Nokia 6680 Smartphone

Software for Symbian OS phones is normally supplied using a Symbian installation file (with a .sis extension). This is a single file that contains the components needed to get a piece of software installed and ready to run. A SIS file can be run on a Symbian phone (e.g. from the Inbox or via a file manager). It can also be run via the PC connectivity solution that was supplied on the CD with the handset.

To uninstall software that was installed onto a Series 60 phone, go to the Manager application from the main menu (in the Tools folder on some models), select the application, press Options, and select Remove from the menu

Information on how to connect a Symbian phone to a PC is one of our most common questions. There can be a number of options (such as Bluetooth, USB or infrared), depending on what your handset supports, and what's available for your PC.
As it's one of our top topics, we've set up a dedicated page - See our Series 60 PC FAQ

Hotmail and AOL use proprietary email systems, as opposed to the more common POP email systems - this makes it tricky to access mail on a Series 60 device. For email on the move, consider using a standard POP3 provider such as BT Yahoo (see setup details) that offers free email accounts that can be configured on a Series 60 phone.

If you really want to use Hotmail or AOL, see our Series 60 FAQ on this subject.

If in the course of normal operation, you start seeing messages about low memory, you need to remove some files from the Internal drive to recover some space. Note that 'memory' and 'storage' are effectively the same on a 6680.

• If you're not sure what's on your phone, go to Tools > File Manager > Options > Memory details to see what's using your memory
• If it's your MMC card that's filling up, go to Extras > Memory > Options > Memory details
• To free space, use the File Manager app to either delete files, or to move them to the memory card

For more on memory, see the questions below...

• Amazon - Always a good choice for reliable delivery at good prices
• eBay.co.uk - bid for new cards at low prices!

Once you have taken a picture on the 6680, there are three ways to get the files from your phone to other people or computers:

1. You can copy it to your PC with the Nokia software supplied on the CD . Depending on what you have connected to your computer, you can use Infrared or Bluetooth. Set your PC to receive files (using the IR or Bluetooth software supplied with your adapter), select the photo to send (from Images), then from the Options menu, select Send.
2. You can use the Messaging application and email the picture to yourself (or a friend)
3. Send the picture to another mobile using MMS. Costs of sending pictures by MMS differ depending on which network operator you're with. Take a look at our MMS page for more.

To change the default wallpaper image used in the phone application, do the following:

• Go to Gallery > Images
• Select an image
• Press Options > Set as Wallpaper

Thanks to caller display, we can see who's calling. For answers to your Caller Display questions, see our Caller Display Series 60 FAQ

Rather than the software that came as standard with the phone, there's a rather useful third-party application called Oxygen II - This application supports Contacts, Calendar, Messaging and file management.
For details of how this works, take a look at our Oxygen page

To use your Nokia 6680 as a data modem from a PC, you need to install the One Touch Access modem drivers that are supplied as part of the Nokia PC Suite.
Once the drives are installed, go to Windows Control Panel, select 'Phone and Modem options', click the modems tab. Then click "Add". Then, choose "Don't detect...". Install the modems driver from the manufacturer Nokia. Make sure you set the correct port in "Selected ports". The PDF file supplied with the Nokia PC Suite outlines the process in more detail.

If you're looking to copy your SMS text messages to a PC, you'll find that the Nokia PC Suite software doesn't support this. The best option is to try Oxygen II - This is an alternative PC Suite and supports copying of SMS, MMS and other message types, as well as a few other things that Nokia suite can't do.

• Length: 5 digits
• Detail:Used to prevent unauthorised access to certain functions on the phone
• Set from: Tools > Settings > Security > Phone & SIM
• Default: The default lock code for Nokia Series 60 devices is 12345.
• Lost? - If you've changed this code and forgotten it - you will need to visit a Nokia authorised service center, who will be able to reset the lock code for you.

• Length: 4 digits
• Detail: This is an optional 4 digit code to protect your SIM
• Set from: Tools > Settings > Security > Phone & SIM
• Lost? - If you keep trying, you'll eventually get locked out and need to contact your network operator for a PUK code (see below)

• Length: 8 digits
• Detail: You'll be asked for this 8 digit code if you've entered the wrong SIM code more than the allowed number of times. You'll need to contact your network operator to get this lock lifted. PUK code help.

• If your phone was fixed to work on a specific network (for example, Orange), this lock may prevent you from using another SIM in the handset. You may see "SIM card rejected" or "SIM card unaccepted". This lock can be lifted for you by contacting the network operator in question (there may be a fee for this).

• Our forum often gets messages from people that are seeing "Memory card locked". This means that your MMC card has had a password set on it. If you know the password, and want to remove it, go to Tools> Memory.
• Lost? - Sorry, but we don't know of a way to remove this code. The advice we've seen via our forum suggests that you may want to format your memory card either from the Tools > Memory > Options > Format mem. card, or using a PC Memory Card Reader. If you know of a better solution, please pass this on via our forum to help others that have managed to lock themselves out of their cards!
