counters

By direct enter to this test you can reset counters from Menu 10-41 to Menu 10-43 and from Menu 10-61 to Menu 10-66.

If you reset these counters at the beginning of each month, you can compare the number of sent SMSes (Menu 10-65) and made calls (Menu 10-63) with your billing. Additionaly (in some prepaid cards - for example, in Polish Tak-Tak) you pay to your operator for few SMS messages (in this example 10), when you send first of them. When you will clear these counters in start of this period (before first SMS), you will know, when another money will be taken from your account...

Counters values are saved in EEPROM memory, when phone is disabled. You can reset them using Menu 10-60. They're reset too, when they exceed their maximal values.

In dual phones you will have such Menu 10-61:

When counters exceed their maximal values, they're reset (you can make it using Menu 10-60 too). Their values (it's about ccc and next counters only) are written to EEPRM, when phone is disabled.

Values of these counters (excluding error codes) are stored in EEPROM, when phone is disabled. You can reset them using Menu 10-60 (it's made too, when they exceed their maximal values).

If you don't disable your phone and all time you are in your network time range, in this menu you will find information (in approximation), how long it's enabled (check in Menu 10-10, how often is reset T3212 counter (ccc parameter) and multiply that time by eee parameter from this menu). You can use to make it counter from Menu 10-82 too (it's more precise, but require enabling some test) or service menu (in phones like Nokia 6130 or 3210).

Values of these counters (excluding error codes) are written to EEPROM, when phone is disabled. You can reset them using Menu 10-60 (it's made too, when they exceed their maximal values).

If you want to know a little more about sending SMS messages (or find SMSC of different operators), visit www.vdheyden.demon.nl/sms/index1.htm site.

Majority of computer programs don't write to their users, if SMS message sending was successfull - this test will be only way to check it.

The display is to be used by special debugging DSP software which can put some useful information to the memory locations on API RAM. When this display is selected then MCU copies the contents of those memory locations into display with format specified above.

In Nokia 3110 this test looks like Menu 10-80.

Menu 10-71, 10-72
Both tests allow to set DSP settings.

When you will directly enter to one of them, in both of them number below AUDIO ENHANCEMENT change - values depends on SIM card. You can now enter to one of them using arrows - sound emited by phone will change then (you can hear horrible noises and cracks). You can set values below AUDIO ENHANCEMENT too - save them (in decimal - maximal value is 65536) in 31 or 32 position in phonebook on SIM card (how to do it ? see description in Menu 10-17). Conf parameter from Menu 10-30 shows, what value was choosen here. You can back to normal sound, when you will disable and enable phone. Connecting headset or cat kit don't change sound effects with concrete values set here.

Some English sources write about this test:
"The display is reset and restarted when call is taken (if NetMonitor display counters are enabled). When call is terminated the display is frozen to show last values. Display values will not be saved to the EEPROM."

...but I haven't seen it my phone and they were equal 0 all the time (is something additionaly required to enable this test ?)

Saturated sample counters aaaaa - ddddd are counted in DSP and only the new counter value is sent to MCU. The microphone and earpiece signal levels are calculated in DSP and it sends the linear values to MCU which makes the linear to dB transformation (20*log10(x)) for the level values."

Some English descriptions write, that maximal value for counters is 99 h and 59 minutes. When first of them (aaaaa) will have this value, all of them will stop.

Unfortunatelly, these counters work only, when you have some test in netmonitor enabled (it means: when you will disable tests, values won't change even, when counters are enabled). It means, that you can have information here, how long you use netmonitor (first parameter), how long phone logged into network during this time (next)...

You you still want to measure time using this test, in Menu 10-83 select SHOW TASK MSG BUFS and enable Menu 10-87 (display will be empty then). Of course, there disadvantiges of it: you won't have identification incoming calls.

In service menu in Nokia 6130 (*#WARRANTY# code) and 3210 (*#WAR0ANTY# code) in "Life Timer" position you will find information, how many full days phone worked in network (first two digits before colon ":") and how long you make calls - rest of digits (two last digits before ":" mean hours, digits after it minutes). For example, 0701:35 means 7 days (during them phone worked in network) and 1 h 35 minutes of calls.
