Not enough memory to run help files

Just made an interesting discovery. When the internal memory is lower than the estimated 45 Mb of memory for your Nokia S60 3rd Edition Smartphone, you'll not be able to run the help files. I accidentally discovered this when I happened to remove some applications from the internal memory to the point I have around 45 Mb of free internal memory. Try it for those who needs the help files.

Digital camera of phone

When taking picture with a camera phone, it is usually best to leave all the settings at "Auto" though you can change the settings because the picture taken at "Auto" settings usually turns out to be better than other settings.

Re-map the key on your Nokia smart phone

You can re-map the key on your Nokia smart phone. For example, for those Nokia smart phones that don't come with the "Pencil" key, you can map, say, the "Multimedia" key to the "Pencil" key. In this way, you'll have the "Pencil" function by pressing the "Multimedia" key. Enjoy.

Carriage return on your editor

Here's a shortcut to effecting a carriage return, i.e. going to the next line, on your Nokia mobile phone: press [0] three times.

Try it. It is easier than going to the symbol to insert a carriage return.
