How to unlock a Nokia x6 with a broken lock button


Many people find that there side keypad unlock switch has broke or snapped off as it gets loose and eventually falls off. Then only way to get that fixed is to take it to a Nokia Care Center or take it to a local mobile phone shop that does cheap repair work. But i found out that there is no point of getting it fixed because you can unlock it without using the side lock button. There is a new application called slide to unlock that works for the x6, n97 and 5800 and uses the same way you unlock you iphone by sliding you finger across the screen.


You might have a problem installing the that application onto your Nokia x6, so tell somebody to call you, then you can get around installing the application because the phone will unlock itself. Once installed, you can unlock your Nokia x6 by sliding your finger across the slide bar on the bottom of the screen, as a permanent unlock method.

  5. I seem to me in same position as the person above namely I'm stuck in locked position. The switch whilst still in place has become slack presumably because of switch failure/disengagement from the spring. Neither calling the phone/plugging in headphones seems to enable me to unlock it.

  7. Many many thanks! My daughter has gone months without access to her x6. Plugged the earphones in and it was active immediately! Auto Lock off and she downloaded Slide Unlock from Nokia Ovi Store. All sorted!
