Specification: Samsung SGH-i600 is a HSDPA/Tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE Class 10/WiFi Windows Mobile 5 smartphone and with a  QWERTY keyboard, 1.3 Megapixel camera/camcorder, Music player, Bluetooth, Micro SD slot, 218MB ROM and 64MB RAM - Samsung Spec Sheet: [Link]

Hello again.It seems my ‘hacks’ for the i600 are going down a treat, so I thought I would list a few more for everyone…In the UK, the Samsung SGH-i600 (Called the ‘Blackjack’ in the USA) is only provided via Orange. Unfortunately this means that it has the horrible Orange branding [crippleware], and is only running Windows Mobile 5.

The Samsung site allows you to upgrade from WM5 to Windows Mobile 6 via this link: http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/i600/index.jspUnfortunately… the UK is not listed (to to Orange… Grrrr…), but if you are from one of the following countries, you can slide on over there and grab some WM6 (well… WM5.2 in new clothes!); Belgium, Bulgaria, Demark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Ukraine.

Apparently, you can override your i600 to another country + language (make sure it’s one you can read!) and then download the appropriate update, get WM6 and then change the country settings back. This is all controlled by the service menu by dialling *#1546792*# and then using the preconfig password *#81230*# - THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE so don’t do this without making a full backup first!

I have found lots of information and hacks here: http://i607.org/ the SGH-i607 is the USA version, but many of the ‘hacks’ work on the European version of this phone

Hidden Applications

Whilst rooting around in the \Windows folder on my phone, I found a series of applications that don’t normally show on the menu. Here is a list of the more interesting ones I found. If you want to use them on a frequent basis, use the ActiveSync explorer to right-click-drag and create a shortcut in the \Start Menu folder for any of these apps.

EXE Name
Details

CamTest_Int, CamTest_Ext
Turns on and shows the Internal (front) or External (rear) cameras. Interestingly, this takes <1sec to initialise, so why does the camera app take so long to load!?

cprog
Appears to show the last call details

instmsgr
MSN Instant Messenger (You could setup a quick shortcut to this instead of having to go through the Internet / MSN / Messenger route…

MySimMessage
Shows SMS Messages that are on the SIM (as opposed to on the Phone)

Playsound
MP£ Test app that allows you to test the Speaker, Earpiece and Headset - Handy for checking your Bluetooth headsets etc

RTCViewer
Shows the internal RTC (Real Time Clock)

SoundTest
Haven’t quite worked this one out… it appears to be a more advanced version of PlaySound

wrlsmgr
Wireless Manager - Top Tip: Set a shortcut to startmenu, then assign to a speed dial (Press Menu when the icon is selected, then choose ‘1 - Menu Shortcut’) - I’ve set mine as speedfial 9, so I just hold down the ‘9′ key for a couple of second to bring up the Wireless manager

TestMode
Hidden App: You need to create a shortcut to the Start Menu to access this, or use something like Resco File Explorer to see it.

This shows *lots* of Engineer stuff (3G, UTMS, GSM Cell Info etc), and appears to let you do (possibly) damaging things to your phone. Only use this if you know what you are doing!


NES Emulation

I found most of this information on i607.org’s NES Page [Link], but here is the simple guide for the UK Version of the Samsung SGH-i600

  1. Download Pocket Nester Plus - http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/Dash%20Applications/SN%20PocketNesterPlus%20D.cab
  2. Download either All the ROM’s as a 40Mb CAB File (http://surrealnetworks.net/NES%20ROMs/393NESROMS.cab), or the ‘50 Classics’ as a 10Mb CAB File (http://surrealnetworks.net/NES%20ROMs/50%20NES%20Classics.cab) or individual games [HERE]
  3. Install Pocket Nester
  4. Install the ROMS (to your Memory card!)
  5. Install the Pocket Nester Update [Pocket Nester Update] by copying the .exe over the top of the one in the \Program Files\PocketNester (You only need this if you already have an older version)
  6. Open the game, go into Preferences and tick “Associate .NES Files”, also set up all the keys (Try to make them memorable!)
  7. The Open ROM option does not work unless you install tgetfile.dll… this is time-limited, so I suggest just browsing to the ROM Folder and select the Game you want. Nester will automatically load. The ROM’s should be located in \Storage Card\My Documents\ROMs

When playing a game, if you can’t seem to get it to exit, hold down the HOME key, this will bring up the menu.
