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 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 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.

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)
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)

3 - turn image clockwise
* - toggle on/off of full screen
5 - zoom in
0 - zoom out

Press and hold the Menu key to open the application switching window, where you can *duh* switch

If a program hangs and you can't shut it down, select the application in the

programs.
Turn on/off the "click" sound made by the camera by selecting the 'Silent' profile or by turning

Send or hide your caller ID: Go to: Menu > Tools > Settings > Call > Send My

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!
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.

Never, ever, in your whole life, install WildSkinz on your Nokia 3650!!! WildSkinz screws up
the whole 3650 system. It was never intended to work on the 3650, only on the 7650.
Why assigning Video Recorder in the right or left soft key does not work?
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.
Type in:
*#7370925538#
this will reset the wallet code, the wallet contents will be deleted.

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.
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.
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

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.
