Kindle 3 and 411/711
I am a new Kindler with my new Kindle 3.
I have been reading a lot about it and one trick was to type 411 or 711 to get some technical information on my unit. On the Kindle 3 - with no dedicated number keys like on previous models - hitting the SYM key does not work.... any ideas? So I cannot enter any numbers... |

Welcome to MobileRead, geeksquadofun
Did you read this in your users manual, or online somewhere? Are you sure the 411/711 was for the K3? It doesn't operate exactly like the K1 or K2 http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=200503360 Last edited by desertgrandma; 10-17-2010 at 07:54 PM. Reason: new link |

Alt + the top row of keys is a shortcut for the numbers so Alt R, Alt Q and Alt Q.

Read this online - there's got to be a way to get the same info from the K3

Yes you did. But, the fact that you need to be on the Settings page wasn't mentioned.

311 = Change GSM provider so this only exists on the Kindle 2 International and newer as older Kindles weren't GSM. It doesn't exist at all on a Kindle 3 WiFi. Don't mess with this unless you know what you're doing or at least remember to change it back. If you select the wrong provider then the 3G Whispernet connection no longer works until you set it back. 411 = Kindle version numbers. Only 1 page. 611 = Cell modem details. Around 6 pages. The details automatically refresh so you may find it bounces around a bit and the paging is unreliable. You'll notice that the cell modem is always enabled and connected even if WiFi is active. On the Kindle 3 WiFi unit, this page is still there but empty. 711 = WiFi details so only Kindle 3 units have this currently. 2 pages. You'll see signal strength, channel, what SSID you're connected to and IP address details. Last edited by Tiersten; 10-17-2010 at 09:43 PM. |
