Global emergency numbers 112

People might be worried when they take a trip, especially when travel abroad. You usually do not know any people in the destination; you do not know the street, and facilities. Most of all, you may not speak the local language well. What if you run into any danger, who can you turn to for help?

Luckily, we can make an emergency call. We have a cell phone, that’s not a problem. The only question is what the number is? In fact, every country has an emergency number and it differs from country to country. For example, people in the US and Canada call 911 if they are in any danger. But the number in Japan, China and India is 110. So how do you know the number in any country?

Well you do not have to memorize the number when you travel. You may not know that there is a worldwide emergency number. And the number is 112. As a matter of fact, lots of people do not know it.

112 is a special number. Generally you could not dial any number from your keyboard when your screen is locked, but if you try this number, the magic will play. Well that’s not all. You can dial this number even if you do not have a SIM card. Your phone will automatically search any network.

If you have a keyboard phone, try this trick. Even if you have a touchscreen phone, you can dial any emergency number with the screen locked.

So you do not have to worry next time when you travel. If your friends are going abroad, forward this to him / her, they must be happy!!

Nokia security master code calculator available

As we all know, almost all Nokia feature phones come with lock codes, which are used to protect your phone and private data. As a matter of fact, Smartphones have this code as well, but it sometimes

Well this code is different from your PIN or PUN codes, which come with your SIM card. You can always ask your mobile operator for more information. As a matter of fact, I can change my PIN code by calling my carrier or from their website.

If you have enabled this lock code, you need to enter it every time you change a SIM card or perform a factory reset. The good thing is that others won’t be able to use it if your phone goes missing. But if you forget this code, you may find yourself in a difficult situation. You will be prompted for this security code even if you type *#7370#.

While the default security code is 12345 for most Nokia phones (it differs from models to models), many people change it. It’s quite easy to understand this; anyone could search the default code if you do not change it. But what if you forget it? I can see a lot of people asking this question on forums.

Well this is not an irresolvable issue. As a matter of fact, there is Nokia security master code calculator out there. For instance, this website has a perfect calculator for Nokia phones. It’s not difficult to use, simply enter your IMEI number and hit generate. You can enter *#06# for your IMEI number. Now try this code on your phone and hopefully it may work.

It worth mentioning however, that this calculator is not for all Nokia feature phones. Before your trying it, check out this compatibility list first.

Fortunately, Nokia feature phones are to be replaced by modern smartphones.

Really cool tricks for your cell phone

These cell phone codes and tricks seem really cool, as they have some magic functions, especially for feature phones. You may run into them elsewhere, but I do not think anyone has tried them. So do not take them too seriously.

1. Type **21*999999# and press the answering key will enable you to block any call. If someone tries to call you, he or she will be hearing ‘the number you called does not exist’. Type ##21# and press answer key to disable it, your phone will resume to normal condition.

This does sound cool, especially for feature phones which does not have apps to help achieve this feature. However it does not work, at least does not work in my case. Since more and more people own Smartphone, many apps will do the same job. If you do not have a Smartphone, go get one.

2. Have your car keys locked inside, and the remote control are also left at home? Place your phone somewhere one foot near your car and call and ask your family to press the unlock button.

I do not have a car and could not try it, but I really doubt it.

3. Phone is running out of battery? Enter *3370# and your phone will reboot, and it will see a 50% increase in battery life. It’s said that this code only works for Nokia phone. How it works? Someone says there’s hidden battery.

This is really shit, does not work in any phone, and ridiculous.

4. Your phone goes missing? Enter *#06# and your IMEI number will show up. Give this number to your mobile operator and ask them to blacklist it. Even someone get your phone and change the SIM card, the phone will be denied of service.

This code does work, but it’s nothing magic and everyone knows it. In fact, if you are afraid of losing your phone, install some cell phone tracking app and it will help you get it back.

If you are looking for some magic codes, these may let you down. But come back later and we have many useful service codes that could help you know more about your phone and save time.

Secret service codes for Sony Ericsson phone

Three tips on removing scratches from mobile screen

It seems now people can’t live without cell phone, especially Smartphone. We use it to browse the internet, send and receive Emails, stream videos, and play games or listen to music. Some people even take their handset wherever they go.

However when you buy a new cell phone, you surely do not want to see scratches on the screen in the near future. But many people do not take good care of their handset, they put their cell phone in the pocket together with wallets, cards and even keys or coins, the latter could easily damage your phone’s screen. This will cause minor and even deep scratches to the cell phone screen, eventually, they need to replace the display or the mobile device.

Here we’ll tell you how to protect your cell phone screen from scratches.

First off, buy handset comes with Gorilla glass made by U.S. glassmaker Corning. Gorilla features thin, light and damage resistance, and now many phone has Gorilla glass. With this terrific screen, you won’t have to worry about any scratches.

Secondly, even if your phone does not have a Gorilla screen, there’s other solution you can turn to, buy and use a phone screen protector. When you buy a new handset, you may consider buying a mobile screen protector at the same time. It won’t cost you much, but it does a really good job. When it comes to the price, it ranges between some $1 and $3, and some only cost you less than $1. You do not have to worry about how to remove the scratches later if you use a screen protector.

Lastly, if unfortunately your cell phone screen already has scratches, you can try the below method to remove them.

A. Use toothpaste to remove the small scratches and it’s almost free.
1.) Apply a blob of toothpaste on the screen with a tissue; rub it into the areas on the phone where the scratches are.
2.) Wait a few minutes, then put small amount of water on end of a tissue and wipe off toothpaste.
3.) Look to see if it worked
4.) If it does not work, repeat the above steps.

B. Try mobile phone screen polisher called “Displex”.  This will cost your a few bucks, Amazon sell them at about $7.

Apply some Displex to the display. Polish the scratched areas with heavy pressure for 2-3 minutes with a soft, clean cotton cloth. Repeat application as necessary for deep scratches. The display will shine again. Contents of tube of 5g are sufficient for approx. 8-10 applications.

C. Replace the screen. Remember this may cost you an arm and a leg. In rare cases, the cost of a screen is nearly a third of your handset.

D. Buy a new one. When you decide to purchase a new device, consider my first advice, lol. More mobile phone tricks here.

A few tips on saving your battery life

Android phone hardware are getting more and more powerful. Now we get over 2G frequency cpu, over 400M frequency GPU. Here comes the most important, larger screen. For example, Samsung Galaxy SIII has a huge 4.8′ screen, not to mention note II’s incredible 5.5 display. However we have to charge our battery once everyday with the development of the hardware until we see some breakthrough in battery technology.

It’s more important to learn how to save battery life before we could see any significant increase in mobile battery capacity. Here are a few tips on saving your battery life,

1. Reduce display brightness. Turn down the brightness is up till now the most effective way to save your battery life. If you go see your battery usage, screen always eats the most battery, this is very true if you have a large screen. If you reduce the display brightness by 30% or 50%, the battery life will be drastically prolonged. For instance, my phone has a 4.7′ display, and I set the brightness from 40% to 20% and I can use my phone for another day (from 24 hours to 48 hours or more).

2. Turn off auto sync. Auto sync is the essential feature of modern Smartphone, and it drains your battery quickly too. If you have to sync your phone book, or picture or anything else, do it yourself. Do not let auto sync stays on. Besides, it helps save your data.

3. Turn off Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS until you need to use them. We generally do not use Bluetooth or GPS, so it’s strongly recommended to disable them.

4. Turn off your cell phone during the night while you sleep. It will reserve some battery power for you, but if you have emergency calls at night, this might not be applicable.

5. Disable vibration, keypad sound and backlight. While some prefer vibration and need backlight to read, but these features requires much battery power to work, if your disable them, your battery will surely last longer.

6. Reduce the apps running in the background (you need to root your phone to do this). Unnecessary features like camera and mobile internet are those features will tremendously consume your battery power. If you have a task killer installed, you will be able to see how many apps are running in the background for no purpose. So I would like advice you delete those unnecessary auto-start entries, remove those unnecessary apps or system services. Always remember to backup first.

7. Use WiFi instead of 3G to access the internet. 3G consumes more power than WiFi. So if you have access to WiFi network, just disable 3G.

8. Set your network mode correctly. If you have a 3G cell phone, you have three options: Dual mode, UMTS and GSM (depending on the cell phone you have), if you are using 3G or 2G, select the mode accordingly, never select dual mode. Because every time you turn of your cell phone or lost signal, it has to search for the network and this process consumes battery power a lot.

9. Please send your suggestions and I will list them here. The list goes on…
