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 N-Gage.
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 security 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 6600 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. This method ONLY works on 6600, and need not enter the sec code. BUT security 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? Just 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!!
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 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 pixels.
Tip 11: Check if the recipient’s phone is on Delivery reportsType *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 will relay a message back to your phone showing the time they received it.
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 meters. So, we've got past the boring part. Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write a message, e.g. '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
Tip 14: You can select all files in a folder by selecting THE folder and copy it then paste it somewhere. However u needs to make a new directory. Fexplorer won’t let u copy that folder together. Well seleQ can mark files to copy but it really takes time!
Tip 15: 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 inputting 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.

How to free more RAM on your phone >>>
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!
I take no responsibility of these codes are working or not, or its effects on your cell Fone. But I have tried almost 95% of these codes on my cell fone. And I bet, nothing goes wrong, but even then of my words, be careful!
