TIPS Code SF002

Reinstall All App/Game On Ur Phone
=============================
1. Format ur Memory Card , using card reader more faster.
2. ReFormat ur phone drive (drive c and d). To do it there are two ways :
- Use secret code *#7370# or
- On Phone switch off , press and hold 3 button (Dial,*,3) , and switch ur phone ON , wait until format screen show and release the 3 button , and follow the instruction on phone until format phone complete.
3. Reinstall all ur app and game.

Note : Before Reformat Phone Drive
Make sure to backup all ur contact and data that store in phone drive , becouse reformat phone drive make all ur contact and data gone.

Note : Why we need to reformat phone drive ?
This is becouse some app/game that u have before on ur phone , store their data/library file/installation configuration file/license file/security file in phone drive (drive c or d) , so when u reinstall ur app/game that store in Memory Card , all that files that i mention above still in phone drive. This is why phone drive must reformat to remove all that files.

thank you gsoft for giving good information. i think that solution is better than i go to the phone shop because we didn't know what will happen to our phone after we gave it to the shop assistant. may shop asst. will put virus inside our phone and 2ndly we can save our money.

[gsoft]

Ok after having drawn a blank on my first question here is another. If I have an MMC that is corrupted and my 6260 is faling to format it, would it be worth trying a USB card reader? I can get one cheap, but don't want to throw away more money if it won't format the card.

Bendz

Memory Card (like MMC , RS-MMC , Memory Stick , Compaq Flash) can be reformat with using CARD READER. Using Card Reader to reformat Memory Card is the faster way.

Note = Memory Card Password Protection
---------------------------------------------------
U can reformat Memory Card with Card Reader using USB connection with PC, only if ur Memory Card not protected by phone password, becouse if it does , ur Memory Card cant be read/write/format by Card Reader, so before using Card Reader to reformat Memory Card make sure ur Memory Card not protected by password.

Note = Format File System
---------------------------
And remember format Memory Card only using File System FAT not FAT 32 or NTFS. Becouse phone only recognize File System FAT.

[gsoft]

TIPS Code SF001

Backup ALL ur APPS/GAMES
=======================

This tips only if ur apps/games install in Memory Card.

Device needed :
1. PC/MAC
2. Card Reader

Setting PC/MAC :
1. Folder/File setting must be set to see hidden and system files.

To Backup Apps/Games
==================

2. Explorer main root Memory Card
3. Choose to Select All Folder and Files
4. Choose to Copy
5. Make a new folder in ur PC Hard Drive (like ...\MMC Backup\)
6. Open that new folder
7. Paste all Folder and Files there
8. Backup is Complete

This TIPS much usefull, expecially before u install new app/game on ur phone. Becouse always happen when u install new app/game into ur phone sometimes ur phone hung. So if ur phone hung u dont have to reinstall all ur app/game again, just do this way :

1. Insert ur Memory Card into Card Reader
2. Choose Format Drive Memory Card - dont forget to set system file is FAT
3. After Format Complete, copy all folders and files that u bakcup in backup folder into ur Memory Card root
4. Insert ur Memory Card into ur phone
5. Switch ON ur phone
6. See and watch while phone run start up screen, if there is a message error - wait until phone in standby menu - rebuild ur 3rd party app (code is *#7780#) - and restart ur phone. And if there is not message error u dont have to rebuild 3rd party app.

==========================
OS Symbian support two Language :
1. C++ Language
2. JAVA Language

Even JAVA made by C++ Language but JAVA have a different platform, that is why JAVA called Language too.

2. File Pack JAVA (.jar) or File Pack JAVA Code (.jad)

.jar/.jad is a pack file using JAVA Language to made its source code app.

[gsoft]

TIPS Code SF005

Install App/Game .sis
=======================
Becouse OS Symbian just like OS Windows 95 - using file system FAT , u can install app/game with copy all app/game files and place them into right folder - and app still can run. This way not for end user - becouse if u want remove this app/game u can not see this app in the list app/game install in App Manager - u must remove it with the same way u install it - find all app/game files and delete them. For every member that have not experiance about phone system files and app/game files never try this way - so much trouble will happen next. Use the old way - send .sis file to ur phone and install it - and the app/game will be add in the list of file install in app Manager - so if u want to remove/uninstall it , just choose remove it and app/game will be uninstall automatically.

Note = Unpack .sis
=========
.sis if pack file installer , to unpack it use app UnMake sis (for PC) to extract execute file/data files/resource files.

Good day GSOFT
Need help!!

Problem: -
when I receive a sms message in n7610. “App. Close ncnlist” pops out.
-Instead of reading the sms in the main menu I have to go in “messaging” before I could read my message
-and in the message menu, usually the latest message is in the top row, but with this problem its in the button part.

What should I do?? Thanks for the help

App Closed nclist means inbox failed to reindex ur messages, that why ur latest msg put in last index not in first index.

TIPS One
----------------------
Remember what ur latest app that u install into ur Phone. If that app for SMS/MMS Control , try to remove it and see if ur problem solve. If still not , look all ur app , if there is app for SMS/MMS Control - try to remove them all - and see if the problem solve. If still not continue to read TIPS Two for solution.

TIPS Two
-----------------------
If ur phone have not any app for SMS/MMS control or u have already removed all ur additional app for SMS/MMS Control and the problem not fix yet. Try to replace where ur msg store. Like do one of these :
1. If now ur phone save msg in Phone Memory (drive c) - change the msg setting to save msg in Memory Card OR
2. If now ur phone save msg in Memory Card (drive e) - change the msg setting to save msg in Phone Drive
When u change msg setting - if ur phone ask for copy original msg and keep all ur msg - choose NO.
Then look again - is the problem fix ? If No continue read TIPS Three for other option

TIPS Three
-----------------------
If both TIPS above not working - the only solution is Reformat Again Ur Phone and Reinstall again all ur apps/games. To do it read my TIPS above (TIPS Code SF002)

good day gsoft

i think i found out the problem re the : APP CLOSED NCNLIST, but dont know how to solve it.

heres the situation:
-when a sms comes in,
- when i open my fe explorer n go to: C\nokia, at the buttom part i can see:
StarterMonLog.txt( with notepad logo)
- when i save or delete it the problem would be gone, but when a new sms comes in, and i go back to C\nokia, there it is again.
- i try to open it, i can see it some kind of notes attachment.

maybe the solution is i must default it to "off" or something, but i dont know what and how to do it.

i hope you could help me again.

thanks a lot

Do u have idea what app belongs that file ?

Can U give me ur list app/game that u ever install even u have removed them ? So i can check what app belongs that file.

U said that file have icon NotePad - so my opinion is that file is a data not a app/service background. And when u delete it and the file there again when u recieved msg , my opinion : there is a backservice run in ur phone made that file. Find that back service. U can find it in c:\system\program\ and e:\system\program - if u find it remove/delete that service (just like delete file) - and see what app/game in ur phone not run well - if u find one , remove that app/game from ur phone - then check again is ur problem fix ? If Yes or No - let me know.
