Nokia mobile phones always have been sensitive in terms of ‘auto dialing’. A story of a friend of mine is exam plenary. It was a warm summer night and (let us for this story call him Michael) Michael was visiting one of his customers (actually Nokia) for business in Finland. Being abroad, he earlier that evening made a call to his wife for the daily check-up. He learned she was staying with her mother. It was the last phone call he made that evening before he went together with the Nokia purchasing guys into town.
For those who have been in Helsinki know this city has a lot to offer for a group of guys looking for some entertainment. Later that evening after visiting a number of bars the group decided to go to a night club. Having a shallow conversation with one of the lightly dressed ladies of the house, Michael receives a call … from his wife. Reason for calling : she just hang up Michael after listening in on the entire conversation which just went on. She listened in together with her mother. Apparently, his mobile started to auto dial the ‘last phone number in memory’. The phone was triggered after he took a comfortable position at a sofa next to his hostess of the evening.
Thus the first thing to check with any candy bar phone is how to lock the key path. Being a new proud owner of the e61 I quickly found the small ‘mlock‘ application and with the above story in mind, I installed it. The first installed application on my new phone. I used the the standby screen set-up to make a short-cut from the left select button. The same button needed to unlock the e61 again. To me a logical place to put it.
Hi,
Thanks for the mlock. Nice application… Good luck with your blog. I’m adding it to my Favorites.

I’m having a problem with my E61 — I haven’t found any help in forums yet — Have you ever installed an app to the memory card… then performed a phone memory backup… wiped the phone… and restarted the phone?
It started to reinstall all the apps from the memory card — the only problem is one of the apps (MWeather) was apparently corrupted and failed to install… now everytime the phone starts it says “Installing…” for 30 seconds and then fails saying the application cannot be installed.
I go into the “App Mgr” and there is no option to remove MWeather and it doesn’t show up as MWeather.sis — it shows up as a0000c98.sis
I tried choosing options and there is no remove option — Install fails with no real error… So I popped the memory card in my PC and removed all traces of a0000c98 where I could find them and that still didn’t unload it from the App Mgr. I’m starting to think the list of applications loaded in the App Mgr is located a flat file somewhere… in addition to the two locations I found a0000c98.
Any thoughts
What is this?
In principle the directories with the software installed on the memory card are hidden. This is also true for some *.sis files. The easy way to solve this is to stick your memory card in your laptop, unhide the applicable directories, search for your *.sis files, and manually delete. After this it should be solved.
