Tutorial on making your own True Tones mp3 format.

MP3 Cutter Joiner
The program i am using here is available as a FREE TRIAL (allows 30 'cut tracks') or the full program is ₤13.55 use your favourite search engine to find it.

Right you have the program so lets load it up.



Clik on File then Add File browse your folders to where your full mp3 track is stored.

Select the mp3 file select Open now you will see your track listed.



OK now we are ready to select the part of the track to make our very own True Tone. Theres a few ways to do this but i suggest the following: -

Play the track all the way through. You will see in the Time column the tracks full time/length is 3:52.
Now we need to select about 10 to 15 seconds of music in order to keep the file size reasonable.

Now then to select that 10 to 15 seconds look above you will see 2 clocks marked with red arrows START and END

You can play the track all the way through and make a note of where you want to START and END or you can simply click on the START clock (during playback to select the start) and END clock (during playback to select the end) you will notice the time will appear next to the clock as above. Note i have selected 13 seconds TOTAL TIME.

Now press Cut and you will see the programme cut the track and automatically open the folder where your CUT file is stored.

Congratulations you now have a cut down ripped mp3 file ready to up to your phone.

NOW you know basicaly know what to do lets look at getting that file size smaller!!

Click on Settings at the top



Now you will notice the above picture is DIFFERENT to yours, this is simply due to the default settings i changed mine.

Just simply click on the drop down box next to channel and select MONO no need for stereo. Now look at the bitrate once more click on the drop down box now this time its set at 128Kbps and goes all the way down to 8Kbps the lower the bitrate the smaller the file but you will suffer quality loss.

Simply try for yourself through trial and error as to which bitrate suits the size of the file and quality wanted /needed.

Installation procedure for DKU-5 cable
       
NOTE:: The installation of the cable crivers must be done before installing the pc suite.
Also do not have the cable plugged in when installing.

Installation::

First install the Connectivity Adapter Cable driver software on your computer from
the CD-ROM supplied in the sales package before installation of Nokia PC Suite.
You can download the latest version of Connectivity Adapter Cable driver
software at http://www.nokia.com.

Loading the CD-ROM on your computer

1. Exit all Windows programs and insert the Connectivity Adapter Cable driver
CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer.
2. If installation does not start automatically, select "Run.." from the "Start"
menu and type "D:\start.exe" (where "D:\" refers to the CD-ROM drive of the
computer ) and press Enter

Installing the driver

1. Follow the on-screen instructions to start an installation wizard, which guides
you through the setup process of the driver.
2. The installation wizard first tells you that DKU-5 will be installed on your
computer. Click "Next" to continue.
3. When the installation has been completed, in some systems the wizard
prompts you to restart your computer. Click "Yes". Note that you must restart
your computer before you can use the program.
4. Remove any disks from their drives, and then click "Finish" to complete the
setup.

For Windows 2000 users
When the cable is connected for the first time, Windows 2000 automatically
locates the drivers and software that you previously installed. If the "Digital
signature not found" message is displayed during the installation process, click
"Yes" to complete the installation.

Q: What size can app/games are?
A: max. 64 KB excepting these phones
The 3125 has a limit of 146KB.
The 3220 has a limit of 128KB.
The 5140 has a limit of 128KB.
The 6170 has a limit of 128KB.

Q: I want install a sis-file, how it's done?
A: You can't. sis-files are especially for phones with Symbian OS.

Q: Where do I get a blank operator logo?
A: Here: http://www.mrzippy.org.uk/funkyfone/blank.nol
Just open the link via your phones browser. The rest is self-explaining.

Series 60:

Q: Can Series 40 Games be played on Series 60 phones?
A: Yes, but they won't be in fullscreen. The game will remain in their original programed size.

Q: I've bought a cable for my phone but it won't work. Why?
A: There are no data-cables. These cables are only for service needs and are not capable to transfer data to your phone. The 7610 is the first Symbian of Nokia which can use a cable (besides of the Communicator - but they are a different story )


Q: Where are my messages saved?
A: If your phone saves them within the phones memory they are in c:\system\mail. If they are saved on the MMC (not on all S60 phones possible) they are in e:\system\mail

Q: I've formatted my MMC with a card reader, now I can't access the card with my phone. What now?
A: You've formatted it with the wrong file system. If you want to reformat it with the card reader, choose FAT16 as files system, not FAT32! Or reformat the MMC with your phone, this way all standard folders will be created too.

Q: How can I copy & paste text?
A: Press and hold down the pencil key. Now you can mark the text by using the direction key. To copy, just press "copy". To insert the text press and hold down the pencil key and press "paste"

Q: Where to put my ringtones?
A: Ringtones should be stored in the "Sounds" folder on your MMC or within the phones memory. You can, if you want, sort them into the two subfolders "Simple" and "Digital".

Q: How do I install an app/ a game?
A: There are many ways. PC Suite bounds sis-files to its installer. You should be able to install them easily by double clicking on the sis-file (a connection should be made already!). Or you can send it over to the phone (IrDA or Bluetooth) and open it and it will install automatically. Or you can upload it with a card reader to the MMC and install it from there by open the file. For this method you need FExplorer or SeleQ to gain full access to the MMC.
The rest will be prompted and is easy to understand.

Q: Which Symbian OS version does my phone use?
A: 3600/3620/3650/3660/7650/N-Gage/N-Gage QD are using v6.1; 6260/6600/6620/6670/7610 are using v7.0s; 6630 uses Symbian OS 8.0

Q: How can I upgrade my Symbian OS to a newer version?
A: You can't.

Q: How do I format my phone?
A: - Normal Reset (*#7780#) : Restores ini files from rom but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc)
- Deep Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.

In both case, the phone will ask you a confirmation and you will have to enter a security code (12345 by default).

Files and applications stored on E: drive are not be affected by these sequences.

For Symbian OS 7 (6260/6600/6620/6670/7610) there is a third method:
Turn phone off, press and hold the green (talk) key on the left + number 3 on the keypad + the * key and then turn the phone back on.

The phone will start the formatting process without confirmation!
Files and applications stored on E: drive are not be affected by this.

Q: How do I get the MAC adress of the bluetooth device of my phone?
A: *#2820#

Q: My phone reacts quite slow, how can I speed it up?
A: You can speed up the phone by setting the time of the "Recent calls register" to one day (30 days by default). It depends on you how important the "Recent calls register" is for you.

Nokia 6230:


Q: When I want to upload something on the MMC I get a "The operation could not be completed" error. How to fix this?
A: Rename the MMC (can be done in the Gallery) and reboot your phone.

Q: Can I use mp3s as ringtones?
A: Yes!

Q: I've got a big movie on my phone and want to fastforward (rewind). How can I do this?
A: You can't.

Q: I've uploaded mp3s to my MMC and arranged them in folders. The phone won't find any of them. Can this be fixed?
A: mp3s have to be in the root of the MMC. Or you define the location of the mp3s before uploading via playlist, so when the phone accesses the playlist, it knows the mp3s are in this specific folder.

(1)What's the difference between the N-Gage and QD?
In order to know their differences, let's compare their specs:

Original N-Gage
- Triband (900/1800/1900)
- 4096 colourscreen
- Stereo (comes with stereo headset)
- Comes with a USB cable, recording cable and adaptor cable (for recording radio/MP3 purposes)
- Built in MP3 player and radio
- side-talking
- Must turn off the phone, remove the battery cover AND battery in order to remove MMC
- 5-way direction pad (CENTER for menu selection)
- Comes with BL-5C battery
- MP3, AAC, MIDI or WAV ringtones
- Great RF

N-Gage QD
- Dualband (850/1900 or 900/1800)
- 4096 colourscreen (brighter than Original N-Gage)
- Mono (comes with dual mono headset)
- Doesn't come with ANY cables
- NO built in MP3 player or radio (will still be able to listen to mp3's thru 3rd party apps)
- NO side-talking
- Hot-swop, easy removal of MMC
- 4-way direction pad with a separate "menu selection" key
- Comes with BL-6C battery
- MIDI or WAV ringtones
- Great RF (better than Original N-Gage if 850 is being used)

(2) Which N-Gage is better?
It's really hard to say because everyone has their own opinions. But if you are looking function-wise the original N-Gage wins out with the stereo support, MP3 ringtones, radio, tri-band and additional cables/recording functions. But the QD counters with its 850 (for those 850 gurus), smaller-size, no side-talking, BL-6C battery(for extra battery life)and the easy removal of MMC.

(3) Can my (input s60 phone here) play N-Gage games? Where/How can I find cracked N-Gage games for my (input s60 phone here)?

Press *#0000# on the main screen for firmware, and *#06# for IMEI.

(5) How do I change my operator logo for my N-Gage/QD?
Download SeleQ or FExplorer from mysymbian.com, access the image thru either of the apps and select "Set as Operator Logo". If that doesn't work, SMS yourself or download an older format logo (black and white), and then save that logo. After that, you should be able to change your operator logo thru SeleQ or FExplorer.

1) Press the application key
