Make your smart phone smarter

During the past few years, the mobile phone has become so much more than a telephone. As PDAs such as the Palm Treo have merged with telephones, cell phones themselves have started acting like PDAs. Aside from the obvious address book and calendar, a common phone on the street might have a digital camera, an MP3 player, an instant messenger, and a GPS locating device.One of the most popular mobile-phone operating systems is Symbian, powering Nokia and Sony Ericsson models, among many others. In fact, the Symbian OS powers more than half of all mobile phones worldwide, and its CEO has predicted that it will eventually take over for PCs entirely.Regardless of what the future will bring, you can do tons of stuff with your Symbian smart phone right now. Watch videos, map directions, or use your favorite instant-messaging software. Jessica Dolcourt shows you how to get started with a new feature, How to make your Symbian phone smarter. If you're already a master of mobile software, be sure to tell us which software you use on your cell phone.

New software to track lost mobiles


There is good news for all of us,regarding the tracing of the lost cell phones.Isn't it amazing and interesting to know about? If this detective takes off, it will be more popular than Sherlock Holmes: a software to trace lost mobiles. Inspired to create a mobile-tracking solution after his 16-year-old son lost his cellphone, P Sekhar, chairman of Micro Technologies, began work on a programme to track phones. The code — downloadable at Rs 200-300 a year on most handsets from Micro’s website — allows the owner to track the exact location of his phone and the number of the new SIM card that has been inserted. As of now, the only action a subscriber can take is to frantically call the service provider and block his card.

He says: ‘‘A stolen phone is generally sold in the grey market. When a new SIM card is inserted, the solution embedded in the phone notifies the original owner of the new SIM card number and the location of the phone. Nine out of ten times, when the original caller calls the owner of the stolen phone, the third party returns the gadget.’’ Called the Lost Mobile Tracking Solution (LMTS), the e-sniffer which can track lost mobiles, is awaiting a patent. It was created with an investment of Rs 50 lakh, of which half has already been recovered in the four months of its launch in the Indian market. It would be safe to say that thousands of phones are stolen and lost in India every day, left behind in cabs, washrooms, restaurants and shops. In 2005, 20,000 cases of stolen mobiles (worth Rs 300 crore) were reported with the police. About eight crore mobile handsets were retailed in India in the same year.

Sekhar, who plans to market this solution worldwide , is in dialogue with five of the largest mobile manufacturers as well as the police, who say that lost mobile complaints are on the rise. He estimates that the market for such a solution could go up to Rs 30-40 crore within the next three years. The LMTS solution is currently restricted to GSM phones in which the SIM card is detachable. The solution is retailed in India through Micro Technologies’s large dealer and distribution networks and will soon be pushed through the mobile manufacturer route as well.

How to use the service
The basic requisite is possessing a smart phone with GPRS activated on it. Most telcos offer this service for a fixed fee every month You register online for LTMS at the Micro Technologies website. A user name and password is sent to you and you can download the software Once the software is activated, a link is sent to your phone. Clicking on the link leads you to a site where another piece of software is installed on your phone. Into this software, you type in the licence key.


Mobile Battery Saving Tips

If you're expecting a call and your battery icon starts blinking, the first thing you should do is find a charger. In case you dont find one you feel like throwing the mobile & buying a new one.

Reserve battery
Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart withthis reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.Thisreserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.

Turn Down Screen Brightness
The screen is one of the most power-consuming parts of the mobile phone. The lower the brightness, the lesser power it needs. Keep it as low as you can, so long as you can still see it! Also, some phones like the E61 and the BlackBerry Pearl come with auto-adjust features that increase the brightness in brightly lit areas and dim it in low-light areas. If you're setting the brightness low, make sure that auto-adjust is turned off.

Don't Use Animated Wallpapers or Screensavers
The animations in wallpapers and screensavers can drain a bit of battery as they also consume a wee bit of CPU. Turn them off.

Turn Off Keypad Lights
If you've been using the phone for a while, you may be able to use the keys without seeing them. If this is the case, the keypad backlight can be turned off. However, not a lot of phones support this, but it's worth considering if your phone does.

Decrease Screen Standby Time Out
The time till your screen dims out and/or gets turned off is configurable in most phones. 10 seconds is good, 5 seconds is better. Set it as low as you can go without it becoming inconvenient.

Close Background Applications
If you're using a Smartphone, close applications that you don't need. Applications that stay active in the background use up a bit of CPU, which uses up battery. Make sure you 'exit' the applications from the menu, not by pressing the 'End' key, as that merely puts the application in the background. In Series 60 Smartphones (mostly Nokias), hold down the 'Menu' key to get a list of all applications running in the background to close them. In Windows Mobile 5 phones, open the 'Memory' application and check the 'Running programs' tab to close them.

Turn Off Vibration
Probably the second most power-consuming feature of any mobile phone is the built-in vibration alert. See if you can do without it.

Turn Down Ringer Volume, Keypad Tones and Speaker During Calls
If you're mostly indoors, like in the office or at home, a low ringer volume can go a bit towards saving your battery. Most phones also have DTMF-like keypad tones, which are not necessary if the keypad has decent tactile feedback. I keep them turned off most of the time — you can try it too. Volume of the earpiece when you're on a call can also be lowered, and that helps too.

Disable Voice Clarity / EFR / Voice Privacy
Almost all phones now do Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) for voice communication that consumes a little more power. In most cases, the enhanced quality of EFR doesn't make a difference thanks to the high noise levels in our city. Keep it off, you probably won't miss it. Some phones (mostly Samsungs) have a 'voice privacy' feature which can also be turned off to save battery.

Turn off 3G / GPRS / EDGE
Most 3G/UMTS/WCDMA phones keep searching for 3G coverage by default. In India, they'll keep searching till 2008, draining your battery, so go to the network selection screen and choose GSM-only. If your phone has a secondary camera near the screen, it's a 3G phone. Check your phone’s specs on the website if you aren't sure. Sometimes, even regular GPRS or EDGE connections stay active in the back, so make sure you specifically disconnect when you're done browsing the web.

Use Bluetooth and WiFi Only While Transferring
If you only use Bluetooth occasionally to transfer files to and from other devices, there's probably no point keeping it on all the time. Most phones only come with an on/off setting for Bluetooth, unlike the 'Turn on for 10 minutes' setting available for Infrared in some phones (mostly Sony Ericssons). People tend to forget about Bluetooth being left on after transferring the file — avoid doing this. Same goes for WiFi, if you're phone has that.

Here's another tip — find a USB cable if your phone supports recharging via USB. The Motorola RAZR/KRZR/SLVRs and most Windows Mobile Smartphones have a standard miniUSB slot that can use the same cable as most digital cameras. You're more likely to find one of these lying around somewhere than a charger for your phone, unless it's a Nokia, of course.

Dont use some common but unnecessary features
Of course, you can't use the camera and media features (most Samsung phones won't even let you, if the battery is low) but you can also be a bit choosy while answering incoming calls — not all of them need to be answered. This is even more true in case of unknown numbers!


Take help of a friend
If you are with a friend then you can take his mobile & temporary interchange the sim i.e if he doesn't mind .


Finally, if you've tried everything else above then the only remedy will be don't use the phone too much.
