One of the most common questions that keep reappearing on this website or come to my inbox is How to change font size on Nokia E50. I usually reply that there is no official way to increase font size but there exists some kind of workaround. Trick is to change font for something bigger and more readable. I don’t have problems with small font, in fact I prefer it because that way more information fits on the screen. However some people have problems reading it. Here is a guide on how to change the font in your phone (do it on your own risk!):
You’ll need a memory card and a file manager (e.g. Y-Browser or ActiveFile).
1. Open your file manager and navigate to Z:\resources\Fonts
2. Check the names of the files (these are the fonts that are actually used); they have extension .ttf and most likely they are nosnr60.ttf, nssb60.ttf, nstsb60.ttf […]
Do you keep your old SMS messages? I do but they take too much space on my phone. A few days ago I received an email from a company called Psiloc. They were announcing a new application that does exactly what I need. It’s called GSync and it archives all the SMS messages on my GMail account.
Psiloc GSync allows you to automatically archive all your SMS messages on the Gmail™ account. The SMS messages appear as e-mails, are marked as read and labelled as SMS. Messages exchanged with same people are grouped into threads. You can configure how often messages are archived.
Threaded conversations! Sounds familiar? This is something that many Symbian users have been waiting for. Now you can have SMS messages grouped into threads on your GMail. Picture on the left shows Gsync in action on the phone and picture on the right is from GMail (SMS label created […]

A while back I remember seeing an article on a 3rd party autolock program, and I remember thinking how odd it was since the E50 is equiped with an autolock function.
It also has a keypad lock function, which is a bit more troublesome to use than on previous Nokia’s I’ve owned. But it’s still there nontheless. To use the keypad lock simply depress the on/off button quickly and a pop up menu will appear, then you can scroll down and select “keypad lock”. Simple, now to unlock just depress the left selection key then the * key to unlock the keypad. However I have noticed a flaw in this function, a bit trivial, seems that the screen doesn’t light up upon depressing a key so that you can tell what you are doing.
The autolock is a bit more involved to set up but it works like a charm once it’s […]
