Tip 1: Do u know how to use the edit button (abc or pencil button)?
Here how… in the inbox for example; you want to 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 paste text in sms, simply hold it and scroll across, choose copy. Pretty good for placing song names in ngage.

Tip 2: Shit happens, on a smartphone, it’s inevitable u do something wrong, and this calls for a format of phone. To format the phone, press *#7370#, then enter the lock code, which is the sec code of the phone.
NOTE: battery must b full, else if format is disrupted by low battery, consequences will b disastrous
I heard the code *#7780# works too, pretty much the same I think.
For 6600 users, to format the phone, there’s an alternative way. Press and hold, and Call (Send) buttons, then power on phone, 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? Just 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 regularly 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 file manager 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 recipients 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 will relay a message back to your phone showing the time they received it. (Haven’t yet tried it myself though)
Tip 12: BlueJackingFirst 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 meters. So, we’ve got past the boring part. Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write a message, e.g. ‘Hello, you’ve been blue jacked’, 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 blue jacked’ 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 you need to make a new directory. fexplorer would let u copy that folder together. Well seleQ can mark files to copy but it really takes time!
