Tips
N73
N73 are part of the S60 series. Applications written for "S60" should work.
- Useful applications
- Google maps (roughly puts you in the area where you are)
- Torch (if you badly need some light). Requires Python to be installed.
- Autolock (Nokia forgot to add an autolock feature ....)
- Remove unwanted hidden files
If you upgrade your phone, things can go badly wrong, e.g. the phone wants to install an application when boot it. To remove unwanted files do the following. But do not blame me if your phone won't work anymore. This is dangerous !):
- Write down the file name you see in the application manager, e.g. something like: f0206ba4.sis
- Connect your phone with mass storage (not the usual PCSuite !). The phone will show as removable device (e.g. drive "F:")
- Then click on the drive and search for "sis". It will find it somewhere in the "private directory" (at least if you have version 3.0 of S60) Then kill it.
- Then remove the folder of the same name in the sys/install/sysregistry directory.
