Altro hacking per S60 3rd: Startup Sound!
1. Scaricate sul vostro PC e decomprimete in una nuova cartella il file che trovate QUI.
2. Inserite il file 101F8763.txt in С:/private/10202be9/. Se la cartella 10202be9 non esiste, createla manualmente.
3. Inserite il file Startup.mp3 in E:\Sounds\Simple\Startup.mp3
Il file Startup.mp3 può essere modificato a piacimento, importante è che la lunghezza non superi gli 8/10 secondi
Se il procedimento non dovesse funzionare, potete procedere in questo modo:
1. Andate nella cartella Z:/private/10202be9/ e copiate il file 101F8763.txt
2. Inserite il file 101F8763.txt appena copiato in С:/private/10202be9/
3. Aprite e modificate il file 101F8763.txt in questo modo:
3.1. Individuate la stringa Z:\\Data\\Startup_tone.aac e modificatela in E:\\Sounds\\Simple\\Startup.mp3
4. Inserite il file Startup.mp3 in E:\Sounds\Simple\Startup.mp3

Ecco una pagina dove è possibile trovare moltissimi di questi codici e dove potete trovare codici anche per Samsung
Vi ricordo che alcune di queste procedure possono danneggiare il telefono quindi non mi ritengo responsabile per un uso improprio di questi codici:

[Secret Codes for 3330] Imei Information :-
To view the imei number on this model simply type *#06#
Software version type *#0000#
*#170602112302# shows the SW version.
Service Provider Lock Information :-
Service Provider Lock Service Provider lock is the lock to your phone which is implement by your service provider e.g. Orange onto your sim card. The phone is usually locked to a certain SP but it can be unlocked allowing you access to other service providers that provide a better deal. The same effect can also be used by using a Dual sim, you could have two sim cards in one phone allowing you to switch between sims and SP 1. First sim = Orange 2. Second sim = One2One
Short Message Serivce Centre Numbers ( FREE SMS ):-
SMSC (Short Message Serivce Centre Numbers) SMS Centre number allow you to send free sms, by changing your message centre number like this:
1. Go to messages
2. Message Settings
3. Set 1
4. Message Centre Number
5. Then change the number to one from SMSC Number section (from SMSC #'s given below)
What does this do?
Instead of paying for your messages, you can alter a number in your phone to send to a different centre. This cannot charge you, and consequently you have free SMS!
How does it work?
When you send a text message, it is first transmitted to your network's routing centre, called the Short Message Service Centre, or SMSC. This SMSC is generally a telephone number, normally a memorable one- i.e. Orange's is 0973 100973. Here, it is sent to the recipient's network's SMSC, where it is then forwarded to their phone. The whole process takes only seconds, but the vital part is when it reaches your SMSC, because then it is forwarded, and you are charged according to your tariff. If you, however, change your SMSC number to one below, the network who forward the message will not know who you are, and consequently cannot charge you. Clever huh?
Does it always work?
No! It can take hours to find a number that hasn't been blocked by your network- they usually carry out checks monthly and bar any numbers known to be forwarding SMS. Also, I understand that Orange and all networks in Denmark have barred all numbers aside from their own- so it won't work with Orange or Danish networks.
ISDN Number :-
ISDN number For checking ISDN number enter *#92772689#
Warranty Menu To view the warranty menu enter *#92702689# [*#war0anty#]
1) shows the serial nr.
2) shows when the cel phone was made mmyy
3) shows when the cel. phone was purchased mmyy
4) shows how many times the cel. phone has been repaired.
5) makes you capebel of transferring user data if you have the gear for it
6) shows how many houres the phone has been on Warranty
Menu To view Warranty menu enter *#92702689# [*#war0anty#] Phone asks 'warranty code:' Press the following warranty code: 6232 (OK) : Displays the Month and Year of Manufacture (MMYY)
7332 (OK) : Displays the date of the last repairment - if found ('DATE NOT SAVED'...) 7832 (OK) : Displays (if found) the date where the phone was purchased ('DATE NOT SAVED'...)

87267 (OK) : Transfers ALL phone numbers, pictures, sounds from one phone to another eg. if broken (via IRport.)
Sim Clock Stop :-
To view if sim clock can be stoped enter *#746025625# [*#sim0clock#] (Sim-clock-stop is a kind of standby mode which will save battery time) May not work with all firmware versions.
Enhanced Full Rate/Half Rate Enhanced Full Rate Codec :-
(EFR) For activation enter *#3370#
For deactivation enter *#3370*
Enhanced Full Rate Will give you much better sound quality when you enable it. The new Enhanced Full Rate CODEC adopted by GSM uses the ASELP (AlgebraicCode Excitation Linear Prediction) compression technology. This technology allows for much great voice quality in the same number of bits as the older Full Rate CODEC. The older technology was called LPC-RPE (Linear Prediction Coding with Regular Pulse Excitation). Both operate at 13 kilobits.(but you take up more space on the network, so they can charge you more) - Talk-time is reduced with about 5%
Half Rate Codec
For activation enter *#4720#
For deactivation enter *#4720* In all cases the phone will automatically restart.
Half Rate will give you bad soundquality, which gives the serviceprovider the opportunity to have more calls on the network, and you might get a lower charge from them. - Will give you 30% longer talk-time.

Divx Mobile Player aggiornato alla 0.90
nuova versione di Divx Mobile Player, il player per S60 3rd edition visualizza i video in formato .avi e Divx. Siamo arrivati alla 0.90. Per il download potete scaricare il programma dal sito ufficiale dopo essersi registrati (oppure direttamente dal telefono)
Changelog: Symbian-Guru informa di una serie di bug corretti, supporta il VOD (Video On Demand), cioè è possibile visualizzare sul cellulare i film acquistati o affittati dai VOD partner di Divx, anche se potremmo convertire in Divx un film in DVD e poi trasferirlo sul telefono.
Nokia N78 disponibile
Novità sull'uscita del nuovo N78, modella della Nseries che uscirà insieme al tanto atteso (e modello di punta) N96. SymbianFrance ci segnala che esiste una versione con cover bianca già disponibile sul sito di Nokia Spagna. Il prezzo riportato sulla pagina spagnola è di 419€, contro i 499€ di quanto riportato dal sito francese.
SymbianFrance ha testato il nuovo telefono, in particolare l’FM transmitter, cioè quella funziona che permette di ascoltare l'audio del cellulare attraverto un ricevitore FM (come ad esempio la radio di casa o l'autoradio). Potete vedere direttamente il video sul sito SymbianFrance.

Sbloccare l'iPhone? Da oggi è davvero facile!
Zibri (nick name dell'autore PierGiorgio) ha sviluppato questo semplicissimo software che ha reso semplice all'ennesima potenza lo sblocco degli iPhone.
Gli iPhone in circolazione nel nostro paese sono tutti di importazione, poichè al momento non esiste possibilità di poter acquistare da un importatore ufficiale (o dalla Apple stessa) l'iPhone. Quindi l'alternativa è quella di farselo spedire (o portare da un amico) da un paese in cui è presente, come ad esempio gli Stati Uniti.
Il problema si presenta subito: il telefono risulta bloccato da un operatore. Ed ecco che entra in gioco ZiPhone! Questo semplicissimo programma consente, via software, di sbloccare in un passaggio il vostro iPhone. Basta quindi a pericolosi programmatori o sim-sblocco per poter utilizzare l'iPhone in Italia!
Piccolo particolare: il programma al momento è totalmente gratuito!
Ecco un'interessantissima ed esauriente videoguida allo sblocco:

NSU rende inutilizzabile NSS
Nokia con l'ultimo aggiornamento del NSU (Nokia Software Update) ha aggiornato i drivers e quindi reso di fatto inutilizzabile NSS: infatti il risultato è quello di errore nel caricamento dei dati del telefono.
Ricordo a tutti che questa procedura oltre che danneggiare in maniera irreparabile il vosto telefono, fa anche decadere la garanzia!

Come ottenere un certificato per il proprio Nokia Symbian
Quanto il cellulare consuma batteria e in che modo
Come ormai si sapeva, UMTS, WiFi e Bluetooth sono sicuramente le "cause" maggiori di dispendio energetico del nostro cellulare... Ma non solo!
Un dettaglio molto molto interessante che evidenzia l'articolo, è come oggi, con i moderni telefoni a disposizione, che somigliano più a un computer che a un cellulare, sia quasi necessario "riavviare" una volta al giorno il proprio apparecchio mobile, di modo da "ripulire" il telefono e afare un reset con l'operatore a cui ci si collega.
Darla evidenzia come alcuni "carrier" (operatori) consiglino proprio questa cosa...
Personalmente conosco parecchie persone che il telefono non lo spengono a volte per mesi, poi si manifestano problematiche di invio mms, collegamenti a internet e wap, e tutto si risolve con un "spegni/riaccendi"...

SP = Spare
*#0000# - Phone model, Firmware version and date
*#7370# or *#res0# - Full phone format, wipes everything clean. Default security code 12345 until changed by the user.
*#7780# - Phone reset, clears settings without deleting most data. Default security code 12345 until changed by the user.
*#7370925538# or *#res0wallet# - Deleted everything in the Wallet, in case of forgotten password.
*#92702689# or *#war0anty# - Lifetime timer, doesn't work on some older S60 devices and with older Nokias activated additional menus which has since been disabled or removed form the consumer firmware, now requiring a special Field Test firmware.

Il porno alla conquista dei cellulari (in Usa)
A differenza dell'Europa, gli USA hanno un rigore maggiore sul controllo della diffusione di immagini, filmati, fotografie di carattere pornografico, perchè più preoccupare delle reazioni dei gruppi religiosi.
Da quest'anno invece la tendenza forse cambierà: i telefoni di ultimissima generazione offrono una multimedialità di alta qualità, quindi più atta a "rendere" meglio riguardo foto, film, ecc.
"Se non si evolve si muore", ecco quanto afferma in un'intervista Jay Grdina, presidente della società di intrattenimento per adulti ClubJenna, che ha fondato insieme alla moglie e pornostar Jenna Jameson.
iPhone arriverà con Tim!
Invece ora "Tim è nella lista con O2, T-Mobile, Orange ed At&T con la creazione di un pacchetto ad hoc; ben difficilmente Apple avrebbe preparato il bundle se non fosse più che certa di avere già in tasca l'accordo con Tim e avesse la necessità di tenersi pronta ad un lancio che non può essere troppo distante"
Resettare il proprio Nokia S60 con un click
Cosa usa Darla Mack?
Spesso le chiedono quali sono i programmi che lei usa, e in un post ecco che risponde in maniera davvero dettagliata:
Jaiku - Recent purchased by Google, Jaiku is a SocNet that allows users to converse in a threaded environment. Unlike Twitter where users need to follow endless people to see all sides of the conversation, anyone can participate in a conversation if its either public or one of their contacts participates. Additional user can feed nearly any RSS feed into their posts, Flickr feeds even the images in your browser and very shortly in the mobile clients as well. With the Google buyout Jaiku became invite only, so you'll need to find an invite to truly enjoy this excellent application. Cost: Free, but needs an invite currently.
Palringo - Unlike some other IM applications Palringo is free with support for AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber (i.e. Gtalk), iChat, ICQ, and Gadu-Gadu. Accounts are free but does require a data connection from the device to function. The good news here is that it will work over WiFi. Another nice feature of Palringo is a the ability to have chat rooms, although not Yahoo or AIM supported one, just with other Palringo users. Palringo's user forum has a listing of a few created and posted by users. The biggest thing separating Palringo from the other IM apps is the ability to send pictures and audio clips, similar to push to talk. Cost: Free
Shozu - This application is quite popular among S60 users for its ability to post to Flickr and many other photo and video sharing sites. Shozu can even post images and video via FTP. Shozu can be configured to send to as many accounts as you wish. If you happen to have more than one Flickr account that isn't a problem for Shozu. Shozu supports quite an extensive list of devices and most popular sites including Facebook. Don't have a data plan but have Picture Messaging (MMS) not a problem for Shozu. Cost: Free
Gizmo - IM and VOIP what more can I really say? Read my previous post about Gizmo's latest update and some highlights. - Cost: Free
X-plore - A file manager that goes way beyond the built-in file manager. Cost: $9US
Y-Browser - Gives you many of the same options as X-plore with a different GUI with the added bonus of being free. If you are able to sign your own applications the author has a version which gives you some extra functionality. Cost: Free
Podcasting - A free application from Nokia gives you the ability to not just listen but subscribe and download a number of popular audio and video podcasts. If you favorite isn't listed in the directory or the directory of your choosing isn't listed either can be added without much fuss. Cost: Free
Google Maps - Just like Google Maps on the computer but in a mobile format. The downside is there is no pre-caching or pre-loading of Maps which can eat into the wallet without an unlimited or small data plan. Google Maps does a better job of locating addresses and other locations than Nokia Maps. The most recent update to Google Maps gives you two options for pinpointing your location. Google Maps can triangulate based on cell towers or use built-in GPS. When first launched it narrows down your location with cell towers, then if GPS is selected with pin-point further when available. Cost: Free
Nokia Maps - Unlike Google Maps, maps can be pre-loaded or downloaded on the fly but can only pin-point a location using GPS not cell towers. Nokia maps generally loads quicker and will not use data nearly as much as Google Maps but can be picky about how addresses are entered when searching. Maps are broken down by country in most cases except for a few where they are broken down into states and provinces. If by some bad luck you find yourself out of a coverage area Nokia Maps still functions with any pre-loaded or downloaded maps. Voice navigation and city guides can be purchased for a nominal fee from Nokia but are not required for routing or other searches. Cost: Free, voice navigation and city guides Available for a fee.
SIC! FTP - A S60 FTP client. The developer doesn't provide any documentation but this application does the job once setup. Cost: Free
Screenshot - Does exactly as it describes, captures screenshots. Simple and basic yet does the job perfectly without any fuss or fanfare. Cost: Free
Bloove Agent - This application once loaded on the device is nothing more than a conduit to connect to Bloove's website. Bloove is awesome for editing, creating even deleting contacts. From the website you can change every aspect of a contact, short of assigning a thumbnail. Have groups? No problem, contacts can be added or removed with a click of your mouse. Speed dial numbers can be assigned, even syncing up to 100 SMS in the current version. Bloove is working on a paid version of this free beta version that will allow additional SMS storage and Contact archiving. Bloove's support through their forum is outstandingly responsive. While using the application I noticed some fields were missing that have been added to S60v3. I posted about these missing fields and received a response the next day that they would add them. Within a week the fields were available online as if they had always been there. The first time I using the application about 200k was used syncing about 400 contacts and the 100 SMS. Additional syncs haven't used much data at all since only the changes are synced from then on. All changes are instant and on the fly. I recommend a high speed connection such as WiFi or 3G for best results but works well over EDGE. Its is quite a sight to see when after clicking save to see that contact instantly changed on the device screen, I'm not kidding its that fast. I don't pay for many online services but this one I would seriously consider in a heart beat. Cost: Free, with a more robust paid version in the works.
smsbug - Granted I don't use this one much but it is a favorite of mine. With smsbug you are able to send SMS to anyone on nearly any carrier around the world for only 3 cents euro (about 4 cents USD), that cheaper than many carriers charge for regular domestic messages. Messages can be sent from this J2ME (Java) client, WAP site or web site. To use the J2ME app or WAP site will obviously require data access but this app uses very little data. smsbug's support and customer service is a bit lacking however the cost savings for international text messaging is HUGE! Once registered you can even give credits to your friends or family. Cost: 3 cents euro plus data access.
Handy Taskman - Similar to Task Manager in Windows or System Monitor in Ubuntu, Handy Taskman allows you to see what's running, how much free memory is available in all memory areas, kill or close running applications, along with launch both recently used or lookup and start applications. This is one of those applications that should be standard on every smartphone and thankfully thanks to Epocware it is available on most of them. The links to the Nokia N95 version but it is available for many other makes and models including UIQ. Cost: $19.99
Nuova versione di Conversation
Email - To use email users are still left going into the default messaging application.
Composing - I will say I do like the quick reply field at the bottom of the threaded messages. I do not like how those compositions are erased if a new message arrives while doing so no even saving them to drafts.
Drafts and Folders - Like email and Bluetooth messages users are once again forced to go back to the default messaging application. If you are anything like me you probably file away the occasional message for reference later. In Conversation there is no shortcut or anyway to access these messages.
Message alerts - Whenever new messages arrive users are still taken to the default messaging app, there isn't even a setting to make it user configurable.
Links and numbers - The messaging system recognizes them if you have auto find turned on except for some unknown reason none of them work in Conversation, making them utterly useless.
Sei arrabbiato? Spara al tuo Nokia...
