26 <p>I
\92d like to write, that I
\92m not professionally connected with any
\r
27 cellular network or phone company. This NetMonitor guide is based on many
\r
28 different materials and exists thanks to the support of many different people (see
\r
29 <i><a href="faq_net6.htm#Literatura">Information sources</a></i>). This is a guide made by user. It may lack description
\r
30 to some functions or contain errors and mistakes (resulting from wrong translation or my ignorance) and some strange
\r
31 expressions. Many questions remain unanswered. Furthermore, this page is still "under construction". Encouraging, isn
\92t it?
\r
32 But that
\92s the (sad) true: <a href="http://www.nokia.com/">Nokia</a> doesn
\92t make appropriate materials available...
\r
33 I can only assure you, that I do my best to make this NetMonitor description as reliable and complete as possible.
\r
35 <p>In this moment on my homepage you can also find Polish version of this FAQ.

\r
107 <p>Net Monitor is just a special mode, which
\96 when activated
\96 shows different information about the network and about
\r
108 phone modules, SIM card, etc. After activation your phone will usually display a new, additional menu containing
\r
109 strange and constantly changing letters and digits. There are no standards here
\96 each phone shows different data
\r
110 and there are different methods of activation (my description concerns NetMonitor mode in Nokia phones
\96 if you have some
\r
111 other phone, you have to go somewhere else). I can even say, that NetMonitor (in some form) can be found in practically
\r
112 each present mobile phone (because it is unprofitable for the producers to make two separate software versions
\96\r
113 with and without NetMonitor). Here you can find some URLs to the pages describing activation and/or individual

157 <p>"Normal" users surely don
\92t need any NetMonitor, because simply most of the data included there can be of
\r
158 any interest and use only for specialists (who can find out almost everything about the network). You also can:
\r
162 <li>feel better and be able to brag that your phone has such a BBIIIIIGGGGGG choice of different options</li>
\r
163 <li>observe different network and phone parameters (I tried to explain their meaning in my description) and find out

\r
178 <p>I
\92d say: NO. Each phone monitors the network even when there is no NetMonitor menu active.
\r
180 <p>But why some users say, that they have to charge their batteries more often after enabling NetMonitor? It is easy to explain:
\r
181 they frequently switch from one test to another (some people cannot stop ;-) and do it habitually) and the phone after each
\r
182 key press (by default) turns on the light (and uses much power - see <b><a href="faq_net3.htm#Menu23">test 23</a></b>).
\r
183 This can be partially cured by using <b><a href="faq_net3.htm#Menu18">test 18</a></b>. Additionally,
\r
184 some tests (for example
\r
185 <b><a href="faq_net3.htm#Menu17">test 17</a></b> or <b><a href="faq_net3.htm#Menu19">test 19</a></b>) can put
\r
186 your phone in a state of constant network searching (which drains the battery).
\r
188 <p>To recap, NetMonitor activation itself doesn
\92t affect power consumption. It can be only changed by some conscious
\r
189 user operations...

375 <p>Each program described in <a href="#4">previous point</a> allows you to activate one of two NetMonitor versions:
\r
379 <li>limited, including tests from 1 to 19 (concerning cellular network only). This version is usually called
\r
380 "Field Test" or "Operator field tests" (or you have to enter 242 code to activate it)</li>
\r
383 full, also including phone (and sometimes SIM card) tests. It is called "Engineering" (or "R&D field tests") and its activation

\r
393 I recommend you enable full version of NetMonitor
\96 you can always replace it with a limited version
\r
394 (by choosing <a href="faq_net6.htm#Menu242">test 242</a> in your phone). It doesn
\92t work in reverse direction (you cannot activate full menu from
\r
395 within the phone
\96 it doesn
\92t accept <a href="faq_net6.htm#Menu243">test 243</a> when limited version is active; of course you can still use
\r
396 methods described in <a href="#4">previous point</a>).

\r
408 <p>The method of re-programming EEPROM memory is connected with opening the casing and making modifications in your
\r
409 phone (which leaves many traces, scratches etc. and voids warranty).
\r
411 <p>However, these problems don
\92t appear (you don't have to be affraid) when using one of the described programs
\r
412 or code (but I can be wrong . there are opinions that this method leaves a trace in phone.s memory, too)...
\r
414 <p>Of course, before getting phone to service, is better to
\r
415 <a href="faq_net6.htm#15">deactivate</a> NetMonitor.
\r
416 Sometimes, for example, when phone's energy system is damaged, it could be impossible -
\r
417 you can have some problems then (some of people working in service can think, that

\r
457 Nokia 3210 also has a completely different icon for this menu, 6250 doesn't have any icon. So, it's normal and don't be affraid.

459 <p>There is also interesting thing connected with it: in Nokia 8210 icon of phone

505 methods described in <a href="#4"><i>How to activate it ?</i></a> to regain access to the full version !</font></b>).
\r
506 Before number of test you can add "+". Unfortunately, in Nokia 6210/7110 there
\r
507 is one wrong thing here: before entering number of new test you must delete old number
\r
508 using right function key (in other models you can enter it without it).

\r
511 After pressing OK the chosen test appears on screen (and its number is shown on the top) in place of your network

512 name/operator logo (BTW: in some phones (like Nokia 3310), when you will enable clock, alarm clock, stopwatch, countdown timer, second line (ALS function),
\r
513 test in netmonitor and lock keypad, time will disappear :-)). If you enter incorrect test number, NO TEST appears on screen and the phone returns to the last
\r
514 correctly displayed test. If entered number is greater than 256, 512 or 768, then 256 (or its multiple) is subtracted and
\r
515 resulting menu number is displayed (for example numbers 300 and 556 run test 44). Some test when accessed this way
\r
516 (by typing its number and pressing OK to enter them directly) modify its contents (details are described later, I call this
\r
517 "DIRECT" menu access
\92 - for example, see <b><a href="faq_net3.htm#Menu18">test 18</a></b>).

\r
520 You can look at different tests by scrolling them using up/down arrows (don
\92t worry
\96 this method doesn
\92t change
\r
521 any settings in tests)
\96 each key press moves you to the next/previous available test. In some models
\r
522 (for example in 5110) these keys have different functions (like displaying last dialed numbers, opening
\r
523 and scrolling phonebook or changing the volume)
\96 unfortunately they don
\92t work while NetMonitor is on screen:-(.
\r
524 However, you can still adjust volume during a call in Nokia 5xxx/3210/3310/6188/6185/6160/6120
\96 by pressing and holding
\r
525 (longer than normally - about a second) one of the arrow keys.

\r
528 Help (description) to the current test can be displayed by pressing and holding * key
\r
529 (repeat this to return to test values). However, this shortcut works only in some phones
\r
530 (<a href="faq_net2.htm#jest">my explanation to this fact</a> can be found in
\r
531 <i><a href="faq_net2.htm#12">Description of the individual tests</a></i>). That's why I've added these help

\r
570 your phone doesn
\92t display some of the messages (for example. "...calling")
\r
571 and there is no calling party identification recognition (the only exception to the rule is a message:

595 (but before moment, when test values will be replaced with help or help with test values),
\r
597 <li>Now you must do everything fast - * can't be written on the screen and
\r
598 text below NaviKey can't change: instantly press * for a moment and let it.
\r
599 You can repeat this point - effects will depend on repeat numbers. For example,
\r
600 with firmware 5.07 (or 5.11)
\r
601 and 0 repeats you will have access to first "hidden menu", with 1 repeat
\r
602 you phone hangs and turn off (see <a href="faq_net4.htm#Menu36">test 36</a>
\r
603 - it can be interesting), with 2 repeats it changes language ;-)), with 3
\r
604 you can enter to another "hidden menu", sometimes (I don't know exactly, when)
\r
605 you can see "CONTACT SERVICE" message (restart you phone and everything will
\r
606 be OK). With firmware 5.24 result are different:
\r
607 with 0 repeats you can enter second "hidden menu", with 1 or 2 repeats
\r
608 desappear NaviKey description, with 3 its description changes to "Send".
\r
610 <li>wait longer moment</li>
\r
611 <li>press for a moment and let one of the keys: *, 0 to 9 or #</li>
\r
617 You can restart your Nokia 5110, if it has older firmware (it doesn't work with 5.24,
\r
618 but with 5.07 and 5.11 works):
\r
622 <li>Press and keep * key. In a moment, when * desappear from the screen
\r
623 (but before moment, when test values will be replaced with help or help with test values),
\r
626 <li>Now you must do everything fast - * can't be written on the screen and
\r
627 text below NaviKey can't change: instantly press * for a moment and let it, instantly press
\r
628 * for longer time (2 sec. or longer) and let, instantly press * for a moment and let it</li>
\r
631 <p>The reason of it is stack overflow (see <a href="faq_net4.htm#Menu35">test 35</a>
\r
632 and <a href="faq_net4.htm#Menu57">test 57</a>). If it doesn't work with your phone
\r
633 and you have Nokia 6110, you can also use another trick to reboot phone:
\r
636 <li>Go to the Calendar (<b>Menu-8</b>)</li>
\r
637 <li>Make a note or reminder.</li>
\r
638 <li>Enter some text into the edit box.</li>
\r
639 <li>Hold "Clear" until the whole text is cleared, then press "Back".</li>
\r
640 <li>Press "0". The main screen will now be showing but a space appears on the screen. (you can't see it)</li>
\r
641 <li>Enter 4 digits (e.g. 1234).</li>
\r
642 <li>Use the down arrow to move the cursor to the left side of the numbers and the space (Down arrow twice).</li>
\r
643 <li>Now enter 6 digits and press the call button.</li>
\r
646 <p>TDMA 800/TDMA 1900 phones:
\r
648 <p>After activation you gain access to the new position (called "Field Test") in main phone menu.
\r
650 <p>When you enter this menu, you can type number of the test, which should be displayed (1-7 in
\r
651 Nokia 6160) or enter 0 to disable it.
\r
653 <p>You can look at different tests by scrolling them using up/down arrows. During voice calls, depending on how
\r
654 NetMonitor was entered, the arrow keys may switch tests (you can't change volume then) or adjust volume.
\r
656 <p>If the keypad is locked while a NetMonitor tests are active, pressing
\r
657 0-9, *, or # will toggle the screen back to the User Interface Display.
\r
658 Pressing Talk, End, the arrow keys, or the soft menu keys will return the test.
\r
660 <p>In Nokia 2120 or 2160 you can also display description (help) to displayed
\r
661 tests by pressing and holding "ABC" key.
