Most of us allready know them all, but maybe handy for some users.
The Tricks and Tips are for the T68m, but the most allso work on the T68i

T68 users, get all the T68-secrets and tips in one post; read this one;
(the most ones are old, some are maybe new 4 u)

Secrets

in the stanby modus (desktop)
>*<<*<*
(where > and < is the right and left movement of your joystick)
Leads you to the service menu, you can vieuw your firmware version, change contrast, test all the functions (leds, display, buzze, ...)

Type;
In the ERIX Start screen type;
123
Leads you to a secres Snake Game (use the 789 code in R2A firmware).

In the Q Start screen type;
3*5
Leads you to a secret blocks game.

In the RIPPLE Start screen type;
4456
Leads you to a secret card game.

In the TETRIS Start screen type;
397
Leads you to a secret message.

Type
<0000>
to go to english menu's (<8888> for the normal language settings)

Type
< ** <
to go to a lock menu for the operator

Type
*#06#
to view your IMEI


Shortcuts

Holding your joystick for a moment to the left
Leads you to the first option in your shorcuts menu (ea type sms)
Holding your joystick for a moment to the right
Leads you to the Phonbook search action.

Pressing Yes (in the standby mode) leads you to the Call list where all recieved and called calls are saves. You allso can acces this menu by typing " 0 # "

Pressing the # and * button while reading SMS's you can scroll down and up (the bottom of the SMS, the top of the SMS) sometimes faster then using your joystick.

Saving times in the stopwatch function; press the * button

Saving numbers in the calculator memory; press the joystick up to save, press him down to past the saved numbers.

Pressing 1 and 3 in the calendar function moves the cursor week by week.

To add a picture to your favorites, press the * button while you are on it.

In the edit contact menu, you can cut, copy and past phone numbers:
* + 1 (on Phone) = Ctrl + X (cut, on PC)
* + 2 (on Phone) = Ctrl + C (copy, on PC)
* + 3 (on Phone) = Ctrl + V (paste, on PC)


Tips

TIP: You can use your mobile phone (MP) as a dialer if you need to make a call and the land line phone's (LP) keypad is locked. Simply go to the engineering menu of your MP (>*<<*<*), go to the diagnostic menu and select the earphone or speaker test
Then, simply put your MP's earpiece to the LP's mouth piece and dial the number on your MP. The LP Dials the number you formed with your MP. (verry cool, try it with your T68 and a Land-phone)


While you are in a conversation;

Mute your voice, hold the 'C' button a while, you will mute your voice, press the 'C' button again to activate the Speaker again.

Record the call. Go to menu, Calls (the blue icon in the upper right corner) and start taping your call (!!!)

Send a phone number: While in conversation, go to Menu, Phone Book, Search and Send. The phone sends a phone number to the phone on the other line while in conversation. The other line hangs up and presses redail to form the send number. Also works with the most Land Phones!


TIP:Access menu without SIM card (older models)

To access to the menu in your phone without having a SIM card inside do the following:

type **04*0000*0000*0000#

When display say "Wrong Pin" press 'NO' and you have access to most menus

Put a non used second SIM card on top of the other, better place to kept the SIM then your pocket ore wallet.

Typing faster without using T9: hold your volume switch down while pressing a button gives you the 3th letter of that button (ea C). Holding the volume switch up while pressing a button gives you the second letter from that button (ea B)

I hope some tips are new for you and helped you to explore the T68 world. Know that some tricks are only working on the T68m

Thanks for that, but shouldn't this be in a different forum? Maybe the "tricks and tips" forum?

The tips and tricks folder would just be a silly place to put this...

The secret games aren't there on the T68i. They only put them in the T68 until MMS firmware became available because they had some extra room.

There is a thread with T68i tricks...
