Tips & Tricks for Symbians!

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 be 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 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 be full, else if format is disrupted by low battery, consequences will be disastrous
I heard the code *#7780# works too, pretty much the same i think.

for s60 users, to format the phone, there's an alternative way. Press and hold <3>, <*> and Call (Send) buttons, then power on phone, keep holding on the 3 buttons, till u come to a format screen, 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 regularly checking the task manager which can be accessed by holding down the menu button!!

---> Set the screen saver to a short time out period to prolong battery life.

--->Avoid restarting the phone, or repeatedly turning it on and off. This helps increase battery life 

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 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 it will relay a message back to your phone showing the time they recieved it. (haven't yet tried it myself though)
