#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 inputting 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.

How to copy & paste text in your Nokia 3650:

Press and hold the pencil key and select your text using the scroll key.

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’.

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.

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” > Personalize > Warning tones > On/Off.

(This also effects the sound of Java games and apps).

To change background image go to:

Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Standby mode > Background image > Yes > “choose an image”.

The best size for background images is 174×132 pixels.

Only got blue, green and purple in your 3650 color palette?

This free app adds 3 more colors: Palette Extender.

Display an image when someone’s calling:

Menu > Contacts > “select a contact card” > Options > Edit > Options > Add thumbnail > “choose an image”.

Add a personal ringing tone to a contact:

Menu > Contacts > “select a contact card” > Options > Open > Options > Ringing tone > “choose a ringing tone”.

Delete all messages from your Inbox at once: Menu > Messaging > Inbox > Options > Mark/Unmark > Mark all > Options > Delete.

Send or hide your caller ID:

Go to: Menu > Tools > Settings > Call > Send My Caller ID > ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘Set By Network’ to follow the default settings of your home network.

If you often copy large files to your Multi Media 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 Dictionary on/off (predictive text input).

Press and hold “#” to switch between Alpha mode and Number mode.

Keyboard shortcuts for zooming and rotating images in Images:

1 = zoom in, 0 = zoom out, press and hold to return to the normal view.

2 = rotate anticlockwise, 9 = rotate clockwise, * = full screen.

In standby mode, press and hold the right soft key to activate voice dialing.

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):

Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Standby mode > Left/Right selection key > “select an application”.

In standby mode. press scroll key center (joystick) to go directly to Contacts.

In standby mode, press and hold 0 to launch your WAP home page.

In Menu or any subfolder, press numbers 1 – 9 to start the application at that location.

Tips & Tricks for Symbians:

Tip 1: Do u know how to use the edit button (abc or pencil button)?

Here how… in the inbox for example; u want a 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 smart phone, its inevitable u do something wrong, and this 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: battery must be full, else if format is disrupted by low batter, consequences will be disastrous 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 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 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

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 received 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 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, 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
