For example if you want to open the folder or app thats on the top left, you'd press 1, for the folder/app on the top right you'd press *, for anything between those its either 2 or 3.. for the bottom right app/folder it'd be 0 etc.. do you get it?

To open A you'd press 1, 2 for B, 3 for C, and * for D, 4 for E, 5 for F, yada yada..

This is fantastic! Thank you!
I wonder, how do you instruct teh browser to "Open in new Window/tab?

[super_dave]

Hi andrybong -

Not sure why but holding down the # key to switch from general to silent does not work on my e71. I'm sure it is user error but either way I'm stuck. When I press the # key from the home screen it activates the search window and all I get is ##########. As far as I know the phone does not switch from general to silent. Can you help me?

[xhg00]

Dave, it may just be a confidence thing. Hold the key down and close your eyes, yes you get ##### but also, suddenly, a message that you are in silent!

[ncoreys28]

I dont know The same thing happens with me when pushing pound. It doesnt go to silent.

[fdilbar]

Thanks buddy! I really appreciate!

[mjdavidson]

I'd love to know the trick that gets the E71 to show you the name of a known SMS sender rather than just their number... I've got duplicates in Outlook & presume when sync'd it cant decide which name to show me - unlike every Nokia phone and Windows Mobile device I've had in the past. Having to cut and paste the incoming number into 'Search' to find out who its from is a real pain - any shortcuts??

[colasin]

is there a "number lock" function?

[paulw]

Re Number lock

Press the function key twice.

Hi Many thanks for this. One more information needed-- in the total call duration- if i have recieved calls for 50 hours and made calls also for 50 hours--- then instead of showing total duration as 100 hours it shows as 00 hours. i mean the counter after 99.99 hours again goes to 00. how do i rectify this.
or like in nokia e51-- there was an optoin of pressing *#92702689# and it gave the total duration. Any such trick for e71.

[malong335]

Thanks for the tips.

FYI - using # doesn't switch mine to silent either.

Thanks andrybong! This is very helpful.

Couple of questions:
1. Is there any easy way to lock the keyboard/phone?
2. This is little off topic but related to locking - in Security settings, max minutes before the phone can be locked is 20 - isn't that a very small number? I prefer something like 60 mins. Any way of doing this?

[donny1]

Hi Andrybong,

You seem very knowledgable re the E71.
My new E71 arrived yesterday and I bluetoothed all contacts across from my venerable N70.

However the Contact Groups did not migrate across,
as I have many contacts, Groups is now very important,
how can I bring the contacts across WITH THEIR ASSOCIATED GROUP INDEX?

[paulw]

"Is there any easy way to lock the keyboard/phone?"

In the Home screen, menu button and then function key

[andrybong]

Hi donny1, unfortunately It wasn't me, I found all these tricks in a forum, but I don't remember which one and that's why I did not put the link.

You have to sync all your contacts in your computer, but let me search more about this and I reply you.

Open in New Window: Fn Ctrl N doesn't work. But Good idea.

There are 3 really frustrating things about the browser:

- Can't open in new Tab/Window unless the page itself contains the code (ie IE6 behaviour)

- Can't select sections and then copy (nb Fn, Ctrl+V (Paste) does work)

- Can't read or copy address of current page

Anyone found a way round any of these?

Thanks paulw! I was desparately looking for this.

[VincE71]

None. Just download and install Opera Mobile. It has all the features you're looking for. It's free and available at Ovi.com.

You had to wait for more than two years for the solution. 

I am sorry.
