delete the marked sms. The edit button can also b used to copy and past

Tip 2
: ….happens, on a smartphone, its inevitableyoudo 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 the buttons, then
power on fone, keep holding on the 3 buttons, tillyoucome 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; Didyouknowyoucan
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 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
Tip 15
u can select all files in a folder by selecting THE folder and copy it
then paste it somewhere. howeveryouneed to make a new directory.
fexplorer wun letyoucopy that folder together. well seleQ can mark
files to copy but it really takes time!
Tip
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.
Tip 17:
Formats of images
supported ones: JPG UPF GIF87a/89a WBMB MBM TIFF/F PNG EXIF
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’.
Trick: 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.
Trick: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).
Trick: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.
Trick:Display
an image when someone’s calling:
Menu > Contacts > “select a contact
card” > Options > Edit > Options
> Add thumbnail > “choose an image”.
Trick:Add
a personal ringing tone to a contact:
Menu > Contacts > “select a contact
card” > Options > Open > Options
> Ringing tone > “choose a ringing
tone”.
Trick:Delete
all messages from your Inbox at once:
Menu > Messaging > Inbox > Options >
Mark/Unmark > Mark all > Options > Delete.
Trick: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 MultiMedia Card, I recommend a
card reader.
E.g. With a card reader it takes only 12 seconds to copy a 10 MB file!
Trick: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.
