---------------------------------------------------------------------

Full phone formatting on a 6600!

If you encounter situation like below on your 6600,
1. Blank screen phone unable to reboot.
2. Phone only able to boot-up to "Nokia" word screen.
3. Install some program but not able to uninstall it after that.
4. Error messages such as "Child Installer" keeps popping-up.

Do a Full phone formatting on your 6600! as steps below,

1. Make sure you have at least 3/4 charge of battery power left.

2. Backup your contacts list and personal files to MMC memory card.

3. Switch-off your 6600 phone.

4. Press and hold 3 keys;

Green dial key, * (star key) & no. 3 key and then press the power on/off to swtich on the 6600 phone.

Remember, do not let go all of the keys and hold keys until you see a formatting word screen show!

5. After a few minutes when the Full phone formatting completed, your 6600 will back to original system and factory

settting.

All apps installed & not of the phones' default will be lost. If you did a backup on your mmc, you can restore it back to

the C drive again.

FExplorer Tips & Tricks
-----------------------------------------------------------

* How to reset the operator logo :
1) go to the following dir :
c:\system\apps\phone\oplogo
2) delete any file in this directory
3) restart the phone

* to make a screenshot on a Nokia 3650, 6600 :
1) use the pencil key + '0'

* to make a screenshot on a SX1 :
1) use the shift key + '0'

* remember, there are some shortcuts :
<KeyPad 1> : copy
<KeyPad 4> : cut
<KeyPad 7> : paste
<KeyPad *> : go to root
<KeyPad 3> : PageUp
<KeyPad 6> : top of the list
<KeyPad 9> : PageDown
<KeyPad #> : file properties

* 'send command' fails new firmware
with some new firmware, some users have reported that the 'send command' (thru bluetooth, IR, ...) fails; it's due to

a 'copyrigth protection' introduced in the new OS (!!!!), this happens only with some kind of files (eg: .SIS), in such

case, simply rename the file (eg: wtih .SIS_ ) before trying to send them.

Cant Uninstall Applications via Manager?
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

When you cant uninstall an application(most of the time Java games) using the Manager function of the phone, then

do this;

1. Install FExplorer.

2. Launch it and goto the path/folder of the Application. I'm assuming you have install it to the MMC so the path

would be something like,

E:\system\apps

and you will see lots of folders in there that is only labelled by numbers(for Java games/apps) or the name of the

application. Go though them one by one. Open the text file in that folder to exactly know the name of the application

in that particular folder if you dont see any icons or familiar name.

3. Then if its the correct folder, "move-out" of the folder, click on Options>File>Delete.

4. Then goto the Manager to uninstall it if its still listed.

5. Reboot.

Adding A New Infra Red Device To Tour PC
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I know IR is old skool but hey, it comes handy at times especially when BT acts-up on you. This one is written by a

good online buddy of mine, qtdemon666.

[quote]This procedure assumes that the infrared device is connected to a serial port on your computer. Use this

procedure only if Windows did not automatically install an infrared device when you turned on your computer.

Typically, Universal Serial Bus (USB), PCMCIA, and other Plug and Play-compliant infrared devices are automatically

detected and installed.

To add a new infrared device:
01. Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add Hardware.
02. The Add Hardware Wizard starts.
03. Click Next.
04. Click Yes, I have already connected the hardware, and then click Next.
05. In the Installed hardware list, click Add a new hardware device, and then click Next.
06. Click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced), and then click Next.
07. In the Common hardware types box, click Infrared devices, and then click Next.

Do one of the following:

01. If you do not have an installation disk for the infrared device, click the manufacturer of the device in the

Manufacturer list, click the infrared device that best matches your hardware in the Infrared Device list, and then click

Next.

02. If you have a manufacturer's installation disk for a compatible driver, click Have Disk. Insert the manufacturer's

installation disk into the appropriate drive, and then click Next.
Follow the instructions that are displayed on the remaining pages of the Add Hardware Wizard to install the infrared

device.


View the Properties of an Infrared Device
To use this procedure, there must be an infrared device installed on your computer. Note that the settings for the

infrared device are configured automatically when you install the device, and typically do not have to be changed. To

view the properties of an infrared device:

01. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Wireless Link.

02. Click the Hardware tab, click the infrared device for which you want to view properties, and then click Properties.


Configure a Serial Port for Infrared Communication
Your computer must support an infrared mode for a serial port. Use this procedure to install an IrDA transceiver that

is provided by the computer manufacturer. To configure a serial port for infrared communication:

01. Start the BIOS configuration utility for your computer. Note that the method for starting the BIOS configuration

utility varies from one computer to another. For many computers, you can start the BIOS configuration utility by

pressing a function key that is indicated during the computer startup process. Some computers require that you start

by using special configuration disks. For more information about how to enter BIOS Setup, see your computer

manufacturer's documentation.

02. In the peripheral or serial port configuration section, change the mode to IrDA or Infrared.


Troubleshooting
Installing an IrDA transceiver disables the serial port. Do not attach a serial IrDA transceiver to a serial port.

Downloading & Installing Java Files.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Java files can be a bit tricky at times. Most of the time, after you have downloaded and saved the java file on your pc,

windows tend to change the icon & extension of the file into a .zip.

And this will led to those not familiar with this issue to extract the file. Once that is done, you will see a lot of folders

and files. This is not the right way but ofcourse theres a way to get around this. Heres what you should do instead;

First, on your PCs, launch Windows Explorer and then select

Tools>Folder Options>View and "un-tick" the Hide extensions for known file type.

Now only can you see the full extension of a file and change the .zip into .jar and send it to your phone.

Repairing A Corruptted MMC.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Correct Treatment of your MMC:

Physically, memory cards are quite fragile pieces of high technology, susceptible to damage from various silly things

like excessive heat, condensation, strong magnetic fields, physical damage from rough handling and/or bending!

(similar to most electronic devices then..)

Given the natue of mobile memory card products, they are constantly being taken in and out of some form of

interface with a mobile phone, a camera, a laptop, or desktop PC, or a separate memory card reader. The number of

different devices they have to be able to interact with is in the thousands.

It is not too surprisingly, then that sometimes the state of the file system on the memory card can get damaged.

This may happen for a number of different reasons, including:


> removing the card from a device whilst an application is trying to read/write to it.. (Just be patient...)
> battery drain on a device whilst in use meaning an insufficent voltage failure whilst writing to the card.
> a poor implementation of the MMC standard on the device using the card
> poor connectivity software drivers on the device or the Windows PC/Mac
> physical damage like card or device being dropped, bent, getting wet etc...
> lots of others i am sure..


As often as not, the problem is not terminal for your memory card, but just a software issue ( or in physical terms, it

could be called "a temporary disalignment of the all the bits and bytes on the card").

The fix for this problem is the same as for any other file storage device (like a floppy or hard drive) with corrupt or

invalid file system, namely; re-format the file system.

Re-Formatting your MobyMemory MMC Card:

It is possible that your mobile will offer you the option of formatting the memory card if it is found to be invalid.

(However, the likes of Nokia nGage, Nokia 6600, and Siemens Sx1 often just prefer to reject the media as corrupted).

In that case, to format the card, you will need access to one or more of the following:


> A Windows PC or Mac.
> A separate multi-format memory card reader (verify that it is compatible with the MultiMediaCard -MMC- standard).
> (This can come in USB or PCMCIA flavours. If USB, try and ensutre it is a USB2 device.
> Alternatively, many of the newest laptop and desktop PCs now come with integrated Multi-format memory card

readers.
> If you are using a separate memory card reader, then connect it up to your PC, and let windows recgnize the

device through plug-and-play.


Now you can insert your MobyMemory card into the appropriate slot in the memory card reader. (Please note that

because the MMC card is pretty much symmetrical it is very easy to insert it upside-down in the slot).

Open up [Windows Explorer] (or the equivalent for MAC users..sorry not well-versed in OS X).

There should be at least one icon visible for a [Removable Drive] in the list of available drives. (in fact, there is often a

list of about 5 or 6 Removable drives, one for each of the different Memory card formats that your reader is

compatible with).

Find the drive that is mapped to the MMC card by clicking on each in turn until it confirms there is a drive present.

(Sometimes it is easiest to do this by trying a fully-functional MMC card in the MMC slot first so you can confirm which

drive letter it is.)

(NB. It will always be labelled as a [Removable Drive], don't mistake it for one of your PC hard drives like [C:] drive, as

that could be catastrophic later on!)

At this stage it may give an error message saying that the drive is unreadable.

By right-clicking on the drive letter, it will provide the option of formatting the drive.

Select format the drive, and the [Format Drive] dialog will appear (Double-check again to make sure it not your [C:]

drive!).

There is only one setting to focus on in this page, and that is to ensure that the FileSystem selected for formatting is

the [FAT] option (not FAT32, or NTFS or any other option)

(Note: All mobile phones, to my knowledge, and most cameras (etc..) use the FAT file system (or at least are

compatible with it) on their memory card media.)

Now click on Format Now ( ensure [Quick Format] is not selected as this will not actually restore the file system space

byte by byte, but only resets the header information so the drive thinks its empty again. This may not be enought to

solve your corruption problem.)

The PC will now - hopefully!- chug away happily until it has restored the memory card space back to its original

configuration (of course, any information on there is long gone by now!).

If you recieve an error message back from the [Format Now] request, then your problem may be more permanent,

and not just a software issue. In this case, it may still respond to a format request in a different memory card reader

or device.

If you believe it to be a failure of manufacture, then the warranty on the card offers the prospect of a replacement

card, subject to a confirmation of the fault upon return of the goods.

Increase Your MMC Space.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Your files in MMC are stored in multiple (disk) blocks.
So if you format using 16K block, the space used will be 16K eventhough your file is just 1K.

If you buy MMC, it is usually preformatted with 16K block. Therefore alot of space is wasted as most installed program

files are usually less than 2K.

You will need a card reader to do this:-

1. Connect card reader and copy all your files in the MMC to computer disk. (Make sure you set the show

all/hidden/os files to "on")

2. Do a format of the MMC using command line "format" and use the /A=size option.

Alternative, you can use the Disk Management in Adminstrative Tools to format. Make sure you select FAT. For 256MB

MMC, smallest block you can use is 4K, 128MB is 2K, 64Mb is 1K and 32MB is 512B.

(Note: You cannot use the phone "format MMC" to do this as the format just clear the allocation table and does not

change the block size)

3. Copy back all files to MMC.

Now you will find that you will have more space.
256mb MMC got back 30+ mbs





------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Knowing Files Extension
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

In downloads thread you can find diferent type of files (like you can find it over the web...)

.sis = Symbian installation file, just send it to your phone, and install.

.jar = Java installation, send file to your phone, and install.
Note about .jar files. You dont need to extract the .jar files into your PC, juest send them to your phone directly. By

the way, if you get a.zip (or other extension) and when extract its content you get lot of files and folders, files like

\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF, or *.class, it should be a .jar file... then, dont extract, just rename the main .zip to .jar.

and send to your phone.

.zip = The standard compressed file, you can use winzip to extract the content.. www.winzip.com

.ace = Other format of compressed file: www.winace.com

.rar = And the compressed format about everybody ask.. www.rarlabs.com

Note: Its always best to extract .zip, .ace & .rar files on your PC first as your phone can only most of the time.



------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Sending Files via BT & IR.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Where are the files that you send to your phone via IR or BT?

[b]There are in mail folder:

If you store your messages in phone memory, there are in c:\system\mail\...

If you store your messages in MMC, there are in e:\system\mail\...
Files in inbox are in folders like "*_F "

For example: E:\system\mail\00001001_S\0\00100c60_F\ (file)
or E:\system\mail\00001001_S\1\00100bc1_F\ (file)
or E:\system\mail\00001001_S\2\00100bc2_F\ (file)

Installing Ngage Games on 6600/7610/3650/3660.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------


Quote:
From aboutnokia.co.uk:

there are 2 types of ngage games. 1 is in .blz format, the other is a folder wif man other files and folders. im going to

talk about the .blz version 1st.
-------
.blz
-------
u need the .blz file, and blzinstaller.sis to install it.
1) install the blzinstaller.sis, into fone or mmc, doesn matter.
2) send the .blz file to ur fone. for tis example, im gonna use sonic.blz.
3) move the .blz to the root dir of e:, which is ur mmc. meaning, DUN place it in any folders, place it in e:, so it looks

like tis <e:/sonic.blz>
4) run blzinstaller to install, can take a while thou.

Note: if u send the .blz file to ur fone wifout using pc suite, it normally ends up in the inbox. For 6600 and 3650

users, space on c: is limited, so go to <messages>, <options>, <settings>, <other> set the mem in use to mmc.

and den, use a file explorer (example, fexplorer, seleq, etc), go to e:/system/mail/(1st folder), and find the .blz file, its

in one of the 16 folders labelled 0-9, a-f. den cut, paste to e: root dir.


there u go! .blz version!
---------------------------------------------------
now, for the folder type of ngage games...
---------------------------------------------------

sometimes, when u get a ngage game from irc, it doesnt come in .blz format, but in a folder named <system>. open

it, it shld be another folder name <app>. open it again, is a folder tts the game. for tis example, the folder name in

system/app tt u downloaded is <fifa>

for ngage users, simple as hell, paste fifa folder into e:/system/app folder of ur fone, using the supplies usb cable. if

u cant see the system folder when u plug the usb cable, change the folder settings to reveal all folders.

for 3650 and 6600 users, it will b a bit troublesome. u haf to move the files 1 by 1, into the exact place on ur mmc.

so, u haf to create a <fifa> folder on ur e:/system/app, den copy the files to the exact same location, 1 by 1.

occasionally, u get another folder wif the system folder when u download the game. u haf to replace the 2 lib files in

ur mmc. place them in e:/system/LIB. if theres no such folder, create one.

So thats about it!


Note: Want to do this? Go get a MMC reader. Its the easiest & quickest way to trasfer files.

Bluetooth Connection Guide Part 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

This is a "How To" for Connecting the Nokia Series 60 device (Nokia 7650, 6600, 3650, 3660 etc...) via Bluetooth TM

with the Windows Widcomm software used by TDK, Billington, MSI and others Bluetooth USB Vendors. The guide was

created with the 7650 hadset but the steps are similar for other Series 60 devices and have been checked with the

3650 and 6600.

1.Pairing the computer and the Series 60 Handset
Pairing is the process of swapping pass keys and setting up a trusted connection between the Bluetooth USB adapter

/ card connected to the PC and the 7650 handset. Save any files and close any applications you may have been

working on.

2. Set up Bluetooth TM on the 7650 by going to the Main Menu, selecting Connect and then Bluetooth.

3. Make sure the Bluetooth option is On and My Phone's Visibility is Shown to all. Remember what is in My Bluetooth

Name - or edit it to one of your choice - this is what your 7650 will be seen as by other Bluetooth TM devices.

4. Right Click on the Bluetooth Icon in the system tray, on the menu that appears go to Setup and then click on

Security.

5. A window appears and all being well the right hand pane will have your 7650 (titled what ever you have entered

into the phone's My Bluetooth Name entry). If nothing appears click Refresh and your phone should then appear.

Highlight the 7650 and click Execute Pairing.

6. A window will pop up asking for a PassKey. Enter in a numeric only passkey and click OK.

7. On the 7650 a screen pops up asking you to enter a passkey - key in the same number you just typed into the PC.

8. By default any connections from your PC to the 7650 must be manually accepted on the 7650. You have an option

to set up a connection from the PC to your 7650 as authorized, this means when you connect from the PC to the

phone it won't ask you if it's ok and will connect automatically.

9. To set it as automatic: On the 7650 in the Bluetooth TM Setting Screen, you joystick right to the Paired Devices

screen, highlight the Computer you just paired with and press Options, select Set as Authorized and Yes. You will

then see a padlock icon beside the paired device - this device will no longer require manual authorization for

connections to the 7650.

Now you should set My phone's visibility to Hidden - so that unknown devices searching won't see your phone. You

can still be connected to by any paired devices. Remember to switch it to Visible if you want to pair with a new device

or receive a file / business card from someone with an unpaired device.




------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Bluetooth Connection Guide Part 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Manually make a serial connection to the Series 60 Handset to get the mRouter connection started:

1. To get a connection working you need one last step - you need to connect to the 7650's Bluetooh Serial port from

the PC.

2.Right Click on the Bluetooth TM Icon in the system tray, on the menu that appears go to Services and then click on

Bluetooth TM Serial Port. Select Find Devices from the sub menu. (A shortcut to this connection will be created so

next time you will have the 7650 listed in Bluetooh Serial Port submenu to save the next step).

3. Select the 7650 from list and click Connect.

4. A window will appear telling you the connection is starting.

5. If you have not set the 7650 to automatically authorize a connection from this computer be ready to accept the

connection request on the phone. If you have set it to automatically authorize then you won't be asked.

6. You should also see the Bluetooth icon on the 7650 start to flash showing a connection take place. Then you may

get an error on the PC saying it can't connect and/or a message saying there is a Connection on COM0 (you can

check the box to stop this appearing again), you can just ignore these message(s) for a minute. (Click OK once the

mRouter connection is made described below.)

A couple of seconds later the mRouter icon in the tray shows a connection in starting and then a connection being

made. You can see also the active connection in the mRouter Connection Properties. The PC Suite application should

then be ready for use.

Some Handy Tips.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Tips / undocumented functions:

- At the top of the main-menu and every folder, the keys 1 to 9 are shortcuts to the icons 1-9

- A shortcut on the left menukey in standby-mode will take more time to open than a shortcut on the right menukey.

Reason: The left key is also used for the keylock so it shortly waits for pressing the * button.

- While writing text press and hold "#" to switch between Alpha mode and Number mode. You can also press a key

long to insert its number.

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

- 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.

- To keep the backlight on, run Torch (freeware), press and hold the Menu button and go somewhere else on the

phone.

- To check your current firmware version simply type *#0000# in standby screen.

- To check your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) type *#06# in standby screen.

- To check your Bluetooth device address type *#2820# in standby screen.

- Start up in Safe Mode (no 'auto start' apps will be running): Hold down the pencil key when you turn on the phone

and hold it on until you have to enter your PIN code.

- Format the phone memory by typing *#7370# in standby screen.

- In standby mode,
45# + <talk> dials the number on your sim in memory slot 45.
50# + <talk> dials slot 50 and so on.




------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Regarding Log Times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Found on another forum:

Quote:
When I set the GMT offset time in clock of 6600 to +530 then all my call log shows half hour prior to the actual time

logged, and if it is -530 then log shows after half hour of actual time and if the same is set at +500 or -500 then the

call log shows correct time of the call logged. But further I am not able to set the offset to + or - 500 as Psiloc world

clock pro changes the timing to exactly +530 indian timing. Does anyone has a solution?

The log timings depends on the time set in your mobile clock. If you change the timing and make a call the log shows

the changed time only. My previous post meant if th clock offset minutes is "00" and any hour, then log timings is

accurate to the time set on clock. But opening World clock pro changes it automatically to +530 as the home location

is india. and as the minutes offset changes to "30" the log time varies. If I dont use World clock pro nothing changes.

Operator Logos Explained.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

The operator logo is the picture on top of your phone screen, in most cases is the name of your operator.

How to change it for a nice picture? You can do this by diferent ways:

First create this folder if you dont have it:

C:\System\Apps\Phone\Oplogo\

The operator logo will be stored on it...)

You can use FExplorer (any jpeg/bmp, no resize), seleQ (any image, it will resize it) --> select the image you want be

operator logo, select options-file-set as operator logo.

You can make your own logo:

The operator logos have the following format:

COUNTRYCODE_NETWORKCODE_SUBNETCODE.BMP

For example, for Spain:

Amena: 214 03 -> 214_3_0.BMP
Movistar: 214 07 -> 214_7_0.BMP
Vodafone: 214 01 -> 214_1_0.BMP

In the PHILIPPINES:
Smart: 515 01
Globe: 515 02

The size for bmp is 97 x 25 pixels.

Also, you can store diferent logos for diferent operators. For example if you change your SIM to other operator, you

will see the other logo, or if you travel to other countries, you can store diferent logos for the operators in this

countries.

You have a list of country codes and network codes here , just ignore the first "0" in network code if any.

If you want to delete the logo to restore the original (name of the operator) just delete the bmp file from

c:\system\apps\phone\oplogo.

Phone Hangs on Start-up?
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Quote:
We sometimes hear from users of Series 60 handset users stating that they've filled up their memory, and the

memory is so full that they can't get in to delete any files.

We've not had any experience of this, but the best thing to try is to restart the phone (by taking the battery out)

when it "hangs" and then starting the phone in "safe mode". This causes the phone to load as few apps as possible

at startup. To do this, hold down the ABC key, and while holding it down, start up the phone. Hopefully you will then

be able to transfer files from your C drive to your MMC to free up the memory.

As a very last resort, you can format the phone and start again - 1st post in this FAQ section - This will remove all

data, and you'll have to restore your phone's information from a backup which you may have made on your MMC or

via PC Suite.

If you still can't get into the phone, the final option appears to to be to take the phone to the nearest Club Nokia shop

(or your retailer), who should be able to re-flash the phone to factory settings.

Installing applications/games (.sis/.jar files) on Ngage
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Quote:
Heres how:

1. Plug in the USB cable.

2. Go to my computer, find the drive showing removable hard disk, which is your Ngage. Open it. There should b

many folders in there, videos, system, etc...

3. Now, move the .sis file you want in there, not in any folders, so it looks like this
---> e:/xxx.sis and NOT e:/system/xxx.sis (not in any folders).

4. Then, unplug the USB cable, wait a while, the go to Manager, which is in tools ---> manager, then find the

application there, and install it!

Installing java games(.jar files) using the usb cable :

1. Install a file explorer like FExplorer (freeware), then place the .jar file anywhere u want.

2. Then go into the file explorer, look for the .jar file, click on it and install!

Use BT for an internet connection (6600)
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Well its not as easy as you think. And after learning the way Symbian works for nearly a year now, I still havent

figured this one out.

Anyways, heres a link where everything is explained.

http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/mraento/symbian/bt-ap.html

The very best of luck for all, but a word of warning, if you got lost just by reading it, then please dont attempt it. I

WILL NOT be able to provide any help about it.



------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Internet on your phone using bluetooth.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Ok I found this other guide which is more easy for newbies to follow. I ahvent checked it on my 6600. Will do the

testing soon. Those of you on N-gage & 3650 please try too and post a new topic outside this FAQ section about how

it is.

Quote:
By tzeonn:

this will work on most s60 phone I guess! it has been tested on an NGAGE and on N3650!

step 1:
Creating an access point on your phone!

tools\settings\connection\access points\options\new access point>default settings...

these are the settings u need there..

Connection Name : Anything (sugestion ADLS or PCGPRS something u remember well cuz u'll need it later!)

Data Bearer: GPRS

Access Point Name: The name you gave to your bt connection when pairing up with the computer...

Username : None

Password : No

Authentication : Normal

Gateway IP Address : 0.0.0.0

and that's all on this on this part..

then go to:

tools/settings/connection, and select GPRS

set the GPRS connection to "when available", and the access point to "none".

The settings on your fone are done! now... the next step;


Create a serial port connection from ur pc to ur phone (u've done this before if u ever used Pcsuite from nokia), this

serial connection must be on everytime you want to use your pc internet connection as a gprs connection for ur

phone!!


Install the software u need to surf the web (opera, netfront, agile messenger for chat, etc..)

My advise to you is to use netfront, the options are pretty cool and it uses less memory meaning u can still run other

program such as agile at the same time (it crashed my 3650 when I tried to do it with opera)..

Voilá ur ready to use ur phone to surf and chat for free!!

hope this helped you and that is simple and clear!! any question u know where to post, this will be updated if many

doubts come up.

ps. works with ngage arena games!!!

Enjoy!

I guess I'm gonna share a lil bit of a 'darktip' with you all. Let it be known now that I download my favourite

midi (poly) tones from www.phunkyphones.net. They have thousands of songs. Its not really free but somehow the

technicality or rather untechnicality of their website lets you save the tones to your PC.

As you goto the Polyphonic section, you will be able to listen to the tunes by clicking on the Play icon as you cant

right-click on that page. Now for me when I click on the icon, the usual download window pop-up giving me the

option either to Open or Save the file. If you were presented this option, you're a lucky boy/girl cos you can save it to

your PC and then send it via IR or BT to your phone. As for those who has those download managers, I think some of

them might pop-up that download box too.

Now some of you might, when you click on the icon, experience the browser launching another page and playing the

midi file maybe using your Quicktime. If you are lucky, you can right-click on that Quixktime player and save the file.

Others maybe played automatically by Windows Media Player or Winamp or whatever your default sound player is.

Now the trick is to check the settings of those players and make sure that it is not assigned to play any midi file. This

disabbling tip sometimes work and sometimes not, for reasons I'm not sure off.

And lastly if you didnt get those two steps to work, theres always this option, a bit of a pain but still worth it if you

really want that ringtone. You see when you click on the icon and the file plays on your default player, it has actually

been downloaded to your cache or you temperory internet folder. So all you gotta remember is the Ref: poly5432

number. So after playing all those tunes you want, goto the Search function on your PC and search either for all .mid

extensions on your PC or the particular number of the midi e.g. 5432.

Some sites has the file on mp3 format which I guess is even better quality for your phone, just take note of the name

or code of the file. So remember, if it plays, theres a good chance its in your Temperory Internet folder. You can

always browse for it by going to your;

Internet Explorer>Tools>Internet Option>General tab>Temperory Internet Files>Settings>View Files.

You should be able to see all the files sorted nicely, images, cookies, etc.,

So there it is, another guide on how to obtain ringtones form paid sites. So simple right? Now go get that BT dongle!



---------------------------------------------------------------------
Send .sis, .jar & .mid file with ease!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I have found one File Explorer which lets you send any files, yes .mid, .jar & .sis included without any need to

rename them first. I am on the new firmware now and yesterday I tried sending a .mid file to my friends' 6230, it

works like a charm! It has the prettiest interface too!

This ProfiExplorer comes with ProfiMail (you can find it in the Programs section)which is
Quote:
"a powerful e-mail client for mobile devices. It allows you to read your mail on go, and send text with attachments

directly from your device." The explorer is a standalone application and is a freeware. The Profimail is a shareware

though but eventhough you do not register it, the file explorer will still run."
But at Allve.com you get it cracked. So have fun.


To retrieve password from fone:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Open file explorer. (SeleQ, FExplore, AppMan, whateva')
search for MMCSTORE
when you find it, send it to yer PC
on PC, open the file with Notepad, or any word processor
there goes your password .

Nokia Codes
Fromatiranje 3650 i 6600

Try This also

Suppose there are some applications you mostly use and want them to open fast. Let's suppose Calender, Log, ToDo, Notes, Gallery, contacts

1) Open Calender and then instead of Pressing exit press the red button to come out. Then do the same for Log, ToDo, Notes, Gallery and Contacts

2) Now try to open any of these again. I am sure these will open at a much much faster speed.

3) The Catch is that never close the application that you want to open fast with the exit button. Instead, close it with the red button.

4) You dont even have to go inside the menu to open these application. Long press the Menu Button and you can select which of these applications you want to open.

Please appreciate if its a good tip

Thanks

Ovo je takva glupost da je to cudo...

Sve je to krasno, ali ti uzima puno memorije, stoga uvijek gasite aplikacije.

Korisno svaka cast!!

FExplorer Tips & Tricks


* How to reset the operator logo :
1) go to the following dir :
c:\system\apps\phone\oplogo
2) delete any file in this directory
3) restart the phone

* to make a screenshot on a Nokia 3650, 6600 :
1) use the pencil key + '0'

* to make a screenshot on a SX1 :
1) use the shift key + '0'

* remember, there are some shortcuts :
<KeyPad 1> : copy
<KeyPad 4> : cut
<KeyPad 7> : paste
<KeyPad *> : go to root
<KeyPad 3> : PageUp
<KeyPad 6> : top of the list
<KeyPad 9> : PageDown
<KeyPad #> : file properties

* 'send command' fails new firmware
with some new firmware, some users have reported that the 'send command' (thru bluetooth, IR, ...) fails; it's due to a 'copyrigth protection' introduced in the new OS (!!!!), this happens only with some kind of files (eg: .SIS), in such case, simply rename the file (eg: wtih .SIS_ ) before trying to send them.

You can fix the app close main error..

Shinobi's 'App. Closed Main' Tutorial
1) Open your filemanager/explorer
2) Go to c:/system/bootdata & delete FirstBoot.dat
3) Turn off phone & take out your MMC card
4) Turn on phone and put in current time/date
5) Wait for it to boot up then turn off phone again.
6) Put MMC back in and turn on phone.

This fixes the "App. Closed Main" error.

I FOUND THE CURE !!! TRUST ME THIS WORKS!

If you ever get the "App. Closed Main" error when you bootup, this will fix it.
Using your file explorer go to e:\system\programs
You will see some various files in there - but we are just gonna concentrate on the .exe files.
One or (some) of them are giving the error when you bootup.
Click them one by one and if it gives you an error, just delete it.
You can do this if you get any other error during bootup aswell.
This method surely gets rid of the boot up errors.

Sticky anyone?


Sometimes this is a problem, when you have deleted an application and its scattered remnants have been left in the memory either of your phone or on MMC card. When the phone boots up, of course it searches for the ‘badly’ removed application(s). Another solution for avoiding such message as ‘App. Closed Main’ at all, is to use UnMakeSis software when you are removing application(s) from your phone. I usually open *.sis file on my PC with UnMakeSis to see which files to which folders are copied during the install process. When I remove application(s) from my phone, I also open *.sis file of a removed application using UnMakeSis and see which files might have been left during the removal process in the memory. Then I remove those remnants manually. Hope this also might help

Treba da znate nekoliko sitnica:


Safe Mode: (slicno kao kod PC-ja)
################################################## ####################
cemu sluzi? Ako imate neki problem, recimo pojavi vam se "system
error" ili nesto slicno. Znaci mozete da ukljucite telefon ali ne
mozete da ga koristite. Najverovatnije je doslo do konflikta izmedju
neceg sto ste instalirali; ili ste nesto obrisali sto niste smeli;
Kako se ulazi u "Safe Mode"?
Drzite pritisnut taster "olovka" sve dok se ne kompletno ne "podigne"
sistem telefona. Onda mozete normalno da udjete i deinstalirate
problematicne programe, ili eventualno formatirate telefon ili mmc...
(u slucaju da vam deinstalacija ne resi problem)... Probajte prvo da
ukljucite telefon bez mmc, pa ako radi normalno-znaci nesto ste
zeznuli na mmc. Ako deinstalacija ne resi problem formatirajte mmc,
pre toga naravno izvrsite bekap ako ste u mogucnosti; Ako ni
formatiranje mmc ne resi problem onda-formatirajte i telefon.
################################################## ####################


Kako formatirati mmc?
################################################## #####################
Nista lakse, Extras->Memory->Options->format mem. card
Naravno, prvo udjite u safe mode.
Formatiranje mmc traje barem koji minut, pa zato nemojte da pokusavate da
je formatirate ako vam je baterija pri kraju. Za svaki slucaj
stavite telefon na punjac.
Ako se formatiranje zavrsi za koju sekundu (i kaze vam da je mmc
formatirana onda ili niste usli u safe mode ili vam je kartica
ostecena tako da moze da vam pomogne samo formatiranje u card readeru,
foto aparatu...a telefon ne moze da vam odradi posao...
################################################## #####################


Kako formatirati telefon?
################################################## ####################
Na vise nacina, a najlakse je taj sto cete da ukucate
*7370#
pa onda kada vam trazi ubacite siguronosni kod (ako nista niste
menjali= 12345)
Isto treba da cekate koji minut.
Ovde je jos bitnije da vam baterija bude puna. Jer ako vam otkaze
baterija u toku formatiranja - ni u NOKIA servisu vam ne mogu pomoci...
(mozda i mogu, ali ja ne bih proveravao)

Ovo se u stvari zove "hardverski reset", jer kada formatirate telefon
on posle ponovo ucita iz ROM memorije operativni sistem, tako da je
kako nov...
################################################## ####################


Flight mode
################################################## ####################
Prvenstveno, namenjen (kao sto ime kaze) koriscenju u avionu; izvadite
sim karticu i koristite samo funkcije racunara bez telefona;
Mozete ga koristiti i za igranje igrica koje trose dosta memorije...
Da, naravno na ovaj nacin mozete da igrate i igre (krekovane) za
n-gage. Kod mene radi Sonic, a neki kazu da kod njih radi i Tomb...

Do flight moda dolazite pomocu programa System Tools
################################################## ######################

Jos jedna bitna stvar, NEMOJTE DA VADITE BATERIJU AKO VAM SE BLOKIRA
TELEFON (zbog nedostatka memorije, kada igrate recimo java igrice, a niste
u flight modu), nikako ne skidajte bateruju vec sacekajte koji minut i telefon ce sam da se restartuje. mozete da probate da ga iskljucite tasterom za
uljucivanje-gasenje. Pre toga naravno pokusajte da zatvorite (close)
doticnu igricu(programom Taskman) ili da je ubijete (kill task) ako prvo
ne pomaze...
U suprotnom moze da vas strefi "start up failed. contact the retail",
propust koji su resili tek verzijom firmware-a 4.13 koja je izasla pre mesec dana.

NAPOMENA: 90% textova koje postavim ovde je obicni copy/paste fazon i nije isprobano,znaci niko ne garantuje da ce sve ovo raditi sto pise!!!

It may happens that a program corrupts the C: drive of your phone. In such case, some data can be lost of course but, more annoying, some applications may not work or work only partially,...

On a Series 60 based phone, two key sequences will allow to restore your phone to a cleaner state:

Normal Reset (*#7780#) : Restores ini files from rom but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc)

Deep Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.

In both case, the phone will ask you a confirmation and you will have to enter a security code (12345 by default).

Files and applications stored on E: drive are not be affected by these sequences.

When typing name in phone book you can use * or ? instead of one character (anywhere) i.e.:
-----------------------------------------------------------
mar*y=marry, marty, margy....
mar?y=marry, marty, margy....
*arry=marry, garry, larry....
*arry=marry, garry, larry....
*=? one character only?

Onda probaj preimenovati u npr. Ringtone.midi i radit će.
Zadnje verzije softa imaju zaštitu za .sis .mid .jar .png datoteke,ostalo još nisam našao koji su.

Hvala, ali ni to mi ne radi... Izgleda da ce morati na servis...

instaliraj program MMSit na mob i probaj s njim slati

Obriši potpuno ekstenziju i dodaj je u drugom telefonu, meni je tako uspjevalo, sem sa rom drives - pod "z" u file explorer-u.

Your files in MMC are stored in multiple (disk) blocks.
So if you format using 16K block, the space used will be 16K eventhough your file is just 1K.

If you buy MMC, it is usually preformatted with 16K block. Therefore alot of space is wasted as most installed program files are usually less than 2K.

You will need a card reader to do this:-

1. Connect card reader and copy all your files in the MMC to computer disk. (Make sure you set the show all/hidden/os files to "on")

2. Do a format of the MMC using command line "format" and use the /A=size option.

Alternative, you can use the Disk Management in Adminstrative Tools to format. Make sure you select FAT. For 256MB MMC, smallest block you can use is 4K, 128MB is 2K, 64Mb is 1K and 32MB is 512B.

(Note: You cannot use the phone "format MMC" to do this as the format just clear the allocation table and does not change the block size)

3. Copy back all files to MMC.

Now you will find that you will have more space.
256mb MMC got back 30+ mbs

If you ever get the "App. Closed Main" error when you bootup, this will fix it.

Using your file explorer go to e:\system\programs
You will see some various files in there - but we are just gonna concentrate on the .exe files.
One or (some) of them are giving the error when you bootup.
Click them one by one and if it gives you an error, just delete it.
You can do this if you get any other error during bootup aswell.


App Close Main error.. (drugi nacin):

1) Open your filemanager/explorer
2) Go to c:/system/bootdata &amp; delete FirstBoot.dat
3) Turn off phone &amp; take out your MMC card
4) Turn on phone and put in current time/date
5) Wait for it to boot up then turn off phone again.
6) Put MMC back in and turn on phone.

This will work on most s60 phone I guess! it has been tested on an NGAGE and on N3650!

step 1:
Creating an access point on your phone!

tools\settings\connection\access points\options\new access point>default settings...

these are the settings u need there..

Connection Name : Anything (sugestion ADLS or PCGPRS something u remember well cuz u'll need it later!)

Data Bearer: GPRS

Access Point Name: The name you gave to your bt connection when pairing up with the computer...

Username : None

Password : No

Authentication : Normal

Gateway IP Address : 0.0.0.0

and that's all on this on this part..

then go to:

tools/settings/connection, and select GPRS

set the GPRS connection to "when available", and the access point to "none".

The settings on your fone are done! now... the next step;


Create a serial port connection from ur pc to ur phone (u've done this before if u ever used Pcsuite from nokia), this serial connection must be on everytime you want to use your pc internet connection as a gprs connection for ur phone!!


Install the software u need to surf the web (opera, netfront, agile messenger for chat, etc..)

My advise to you is to use netfront, the options are pretty cool and it uses less memory meaning u can still run other program such as agile at the same time (it crashed my 3650 when I tried to do it with opera)..

Voilá ur ready to use ur phone to surf and chat for free!!

hope this helped you and that is simple and clear!! any question u know where to post, this will be updated if many doubts come up.

PS : Well I have found out that the 6600 cannot use the connection above. I have read in another forum someone saying that the mRouter connection for 6600 & 7160 has been disabled by Nokia!

The connection above can only work on Symbian v6.0 phones, which is 3650, 3660 7650 & N-gage. Phones like 6600 & 7610 is on Symbian v6.1 and can only used the connection which is posted just before this post

When you cant delete a file which is in your inbox the normal way, here is what you can do;

1. Install FExplorer.

2. Launch it and goto the path/folder of your message inbox. If its on the C drive, it would be C:\system\Mail\00001001_S and the same if its on the E.

3. You will notice there are more folders, 0 to9 and a to f. Just go look into all those folders and you should be able to find the file that you wanna delete.

4. Once found, click on Options>File>Delete.

5. Exit FExplorer &amp; goto your Inbox to delete the file again.

If you ever come to a point when you need to hard format your phone or maybe upgrade to a new firmware, I'm sure definately would like to save the current settings of your phone. So this is what you should do;

How to backup phone settings to MMC.

Menu>Extras>Memory>Options>Backup phone mem.


Once the formatting or upgrading is done, you can then restore back the settings by doing;

Restoring settings after phone format.

Menu>Extras>Memory>Options>Restore from card

Nažalost sav naš trud nebi bio dovoljan jer ako neznaš engleski sve ali SVE bi ti morali prevoditi a za symbian ima stvarno-stvarno puno!!
Par osnovni informacija može se i pokupiti čitanjem postova u Symbian Nokia!
Pa ako ti poslije toga nešto treba pojasniti samo pitaj!!
