The certificate has expired - cannot install software?

Some 3rd party applications are signed with certficates which are valid only until specific date. Installing them after that date is normally not possible and results in an error message about expired certificate. You'd have to wait until the developer releases an updated .SIS file signed with new certificate.

However, there is a very simple workaround letting you install the software and use it without any restrictions. The only thing you have to do is to change the date of your mobile phone several months back, install the program and then switch the date back to the correct setting.

I get certificate error when trying to install 3rd party software. How to fix it?

If you get certificate error when attempting to install 3rd party software on your S60 3rd Edition smartphone, it means that you haven't enabled installation of unsigned SIS files. Go to Tools -> App. Manager, choose Options -> Settings and set Software installation to All and Online certif. check to Off.

How to check the MAC address of S60 phone\'s WLAN adapter?

Sometimes you need to know your device's MAC address, e.g. to add it to the list of devices allowed to connect to your wireless router.

To check MAC address of your S60 phone's WLAN adapter simply type the following code on the standby screen:

*#62209526#

SCREENSHOT-:

How to install Java MIDP software (midlets)?


Java MIDP software is usually offered as two files: *.JAD file (containing description, version number, size, download URL etc.) and *.JAR file (actual application).

You only need the *.JAR file. JAD is not required if you install the software locally and not from a remote Internet location.

If you already have the files on your PC, you can send them to your S60 phone the same way as for SIS files. You can also download Java midlets using WWW browser. Simply select the download link - Installer will launch automatically and install your midlet.

Signing software with Open Signed Online-


Some applications require more capabilities than what can be granted with a self-signed certificate. Unless they're officially Symbian Signed, they can be signed through Open Signed Online at Symbian Signed, by following these steps:



Download the package to be signed.
Go to Symbian Signed website and choose Open Signed Online on the front page (or try this direct link)
Enter the IMEI number of your phone (you can find this by typing *#06# on the phone), your email address, and point to the install package you just downloaded.
Select the capabilities needed for the specific application. If unsure, select all (there's no harm in doing that).
Fill out the captcha, review the legal agreement, check the box if you accept it, and press send.
Wait for a confirmation mail sent to the email address entered earlier.
Visit the URL in the mail to confirm that the package should be signed.
Wait for another mail telling you that the signing is complete. Visit that URL, and you'll get the signed package which you can install on your phone.

N80: Hidden GPS Navigator application-

Can I copy & paste text on S60 smartphones?


Yes. Simply press and hold the ABC / Pen key and select your text using joystick / 5-way button. Left function key will change to "Copy". Press it to copy the selected text to clipboard.

You can paste the clipboard contents the same way: press and hold ABC/Pen. "Paste" will appear above the right function key.
