Review: Sony Ericsson W550i


The W550i is another Walkman™ branded phone from Sony Ericsson. It's a swivel action phone, like the Sony Ericsson S700i from last year. When closed, you can use the music functions of the phone, play games and access the menu. The phone is easy to open, and you then have access to the full keypad. The numeric keypad isn't the easiest to use, but it's acceptable. The W550i is available in a choice of three colours: Universe Blue, Orchid White and Vibrant Orange, with changeable covers.
As you'd expect from a phone carrying the Walkman logo, there's a digital music player and a built-in FM radio. Putting music onto the W550i is easy, as CD-ripping PC software is supplied with the phone. Using the Bluetooth connection you can drag and drop MP3 tracks from your PC to the phone. Flight mode lets you use the music player whilst on an aircraft.
The phone also has a good 1.3 megapixel camera plus a video camera. There's an easy-to-use menu for the camera functions, and a dedicated camera button. The screen is large (1.8") and high quality, with 262,000 colours.
The W550i is also designed for games, with dedicated gaming buttons. Games are played with the phone horizontal, making it easy to hold like a games console, and also making best use of the screen. You can use Bluetooth for wireless multi-player games.
The phone is easy to use, with an icon-driven desktop and an intuitive menu. A file manager application is used to move music tracks and other items. Voice control can be used to answer or reject calls, and to make calls from your phonebook.
In conclusion, the W550i is a good phone for music lovers. Although there's no memory card, 256 Mbytes is more than most phones and is enough to make this into a useable MP3 player (enough for around 75 tracks). The sound quality is excellent. The camera is good, though not as good as the W800i's, and the screen is also good, though not as large as that on the S700i. The phone is generally very easy to use, although the keypad is not ideal for texting. However the W550i is not a reliable phone. Many users have suffered from a problem where the screen turns white and the phone has to be replaced, and some users have reported temperemental Bluetooth connectivity. The Sony Ericsson W800i is a much better option.

Sony Ericsson W200i do u wanna thump ?


Walkman phones are already huge hit worldwide and we have seen many models of Walkman phones in different category and price range. Till now, the Walkman models were placed in the higher segment with price > 10000/- Rs, although there was w300i in lesser range, but it was not a major hit. Sony Ericsson has introduced the new model to bridge the gap between these segments, the new W200i.
The model comes in two colors – Pulse White and Rhythm Black with dimensions of 101×44×18 mm and weighs 85 g. From the exterior, the phone looks good with average build quality. It has a Walkman button on the top left hand corner for playing music, like any other phone in the Walkman series. Below this is the slot for memory card, a 128 MB card is shipped along with the phone and those who need more memory, there is provision to accommodate cards upto 1 GB.


The screen has a resolution of 128×160 pixels and supports 65k colors, which is lesser than the other Walkman models. The keypad is good and offers good back light in the dark. One disappointing thing in this model is the Joystick, which is little bit on the harder side.
Other common features include;
* 1000 entry phone book with each entry having 5 options.* SMS, MMS and Email features.* PhotoDJ and MusicDJ for editing photos and music files.* Sound Recorder.* Organizer, Alarm clock and WAP.
The phone has an in-build camera, with resolution 640×480 pixels and 4x zoom feature (VGA cam), plus an ability to record small video clips (in 3gp with a resolution of up to 176×144 pixels). The camera is just average considering the fact that other Walkman series have 2MP cams. The quality is also average.
It also has an in-build media player similar to the ones available in other Walkman series. It also has a radio. Now coming to connectivity, there is no IR and Bluetooth available in this model. This is really surprising for the fact that many of the users now prefers to use bluetooth headsets. This is most crucial let down for this model.

Nokia 6600 Codes - Tips and Tricks:


PC Suite 16.12.03
PC Suite may only on C: are installed (path to leave in such a way) - otherwise nothing goes.Bluetooth (BT) among other things with PC Suite 07.01.04With Bluetooth (BT)/PC Suite problems here some in left described Tipps is:· 1.3.2.7 (nearly) all BT adapter and it runs all necessary profile/attitudes is supported - use however the provided SW (best with updates from the InterNet).· Over the Handy after installation of the SW and the BT Dongles to find must BT switched on and on "for all visibly" configures to be.·
First BT install - if PC Suite is already installed, then this only deinstallieren...·
In "more mRouter" the same haven must be adjusted as with the BT attitudes. (the local haven is crucially... the Client haven is all the same...)· Enter the same (any) password with the password inquiry (only with the first time) simply at the Nokia and at the PC..aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.· For problems all deinstallieren and again (in the· correct order - only BT) install...Please also the information to BT consider... because of problems with "compatibility", minutes and BT versions... and the problem the fact that the connection must be always developed from the Nokia equipment (at least is with me like that).
Headset, BT 21.01.04Appropriate information to Bluetooth (BT) Headsets is in
Hanging Apps 16.12.03How do I close programs to have hung up or any longer not terminate leave myself (e.g. mobiQix)?With the menus key, select the program and press then "C" open the task list (or Handy switch off).
Autostart go around 28.12.03When switching on of the Handys on to the pin inquiry the key appears "ABC" (pin) so long keeps pressed - this prevents that the autoinitialization programs to be implemented (does not fold always and/or with all autoinitialization programs).
Compatibility 7650 3650 Java 17.12.03Many applications of the Nokia 7650 or 3650 run only in the telephone memory (exactly like Java Apps).With Java to consider the PersonalJava of programs is does not run, the Nokia 6600 however J2ME supported.Note! There are also applications those does not run at all and if necessary the equipment damages!
Java 17.12.03Many Java applications run (usually) only in the telephone memory - Java Apps of other devices use often only small parts of the display.Note! There are also applications those does not run at all and if necessary the equipment damages!
Apps install 13.01.04How do I install Apps/Games on the Nokia 6600?· Via PC Suite with "application install"... are the "standard possibility"· Or * the sis or * jar (one does not need * the jad file) in the listing "Others" on MMC the Card to copy (either by PC Suite (then the listing "other one" is called or via MMC Card reader at the PC). Then the file e.g. with the file manager simply click/start. (the file "Others" is called now other ones "on the German Nokia 6600".)Tap: If one starts the file with the file manager, then she is deleted automatically after installation (storage location saves).If one starts the file e.g. with the FExplorer, then this is not deleted after installation. Advantage: Thus one can install e.g. Java Games (only in the telephone memory to be installed to be able) and after playing again deinstallieren... then has one the play still on MMC the Card - this saves storage location in the telephone, costs however place on MMC the Card!
How do I get SW inexpensive (thus not by MMS) on the Nokia 6600 - without infrared (IR) or Bluetooth (BT)?· With MMC a Card reader and the SW attaches MMC the Card from the equipment to the PC there (best in the listing "Others" copy, from it in the Nokia with file manager start - the listing on MMC the Card is called then "other one".· Or by IR (without PC Suite): Sending file with the right mouse button click and "send at infrarotempfaenger" select. The file lands in the post office entrance and can be installed from there.· Or (not completely free of charge) however more favorably than MMS via E-Mail at a POP3 p.o. box send (e.g. Web.de) and then via E-Mail account on the Handy down-load there.
MP3/PC Suite 26.01.04If one wants to use e.g. a MP3 Player and to load then appropriate MP3 files via PC Suite on Handy, then these are converted automatically into * the wav format.Solution: Either in the system control with PC Suite the conversion deactivate or "* mp3 - > right-click - > sending on. - > Bluetooth (BT) - > Nokia 6600 "or naturally with a Card reader on direct on MMC write.It is meaningful the MP3-Files to make as small as possible - e.g. with LAMEWIN32 - there the RazorLAME interface use, then all adjusting (under Edit - LAME option: On 64KB and on mono) and on Encode go to bit rate...Or with "Goldwave" (Freeware) Then we follows proceed: Goldwave start, click on "file", then you go adjusting to "batches conversion", with file type MPEG audio (* mp3), with attribute "Layer 3, 32000Hz, mono, 64kbps" to adjust, now to "ADD files" click and to MP3 files select, with "destination folder" place one where the new (small) MP3 store to become to be supposed, then on "Begin" click...Typically approx. 5MB becomes large MP3s then smaller than 2MB... saves place on the MMC...However e.g. UltraMP3 heard then a genuine "problem in quality" the files itself then dreadfully. With the MP3 Player of Viking sound themselves the files however super.
Standby time extend, Akku 16.12.03To extend and/or as one can to be saved some Tipps like one the Standby time according to river can:· Bluetooth (BT) and infrared (IR) should be activated (for river to save) as few ones as possible.· The display lighting should few be activated and the display if possible darkness be adjusted.· The equipment should change as fast as possible (= after short time) in the Bildschirmschoner mode (attitudes - > telephone - > display - > time to B.schirmsch.: 1 minute)· Cellbroadcast should be "out" (reports - > options - > Cell Broadcast - > options - > attitudes - > receipt: out)· The background picture (topics - changing (active topic) - background - "none" select) does not cost allegedly also river... has I examined...However shop of the menu and/or the change goes (without background picture) definitely faster... if necessary costs the shop/representing each times something to "Akkuleistung"...· Whether in the background running programs an influence on the Standby time have are still unknown (me).There are already different left ions with Akkus (for "6600 akku" look for left-ion) with more achievement: 1000mAh, instead of 850mAh... whether the quality and achievement of ok is cannot I not judge.(immediately buy price approx. 10, - euro inclusive dispatch - conditions 12,12,2003)Then there are still left polymer Akkus (expensive, but without MEMORY effect) e.g. .. costs there approx. 50, euro, is however approx. 2 days longer to consider and allegedly all "safety criteria" to fulfill. Look best in a forum for empiric reports.Generally applies: Caution with cheap Akkus! There are some cheap Akkus "explodes" and Handys damages in such a way and if necessary even you hurt can!
Antenna symbol and/or G, G , GPRS actively? 14.01.04An active connection exists only, if G (G with box drum) to see is.In the display on the left of the antenna symbol and/or a G is indicated above. This hangs of it starting from which one with "attitudes - connections - GPRS" selected. With the G appears "if available" and with "if necessarily" the antenna symbol.This is located also in such a way in the operating instructions - leads however again and again to confusion.
Time inaccurately 17.01.04If the time is "inaccurate", then that can have several reasons:· The clock in your equipment runs inaccurately - and/or max. ~ 1 minute per week is however rare .· Clock Sync - see "attitudes - date/time of day - autotime adjustment" is switched on and time in the net is wrong and/or it gives problems with the function. Tap: For safety's sake on "out" set.· If necessary this is caused also by other installed programs e.g. World Mate, World Clock or global time, which accesses the clock.
Favorite 16.12.03Why one does not know all programs in the favorite placing. The answer is (unfortunately) completely simply - the "favorite function" must be supported by the appropriate program and be installed from there (in such a way it is located in the assistance and/or guidance - > It's emergency A nose its A feature: -)Alternatively use the supplementary product line "Appman", then it goes with all programs...
Lighting 16.01.04Over in the closed mode (keyboard disabling) the lighting/light to switch on one must operate only the a/circuit breaker (above).MMC Card(s) 12.01.04(allegedly) MMC Cards to 512 MByte can be used... I use the 256 MT Card of "CnMemory" (Atelco) - are a NoName product, fold however: -)NOTE! All MMC Cards does not function!On the following Website some MMC Cards were tested: In addition (allegedly) this Shop is to be favorable and test likewise beforeHere still small list from maps (allegedly) to go are: Prices of MediaMarkt, Amazon, Atelco - conditions 2003· 512 MT: Binarily, Tec, x-net curtain, Duegi (~ 140, - euro)· 256 MT: Hama, SanDisk, Samsung, x-net curtain, CnMemory, MultimediaCard Association, Duegi (~ 70, - euro)· 128 MT: Hama, SanDisk, TakeMS, Apacer, Samsung, Infinion, Nokia (~ 44, - euro)· 64 MT: Infineon· extreMEmory times and times not... thus if necessary caution is to function to 256 MT!· Binarily MultiMedia Card 512 MT indicates Nokia even on the back for the product description.Product description: To the storage of your data in the following devices:·Digital cameras of Yashica, Ricoh, Konica, u.s.w.·MP3 Player of Pontis, Grundig, u.s.w.·Mobile telephones of Siemens, Nokia , u.s.w.·Voice of recorder·PDAs, HPCs of Casio, Palm, u.s.w.·Palmtops·Notebook computer·This map works in each equipment, that to MultiMedia maps after that MMC standard is ! compatible... "Note: A 512MB MMC Card does not put e.g. accurately 512MB at memory at the disposal, but "only" approx. to 499MB. That lies to the wrong "Umrechung" with 1000 instead of 1024... is thus completely normal.In addition the nose note that MMC a password cannot be furnished on all MMC mapsVideo length 10 seconds 29.12.03Videos can only to max. 100 KByte = 10 seconds to be taken up... we "to wait" for an auxiliary W, which eliminates this restriction: -)With the "ETI Camcorder" does not give it this restriction - however one must take up then without clay/tone...In addition the "Cam pro" (and/or Philipps Camcoder pro starting from V 3.7.4) is to solve the problem - there one in addition many other things - also MPEG-4 format, etc. can adjust.Films reel, with RealPlayer 13.01.04Video/films can be vorgepult with the RealPlayer as one the Navikey/Joystick press upward... rewind downward. Links/recht = loud. Is located also in such a way in the operating instructions...
Program one meadow, Java 14.01.04With the Prog. Manager gives it to 2 Icons (small boxes) - either blue for Java applications or orange for not Java Apllikationen. Additionally the small box can be half empty - i.e. that the application (still) is not completely installed. Is located in such a way in the operating instructions... I however ever did not see.Unfortunately there is no possibility sorted according to telephone memory and MMC Card memory or otherwise as categorizes the programs indicate to let or several remove at the same time to let -Hardware open and/or divide 25.01.04Here a guidance to "divide" and/or take apart the Nokia 6600 (with many pictures in individual steps):
Display, scratch 17.01.04If one will tighten scratches from the display polished (e.g. with display polish DISPLEX) one that the Nokia 6600 has a clear film of varnish over the display. If one the clear film of varnish completely away-polished goes also the scratches away...If someone polishes times its display and is then surprised which for marks or edges are - simply continue to polish to the layer completely away is. By the way the layer does not have influence on the colour or the contrast or so. Thus you do not need to have a fear the clear film of varnish to away-polish.SMS remains "hanging" 17.01.04If the symbol for "post office exit" (the Koerbchen with the arrow upward) does not disappear on the top right in the display (the SMS not to be thus sent can), then can one these manually in the file report exit (and/or drafts) delete.To SMS Tipps & cheat SMS "retard", acknowledgment of receipt, reports, etc.. 27.01.04· Send deferred and/or retard:* LATER h#[SMS text ] - SMS sMS-Textanfang, "h" write are the deceleration time in hours (goes allegedly also with "L" instead of "LATER"). The transmission was indicated effected after the hours as "h" (max. 640) - simply as normal SMS to mail.· Acknowledgment of receipt and/or transmission reports:* N # - with acknowledgment of receipt/Notification (when the message was set to the Handy transferred and/or), and behind it the text... with D1 one (allegedly) must use * T #.In the setting report as own SMS stands then also the "identification number" (MsgCode) comes, which one needs if necessary for inquiry/deletion - s.u.This goes with 6600 also via menu: Reports - options - attitudes - short reports - report provide, then however no own SMS comes, but one must in "reports - reports" check...·
Status inquiry:* I [ call number ] # - inquiry/Inquiery: Additional inquiry over feed. MsgCODE of the last SMS is also back sent.·
SMS delete (only if yet not set):* D [ call number ] MsgCODE # - deletion/DELETE: Do not delete yet set SMS. MsgCODE of INQUIRY use (s.o.).·
SMS without senders and Flash SMS dispatch:SMSXtender is a small J2ME-Applikation, which does not make so far possible functions available for SMS:- manipulation of the Telefonummer indicated with receiver- "Flash SMS" those to be permanently indicated- as well as a very favorable SMS dispatch (0,07€ world-wide + InterNet connection)Unfortunately one must register oneself however and have a password, in addition for dispatching the SMS a connection to the Web is developed.
Binarily SIM adapter 27.01.04Who a private and a service Handy (and/or two SIM maps) has can with a dual SIM adapter both maps in the Handy use at the same time and annoying map changes (and thus also wear) avoid...Here a left to the appropriate hardware: for ~ 27, €If the adapter is not correctly functioned to something paper if necessary behind the SIM to put, so that the contacts become well "pressed" - with the Nokia 6600 this should not be necessary however.Disadvantages: One must "cut" both windshield frame section and the current consumption is also somewhat higher, since both SIM maps are switched on the current supply to hang and only the data lines.
Bluejacking 28.12.03Bluejacker is a technical term from "Bluetooth" (BT) and "Hijacker" and designates humans, who send with their BT able Handys messages to other mobile telephones.The range of the BT Funksignale is very small, after approximately ten meters is conclusion. One can become thus only the Bluejacker, if one is its possible "victims" very close.Function does this as follows: Best one sends a note (goes only with compatible Nokia Handys) or a visiting card with any text in it (should function with several Handys) by BT simply loosely. All in the environment of approx. 10m the BT receipt to have activated should see the Message then...WAP, MMS, Web, InterNet, E-Mail configuration 21.01.04Contact your service provider website
Icons and program names change 28.01.04Changes are only over auxiliary W possible e.g. with the program "Icon Changer" (Freeware) Changing of the Icons of system programs is possible because of a nose/feature for kind of condition of the menu. This searches first on C: and E: in System\Apps \ after the program, before it on the ROM Z: afterwards searches.And the things such as menu, Bluetooth, etc., stop all Icons except the files, are also programs, which lie in Z:\system\apps \.Now the Icon Changer on C puts: or E: Drive a new file on. Example BluetoothIcon: Program is under Z:\System\Apps\BtUi \Icon Changer provides C:\System\Apps\BtUi \ and copies into the new file a small program, which continues to do nothing, as to the program on Z: to left. This small program has then still another new Icon and (assumption) the same UID as the original program.For providing own Icons one benoetit a Symbian SDK. Without that one cannot provide own Icons. The Icons in the Handy is also no simple image files, but resembles rather small programs. In order to provide a Icon, one must "program" a Script, the pictures in the correct dissolution, color and format is present to have and afterwards its Icon compile.For it a Series 60 SDK version 1.x. is needed (with new 2,0 for 6600 the Wizard does not function first times). Bare "WildSkinz" do not use - this shoots (allegedly) the 6600 up software!!
Defragmentieren MMC 30.01.04A Defragmentieren of the MMC created with some Usern up to 5MB more place (goes naturally only in additionally the Card Reader/Writer at the PC).NOTE! With some other Usern the Nokia did not recognize afterwards MMC the no more - therefore I would generally advise against!File system, file, listing 29.01.04Enclosed a small overview about "file structure" and listing/file, etc..

THE DRAWBACKS OF NOKIA 6220 CLASSIC


The drawbacks of Nokia 6220 Classic
After using the Nokia 6220 Classic, here I think are some of the areas for improvement:1) The shutter sound is not able to be disabled. It should provide an option for the users to disable the shutter sound, it is too loud!2) The option to disable red light search during focus phase.3) The option to have a shutter button at the keypad, as currently only the shutter button can take the shutter, if there is another button at the keypad can take the shutter would be good.4) Make the shutter button be the short cut to activate the camera.
5) The cover for the camera should be improved, it seems very fragile at the moment.6) Improve the speed when the screen is switched from vertical to horizontal.7) The ability to disable the log for the sms, now every single sms in or not, is being recorded together with the incoming and outgoing call.8) Make the activation of the camera be faster.
9) No "delete all" function for the sms messages.I will talk about it more in the coming posts.

Even More About Mobile Phone...


Most of the new digital cell phones have some sort of entertainment programing on them, ranging from simple dice-throwing games to memory and logic puzzles.About 22% of American teenagers (more girls than boys) own a cell phone and it is now possible to locate a person using a cellular phone down to a range of a few meters anywhere in the world!The GSM standard for digital cell phones was established in Europe in the mid-1980's; long before digital cell phones became common place in America. Cell phones are more popular in Europe than they in the United States with more than 60 percent of Europeans owning a cell phone; compared to about 40 percent of Americans owning a cell phone.Facts for Cell Phone:One of the most interesting features of a cell phone is it is really a radio -- a very sophisticated radio, but a radio nonetheless. Wireless communications can trace its roots to the invention of a radio by Nikolai Tesla in the 1880's. Alexander Bell - Meets Tesla and it was only a matter of time before these two technologies would merge.In the days before cell phones, people who needed mobile-communication ability installed radio telephones in their cars. In the radio-telephone system, there was one central antenna tower per city, and perhaps 25 channels available on that tower. This central antenna meant that the phone in your car needed a very powerful transmitter; one big enough to transmit 40 or 50 miles (about 70 km). It also meant that not many people could use them as there just were just not enough channels to go around. (Rem,mber the ol' *party line*?)The genius of the cell system is the division of a city into small cells (ergo the name) that allows extensive frequency reuse across a city so that millions of people can use cell phones at the same time. In the typical analog cell phone system of the USA, the cell phone carrier receives about 800 frequencies to use across a city. The carrier chops up the city into cells. Each cell is typically sized at about 10 square miles (26 square kilometers).A single cell in an analog system uses one-seventh of the available duplex voice channels. That is, each cell (of the seven on a hexagonal grid) is using one-seventh of the available channels so it has a unique set of frequencies and there are no collisions: In other words, in any cell, many people can all be talking on their cell phone at the same time. With digital transmission methods, the number of available channels increases. Some digital systems can carry three times as many calls as an analog system can, so each cell has about 168 channels available at one time.If you take a cell phone apart, you find that it contains just a few individual parts: A circuit board (which contains the "brains" of the phone) An antenna A liquid crystal display or more commonly called a (LCD) A keyboard A microphone A speaker A batteryProblem with Cell Phones:Generally, non-repairable internal corrosion of parts results if you get the phone wet or use wet hands to push the buttons. If the phone does get wet, be sure it is totally dry before you switch it on so you can try to avoid damaging internal parts. (Use a hair-dryer or bathroom hand dryer.) Extreme heat in a car can damage the battery or the cellphones electronics. Extreme cold may cause a momentary loss of the screen display. Analog cell phones suffer from a problem known as "cloning." A phone is "cloned" when someone steals its ID numbers and is then able to make fraudulent calls on the owner's account.Here is how cloning occurs: When your phone makes a call, it transmits the ESN and MIN to the network at the beginning of the call. The MIN/ESN pair is a unique tag for your phone -- this is how the phone company knows who to bill for the call. When your phone transmits its MIN/ESN pair, it is possible for nefarious sorts to listen (with a scanner ) and capture the pair. With the right equipment, it is fairly easy to modify another phone so that it contains your MIN/ESN pair, which allows the nefarious sort to make calls on your account

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.
Check your software version. You can only continue if you have v4.33, v4.73 or v5.24.
Take apart the phone.
De-solder the EEPROM (ATMEL AT 24C64).
Read out the data with an EEPROM programmer and save it to a file (Backup).
If you have v.33 or v4.73, change the address "03B8" from "00" to "FF".
If you have v5.24 then change the address "0378" from "00" to "FF".
Write the new data to the EEPROM and solder it back to the phone,
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
