A Few N82 Tips From The EverythingN82.com Forums


I just checked out the forums over at www.everythingn82.com and came across a pretty good post with some cool tips and shortcuts for the Nokia N82.

Here are just a few tips taken from this post at the EverythingN82.com Forums...

*Did you know you can end an active data connection by holding down the Red Button on standby screen?

*Did you know there's a faster way to go back one page in the browser than to use the right soft key? Press 3.

*In gallery if you want to send a file, instead of scrolling through options then send, did you know you can just hit the green button to pop up the send menu?

*Did you know that pressing 5 will open the list of open windows in the browser when 2 or more windows are open?

*Did you know that on S60's in bar form, pressing the left soft key and then * locks the keypad?

Pretty handy right?

Here are a few more tips I'd like to add to this post...

- Holding down the pound key should put the N82 in the "Silent" profile, or silence the phone. This should work on all handsets, but I believe there are a few product codes that don't have this feature.

- When viewing a photo in the Gallery, the 5 key zooms in. You can use the D-pad to scroll around the image, than zoom more by pressing 5 again. The volume keys also do this same function. To zoom back out you push the 0 key. To delete an image quickly, push the "C" button.

- When your done writing your text or email, instead of hitting "options-send", you can just push the green call button.

Do you have any other tips not listed here? Leave a comment to share them.

You can also use "C" 2 delete msgs an files (wd d file manager).

- i use d hash key (#) 2 mark items. Example, i mark multiple images, or multple msgs, then pressing the "C" key wll delete them ol. Or mark several items 2 send via bluetooth.

missing the pencil key on your n82?

We all know the pencil key is very helpful on "copy-paste" situations. With our n82, the pencil key is not present, but the hash key "#" can do the same job. While holding the hask key, pres right,left,up or down of the d-pad to highlight text and the copy/paste option will be available on the left and right soft keys. Very handy on text messages, notes, browser, forums, etc.

N82 is feature pack 1 S60 phone.... it has auto UI rotate like iPhone... thats the reason that some old themes dont work with this handset... try zedge.net to get better themes...

Great piece of software, much better than Handy Taskman. I liked it so much I tried to donate a few $ via PayPal, but that part of the world can only send not receive $.

just a question... when im am texting and i scroll up the text to alter the message, sometimes it highlights the text as im scrolling which means when i go to type something else it deletes the highlighted text. I understand that this is a function which is good but how do i enable/disable it ??? really does my head in sometimes

Mike Macias said...

it scrolls because you are probably holding the pound key. thats the only time it will highlight anything. Maybe your # key is jammed?
