have u tried to send your C6-01 to NCC yourself, sakpn2000?

not yet, ut reported that they wont xchange the unit even though its a known problem as this issue is not put in their service bulletin.

will send to it soon, but will not put it there, coz the problem wont solve as in the new circuit produced is not out yet

Any tips that you guys can give to optimize C6-01 battery usage?

BTW, usually for you guys, how long will it takes before the battery is fully drain out?

It depends on your usage. If you're perfoming web-surfing or GPS, the battery will drain out very quickly.

A few tips to improve perhaps a little is
1) Change your network mode to 2G Only if you're not using your network data.
2) Reduce the brightness of the screen or you may turn power-saving mode on.
3) Shut any unused apps because multitasking in Symbian will still require processes if it's running because it's true multitasking not "fake" multitasking in iOS

Pretty much nothing else can increase the Battery Time.
The battery capacity is the main thing. While doing the above few might increase your battery usage time, this is only because you have changed your usage pattern.

My personal suggestion : Get a Portable Charger to couple with your phone. Remember to get one with a higher capacity

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do try reinstalling your firmware as in the whole thing through Nokia Ovi Suite or the older PC Suite.
Anyway, I don't think it's fair if Nokia isn't replacing your phone when there's an issue to it and if you have just purchase it within 2 weeks time.
Try asking NCC again & if they refuse to do a replacement, do check out this site : National Consumer Complaints Centre and lodge a report against them

Wow, thanks I already tried all of the suggestion that you've suggested.

I'm planning to buy a screen protector too for my C6-01. Any seller/products recommended?



and any of you guys know what is the PRODUCT CODE for Malaysia Nokia C6-01?

Apart from the above tips, i also disable the screen saver clock and vibrate when touch as well. Then i use Killme to end useless tasks when idling. With Profile Scheduler, i set my phone offline from 12-7am daily and set it to power saving as well. Might save a few miliwatts. My phone is in 2G the whole time as i don't use video call. 3G talktime is half the 2G talktime as in the spec.

No idea about the product code or screen protector. ._.

can get screen protector from askarperang.. he selling quite cheap. i tink wan see product code just type on ur dialler, *#0000#

are you using C6-01, botakbin? what is your product code?

Haha no la I'm n8 user. Just helping u guys out.

Hi guys! Can't believe there's actually a thread on the Nokia C6-01 ! How cool is that?

Just got my C6-01 recently. There's one thing which is really boggling my mind.

Where can I get more Games or cool Apps like maybe some fun (yet maybe useless) Apps u find on the iphone?
And most importantly, how do I install those apps into my phone?


- I tried downloading some free apps online with the .sis file, I transferred these files into my Memory Card area, but they don't show up in my phone. Sorry I'm such a noob.

i have two mind boggling questions here..hope someone out there can help me
a. CONNECTIVITY = i tried to connect this phone to my home wifi. the phone can be connected but it stated there 'invalid server name' when i tried to open web browser. that means i cannot online at all...

b. HANG and AUTO-RESTART = my phone always hang and then auto restart whenever i least expected it to happen. it is quite frustrating coz i just bought this phone 3 days ago..is it because of faulty product or what?????

and....the phone at the back is easily heat up when i used it for just five minutes..it is as if the phone is going to explode...

hope somebody out there can tolong tolong lar enlighten me..thanks

A lot of websites to download. Just google. One of them is n8fanclub.com. They have instructions on how to sign sis file for installation as well. Have you tried Ovi Store?

u have the same prob as mine.

There should be a PR1.1 firmware update soon. C7 already got them. Also, Social is now v1.3 but somehow not available using the software update so i just downloaded the installer.

I can't wait for PR1.1 to be out for Nokia C6-01! Wanna see what Nokia have up on this new firmware updates.

definitely need ncc edi.. Especially the heat up issue..

thanks for the prompt reply, fellow c6-01ians!
will go "tek koon" (buat hal) in ncc soon...
very frust and geram......

i wish u good luck. give them hell from all us nokia users.

Screen protector can be purchase from any shop or seller. It doesn't really matter. Quality wise, there's not much difference between branded like Capdase & Ayam brand. The only thing you should decide is what type of SP do you want. Clear type or Matte (Anti-fingerprint) or Mirror or whatever...
Personally, I prefer Clear type although it's a fingerprint magnet

Yes yes, the vibration feedback uses quite a lot of battery as well

Added on February 5, 2011, 7:46 pmHey, don't worry.
.sis file is a installer file. So, after transferring the .sis file into your phone Memory Card, go to file manager in office and look up for the .sis file in the folder you have placed. Then select the .sis file. Go through the installation process and you're finish, the installed app will be shown in your app folder

Subsequently, you may connect your phone to the PC via PC Suite connection and make sure you have either OVI Suite or PC Suite (Both does pretty much the same thing. The latter is a older version of connectivity suite before OVI Suite was developed) Just double click the .sis file in your computer and it will automatically installs it (well, you still have to follow the on-screen steps)

I see, in Malaysia we don't have those Clear type of SP but at the same time anti-fingerprint eh? BTW, hengguowei, do you use any casing for your C6-01?
