Here this post is submitted in our forum by one of our member Waleed0785:

Based on personal experience and getting
tips from various forums on the Web, I present this list that may be useful for users of SymbianS60 phones N series (N95, N80, N73, N91, N93, N93i, .. etc. ).

>>>My phone is turned on or not on the home screen logo “Nokia” what I can do?

A common problem sometimes just because a problem occurred after installing an
application or by other circumstances, what is certain is that if there is a way to fix it, starting from a Hard Reset

Pressing the keys at the same time:
- 3 – Call key – (Green) – Power key
To achieve this the phone to make a full reset, this means they will lose all programs installed on
the phone, Contacts, Calendar, etc…. only the files on the memory card were intact, some apps that are installed on the memory
card is installed automatically after you start the phone .. but it is a significant loss given that our phone was used again

>>>I installed an
application and not working properly, Why?
[ad#goog]
The reasons for which an
application will not work properly you may be several.

The first thing to check is whether the application is compatible with your phone, remember that, for example applications
Symbian S60v3, are not compatible with previous versions. (The same version of software installed on the Nokia N90 can not install it on the N80, for example).

>>>
My phone displays SYSTEM ERROR, what should I do?

Turn your phone into a “fail safe”.

This is done by pressing the “pen” while leaving the device and turn tight until you ask for the PIN.

Remove the phone’s memory
card, Turn it off and turn it on again.If your phone works fine, the problem is in the memory
card. Formattingthe
card and the problem is very likely that this resolved.

Removing the
card even if the problem persists, you have toreformat
the phone. There are several types and formatting codes areperformed by entering the mobile phone keypad:

Codes:

– * # 7780 # -> Restore the original settings of
the phone
- * # 7370 # -> Soft format, but restores the software keeps your settings, contacts, messages, etc..

>>> My memory
card is locked, how did you fix this?

MMC seeks to store the file on the C: drive using any file manager (SeleQ, Fileman, FexPlorer, ProfiExplorer.) Etc.

Rename the file and put the extension. “Txt”, and the password will be open inside.

Another option is to format the memory
card with a
card reader on your PC. (This will remove all data from the memory
card).

>>> Memory “in use”
My phone is full What happens?

Probably you have some
application is open in the background. ”

To test simply to stop pressing the “Menu” and you open the listof running applications. Select the
application you want to quit andpress “C”.

>>> How to turn your phone into a “fail”?

To start
the phone in “fail safe” you have to press the “pen”while turning
the phone and let it down until you ask for the PIN code.

>>>Why can not I send files via bluetooth?

The new firmware updates can not send files to be “protected” (SIS and JAR) via bluetooth. To do this you have 2 options:

1 – Rename the file you want to send the extension and change them to gif, jpg, etc..

2 – Try using “ProfiExplorer” or “x-plorer. It is a file managertype FexPlorer “jumping protection and allows you to send such filesvia bluetooth.

>>> Why can not I uninstall an
application?

Normally, restarting
the phone to solve the problem.
If even so, could not uninstall the
application, probably because the program is in use.

Instálate in a mobile
application that lets you finish running processes (AppMan, for example).

Terminate processes that are running the
application you want and you can uninstall uninstall smoothly.

installed an
application (TomTom, for example) and the galleryof images I have been filling this
application. Can I delete them? Arethey necessary?

Normally, all images are copied to install an
application are required and can not be erased.

The solution so you do not go in the gallery is very simple.Simply dial the images do not want to be out in the gallery as”hidden.”

You can do it from Windows and a
card reader:
Right mouse button over the image and selecting “Properties” and check “Hidden” in “Attributes”
You can also do so from the same phone with a file manager (FexPlorer, ProfiExplorer.), Putting the attribute “Hidden” file.

>>>The PC Suite does not connect me with the mobile what?

The first option is to uninstall the PC Suite and reinstall it.
If you still not connect, try to put this command in Windows:

- Regsvr32.exe% Windir% \ System32 \ Ole32.dll
(Go to “Start / Run” and the window that you type this command leaves)
Often, the PC Suite, when installed, this book does not register correctly and connect it to your PC with your phone.

Hope it will help some of you..

Flurry Beta Tag removed after 300 developers use Flurry Analytics in first 60 days

[ad#goog]

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26, 2009 – Flurry, a cross-platform mobile application analytics provider, rang in the New Year with over 300 developers using its free service within the first 60 days of launching its Beta.  Today Flurry is making available its free service to all iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Java ME developers as well as providing a demo with live data for developers to preview the service.

With new markets like the App Store reporting over 15,000 available games and applications, developer competition for consumers is fierce.  Flurry’s easy-to-integrate technology allows developers to gather live consumer usage data to improve their products, increase user retention and compete more effectively in these new markets.

“Rapid adoption of Flurry Analytics validates we’re solving a significant pain point for game and application developers.  The response has exceeded our own expectations” said Flurry CEO, Simon Khalaf.  “With more platforms supported than any other mobile analytics provider – and new features being added all the time – Flurry offers the most complete solution on the market.”

During its recent Beta, Flurry stress-tested its service for aggressive and reliable scaling.  “As a company whose legacy includes handling millions of mobile emails, we are using our experience to smoothly scale our back-end in order to satisfy the sharp demand for Flurry Analytics” said cofounder and CTO, Sean Byrnes.  “Flurry Analytics has already supported millions of user sessions and has been put through high volume testing to prepare for its next phase of expansion.”

Among the most powerful new features available is the ability for developers to track custom user events within games and applications.  Similar to Google Analytics, but for mobile applications, developers can monitor custom-defined user actions within their applications to better understand how their products are used and where to make improvements.  Comparing user behavior and application performance across different versions enables teams to perform reliable A/B testing.

Some of reader has asked this question many time that how to apply an .app file to an installed application. Here is guide to apply .app file correctly.
Short Info..

[ad#chi60]

.APP file – it is not an installer that you will install to ur mobile.
If we can see some execution file in our windows in “.EXE”. We use it to run programs,
for example, Explore ur C:/Programfiles/ and open any folder you like, you can see there that there’s an .exe file.
[ad#co-1]
if you click it, you will be able to open that Application.
Like in our Symbian Phones, .exe file is replaced as .app file.
And .app file is available to register(cr4ck) some applications and games.

i hope you get what i mean..

So here’s how you do with the file..

1. First you will need a File Explorer such as FEplorer, Profiexplorer, Fileman, etc.
install any of this ‘coz you will need this through the process.

All apps mentioned are available to download easily.
FExplorer 1.12 is suggested.
[ad#goog]
2. If ever you download an app that comes with .APP file, first install the .SIS file onto ur mobile.
after installing, if you open the app you can get some registration reminder, so here it is..

3. Send the .APP file to ur Mobile(lots of ways, tru BT, IR or Card Reader)

3.1 Tru IR or BT – Send it once, but do not open it as it will come as text message, pop up
will come saying “Unknown File Format”. Just go to ur File Explorer. At the root, you can
see [Inbox], Open it and you can see there the .APP file that you’ve sent click on the Option>Edit>Copy then go to X:/System/Apps/ the folder of the app[for example CallRecorder].
at the folder click again Option>Edit>Paste, and it will ask you if you want to override existing, just click yes.
After pasting, go to the application you just modified and see if theres any pop up for registering that app. If none, go to ur Messages Inbox and delete the messages that comes from ur IR or BT.

That’s it! so be done..

3.2 Tru Card Reader – First install the app on ur mobile and choose Memory to store that app. This option is applicable only for those who likes to install apps or games to their Memory Card.
Just Simply insert ur Memory Card into Card Reader. Open the drive that contains the file and to the DIR of the app you will copy and paste the .APP file.
For Example CallRecorder. Copy the .app file from ur computer and paste it at Y:/System/Apps/CallRecorder. and it will ask you if you want to override existing, just click yes.

That’s it again..

Note: X – means where you install the Apps or Games only in C: or E:
Y – means the drive you open ur Memory Card

Hope you find it usefull and easy to understand.

Hint: If you use self-signed certificate, make sure that your application uses unprotected UID, i.e. 0xA0000000 – 0xAFFFFFFF. If you use protected UID (0×20000000 – 0x2FFFFFFF) or legacy UID (0×10000000 – 0x1FFFFFFF), you will get this message.

Hint: This message may come up when your installation file (.sis/.sisx) copies files to other application’s private folder, i.e. \private\uid. Note that Symbian 9 introduces data caging concept, it means you don’t have access to other application’s private folder.

Message: Expired Certificate

Hint: Do this…
Set the phone date back by 7-8months..

Message: Update error

Hint: Uninstall any previous version of the application, then switch on/off the phone and install again
