Hey guys, starting today, I'll be doing quick posts to share you some tips and tricks that I have learned (and will be learning). These random tips can be helpful for some, and a refresher for others.
Ok then, to start off, dude - you know that,
- a way to find out if the N82 you're buying from a store is really brand new is to check it's "life-time" (that is the total amount of time the device has been used to call). To do this, go to stand-by screen and dial *#92702689# - Same goes with other nokia phones I suppose. Source here...
- in Multimedia Menu, each tiles can be easily accessed by pressing numbers 1-7 on your keypad. I don't use this animated menu that much aside from tabbed browsing but if you're a certified MM user, this shortcut comes handy. Saves a couple of key presses when switching from one tile to another.
- on stand by screen, pressing and holding down the right soft key will activate voice command wherein you can easily change your current profile or start an application or a phone call. You can set voice commands for your profiles, call mailbox, bluetooth, camera and other installed applications on Tools > Utilities > Voice comm.
- you can always lock your keypad anytime and on any screen, even during a game or a phone call, by pressing the power button briefly, then selecting Lock Keypad. You can also select Lock Phone to password protect your device while not in use.
- you can record phone calls for later reference. During a phone call, hit Menu on your keypad, select Applications > Media > Recorder. Select Options > Record Sound Clip to record the current phone call.
- the code to get your N82's wlan mac address,*#62209526#, is the same as *#mac wlan# It's easier to remember. A cool tip from Jonathan's comment on the article.
- a faster way to set up an alarm is just start pressing a number while the clock application is open. This shortcut saves you 2 keypresses so that you don’t need to press “options” and “new quick alarm.” Tip from The Nokia Blog.
- Same as the clock alarm tip, on the calendar application, quickly add new Meeting entries by just pressing your number keypad. This works on Month, Week and Day Views. On To-do View, a "to-do" entry is prompted instead. You can also shift calendar views easily by pressing * on your keypad. Pressing # on the other hand brings you to the current date.
Not much of a quick post today, eh :P ? Expect more tips to come soon.. If you have some up your sleeves, share with us :-).
