  • Transfer user data to another Nokia phone via Infra-Red
Clock Stopping
To check weather your SIM Card supports clock stopping type-
*#746025625# (*#SIM0CLOCK#)
Revealing the Headphone and Car-Kit menus
Please note that if you do these next tricks, the new menus can't be erased without retoring the factory default settings. To do these tricks you need to short-circuit the pins on the bottom of the phone next to where you plug in you charger.
1. To activate the "headset" menu, you need to short-circuit pins "3" and "4". After a short time the word "Headset" will be shown in the display. Menu 3-6 is now enabled.
2. To activate the "Car" menu, you need to short-circuit pins "4" and "5". After a short time the word "Car" will be shown in the display. Menu 3-7 is now enabled.
THE REBOOT TRICK
This should work on all software versions of the 6110.
1. Go to the Calendar (Menu-8)
2. Make a note or reminder.
3. Enter some text into the edit box.
4. Hold "Clear" until the whole text is cleared, then press "Back".
5. Press "0". The main screen will now be showing but a space appears on the screen. (you can't see it)
6. Enter 4 digits (e.g. 1234).
7. Use the down arrow to move the cursor to the left side of the numbers and the space (Down arrow twice).
8. Now enter 6 digits and press the call button.
Wait for a few seconds, the screen should start to flash and reboots. It should alsowork on other menus like the "Profiles" menu.
EFR CALL QUALITY
To activate EFR (Enhanced Full Rate) Enter the code-
*3370#
This improves call quality but decreases batterylife by about 5%
To deactivate it, Enter the code-
#3370#
THE JAMES BOND TRICK
If you short-circuit theleft middle and right pins on the bottom of the phone with all connections touching each other, the Nokia software hangs! The profile "Headset" will be activated. Before you do this just activate the "Automatic Answer" in the headset profile and set the ringing volume to "Mute". Now you can use your phone for checking out what people are talking about in a room. Just place it under a table in a room and call it. The phone receives the call without ringing and you can listen to what people are saying.
NETWORK MONITOR
There is a hidden menu inside your Nokia phone. If you want to activate it, you'll have to re-program some chips inside of your phone.
  1. Check your software version. You can only continue if you have v4.33, v4.73 or v5.24.
  2. Take apart the phone.
  3. De-solder the EEPROM (ATMEL AT 24C64).
  4. Read out the data with an EEPROM Programmer and save it to a file (Backup).
  5. If you have v.33 or v4.73, change the address "03B8" from "00" to "FF".
  6. If you have v5.24 then change the address "0378" from "00" to "FF".
  7. Write the new data to the EEPROM and solder it back to the phone,
  8. Power on your phone and you should have "Netmonitor" enabled.
The Network Monitor gives you the following information.
  • Carrier number
  • MS RX Level in DBM
  • Received signal quality
  • MS TX power level
  • C1 (Path loss criterion, used for cell selection and reselection). The range is -99 to 99.
  • RTL (Radio link timeout).
  • Timeslot
  • Indication of the transmitter status
  • Information on the Network parameters.
  • TMSI (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity).
  • Cell identification (Cell ID, Number of cells being used).
  • MCC (Mobile country code)
  • MCN (Mobile network code)
  • LAC (Location area code)
  • Ciphering (On/Off)
  • Hopping (On/Off)
  • DTX (On/Off)
  • Discard cell barred information
CHECK SIM-LOCK
Note - If you bought your Nokia on UK Vodafone or UK Cellnet you do not need to check this because they both transmit on GSM900, and they don't lock the phones. However if you bought your phone on UK Orange or UK One2one your phone may be blocked. The reason is that they both transmitt on GSM1800. To make a call on GSM1800 you need what is known as a "Dual band" phone. A dual band phone is able to transmit on both GSM900 and GSM1800, so they lock the phones so you can't use it with any other network simcard. If you find that your phone is locked you can try different software to unlock it. (we havn't found one that works yet), or you can ask your service provider who will gladly exchange the 10 digit code for about £35.
This is how to check the status of the 4 different locks. Aslo don't try entering the wrong number, because after 3 times it will block the phone for good.
There are 4 different locks on your Nokia phone.
  • COUNTRY-LOCK
  • NETWORK-LOCK
  • PROVIDER-LOCK
  • SIMCARD-LOCK
The code to read out the sim-lock status of your phone is
#PW+(MASTERCODE)+(Y)#
  • # = DOUBLE-CROSS
  • W = PRESS "*" THREE TIMES
  • P = PRESS "*" FOUR TIMES
  • + = PRESS "*" TWO TIMES
  • MASTERCODE = 1234567890
  • Y = NUMBER 1 TO 4
The master code is a secret code. The code has 10 digits, To read out the sim-lock status you can enter every combination you want!
"Y" Shows the status of the network-lock. Here you can enter a number from "1" to "4". The "4" is for the sim-card lock.
SIM-LOCK CHECKS
  • #PW+1234567890+1# = GIVES PROVIDER-LOCK STATUS
  • #PW+1234567890+2# = GIVES NETWORK-LOCK STATUS
  • #PW+1234567890+3# = GIVES COUNTRY-LOCK STATUS
  • #PW+1234567890+4# = GIVES SIM-CARD-LOCK STATUS

Madhushala (The Tavern)

Mrudu bhaavo ke anguro ki
aaj bana laaya haala

fir prasad jag paayega
sabase pehle tera swagat
karti meri madhushala

ek paanv se saaki bankar
naachunga lekar pyaala
jeevan ki madhuta to tere
upar kab ka vaar chuka
aaj nyochavar kar doonga mai
tujh par jag ki madhushaala

The poet here again is telling the reader that he will go to any extents, like boiling this world to make wine or dance on one leg with an empty cup, to make this collection of Madhushala pleasing to the reader

mast mujhe pee tu hota
ek doosre ko ham dono
aaj paraspar madhushala

kheench kalpana ki haala
kavi saaki bankar aaya hai
bharkar kavita ka pyaala

lakh piye do laakh piye
paathak gan hai peene vaali
pusthak meri madhushala

utha kalpana ke haatho se
svayam use pee jaata hoon
apne hee mein hoon mai saaki,
peene vaala , Madhushala

Hinduism

Hinduism

It is the third largest and the oldest religion of the World. No one is actually
certain how old is Hinduism but it can be said with certainity that Indus valley
civilisation contributed some ideas to Hindu religion. The earliest known Hindu
scriptures are the "Vedas". Vedas describe the religion of Aryans, who invaded
India around 1500 B.C. The Vedic religion was not Hinduism although hindus consider

Vedas
as their scriptures. Of the Hindu "Trinity" Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver,
and Mahesh (Shiva) the destroyer only Vishnu's name appears in the oldest Vedas. The
concept of Trinity dates back to 500 A.D. Around the same time, the importance of
goddess began which appears in many forms of Shakti (Shiva's consort). However,

Upanishads
which were written several hundreds years later have characteristic Hindu ideas of
unity of soul with Brahman, karma, reincarnation, and salvation (Moksha- escape from
reincarnation). The notion of class and caste which was absent in Vedas starting appearing
during this period. Hindus are mainly divided into three groups i) Shivites, who are devoted
to Shiva, whom they consider as their creator and preserver of the universe
ii) Vaishnavas, who assign the above roles to Vishnu and iii) Shaktas, who worship Shakti.
These divisions of Hinduism are not very rigid as in other faiths and it is not strange
for people of one belief to mix with others. The Hindus do not form congergations and mostly worship at home. They worship other God and Goddesses as well as these are considered as another reincarnation of main Hindu Gods. As a result, the major Gods and Goddesses are worshiped in many names and forms. Hindus have little missionary feeling because they believe that the proper way to become a Hindu is to born one. Hindu rituals cover all areas of a person's life.

Hindu society has a high standard of conduct, with little immorality, crime, or violence.

UNIQUENESS OF HINDUISM

  • There are many definitions of the word 'Hindu' based on geography, religion, or politics etc.
    but none of them is perfect. It is a way of life, therefore, there is no need to define Hinduism.
    We should simply recognise the fact that Hindu society exists.
  • Hinduism is universal and contains different schools of philosophy and religion.
  • Hinduism is the oldest religion of the world but it reforms and changes with the
    demands of the time, thus it is ancient but remains moderm.
  • Every Hindu keeps these four objectives in view and tries to achieve them:
    1) Duty (Dharma)
    2) Material prosperity (artha)
    3) Enjoyment (kama)
    4) Salvation (moksha)
  • Theory of Action (karma): we reap what we sow. We must take responsibility
    for all actions we do in this life.
  • To achieve the above objectives life is divided into four segments:


1) Celibacy (bramacharya)- student life i.e. acquiring knowledge.
2) Family life (grihastha)- enjoyment and prosperity and participation in
running of society and the nation.
3) Retirement (vanaprastha)- delegate responsibility to younger generation to
perform selfless social service.
4) Renunciation (sanyas)- complete renunciation of the world for union with God.

Balance of Mind

Once upon a time Gautam Buddha travelling via a village. The villagers came to know about his arrival and rushed to greet him and seek his blessings. They decided to visit him and offer him some gifts. Gautam Buddha was sitting under a tree with some of his followers. The villagers crowded the place. They started offering fruits, rich cloth, gold coins, ornaments, previous stones and what not. One by one Gautam Buddha politely refused to accept any of these gifts. "I do not need any of these things" was his answer. The villagers tried to convince him to accept the gifts by saying that they respect him a lot and are offering the gifts from the deepest of their hearts. However, Gautam Buddha was firm on his decision.

After some time slowly the villagers started getting angry. "What he thinks of himself? We are offering him such a precious gifts and he is rudely rejecting them" they said. After some time their anger turned into hatred. They started cursing Gautam Buddha. Hearing their foul language one of the follower of Buddha asked - "Master, Don't you feel angry? They are using such a cruel words against you." Buddha smilingly replied - "They offered me precious gifts that I refused to accept. They are now offering me harsh words and I refuse to accept them also"

Moral of the story is - "Very few can maintain such an equilibrium of mind in good as well as bad times. It is difficult to reject pleasures as well as to remain unaffected when things are not in your favor
