Refer above for some Italian's work on N6600!
1. Switching applications, just press and hold the menu button. select the application and confirm.
2. From time to time, we may be installed many type of Java games. However, some games cann't be exit or terminated. To close it, you may use Application Manager
3. Press and hold "0" to go WAP.
4. There is way to unlock passworded MMC. May need another freeware.
5. If you want your handphone LIGHT to be on 24 hrs, (no black screen). Just run an application Torch, put it into background mode. You may do any other stuffs without any light off!
6. For short 3gps videos, you can use UVSMStyle to make editing. It's really a great software! Some short 3gps combined to become a long movie files.
7. No Autostart - When switching the phone on up to the pin inquiry press the whole time the "ABC" key (pen) - this is to ignore the autoinitialization programs (and the MMC programs) - "safeboot".
8. Never use any Themes. for speed wise... Nevertheless, I do use themes.
9. Turn the light to the most low! for comsuption power!
10. Never use any screen saver as I do not want to charge my phone everyday! However, if you want screen saver for your Symbian phone, try Powerlock. It it only screen saver you want for your Symbian phone.
11. Of course sometime the phone slow because they are background applcation running. Then always tried to use Menu button, call out the application list. Press "C" button to terminate them.
12. Hidden features for senting SMS effectively. U create a new message. At the To: field , u can actually switch to alpha mode, then instead of entering a number, u enter the first letter of the person that u're sending the sms to, for example 'D'. Then u press Down, and u compose the sms as usual. Then when u click send, a list will appear of the ppl that start the letter 'D'.
13. If you arranged all your folders in 3x3. Then each folder has 9 applications or 9 games. You may use the number 1 till 9 to have quickaccess! Avoid heave usage for Navigator control.
14. Themes that may changed the normal folder icons are called SisterPricess1, Windows Media Center and Windows Media Center 2. I did browsed through over few thoudsands theme. At last, I found these are the only 3 I need! No any other themes can change your phone folder icons! SisterPricess1 does has very nice pictures, if you are a femele, for sure you will love that!
Currently, I am busy finding Mashimaro themes. If any member here does have that, please let me know. I will really appreciate your help. Just cann't find any Mashimaro theme for Symbian phones. Can any Symbian-Freak member help me to creat one. I am 100% DO NOT know any computer programming. Me not a Please help me

15. We all know about Explorers. Well, there are many symbian explorers. Among them, we got Ximplify SeleQ, FExplorer, SmartFileMan, and ProfiExplorer. I know not much about Ximplify SeleQ.
FExplorer is the first explorer in my phone. It can be use to set your operator logo. Moreover, when deleting files. If the files are with readonly attribute, it will prompt you for comfirmation deletion.
SmartFileMan is a great application that allow you to set attributes of files. E.g. Archive? Read only? Hidden? System? Process subfolders? Making some files or folders hided from the phone! or remain protected from viewing by some people. Sorting among files are possible by Name, Extension, size, date and type.
This ProfiExplorer by lonelyCat is the best Explorer as it break the sending protected file via bluetooth! Means, you may send any files for your nokia phone to anyone via bluetooh, or InfraRed. Moreover, if you view any txt files, it gives you nearly fullscreen pictures! Speed of browsing files are the fastest.
Since all 3 Explorers do have their own unique purpose, I keep all three in my Nokia 6600!
16. If you do have Card Reader for your MMC or RS-MMC.(recommended to buy one) After using it for a long time, 6 months?!, 1 years?!. Files installed, deleted,... uninstalled and etc happened in your MMC. You may use Card Reader to do scandisk and Deframentation on your MMC. After the process, your phone will become faster and back to normal to lower any corrupted MMC chances. Most importantly, you will not have a "hanging" phone.
Cautions: Deframentation and scandisk may correct your files system if it found any errors. Thus after process. Your MMC may corrupted if the MMC initially already have wrong file structure. My advice is do backup before using item 16, and all on your own risk.
17. Some best applications,
UltraMP3 for playing mp3,
Resco Viewer for viewing pictures,
PhotoBase Mobile Edition for Series60 for pictures editing.
SmartMovie for playing avi movies,
Powerlock for Animated screen saver,
Facewave for Voice MMS,
CameraFX for camera,
3GPP Philips Camcoder PRO for Nokia 6600 for unlimited time cam.
Since my N6600 is in firmware V 3.48.0, ETI Camcorder Pro is not working in my phone! (lazy to upgrade it,... )
If recommendation for the application above? Any comments?
18. You may change your symbian font type, but not the font size! Till now, I have find no way to change the small font size in my N6600. I have been trying my best to look for way of changing font size. Just no luck!
19. No way to play any AAC files in N6600. And no way to have MP3 ringtone, and of course, no way to have FM Radio.... This is really . Please do not trust that Oggplay can have MP3 ringtone in your N6600, i tried before. Not working. *a joke here, I am planning to form a hijacking team for this purpose, to hijack those enginners from Nokia, anyone interested?*
20. Nokia 6230 can have Karaoke! Yes, Nokai 6600 can Karaoke too, Please check the topic Unbelievable Karaoke topic by me in Symbian-Freak forum - 100% free Karaoke JAVA application. Of course, I do have download many Karaoke from that site. For each download, there is a time frame for the song. Multiple downloads are necessary. I have unintalled my first download. Never use it anymore, however it is good to know got such application.
21. In view of many phone users may be still using monoscreen phone. Thus, PhotoSMS become quite handy. In a way that it can modify the photo image into the mono colour photo. So that you may send your snapped photo to your friends who still using monoscreen phones. Personally i using it quite often!
22. Guess I should mention about bluetoothing, and phone memory problem. The solution is to make the saving into the MMC instead of the phone memory. Since the Nokia 6600 just have 6MB internal memory. First, go to the messaging, then setting. Scroll all the way down to the option "others". Make the save option to the MMC. In this way, if you want to bluetooth a 10MB files, and if your destination phone have free MMC over than 10MB. No problem at all.
23. About battery life, I am using the original Nokia battery. Just for information as comparing how long my N6600 battery can last long. I charge it till full on 26th March night. On 27th morning start using it, in normal phone usage, not listening to any MP3 songs or running any applications and games. The battery finished on 3pm, 29th March. Thus, it takes approximately about 63 hours. Kind of at a satisfaction condition, i guess.
24. Since Nokia 6600 is using Symbian OS 7. You may interested actually what phone models in the market are actually a symbian OS phone? Well, you may check the link below for information of COMFIRM symbian phone list. If the phone name not listed in this web site. I doubt that the phone you interested may be using other operating system.

Remember: I was told that if 2 phones are in Symbian OS. That does not mean you can have all same Symbian applications or games installed in both phones. It related to phone using Symbian UIQ and etc... ?!
25. Below are 2 great Nokia phones configurators. Which can help you to configue the GPRS and MMS setting for Nokia phones. Just try one of them, not both together.

26. About gallery collection in N6600. As mentioned, it is wise to resize the pictures to the size of phone screen. Great photo editor i think is ACDSee Version 4.0 Power Pack Suite. As this version allow us to do resizing the pictures according to the size we need for our phones. In Nokia 6600, browsing in Multimedia folder. The size of photo is 176x144. However, for fullscreen browsing with Resco Viewer. The size of photo is best at 208x176. Benefit with resized picture is the speed of loading! I just wander is there any Gif editor for symbian phone?
27. If you want your N6600 to run faster then u need to go to the main menu select log and set the log to 1 day. Some N6600 secret codes are
*#06# ==> Phone Firmware version
*#0000# ==> Firmware version
*#2820# ==> Bluetooth setting address
Done numeric from other forum
Quote:
Alls Codes that I know for 6600
*#06# Serial Number/IMEI indicates
*#0000# SW version (e.g. V3.42.1, 16-10-03, NHL-10)
*#2820# Bluetooth (BT) device address

On/Off key -short pressing for menu for switching between profiles
Menu key - Long pressing for "task manager" - switching between active programs (with "C" key programs can be terminated.)
Menu quick access - Over in the menu e.g. to point 3.1 arrive simply 31 enter (if the third symbol a file is opened is for these and then in it started the first Programm/Icon).
No Autostart - When switching the phone on up to the pin inquiry press the whole time the "ABC" key (pen) - this is to ignore the autoinitialization programs (and the MMC programs) - "safeboot".
12345 ... is according to be the standard Nokia nokia-securitycode.
0000 ... is according to be standard PIN2 at Vodafone (germany)
----------------------------------------
Caution - starting from here the codes are "dangerous"
*#7370925538#
*#Res0Wallet#
... is to delete the code around the "wallet"
Input like normal telephone number (not in wallet code inquiry windows).
NOTE! Afterwards the "wallet" is empty, can again be put on however with new code.
*#7780# - Reset to original settings
NOTE! Afterwards various "attitudes" are away - among other things these:
Points of entrance (Provider dependent points of entrance and attitudes)
Bluetooth attitudes
Favorite
Allocation of the two keys (beside Navi keys) in the main menue
Profiles are "neglected" (as with distribution) - still there however new bell tones, etc. are...
SMS/MMS/E Mail attitudes
Logos and spielstaende (allegedly) also deleted...
Programs, calendars and contacts, etc. not changed...
*#7370# - Soft format - resets all the telefone Memory (like Formatting a disk
NOTE! Battery should be full up to at least 75%, do not accomplish during the procedure under any circumstances ! The procedure takes some minutes (approx. 3-4)
Green, * 3 - Hard format: If the Mobile (only telephone memory) formats, puts back the attitudes (see * to # 7780 #) and implements a RESET.
NOTE! Battery should be full up to at least 75%, do not accomplish during the procedure under any circumstances ! The procedure takes some minutes (approx. 3-4)
Proceeding: Equipment switch off, keep "green key" (take off) at the same time pressed, "*" and to "3" key and switch the equipment on (the keys thereby keep further pressed)... to "Formatting" on the display appears...
28. My MP3 experiences. I understand that Nokia symbian phones like 6600, 7610, 6670 and etc are mono speaker phones. However, I tried on same kbs, Mhz, but one with mono, and the other is stereo. The quanlity of the MP3 are totaly much better in stereo! Have anyone notice that? Or my ears got problem in listening stereo MP3?
So, my experience in MP3 are as follows:
i. Given 1 MP3 with setting 64kbs. Then via converting to high kbs, that does not increase the quanlity of the converted MP3! Convertion comes to handy if we need to shrink down the size of MP3. Will only make the quanlity of MP3 lower. May be you can try to convert one 8kbit mono MP3 song to a 256kbit stereo MP3 song. See if you can get a good result?
ii. If looking for a good quanlity MP3. We should rip them from Original Audio CD into the highest setting(Studio setting). Say, I rip one MP3 from Audio CD. Gain the 256kbit 44.1kHz MP3 file. So, this MP3 become your best quanlity MP3 with 8 or 9 MB in size. Dun worry,.... convert it to a setting that satisfy you with a smaller size. As a result, you can compare your converted MP3 with your friends MP3. Which is the same setting. You will notice that, same setting MP3s can give you different quanlity. Kind of odds indeed?!
The software I used to rip is Nero Ahead.
Does anyone know what I am saying? Since sometime, my english quite confussing people. sorry for my poor english.
iii. May be I am type of stubborn minded person, my phone just keep the first ripped MP3s from Audio CD. No convertion after that, as I think that is the best MP3 I can get. Playing with UltraMP3, wow.... you will feel surprise! Of course, my MP3 collection in my phone is small due to the dinosour sizing. Really hope can have 1GB MMC installed.
29. One interesting points to note. We all love mobile phones, else you are not viewing this topic here! So far, we visited many reviews in tons of web pages about phone models. For those phones have camera features, We will be very interested to view the pictures taken by that particular phone!
Thus, please the link here for photos taken by my N6600.

30. Finding on copying texts and pictures in N6600.
i. Copying texts in N6600. In message received folder,
Sometime we may need to copy and paste some valuable texts in the message into our notes. Use option, forward so that we can use the cursor. Press and hold the "pen" button, and highlight what you want to copy with the navigator control button. Without releasing the "pen" button, you can actually do copying since left soft button will change to 'copy' on your phone screen.
After done copying, here... you can go to "notes", "to do list" or any application and do pasting of the text you copied in the same way with "pen" button.
ii. When discussing on copying text in the phone. One forumer in Symbian-freak did asked how do we copy text when we are doing WAP surfing? This seems really new to me, as I never think of that before! Hence, I purposely do a surfing, going to Digi menu, Nokia Wap sites etc. No luck in finding any solution.
The result of discussion in that forum is no solution as well.
If anyone knowing the methods or by use of any symbian application, please kindly update me!

iii. About copying pictures on the N6600, Please check WiB Screen Capture 1.01
31. Tips or suggestion for facing hang or lag problems while using N6600 with graphic intensive theme. This is one of the problem for Symbian phones with graphic theme. Sometime bad design theme compiled with errors may bring harms to your phone! My sister is a master of this! She never use any theme. But using the method of changing the logo operator, and some graphic application in symbian. She manage to make her phone so beautiful and unique! Therefore, she never use theme. Doing so, speeding up her phone!
32. Some applications are too slow in my phone! For example exiting OGGplay, the phone seems just hanging?!
Suggestion: Regarding the oggplay, sometime the lagging of phone depends on the location the application installed! For example,
The speed of application loading is:
10 of 10 if installed into the phone memory!
or
2 out 10 if installed into the memory card!
Tips in freeing some phone memory is try to set the messaging storage into your memory card. Instead of your phone memory!
(Referring to item 22 above)
Advice: Try to figure out which application that is the most important to you. And install it into your phone memory. e.g. I installed my UltraMP3 into my phone memory!
33. Tips in hiding applications installed in your Symbian phone exclude ROM apps!
i. Using any Symbian explorer(refering item 15 above) application to go to the application-to-be-hided directory.
ii. Rename or add 'A' or any character in front of that '.app' file.
iii.Exit from the symbian explorer, and you will see no more about your application just renamed.
Personally, i have try this on my N6600. And it works perfectly, after renaming back to original application name. It reappears again in your main menu screen.
Caution: Try on your own risk, as this just for your information. Normally it is nothing to hide about the application in your phone. Unless, you are a naughty person.
34. Hiding the general Nokia menu screen.
As refering to item 33 above, instead of hiding any icon or folder in Series 60 phones. In fact, I really do not know why some users want to hide something in the phone from someone. However, I just notice that there is one application called "ActiveToday for Series 60"!
So, using that you can by pass the normal Nokia main menu screen. I mean there is a setting that you can set it off and vice versa(No more menu screen!). Then just put in any shoctcut icons you want! Does that solve your problem? This application make your N6600 user interface just like another OS platform.
Please try to find that software with google for more information!
35. Question: Why come out with such a long story? Answer: I am doing some notes for my phones . And hope to share with anyone that are same interest. Thank you very much.
If anyone find out anything new, please feel free post some information. I may be wrong in any item above, please correct me I love to learn new stuff and interesting processes. From the very begining, I have been using Nokia or Alcatel phones till now. Never switch to any other brand like Sony Ericssion, Motorola

28. My MP3 experiences. I understand that Nokia symbian phones like 6600, 7610, 6670 and etc are mono speaker phones. However, I tried on same kbs, Mhz, but one with mono, and the other is stereo. The quanlity of the MP3 are totaly much better in stereo! Have anyone notice that? Or my ears got problem in listening stereo MP3?
So, my experience in MP3 are as follows:
i. Given 1 MP3 with setting 64kbs. Then via converting to high kbs, that does not increase the quanlity of the converted MP3! Convertion comes to handy if we need to shrink down the size of MP3. Will only make the quanlity of MP3 lower. May be you can try to convert one 8kbit mono MP3 song to a 256kbit stereo MP3 song. See if you can get a good result?
ii. If looking for a good quanlity MP3. We should rip them from Original Audio CD into the highest setting(Studio setting). Say, I rip one MP3 from Audio CD. Gain the 256kbit 44.1kHz MP3 file. So, this MP3 become your best quanlity MP3 with 8 or 9 MB in size. Dun worry,.... convert it to a setting that satisfy you with a smaller size. As a result, you can compare your converted MP3 with your friends MP3. Which is the same setting. You will notice that, same setting MP3s can give you different quanlity. Kind of odds indeed?!
The software I used to rip is Nero Ahead.
Does anyone know what I am saying? Since sometime, my english quite confussing people. sorry for my poor english.
iii. May be I am type of stubborn minded person, my phone just keep the first ripped MP3s from Audio CD. No convertion after that, as I think that is the best MP3 I can get. Playing with UltraMP3, wow.... you will feel surprise! Of course, my MP3 collection in my phone is small due to the dinosour sizing. Really hope can have 1GB MMC installed.
29. One interesting points to note. We all love mobile phones, else you are not viewing this topic here! So far, we visited many reviews in tons of web pages about phone models. For those phones have camera features, We will be very interested to view the pictures taken by that particular phone!
Thus, please the link here for photos taken by my N6600.

30. Finding on copying texts and pictures in N6600.
i. Copying texts in N6600. In message received folder,
Sometime we may need to copy and paste some valuable texts in the message into our notes. Use option, forward so that we can use the cursor. Press and hold the "pen" button, and highlight what you want to copy with the navigator control button. Without releasing the "pen" button, you can actually do copying since left soft button will change to 'copy' on your phone screen.
After done copying, here... you can go to "notes", "to do list" or any application and do pasting of the text you copied in the same way with "pen" button.
ii. When discussing on copying text in the phone. One forumer in Symbian-freak did asked how do we copy text when we are doing WAP surfing? This seems really new to me, as I never think of that before! Hence, I purposely do a surfing, going to Digi menu, Nokia Wap sites etc. No luck in finding any solution.
The result of discussion in that forum is no solution as well.
If anyone knowing the methods or by use of any symbian application, please kindly update me!

31. Tips or suggestion for facing hang or lag problems while using N6600 with graphic intensive theme. This is one of the problem for Symbian phones with graphic theme. Sometime bad design theme compiled with errors may bring harms to your phone! My sister is a master of this! She never use any theme. But using the method of changing the logo operator, and some graphic application in symbian. She manage to make her phone so beautiful and unique! Therefore, she never use theme. Doing so, speeding up her phone!
32. Some applications are too slow in my phone! For example exiting OGGplay, the phone seems just hanging?!
Suggestion: Regarding the oggplay, sometime the lagging of phone depends on the location the application installed! For example,
The speed of application loading is:
10 of 10 if installed into the phone memory!
or
2 out 10 if installed into the memory card!
Tips in freeing some phone memory is try to set the messaging storage into your memory card. Instead of your phone memory!
(Referring to item 22 above)
Advice: Try to figure out which application that is the most important to you. And install it into your phone memory. e.g. I installed my UltraMP3 into my phone memory!
33. Tips in hiding applications installed in your Symbian phone exclude ROM apps!
i. Using any Symbian explorer(refering item 15 above) application to go to the application-to-be-hided directory.
ii. Rename or add 'A' or any character in front of that '.app' file.
iii.Exit from the symbian explorer, and you will see no more about your application just renamed.
Personally, i have try this on my N6600. And it works perfectly, after renaming back to original application name. It reappears again in your main menu screen.
Caution: Try on your own risk, as this just for your information. Normally it is nothing to hide about the application in your phone. Unless, you are a naughty person.
34. Hiding the general Nokia menu screen.
As refering to item 33 above, instead of hiding any icon or folder in Series 60 phones. In fact, I really do not know why some users want to hide something in the phone from someone. However, I just notice that there is one application called "ActiveToday for Series 60"!
So, using that you can by pass the normal Nokia main menu screen. I mean there is a setting that you can set it off and vice versa(No more menu screen!). Then just put in any shoctcut icons you want! Does that solve your problem? This application make your N6600 user interface just like another OS platform.
Please try to find that software with google for more information!
35. Question: Why come out with such a long story? Answer: I am doing some notes for my phones . And hope to share with anyone that are same interest. Thank you very much.
If anyone find out anything new, please feel free post some information. I may be wrong in any item above, please correct me I love to learn new stuff and interesting processes. From the very begining, I have been using Nokia or Alcatel phones till now. Never switch to any other brand like Sony Ericssion, Motorola
