So confused with my 6700 slide

Have just got a new 6700 slide and there are so many things I can't work out that I'm just about ready to throw it out the window! If anyone could answer any of these I'd be incredibly grateful.
Ok:
Firstly it keeps telling me it is unable to access my contacts that are saved on my sim card, and sometimes it tells me to insert my sim card, even though it is clearly inserted. What am I doing wrong? the handbook says I should have been given the option of accessing them when I first entered contacts, but I don't think I was...should I restore it to factory settings and try again???
Secondly, to do this, is says I need a lock code - is that something I should know or be able to access?? If not, does that mean I'm not able to restore it to factory settings?
Third: Please tell me there's a way of getting rid of all the awful boxes and messages on the "desktop" page?? I dont want to set up my email, share my photos or see my calendar entries as soon as i turn on my phone, i just want simply the background, so how do I get rid of them?
Ok these are the things imediately confusing me but I have no doubt there will be more. Please help me if you can.
Thank you.

Well yes ! Two things actually, first read the user guide, and secondly Tick my green star !!! 
But you can also check your shortcuts and active stndby settings in personalisation-standby !!
Nokia phones are actually quite easy to use, rather than getting frustrated, play about with it for a while, you'll struggle to break it , and you may find you do want one or two shortcuts once you get used to it 
Good Luck

  • Cant get on ovi store with nokia 6700 slide

    I brought this phone a week ago and spend over £20 trying to access the store via my phone each time it says it cant find the page or unable to connect to the server, i have been in touch with nokia and they have made me re-set my settings and everything and said the phone was faulty and to get it replaced. I have done this and i get the same prob is this a known problem with this phone? my friend has the same phone and can access the store fine. I love every other thing about the phone and dont really want to go thru getting it replaced again if im likely to have the same problem.
    Or is there anywhere else i can get apps for this model without having to use the ovi store as i can get on any other website fine

  • Problem with 6700 slide Gallery

    Hi all,
    I bought 6700 slide last week. I have updated the firmware to v.033.014. I had three files dandelion.png, spring.png, leaves.png in the images folder(c:\data\images) on the phone memory. I've deleted them from the file manager but now they are still in the gallery and if I try to remove them from the gallery the system shows an error. I can't find them anywhere in the memory and I can't open them from the gallery (showing files corrupted). I reset the phone twice with *#7370# but with no luck. How to remove those files from the gallery? Thanks in advance...

    hi, i also have the exact problem and i did a hard reset  (same code as yours) several times to no avail. were you able to find a solution? it's starting to wear me thin.

  • How do I backup the data on my 6700 slide?

    I have a 6700 slide, and I have problems with the memory. The phone says the memory is full, even though I removed all the files I can, and cleared the cache in the internet browser. When i remove things the amount of memory doesn't change at all. Now I can't take photos, and I can't put any music in my phone at all, it's very frustrating!
    I read that it could be a good idea to hard reset the phone to free up memory. But then I'll need to do a backup on my data, but how do I do that? 
    It's basically the contacts i need to backup, since I sort of removed all the other files....
    I'm using a Mac, so I can't use the PC suite program.

    Download the Nokia Suite from here and install on your PC.. Connect the phone to PC and open OVI Suite.. Go to Tools --> Back-Up and follow instructions.. For added safety use the 'SYNC' function too.. and the Data will get Synced with the Nokia Suite. Other than the Contacts.. you may Sync the Messages, Photos, Music also...

  • 6700 slide - keeps trying to connect to internet

    I recently bought the nokia 6700 slide and have been having the same problems as others, with the screen saver etc
    One which I haven't seen coming up before though is that at random times a display box comes up on my screen asking whether to connect via O2 WAP or O2 internet, even when I'm not using the internet or not even touching the phone!  I'm not sure if it's some fuction on the phone that is trying to connect or what.
    It wasn't bothering me that much until this morning when my alarm didn't go off.  When I looked at my phone the little display box was on the screen and only when I cancelled that did the alarm go off.  A text message also came in when the display box was cancelled, although it had been sent an hour earlier.
    I can't really rely on the alarm function until I get this sorted out so if anyone has any tips, they'd be much appreciated!

    try these
    Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Admin. settings > SIP settings
    Delete any profile defined in there.
    Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Admin. settings > Packet data
    Set "Packet data connection" to "When needed

  • 6700 slide...help help help help help help.pleeeaa...

    i have just changed from N95 8GB to 6700 slide.i had almost 4gb of videos and pic in my n958g,so i bought an 8gb micro sd for my new 6700 slide.i tranfered all vids and pics from n958gb on to the card via card reader.i inserted mmc in to 6700 slide and all vids and photos are visable in gallery-images,all photos are ok BUT the vids keep sticking when playing apart from one which has appeared in vid clips.i have just blue tooted a vid from 6700 slide to 5800 and 5800 is playing perfectly which proves the card is ok.why is this hand set not playing my vids without sticking?
    please help ,these are vids i cant lose.

    For what its worth, I had a similar issues and called the UK helpline & technical support number.  A guy called Glenn was right on the button with what he thought had gone wrong and he was right.  From my perspective, this was an issue with an out of warranty iPad, however, due to Glenn's product knowledge, he was able ascertain what had gone wrong during the iOS 3.2.2 to iOS 5.1 upgrade.  This saved me time, money and has restored my faith in Apple as a quality brand.  I suggest you call the UK help line. I previously called the American line and, no offense, but they were unable to fix anything. As is often the case, it comes down to skilled individuals who actually care about the company they work for. Call  Glenn and his colleagues; they will put you right. 

  • 6700 slide - Customize camera pictures storage fol...

    Dear friends,
    My parents' 6700 slide, when set in Spanish language, will store camera pictures at /Images/Cámara ("a" with an accent). But when the phone is connected by USB cable to my  printer, the printer won't  "see" that directory, showing no pictures at all.
    I see that if I change folder name to "Camera", the printer will see it correctly, but then, the phone will create a new empty  "Cámara" folder, and storing there all the new pictures.
     I know setting the phone in English lang creates the folder "Camera" without accent, but when reverting to Spanish, it keeps on storing at the Cámara (spanish) folder.
    My parents can't use the phone in spanish, and it's very disappointing to then not to be able to plug the phone to the printer and print some snaps
    Do you know how could I change the storage folder name? Any  "hidden setting" or trick?
    Thks in advance!

  • 6700 Slide: text alerts, and getting rid of a star...

    I have never posted on anything like this before so please bear with me.
    I have a new 6700 slide, but there are 2 things I can't get used to, having had a Samsung phone before.
    1.  (The worst thing) - if a text comes in, and I don't happen to hear the buzzy tone thing, then I don't get another reminder, and there is no visible sign on the phone that there is a new message unless I open the slide.  Even then it doesn't tell me who the message is from and I have to go to the inbox.  Is there a way of getting more than one alert?  I really don't like this.
    2.  Every time I turn the phone on it asks me to set up my email preferences.  I don't want to use it for email but even if I cancel it, it asks me again next time I turn it on.  Can I stop it asking once and for all?
    3.  Is there a way of marking text messages for deletion, without having to mark just one (very time consuming) or all (which you might not want to do)?
    I would be really grateful for any help on one or all of these questions.  I really wanted a Nokia but now I am pining for my Samsung.

  • Scannen with HP 6700 Premium

    Sorry, I got an answer but can't find it anymore. My problem is still not solved, so I will decribe it again.
    I re-installed the drivers from the HP website,  for my 16 months old HP 6700 Premium. I got a HP buttom, as normal on my desktop screen.
    Printing from the computer and faxen is OK. But clicking on the buttom if I want to scan a document, simple nothing happends. 
    I can scan now choosing the following way.
    Click on:
    Start
    All programs
    HP
    HP office jet
    HP scan
    Thereafter I get the template as normal.
    So scannen is in fact possible but the conenction with teh buttom on the screen does not work. I reinstalled several times the software, always with the same outcome. Before it was working perfect.
    My system: Windows 7 professional, connected with HP 6700 via USB cable

  • New bug in 8.02 - regions confused with each other

    So, I just updated to 8.02, and loaded up a recent project that was half finished (bad idea).
    Now I have some strange bugs going on that I never had before, and they are basic issues.
    My audio regions keep getting confused with each other.
    I have an audio region that I can't open in the sample editor. When I double click on it, the sample editor will bring up the last region I edited, not the new one. I've re-named the region, deleted it and re-added it to the arrange window, but this region will not open in the sample editor.
    I can see it in my media bin, and preview it there, and it plays in my arrangement no problem, but I can't get it to open in the sample editor. In fact sometimes when I click on it, with the media window open, I can see another sample being 'selected' in the media window instead of the proper audio region.

    finally i find someone else with the same prob, o already post into apple.com too
    yes here the same, bug new in 8.0.1, cause on logic 8.0.0 all works fine (except some click noise when you pre-listen a file in autoloop)
    however here what i can say to you (it's 3 days i'm studyng this cause i make a massive use of ultrabeat)
    - no matter both power pc / intel soffer of this bug
    - i try to update to leopard from my 10.4.11 (same bug) tryin a new os installation (same bug), tryn without audio card and driver (same bug)
    so i really don't know how to solve it, cause there are only few people that have this problem
    big mistake and big mistery

  • Socket Programing in J2ME - Confused with Sun Sample Code

    Hai Everybody,
    I have confused with sample code provided by Sun Inc , for the demo of socket programming in J2ME. I found the code in the API specification of J2ME. The code look like :-
    // Create the server listening socket for port 1234
    ServerSocketConnection scn =(ServerSocketConnection) Connector.open("socket://:1234");
    where Connector.open() method return an interface Connection which is the base interface of ServerSocketConnection. I have confused with this line , is it is possible to cast base class object to the derived class object?
    Plese help me in this regards
    Thanks in advance
    Sulfikkar

    There is nothing to be confused about. The Connector factory creates an implementation of one of the extentions of the Connection interface and returns it.
    For a serversocket "socket://<port>" it will return an implementation of the ServerSocketConnection interface. You don't need to know what the implementation looks like. You'll only need to cast the Connection to a ServerSocketConnection .

  • Navigation key in 6700 slide

    Does anyone know how or if you can personalise the middle navigation key so you can choose which applications it goes to if you click right, left, up or down? Can't find it in the manual and can't figure it out without it.
    Thanks

    The other user has described how the flashing-envelope problem is caused by your SIM card having a bunch of SMS messages unnecessarily stored on it.
    If you would like a more step-by-step explanation, you can go to an article on a Nokia 6700 Help Blog.  The steps to delete the messages and get rid of the envelope icon are located at: http://www.metamango.com/nokia6700slide/?p=11

  • Pan & scan with slideshow title slide

    I've been trying to use the Ken Burns effect with a title slide in a slideshow - but can't get it to work.
    Is this possible please - without having to create a video workaround in FCP / iMovie?
    Thanks
    Julian

    Interesting: I just tried it, and Aperture will not let me do it. The only work around I can think of is to trick Aperture into thinking a text slide is a picture slide. You could create this faux text slide using the book tool, but it would be way easier to create it in another app that will save to a picture file format and then import it. If you have Powerpoint or Keynote ($20USD on App store), it will be super easy. You could also do it with Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Pixelmator ($30USD on App store), Gimp (free) or any number of apps.

  • Scan-to-email app with Officejet 6700 Premium printer

    how to scan and email
    Scan-to-email app with Officejet 6700 Premium printer - attachment does not come through

    Hi
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you are unable to use the scan to email feature of your Officejet 6700 printer because you are getting an unable to connect message.
    There are several steps I would like you to try please. 
    Please turn off your printer. 
    Please turn off your router.  If your router doesn’t have an on/off switch, please unplug the power cord from the router.
    After waiting a full 60 seconds please turn on your router (or plug it back in). 
    After the router has completed its startup routine please turn on your printer.
    After the printer has completed its startup routine, please test the scan to email feature.  If it works there no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
    Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots on how to do this.   Don’t worry that the screen shots show a Officejet 8600 printer, the steps are the same.
    Please test the scan to email feature.  If it works there is no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
    Please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.
