Q: When I want to upload something on the MMC I get a "The operation could not be
completed" error. How to fix this?
A: Rename the MMC (can be done in the Gallery) and reboot your phone.
Q: I've got a big movie on my phone and want to fastforward (rewind). How can I do this?
A: You can't.
Q: I've uploaded mp3s to my MMC and arranged them in folders. The phone won't find any of
them. Can this be fixed?
A: mp3s have to be in the root of the MMC. Or you define the location of the mp3s before
uploading via playlist, so when the phone accesses the playlist, it knows the mp3s are in this
specific folder.

(1)What's the difference between the N-Gage and QD?
In order to know their differences, let's compare their specs:
Original N-Gage
- Triband (900/1800/1900)
- 4096 colourscreen
- Stereo (comes with stereo headset)
- Comes with a USB cable, recording cable and adaptor cable (for recording radio/MP3
purposes)
- Built in MP3 player and radio
- side-talking
- Must turn off the phone, remove the battery cover AND battery in order to remove MMC
- 5-way direction pad (CENTER for menu selection)
- Comes with BL-5C battery
- MP3, AAC, MIDI or WAV ringtones
- Great RF
N-Gage QD
- Dualband (850/1900 or 900/1800)
- 4096 colourscreen (brighter than Original N-Gage)
- Mono (comes with dual mono headset)
- Doesn't come with ANY cables
- NO built in MP3 player or radio (will still be able to listen to mp3's thru 3rd party apps)
- NO side-talking
- Hot-swop, easy removal of MMC
- 4-way direction pad with a separate "menu selection" key
- Comes with BL-6C battery
- MIDI or WAV ringtones
- Great RF (better than Original N-Gage if 850 is being used)
(3) Can my (input s60 phone here) play N-Gage games? Where/How can I find ******* N-Gage
games for my (input s60 phone here)?
Yes your s60 phone can play N-Gage games. How and where? according to forum rules, I am
not allow to tell. Sorry.
1. In the menu, select File > Open. A dialog opens. The shortcut for this is to click the Open
button in the toolbar. Browse for the audio file or video with audio you want to convert and click
Open. Alternatively, you can drag-and-drop a file to Multimedia Converter.
2. Select the audio format (AMR or WB-AMR) and audio bit rate. WB-AMR produces higher
quality sound than AMR. Selecting a higher bit rate increases the quality of the sound, but it
produces larger files.
3. It is also possible to set the maximum size of the converted file in the Max file size edit box. In
MMS, the size of audio file cannot exceed certain values; for example, 100 kB, because some
WAP gateways might block the transfer of larger files, operators might prefer to limit the file size
to reduce air-traffic, or because not all MMS client and server implementations support large file
sizes. When you set a maximum file size limit, you cannot define the audio bit rate. It's adjusted
automatically so that the converted file contains the whole original file from the given start point
and so that its size is equal to or smaller than the given size limit. If the given size limit is too
small to meet by reducing audio bit rate, the converted file is truncated (shortened from the
end).
4. You can start the conversion from an offset point. Set the time stamp of the offset in the Start
time edit box. The shortcut for this is to keep the CTRL key pressed and slide the original file
location indicator to the desired position. This updates the time stamp information in the Start
time edit box.
5. Click Convert. Another dialog pops up and shows the progress of the conversion. After the
conversion is finished, you can hear the converted audio file. You can select the original or
converted audio for playback by selecting “Original” or “Converted” from the drop down menu
The converted audio file format is AMR (.amr suffix files) or WB-AMR (.awb suffix files),
depending on the audio setting.

Copying Files From PC To Phone
While some files are sent to your phone by a provider through MMS, others have been copied to
your computer and have to be sent to your phone for installation. There are a number of ways of
transferring files between your computer and your phone. The 6600 has Bluetooth and Infrared
(I/R) connections available to it. The best way of copying files is by using these connections. If
your computer doesn't have bluetooth or I/R capabilities, there are many bits of hardware on the
market that plug into a USB drive and enable Bluetooth or Infrared connections (check links for
example products).
Bluetooth is usually a preffered method as it is alot faster than an I/R connection and doesn't
need a clear sight to maintain a connection as I/R does and has a larger range (usually around
10m).
-If you are using a plug-in device, install it using the software and instructions provided. Also
turn on either the Bluetooth or I/R connection on your phone, whichever you are using. Goto
MENU--CONNECTIONS for this and select either Bluetooth or Infrared
-If you are using Bluetooth, it is a good idea to change the name of your phone so that it can be
easily recognised. Goto MENU--CONNECTIONS--BLUETOOTH and go down to "My Phone's
Name" and change it to something you would recognise.
-Once all the connection devices are ready, use your PC to search for the phone. If you are
using infra-red, make sure the phone's infrared port and the I/R port on your PC are pointing
towards each other and that nothing is between them.
-Once a connection has been established, send the install file thats is on your PC to your
phone. This will be received as a message on your phone once it has been sent.
-Open this message, and if te file is a working install file, the install process will start
automatically.
NOTE: I recommend that you change your message setting to use the MMC memory as
opposed to you phone memory some files are quite large and can eat up all your phones
memory
Another way to copy files to your phone is by using a card reader to copy the file to your MMC
(The removeable memory card). A Memeory card reader can easily be bought in most computer
stores and once installed, the MMC from your phone can be place in its contents can be
navigated from MY COMPUTER. I have never used this method myself.
NOTE: Only .SIS and .JAR files can be used on the 6600. Old .jad files used for othe phone
models DO NOT WORK on the 6600. Some .JAR files have also been known to cause
problems for the 6600.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Files
The Install Process is very basic once it is initiated. Files that are to be installed are usually
located in your messages. Make sure your phone isn't about to run out of battery as well!
-Goto the file you want to install (usually located in your messages) and open it to start the
installation procedure.
-The install procedure should start up automatically and ask you if you would like to install the
program contained in the file.
-Choose yes and the process will continue. It will then ask you where to copy the file to, phone
memory or Memory Card. I recommend using the memory card as programs can usually take up
alot of space and the phone memory is not very large. Chose the prefered option and the
process will continue.
-Some times the process will stop and tell you that a certificate has not been recognised and do
you want to continue. It is usally safe to continue with installation if you are confidant that the
source you got the file from is trustworthy. If however you have obtained the files from an
unknow source (Kaza for instance) there might be a small (Very Small) risk that the file is not
trustworthy. I have never had any problems with any of the hundreds of files i have used
-Once the installation process is finished, you can start using the program. Most programs turn
up as an icon at the bottom of you MENU screen. (You can now delete the origional install file to
save space).
NOTE: All the files i hvae put up on this site have been tested by me and, as far as i know, are
working 100% . However the user downloads and installs these files at their own risk. I am not
responsible for anything that goes wrong with connection to these files
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uninstalling Files
I got an e-mail the other day from a Wessel Rauch concerning uninstalling programs on the
6600 and it made me realise that i (stupidly) hadn't added it to the Install Files Tutorial I did a
while back. So here is a quick explanantion of how you can delete those pesky programs:
Go into the Menu on your phone (press the blue 'menu' key on the left hand side of the phone)
Cycle through the menu till you come to an option that says "Manager" and open it (either by
pressing the joystick in or using Options - Open)
The Manger (or the App. Manger) is a list of all programs that are installed on the phone be it on
the MMC card or the phones memory
The Manager sometimes takes a few seconds to load all the information. You'll hear a beep
upon opening the Manager and then a beep once the list is loaded (or you can just wait till it
allows you to scroll down)
Once the list is loaded, cycle through it till you come to the name of the program you want to
uninstall
Once the target program is highlighted, press the "clear" button (The button with the 'c' on it
which is on the right hand side of the phone
A warning will come up asking you if you really want to remove the application Yes or No
Click 'Yes' to completeley remove the program from your phone or click 'No' to keep it or if you
have made a mistake.
There are a couple of notes i would also like to add about unistalling programs:
Once a program is removed it can only be re-installed if you have the orgional install file you
used to install it in the first place
Sometimes the name of the program you want to uninstall isn't given a recognisable name in the
App. Manger List. If this is the case you should use your own common sense to try and decide
which one is reffering to the program you want to remove. If you are unsure you risk deleting a
program you didn't want to lose
On rare occasions, the program won;t be listed in the App. Manager List at all. If this is the case
you will have to use a file manger like F-Explorer or File Man to find and delete the files you
want removed
Sorry if some parts of te tutorial seemed a bit over-simplistic but some readers really are
beginners at this
Note 2: You must have some sort of file managing software to do this. Download and install
such an application before beginning this guide! I recommend FExplorer or SeleQ.
Send the BLZ-Installer to your phone, it should be a *.SIS file, if it is not, then it is probably a
*.ZIP or *.RAR, unpack the *.SIS file from the archive, then send it. DO NOT send the *.ZIP or
*.RAR files to your phone.
You may need to do this a few times, because usually games are packed more than once.
Once you have the *.BLZ game file unpacked, send this to your phone.
Run the BLZ-Installer. Now you should see the game listed there. Select Option and then Install.
Wait for the process to finish. The game should then be installed.
If you followed the procedure correctly and everything went well, you should see a new Icon,
that is the game.
PLAY IT!!
Thats it!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When a .jar installs it will drop files into to different parts of the system directory on the mmc The
.jar file along with a couple of files will sit in the e/system/midlets folder.
In the e/system/apps folder you will find corresponding files for each of the games normally
named something like this [101b7b5a] inside these folders you will find a couple of files one
being a .txt file you can open these and it will tell you what game they are associated with.
Makes sure that these folders are also deleted if they are still there after the uninstallation and
then reboot. you should then hopefully have gotten rid of the icons that have nbeen left behind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keylocked Backlight
Press the power button to switch on the backlight when keylock is applied so you can see the
keys to unlock the keypad.
Handy Flashlight
If you ever need a flashlight in a pinch, simply remove the phone's swappable faceplate (it's held
on by the tab at the top of the phone and some pressure on the sides) and the blue LEDs that
light up the keypad will light your way.
Repeating Events
The Calendar GUI does not support repeating events based on the day of the week (i.e. third
Sunday). A workaround is to enter the event on a Palm device and beam the event to the 3650.
Step 1.
Before you do anything. Place your MMC into your phone and format it.
Step 2.
Place the N-Gage disc (that comes with the phone) into your cd rom.
If youve got XP: Connect your N-Gage to your pc with the USB cable. Leave windows to find all
the necessary drivers automatically. Your MMC in your N-Gage will now be recognised as a
removeable drive in 'My Computer'.
If you havent got XP: Do the same as above. If nothing happens, run the program on the N-
Gage disc and install any drivers you find.
Step 3.
Once the MMC is recognised by your PC, simply drag and drop any files you want onto the
MMC (removeable drive).
Step 4.
Download FExplorer from HERE and place the file on your MMC.
Once on the MMC go to your menu then Tools --> Manager --> FExplorer --> Options --> Install
Follow all the on screen intructions. This has installed a file browser for you N-Gage. You can
now access all the files on your N-Gage and MMC which 'Manager' can't see (like Java games).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some usefull n-gage tips:
1. You cant use the USB cable unless a MMC is inserted into the N-Gage.
2. You can only use Multimedia Cards in the N-Gage. SD cards DO NOT work.
3. If you brought your N-Gage in the UK there is no need to purchase a MMC, as one is
provided with the phone (Nokia Game Card is also a MMC).
4. You can find free games and applications at www.my-symbian.com
5. All the apps and games available for the 3650/7650 will work on your N-Gage (except those
associated with a camera).
7. The N-Gage doesnt have a camera and most likely never will. If it did it would connect via the
USB port or bluetooth.
8. The N-Gage does have removeable fascias, but doesnt appear to be promoted by Nokia.
Third party fascias only.
9. PC Suite is only used to backup/restore your calendar and contacts files. It is therefore
unecessary to purchase a blutetooth adapter and install PC Suite unless intended for that
purpose.
10. You must fully charge your phone before using it to allow maximum capacity.
11. You can use MMC that are larger than 128mb. A 512mb card has been tried and tested by
numerous members and all have praised it. Search the forum for more info.

2. Error Message: General System Error.
3. Able to receive but not send email.
4. Can I automatically check my email every x minutes?
Nokia users however, may find it easier to use the Nokia auto configurator. This is available
[here.]
Many Nokia country-specific sites also have this service. Check your coutries Nokia website for
this.
Alternatively some internet service providers do not allow you to collect POP3 mail when you
are connecting to their mail server via a different ISP. You are connecting via a different ISP if
you are using your phone. Your ISP in this case is your operator.
3. Able to receive but not send email.
You are probably trying to use you PC's ISP email server (smtp.myisp.co.uk). Many ISPs block
there smtp server for people not connecting to the internet via themselves. This prevents the
servers being used for spam. This is annoying for mobile phone users as it means they can not
use their ISP's servers from their phones.
However most operators provide a smtp server that you can use. You should contact your
operator for details.

As you might know, the Nokia 3650 doesn't have as much RAM as for instance the
Nokia 6600 and N-Gage but there are two ways to get more free (usable) RAM:
Put your 3650 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 3650. 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.
Using one of the above methods will let you run big games (e.g. Doom) and apps without getting
those annoying "memory low" messages. :-)
But both ways obviously do have two major disadvantages: you can't make phone calls or use
Bluetooth while using these methods.

Disk C: - storage ("disk") memory. 4 MB (about 3,6 MB free for the user). This disk is used for
storing user data, files and applications. Disk C: is a Flash disk, which means that it preserves
its contents even when the power is off or the battery is removed. This memory cannot be
expanded. If you need more storage memory, you can use one of the compression tools like
Smart Compress or Space Doubler.
Disk D: (in Nokia 3650 - Disk E - RAM-disk (400 kilobytes). This disk is meant for internal
system use. Some applications temporarily store their data on this disk, which makes them work
faster (RAM memory is much faster than Flash). It is useless to save any user data on D:
because all contents of this disk are lost when you switch the phone off or reboot the system.
Disk Z: - read only Flash memory (16 Megabytes). Contains firmware (operating system).
Contents of Z: drive cannot be modified by the user. Firmware upgrade can only be made by
authorized service centres using special Flash programming devices and Nokia service software
called Phoenix.
Operating memory (RAM) - this memory is for executing installed applications. The size is 4 MB
(of which ~3 MB are available). You cannot install anything to this memory and you cannot
expand it.
(Nokia 3650 only) Memory card (disk D - 16 MB MMC (Multimedia card). Flash memory for user
data and applications. You can use this memory to install more programs, store large files
(movies, audio, pictures etc). Can be replaced with any other MMC card - up to 1GB.
If you still have problems with understanding the memory structure of Nokia 3650/7650 phones,
think of disk C: as of internal hard disk of your PC, MMC in 3650 as of second hard disk and
operating memory as of RAM of your desktop.

The operator logo is the picture on top of your phone screen, in most cases is the name of your
operator.
How to change it for a nice picture? You can do this by diferent ways:
C:\System\Apps\Phone\Oplogo\
You can use FExplorer (any jpeg/bmp, no resize), seleQ (any image, it will resize it) --> select
the image you want be operator logo, select options-file-set as operator logo.
COUNTRYCODE_NETWORKCODE_SUBNETCODE.BMP
In the PHILIPPINES:
Smart: 515 01
Globe: 515 02
You have a list of country codes and network codes here , just ignore the first "0" in network
code if any.
If you want to delete the logo to restore the original (name of the operator) just delete the bmp
file from c:\system\apps\phone\oplogo.

· Press and hold the Menu key to open the application switching window, where you can *duh*
switch between applications.
If a program hangs and you can't shut it down, select the application in the
application switching window and press 'C' to kill it. It's also a faster way to exit programs.
· Turn on/off the "click" sound made by the camera by selecting the 'Silent' profile or by turning
warning tones on/off:
Menu > Profiles > "select your activated profile" > Personalise > Warning tones > On/Off.
(This also effects the sound of Java games and apps).

The ultimate guide to get a ******* .app file on your nokia 6600/7650/3650/3660
4. Once installed, send the .app to the phone, should be in message inbox.
8. Now goto to the folder of the application you installed, which should be something like
"e:\system\apps\nameofapplication" (assuming you installed to youe MMC) and paste the .app
file.

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.
> 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.
It is possible that your mobile will offer you the option of formatting the memory card if it is found
to be invalid. (However, the likes of Nokia nGage, Nokia 6600, and Siemens Sx1 often just
prefer to reject the media as corrupted).
In that case, to format the card, you will need access to one or more of the following:
Now you can insert your MobyMemory card into the appropriate slot in the memory card reader.
(Please note that because the MMC card is pretty much symmetrical it is very easy to insert it
upside-down in the slot).
Open up [Windows Explorer] (or the equivalent for MAC users..sorry not well-versed in OS X).
There should be at least one icon visible for a [Removable Drive] in the list of available drives.
(in fact, there is often a list of about 5 or 6 Removable drives, one for each of the different
Memory card formats that your reader is compatible with).
Find the drive that is mapped to the MMC card by clicking on each in turn until it confirms there
is a drive present. (Sometimes it is easiest to do this by trying a fully-functional MMC card in the
MMC slot first so you can confirm which drive letter it is.)
(NB. It will always be labelled as a [Removable Drive], don't mistake it for one of your PC hard
drives like [C:] drive, as that could be catastrophic later on!)
At this stage it may give an error message saying that the drive is unreadable.
By right-clicking on the drive letter, it will provide the option of formatting the drive.
Select format the drive, and the [Format Drive] dialog will appear (Double-check again to make
sure it not your [C:] drive!).
There is only one setting to focus on in this page, and that is to ensure that the FileSystem
selected for formatting is the [FAT] option (not FAT32, or NTFS or any other option)
(Note: All mobile phones, to my knowledge, and most cameras (etc..) use the FAT file system
(or at least are compatible with it) on their memory card media.)
Now click on Format Now ( ensure [Quick Format] is not selected as this will not actually restore
the file system space byte by byte, but only resets the header information so the drive thinks its
empty again. This may not be enought to solve your corruption problem.)
The PC will now - hopefully!- chug away happily until it has restored the memory card space
back to its original configuration (of course, any information on there is long gone by now!).
If you recieve an error message back from the [Format Now] request, then your problem may be
more permanent, and not just a software issue. In this case, it may still respond to a format
request in a different memory card reader or device.
If you believe it to be a failure of manufacture, then the warranty on the card offers the prospect
of a replacement card, subject to a confirmation of the fault upon return of the goods.

When you cant uninstall an application(most of the time Java games) using the Manager
function of the phone, then do this;
1. Install FExplorer.
2. Launch it and goto the path/folder of the Application. I'm assuming you have install it to the
MMC so the path would be something like,
E:\system\apps
and you will see lots of folders in there that is only labelled by numbers(for Java games/apps) or
the name of the application. Go though them one by one. Open the text file in that folder to
exactly know the name of the application in that particular folder if you dont see any icons or
familiar name.
3. Then if its the correct folder, "move-out" of the folder, click on Options>File>Delete.
5. Reboot.

I know IR is old skool but hey, it comes handy at times especially when BT acts-up on you
This procedure assumes that the infrared device is connected to a serial port on your computer.
Use this procedure only if Windows did not automatically install an infrared device when you
turned on your computer. Typically, Universal Serial Bus (USB), PCMCIA, and other Plug and
Play-compliant infrared devices are automatically detected and installed.
01. If you do not have an installation disk for the infrared device, click the manufacturer of the
device in the Manufacturer list, click the infrared device that best matches your hardware in the
Infrared Device list, and then click Next.
02. If you have a manufacturer's installation disk for a compatible driver, click Have Disk. Insert
the manufacturer's installation disk into the appropriate drive, and then click Next.
Follow the instructions that are displayed on the remaining pages of the Add Hardware Wizard
to install the infrared device.
01. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Wireless Link.
02. Click the Hardware tab, click the infrared device for which you want to view properties, and
then click Properties.
01. Start the BIOS configuration utility for your computer. Note that the method for starting the
BIOS configuration utility varies from one computer to another. For many computers, you can
start the BIOS configuration utility by pressing a function key that is indicated during the
computer startup process. Some computers require that you start by using special configuration
disks. For more information about how to enter BIOS Setup, see your computer manufacturer's
documentation.
02. In the peripheral or serial port configuration section, change the mode to IrDA or Infrared.
Troubleshooting
Installing an IrDA transceiver disables the serial port. Do not attach a serial IrDA transceiver to a
serial port.
