Mobile-mSpot for Android- Free mSpot software downloads for Android.

2010-10-10T22:38:00.003+05:30

mSpot is the service that allows users to upload their own melody and then stream it to their computers and mobile phones. mSpot offers a music cloud service that lets you upload up to 2GB of music for free of charge and admittance it from any Wi-Fi-capable PC / mobile phone or Android gadget.

The mSpot app edge is clear-cut, with four tabs facing the apex of the display: one all for playlist, album, artist, and songs. In accumulation to any playlists you have saved on the mSpot Web server, the first tab also includes a Quick List that you can add to on the fly. The other tabs are self-explanatory, but it's worth mentioning that there's a handy "shuffle all" task at the apex of the song catalog.

MSpot's playback display is also pretty typical and clear-cut. Album art sits dead center and can be exaggerated to fill up more than half the display with a single hit. However, this will hide further functionality, such as shuffle and repeat options and the playback timer (a quick tap will shrink the art right back down, though). The currently playing track name is in large font at the top of the display with smaller artist and album info written under it. reins for playing/pausing music and shuttling through tracks line the base of the screen and are very quick to respond on the Android.

The application got few neat updates, including voice-activated playback via song/artist/album search for Android, ability to stream songs without actually storing them locally (for conserving space on SD cards) and support for USB side loading music files directly from your computer to the phone.

The 2GB of storage remains free but there’s also a new plan, offering up to 40GB of storage for $3.99 a month.

As a final point, in accumulation to Android, mSpot facility on various other platforms, iOS-based devices included.

P.S: For use of mSpot first you have to download the Uploader for widows or Mac. Once creating an account and grabbing the mSpot uploader application, you can upload precise music folders commencing the Finder or your complete iTunes library to mSpot’s servers .

Key in Proxy settings for access point in NOKIA S40 v2 v3

2010-10-05T22:35:00.001+05:30

Key in Proxy settings for access point in NOKIA S40 v2 v3

As we all know, Nokia doesn't allow one to specify a proxy for an Access Point in Series 40 v2 and v3 phones (6131, 6133, 3110c , ) etc.

In its recent versions of the Series40 OS (v2 & v3), Nokia has removed the ability to specify a proxy server associated with an access point. Therefore, those with WAP network plans (such as TMobileWeb users, Airtel NOP users) are unable to use JAVA programs that require internet access (such as Opera Mini, Google Maps, , ).

However, Nokia does allow users to create a provisioning document on their computer. This document, created in wbxml, specifies an access point along with a proxy. The S40 phone recognizes the configuration settings in the document and allows the JAVA midlet to use those instead, thereby allowing the midlet to access the proxy. Its very simple to implement.

The files included in the zip provide some sample xml documents, and the associated provisioning (.prov) files.
Click here to download Nokia S40 proxy settings for JAVA applications ZIP file

figure it out yourself, genius.
NokiaJAVAProxy.wml: The wml file that you can edit if you need/want different proxy settings.
NokiaJAVAProxy.prov: The actual binary wbxml provisioning file that should be sent to your phone (via bluetooth or usb). This can NOT be manually edited.

---------------------------------
QUICK START:
1: Push the "NokiaJAVAProxy.prov" file to your phone using Bluetooth. send the file via "Send File, " option only do not copy paste to your phone ("object push", not file transfer). If your are unable to do it, just transfer it to any bluetooth supported phone and send that file via bluetooth to your phone.

2: The phone will recognize the configuration settings, and will prompt you to save them. Don't worry if it says "no supported applications".

3: Go to Settings->Configuration->Default Config. Settings, and change the default config to [the name of the configuration we just loaded].

That's it! JAVA midlets like Opera Mini, Google Maps, MGMaps, etc, should work now.

iSTETHOSCOPE

2010-10-05T22:27:00.002+05:30

iStethoscope turns your iPhone into a stethoscope, allowing you to listen to your heatbeat and see your heart waveform, or listen to other quiet sounds around you. If you prefer to have no adverts and want the spectrogram option, try the professional version of the app: iStethoscope Pro.

Developed in collaboration with cardiologist researchers. For best results:

- Use good quality headphones (heart sounds are often too deep to hear using the white earphones).

- Press the microphone in the bottom of an iphone 3G, iphone 3G(S) or iphone 4 to your chest. A good place is the apex of your heart (below your left nipple).

- Place the microphone directly against the skin, not through a shirt.

- Take the iphone out of its protective case if you use one.

With practise you should be able to find a wonderful clear sound. Shake the iphone to hear the last 8 seconds and see a phonocardiograph display and a spectrogram. Press the little envelope and you can email the audio and the spectrogram image to anyone you like! Go to Settings and modify every major setting, including sample rate, audio delay, audio filters and accelerometer update frequency.

WARNING! It takes physicians years to learn how to use stethoscopes correctly and the iphone microphone is smaller than a conventional stethoscope diaphragm. You cannot place the microphone randomly and expect to hear your heart - you must place it very accurately. To hear your heart you must learn where to listen!

Six modes of operation:

• Mute

• Heartbeat pure (uses a clean low-pass filter to help 3G iphones work better, and to provide better clarity of sound).

• Heartbeat filtered (uses filters to enable you to hear your heartbeat clearly)

• Conversation (uses filters to make voices clearer and other sounds quieter)

• Clear Sound (minimal filtering to allow you to hear all quiet sounds)

• Accelerometer (maps G forces to audio to allow you to hear subsonic vibration.)

Plus:

• Shake-activated phonocardiograph! (Give the iphone a shake and listen to the last 8 seconds while watching the phonocardiograph display.)

• Email the audio. (On the phonocardiograph display screen, press the envelope in the corner and email your data. It's also a handy way to store your data locally in a folder of the Mail App.)

Most Mobiles Breath with Opera !

2010-10-04T01:09:00.005+05:30

No one might imagine that mobiles will change the communication among people in various countries when they started their journey.

And now the mobile usage is creating new milestones in people’s regular life. You can bank ,chat with your friend from video calling services(3G),play the latest games from the internet instead of those preinstalled in your mobile when you buy, or you can listen to your favorite music just by downloading from Apple iphone store or Nokia music store from their website.

We all should agree that a better browser is always good than a previous versioned browser to use the internet properly. Browsers Play an important role in downloading, browsing or any things you do on the internet with your smartphone.Browser to mobiles is just like a fresh breath to humans because with out internet we can’t breath a single day in our life (Which every one agrees as it is a must need today’s fast life) .

OperaMini is one among those browsers. Mobile Web Report released by Opera recently gives it a boost to itself as it is used by most of the users from Top 20 countries. Opera Mini was used by 66.5 million users, in August 2010 an increase of 6.8 % and 108 % unique users, when compared with the month of July.

Data traffic increase by 134 per cent evaluated to August 2009, emphasizing the increase in Smartphone exercise, and principally the propagation of Android devices.

Jon von Tetzchner, co-founder of Opera Software said “the results are amazing and web browsing has bought about economic and social changes to citizens of many countries”.

Some notable compliments for OperaMini:

1. Find a Page is outstanding when compare to Bolt 2 and UCBrowser 7 .

2.Inline and fullscreen editing a new 'long press' feature will be useful once you find familiar using it .

3. Downloading and uploading files on Opera Mini works as well. Currently there is some server issues because uploading fails sometimes.

Phone number and email address recognition, Possibility to add custom searches are also notable gains when using OperaMini.

As per the report the top 5 countries that use the Mobile Opera Mini browser are Indonesia, Russia, India, China and the Ukraine.

Most Indian users visit using the Opera Mini Browser. The list includes, Google, Orkut and Facebook and the famous video site YouTube. The handsets that users use to access the internet were also listed with Nokia being the most preferred device.

P.S: Most of the handsets that are available in India come pre-loaded with the Opera Mini Browser. :)

Apple iphone shattered .. Cntd..

2009-08-20T14:41:00.006+05:30

So what’s up! The crowd of news gathered some more.

As we advised you earlier that a sharp sibilant sound is an indicator for us to care our self from the damage caused by any mobile equipment. Even Apple also advised this in their earlier reaction to the shattering news to the mobiles.

So we once again advice you if you heard that hissing noise please feel yourself to away from the mobile even if you are in the middle of conversation even with your .) also because your partner agrees to give preference to your safe compared to the conversation of that time.

But still the people who think that media(even blogs) are over reacting to the news and some go a step forward on this and says “these are isolated incidents and that there is not a general problem(By Apple )”, some are claiming Gates(yes! you are right Microsoft gates only!) and etc., but that some undisclosed documents signed by the people who got damaged there mobiles because of this shattering , a car seat also(as the mobile is on the seat at that time) .got refund from the apple .

So without fire no smog will come! Believe it or NOT!(0f c0urse the competitors will try to get benefit fr0m It! )

This is not the first time that mobiles are exploding.The same situation faced by NOKIA a 2years ago in India. And it replaced the batteries with the new one So for apple if the shattering is because of battery over heated (99.990% problems are because of overheat) may be it will identify the battery series and will replace with the new ones.

Apple iPhone shattered

2009-08-15T12:21:00.004+05:30

A first complaint claimed against Apple iphone, that it shattered on a French teenager’s face. According to his mother “my son’s girlfriend iphone shattered and he is observed a sound before it shattered.”

This is the first incident regarding Apple iphone .But sources said that this is NOT first claiming regarding Apple’s products. A number of ipods staged into smoke, damaged the property BUT Apple’s lawyers managed them in the documents from the sunlight.
The number might be for around 15 ipods

But all the incidents are out of serious injuries, and the reason for the incident observed because of "excited (overheated) lithium ion batteries".

Read the section how to careful while charging iphone :

1. While charging don’t make or receive calls. (Better to switch off at that time).
2. Remove any case before charging to prevent overheating and shorter battery life. Like Rebeltouch etc.
3. Don’t use iPhone while the temperature warning screen is displayed except to make an emergency call.

P.S: If you don’t follow warning signal iPhone automatically goes into a deep sleep mode until it cools. You cannot even make an emergency call when iPhone is in this mode. Move iPhone to a cooler location and wait a few minutes before trying to use iPhone again"

Be careful regarding some unnatural sounds while you are using any model mobile phone. Because many mobiles make sounds while they are going to damaged.

Will Google Android overcome Apple’s iPhone?

2008-09-19T16:05:00.004+05:30

Days are mobile os days!. As Google came with operating system for mobile (android) the competition between mobile manufacturers come to the customer happy days. Much competition between companies will ultimately give the mobile users more offers and more features (Unique features or imitations?!!). Without the iPhone we wouldn't have a Google android "iPhone" competitor so be happy.

Definitely we should agree with that apple made a new trend in smart phones, complaints against iphones are also existed regarding its costly maintenance and limited world (Apple controls the software, hardware and apps...)And some complaints regarding 6 hour battery backup failures, dropped calls experienced by some customers but it introduced a trend in smart phone arena. The keyboard does leave a bit to be desired but that is more a function of some large fingers than the keys themselves and the device self corrects words for them so that makes it almost a non-issue. Biggest Iphone flaw is the expensive service.

Some customers feel that more than Apple, its AT&T that bothers them, with "unlimited" data plans that are not really unlimited. If iPhone is offered to other carriers that would be a very good thing for them.

The touch screen technology existed on HTC phones prior to iPhone but Google os comes with HTC(whose 70% of smart phones, touch screens are windows mobile os based, You know them under a variety of names offered by Verizon, AT&T. The HTC Touch HD is powered by a Windows Mobile operating system) and t-mobile communications it is a needed look whether it will do overcome of iphone or not. Many complaints are there also for HTC mobiles let us look at a customers voice” I have the HTC Touch through Sprint and it isn't any good. It always freezes, when it's on stand by and the screen isn't on, calls, texts, and e-mails don't come through until I turn the screen on. I've already had one replacement and I'm just tired of dealing with it, I went back to my old school phone.”

And some are against this by saying “HTC got good quality of products. I had one of the HTC touch screen phone from AT&T and I like it a lot. I am looking forward for the new HTC phone”

Some are suspecting that “Ad driven phone “will be the Google’s phone main policy.
And some are satisfied with smart phones from other manufacturers like Sony Erricson, Samsung etc.

When it finally comes to about cost Iphone $199 so Gphone also near to this and 23sep2008 may we here some news regarding Gphone But until now Google, HTC and T-Mobile USA declined comment on the pricing for the phone. The price will also need to be right, given that companies like Palm and Samsung already offer entry-level smart phones for $100.will Google new will be with more providers? $100 minimum monthly service rate?

But some intelligents thought that first is with some errors let us wait and see the results
and then we can buy it !

Let me know your guess on the design of Google phone among these 4 types

GSM TRICKS and TIPS:-

Before Using GSM settings for your mobile let us know some facts about GSM and CDMA technologies:-

GSM and CDMA are the two main digital technologies that cell phone carriers use to transmit calls. Of the major operators, Airtel, Idea, Hutch (Vodafone now) and BSNL use GSM, while TATA Indicom and Reliance use CDMA. There is also exists another technology called iDEN, but it is not popular in mobile operators of India.
Since GSM and CDMA transmit calls using different methods, they are incompatible, so a phone used on one network cannot be used on another. And while there are some complex variations, on a more surface level, each technology offers distinct advantages to consumers.

GSM is the dominant cell phone technology globally. GSM is the standard in Europe, but it's also present in North and South America, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Caribbean.
So GSM is a much better choice for global travelers who want to take their phone when they go abroad. GSM phones also use SIM cards, which make it much easier to switch your phone number and contacts list between two handsets.

CDMA is used in fewer regions around the world, but it has a very strong footprint in the United States. In fact, its national coverage area here is larger than GSM when you take into account analog networks. Though they won't be around forever, analog networks provide better coverage in rural areas. Also, CDMA carriers have been quicker about rolling out 3G networks. Though the GSM players will catch up eventually, they lag behind as of now.

Here are the gsm settings for the mobiles in India

9 WAYS TO GET RING TONES FREE IN I-PHONES

2007-12-02T15:21:00.001+05:30

Options that require Jailbreak:)
• SSH/File Transfer: All you have to do is drop an iPhone's iPod-compatible ringtone into the /Library/Ringtones directory, meaning you can use MP3s, AACs (protected and unprotected), or M4As. Anything that your iPhone's iPod supports will work.
• iBrickr (Windows): iBrickr actually transcodes your sound files for you, so if you're looking up old WAV sound pages from 1999, iBrickr can convert them into something that the iPhone understands before syncing. [iBrickr]
• iFuntastic (Mac): Same as the SSH/File Transfer option. Just drag them into the correct /Library/Ringtones folder. [iFuntastic]
• Sendsong: Allows you to pick any song from your iPod and move it into the Ringtones section. Install this with AppTapp.
Options that don't require Jailbreak:))
• iTunes Music Store: You can manually place AAC files into the correct iTunes Ringtones folder as long as it has the right file extension. Works with purchased iTunes songs or songs you've converted to AAC format. [JoeMaller]
• Rogue Ameoba's MakeiPhoneRingtone (Mac): This takes advantage of the iTunes 7.4 and iTunes 7.4.1 ringtone file compatibility workaround to get the Ringtones show up in iTunes. All you have to do is drop in an AAC file, which can be one of your songs purchased from iTunes. [MakeiPhoneRingtone]
• iToner (Mac): Copies ringtones to your iPhone, bypassing iTunes, should be guaranteed to work with future iPhone updates. Costs $15. [iToner]
• iPhoneRingToneMaker (Windows): Transfers ringtones to your iPhone, but lets you edit them beforehand in its editor so you can chop down long songs to a manageable clip. [efksoft]

Free Symbian Tricks And Tips:-

2007-12-02T13:47:00.000+05:30

Tip 1 : Do u know how to use the edit button (abc or pencil button)?
Heres how... in the inbox for example; u wanna delete multiple sms, simply hold the edit button, scroll down, and then, press c to delete the marked sms. The edit button can also b used to copy and past text in sms, simply hold it and scroll across, choose copy. pretty good for placing song names in ngages

Tip 2 : Shit happens, on a smartphone, its inevitable u do something wrong, and tis calls for a format of fone. to format the fone, press *#7370#, then enter the lock code, which is the sec code of the fone. NOTE: batt must b full, else if format is disrupted by low batt, consequences will b disatrous
I heard the code *#7780# works too, pretty much the same i tink.

for 6600 users, to format the fone, theres an alternative way. Press and hold <3>, <*>, and the buttons, then power on fone, keep holding on the 3 buttons, till u come to a format screen. tis method ONLY works on 6600, and need not enter the sec code. BUT sec code wun be reset to default 12345.

Tip 3 : TO NGAGE USERS; Did u know u can install .sis files simply using the cable given? Juz plug it in, place the .sis file anywhere on e: (the mmc), not in any folders, root of e:, disconnect, then look for it in manager.

Tip 4: Save on battery and system memory being used by regulary checking the task manager which can be accessed by holding down the menu button!!

Tip 5: Type *#06# to display your IMEI serial number, very valuable for the unlocking your phone to other sim cards

Tip 6: Type *#0000# to view which firmware version you are running

Tip 4a: Set the screen saver to a short time out period to prolong battery life.
Tip 4b: Avoid restarting the phone, or repeatedly turning it on and off. This helps increase battery life.

Tip 7: If you would like to avoid being "blue jacked", keep bluetooth turned off, or set your phone's visibility to hidden.

Tip 8: Don't want to carry a watch and a phone? Set the screen saver to show date and time, then you can ditch the watch.

Tip 9: Save memory when installing apps, by installing over bluetooth. This can be done using the nokia phone suite and a bluetooth serial connection. Only works with .SIS files, so java still has to be sent to the phone, but will save space when using .SIS files.

Tip 10: Operator logos
Use a filemanager like FExplorer or SeleQ to add the folders: "c:/system/Apps/phone/oplogo". Add a .bmp picture to folder "oplogo" and restart your phone! The .bmp picture size needs to be: 97 x 25 pixels

Tip 11: Check if the recepients phone is on
Delivery reports

or

Type *0# your message in the message composer window space then write your message, the recipient will not see the star zero hash bit - just the message When they read it it will relay a message back to your fone showing the time they recieved it. (haven't yet tried it myself though)

Tip 12: BlueJacking

First up, you need to know what Bluetooth is. There are lots of types of modern devices that incorporate Bluetooth as one of their many features. PDAs, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these modern devices. Bluetooth means that Bluetooth enabled devices can send things like phonebook/address book contacts, pictures & notes to other Bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over a range of about 10 metres. So, we've got past the boring part. Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write a message, eg. 'Hello, you've been bluejacked', in the 'Name' field. Then you can search for other phones with Bluetooth and send that phonebook contact to them. On their phone, a message will popup saying "'Hello, you've been bluejacked' has just been received by Bluetooth" or something along those lines. For most 'victims' they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone.

Tip 13: While you are viewing a picture in your phone's gallery, press one of these shortcut keys (definitely works on 6600, not sure about other symbians)
1 - turn image anticlockwise
3 - turn image clockwise
* - toggle on/off of full screen
5 - zoom in
0 - zoom out

#15 u can select all files in a folder by selecting THE folder and copy it then paste it somewhere. however u need to make a new directory. fexplorer wun let u copy that folder together. well seleQ can mark files to copy but it really takes time!

#16: A soft and Hard reset
A Soft-reset - the process of resetting all the settings of the phone to the factory default! No applications are deleted! A Hard-reset is like formatting a drive! It does format the memory. Everything that has been installed after the first use of the phone is deleted! It will recover the memory of the phone to the state you purchased it! It is done by inputing the following code: *#7370# NOTE: The battery must be full or the charger has to be connected to the phone so that it does not run out of power and make the phone unusable.

#17: Formats of images

supported ones: JPG UPF GIF87a/89a WBMB MBM TIFF/F PNG EXIF

HOW TO PREVENT UNWANTED CALLS AND SMS'S

HOW TO MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR CELLPHONE ....WHAT IS DONT CALL COMMUNITY ?
...
may be your problems are alike!..
Some random loser is sending lewd text messages to my girlfriend's mobile telephone. I have his first name and mobile number only. What can I legally do to stop him texting her again? etc.. problems can be solved by,
a link :more problems more discussions:

Yes, she'll be changing her number over. We've already discussed that. But I'm more thinking along the lines of contacting his service provider. Is that possible? And how? Anyway, what else might I be able to do to track down this moron? Should I call the police? What could they do though? Um, both parties are in Australia.
Solutions:-
Change the number. It's is 100% guaranteed to work if the number remains in trusted hands. Is keeping the number more important?

In the US, that's absolutely harassment (especially since it's lewd bits) and you can get the police involved. I'm not sure what the situation is there, but it can't hurt to try. The difference between this one and the other thread linked by junbox is that you have the digits of this guy.

Call her phone company, tell them to block the guys number from texting her.

The same thing happened to me and I ended up changing 'phone numbers. Telstra said that they couldn't (wouldn't?) block a specific number and that changing the number was the only thing that could be done.

I also went to the police but they weren't particularly helpful. In the end, they rang the guy and asked him to stop but only after I complained to the supervisor of the guy on duty who didn't want to help (and who was rude and offhand about it).

I remember finding out the suburb that the guy was living in, but I can't remember whether it was Telstra or the police that told me.

Hope it sorts itself out - it's a pretty crappy thing to be on the receiving end of!

Since we don't know all the circumstances, is it maybe possible that he thinks he is texting someone else? Perhaps you could call and say, in your manliest voice, something like `Why do you keep texting me?'.

A friend had a habit of sending funny / risque texts to his friends. It was always funny for us, but somehow he ended up with what he thought was my number, but was in fact a very old number I had had.

Finally some guy called up and said `Who are you, and why are you sending these messages to my girlfriend?'. He was, of course, mortified.

We'll be changing the number. You're correct, prettypretty, in saying that Telstra won't do anything. What a joke. I don't think I'll bother with the police now either.

It's sorted. The number has been changed. Still wouldn't mind getting some vengeance on this tool though.
As much as this sound shitty it is possible that the lewd text messages aren't completely unwanted, or at least weren't unwanted when they started.

In my limited experience, talking to the phone company won't help. Bosh him over the head or ignore it.

Text messages can be sent ananymously over the internet through most providers. They don't really advertise this, but some searching will usually turn up the web-form that does it. There is no record, other than a probably useless dynamic ip, of who sent these.
I had a girlfriend who was getting calls on her cell at all hours, mostly in the middle of the night. The strategy I employed was basically to bluff and convince the perp that it was no longer worth the risk to make his phone calls. So one night I answered her phone when he called and had prepared little speech for him:

"I don't know who you are, but you know and I know that you are conducting a form of harassment. Further we have your telephone number and the telephone records that indicate the number of calls you've made and the times at which you have called. If you call this number again we are going to take this information to the police and file charges. I hope not to hear from you again."

Never heard from him again. But if they don't back down, even if you take the phone records to the police you're not likely to have much luck. I just got lucky that he folded on my bluff.

On preview: The number has already been changed. Oh well.

This is probably wrong of me to mention, but signing up for telemarketing calls all over the web might be sufficiently annoying (and on a cell, costly).

Are you sure he's not mistaken as to whose number it is? I once got a whole stream of dodgy text messages to my mobile. When I texted back that they had the wrong number they thought I was their friend taking the piss, and I got a whole lot more texts, even more dodgy. I called them directly and sorted it out - and even that took a while because they were at a party and pretty sozzled, and they thought I was their friend getting some stranger to ring up for her as a joke. So it took a while to convince them. But I never heard from them again.

On the other hand, if the messages are scary or really vile, or it's obvious he is actually trying to make her feel uncomfortable, then disregard this. It would just be sad for someone to have vengeance laid down on them for making a genuine (if stupid) mistake.

Ironlizard: in Australia, it's free to receive calls (and texts) on your mobile. So far as I know, paying to receive calls is strictly a US thing. Other differences are that an Australian mobile number is a completely different format to an Aus landline - mobiles are 11 digits, and normal numbers are 8 (with an optional 2 digit area code for long distance).

MOBILE GLOSSARY

2007-12-02T13:29:00.000+05:30

Glossary:2BEDITED LATER
1.3G Third generation (3G) wireless networks will offer faster data transfer rates than current networks. The first generation of wireless (1G) was analog cellular. The second generation (2G) is digital cellular, featuring integrated voice and data communications. So-called 2.5G networks offer incremental speed increases. 3G networks will offer dramatically improved data transfer rates, enabling new wireless applications such as streaming media.
2.3GPP The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is a global collaboration between 6 partners: ARIB, CWTS, ETSI, T1, TTA, and TTC. The group aims to develop a globally accepted 3rd-generation mobile system based on GSM.
802.11 802.11 is a group of specifications for wireless networks developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). 802.11 uses the Ethernet protocol and CSMA/CA (carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance) for path sharing.
3.API An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of classes that you can use in your own application. Sometimes called libraries or modules, APIs enable you to write an application without reinventing common pieces of code. For example, a networking API is something your application can use to make network connections, without your ever having to understand the underlying code.
4.AMPS Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) is a first-generation analog, circuit-switched cellular phone network. Originally operating in the 800 MHz band, service was later expanded to include transmissions in the 1900 MHz band, the VHF range in which most wireless carriers operate. Because AMPS uses analog signals, it cannot transmit digital signals and cannot transport data packets without assistance from newer technologies such as TDMA and CDMA.
"TRIVIA":-
5.CDC The Connected Device Configuration (CDC) is a specification for a Java ME configuration. Conceptually, CDC deals with devices with more memory and processing power than CLDC; it is for devices with an always-on network connection and a minimum of 2 MB of memory available for the Java system.
6.CDMA Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a cellular technology widely used in North America. There are currently three CDMA standards: CDMA One, CDMA2000 and W-CDMA. CDMA technology uses UHF 800Mhz-1.9Ghz frequencies and bandwidth ranges from 115Kbs to 2Mbps.
CDMA One Also know as IS-95, CDMAOne is a 2nd generation wireless technology. Supports speeds from 14.4Kbps to 115K bps.
CDMA2000 Also known as IS-136, CDMA2000 is a 3rd generation wireless technology. Supports speeds ranging from 144Kbps to 2Mbps.
CDPD Developed by Nortel Networks, Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) is an open standard for supporting wireless Internet access from cellular devices. CDPD also supports Multicast, which allows content providers to efficiently broadcast information to many devices at the same time.
7.cHTML Compact HTML (cHTML) is a subset of HTML which is designed for small devices. The major features of HTML that are excluded from cHTML are: JPEG image, Table, Image map, Multiple character fonts and styles, Background color and image, Frame and Style sheet.
CLDC The Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) is a specification for a Java ME configuration. The CLDC is for devices with less than 512 KB or RAM available for the Java system and an intermittent (limited) network connection. It specifies a stripped-down Java virtual machine1 called the KVM as well as several APIs for fundamental application services. Three packages are minimalist versions of the Java SE java.lang, java.io, and java.util packages. A fourth package, javax.microedition.io, implements the Generic Connection Framework, a generalized API for making network connections.
configuration In Java ME, a configuration defines the minimum Java runtime environment for a family of devices: the combination of a Java virtual machine (either the standard Java SE virtual machine or a much more limited version called the CLDC VM) and a core set of APIs. CDC and CLDC are configurations. See also profile, optional package.
CVM The Compact Virtual Machine (CVM) is an optimized Java virtual machine1 (JVM) that is used by the CDC.
Deck A deck is a collection of one or more WML cards that can be downloaded, to a mobile phone, as a single entity.
EDGE Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE) is a new, faster version of GSM. EDGE is designed to support transfer rates up to 384Kbps and enable the delivery of video and other high-bandwidth applications. EDGE is the result of a joint effort between TDMA operators, vendors and carriers and the GSM Alliance.
ETSI The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is a non-profit organization that establishes telecommunications standards for Europe.
FDMA Frequency-division multiple-access (FDMA) is a mechanism for sharing a radio frequency band among multiple users by dividing it into a number of smaller bands.
Foundation Profile The Foundation Profile is a Java ME profile specification that builds on CDC. It adds additional classes and interfaces to the CDC APIs but does not go so far as to specify user interface APIs, persistent storage, or application life cycle. Other Java ME profiles build on the CDC/Foundation combination: for example, the Personal Profile and the RMI Profile both build on the Foundation Profile.
Generic Connection Framework

The Generic Connection Framework (GCF) makes it easy for wireless devices to make network connections. It is part of CLDC and CDC and resides in the javax.microedition.io package.
GPRS The General Packet Radio System (GPRS) is the next generation of GSM. It will be the basis of 3G networks in Europe and elsewhere.
GSM The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a wireless network system that is widely used in Europe, Asia, and Australia. GSM is used at three different frequencies: GSM900 and GSM1800 are used in Europe, Asia, and Australia, while GSM1900 is deployed in North America and other parts of the world.
HLR The Home Location Register (HLR) is a database for permanent storage of subscriber data and service profiles.
HTTPS Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure sockets (HTTPS) is a protocol for transmission of encrypted hypertext over Secure Sockets Layer.
i-appli Sometimes called "Java for i-mode", i-appli is a Java environment based on CLDC. It is used on handsets in NTT DoCoMo's i-mode service. While i-appli is similar to MIDP, it was developed before the MIDP specification was finished and the two APIs are incompatible.
IDE An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides a programming environment as a single application. IDEs typically bundle a compiler, debugger, and GUI builder tog ether. Forte for Java is Sun's Java IDE.
iDEN The Integrated Dispatch Enhanced Network (iDEN) is a wireless network system developed by Motorola. Various carriers support iDEN networks around the world: Nextel is one of the largest carriers, with networks covering North and South America.
i-mode A standard used by Japanese wireless devices to access cHTML (compact HTML) Web sites and display animated GIFs and other multimedia content.
Java ME Java 2, Micro Edition is a group of specifications and technologies that pertain to Java on small devices. The Java ME moniker covers a wide range of devices, from pagers and mobile telephones through set-top boxes and car navigation systems. The Java ME world is divided into configurations and profiles, specifications that describe a Java environment for a specific class of device.
Java ME WTK The Sun Java Wireless Toolkit is a set of tools that provides developers with an emulation environment, documentation and examples for developing Java applications for small devices. The Sun Java WTK is based on the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) reference implementations, and can be tightly integrated with Forte for Java
Java Card The Java Card specification allows Java technology to run on smart cards and other small devices. The Java Card API is compatible with formal international standards, such as, ISO7816, and industry-specific standards, such as, Europay/Master Card/Visa (EMV).
JavaHQ JavaHQ is the Java platform control center on your Palm OS device.
JCP The Java Community Process (JCP) an open organization of international Java developers and licensees who develop and revise Java technology specifications, reference implementations, and technology compatibility kits through a formal process.
JDBC for CDC/FP The JDBC Optional Package for CDC/Foundation Profile (JDBCOP for CDC/FP) is an API that enables mobile Java applications to communicate with relational database servers using a subset of Java SE's Java Database Connectivity. This optional package is a strict subset of JDBC 3.0 that excludes some of JDBC's advanced and server-oriented features, such as pooled connections and array types. It's meant for use with the Foundation Profile or its supersets.
JSR Java Specification Request (JSR) is the actual description of proposed and final specifications for the Java platform. JSRs are reviewed by the JCP and the public before a final release of a specification is made.
KittyHawk KittyHawk is a set of APIs used by LG Telecom on its IBook and p520 devices. KittyHawk is based on CLDC. It is conceptually similar to MIDP but the two APIs are incompatible.
KJava KJava is an outdated term for Java ME. It comes from an early package of Java software for PalmOS, released at the 2000 JavaOne show. The classes for that release were packaged in the com.sun.kjava package.
kSOAP kSOAP is a SOAP API suitable for the Java ME, based on kXML.
kXML The kXML project provides a small footprint XML parser that can be used with Java ME.
KVM The KVM is a compact Java virtual machine (JVM) that is designed for small devices. It supports a subset of the features of the JVM. For example, the KVM does not support floating-point operations and object finalization. The CLDC specifies use of the KVM. According to folklore, the 'K' in KVM stands for kilobyte, signifying that the KVM runs in kilobytes of memory as opposed to megabytes.
LAN A Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of devices connected with various communications technologies in a small geographic area. Ethernet is the most widely-used LAN technology. Communication on a LAN can either be with Peer-to-Peer devices or Client-Server devices.
LCDUI LCDUI is a shorthand way of referring to the MIDP user interface APIs, contained in the javax.microedition.lcdui package. Strictly speaking, LCDUI stands for Liquid Crystal Display User Interface. It's a user interface toolkit for small device screens which are commonly LCD screens.
MExE The Mobile Execution Environment (MExE) is a specification created by the 3GPP which details an applicatio n environment for next generation mobile devices. MExE consists of a variety of technologies including WAP, Java ME, CLDC and MIDP.
MIDlet A MIDlet is an application written for MIDP. MIDlet applications are subclasses of the javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet class that is defined by MIDP.
MIDlet suite MIDlets are packaged and distributed as MIDlet suites. A MIDlet suite can contain one or more MIDlets. The MIDlet suite consists of two files, an application descriptor file with a .jad extension and an archive file with a .jar file. The descriptor lists the archive file name, the names and class names for each MIDlet in the suite, and other information. The archive file contains the MIDlet classes and resource files.
MIDP The Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is a specification for a Java ME profile. It is layered on top of CLDC and adds APIs for application life cycle, user interface, networking, and persistent storage.
MIDP-NG The Next Generation MIDP specification is currently under development by the Java Community Process. Planned improvements include XML parsing and cryptographic support.
Mobitex Mobitex is a packet-switched, narrowband PCS network, designed for wide-area wireless data communications. It was developed in 1984 by Eritel, an Ericsson subsidiary, a nd there are now over 30 Mobitex networks in operation worldwide.
Modulation Modulation is the method by which a high-frequency digital signal is grafted onto a lower-frequency analog wave, so that digital packets are able to ride piggyback on the analog airwave.
MSC A Mobile Switching Center (MSC) is a unit within a cellular phone network that automatically coordinates and switches calls in a given cell. It monitors each caller's signal strength, and when a signal begins to fade, it hands off the call to another MSC that's better positioned to manage the call.
Obfuscation Obfuscation is a technique used to complicate code. Obfuscation makes code harder to understand when it is de-compiled, but it typically has no affect on the functionality of the code. Obfuscation programs can be used to protect Java programs by making them harder to reverse-engineer.
optional package An optional package is a set of Java ME APIs providing services in a specific area, such as database access or multimedia. Unlike a profile, it does not define a complete application environment, but rather is used in conjunction with a configuration or a profile. It extends the runtime environment to support device capabilities that are not universal enough to be defined as part of a profile or that need to be shared by different profiles. Java ME RMI and the Mobile Media RMI are examples of optional packages.
OTA Over The Air (OTA) refers to any wireless networking technology.
PCS Personal Communications Service (PCS) is a suite of second-generation, digitally modulated mobile-communications interfaces that includes TDMA, CDMA, and GSM. PCS serves as an umbrella term for second-generation wireless technologies operating in the 1900MHz range
PDAP The Personal Digital Assistant Profile (PDAP) is a Java ME profile specification designed for small platforms such as PalmOS devices. You can think of PDAs as being larger than mobile phones but smaller than set-top boxes. PDAP is built on top of CLDC and will specify user interface and persistent storage APIs. PDAP is currently being developed using the Java Community Process (JCP).
PDC Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) is a Japanese standard for wireless communications.
PDCP Parallel and Distributed Computing Practices (PDCP) are often used to describe computer systems that are spread over many devices on a network (wired or wireless) where many nodes process data simultaneously.
Personal Profile The Personal Profile is a Java ME profile specification. Layered on the Foundation Profile and CDC, the Personal Profile will be the next generation of PersonalJava technology. The specification is currently in development under the Java Community Process (JCP).
PersonalJava PersonalJava is a Java environment based on the Java virtual machine1 (JVM) and a set of APIs similar to a JDK 1.1 environment. It includes the Touchable Look and Feel (also called Truffle), a graphic toolkit that is optimized for consumer devices with a touch sensitive screen. PersonalJava will be included in Java ME in the upcoming Personal Profile, which is built on CDC.
PNG Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is an image format offering lossless compression and storage flexibility. The MIDP specification requires implementations to recognize certain types of PNG images.
POSE Palm OS Emulator (POSE).
PRC Palm Resource Code (PRC) is the file format for Palm OS applications.
preverification Due to memory and processing power available on a device, the verification process of classes are split into two processes. The first process is the preverification which is off-device and done using the preverify tool. The second process is verification which is done on-device.
profile A profile is a set of APIs added to a configuration to support specific uses of a mobile device. Along with its underlying configuration, a profile defines a complete, and usually self-contained, general-purpose application environment. Profiles often, but not always, define APIs for user interface and persistence; the MIDP profile, based on the CLDC configuration, fits this pattern. Profiles may be supersets or subsets of other profiles; the Personal Basis Profile is a subset of the Personal Profile and a superset of the Foundation Profile. See also configuration, optional package.
Provisioning In telecommunications terms, provisioning means to provide telecommunications services to a user. This includes providing all necessary hardware, software, and wiring or transmission devices.
PSTN The public service telephone network (PSTN) is the traditional, land-line based system for exchanging phone calls.
RMI Remote method invocation (RMI) is a feature of Java SE that enables Java objects running in one virtual machine to invoke methods of Java objects running in another virtual machine, seamlessly.
RMI OP The RMI Optional Package (RMI OP) is a subset of Java SE 1.3's RMI functionality used in CDC-based profiles that incorporate the Foundation Profile, such as the Personal Basis Profile and the Personal Profile. The RMIOP cannot be used with CLDC-based profiles because they lack object serialization and other important features found only in CDC-based profiles. RMIOP supports most of the Java SE RMI functionality, including the Java Remote Method Protocol, marshalled objects, distributed garbage collection, registry-based object lookup, and network class loading, but not HTTP tunneling or the Java 1.1 stub protocol.
RMI Profile The RMI Profile is a Java ME profile specification designed to support Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) distributed object system. Devices implementing the RMI Profile will be able to interoperate via RMI with other Java devices, including Java 2, Standard Edition. The RMI Profile is based on the Foundation Profile, which in turn is based on CDC.
RMS The Record Management System (RMS) is a simple record-oriented database that allows a MIDlet to persistently store information and retrieve it later. Different MIDlets can also use the RMS to share data.
SDK A Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of tools used to develop applications for a particular platform. An SDK typically contains a compiler, linker, and debugger. It may also contain libraries and documentation for APIs.
SIM A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is a stripped-down smart card containing information about the identity of a cell-phone subscriber, and subscriber authentication and service information. Because the SIM uniquely identifies the subscriber and is portable among handsets, the user can move it from one kind of phone to another, facilitating international roaming.
SMS Short Message Service (SMS) is a point-to-point service similar to paging for sending text messages of up to 160 characters to mobile phones.
SOAP The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is an XML- based protocol that allows objects of any type to communicated in a distributed environment. SOAP is used in developing Web Services.
SSL Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a socket protocol that encrypts data sent over the network and provides authentication for the socket endpoints.
T9 T9 is a text input method for mobile phones and other small devices. It replaces the "multi-tap" input method by guessing the word that you are trying to enter. T9 may be embedded in a device by the manufacturer. Note that even if the device supports T9, the Java implementation may or may not use it. Check your documentation for details.
TDMA Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a second-generation modulation standard using bandwidth allocated in the 800 MHz, 900 MHz, and 1900MHz ranges.
Telematics Telematics is a location-based service that routes event notification and control data over wireless networks to and from mobile devices installed in automobiles. Telematics makes use of GPS technology to track vehicle latitude and longitude, and displays maps in LED consoles mounted in dashboards. It connects to remote processing centers that turn provide server-side Internet and voice services, as well as access to database resources.
Tomcat Tomcat is a reference implementation of the Java servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications. It is intended as a platform for developing and testing servlets.
UDDI Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) is an XML-based standard for describing, publishing, and finding Web services. UDDI is a specification for a distributed registry of Web services.
UMTS Developed by Nortel Networks, Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) is a standard that will provide cellular users a consistent set of technologies no matter where they are located worldwide. UMTS utilizes W-CDMA technology.
VLR The Visitor Location Register (VLR) is a database that contains temporary information about subscribers.
WAE The Wireless Application Environment (WAE) provides a application framework for small devices. WAE leverages other technologies such as WAP, WTP, and WSP.
WAP Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a protocol for transmitting data between servers and clients (usually small wireless devices like mobile phones). WAP is analogous to HTTP in the World Wide Web. Many mobile phones include WAP browser software to allow users access to Internet WAP sites.
WAP Gateway A WAP Gateway acts as a bridge allowing WAP devices to communicate with other networks (namely the Internet).
W-CDMA Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), also known as IMT-2000, is a 3rd generation wireless technology. Supports speeds up to 384Kbps on a wide-area network, or 2Mbps locally.
WDP Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP) works as the transport layer of WAP. WDP processes datagrams from upper layers to formats required by different physical datapaths, bearers, that may be for example GSM SMS or CDMA Packet Data. WDP is adapted to the bearers available in the device so upper layers don't need to care about the physical level.
WMA The Wireless Messaging API (WMA) is a set of classes for sending and receiving Short Message Service messages. See also SMS.
WML The Wireless Markup Language (WML) is a simple language used to create applications for small wireless devices like mobile phones. WML is analogous to HTML in the World Wide Web.
WMLScript WMLScript is a subset of the JavaScript scripting language designed as part of the WAP standard to provide a convenient mechanism to access mobile phone's peripheral functions.
WSP Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) implements session services of WAP. Sessions can be connection-oriented and connectionless and they may be suspended and resumed at will.
WTLS Wireless Transport Layer Security protocal (WTLS) does all cryptography oriented features of WAP. WTLS handles encryption/decryption, user authentication and data integrity. WTLS is based on the fixed network Transport Layer Security protocal (TLS), formerly known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
WTP Wireless Transaction Protocol (WTP) is WAP's transaction protocol that works between the session protocol WSP and security protocol WTLS. WTP chops data packets into lower level datagrams and concatenates received datagrams into useful data. WTP also keeps track of received and sent packets and does re-transmissions and acknowledgment sending when needed.

Smart Communications has no choice but to keep its mobile TV service free until it gets a nod from the National Telecommunications Commission, a spokesperson said Friday.

NTC Deputy Commissioner Jorge Sarmiento confirmed Smart's statement.

In a telephone interview, Sarmiento said that the NTC has yet to set regulatory guidelines for mobile TV.

Ramon Isberto, public affairs head of Smart Communications, said in a separate interview that "we're still waiting for an NTC license for Mediaquest."

Mediaquest is the company behind 360Media, which will offer the mobile TV service through Smart. Mediaquest currently has a broadcast franchise that allows the company to provide direct-to-home broadcast service.

Isberto explained that Mediaquest might need a provisional authority from NTC to offer mobile TV service through its subsidiary 360Media.

Smart and 360Media launched the non-commercial mobile TV service in July 2007.

Subscribers to this service are required to buy a handset that supports DVB-H, a mobile television standard.

Asked how many users are currently subscribed to its mobile TV service, Isberto declined to give details.

He hinted however that 360Media and Smart are currently tracking consumer usage patterns.

"To those keenly observing media and the consumer behavior won't be surprised with our findings," Isberto said.

HISTORY :-)
...........................
"The deployment of mobile TV"
services will offer new business opportunities for companies across the value chain, including content and broadcast companies, mobile service providers, infrastructure and handset manufacturers, and technology providers. DVB-H technology offers high-service level quality, low battery consumption, and offers the end-user the ability to simultaneously receive broadcasts while using other mobile services such as telephony and internet access on their device.

"Within DVB-H technology, Samsung has already commercialised handsets based on the CBMS OSF standard and will develop the OMA BCAST standard based mobile TV handset. Its inclusion in our product portfolios will enhance our customers' flexibility in choosing suitable standards based on their business models," says Kwang Suk Hyun, senior vice president, alliance team, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

"Nokia warmly welcomes the collaboration in accelerating the adoption of DVB-H-based mobile TV services to the market. We see that the OMA BCAST standard is essential in launching mobile TV services on a global scale," says Harri Männistö, director, multimedia, Nokia. "Further, the well-defined service and content protection profiles within the OMA BCAST standard such as the already now available OMA DRM, provides the ideal path towards standardised solutions enabling a coherent and open market for successful worldwide mobile TV deployments."

In parallel to supporting mobile operators launching mobile TV services based on existing technologies in their networks, Samsung and Nokia are both active in ongoing standardisation and technology development to optimise the broadcast mobile TV experience. The companies will work on interoperability efforts using the open OMA standard while continuing to participate in industry-wide interoperability efforts within the related standardisation bodies.

MP3

2007-12-01T20:16:00.002+05:30

In principle, it is easy to turn a phone into an MP3 player by installing software into the unit that decodes MP3 music and plays it through the phone's loudspeakers or headset. But only in principle, because MP3 songs require megabytes of memory space and the player software needs more processing power from the hardware than many other software used on phones.

Phones that can play MP3 are often high-end, or mid-category phones because of memory and processing power requirements. We recommend a Palm OS, Symbian OS, or Windows Mobile smartphone for MP3 music. No matter what kind of phone you choose, make sure that it comes with a removable memory card. It is an essential tool for getting enough storage space for music and it's a good technique to use when you copy MP3 songs from your computer to the phone.

FM radio

2007-12-01T20:16:00.001+05:30

Listening to the radio on the phone is easy: plug in the headset and tune in to your favorite station. You need to use a piece of software on the phone to control the radio, and some headsets allow you to manage the radio as well. Radio is a convenient method for listening to music on the phone because you don't have to download new music and remove old songs from its memory.

FM radio on a phone is typically built of components: the headset cable doubles as an antenna, a software on the phone is used as the tuner, and the FM receiver chips are inside the phone. If there's no FM radio on the phone when it comes out of the factory, that's it then – you can forget about radio. It usually can't be added to the phone as an accessory.

We recommend finding a phone with radio and that shouldn't be too hard, most music phones come with an FM radio.

It started with simple beeping ringtones that remotely resembled some familiar tunes, but were still lots of fun. Then, phones improved and began to feature better audio quality and could play recognizable melodies as polyphonic ringtones. MIDI tunes, for example, can be purchased or downloaded for free from the Internet. A limitation of MIDI and polyphonic music formats is that they are synthesized music and can't reproduce singing.

Fortunately, you are not limited to monotonic or polyphonic ringtones anymore, because MP3 technology allows you to have any music as your ringtone – if your phone recognizes MP3. You can purchase MP3 ringtones, or download them from your own computer for free. If you have extracted music from your CDs to listen to on the computer or on a portable MP3 player, you can use the same music on your music phone.

"Our recommendation "is to find a phone that can play MP3 ringtones. With MP3, your ringtone library can be as large as your CD collection. If an MP3 phone is out of your reach, get a phone that can play MIDI melodies, they are easily available on the Internet and if you know your notes, you can create your own MIDI as well.

The best music phones for listening to radio and MP3 songs
PocketMusic MP3 player software on a Windows Mobile smartphone.
If you have a phone that can play music, you don't have to carry around an iPod or a Creative Zen MP3 player to enjoy your favorite songs. Today, having music on a phone is not only about ringtones, but full MP3 songs and FM radio.

We've all heard our fair share of delighting and annoying ringtones blasting from fellow-citizens' phones. For some strange reason, our own ringtone is never annoying, only the tones ringing from other phones. Now, you can let real music flow to your ears through the headset, or to other people's ears through the phone's loudspeaker, but only if you have the right kind of phone.

Those phone owners who happen to have a smartphone powered by Palm OS, Symbian OS, or Windows Mobile operating system, can listen to full MP3 songs on their phones. The required software to play music is usually installed in the phone, or it can be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site, or purchased from, for example Handango.

If you are without a smartphone, you have to read the phone's user guide or navigate the phone menu and look for entries on music. If you can't find anything related to music on your phone and you don't have a smartphone, the chances are, that you won't be able to add the capability afterwards.

And that's exactly why you should know what to look for when you are ready to get your first music phone. First, determine what form of music you want: ringtones, FM radio, MP3, or all of them.

Spending some time browsing various websites with a mobile phone really makes you realise how much faster and easier it is to use sites that are built with lean, semantic, and accessible markup compared to those that use nested tables and spacer gifs for layout. And skip links are invaluable when you're using a device with a screen that is only 176 pixels wide and 208 pixels tall. In fact, it's made me consider implementing more skip links on this site, especially for jumping straight to the last comment on a post.

Some people argue that browsing the web from a mobile phone is useless, but I doubt that they've actually used a 3G phone like the Nokia 6680, equipped with a good browser. I think it's great. Much better than I thought it would be, even though I've been told by friends and colleagues that mobile web browsing is really becoming very useful.

10 Tips of mobile phones usage

2007-12-01T20:11:00.000+05:30

Mrs. Laskowski said the Chaperone service worked great. "I could see where they were when they were not home and I knew they could call if there was a problem," she told me.

Erin Powell also gives the Migo high marks. She likes the parental controls that limit outgoing and incoming calls and how many minutes can be used.

Mrs. Powell says her 6-year-old son, Tyler, "really loved it" because it's easy to understand. But her 9-year-old daughter, Lorna, would rather have a normal cell phone.

The Migo phone is $49.99 with a two-year service contract. The Chaperone service, which lets you locate the Migo phone via handset or PC, must be activated by a Family Share account, which is $9.99 per month. Chaperone with Child Zone, which allows you to locate your family member's phone and get alerts when they enter or exit a specific area costs $19.99 a month.

Disney Mobile
Everyone agrees this is the "coolest" phone of the bunch, because it's a real LG flip phone. Disney Mobile is targeting an older market, kids age 11 to 15.

The phone has lots of bells and whistles, including a color screen, camcorder, and camera with flash. Kids can download games, customize ring tones and display screens. The exterior display shows the time and caller ID. It even has voice-dialing.

The Disney phone was tops at the Carlson household. "It was just a cool phone," Lisa Carlson says, "unlike the other phones that were either plastic or looked like toys."

Mrs. Carlson especially liked the "Family Alerts," text messages that were already pre-programmed into the handset. So with the push of two buttons her son Matthew could tell her "I'm running late" or "Ill be home soon."

Parental controls let you restrict the numbers the phone can dial and receive. You can also limit the hours of the day and days of the week the phone can be used.

With the Family Monitor feature, you can set a monthly allowance for voice minutes, text and picture messages, and downloadable content. When the limit is reached, both you and your kid are alerted. Then you can decide what, if anything, to do.

Like the Migo, the Disney phone uses GPS technology to let mom or dad locate their kid's phone online or on their handset whenever they want.

Disney Mobile phones are available at retailers across the country or online at http://disneymobile.go.com/disneymobile/home.do . The Red Disney Mobile Phone (DM-L-200) is $49.99 with a two-year contract. The Silver model (DM-P205) is $99.95 with two-year contract. Various plans are available, including a Kid Starter Plan with 200 minutes for $24.99 that does not include nights and weekends.

TICTALK by Enforma
This phone looks rugged, like a jogger's stopwatch. It's designed for kids age 6 and up and comes loaded with five educational games from LeapFrog, including Hangman, Math Defender and Monkey Math.

The TicTalk doesn't have buttons. It uses a rocker switch instead. You scroll through the numbers in the phonebook and push in to dial. Some kids found it very easy to use. Others had a hard time getting the hang of it.

---------The TicTalk phone / TicTalk
Image: TicTalk phone-----------------

Parents go online to add or delete numbers and to adjust parental controls. You can decide which calls are allowed through and what times of day you don't want the phone to ring.

The TicTalk was Joan Griswold's favorite phone. She actually liked the fact that "it looks like a kid's cell phone." It was simple enough for both her 6-year-old son, Nolan, and 8-year-old daughter, Stella, to use.

Mrs. Griswold also liked those LeapFrog games. At first she thought they would be "a time waster or a battery waster." But she found they could be used as a homework tool. She'd program her daughter's spelling list, so when Stella played Hangman, she used the words she had to learn that week.

The TicTalk is $99 and available online at http://www.mytictalk.com/LeapFrog/ . It uses pre-paid phone cards. There is no activation fee. Coverage is limited.

Cingular Firefly
The Firefly was the first major phone specifically made for kids -- available since the spring of 2005. It's clearly the most simplistic of the bunch, designed for very young children. Those 5 and up in our test families were able to use it.

There are two programmable buttons on the front. One has a picture of a man; the other has a picture of a woman. There's also a phone book that can hold up to 20 additional numbers.

Parents can set the phone to reject any incoming calls from numbers that are not in the phone book. And since there's no keypad, there's no worry about outgoing calls.

When the call comes in, the buttons on the front light up and the phone plays one of 10 ring tones the child selected. They can also chose from various on-screen animations.

The Firefly can be programmed online or via the handset. Several parents told us making a call to a number in the phone book was a bit "complicated" for the kids.

This phone is all plastic and seems to have a less rugged design than the other phones. All of the parents wondered how well it would hold up.

Note:no sub not considered.

Does a child really need a cell phone? Only you can decide what's right for your family. But clearly cell phone makers see a growing market selling "peace of mind" to moms and dads.
We got four of these kid-friendly phones and had four families test drive each of them.

This bright green phone is designed for kids between the ages of 5 and 9. It has five speed-dial buttons on the front (one is designated for emergency calls) that you can program via the Internet or on the handset.

When a child pushes one of the buttons a question pops up on the screen – for instance, "call home?" or "calls dad's cell?" If that's right, they push send and the call is made.

Migo was the favorite at the Laskowski house. Both 5-year-old Brendan and 8-year-old Naddie found it easy to use. "They don't have to memorize numbers," Janelle Laskowski told me. "They just know that each of the numbers correspond to a certain person."

The Migo phone / LG

Migo is made to use Verizon's optional Chaperon service that lets parents track the phone in real time on their handset or PC. For an additional charge, parents can set up boundaries for where the child can go. If the phone leaves the designated area, a text message alert will be sent to the parent's phone. (Only certain adult handsets are capable of using this service.)

10 Tips of mobile phones usage

What is GPRS?

2007-12-01T20:09:00.000+05:30

Whilst GSM (2G) networks are excellent for voice calls, they are limited when it comes to sending and receiving data. GSM phones use a technology called CSD (Circuit Switched Data) to transfer data. CSD requires the phone to make a special connection to the network before it can transfer data (like making a voice call) which can take up to 30 seconds. Once connected, the data is sent or received and the user is billed for the time spent online. Data transfer is relatively slow: 14.4 kbps (kilobits per second) for GSM 1800 networks (Orange and T-Mobile) and 9.6 kbps for GSM 900 networks (Vodafone and O2).

GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a method of enhancing 2G phones to enable them to send and receive data more rapidly. With a GPRS connection, the phone is "always on" and can transfer data immediately, and at higher speeds: typically 32 - 48 kbps. An additional benefit is that data can be transferred at the same time as making a voice call. GPRS is now available on most new phones.

GPRS is part of a series of technologies that are designed to move 2G networks closer to the performance of 3G networks. The key characteristic of a 3G network is its ability to transfer large amounts of data at high speed (up to 2 Mbps), enabling applications like video calling, video downloads, web browsing, email, etc. By increasing the speed of a 2G network, some of these applications become possible, e.g. web browsing and sending or receiving emails with large attachments. These technologies are called 2.5G and include enhancements to the CSD technology, such as HSCSD and EDGE.
GPRS Class Types
The class of a GPRS phone determines the speed at which data can be transferred. Technically the class refers to the number of timeslots available for upload (sending data from the phone) or download (receiving data from the network). The timeslots used for data are in addition to the slot that is reserved for voice calls. These timeslots are available simultaneously, so the greater the number of slots, the faster the data transfer speed. Because GPRS transmits data in packets, the timeslots are not in use all the time, but are shared amongst all users of the network. That increases the overall data capacity of the network, and it also means that you are billed for the quantity of data transmitted, not the time that you are online. It may mean that during busy times, data transfer rates slow down, because the network will give priority to voice calls.

The most common GPRS classes in use are as follows:
GPRS Class

Slots

Max. data transfer speed
Class 2

3

8 - 12 kbps upload / 16 - 24 kbps download
Class 4

4

8 - 12 kbps upload / 24 - 36 kbps download
Class 6

4

24 - 36 kbps upload / 24 - 36 kbps download
Class 8

5

8 - 12 kbps upload / 32 - 40 kbps download
Class 10

5

16 - 24 kbps upload / 32 - 48 kbps download
Class 12

5

32 - 48 kbps upload / 32 - 48 kbps download

Generally speaking, the higher the GPRS class, the faster the data transfer rates.
HSCSD
HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data) enables data to be transferred more rapidly than the standard GSM (Circuit Switched Data) system by using multiple channels. The maximum number of timeslots that can be used is four, giving a maximum data transfer rate of 57.6 kbps (or 38.4 kbps on a GSM 900 network). HSCSD is more expensive to use than GPRS, because all four slots are used simultaneously - it does not transmit data in packets. Because of this, HSCSD is not as popular as GPRS and is being replaced by EDGE.
EDGE
EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) or EGPRS provides data transfer rates significantly faster than GPRS or HSCSD. EDGE increases the speed of each timeslot to 48 kbps and allows the use of up to 8 timeslots, giving a maximum data transfer rate of 384 kbps. In places where an EDGE network is not available, GPRS will automatically be used instead. EDGE offers the best that can be achieved with a 2.5G network, and will eventually be replaced by 3G.

I have a GPRS handset, now how do I connect to the Net?

2007-12-01T20:08:00.001+05:30

Simply plug your cell phone into your home PC, Laptop, or PDA. You don't need to dial up, and you can be online wherever you go. To plug in the cell phone, you need a mobile phone to laptop/PC data cable. This component is available at your mobile phone dealer. You will also require the mobile messaging software (it comes with your data cable). You then connect the data cable to the communication port of your computer known as the RS 232 connector.

And all this while, I thought GPRS was a device that helped you zero in on geographical positions!

Well, the device you have in mind is a GPS (Global Positioning System); not to be confused with GPRS.
Are the speeds any good? Or will I have to wait ages to receive pages?

Theoretically, the maximum speed obtainable is 171.2 Kbps. "This is about three times as fast as the data transmission speeds possible over today's fixed telecommunications networks and ten times as fast as current Circuit Switched Data services on GSM networks," says Mobile GPRS. But practically speaking, how fast GPRS is will depend on the number of people who are simultaneously using the mobile network, and also on the quality of coverage.

As this write-up points out, if a user had the timeslots to himself, he could even get 38.4 Kbps when receiving data. But that isn't realistically possible. A BPL Mobile helpline operator cited speeds between 17 and 20 Kbps.

How much will the service cost?

That depends on your service provider. BPL offers GPRS at Rs 750 per month.

What would specialised GPRS equipment look like?

GSM World asked a number of leading wireless manufacturers to showcase their images of how the GPRS phone, handset, terminals or device of the near future might look. Click on the camera icons in order to see them.

You say it is packet-based. But what's a packet?

2007-12-01T20:07:00.000+05:30

A packet, according to SearchNetworking, is the "unit of data that is routed between an origin and a destination on the Internet or any other packet-switched network." When information is sent from one place to another, it gets broken up into smaller packets. Each packet is transmitted separately and they are reassembled at the other end. This is how it works on the Web - which explains why it allows you many more options than Circuit Switched Data (CSD).

But I still don't see why everyone is suddenly talking about it.

Well, that is because BPL Mobile recently introduced this wireless technology in India. It was introduced in Mumbai mid-January.

So, can I connect to the Net using my existing mobile phone?

Depends on whether you have a GPRS handset. Some models that allow you to use the service are: Motorola V66, Motorola P7389, Siemens ME45, Nokia 8310, Ericsson T39 and Ericsson T68.

GPRS for mobile phones

2007-12-01T20:06:00.002+05:30

What's all the buzz about GPRS ?

GPRS is short for General Packet Radio Services. It transfers data over the GSM mobile phone network in small packets. According to this site, it is a packet-based wireless communication service that promises continuous connection to the Internet for mobile phone and computer users. This will enable you to make telephone calls and transmit data at the same time. Besides, you can browse the Internet in colour, send email from wherever you are, video chat with friends and interact with multimedia sites using mobile devices.

ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE FOR MOBILES

2007-12-01T20:06:00.001+05:30

Airscanner Mobile AntiVirus can defend against Trojan horses as well as viruses.

Step 1: Secure the network
It's hard to overemphasise the importance of online security for any network. Since going online is a secondary function for most mobile device users (surfing and sending data come first), securing the connection may not seem as urgent -- and that's exactly what exploitation architects are counting on.

The good news is that mobile wireless security is a growing sector, and some solid programs exist to keep the worst network infections at bay. Owners of a Palm device or a Pocket PC can deflect wandering enemies with Trend Micro's reliable PC-cillin Internet Security. Windows Mobile users have other options at their fingertips with F-secure Anti-Virus and Airscanner Mobile AntiVirus Pro .

Symbian smart phones get an extra boost with Commander Mobile Anti-Virus. JiWire HotSpot Helper supports AvantGo handhelds.

Step 2: Block out thieves
The physical world is another source of threats to handheld security. The most recent spate of corporate laptop thefts are a harsh reminder your sensitive data can fall into the wrong hands. Though odds are thankfully low, a thief could conceivably use your information to assume your identity or swipe your e-mail contact list to fuel a spam campaign. At the very least, you'll want to keep out the boldest of snoops.

The most straightforward method is to enable the password lock found in your handheld's native system settings. You'll want to ensure you set and test a strong password that will frustrate any thief who has gotten hold of your device and has leisure time to tinker.

Ilium Software's eWallet uses 256-bit RC4 encryption to protect your data.

Step 3: Protect your data
Setting the password on your device is an important physical security layer to which software applications provide stronger support. One way to keep your data personal is to use a lockbox program that requires a password each time you access your information. eWallet Professional for Pocket PC helps you create and organise a wealth of information -- including credit card, bank account, and car details -- into password-protected categories. CryptMagic performs a similar service for BlackBerry users, and Palm aficionados may appreciate Secret.

Secure your mobile wireless device

Worried about malware attacks on your mobile device? Discover software and tips to stop gate-crashing spyware, viruses, and thieves in their tracks.

Step 1: Secure the network
Step 2: Block out thieves
Step 3: Protect your data

Wi-Fi technology provides the freedom to access the Internet from virtually any location using increasingly sophisticated portable devices. The "cool" factor of e-mailing and instant messaging when you're out and about is so compelling that protecting the device from malevolent invaders is often overlooked. Unfortunately, the same network access that makes online mobility easy for you is also convenient for computer criminals, and even a quick browse can attract damaging codes.

Securing mobile applications requires more effort up front than securing your wireless home network, for two reasons: First, desktops and laptops run on a full-featured operating system that often comes with varying levels of built-in security. Mobile devices, on the other hand, generally leave Internet security up to the user. Second, as each device comes with its own operating system, security software can take time to track down. For instance, BlackBerrys run on a proprietary operating system; Pocket PCs run on Windows Mobile; and Palm devices, like the Treo, run on the Palm operating system. Interoperability is still on our wish list, but here are three steps for protecting your BlackBerry, your Palm device, or your Windows Mobile/Pocket PC from Internet threats.

ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE FOR MOBILES

RYNAMAR AIRPORT

Why would you pay Ryanair a fee to use your mobile phone? Stick to flying plains and stop trying to rip of your customers.

This can only encourage more passenger annoyance and a subsequent increase in air rage. Some people just cannot shut up. I for one will be travelling no more with Ryanair if this policy is allowed.

I thought the whole point of not using mobiles on flights was that they could cause interference with the flight controls. What next, mobile phones in petrol forecourts?

Anyone who thinks mobile phone use will intrude on the tranquil, relaxing experience of air travel has clearly never flown with Ryanair.

Being a passenger on an aircraft is bad enough without having to listen to people telling the world the latest office gossip, or what they had for lunch. I can see people wringing necks after having to sit next to someone shouting on their mobile telephone for the best part of the journey.

No, no, no. Is it too much to ask for people not to use their mobiles for those few hours when they're on a plane? Yet another sanctuary from irritating ring tones & an overly loud phone conversations to be destroyed

Awful announcement- to be shut up in a 'big tin can' for several hours with people blabbering away is just terrible!

I think it will be very convenient for passengers. We'll be able to ring friends/family and tell them of delays and receive emails via my phone.

It's the last place where you can guarantee peace and quiet and no one shouting down their mobile. It's a really bad idea. I would avoid using Ryan Air.

Are mobiles now safe to use on planes? I was always told that they interfered with electronics or could cause an explosion when the plane is refuelling? Does this now mean I can use my mobile in hospitals and at petrol stations - this is sending mixed signals.
Mark Taylor, Bristol

I can't think of anything worse than people making calls on a plane. It's bad enough on other forms of public transport.
John, Norwich, UK

Dreadful. Truly dreadful.
Richard Ansell, Redhill Surrey

The odd telephone call on a train or bus doesn't annoy me, people who play their ring tones or play games without putting their button tones on silent are the problem.
Ciaran O'Connor, Leamington Spa, UK

No call is that important it can't wait until you land. The plane is the last bastion of the mobile loather, keep it that way.
Andrew Burnip, Newcastle, UK

And allow terrorists to detonate explosives they've put in their luggage? No thanks. I'll stick to more secure airlines.
Mike G, London, UK

Mobile phones allowed on Ryanair
Ryanair has announced a deal that will let its passengers make calls on mobile phones and use handheld devices such as Blackberries whilst in flight.

It has signed up Onair, part owned by Airbus maker EADS, to allow mobile use on all its Boeing 737 aircraft.

Passengers will be charged a roaming fee by mobile service provider, with Ryanair taking a slice of the income.

If it gets regulatory approval, the scheme will be introduced by the middle of next year.

"This is another revolutionary passenger service initiative," said Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary.

"We will soon enable passengers to use their mobile phones and electronic communications devices in the air, just as they do on the ground."

Ryanair shares climbed on the news of the potential extra source of revenue.

But with aeroplanes one of the few places where mobile phones and ringtones have not yet permeated, the policy may annoy some passengers,

There are worries that passengers bellowing "Hello, I'm on the plane" into their handsets could make for unpleasant journeys.

Would you pay the roaming fee to use your mobile in the air? Is it worth it? What do you think of this announcement?

IS CELL PHONE ALLOWED IN AIRPORT ?

2007-12-01T20:02:00.000+05:30

Should we have mobiles on planes?

Mobile phone base stations would be fitted into aircraft and the cabin crew would be allowed to switch them on when the cruising height is reached.

Calls would be routed via a satellite to a network on the ground and standard roaming charges would apply.

Both the base stations and passengers' mobile phones would have to be switched off when taking off and landing.

The Daily Telegraph has launched a campaign to ban mobiles on planes but only in terms of the irritation that some people would undoubtedly feel upon being sat next someone who spent the whole day yapping into their phone.

True, that would be a bit of a pain, but just as some people have reservations about the mobile network being extended to the London Underground, there are plenty more who would appreciate the ability to stay in contact while on the move.

Are aeroplanes really such sacred places that we shouldn't be allowed to use our phones?

Charging Batteries without Wires

2007-12-01T20:01:00.001+05:30

New MIT research reveals a way to send wireless energy to mobile phones and laptops.
By Kate Greene

Small, battery-powered gadgets make powerful computing portable. Unfortunately, there's still a continual need to recharge the batteries of phones, laptops, cameras, and MP3 players by hooking them up to a tangle of wires. Now researchers at MIT have proposed a way to cut the cords by wirelessly supplying power to devices.

"We are very good at transmitting information wirelessly," says Marin Soljačić, professor of physics at MIT. But, he says, historically, it's been much more difficult to transmit energy to power devices in the same way. Soljačić, who was a 2006 TR35 winner (see "2006 Young Innovator"), and MIT colleagues Aristeidis Karalis and John Joannopoulos have worked out a theoretical scheme for a wireless-energy transfer that could charge or power devices within a couple of meters of a small power "base station" plugged into an electrical outlet. They presented the approach on Tuesday at the American Institute of Physics's Industrial Physics Forum, in San Francisco.

The idea of beaming power through the air has been around for nearly two centuries, and it is used to some extent today to power some types of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. The phenomenon behind this sort of wireless-energy transfer is called inductive coupling, and it occurs when an electric current passes through wires in, for instance, an RFID reader. When the current flows, it produces a magnetic field around the wires; the magnetic field in turn induces a current in a nearby wire in, for example, an RFID tag. This technique has limited range, however, and because of this, it wouldn't be well suited for powering a roomful of gadgets.

To create a mid-range wireless-energy solution, the researchers propose an entirely new scheme. In it, a power base station would be plugged into an electrical outlet and emit low-frequency electromagnetic radiation in the range of 4 to 10 megahertz, explains Soljačić. A receiver within a gadget--such as a power-harvesting circuit--can be designed to resonate at the same frequency emitted by the power station. When it comes within a couple of meters of the station, it absorbs the energy. But to a nonresonant device, the radiation is undetectable.

Importantly, the energy that's accessed by the device is nonradiative--that is, it doesn't propagate over great distances. This is due to the low frequency of the radio waves, says John Pendry, professor of physics at Imperial College, in London. Electromagnetic radiation comes in two flavors: near-field and far-field. The intensity of low-frequency radiation drops quickly as a person moves farther away from the base station. In other words, the far-field radiation that propagates out in all directions isn't very strong at low frequencies, hence is essentially useless. (Wi-Fi signals, in comparison, are able to remain strong for tens of meters because they operate at a higher frequency of 2.4 gigahertz.)

However, the near-field radiation, which stays close to the base station, contains quite a bit of energy. "If you don't do anything with it, it just sits there," says Pendry. "It doesn't leak away." This bound-up energy, which extends for a couple of meters, is extracted when a resonant receiver on a gadget comes within range.

At this point, the work is still theoretical, but the researchers have filed patents and are working to build a prototype system that might be ready within a year. Even without a prototype, though, the physics behind the concept is sound, says Freeman Dyson, professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, NJ. "It's a nice idea and I have no reason to believe that it won't work."

Pendry suspects that people might be squeamish about the idea of wireless energy radiating throughout the air. "Whenever there's powerful energy sources, people worry about safety," he says. Depending on the application, he says, either the electric or the magnetic portion of the near-field radiation could be handy. Using the electric field would pose a health risk, and would be better employed in applications in which people aren't nearby, he says. Conversely, using the magnetic field would be much safer and could be implemented just as easily. "I can't think of any reason to worry [about health concerns]," he says, "but people will."

Soljačić also suspects that the wireless power systems would be safe, based on his calculations and on the known health effects of low-frequency radio waves.

Ideally, says Soljačić, the system would be about 50 percent as efficient as plugging into an outlet, which would mean that charging a device might take longer. But the vision for this sort of wireless-energy setup, he says, is to place power hubs on the ceiling of each room in the house so that a phone or laptop can be constantly charging from any location in a home.

The best way to discharge a mobile phone battery

2007-12-01T19:59:00.000+05:30

to leave it on the phone till the phone switches off.
Nickel Cadmium (NiCd)

All the foregoing applies to NiCd batteries. To get the best life out of a NiCd, let it run down every second or third charge. Do it more often and you shorten its overall life: do it less often, and you risk reducing its charge capacity.
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)

NiMH batteries need much the same care as NiCd, except that you only need to run them down every week or two, if they are charged every night.
Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)

Lithium Ion batteries are very different. You should not deliberately discharge a Li-Ion cell. In fact, if you were to manage to run one flat, it would probably be damaged. There is electronics inside each Li-Ion battery to protect it from such abuse, but don't take the risk!

To keep your Li-Ion battery in good shape, simply charge it overnight before it runs down. If a full battery at all times matters to you, you can top it up whenever you like, but you'll probably get a longer service life from it if you only recharge it when it is getting a bit low.
Storage

Batteries of any type don't like to be left discharged. In general, if you have a spare battery, it is probably best to use it alternately with its partner.
Declining years

Age and infirmity come to all of us, but mobile phone batteries get there quicker than their users!
NiCd

A NiCd battery will lose its charge capacity, and may run flat on its own. This is often caused by sharp, spiky crystals growing through the separators of the cell, causing a short circuit. It is possible to "flash" these away by applying a very high current (such as from a large battery) for a short while. The current through the spike will melt it away, curing the short circuit, but that's not really a cure: the hole in the insulator will still be there, and there will probably be other crystals poised to do the same in another place. If your NiCd battery has managed 700 or more charge cycles, or has been exposed to excessive heat or other abuse, replace it!
NiMH

A tired NiMH battery will probably give good standby times, but as soon as you make or receive a call, you'll discover that it can't provide the current needed. This is because age and heat cause the crystals inside the cell to get bigger, which means that their surface area falls in proportion to their volume. Unfortunately, there is nothing much you can do about this. If a NiMH battery has managed 500 or more charge cycles, it has done well. Time for a replacement!

Li-Ion

Li-Ion batteries can fail suddenly, possibly because the electronics inside it have gone wrong, but in general they simply fade away. Because the capacity falls gradually over the charge cycle life, when to replace it is a matter of when the charge capacity is no longer sufficient for your needs. Never try to revitalise a Li-Ion battery in any way, or expose it to excessive heat: the very high power density of Li-Ion makes such actions very dangerous.
Replacement

Because of the subsidy system, it is often cheaper to upgrade to a new model of phone (complete with new battery) than it is to buy a new battery. Having said that, it really is worth replacing a worn-out battery. It is common for people to remark that they wish they'd bought a new battery sooner - putting it off is rarely wise!
Disposal

When it is time to say good bye to an old, tired, battery, don't throw it on a fire: it could explode. Don't put it in your dustbin: there should be facilities for recycling rechargeable batteries provided by your local council.

Charging Batteries without Wires

BATTERY RECHARGING

2007-12-01T19:58:00.000+05:30

Looking after the battery in a mobile phone

This page tells you how to look after your battery. For an explanation of the main battery types, see the Batteries page.
Initial charge

When your new mobile phone is delivered, the battery will not be fully charged. The instructions will almost certainly tell you to charge the battery for at least 14 hours continuously, or for even longer. You are well advised to do this for the second charge as well.

Yes, this is very frustrating, and will stop you trying your new purchase out, but please do follow the instructions. It can make a huge difference to the performance you'll get from the battery in the future.

Note that the phone will indicate that the battery is fully charged after an hour or two, but for the initial charge, you should ignore this.
Why is this necessary?

A battery is made of several cells wired in series. Although good quality batteries are made with matched cells, there will be some variation between the cells in any battery.

When you charge the battery, some of the cells will be fully charged first. The charge current has to pass through all of the cells, and you have to be sure that the trickle-charging completely fills every cell, even though some of the cells are "full" and therefore the charger control circuits are cutting back the charge current. The way to ensure this is to leave the battery on charge for a long, long time for the first couple of charges.
Establish a routine

Depending on the type of battery you have, and how you use your mobile phone, what you do to keep the battery charged and ready will vary. If you are able to establish a routine, it is much more difficult to end up with a flat battery in your phone when you need to make or take a call. You may prefer to leave the phone switched on all the time, and charge every other night, or to switch the phone off, and charge it once a week. Another method may suit you better.
Fill it up!

The way that most batteries charge, they are 50% full in just a few minutes, but it takes longer and longer to approach the 100% mark. Most chargers switch to trickle-charging at around 90% capacity (see below) but if you leave the battery on charge for longer, it will slowly fill right up. Most people find charging overnight the easiest way to do this.
Controlling the charge

Charging a battery is effectively turning electrical energy into chemical energy, which can be stored and converted back when electrical energy is needed to power the phone.

In general, the charging circuitry that regulates the charge current is built into the phone itself. It detects when the battery is fully charged, then cuts the charge current back to short pulses to keep it topped up. It does this by measuring the voltage of the battery as it is charged.

This voltage rises as the battery fills up, but the rate of rise of the voltage falls away at the point where it is full. Mathematicians recognise this as the delta of the charge voltage going negative, and this negative delta detection is what the charge control circuit uses to know the battery is full.

If the phone is unable to detect that the battery is full, the excess power (which cannot be turned into chemical energy) is turned into heat, and as a safety "back stop" the phone monitors the temperature of the battery, and stops the charging if it overheats. This could be too late, though...
Stay cool

The biggest killer of rechargeable mobile phone batteries is heat. This heat usually comes from overcharging. The charge controller may not be able to tell that the battery is fully charged, possibly because you took it off charge when full, switched it off then on again and then put it back on charge a short time later (maybe taking it out of and back into a car kit). If this happens, the "negative delta" point is already passed, and only the over-temperature limit is left. By the time this cuts in, the cells can have been damaged.
Discharge carefully

You can buy battery conditioners, which claim to be able to revitalise tired batteries by discharging and recharging the cells. they often fail to do this effectively, though. If you use a bulb and wire to discharge a battery, you will probably do more damage than good.
Why? and How?

The cells in a battery (for NiCd and NiMH each gives 1.2volts) are wired in series to give the power needed by the phone. Without being able to connect to each individual cell, a discharger can only guess at the state of the individual cells, and they generally just run the battery down till the total voltage adds up to 1v per cell. Professional dischargers connect directly to each individual cell, but few mobile phone batteries have the connections needed to do that.

If you simply use a bulb to drain the battery, you will run it completely flat. As mentioned above, batteries are made of cells wired in series, and some have more capacity than others.

As you discharge a battery, there will come a point when one cell is empty, but the others have charge remaining. If you continue beyond this point, you will start to reverse-charge the cell, which damages it, reducing its capacity.

Next time the battery is discharged, the weakest cell is even weaker, so the damage gets worse and worse, until you have no choice but to buy a new battery.

"The best way to discharge a mobile phone battery"

Tip:battery don't ,does

2007-12-01T19:57:00.000+05:30

Turn off the phone, take out the battery and put it in again. Rest batteries for 24 hours before charging. It is known that generally even when your phone is "sleeping", it is not.
Protect your phone against thefts:
The International Mobile Equipment Identity umber (IMEI) (a 15 digit code) is programmed in the phone at the time of manufacture. This will help the police track down the phone if it is stolen. To know this number: 1. Type *#06# on the mobile. 2. A number appears. 3. Confirm this with the number on the battery. If this does not match then it means that the phone has been tampered with or is refurbished. 4. Note the number in a safe place.

"DOs AND DON'Ts OF BATTERY USE:

2007-12-01T19:56:00.000+05:30

Battery Do's:
* Fully charge/discharge battery up to 4 cycles before achieving full capacity of a new battery
* Fully discharge and then fully charge the battery every two to three weeks.
* Run the device under the battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in the user's manual.

* Remove from the device and store in a cool, dry, clean place if the battery will not be in use for a month or longer.
* Recharge the battery after a storage period Ensure maximum performance of the battery by optimizing the device's power management features. Refer to the manual for further instructions.

Battery Don'ts:
* Do not short-circuit. A short-circuit may cause severe damage to the battery.

* Do not drop, hit or otherwise abuse the battery as this may result in the exposure of the cell contents, which are corrosive.

* Do not expose the battery to moisture or rain.

* Keep battery away from fire or other sources of extreme heat. Do not incinerate. Exposure of battery to extreme heat may result in an explosion

What is "memory effect"?

2007-12-01T19:55:00.000+05:30

A partially discharged battery at times does not fully discharges before recharging. It sort of "forgets" to do so. This is what is the memory effect. For e.g. if you fully charge your battery and then use only 50% of its capacity before the next recharge, eventually the battery will become unaware of its extra 50% capacity, which has remained unused. The battery will remain functional, but only at 50% of its original capacity. To deal with this, always fully discharge your battery, before recharging it. This can be done by, unplugging the device's AC adapter and letting the device run on the battery until it ceases to function. This will help your battery remain healthy.
What Are Volts and Milliamp-hours (mAH)?
These are ratings on every battery. Milliamp-hours or (mAH), is one-thousandth of an amp-hour (1AH = 1000mAH). The voltage of the new battery should always match the voltage of your original unless the batteries are different chemistries. NiMH and Li-Ion batteries have different voltage ratings, even if they're for the same device.
How long do typical batteries last?
Generally, 11/2 - 3 years, or 500-800 charge-discharge cycles. As the rechargeable battery begins to die, there is a decline in the running time of the battery, till it reaches to 50% of its running time, and you need a new battery.
Can I recycle my old battery?
NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries should be recycled. Be environmentally conscious - do NOT throw these batteries in the trash.
How long will my new battery run?
Battery run-time is difficult to determine. Actual battery running time depends upon the power demands made by the mobile phone. The use of the screen, the device and other accessories results in an additional drain upon the battery, effectively reducing its running time. The total run-time of the battery is also dependent upon the design of the mobile phone.

"My new battery isn't charging. Is it defective?"

2007-12-01T19:54:00.000+05:30

One needs to discharge and recharge a new battery at least 2-4 times for it to reach it's maximum rated capacity, as most of these new batteries, are not charged. An overnight charge or 12 hours, is a good enough time for your battery. An indication could be the battery getting warm to the touch. When charging the battery for the first time, the device may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is normal with
rechargeable batteries. New batteries are hard for the device to charge; they have never been fully charged and not "broken in." Sometimes the device's charger will stop charging a new battery before it is fully charged. If this happens, remove the battery from the device and then reinsert it. The charge cycle should begin again.

What is "memory effect"?

how to increase battery life?

2007-12-01T19:49:00.001+05:30

Are you the kind of person for whom a mobile phone is more than just a necessity and is more of a lifeline? And you wish your battery did not run out on you so often? It is possible to get more out of your battery, you just have to keep a few things in mind.
GET THE MOST FROM YOUR CELL PHONE BATTERY:

Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries, which do not suffer from the memory effect. Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time.
Always use a battery charger, which is by the same manufacturer as your phone, it gives it more life. It also helps if you overcharge your battery now and then.
Keep the Batteries Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device.
Do not leave your cell phone near any source of heat, a common place being the dashboard of your car, as extreme heat may affect the battery. The battery also operates better at room temperature, vis-à-vis extreme cold.
The vibrator mode of your cell phone consumes more battery, so when not needed, use the ring-tone mode.
Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the battery for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. Batteries tend to de-charge when not in use, so make sure you charge them again before using. The performance of any cell phone battery, however, no matter how properly cared for, usually diminishes after about a year. It is better to get your battery replaced then.
