>>> Method 1: Flight mode:
Put your phone in “Flight mode” with Psiloc System Tools. Install System Tools, open it and select “Flight mode”. This way you can restart the phone without your SIM card so there will be no running phone tasks in the background. Now you can have up to 3,5 MB of free RAM!

Note: ironically enough, Flight mode doesn’t work when Smart Launcher is installed, at least in my case.
But i’ve also heard several reports of people who have both apps running without any problems.

>>> Method 2: Smart Launcher trick:
Install Smart Launcher and open it. Go to Options, Settings and put Launcher ON.
Now plug in your charger and switch off your phone. Wait untill the battery meter appears and short press the Menu button (don’t hold).
The menu should appear and now you can have 3,5 to 4,5 MB free RAM! (Hold Menu button to check RAM).

The trick is that with the charger plugged in, the phone must get a minimum software support for charging, even when
the phone is switched off. And somehow Smart Launcher has still got it’s shortcut running and that’s the Menu button. So when
you press the Menu button, you go directly to the Menu without any other phone tasks running in the background so
you trick the phone and you have more free RAM!
Note: when you unplug the charger, the phone will switch off.

>>> Method 3: Menu :
This method I found it by myself, it frees a little about 100~200 KB but I guess it’s useful sometime

Close your menu not by selecting the right selection key “exit”, or pressing the menu key another time, they only hide the menu app but do not close it, to close it select the left selection key “option” and scroll down and select “exit”

So when you open an app needs more ram reopen menu and close it, it’s useful when play low bit rate video in realplayer paradis.

Tips & Tricks for Symbians! Wink Wink Wink Grin Grin Grin

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 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
smartphone, its inevitable u do 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, 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 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 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 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
#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
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.

Why assigning Video Recorder in the right or left soft key does not work?

(Sound Recorder is launched instead of Video Recorder)
It’s a bug with firmware version 2.50.

How to check your firmware version:

A “Firmware” is the phone’s operating system stored in internal Flash memory of the device (disk Z.
Manufacturers release new firmware versions containing bug fixes, improvements and - sometimes - offering new functions.
Firmware upgrade can only be made in authorized Nokia service centre (point).
To check your current firmware version simply type *#0000# on main Phone screen.

?

How to check your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)?

Type *#06# on main Phone screen.

Start up in Safe Mode so no ‘auto start’ apps will be running:

To make sure that no memory-resident programs start when you reboot your phone,
hold down the pencil key when you turn on the phone and hold it on untill you have to enter your PIN code.
(When you have trouble booting up the phone with the MMC in it because it got corrupted for some reason, this trick will
almost always let you boot up the phone so you can remove the latest installed app which might have caused the
problem or if your phone is “unrepairable” you can still back up your important data before you do a format.)

Q: How to totally format your Nokia 3650 and remove all installed applications, user files and restore all
settings to default like it’s new out of the box? (OEM apps won’t be deleted like Camera and RealOne Player).

A: First Format your MMC: Menu > Extras > Memory > Options > Format mem. card > Yes.
Note: It is very important to format your MMC before you format your phone!
Then format your phone by typing *#7370# on main Phone screen.
Phone
will ask: “Restore all original phone settings? Phone will restart.”
Press ‘Yes’ and enter your Lock code (default is 12345).
Tip: Formatting takes several minutes so you’d better connect your Nokia 3650
to a charger to ensure that your battery doesn’t get empty in the middle of formatting.
Note:
All your created acces points and mailboxes will be lost so take a note
of them. And all application settings will be reset.
E.g. In Camera, image quality is set back to normal and memory in use is set back to phone memory. And also in Messages,
memory in use is set back to phone memory, etc. Also backup your contacts with PC Suite or a program like Contacts Manager.

To reset your wallet, should you forget your code,
Type in:
*#7370925538#
this will reset the wallet code, the wallet contents will be deleted.

Stay tuned as i will be posting more tips & tricks about sony ericsson phones specific to various new models available with sony erricsson.

Walkman phones are already huge hit worldwide and we have seen many models of Walkman phones in different category and price range. Till now, the Walkman models were placed in the higher segment with price > 10000/- Rs, although there was w300i in lesser range, but it was not a major hit. Sony Ericsson has introduced the new model to bridge the gap between these segments, the new W200i.

The model comes in two colors – Pulse White and Rhythm Black with dimensions of 101×44×18 mm and weighs 85 g. From the exterior, the phone looks good with average build quality. It has a Walkman button on the top left hand corner for playing music, like any other phone in the Walkman series. Below this is the slot for memory card, a 128 MB card is shipped along with the phone and those who need more memory, there is provision to accommodate cards upto 1 GB.

The screen has a resolution of 128×160 pixels and supports 65k colors, which is lesser than the other Walkman models. The keypad is good and offers good back light in the dark. One disappointing thing in this model is the Joystick, which is little bit on the harder side.

Other common features include;

* 1000 entry phone book with each entry having 5 options.
* SMS, MMS and Email features.
* PhotoDJ and MusicDJ for editing photos and music files.
* Sound Recorder.
* Organizer, Alarm clock and WAP.

The phone has an in-build camera, with resolution 640×480 pixels and 4x zoom feature (VGA cam), plus an ability to record small video clips (in 3gp with a resolution of up to 176×144 pixels). The camera is just average considering the fact that other Walkman series have 2MP cams. The quality is also average.

It also has an in-build media player similar to the ones available in other Walkman series. It also has a radio. Now coming to connectivity, there is no IR and Bluetooth available in this model. This is really surprising for the fact that many of the users now prefers to use bluetooth headsets. This is most crucial let down for this model

The package includes;

* Handset
* Li-Ion 750 mAh battery
* Charger
* User Guide
* CD with software
* M2 memory card (128 Mb)
* USB data cable
* Stereo-headset HPM-64

Verdict: Performance wise, this model is good and the only let down is the lack of Bluetooth module. Priced at Rs 7300/-, this is a good offering from Sony Ericsson to capture the lower end market. This model is definitely worth the money and also there is no competition to this model in this range, but purchase this only if you cant afford a better Walkman phone.

Rating: 3.5/5

NB: 1 USD= Rs 41/-

Everyone would love to access free airtel gprs and getting free airtel gprs is now made easy by teashark, a mobile internet browser which is also available as a free download just like opera mini. Whats most amazing is the fact that the working of this browser which enables it to provide free airtel gprs access without even changing any of the airtel gprs settings is still unknown. I have been trying to figure out how it works and will get back to you shortly with its working. Till then you guys enjoy surfing free airtel gprs.

To get this gem working, you first need to download this. The file can be easily downloaded from the following link: http://www.teashark.com/download.html. The downloaded file is an executable jar file which can be easily installed on any java enabled phone. The next thing you need to do to take you one step closer to free airtel gprs on your mobile phone is selecting the access point as airtel live from the teashark mobile browser. Once you are done with the above settings you are now ready to enjoy free access to airtel gprs. Don’t hesitate, just start browsing with the free teashark browser, you won’t be charged a single penny.

In this paragraph I will try to inform you about all the installation hurdles which may come in your way to free airtel gprs on your mobile phone. The first and the foremost thing you need to take care of is to ensure that you have got airtel live activated on your phone for which you have to call the customer care and it is free of cost. Only then you should select airtel live as the access point. Another problem which you may encounter is that your phone may show white screen, if it happens then restart your phone. If it continues to happen you should better reinstall teashark and click on the yes option in case your phone asks you to clear previous data or overwrite previous data. You can also try keeping the jar and the jad files in your phone as this solution has helped some people.

If you guys cannot get teashark working then the other way around to get free airtel gprs access is by downloading teashark from this link: http://mosh.nokia.mobi/content/422B3629768A1249E040050A453005BC. I guess this is another version of teashark which gets installed without any problem and you can access free airtel gprs. Another solution to the fuzz is that you can also try to upgrade the nokia phone’s software, just take it to the nokia centre and get the software reinstalled, its free too I guess. What actually happens is that this will change your default configuration settings, then request new settings from airtel and try with the installation procedure of teashark again.

Teashark however allows you to browse free but it does not allow free downloads. You will be charged usually for the downloads as the downloads are done through the phone’s browser and not through teashark. In some cases getting it to work may take upto 2 days and more than 50 tries. Moral of the story is getting the free airtel gprs on your phone is not easy infact getting anything free is not easy at all, so don’t lose heart and keep trying until you succeed.

Resco Photo Viewer is designed especially for phones other than nokia N series for viewing photographs and editing them. The inbuilt photo viewer of nokia N series mobile phones is way better to be replaced by Resco Photo Viewer but the only advantage is gives is that its functionality is very fast as compared to the default built in picture viewer. in case you own E series phones or other phones then Resco Photo Viewer might prove to be a better option than the default picture viewer application.

Features of Resco Photo Viewer:
1. Resco Photo Viewer is astonishingly 8 times as fast as the default in built picture viewing application.
2. With Resco Photo Viewer you can view the images in the thumbnails of 14 and 44 along with a list view which definitely shows more information about the image.

3. You can also browse through your media gallery with the “display hidden files” option also so that you do not have to enable the hidden files separately.
4. Resco Photo Viewer also provides a huge number of keypad shortcuts which certainly will require a little time to learn.
5. The addon feature in Resco Photo Viewer is that you can directly jump to google maps from the geotagged information in the image options.
Resco Photo Viewer is a really tough application to find fault into so this application is highly recommended for atleast series E nokia phones. But you need to remember that Resco Photo Viewer is a photo viewer only and it won’t provide viewing options for video files.

Supported phones: nokia S60 and S60 3rd edition phones.

Anyone may have to transfer the contacts from one phone to another phone, if your old phone is malfunctioning or in a case when you may want to change the mobile phone model.

Latter is the case is with me as I want to change my mobile phone from Nokia 6600 to Nokia 5310. So ,now for transferring the contacts from nokia 6600 to nokia 5310 I searched almost every method and software but, still none of the software work for me as both of the above phones have a different base operating system.

But finally I had to use one the worst ways out for transferring contacts i.e using a sim card for storing the contacts.

A normal sim card can hold around 250 contacts so depending on the number of contacts you may need one or two sim card.

In order to transfer the contacts follow the process below 

1. Go to your phone contacts and copy all the contacts to sim card.

2. If your contacts are greater than the memory size of the sim card ,first check upto which contact it got transferred to sim card

3. now insert the sim card in the new s40 phone and copy all the contacts from sim card to phone memory.

4. Repeat the steps until you are able to transfer all the contacts.

5. I know this process is really cumbersome but unfortunately this is the only way out.
