Nokia N series phone tips 1

Soft-reset

Its the process of resetting all the settings of the phone to the factory default! No applications are deleted! Only the default phone settings are reset.
(will not reformat N70 but reset the settings.)

Follow this sequence :-


Tools->settings->phone->general->Orig. Phone settings
OR *#7370#


Hard reset: (Green Dial key, * key and No. 3)

- Turn off PIN code requests.
- Charge the phone fully.
- Turn off the phone.
- Remove the memory card (not really needed, but I usually do it to be on the safe side).
- Put the phone on a table (easier to press the keys then, in my opinion).
- Press the three keys and keep them securely down and do not release.
- While the keys are held down, turn the power on.
- Do not release the three keys until you see the prompt for the home city.

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.
