --- 6630 . . .
Phoenix 2005 --- N70 . . . 6680 . . . 6630
Phoenix 2006 --- N90 . . . N70 . . . 6680 . . . 6630 . . .
You will have the list of the supported models for each version, when you make “File / open product”.
The same procedure applies for Phoenix 2005, but you don’t have to re-run the ----- (if you have trouble with the phone’s drivers, you can install Nokia_Conn_Cable_Driver_159_ita.msi or even re-install Nokia PC Suite).
If you uninstall “Nokia connectivity” at the beginning, you can re-use Nokia PC Suite after that.
The reference of the language pack helps you to choose the language you want in your the phone (so you can pick a different version than the .V30).
The phones that are locked on an operator will remain so after the flashing. The unlock code provided by your operator will work whether you flash your phone in a Nokia original firmware version or not.
The number of FW files is depending on the phone model (6630 has 2 files / 6020 has 3 files / Communicator has 5 files). The ideal would be to have a flash .EXE (data package), allowing to know the order of the files due to the included “.INI”; but there’s not always the case (the minimum is to have one mcu and one ppm).
The order in the flashing procedure (see the JPG image)
Image file: \products\rh12_28_11005.500 (.3 chiffres)
PPM file: \products\ rh12_28_11005.50c (.2 chiffres + lettre)
Content file: \products\rh12_28_11005.50.ucp_c (.2 chiffres+ mot + lettre)
ADSP Flash : NONE (communicator)
APE Variant : NONE (communicator)
APE Userdisk: NONE (communicator)
For dead phones: File/ Open product, choose your phone model and then flash it (see attached PDF). If it doesn’t work, you can still flash your phone with a box, after have been doing a full-erase.
Software required:
1 - Diego (e.g.: 55667793_Diego_3_06.msi)
2 - Phoenix 2004 + ----- (e.g. : phoenix_service_sw_2004_39_7_70.EXE + 1------_dongle_phoenix_all_.EXE)
3 - Phoenix 2006 (e.g. : phoenix_service_sw_2006_12_5_136.rar)
