Nokia E66 three finger reset

hey, i just bought a used nokia e66 from someone.
my phone service provider is a different provider than this phone is programmed to work with.
ive tried doing the 3 finger deep reset, and even the *# whatever numbers it was reset. and the phone isnt responding to them in any way.
after the 3 finger reset, it just starts up normally and tells me my sim isnt recognized.
im located in israel, is it possible that this reset is done differently here? any ideas? thnks
Moderator's note: The title was amended as this post was moved from another thread.

Provided that you kept * 3 green keys depressed whilst powering on until Nokia "Shaking hands" logo appears device will have been reset to factory settings, but this has no bearing upon whether device is SIM locked to another provider.

Nokia E66 problem with calling

HI!
It is less than two weeks from purchasing a brand new mobile phone - Nokia E66. Although it is a good device for a lot of things a modern men needs nowadays, it has some dificulties when it is ordered to call someone.
It works fine for a day or two, but after some time calling a persone from the adress book is impossible. Even if a number is displayed as an "unanswered call" and "yes" button is pressed everything from the screen dissapears. I am able to call someone only if I type a number manualy. Pressing the "yes" key works fine only if a number is typed manualy. Restarting the mobile phone also "repairs" the problem for a while.
I have the neewest software installed on the phone. What to do next?

i would consider reinstalling latest firmware and then using the code #2 from your home screen to finish the process. back up all your data and contacts if you don't have them on the sim card, remove the memory card when you do this and default code is 12345.
1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list.
2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone
3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is dead proceed with reflash if not, turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

*#7370# *#7780# and three buttons reset

Hi,
What is the difference between the three resets?
Which of them installs new OS on the handset?

*#7780# is “reset”
or "restore factory settings"
(same as Menu>Tools>Settings>General>Factory settings).
This resets the ini files, refreshing them from ROM,
and should leave user data intact.
This is called a “ normal reset” or a “soft reset”.
*#7370# is “format”
Once the command takes effect,
the phone’s C drive will be formatted:
all data on that drive will be erased
with clean default files being written.
This is called a “deep reset” or a “hard reset”.

The “three-finger manoeuvre” really needs at least four digits. It may be useful when a phone will not otherwise start. If the manoeuvre is successful, then (just as with the *#7370# command)
the phone’s C drive will be formatted:
all data on that drive will be erased
with clean default files being written.
This can also be called a “deep reset”, or a “hard reset”.
With regard to data loss mentioned above: data on a memory card should be safe from deletion. However, formatting can have unintended consequences; for example an application installed on a memory card may also have essential files placed on the phone’s C drive. When that drive is formatted, those files will be deleted, and thus the application (although still present on the memory card) may not function properly, without reinstallation.
In answer to your final question, none of these procedures actually installs a new OS on a phone. Firmware may be updated, however; a good place to start might be here: /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&thread.id=21323

Three finger swipe stopped working

My three finger swipe has stopped working for the last week. I have used it for a year and suddenly it is not working. I have tried togging it on and off in the preference pane with no change. Tested it in Safari and FF with no reaction.

Try doing a PRAM reset, the instructions are:
*Resetting PRAM and NVRAM*
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

3 finger reset- how to get back my store and maps?

I did a 3 finger reset to get rid of the problem with social and Nokia maps check in app. As a result I lost Nokia store and Nokia maps (along with several other apps which I can easily install again) altogether. Several of my attempts to re download store have fallen flat.I downloaded the Nokia store qml from bela labs. It tries to install upto almost the end and then says "unable to install". Seems something is missing. How shall I get my store back?

Anyhow a big lesson to you all. Never ever perform 3 finger reset unless nothing else can be done. Better visit Nokia care than doing a 3 finger "suicide". Because you as bound to lose maps, store , photo & video editors and a big lot of preinstalled apps. Even qt library loses some of the components. No restoring from backup will help you get your things back.

Three-finger swipe in system preferences?

After I recently re-installed OS X and did the necessary upgrades to 10.6.5, it seems that my Three-finger swipe in system preferences stopped working. Before, I could navigate the system preferences menu going back and forth with the three-finger swipe but now? nothing... anybody has any idea how to fix? I tried re-resetting the PRAM and check/re-checking + reboot but nothing seems to work...
however, the three finger swipe works in all other applications such as chrome and firefox...

I never knew this to exist in sys preference. Not sure how this would work since you are not highlighting anything, just selecting???

Three finger navigation stopped working

The last two days the ability to go backwards and forwards through web pages with a three finger sideways swipe across the trackpad has disappeared. Unclicking and reclicking it in System Prefs doesn't bring it back, nor does restarting Safari. I tried trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist but it still didn't work. Any other tricks to try out? This is on my MBP 13" with 10.6.1.

Three Finger Zoom

Anyone here who's having problem with the iPod touch 5th Gen, 3 Finger Zoom?
Before, it does work but a certain point, it stopped recognizing the 3 finger zoom. For me to be able to use the said function, i have to reset all the settings of the iPod then it will be ok but give or take atleast 1 week, it will stop responding to the 3 finger zoom again then I have to reset all settings and it will be a forever cycle.
I also tried testing the three finger recognition in the game OSMOS wherein you have to tap your 3 fingers at the same time to go to the Game Menu when you are at gameplay. And my hunch was right, it does not respond to my 3 fingers.
I also checked the triple click home button function. The Zoom was the only one checked among the items. I tried it but it didn't zoom. I also used the Assistive Touch and still no response.
Do you think it's a hardware or software issue? Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I have no sen that problem posted here before
Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Three finger zoom fatally broken

For years, I have used the three-finger double tap to zoom the screen. It is now fatally broken.
For no reason, the screen zooms in and will NOT unzoom. Three-finger doesn't work. pinch and zoom, nothing. The phone cannot even be restarted, because the red swipe bar isn't visible. The only option is to do a hard reset.
And then after the restart, the screen is still partially zoomed in, although not to the point of being unusable.
I'm astonished this is so badly broken.
Any solutions, anyone?

I cannot replicate the experience you are reporting. Zoom works fine on both by iPhone 5 and iPad 2, both running 8.0.2.
When in Zoom mode, can you drag the screen around with three fingers? A double-tap with three fingers does nothing?

Trackpad Issue - Three-Finger Scrolling?

I can't exactly explain how it happen, but I'll try to explain what I did: I was messing around with my trackpad settings, specifically the three-finger dragging feature, while multi-tasking between some other programs. My computer started to hang up for a minute, probably because my multi-tasking was eating up my memory or CPU. In any case, after it came down, I closed out of a few programs and focused on browsing the Internet.
Normally, when I browse, I can swipe left or right with three fingers to navigate Back and Forward in my tabs' histories, but when I tried it this time, I found that all I could do was scroll left and right. I thought that checking and unchecking the "three-finger drag" box in my System Preferences would fix it, but it didn't work. The three-finger scrolling is now all that can be done; it overrides any previous three-finger gestures in all my applications. I've tried resetting the PRAM and SMC, but that doesn't work, nor does removing the appropriate .PLIST file in /Library/Preferences.
Is there any other way that this might be fixed? Am I missing something that I did not know existed before? I miss being able to go back a page.

Oh, well, I'm an idiot. Turns out I accidentally unchecked the Swipe Between Pages option.
My bad.

Three finger swipe in wrong direction

Hi!
While the two finger swipe/scroll is on "natural", the three fingers still swipe (scroll?) the old "unnatural" way.
Is this only for me? (you can check that by picking "three fingers swipe" and then swipe back&forth in Safari/iCal-weekview/etc.)
What can I do against it?
Background info:
I changed the feature "Swipe between pages" (under touchpad/more gestures) from "scroll left and right with two fingers" to "swipe with three fingers".
Reason: Even on Apple's own Website there is photostreams (or other features with scrollbars) where one needs to scroll left and right with two fingers (to see all pictures, the whole text etc.), but then two fingers also mean to swipe back to the last opened page, so that's what Safari does (instead of scrolling)!
Please read carefully, I get really annoyed when people teach me about how "natural" is more natural or that "Apple engineers know why they did it this way" or some other bull****.
Thank you so much for your help!!

Trackpad three-finger swipe goes to wrong window

I'm using a Magic Trackpad with a MacBook Pro running the current Mac OS 10.8.4. But I've had this problem for at least a year, so I'm guessing it also affects the last couple OS versions at least.
I have the trackpad configured to trigger Back and Forward commands with a three-finger left/right gesture (System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures > Swipe Between Pages > Swipe With Three Fingers). I use these gestures to move to the previous or next web page in Safari and to move to the previous or next document in BBEdit and Xcode. Similarly, I also use a three-finger up/down gesture to switch between the header and implementation files in Xcode.
This all works great for a couple weeks, then suddenly something breaks and this happens: if I change the active window by any method (e.g., clicking the window, pressing Command-Tab, clicking the Dock icon), my three-finger gestures will still be targeted to the old window, as if it is still active. If I scroll in the new window with a two-fingered gesture, that will fully activate it and then the three-fingered gestures will be correctly targeted again. I've tried changing the trackpad settings and changing them back, quitting individual apps and sleeping/waking the computer. The only solution I've found to make the gestures work properly at that point is to restart the computer, which is pretty time-consuming given the number of things I'm usually working on at once.
Has anyone else seen this problem, and more importantly does anyone know a solution that doesn't involve restarting? Maybe restarting an individual process from the Activity Monitor?

JimG16,
I know it sounds silly but is the option for three finger swipe still checked.
System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures ( Tab ) > Swipe between full-screen apps.
Also on mine if I don't have multiple desktops created, Dashboard turned on, or on App in full screen mode it won't switch between them.
Summon Mission Control ( F3 on my keyboard ) > Along the top do you see Multiple Desktops or Apps in full screen.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Three finger gestures not working on Mountain Lion

Since upgrade to Mountain Lion, gestures have become unreliable. Gestures for Mission Control, switching between full screen app, etc. (which are set with three fingre swipes) work sometimes but won't work most of the time. Anyone else facing the same problem?

I had this problem but I found it was the settings that changed when mountain lion was installed.
Mountain lion changed my three finger gestures to four finger gestures when swiping between full screen apps.
I found there were extra settings. Apparently when installing mountain lion my three finger gestures were changed to four finger gestures.

The three finger swipe left and right does not seem to work

Hi
I have been trying to do the left and right three finger swipe that allows you to move between applications to no avail. It just keeps switching between dashboard and one app even if I have 5 apps open at the same time. Snow Leopard has this feature where all the apps opened are shown when you do the swipe and you can choose the one you want. I think this is better but it doesn't work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Antonio

Such spaces actually use very little extra memory relative to the apps you have open to occupy those spaces. I would go out on a limb and say it doesn't matter whether you have one space for every application or all on the same desktop.
The limitation will come from the applications and the data you are crunching on them.
(But that's just a personal view, haven't run into any limits on my ow 4GB Macbook Pro so far)
