Nokia 5110 |
Nokia 5110
*#06# for checking the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment
Identity) Information you get from the IMEI:
XXXXXX XX XXXXXX X
TAC FAC SNR SP
TAC = Type approval code
FAC = Final assembly code
SNR = Serial number
SP = Spare
*#0000# To view Software Version.
#746025625# [*#sim0clock#]
Checks if the sim clock can be stopped. Sim clock stop is a kind
of stand-by mode which will save battery time. This code doesn't
work with software version 4.59.
*#92702689# [*#war0anty#]
You don't need the warranty-codes any more - you can just scroll
through the information like in any other menu. It has the the
same data as 81xx and 31xx phones (with "Edit" button for
purchase date, and "User data transfer").
Menu:
1: Displays Serial Number.
2: Displays the Month and Year of Manufacture (0997)
3: Displays (if there) the date where the phone was purchased (MMYY)
you can here set the Purchasing Date (Warning: You can only do
this once - so be careful what you write...)
4: Displays the date of the last repairment - if found (0000)
6: Does anyone know if this is for upgrading the phone's EEPROM??
(Transfer user data?)
Enhanced Full Rate Codec (EFR):
On: Enter *3370# and EFR will be activated after a reboot of the
phone ( consumes more power )
Off: Enter #3370# and EFR will be switched off after a reboot of
the phone.
Half Rate Codec:
On: Enter *4720# and Half Rate coded will be activated after a
reboot of the phone ( better standby time )
Off: Enter #4720# and Half Rate coded will be de-activated after
a reboot of the phone
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 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.
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.
The Reboot Trick
Should work on all software versions.
1. Go to calendar (menu - 8)
2. Make note / reminder
3. Enter some text into the edit box
4. Hold clear until whole text is cleared, then press Back
5. Press 0. Main screen is shown but a space appears on the
screen. You can't see it of course.
6. Enter 4 digits (1234, for example)
7. Use the down arrow to move the cursor to the left side of the
numbers and the space (2 times down arrow)
8. Now enter 6 digits and press the green "Call button".
Wait some seconds...the phone will now flash the background
light and finally reboot. The trick should also work on other
menus like the profile menu...
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.
Service Prover Lock
The service provider (SP) lock is used to lock the cell phone to
the SP's SIM card. Once the cell phone is locked to a specific
operator, if one inserts a SIM card from a different operator
the phone will refuse to accept it! The cell phone will however
accept another SIM card from the same operator.
All Nokia phones (2110 and newer) have four different SIM locks
which can be used to lock the phone for upto 4 different
providers. But most phones with restriction only have one lock
activated. ( lock 1)
The main code used in Nokia phones is:
#pw+(master code)+Y#
This code is able to check, activate or remove Sim card
restriction (SP-lock).
Use the * key to get the p, + and w chars.
'Y' has to be 1,2,3 or 4 - depending of what lock you what to
deal with.
#pw+1234567890+1# for Provider-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+2# for Network-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+3# for Country-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+4# for SimCard-Lock status
# = DOUBLE-CROSS
W = PRESS "*" THREE TIMES
P = PRESS "*" FOUR TIMES
+ = PRESS "*" TWO TIMES
MASTERCODE = 1234567890
Y = NUMBER 1 TO 4
(master code) is a 10 digit code, based on the phones IMEI
number.
(I can NOT give you the master code - SO DON'T ASK ME FOR IT
!!!!!!!)
Eg. To remove restriction on lock 1 type following code:
#pw+(master code)+1#
If you just want to check your phone use 10 random numbers Eg.
1234567890 as the (master code)
eg. To check if phone if restricted on lock 1 type the following
code:
#pw+1234567890+1#
Please NOTE that these codes could be used with care! A user
told me that it's only possible to type in about 3 different
codes on each lock! Then something bad will happen ..therefore
be careful!
Bypass the SP lock
With a Nokia 16xx/21xx/31xx/51xx/81xx that are SIMlocked to one
privider you can bypass the SP lock like this:
1: Insert sim card of diferent provider.
2: Turn on the phone and press the UP VOLUME key for 3 sec. then
release it and the phone says PIN CODE?
3: Press the "C" key.
4: Then Press * and wait until it desapear and apear again, then
press * one more time and 04*PIN*PIN*PIN#
The phone now says: PIN CODE CHANGED (or ACCEPTED) and the SIM
card is accepted until you restart the phone again. NOTE: On
version 5.04 Nokia has removed this option !
Your number in your display
1. Goto menu 3-7 Call cost settings.
2. Turn ON the Call costs' limit 3-7-1. PIN2 code Required.
3. Put in the limit with the phone number. eg. my phone # is 019
2184697 Enter the limit as 2184697
4. Goto menu 3-7-2 Show costs in. PIN2 code Required.
5. Select Currency.
6. Enter Unit price : 1
7. Enter Currency name as 019 (per my phone # eg. above)
Now the phone number 019 2184697 will remains on the 4th row of
the display. Secondly, if you press the # key, it prompt which
line to be used; Line 1 or 2.
Larger Number Tip (works in 51xx series)
If you hold the key # while you are in the names list, the
telephone number can be viewed larger.
Power Button Tip:
If you press the button for a short moment, the menu with the
profiles is shown on the display. If you press one more time,
the mobile turns itself off. You can use the up and down cursor
keys to scroll and enable a different alert setting.
Crazy 5110
Send a SMS full of . (dots) the it'll go crazy when you scroll
the received message in your 5110. It doesn't do any permanent
damage...it only goes crazy if you scroll the SMS. I'm not sure
if it works with all of the software version but it works with
4.59. Doesn't work on SW version 4.53 ..
The 54# Tip:
Type 1#, 2#........54# on the keypad (when you're not in the
menu) to get the phone number used for with this key when speed
dialing.
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.
Quick SMS Typing
When typing SMS messages, you have to wait some seconds before
you can type the next letter if it is in the same button than
the previous one. For example try to write the word "letter",
you have to wait before you can enter the second "t".. A much
faster solution is to press the # button twice and then the
letter "t".
Free Call Tip
NB. The tips needs Net Monitor enabled. Be aware that the trick
wil remove Netmonitor in some sw versions like v4.73 and v5.04.
1. Laungh the NetMonitor in your Nokia 51xx / 61xx
2. Execute the test number 497
3. Free calling for about 90 sec should now have been activated.
The trick has not been comfirmed working yet.
New Menu on Emergency Calls
*3001#12345# Brings a new menu that gives you access to the
emergency calls ( 911 Etc. ). It will give you FREE calls! (only
the ones you put in the emergency!! ) This option will depend on
your GSM operator, may be this code will not works and you still
can get the bill!
----- Eof.
