Does anyone know how to turn off the keylock while closing the phone. I used Selew, nut that is not what I want. I don't want the phone to ask if I want to lock it and I don't want it to lock automatically. Just left unlocked!The same for ending a call when closing the phone. I don't want that to happen.

I also want to know if it is possible to open the contact names list by pressing up or down on the joystick. On older Nokia's this is possible.

If you don't know maybe someone could report these little problems to Nokia.

BTW is it possible to change the icons of the folders in the main menu?

It is possible by pressing in the joystick once! The last calls apear, and by pressing the right softkey with the "Back" command. This will get you to the contacts!

I want to scroll through all my names, just like on the 8210 for example. Up to start with contacts with the letter z and down to scroll through the contacts starting with a. Pressing the joystick does not always bring you to the whole list (sometimes it goes to the last call, so you have to push 2 buttons to get to your full list)[/quote]

About Seleq. This program lets you automatically turn on the keylock when you close the phone. What I want is to disable the keylock alltogether (so I don't have to enter no when closing the phone) except by pressing the on/off button once and then turn it on.

Yes two buttons exactly as I said! I dont think there is another way of doing this with the joystick! However two button instead of one isn't to much is it?

Why not change one of the default "Camera", "Favorit." buttons to go to Contacts? (Personally, I don't see the point of the Favourites feature, since you can't set up links to programs without 3rd party software.) This way, you'll be able to go to Contacts in one button press.

RTFM - if you press down on the joystick you are immediately taken to the contact list for you to scroll.

Exactly... I was wondering what all the bickering was about.. When you click the joystick (press down once) you automatically goto contacts.. (in fact it is not reprogrammable to something else unlike the 2 soft keys).

I currently have my left softkey on Log (for last dialled etc) and Right soft key for Messages (to compose etc).. and that is because those are the ones I need in a hurry.. but it is dependant on personal choice.

I don't use Seleq myself, but on the "normal 7650" you don't have to answer to that query. The keylock query will go away automatically after couple of seconds... Or maybe I did not understand what you were explaining?

but there is allready a possibility:
only put the trial of Taskmanager from PsiLOC on:
open it,go 2 the Favorits(of TM)
add all the apps u need:

then simply remove TM,
and the Favorits stay in your phone.

S�mi

Ah, I may try that. When I first tried TaskManager I really didn't like it and didn't see much point for it, so I removed it about 5 minutes after installing! Maybe I'll try what you suggested and remove it again. Thanks 😉
