FAQs

Operating system	The Nokia 3650 uses the Symbian Operating System. To check the version number of the operating system on your phone, type *#0000# as if it were a phone number. The handset can be upgraded to the latest version of the operating system at approved Nokia Service Centres - If the phone is still under warranty, this will be done free-of-charge. The process takes up to an hour, but service centre policies vary depending on how busy they are, and whether they have the reprogramming equipment onsite. Note that all data is lost when you upgrade, so it's vital to do your own backup first. Online upgrades are not available.
Accessories?	There's a wide range of accessories, including spare batteries, cases, chargers, in-car kits, hands-free units, data cables and fascias, available at Carphone Warehouse and MobileShop. If you're looking for authentic Nokia spares and accessories, use the Nokia UK Store.
Sorting of Contacts	There doesn't appear to be a way of changing the sort order from 'Surname Firstname' to 'Firstname Surname'. Many users have tried to find such an option, but it appears there isn't one. You may like to try NameSwap, available from http://my-symbian.com/s60/software/applications.php?faq=2&fldAuto=7
Hotmail and AOL access?	Hotmail and AOL use proprietary email systems, as opposed to the more common POP email systems - this makes it tricky to access mail on a Series 60 device. For email on the move, consider using a standard POP3 provider such as BT Yahoo (see setup details) that offers free email accounts that can be configured on a Series 60 phone. If you really want to use Hotmail or AOL, see our Series 60 FAQ on this subject.
Default Contacts	For contacts with lots of phone numbers, note that you can set one default mobile, work and home number. Select Options - Defaults, then set the 'Phone number' to the numbers as appropriate. They'll then get a little icon on the left hand side of the contacts menu.
How do I turn reports off?	Messaging \| Options \| Settings \| Short message \| Receive report: Yes / No
Better quality photos?	We've not tried this one, but if the write-up is anything to go by, PhotoAcute is the answer - offering megapixel resolution from your 3650
Can I use it as a modem?	Yes, using Infrared or Bluetooth. Infrared - The 3650 has a 'Modem' option under 'Connectivity'. Selecting this option allows another device (such as a Pocket PC or Laptop) to connect to the Internet using infrared. If the equipment you wish to connect to doesn't have infrared, consider a 'USB-IRDA Adaptor' from Maplin Electronics (Cat no: RV88V). You can also use the handset as a modem from a Bluetooth PDA, or a PC with Bluetooth connectivity (such as a Belkin USB Bluetooth adapter)
How do I hard reset a 3650?	We accept no responsibility for use of this code. It is undocumented, not supported by Nokia and should be used at your own risk. The soft-format code for Series 60 phones is #7370# . You enter this code as you would enter a phone number in the Phone application. It performs a format of the Internal drive - All data will be lost if you use this feature. The method of performing a hard-format, i.e resetting it completely to factory defaults and removing all data, is as follows: Switch off the phone. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (call answer) button, button, and '3' button While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone When the message 'Formatting' appears on the screen, release all of the buttons Note that you shouldn't switch the phone off or remove the battery when performing either of these operations, and it's advised that the handset has a reasonable amount of battery charge before performing a format/reset.
Email from your 3650	If you're looking to use your 3650 for sending and receiving e-mail, consider taking out an account with free provider, BT Yahoo. For details of connectivity on a 3650, click here.
How do I use WAP / What is 'Services'?	The 3650 does not have a web browser, but does have a WAP browser, which can be accessed via the Services menu. For details of Wap on a 3650, and setting up the Wap browser, see our 3650 WAP page
Email problems	If attempting to retrieve email gives you a "General: System error", make sure you have "Gateway IP address" set to 0.0.0.0. (Tools \| Settings \| Connection \| Access points) This message also appears if you are trying to connect to an email account over a WAP connection (e.g. trying to connect to BT Yahoo's mailbox while dialed up over o2's WAP service). Also, see our 3650 connectivity page
Where can I find 3650 software?	If you're looking to enhance your Symbian phone by adding new software, take a look at Handango for a great collection of add-on software, utilities, applications and games for this phone. For ringtones, wallpapers and Java games, try Jamster
How do I install software?	Software for Symbian OS phones is normally supplied using a Symbian installation file (with a .sis extension). This is a single file that contains the components needed to get a piece of software installed and ready to run. A SIS file can be run on a Symbian phone (e.g. from the Inbox or via a file manager. It can also be run via the PC connectivity solution that was supplied on the CD with the handset. Assuming you have a SIS file on your PC/Mac (either downloaded from the Internet or on a CD), the ways to install a SIS file onto your handset are as follows: Beaming - Beam the file to your handset from your PC using Bluetooth or IR. If you don't currently have the ability to beam files to the handset via Bluetooth or infrared (either from another handheld device or from a PC), then you may wish to purchase an IRDA adapter for your PC (this means you'll be able to install software, backup and synchronise data between phone and PC) - See our Series 60 PC connectivity page for more. Install via PC - Assuming you've installed the PC connectivity suite that was supplied with your phone, look for the "Install software" option. You'll need to have the handset connected to the PC via serial, Bluetooth or infrared for this to work. - See our Series 60 PC connectivity page for more. By email - The alternative, is to email the file that you're trying to install, typically a SIS (Symbian installation file) to your own email account, and then use your phone to logon to your email (details) and download the SIS file as an attachment into your phone's Messaging Inbox. Via memory card - The 3650 has an MMC memory card slot, so you can transfer a SIS file to the handset via this card slot if you have access to a PC MMC memory card writer. To do this, copy the SIS file onto an MMC card via the writer connected to your PC, and then insert the MMC card into your handset. Then, yuo'll need to use a file manager application to browse to the location of the SIS file you've copied. Highlight and run the SIS file, and the installation process should start. Once installed, you can delete the SIS file from the MMC card if required. The 3650 doesn't have a built-in file manager application, so you'll need do download and install one - file managers are available from handango.com. If you've downloaded an application and find you can't install it - make sure the file you're trying to install is a SIS (Symbian Installation) file. Many files are distributed in a compressed form (using the ZIP file format). If the file has a .ZIP extension, you'll need to unzip it first. You can do this with a PC application such as WinZip, or on the phone itself using the ZipMan application.
How do I connect my 3650 to my PC?	The 3650 can connect to a PC via Bluetooth or infrared. Here is a summary of how to connect your 3650 to your PC. IR connection. From the 3650, select 'Connect \| Infrared' to turn the phone's IR on. Line up the phone with the PC infrared port, and Windows should detect the 3650. Then, use the Nokia Connectivity package to select the file you want to send to the 3650. For more on IR, see our PC connectivity page There are several IR adapters available, including the pictured 'USB-IRDA Adaptor' from Maplin Electronics (Cat no: RV88V). Bluetooth connection. From the 3650, select 'Connect \| Bluetooth'. Turn Bluetooth 'On', then move to the second tab by moving the joystick to the right. This should show you all Bluetooth devices in range. If your PC isn't shown, select 'Options \| New paired device' and let the 3650 search for the PC connection. When the phone and PC are paired, use the Nokia Connectivity package to select the file you want to send to the 3650. If your PC doesn't support Bluetooth, then you can add it cheaply and easily using a USB Bluetooth adapter. We recommend the Belkin USB Bluetooth adapter available for around £15 from amazon.co.uk. For details of Bluetooth, see our Bluetooth page, and for help connecting, see our PC connectivity page Memory card reader. If you don't want to beam files from your PC to the phone, another option is to make use of the MMC card slot in the 3650. Get hold of a Memory card reader for around £20 and copy files onto an MMC card plugged into your PC. Find out more on our Memory card page. Files beamed to the 3650 can be found in the Messaging application, in the Inbox folder
Can I browse the web from my 3650?	The 3650 comes with a Wap browser that is capable of viewing web content designed for use over the Mobile Internet. If you're looking for HTML web access, take a look at Doris Browser. This is a small Java application that can be evaluated for free for ten days. Once installed, you can find it from the Tools \| Apps icon. The browser supports image rendering, access to secure sites as well as viewing Word and PDF documents - and it all fits in under 50k. As an alternative, the fully-featured Opera browser is available for the Series 60. and can be downloaded from here.
How do I silence the camera click?	Select the 'Silent' profile, or turn off the 'Warning tones' from Profiles
How do I delete message reports?	It's possible to set up Messaging to send you a 'delivered receipt' when a text message gets delivered ("Settings \| Short message Receive report". Receipts are stored in the Log application. It's not possible to remove individual items from the Log application, the entries will disappear when they are older than the "Log duration" setting. ("Log \| Options \| Settings"). There is a 'Clear log' option in the "Log \| Options" menu, which will remove all log entries, including the call costs and durations.
My phone's memory is too full to be used	We sometimes hear from users of Series 60 handset users stating that they've filled up their memory, and the memory is so full that they can't get in to delete any files. We've not had any experience of this, but the best thing to try is to restart the phone (by taking the battery out), and then starting the phone in "safe mode". This causes the phone to load as few apps as possible at startup. To do this, hold down the ABC key, and while holding it down, start up the phone. first thing to try is a soft-reset of the phone, by pulling the battery out for a minute. When the phone restarts, it should close down all running applications, which may free up some space. As a very last resort, you can format the phone and start again - by entering the reset code detailed above - This will remove all data, and you'll have to restore your phone's information from a backup. If you still can't get into the phone, the final option appears to be to take the phone to the nearest Club Nokia shop (or your retailer), who should be able to re-flash the phone to factory settings.
Extra memory for 3650	The Nokia 3650 supports MMC cards for memory expansion. Nokia can sell you their own MMC cards, but their prices for Nokia-branded cards are higher than for standard cards. We've not heard of any incompatibility with non-Nokia cards, so it's worth shopping around to get a third-party card. Here are a few online options: Amazon - Always a good choice for reliable delivery at good prices Jessops - Stockists of low-priced memory cards and accessories. Worth a look as their own brand of cards, for photographic use, can be cheaper than those on PDA sites TIP eBay.co.uk - Bid for new cards at low prices! For more details, see our Memory Card page
Can I use the 3650 in the States?	Yes. The 3650 is a tri-band phone operating on EGSM900/1800 (Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific), and GSM1900 (USA, Canada, South America). There should be no problem using the 3650 with network operators in these countries. Roaming restrictions from your network operator may prevent use of some services in other countries.
How do I install ringtones?	3650 supports playback of .mid or .wav files, and use of these file formats as ringtones. To use such a soundfile, beam or email the file to your 3650. It will then appear in the Messaging Inbox. Open the message and select 'Options \| Save'. Then, from 'Profiles', select a profile and set the 'Ringing tone' to the new file. For more on ringtones, see the mobile phone FAQ
How do I get to the ringtones settings?	Go to Profiles, select which profile you're in (if you're not sure, it's probably 'General'), press 'Options', 'Personalise', then press on the 'Ringing tone' option. Scroll up or down, and press 'Select' on the tone you want.
Receive faxes on your mobile	If you need to receive faxes, but don't have access to a fax machine, consider Mobile Fax - this is a small application for Series 60 phones that supports sending and receiving of faxes. For more details of this clever package, see Mobile Fax. Alternatively check out how you can send and receive faxes by email, with efax.com.
How do I enable Auto Keylock?	Surprisingly, the Nokia 3650 doesn't come with an automatic key lock that switches on after a certain period of time to prevent accidental keypresses - however, third-party application Handy Keylock is available to fill this gap. The functionality is also included as part of Psiloc Extended Profiles application.
How do share my pictures with others?	Once you have taken a picture on the 3650, there are three ways to get the files from your phone to other people or computers: You can copy it to your PC with the Nokia software supplied on the CD (see above). Depending on what you have connected to your computer, you can use Infrared or Bluetooth. Set your PC to receive files (using the IR or Bluetooth software supplied with your adapter), select the photo to send (from Images), then from the Options menu, select Send. You can use the Messaging application and email the picture to yourself (or a friend) Send the picture to another mobile using MMS. Costs of sending pictures by MMS differ depending on which network operator you're with. Take a look at our MMS page for more.
Changing the default picture	To change the default wallpaper image used in the phone application, do the following: Press Menu Go to Tools \| Settings \| Phone \| Standby mode Press the joystick on the "Background image" option. From the "Yes / No" option, select "Yes". You're now able to select from an image in your images folder
Who's calling?	A great feature of Series 60 phones is the ability to add a thumbnail to a contact. Take a picture of a friend with the camera, then open the person's contact, edit it, and add the image as a thumbnail. The photos are in JPG format, so you can use images from digital cameras or scanned images. Build up a mini-library of pictures, and get a name and face to appear when a call comes in. Mobile phones identify callers using a service called CLI. For more details, see our CLI page Another common question we get asked, is from users asking if it's possible to get to see a bigger photo of the caller while the phone's ringing. There's nothing built-in to support this, but a third party application is available to fill the gap - Full Screen Caller. A free trial of this software is available from www.handango.com If you're finding that only the person's number is being displayed even though you have the name entered in Contacts, this is probably because you have the number in the phone twice (perhaps once on the phone memory and once on the SIM card - in this case, the phone doesn't know which entry to use, so defaults to neither - Check Contacts > Options > SIM Directory.
What's my 3650's serial number?	Enter '*#06#' for your handset's serial number (known as the IMEI) - useful if your phone is stolen
Can I play MP3 files on my phone?	We're quite keen on the application UltraMP3! , which has a built-in playlist editor
Data conversion	For information on converting your Contacts, Calendar and documents for viewing on your phone, see our Conversion page for some general guidance.
What is the difference with a 7650	The 3650 uses the Series 60 Operating System, as with the Nokia 7650, but the 3650 has some additional features, such as: built-in video capture, an MMC slot for external memory, and it is tri-band, suitable for use in the US.
FM radio for my 3650?	Some Nokia devices come with a built-in FM radio, but the Nokia 3650 does not. We're often asked whether software is available to add a radio to their phone. Unfortunately, it's not that simple, as it's not just a software issue. Phones that have built-in radios contain dedicated hardware in the phone to do this (an FM RF tuner)... and the 3650 doesn't have that. If you're really desperate to listen to radio from your handset, note that it is possible to listen to streaming audio over the Internet via GPRS (using an application such as Avec Radio), although don't expect the results to be up to much! There are some Nokia headsets available with an FM radio in the lead, but we can't find one that works with the 3650. Best bet is to consider a small separate FM radio, such as the Mikomi portable radio from Argos , which is small enough to carry around, and capable of good FM reception on the move.
Travel news on the move	Traffic-i is a dedicated application that lets you receive live road traffic information from the Trafficmaster network direct on your 3650 over GPRS. Find out about road issues in your area, plus an indication of the speed of traffic on motorways and major A roads. For more on this application, how to set it up, and details of using this on the move, see our dedicated Traffic-i page For more information on mobile travel news, see our Travel page or our PDA-friendly Mobile Travel page.

Lost? - If you've changed this code and forgotten it - you will need to visit a Nokia authorised service center, who will be able to reset the lock code for you. PIN code Length: 4 digits Detail: This is an optional 4 digit code to protect your SIM Set from: Tools > Settings > Security > Phone & SIM Lost? - If you keep trying, you'll eventually get locked out and need to contact your network operator for a PUK code (see below) PUK code Length: 8 digits Detail: You'll be asked for this 8 digit code if you've entered the wrong SIM code more than the allowed number of times. You'll need to contact your network operator to get this lock lifted. Wallet Code Detail: This alphanumeric code is used to gain access to the secure data store for the Wallet application, where you can save bank and credit card information, plus other private data, securely. Lost? - If you've forgotten the wallet code, enter the following string as a telephone number: #7370925538# - this will allow you to delete the existing wallet and create a new wallet code. You will be prompted for the phone's lock code to proceed (Normally 12345, unless you've change it). Network locking code* If your phone was fixed to work on a specific network (for example, Orange), this lock may prevent you from using another SIM in the handset. You may see "SIM card rejected" or "SIM card unaccepted". This lock can be lifted for you by contacting the network operator in question (there may be a fee for this).
