Nokia 3650 – Mobile Phone Information


Nokia 3650

The

Nokia 3650 uses the Nokia Series 60 platform (powered by Symbian OS v6.1), and

is a combined mobile phone, digital camera (with video) and PDA.

Features:

Colour screen, MMS, video camera, MMC

memory slot

The phone uses the same operating system as the Nokia 7650,

but note that unlike the 7650, the 3650 supports MMC card expansion cards, so

it’s possible to store a lot more data on a 3650. The 3650 also has built-in video

software, and is a tri-band phone, so is suitable for use in the US as well as

Europe.#

Nokia 3650 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.
.
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.

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
Can
I use it as a modem?

Yes, using Infrared or
Bluetooth.

  • 3650 modemInfrared
    – 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.

Series 60 reset

The method
of performing a hard-format, i.e resetting it completely to factory
defaults and removing all data, is as follows:

  1. Switch
    off the phone.
  2. Hold
    down the following three buttons: Green (call answer) button,
    * button, and ‘3’ button
  3. While
    holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on
    the phone
  4. 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, see our Series 60 Connectivity section.

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

How
do I install software?

A SIS fileSoftware
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.
  • Memory card readerVia
    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, you’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 ZipManapplication.

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.

  • USB infrared from Maplin 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).
  • Belkin Bluetooth adapter 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 drive 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?
This page on a 3650The
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
MMC card 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
  • 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 sound file, 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.

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:

  1. Sending an image to a PCYou
    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.
  2. You can use the Messaging
    application and email the picture to yourself (or a friend)
  3. 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

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.
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 too much.
Various
3650 passcodes:

Below is
a list of the various code types you may find on the 3650:

Lock code

  • Length: 5 digits
  • Detail: Prevents access to certain functions on the
    phone
  • Set from: Tools > Settings > Security > Phone & SIM
  • Default: The default lock code for Nokia Series 60
    devices is 12345.
  • 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. PUK code help.

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).
