[TUTORIAL] exit music player in new s60 phones

N73 ME & 5700 XpressMusic
How to exit Music Player

Actually, there is a point. The N73 Music Edition preloads the Music Player app on startup so there is no delay when you push the Music key on the right. Although you can't see it right away on startup, if you open the Task Manager, you can see that the Music player is running.

Using latest firmware of N73; You can also perform this trick on 5700, or other phones also

For those who cant exit music player, here are the steps.
1. Go to ‘All Songs’.
2. Select ‘Options’ > ‘Album Art’.
3. Select ‘Options’ > ‘Change’.
4. Select ‘Graphic Download’.
5. Select ‘Options’ > ‘Exit’.

Solution for backing up & restoring Messages

A breakthrough for Symbian S60 3rd Edition
Solution for backing up and restoring Messages
I am very glad to inform you all, the MOST-WANTED solution for backing and restoring your messages from your memory card. By default in symbian S60 edition phones, when we store messages on memory card, it gets stored in system/mail folder.
The same thing happens on Symbian 3rd edition phones too, but only difference is that the mail folder is buried deep inside the private folder..
What you need to access it..
1) Connect your handset to pc in the “Data transfer” (Mass storage) mode
2) Go to the Private folder on your memory card
3) Open the folders in sequential manner
4) Look for 1000484b (PARENT) folder or like that under which you will find Mail (Child) or mail2 folder, you are looking for.
5) Copy that (PARENT) folder to your PC

Deleting "Stuck" Installer Files

I have seen a problem with “stuck” installer files in S60 3rd Edition phones for a couple of times. The information from Application Manager shows that the applications are not installed. However, they cannot be deleted because there is no Delete menu (see screenshot below). They cannot be re-installed either because it always fails with “Unable to install” message. Those files are basically just stuck there.

From my opinion, it looks like a bug in S60 3rd Edition (not sure if this has been fixed in S60 3rd FP1). I don’t really know how to reproduce this problem, but it has happened to my phones several times. Once, I saw this problem after one application failed to install. In other occasions, I saw this problem after resetting my phone to the default factory settings.

What should we do if we have this kind of “stuck” installer files in S60 3rd Edition? One way is to delete the installer file manually via Windows Explorer. Unfortunately, we cannot use any file manager application because those files are located in a protected folder.

* Firstly, connect your phone to a PC via USB.
* Choose Data Transfer (a.k.a. Mass Storage). Do not select PC Suite because you won’t be able to browse protected folders in PC Suite mode.
* Open Windows Explorer on your PC.
* Go to \private\10202dce on the phone’s folder.
* There, you should be able to find the installer files (.sis). Just remove them using Windows Explorer.

You can also acess & even delete these file using phone just go to file manager

And use Search (find) the folder private
and in that go to the 10202DCE and delete the file which are not installing

[TUTORIAL] Nokia 5500 Sport Tip for saving battery

I 5500, you keep seeing sport icon ruuning in background even when its not being used, consuming the RAM as well as battery at that time.
You can kill can kill this by using FExplorer's Processes view and save these consumptions.
Alternatively, as i had read somewhere on web so i'll just list that here-connect USB to your phone and then to PC & choose data transfer-that closes all the applicationsthough. And you might try opening only useful ap
lications once you disconnect the USB.
