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

SIM-LOCK CHECKS
#PW+1234567890+1# = GIVES PROVIDER-LOCK STATUS

Mobile Phone Comparison, Apple iPhone vs Nokia N97 Phones.

Mobile Phone Comparison, Apple iPhone vs Nokia N97 Phones.A new smartphone in the Nokia N-series will be coming out in January '09, the Nokia N97, & already all the buzz is whether or not this will be the iPhone Killer that's been prophesied for so long. Here is a heads-up on how the four devices stack up. On the face of it, the Nokia N97 looks more like the iPhone than any other Nokia to date. It's got the slender candybar shape (more slender than the iPhone's, in fact) the minimalist buttons (two instead of one) & the 3.5" touchscreen occupying the bulk of the face. In the hand, you come to realize that, while slimmer, the N97 is also thicker & heavier than the iPhone. While possessing the same size touchscreen as the iPhone, the N97's screen resolution puts the iPhone's to shame, with 16:9 true widescreen (640 x 360 pixels) to the iPhone's 3:2 (320 x 480). So for multimedia & video playback, gaming, & photo managing, the N97 comes out well on top of the iPhone. Whereas both the iPhone & the Nokia N97 support most audio & video formats, the N97 has the added advantage of supporting Flash Lite, Flash Video & Windows Media 9. This Flash support isn't to be undervalued, as it will permit Nokia N97 users to render web pages a lot more than the iPhone 3G is currently able. The iPhone also lacks browser-based Java support; the N97 may or may not, it is still unclear. The digital camera on the Nokia N97 is also far superior to the iPhone's (and to those of most other smartphones currently on the market) with 5-megapixels, Carl Zeiss optics, an LED flash, & DVD-quality video recording with built-in video lighting. The iPhone still has that meager 2-megapixel relic with neither a built-in flash nor manual focus. The N97 also beats the iPhone in memory - both in the way of onboard storage (32 GB vs. 8 GB or 16 GB) & expandable memory (up to the 16 GB extra vs. none at all). The most noticeable difference between the N97 & the iPhone is that the Nokia has a slideout QWERTY keyboard in addition to its Apple-comparable touchscreen keypad.Both the iPhone & the Nokia N97 have built-in GPSs (the iPhone's including 3rd party geo-location apps & GoogleMaps, the N97's including an electronic compass & NokiaMaps). Both have HSDPA, Bluetooth, & WiFi connectivity. No three can expect, however, that the Nokia store will ever be able to offer N97 users the range & variety of smartphone apps that the iTunes App Store offer iPhone users.Though prices have yet to be released, in US dollars, it seems clear at least that the Nokia N97, with all its advantages over the iPhone, will also cost more to purchase than the iPhone

My Embedded Mobile Broadband device is not getting detected by the Connection Manager even though the WWAN drivers are installed

This applies to Mobile Broadband devices that are embedded into the Laptop.

1. In most of the cases the WWAN or Mobile Broadband device needs to be turned on explicitly using a utility provided by the OEM
2. These utilities are not part of the Driver Installation package and hence needs to be downloaded directly from the OEM website.
3. Please go through the Prerequisite or System requirement section of the Driver Installer webpage in the OEM website.

e.g:

For HP Compaq 6515b Notebook PC, the WWAN broadband driver installer webpage has a System Requirements section that lists the prerequisites for installing this driver. In this case the HP Wireless Assistant needs to be installed before installing the WWAN broadband driver.

Hope you find this useful.

I am unable to install the drivers for my embedded Sierra Wireless Device MC5725 device with Lenovo laptop on 64-bit platform…

I tried this with Lenovo ThinkPad X61 Tablet and found this workaround to be working.

1) Download and run the driver installer from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-67954.html. This leaves MC5720AC.msi in C:\DRIVERS\WIN\WWANSR\Driver (I believe that the MSI should run automatically, but it does not which is fine in this case).

2) Unpack the MSI (You can use any third party tool for extracting MSI e.g. Qwerty.Msi which I found with a search).

3) Open Device Manager.

4) Right-click the ‘Sierra Wireless MC5725 Device’ and select ‘Update Driver Software…’.

5) Select ‘Browse my computer for driver software’.

6) Browse to the location of the unpacked MSI and check the ‘Include subfolders’ box. Click ‘Next’.

7) The driver will be found and will be installed. This will also install five other devices (Network adapter, 2 COM Port, NMEA, Modem). Their drivers will all fail to install.

8) Update the driver software for each of the failed devices.

9) All should successfully install except the ‘Network Adapter’

10) Reboot.

11) The ‘Sierra Wireless 1xEV-DO Network Adapter’ should now be working properly.

12) You would need to install the connection manager to connect to internet.

For example, If your carrier is Verizon, go to http://vzam.net/download/supported.aspx and install the version of VZAccess Manager for ‘Lenovo Notebook with global module (Qualcomm 9202) or CDMA module (Sierra Wireless MC5720, MC5725)’.

13) Run the VZAM setup wizard.

14) Connect to Internet using the VZAM

Thank you Mark Eisenberg for sharing this workaround!

I am unable to use Ericsson F3507g with my Lenovo W500 laptop after upgrading to Windows 7 from Windows Vista…

This device works on clean installation on Windows 7. On upgrade there is a known issue that the device comes up with a bang. You can also notice the same from Setupapi.dev.log reports "Device not started: Device has problem: 0x0a: CM_PROB_FAILED_START". For the same, uninstalling and reinstalling the driver is known to solve the problem.

You would need to uninstall and reinstall the driver for your device on your laptop.

If you do not have the driver with you, please follow the steps below –

1. Please uninstall the existing drivers for Ericsson F3507g from Programs and Features. Also uninstall the Access Connections, if listed.

2. Go to http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70000#APPLYCOUNTRY

3. Go to Installation instructions section and install the pre-requisites in Step the Notes section.

a. Access Connections version 5.10 or higher

b. ThinkPad Power Management Driver for Windows 98 SE/Me/2000/XP/Vista version 1.42 or higher

c. Hotkey driver for Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit, XP, 2000 version 2.08.3000 or higher

4. Download 7uwc44ww.exe (Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver) and install the setup after extracting.

5. You should now be able to connect using Access Connections application.

Adobe Mobile Packager 1.1

As you know we’ve been working very hard on the next version of the Adobe Mobile Packager. In fact a little harder than we anticipated as I’m sure you’ve noticed that I posted the sneak peek more than a couple of weeks ago. Ultimately I wasn’t happy with some features including the Symbian and Windows Mobile signing workflows. I think you’ll agree that the engineering team have done a wonderful job in making it easy to Create->Package->Sign->Distribute packages.

One of the features that cost some extra time was multi-byte support for install packages, which is a hard task. Now, with the new Mobile Packager you can change your Application Name to use any accents and characters in any language. This enables us to expand globally without restriction moving forward.

Symbian S60

With Mobile Packager 1.1, it has never been easier to get through SymbianSigned. I have also been working with the Symbian Foundation to streamline their ingestion process and a new policy for the purchase of Publisher Ids. The good news is that this has now been announced, and soon (2 months?) you’ll be able to purchase a Publisher Certificate cheaply, and with nothing more than a credit card.

Signing of SIS packages has been vastly improved and we’ve aligned with AIR packaging workflows from Flash Builder, it’s the same security after all. No more tcp12p8.bat and multiple certificates, keys and passwords. You can simply use your pfx file straight out of the browser, technically you may also use a p12 file from Firefox too. If this sounds like Star Trek talk then don’t worry, just watch the 5min video

Windows Mobile

The downside is that Microsoft would not allow us to integrate a key component required for signing cab files called SignTool, a 74kb file. Hopefully in the future Microsoft will see the value in helping the Flash community and provide easy access to the tools necessary for everyone to distribute on “Open OS” Windows Mobile devices. For now though we won’t be stuck, as they say “there’s an app for that” with easy instructions in the tutorial.

OVI

With regards to OVI support, we continue to work with Nokia to enable support for the Distributable Player. There are some minor hurdles to overcome but the focus is very much on getting OVI up and running, and I support that fully.

Tutorials

I think the tutorials were a huge success for the first version of the Packager 1.0. Liz and I worked our socks off building out the content and this time round we’ve raised the bar, in the process we killed her hard drive, then her OS, she literally rang every corner of the globe. So in compensation I urge you to go and watch all of them, there’s lots of valuable information condensed into no more than 30mins.

Spread the word about these tutorials, it will help us all to build on the knowledge (and pain) that we went through on this.

Mobile Audio

The two downsides to the system are both time-related. First, turnaround time: Many of the top entries are several hours old and more recent postings have yet to appear. Still, the content that is present is easy to access and generally tolerable enough for listening. A male computer voice acts as the narrator and seems to be pretty accurate as far as pronunciations. Second, loading time: The service is a bit on the pokey side and a little slow to load, at least during the times at which we’ve accessed it.

The Inquisitr, incidentally, is not yet featured on Pimp My News. We’ve officially requested it, though — and the service makes it clear that it’s happy to make additions for anyone missing their favorite sites in the mix…so stay tuned. (Update: The Inquisitr is now featured.)

Pimp My News is free to use and ad-supported. The only real limitation is in building a personalized podcast or playlist: You are limited to 10 sources and a 10 minute daily program. In general use of the site, though — whether through the Web interface or the iPhone-optimized mobile interface — you are unrestricted in your activity.

Pimp My News: Turning Blogs into Mobile Audio

You can now catch up on your day’s Web reading with your eyes closed, thanks to a startup aptly named Pimp My News. The nine-month-old service converts thousands of blog and news sites’ content into audio files that can be played either via an online or mobile interface, or downloaded for use on an MP3 player.

A scan through the service’s available categories shows you the wide variety of content available. Almost any news/blog genre you can imagine is included somewhere. Within the technology tab, you’ll find everything from Apple news to gadget reviews, Internet blogs, social media discussions, and startup spotlights.

Most categories seem to have a fairly decent mix of material. Right now, for example, the “social media” tab leads off with Mashable’s morning story about the food service rumors within Google. Click onto the “top bloggers” tab and you’ll find audio of some recent Scoble posts at the top of the page.

Conclusion

The left-hand side shows the selection of a particular course-related group (all those involved in Forced Migration studies) which is available from automated feeds from student records data. On the right-hand side are listed the different kinds of access to resources. The owner of a resource can thus choose which groups can have 'see' and 'view' access to read the contents. The system might be further developed so that members of groups with 'post' rights are able to comment on a blog, and so on. For blogs to be restricted in this way means that most people will come to the blog through the learning context of the VLE. A very basic proof of concept was achieved, but the technical solution is not appropriate for a production service.

Thus conceived, the blog server is used to store all the blog entries. At the same time, Bodington VLE users make use of access control systems to set who can access the blog via a display of an RSS/Atom feed. When authorised users view this resource, Bodington downloads the RSS and renders it to HTML, sending the output to the client (browser). In this scenario there is implicit co-ordination between the blog server and VLE: when a user is in the VLE and attempts to access a private blog the VLE does the authorization and Pebble has to trust the VLE completely.

This is an illustration of the general problem of secondary authentication, the same issue commonly encountered in portals where there is the need for trust between machines. It soon becomes evident that interoperating systems need an infrastructure in which authentication and authorisation services stand outside any particular application and are readily accessible by the various applications. Problems like these have led to the development of component-based frameworks and Service Oriented Architectures, an approach that is being actively promoted by JISC in their E-Learning Framework (ELF) [17]. Demonstrators, toolkits and reference models are being developed for ELF against which existing systems may evolve from monolithic structures to more reusable component-based services. One of the demonstrator projects is BEWT [18], which will develop an IMS Enterprise service for Bodington Authorisation, the kind of service that should lead to richer communication between blogs and learning environments.
