Using this Nokia Photo Browser will let user to watch the photos with an interesting interface. With 3 dimension effect, photo zooming and face Detection makes the photos browser more attractive. You can download this application here

There are some things that we could do. Although they are quite simple, we have tried them and the result was satisfying.

Tool
You need a PC which has Winrar (file extractor application) in it. If you haven’t installed it, you can download Winrar.

Steps
Before changing the resolution, first you have to know the game’s original resolution. You can visit that game developer’s official website to find out about the information details. You also need to know the resolution of your phone screen. Follow the next steps:
1. Open the java file (*.jar) using Winrar. As an example, we will use Scarface game.
2. Open META-INF folder, drag MANIFEST.MF file to the computer (to the desktop or the other folders).
3. Open MANIFEST.MF with Notepad. To do it, right click on the file and double-click on the notepad icon. You will see strings or programming language inside the file.
4. Add these two strings at the last row:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: xxx,xxx
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: xxx,xxx
Original display size represents the original size of the jar file, while target display size represents the size of your phone’s screen. To write it is easy. Simply change the xxx,xxx with the resolution you desire. For example, if you wish to change a game’s resolution which is originally 176 x 208 pixels into 352 x 216 pixels, you have to write like the followings:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: 176,208
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: 352,216
Next, save your file (not ‘Save As’).
5. Put MANIFEST.MF file back into the jar file by using Winrar. To do it, simply drag the newly edited MF file to META-INF folder. A dialog box confirming the change of the older file with the new one will pop up. Click on ‘OK’ and Winrar will compress the file into jar file. Look at the size difference of the newly edited file.
6. Install the game on your phone and enjoy its new look. It is easy, isn’t it? When it was tried in our lab, almost all experiments were successful. Unfortunately, not all resolution conversions from large to small were successful, especially from 352 x 288 pixels to 176 x 208 pixels. Have a nice try!

The examples of the uncertified applications are usually software in beta version, not the full one. Uncertified applications could also be in the forms of freeware applications. Though you can still wait until the signed version is released, the process often takes a long time. But if you have badly wanted to have the application installed in your phone, what should you do then?

To make your wish come true, what you need to do is a simple trick, self-signing the application. Don’t worry. Since the certification code comes from the developer producing the application, this action is considered legal.

The required tools are:
1. SignSIS files, which can be downloaded at http://d.turboupload.com/d/1639526/signsis_files.zip.html. You will get a zip file (489.34 kb) containing auto_signsis and signsis files. Extract them.
2. Account at www.symbiansigned.com. You are required to sign up as the member of this site.
3. DevCertRequest Tool, which can be downloaded at https://www.symbiansigned.com/DevCertRequest_30_10_2006_v2.0. You can check its update info at https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page/overview/latestProductUpdates.

Steps of Certifying
a. Create a new folder in your PC. Put the unsigned SIS to be certified (in this example: screenshot_s60_3rd_v2.70_unsigned) and the two other files from signsis_files.zip into that folder.
b. Extract DevCertRequest you have downloaded, and then install it in your PC.
c. Run DevCertRequest Tool. You will be required to make a new file. Name it as you like, and choose the folder you have created as the output directory, for instance, tips.csr. It is recommended to name the file like the name of the application you are going to sign, such as screenshot_s60_3rd_v2.70_unsigned. For the next step, select ‘Open’ > “Next”.
d. In the statement ACS Pub ID Available, select ‘No’. At ‘Private Key File’, browse the folder you have created. Name it like the previous file, tips.key. Select ‘Open’.
e. Type “12345″ at Private key file password, and reconfirm it. Select ‘Next’.
f. Complete the available column. Make sure you do not leave the column with (*) in blank. Select ‘Next’.
g. In IMEI Editor, type the IMEI numbers of your phone to obtain the certificate. If you do not know your numbers, type *#06# when your phone’s screen is in standby mode.
h. Select all “Application Capabilities”, and select “Add”. Next, select ‘Next’.
i. For the final step in DevCertRequest Tool program, select ‘Finish’. In the folder you have created before, you will find four new files.
j. For the next step, go into www.symbiansigned.com and log in.
k. Select “My Symbian Signed” menu. Next, select ‘Developer Certificates’.
l. Select “Request” under the “Developer Certificates”. Then browse the CSR file in the folder you have created before.
m. Select that CSR file (click on ‘Open’) and ‘Send’. You will be taken to the download link of a new certificate (CER file). Download and save this certificate file in the same folder like before. Now, you already have all files required to sign your sis files.
n. Open auto_signsis file with MS Notepad.
o. Change the “xyz” character according to file extension in the folder. Save the batch file (‘save’, not ‘save as’). Then, exit.

Open your folder, and double click on auto_signsis file. Now you will get the new application certified, still in the same folder. Finally, install the application to your phone, and enjoy it.

There are numerous techniques to tap messages. Remember articles about the simple ways to phone-tap conversations and SMS in other’s cell phones? Then, how to avoid phone-tapping? Here are some applications you can use.

Avoiding Voice Phone-Tapping
Talking via cell phone is actually quite secure. However, cell phone bugging devices are already available. To be more secure, encryption techniques can be applied in voice communication.
Encryption technique works by adding codes or locks. The conversation you have in the phone will be encrypted into codes, which could only be read by the phones that have the appropriate code-breaker.
Communication with encrypting technique could run only if both you and the receiver have the same tools (application) for the encryption and decryption (the opposite of encryption).

Symbian & Windows Encryption Applications
For users of 2nd edition Symbian (Symbian OS version 8), such as Nokia 6630, 6680, N70 and N90, Cellcrypt could guarantee the security of your communication. Cellcrypt is made by Voylent developer which is based in Silicon Valley.
Cellcrypt’s communication route makes use of Circuit Switch Data (CSD). So, besides requiring 2nd edition Symbian phones, Cellcrypt also requires CSD-support providers.

To test this application, please visit Voylent’s site. To directly download it, simply follow this link. These are the steps to use Cellcrypt:
1. Install Cellcrypt in your phone and in phone of the person you are going to talk to. The installation process takes quite time, 10 minutes approximately.
2. Restart the phones as the procedure to activate Cellcrypt.
3. Before calling, type 888 (triple 8s) in front of the destination number. For example, if your destination number is 08567795xxx, you should dial 88808567795xxx. If dialing phone with a certain country’s code, such as +628567795xxx, you should dial +888628567795xxx.

After that, you can communicate like usual. You need to know that the encrypting and decrypting process require longer time, so there will be delays in your communication.
Besides that, this application is designed to be hidden or invisible, so you cannot use the normal way to uninstall it. To remove Cellcrypt, you have to install its uninstaller application, which can be downloaded at http://www.cellcrypt.com/vxrm.sis.

For Windows Users (Smartphone and PDA)
For users of Smartphone and Windows-based PDA-phones, SecureGSM application has been provided. SecureGSM is similar to Cellcrypt in terms of function, except in the ways of operating it.

In SecureGSM, users do not need to insert extra numbers in front of the destination numbers. When receiving a call, the receiver will be given verification codes. The codes are the same like what are shown in the caller’s screen (look at the picture). Every call going through SecureGSM will look like the following picture:

Preventing SMS-tapping
There are a few techniques to tap SMS. In the former edition, PULSA have reviewed the techniques by installing a phone-tapping application in the target phone.
To avoid being the victim of SMS-tapping, we can add encryption to our text-messages. At least there are two encryption applications that we demonstrate in this article, the application for Symbian phones and for Java-based phones.

Symbian
To protect SMSs and emails, Symbian users can rely on Fortress SMS application. Its trial version can be downloaded at http://www.fortressmail.net/ fortress_sms.htm

Fortress SMS is easy to use. Add password on each SMS you are going to send. The receiver who doesn’t know the password will not be able to open it. Here are the steps to operate Fortress SMS:
1. Activate Fortress SMS, and select option ‘Send message’.
2. Select ‘Option’, find ‘Password’, after the screen shows the menu, enter your password.
3. The SMS that have been sent can be opened if the password is entered correctly. Of course, the receiver’s phone should also have Fortress SMS application.

For Users of Java-based Phone
SMS encryption applications are not only available in phones which have operation system. One supporting application for Java-based phones (MIDP 2.0) is SMS007. This application has better compatibility since it uses general user interface (GUI).

The encryption ability is not only applicable for SMS, but also for data in the phone. If you lose your phone, people will not be able to open the data. Here are the steps to operate SMS007:
1. First, set your password. Do not forget your password or you will lose the data on your phone.
2. Log in, and enter your password to start SMS007.
3. To send confidential messages, you can select it from the available contact menu. The secret messages can be sent to more than one receiver.

For those true fans of sport, they would be willing to do anything to get the most up-to-date information about their favorite football club or about their best-loved racer. Now with your PDA device, you can get updated without having to spend much time.

Football is the world’s most favorite sport. Although it comes from Europe, companies from all over the world, including the companies from the United States, are competing to ‘buy’ this sport to earn more profits. The massive number of football supporters is perhaps one of the main reasons.
For those who don’t want to miss even a single piece of information about this sport, the tips we provide in this article might be useful for you. You can use TeamStats, an application which covers activities in the world’s biggest football leagues.

This PocketPC-based and Palm-based PDA application is useful to obtain the latest information of the league standing of your favorite club. Here are the steps to use TeamStats:
1. Download TeamStats for Pocekt PC at http://www.mbovin.com/tsppc/tsppc1_3_0.zip. For those using Palm OS-based PDA, this application can be downloaded at http://www.mbovin.com/tspalm/tspalm1_6_0.zip.
2. Install and run TeamStats. In the main page, you will see a Premier League table, but this is not the latest table. To update it, you still need to do some additional steps.
3. Do live update activation. Before activating, decide first which league you want to display by clicking ‘liveupdate’ and ‘select leagues’. A list containing world’s leagues, from Albanian, Argentinan up to Indonesian, will be displayed in a new column. Choose one and select ‘Ok’.
The selected league will be displayed in live update list. Your PDA will be directly connected to football portals which SoccerDB trusts, in order to find out about the latest match results, the latest team news and the most up-to-date league standing
4. Click the parabola antenna icon every time you do live update. Easy, isn’t it? Without watching news, now you can keep an eye on your favorite team. This application also has interactive service which enables users to do match results entry without having to be connected with the internet. Points calculation of teams’ wins, draws, or loses will be automatically programmed and affect the league standing tables.

Formula F1 2007
For Formula 1, you will need Formula F1 2007, a special application dedicated to get the latest information about Formula 1. Since this season’s Formula 1 competition has just begun, why don’t you try it? The followings are its operating steps:
1. Download Formula F1 2007 application at http://pdassi.de/files/31117/ Formula1_2_0.zip
2. Install and run the application. A list of Formula 1 2007 drivers will appear on the main page.
3. Select ‘2007 Season’ to view the standing of drivers, constructors, and detail information of current race winners. As soon as we update it few days after the race, the information will also change.
4. Click ‘History’ to view F1 results of the previous seasons, including the details of past winners, and the season’s standing table. Click ‘Insight F1’ to access latest information and regulations about chassis, engines, race procedure, scoring system, as well as flags and penalties. To view the profile of racers, teams, tires, and the others, you can click ‘Profile’.
5. This is the most important step. Click ‘Update’ to obtain the latest information in 2007 Formula 1 competition. This process requires internet connection. Therefore, check the internet settings in your PDA first to make sure that the update process runs smoothly.

Unfortunately, the price of such a headset is often unaffordable. The kinds of cell phones which support A2DP Bluetooth are also still limited. Now, with some Do-It-Yourself steps from this article, we can invent our own wireless headset by making use FM radio signals.

The Operation Principles
Basically, this work is done merely by connecting the route of the phone’s headset with FM transmitter tools. By doing so, the sound which phone produces will be received by the FM radio tool. It is this FM radio tool that would be reconnected to the headset.

The receiving range of this device won’t be as far as the receiving range of A2DP Bluetooth headset, only around 2-3 meters. However, this device still enables you to change the frequency and listen to another commercial radio broadcast. Besides that, your cell phone will be safer, as you can put it into your bag when riding a motorcycle.

The Things You Need:
1. Mini FM Transmitter
2. Mini FM Radio Tools (Plus Headset)
3. Connecting Device from the Audio Source

Mini FM transmitter is available electronic stores. It costs around Rp. 50,000.00. For those who want to make your own Mini FM Transmitter, follow the next steps:

As the first developed S60 v2 cell phone, Nokia 6600 often experiences troubles in its software system. One of the most likely to occur is the long loading time, especially in opening Gallery, File Manager, and Bluetooth (connectivity) menus.

The failures to open these menus are indicated by the ‘Opening File’ notification which ceaselessly appears. On the same time, the expected menu is not shown on the screen.

Problems also occur in camera mode feature. As soon as the picture is captured, a notification saying ‘Temporary Overload. Continue’ appears.

It is very possible that these bugs are the result of the error during software installation, commonly called Cbus Error. This error happens due to broken Bluetooth module, which finally leads to the initializing failure in the flashing process.

In order to fix this problem, the Bluetooth module has to be replaced.

Steps of Replacing Nokia 6600 Bluetooth Module
1. Pinch the board, heat it with a blower, and pick up the Bluetooth module.
2. Clean the remaining tin on the board by using a solderwick.
3. Next, put on the new Bluetooth module. Remember to solder its legs and add some tin to each of its side.

After replacing the Bluetooth module, do re-flashing, the process of reinstalling the software, and your Nokia 6600 will run normally again.

It is simple! All you got to do is just installing the SMS Anywhere application!

Unlike Flexispy which utilizes internet access to send its data, SMS Anywhere works by forwarding all the sent and received messages to the target phone. Both work without having been known by the phone owner. How does it work? It is because of both is using non-user interface application which allows this application not to be seen in target’s phone screen.

This application is actually designed for those who have more than one phone and wish their messages to be able to be read in the other phones. The easiest way is by forwarding the messages to the desired numbers. And SMS Anywhere can do this automatically. Because of its hidden characteristic, this service can be employed to see others’ messages.

This is a free application, SMS Anywhere only asks you to pay $24, only for once. For those who are curious, please visit the website at http://www.wireless-labs.com/smsanywhere/.

Using SMS Anywhere
SMS anywhere is currently applicable for the 2nd edition Symbian S60 phones such as: Nokia 3230, 6260, 6600, 6620, 6630, 6670, 6680, 6681, 6682, 7610, N70, and N72. Besides in its official website, you can also get this application in the Getjar website through a PC or your own phone by accessing Getjar WAP. Then, insert the download code 8563.

The installation processes.
1. Download and install the application to the phone which is wished to be spied on.
2. This application has not been verified by its developer; therefore, ‘ security warning’ will appear. Click on ‘Yes’ to continue.
3. Follow the next steps until it is done.
4. Now, you get the license key. Please visit the official website of SMS Anywhere and go to the option ‘Download’.
You still cannot use the SMS Anywhere application although you have obtained the activation code. You still have to do several settings as mentioned below:

- Inserting the activation code
- Inserting the destination number (the number that will receive the forwarded messages)
- Changing the password (if you wish to change it)

All the steps mentioned above use code commands via an SMS. Here are the command parameters:

Example:
- Changing the password
The original password consists of 8 characters, 12345678. You can change it by sending a command via an SMS to the spied phone.
For example: You wish to change the password into abcdefgh. Type: SA12345678Pabcdefgh, then send it to the spied phone, for example: 08567795xxx.

- Setting the forwarding
Let’s say you want all the messages forwarded to 0856733xxx (your phone number/ the spy phone), therefore, the SMS format will be like this:
SA(password)D+62856733xxx.
For example: if your password is 12345678, so the text will be like this:
SA12345678 D+62856733xxx

Note:
All commands are initiated by SAxxxxxxx (x is the password). The SMS Anywhere command will be automatically erased. In the Standard edition, you will still get confirmation although there is no new message.

You can see how SMS Anywhere works by:
- Sending commands to the phone in which SMS anywhere has been installed
- Forwarding SMS to the designated number

Uninstalling the application
Although this application works secretly, you or the victim can still uninstall it from the menu ‘Manager’. Before you become the victim, check your phone and who knows there are bad people who have been spying on you.

If you want to use this application, consider whether what you are doing does not disadvantage the victim. You can deal with the police because you are believed to cause problem for somebody with such an unpleasant action. There is a warning inside the official website reminding you not to cause the unwanted deeds, “Make Sure of What You Are Doing is Not Violating the Law in the Country You Are Living Now.”

Besides the problem of privacy, this service will certainly deplete the victim’s phone credit balance since the cost of the forwarding messages is submitted to him/her. However, this service is not always a bad thing. Who knows by applying this service, you can protect the one you really love.

There are lots of codes that can be used in order to retrieve the hidden information inside a cell phone. There are numerous benefits we can get by knowing these codes. For example, as we are choosing a cell phone, we can see the purchase date and the date of last repair. Or, we can also see the software version used and the phone’s personal information.

This time, we will once again show you those hidden access security codes. To discover this information, simply press the desired codes during standby mode. For the commands connected with the operator network, after pressing the codes, immediately press the ‘call’ button (usually it is symbolized by a green telephone handle).

Some codes revealed on these secret codes post:
