NOKIA N70 TIPS AND TRICKS
Tip One
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 Two
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 disatrousI 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 Call (Send) buttons, then power on fone, keep holding
on the 3 buttons, till u come to
a format screen. this method
ONLY works on 6600, and
need not enter the sec code.
BUT sec code would be reset to default 12345. Tip Three

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 logosUse 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 pixelsTip

reportsorType *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
BlueJackingFirst 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
anticlockwise3 - turn image
clockwise* - toggle on/off of
full screen5 - zoom in0 - zoom
out Tip 14
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! Tip 15
A soft and Hard resetA 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 16
"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. Tip 17

Make a new to do note with following data : Subject :

Stand-By screen. Now go back
again to To-do List. Then press
"options" & "mark as
