I am a user of Nokia mobile-phones for several years by now. Actually I had many problems with the build-quality and other issues of all the phones by Nokia I have used. Unfortunately the time has gone by and not much except the features has changed. So I decided to write a post about all the issues I am „enjoying” with the company Nokia.

As you may know there are many codes which can be entered in the home-screen of your Nokia S60 device, e.g. to see what firmware your device has. Because there are so many of those, and not everyone does even know of them, we decided to write this guide for you.
Some of the following codes can reset your phone or change settings, so please make sure to know what you’re doing with entering a code – there’s a description below every code, read it first! Besides the following codes we also give standard knowledge like how to open the Task-manager or switch the profile in an instance.

It seems that the 6120 classic gets an update. According to Vodafone Spain the 6120 is now also available in an Internet Edition. The 6120 Internet Edition features a 2 megapixel camera, a 2” screen with 240×320 pixels, HSDPA and a bunch more. However, I don’t know why it’s called ”Internet Edition” -it has even no Wi-Fi. Jump over to take a look at the specs.

You are annoyed of your phone because it has a simlock or is from a provider, so that you can´t update your firmware as soon as the update comes out?

So, in this tutorial I will show you how to change your product code. If you change your provider-product code to a free product code you have a branding-free mobile phone.

At first I want to say, that you shouldn´t change it if you have no knowledge of your device. Only change it if you know what you are doing!

If you make something wrong, you could damage your phone and if you have changed the Product Code you won´t have warranty anymore. So first think exactly about what you´re doing.

!!!IMPORTANT: Don´t make a backup over the integrated backup-function of your phone before changing the PC (Product Code), because after that nothing will work anymore.!!!

For every phone there are different PC´s. You can find them in the internet via google, here is a list of some product codes.

Here an important list of the included languages in the different PC´s:

EURO1: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese
EURO2: English, French, German, Turkish, Dutch, Italian
EURO3: English, Czech, Slovakian, German, Polish, Hungarian
SCANDINAVIA: English, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Danish
BALTIC: English, German, Estonian, Russian, Latvian, Lithuanian
RUSSIA: English, German, Ukrainian, Russian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian
BALKANS: English, German, Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian, Greek
ARABIC: English, Arabic, French, Farsi, Urdu
HEBREW: English, Hebrew, Arabian, Russian, Romanian, Spanish
AFRICA: English, Portuguese, German, Italian, French

We have already reported about a blogging solution for Wordpress blogger- Wavelog. Now I’ve found a other solution which allows also TypePad blogger post content to their blog. It runs on S60 3rd Edition, Windows Mobile 5, Palm OS, S60 1st and 2nd Edition devices. You can post pictures and also text. Unfortunately I can’t test the software due to I don’t have any TypePad blog. However, if you’re a Typepad blogger you should test this freeware application. Visit the developer’s blog to read more about it

For 3rd Edition

Do you know the problem? You can’t find you phone and you don’t know if it’s stolen or if you just forgotten it in your favorite pub or wherever? You could either go to your provider and lock the SIM card or hope that you’ve just forgotten it in the pub. However, isn’t there a much easily way to ensure that nobody use your phone, make calls or send SMS and so to affect your bill?

Yes, there is one – Txt2Lock!

What is Txt2Lock?

Txt2Lock is a new innovative security application for your Mobile Phone. For £7 Txt2Lock puts you in control of your handset removing any worry and concern about your phone bill, data and privacy as a result of loss or theft. Txt2Lock will also work in any country and on any Mobile Network protecting you wherever you may be. Txt2Lock works on near every Nokia S60 phone. Check if your mobile is also supported and jump over to the developer site to buy this great application.

How it works:

After you bought Txt2Lock and installed it on your phone, you can see the Txt2Lock icon in the menu. Now you have to enter your activation code and your 6 digit PIN1. This PIN1 is really important and I advise you to note this PIN1 somewhere (not in the phone).

The program itself offers you just one real option. Changing the lock status to off ensures you that one can’t make calls, write SMS or go to the Internet. However, if your phone is stolen or you don’t know where to find it you have two possibilities – Lite Lock or Max Lock. Lite Lock encrypts your memory card and locks all outgoing activity. Max Lock disable the screen and bar all activity on the handset.

Lite Lock:
To activate a Litelock, text your personal secret 6 digit PIN1 plus *1 to your handset. For example 123456*1

Once the SMS is received your handset is locked for all outgoing activity and your memory card is also encrypted.

There’s no warning or alerton the handset that a Litelock has been activated.
To unlock Litelock, open the application, enter your personal secret 6 digit PIN1, scroll right to settings and change lock status to off.

Max Lock:
To activate a Maxlock, text your personal secret 6 digit PIN1 plus *2 to your handset. For example 123456*2

Once your handset receives the text your handset is completely locked and can’t be used for anything.

This is evident by the Txt2lock logo( picture above) on the screen.

To unlock Maxlock press the red key, than the left soft key, enter your personal secret 6 digit PIN and finally just press the right soft key. Now your handset is restored and you can use is normally.

Verdict:
Txt2Lock is a great application which offers you a high security standard for you, your phone bill and also your personal data. It’s really easy to manage and works fine with my N95. There is no chance to fool the lock and even when you pull out the battery and start the phone again, the phone’s still locked. If you buy Txt2Lock you have credits for 5 free SMS which is really neat due to you can check out if the software really works and you don’t have to spent money for test SMS.
