How to: Improving Wi-Fi Coverage and Performance
You have to know that before applying this settings, i found 2-3 Wi-Fi networks in my house. But after this settings I found 5 Networks. But phone using more energy with this settings and it decreases your battery life. You can apply this somewhere you have to catch wi-fi networks
Home** is my own Wireless network. Before signal quality was %62 and it rised to %75. I tested it very carrefully. I waited 5 minutes to get best results;)
Let’s do it!
Go to Menu> Tools> Settings
Select Connection> Wireless LAN
Options > Advanced Settings
Disable Auto Conf.
You may disable Power Saving but it will spend your battery more faster!!
Now you can catch more WLANs ! or Can get more signal!

Opera Mini 4 beta 2
Opera Mini 4.0 beta 2 is out and is much more stable then beta 1. Additional features besides Visual effects, full screen mode and Auto Zoom is Landscape mode.
Full Screen Mode
I am not sure if this feature was there before or I must have missed this one.
Landscape Mode
Landscape not advisable for Nokia e61i but other devices users will definitely enjoy this feature.
Noticeable differences
In enter web address mode there is a new option called current address this is besides the previous address option
In google or other search engines when you enter text there is another option called create search besides the ok option
I am a big fan of Opera Mini as it is far superior than the Safari browser in terms of faster browsing and relaibility.The Safari browser still has its memory full kink if you load a heavy site while Opera Mini with its text wrapping,fixed page width and now zoom in, mouse pointer, full screen and landscape mode is way ahead of Safari.
You can download the new version from mini.opera.com/beta directly from your device.

Wikipedia Mobile
Wikipedia is one the first places I visit to search for information on the Internet (besides Google, of course). Unfortunately, the current Wikipedia is not “mobile” friendly. If you load Wikipedia home page using the built-in S60 Web browser, you would see something like below.
Personally, I hate doing horizontal scrolling. It’s quite annoying for me. There is a solution for this problem, for example using Opera Mini to load Wikipedia page.
Today, I read an interesting posting on Lifehacker.com about Top 10 Wikipedia Tricks. It mentioned a web site, called Wapedia (http://www.wapedia.mobi) that reformat Wikipedia pages to our mobile devices. As you can see in the screenshots below, the layout of Wikipedia page is much better than above.
To use Wapedia, simply run your S60 Web browser and type http://www.wapedia.mobi.

Face Book
Facebook has become one of the most popular social networking service. According to its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook is growing at the rate of 3% every week. If you haven’t used Facebook yet; I really recommend trying it.
What can we do on Facebook from our mobile device? There are basically three things, i.e.:
Mobile Web. Browse Facebook web site from http://m.facebook.com.
Mobile Uploads. Upload notes and pictures by sending multimedia message to notes@facebook.com or photos@facebook.com. Most S60 devices are able to send multimedia message to an email address.
Mobile Texts. Update your status by sending text message to FBOOK (32665). You can also do many other things by sending text message, for example poke your friend and write to your friend’s wall. To update your status simply send text message started with “@” (see screenshot below).
Note that before using text message service, you have to register your phone number. Unfortunately, as of writing of this posting, only US and Canada numbers are supported.

Nokia Conversation
Nokia Beta Labs has just released a new application, called Conversation. It is an application that allows us to follow conversations, organized by individual contacts. It is similar to the way we use IM (Instant Messaging) application. You can click a contact and see history of conversations that you had with that person.
Click here to download Conversation
There’s nothing much I can say about this application unless that it is cool. IMHO, it should have been part of S60 Messaging application from the beginning.

Fring 3.23 auto-roams between Wi-Fi & 3G!
You asked for it… fring now auto-roams between 3G & Wi-Fi! This means that even if you forget or can’t be bothered searching for Wi-Fi access points, you can still get the best call quality and biggest cost savings over Wi-Fi whenever in range of a recognized hotspot!
So what’s new here? Until now if you have a dual-device, you can choose to communicate over Wi-Fi whenever in a Wi-Fi zone. Now for the first time, fring automatically recognizes and logs you into Wi-Fi or 3G networks without you pressing a button or even thinking about it
How it works: You may have heard of auto-roaming out there, but we are pretty excited about this because compared with current services out there that are either limited to specific networks or still require you to play around quite a bit to switch between different networks, our auto-roaming switches you between any Wi-Fi and 3G/GPRS networks automatically without you having to do anything. For instance, when in a friendly Wi-Fi zone (those specific hotspots you have previously logged into), fring automatically recognizes it and auto-connects you. When you leave that zone, you will communicate over 3G. When you come back later for another cuppa coffee, fring will automatically operate over that Wi-Fi network without you even realizing. We don’t care who operates the network, or what type it is… as long as you’ve logged in before, fring will auto-kick in. Pretty cool, huh?
Who can auto-roam with fring? For now fring auto-roams on supported Nokia (Symbian 9.1 & 9.2) devices including some new additions so download or upgrade to this auto-roaming version now. To choose your preferred network (Wi-Fi first, 3G first, Wi-Fi only, 3G only, or “Always ask”), go to options –> settings –> connection manager –> settings. Your dual-mode fring supported handset will now auto-roam, so go ahead, walk around and check it out! Windows Mobile support is coming soon so stay tuned!
