Revealing the Headphone and Car-Kit menus

Please note that if you do these next tricks, the new menus can’t be erased without retoring the factory default settings. To do these tricks you need to short-circuit the pins on the bottom of the phone next to where you plug in you charger.

1. To activate the “Headset” menu, you need to short-circuit pins “3″ and “4″. After a short time the word “Headset” will be shown in the display. Menu 3-6 is now enabled.

2. To activate the “Car” menu, you need to short-circuit pins “4″ and “5″. After a short time the word “Car” will be shown in the display. Menu 3-7 is now enabled.

THE REBOOT TRICK

This should work on all software versions of the 6110.

1. Go to the Calendar (Menu-8)

2. Make a note or reminder.

3. Enter some text into the edit box.

4. Hold “Clear” until the whole text is cleared, then press “Back”.

5. Press “0″. The main screen will now be showing but a space appears on the screen. (you can’t see it)

6. Enter 4 digits (e.g. 1234).

7. Use the down arrow to move the cursor to the left side of the numbers and the space (Down arrow twice).

8. Now enter 6 digits and press the call button.

Wait for a few seconds, the screen should start to flash and reboots. It should alsowork on other menus like the “Profiles” menu.

EFR CALL QUALITY

To activate EFR (Enhanced Full Rate) Enter the code-

*3370#

This improves call quality but decreases batterylife by about 5%

To deactivate it, Enter the code-

#3370#

THE JAMES BOND TRICK

If you short-circuit theleft middle and right pins on the bottom of the phone with all connections touching each other, the Nokia software hangs! The profile “Headset” will be activated. Before you do this just activate the “Automatic Answer” in the headset profile and set the ringing volume to “Mute”. Now you can use your phone for checking out what people are talking about in a room. Just place it under a table in a room and call it. The phone receives the call without ringing and you can listen to what people are saying.

NETWORK MONITOR

There is a hidden menu inside your Nokia phone. If you want to activate it, you’ll have to re-program some chips inside of your phone.

  1. Check your software version. You can only continue if you have v4.33, v4.73 or v5.24.

  2. Take apart the phone.

  3. De-solder the EEPROM (ATMEL AT 24C64).

  4. Read out the data with an EEPROM programmer and save it to a file (Backup).

  5. If you have v.33 or v4.73, change the address “03B8″ from “00″ to “FF”.

  6. If you have v5.24 then change the address “0378″ from “00″ to “FF”.

  7. Write the new data to the EEPROM and solder it back to the phone,

  8. Power on your phone and you should have “Netmonitor” enabled.

The Network Monitor gives you the following information.

  • Carrier number

  • MS RX Level in DBM

  • Received signal quality

  • MS TX power level

  • C1 (Path loss criterion, used for cell selection and reselection). The range is -99 to 99.

  • RTL (Radio link timeout).

  • Timeslot

  • Indication of the transmitter status

  • Information on the Network parameters.

  • TMSI (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity).

  • Cell identification (Cell ID, Number of cells being used).

  • MCC (Mobile country code)

  • MCN (Mobile network code)

  • LAC (Location area code)

  • Ciphering (On/Off)

  • Hopping (On/Off)

  • DTX (On/Off)

  • Discard cell barred information

CHECK SIM-LOCK

Note – If you bought your Nokia on UK Vodafone or UK Cellnet you do not need to check this because they both transmit on GSM900, and they don’t lock the phones. However if you bought your phone on UK Orange or UK One2one your phone may be blocked. The reason is that they both transmitt on GSM1800. To make a call on GSM1800 you need what is known as a “Dual band” phone. A dual band phone is able to transmit on both GSM900 and GSM1800, so they lock the phones so you can’t use it with any other network simcard. If you find that your phone is locked you can try different software to unlock it. (we havn’t found one that works yet), or you can ask your service provider who will gladly exchange the 10 digit code for about £35.

This is how to check the status of the 4 different locks. Aslo don’t try entering the wrong number, because after 3 times it will block the phone for good.

There are 4 different locks on your Nokia phone.

  • COUNTRY-LOCK

  • NETWORK-LOCK

  • PROVIDER-LOCK

  • SIMCARD-LOCK

The code to read out the sim-lock status of your phone is

#PW+(MASTERCODE)+(Y)#

  • # = DOUBLE-CROSS

  • W = PRESS “*” THREE TIMES

  • P = PRESS “*” FOUR TIMES

  • + = PRESS “*” TWO TIMES

  • MASTERCODE = 1234567890

  • Y = NUMBER 1 TO 4

The master code is a secret code. The code has 10 digits, To read out the sim-lock status you can enter every combination you want!

“Y” Shows the status of the network-lock. Here you can enter a number from “1″ to “4″. The “4″ is for the sim-card lock.

SIM-LOCK CHECKS

  • #PW+1234567890+1# = GIVES PROVIDER-LOCK STATUS

  • #PW+1234567890+2# = GIVES NETWORK-LOCK STATUS

  • #PW+1234567890+3# = GIVES COUNTRY-LOCK STATUS

  • #PW+1234567890+4# = GIVES SIM-CARD-LOCK STATUS.

BRAINY SARDAR

28 08 2006

A Sardar and an American are seated next to each other on a flight
from Los  
  Angeles to New York . The American asks if he would like to play a
fun-game. 

  The Sardar , tired, just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines
and    
  rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

  The American persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of
fun.   

  He says, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you
pay me 
  $5, and vice versa.”

  Again, the Sardar declines and tries to get some sleep.

  The American, now worked up, says, “Okay, if you don’t know the
answer, you  
  pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $500.”

  This gets the sardar’s attention and, figuring there will be no end
to
this  
  torment, agrees to the game.

  The American asks the first question, “What’s the distance from the
earth to 
  the moon?”

  The Sardar doesn’t say a word, reaches into his wallet, pulls out a
$5
bill  
  and hands it to the American.

  “Okay,” says the American, “Your turn.”

  So the Sardar asks, “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes
down with 
  four legs?”

  The American thinks about it. No answer.

  Puzzled, he takes out his laptop computer and searches all his
references.   

  No answer!

  He taps into the air-phone with his modem and searches the Internet
and the  
  Library of Congress.

  No answer.

  Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and co-workers.
Checks
the   
  input. All to no avail!

  Finally, a long time later, he wakes the Sardar and hands him $500.

  The Sardar thanks him and turns back to get his sleep.

  The American, more than a little miffed, stirs the Sardar and asks,
“Well,   
  what’s the answer?”

  Without a word, the Sardar reaches into his purse, hands the American
$5,    
  and goes back to sleep!

ONLINE GRIEVANCE SYSTEM IN INDIA

28 08 2006

Can you imagine this happening in INDIA?Government of India has a online Grievance forum at http://darpg-grievance.nic.in/

The government wants people to use this tool to highlight the problems they faced while dealing with Government officials or departments like Passport Office, Electricity board, BSNL/MTNL, Railways etc etc.

I know many people will say that these things don’t work in India, but this actually works as one guy in CSC found. The guy I’m talking about lives in Faridabad. Couple of months back, the Faridabad Municipal Corporation laid new roads in his area and the residents were very happy about it. But 2 weeks later, BSNL dug up the newly laid roads to install new cables which annoyed all the residents including this guy. But it was only this guy who used the above listed grievance forum to highlight his concern. And to his surprise, BSNL and Municipal Corporation of Faridabad was served a show cause notice and the guy received a copy of the notice in one week. Government has asked the MC and BSNL about the goof up as its clear that both the government departments were not in sync at all.

So use this grievance forum and educate others who don’t know about this facility.
This way we can at least raise our concerns instead of just talking about the ‘ System ‘ in India.

HEIGHT OF STUPIDITY

22 08 2006
While visiting India, George Bush is invited to tea with Abdul Kalam. He asks Kalam what his leadership philosophy is. He says that, it is to surround himself with intelligent people.

Bush asks how he knows if they’re intelligent.

“I do so by asking them the right questions,” says Kalam. “Allow me to demonstrate.”

Bush watches as Kalam phones Manmohan Singh and says, “Mr. Prime Minister, please answer this question: your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?”

Manmohan immediately responds, “It’s me, Sir !”

“Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir,” says Kalam. He hangs up and says,”Did you get that, Mr. Bush?” Bush nods: “Yes Mr. President. Thanks a lot. I’ll definitely be using that!” Bush, upon returning to Washington,decides he’d better put Condoleeza Rice to the test.

Bush summons her to the White House and says, “Condoleeza, I wonder if you can answer a question for me.”

“Why, of course, sir. What’s on your mind?”

Bush poses the question: “Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister.Who is it?”

Rice was puzzled and finally asks, “Can I think about it and get back to you?” Bush agrees, and Rice leaves.

Rice immediately calls a meeting of senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Rice calls Colin Powell and explains the problem.


“Mr. Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?” Powell answers immediately, “It’s me, of course.”

Much relieved, Rice rushes back to the White House, finds George Bush, and exclaims, “I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It’s our Colin Powell!”

And Bush replies in disgust, “Wrong, its Manmohan Singh”

The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal question, he replied, none the less, “I earn $ 2 000.00 a month, Sir. Why?”

Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $ 6000.00 cash And gave it to the young man and said, “Around here I  pay people for working, not for standing around looking pretty! Here is 3 months ’salary, now GET OUT and don’t come back”.

ANTZ

22 08 2006

Incident 01:
A little boy died because surgeons found ants in his brain! Apparently
this
boy fell asleep with some sweets in his mouth or with some sweet stuff
beside him. Ants soon got to him and some ants in fact crawled into his
ear
which somehow managed to go to his brain. When he woke up, he did not
realize that ants had gone to his head. After that, he constantly
complains
about itchiness around his face. His mother brought him to see a doctor
but
the doctor could not figure out what was wrong with him. He took an
X-ray of
the boy and to his horror; he found a group of live ants in his skull.
Since
the ants are still alive, the doctor could not operate on him coz ants
were
constantly moving about. The boy at last died. So please be careful
when
leaving food stuff near your bed or when eating in bed. This might
attract
ants. Most importantly, NEVER eat a sweet before going bed. You might
fall
asleep and suffer same fate as the little boy.
Incident 02:
Another similar incident happened in the hospital in Taiwan. This man
was
warded in the hospital and was constantly warned by the nurses not to
leave
food stuff by his bedside for there are ants about. He did not heed
their
advice. Ants finally got to him. His family members said that the man
constantly complain about headaches. He died and a post mortem or
autopsy
was done on him. Doctors found a group of live ants in his head.
Apparently,
the ants had been eating bits of his brain.

So friends, better be safe than sorry !! Never leave food stuff beside
your
side when you go to sleep !!!!!
