thnx buddy.

Thanks buddy.

Short answer: It's actually very busy! Long answer: It's constantly turning parts of itself on and off; on to perform vital functions and off again to save power so that the battery lasts longer. By far the most important thing it does is to wake periodically and turn on its receiver briefly to see if it has been paged, which means to find out if there is an incoming call. This happens on what is known as a slot cycle, and the period of the slot cycle is controlled by the cell (for all intents and purposes). Slot cycle indices are numbers from 0 to 7, and for any index the period is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^index. In North America, by far the most common slot cycle indices are 1 and 2, which indicates a period of 2.56 seconds or 5.12 seconds respectively. I haven't heard of anyone using anything longer than this, though the specification supports slot cycles of 163.84 seconds. The receiver consumes quite a lot of power. relatively speaking, and the purpose of the slot cycle is to permit the phone to keep the receiver turned off most of the time. This is vital to extend battery life. When the phone first registers with a cell, the cell and phone determine which paging channel the phone will use (if there is more than one) and what phase of the slot cycle that phone will use. Thereafter, the phone wakes periodically, turns its receiver on briefly to see if it has an incoming call or if there is other traffic from the cell it must respond to, and if there is nothing then it shuts the receiver down again and waits until the next slot time. When an incoming call arrives at the cell for a given phone, the phone system generates the sound of a phone ringing as a comfort tone back to the caller, and the cell waits until the slot time for the phone. When it comes around, the cell sends a message to the phone telling it that there is an incoming call. This causes the phone to waken and set up the call, and to begin to ring. If the phone doesn't respond to the page, the cell may try again on the next slot. The advantage of a longer slot cycle is that the phone spends a lower percentage of the time with its receiver on and thus the battery will last longer. It also means there is more capacity on the paging channel. The advantage of a shorter slot cycle is that the phone gets more chances to receive the page, and will receive the page sooner. When the cell system needs to send out that page, it obviously needs to know where to broadcast it. The cell system as a whole will be divided into zones, and when a phone is paged, every sector of every cell in the zone it's in will carry the page. This means that no matter where the phone is located in that zone, it will receive the page. When the phone moves from one zone to another, it registers again, which permits the cell to know where it is located. The size and layout of the zones is another tradeoff: if the zones are large, the traffic channels will carry a great deal of redundant paging information and can become overloaded, but the phone doesn't have to perform zone-based registration very often as it moves around, which means its battery will last longer. On the other hand, if the zones are small then the paging channels are used more efficiently but the phone will need to register more often and thus will use more battery power. You may have noticed that when you turn your phone off it takes several seconds for it to actually shut down. That's because it is sending a message to the cell to tell the cell that the phone is going offline. However, the phone can go down unexpectedly without having the chance to send this to the cell (for instance, the battery could be popped from the phone unexpectedly while the phone is operating, which is generally not recommended), and in that case the phone would be offline but the cell wouldn't know it. That would then mean that the cell would try to handle an incoming call for that phone by paging it even though the phone was off, and it generally means that the cell's database would be loaded with entries for phones which aren't available. As a long term recovery for that, the phone is required in most systems to do timer-based registration, which means that every ten or twenty minutes it turns its transmitter on to let the cell know that it's still there. If the cell misses a couple of these registrations in a row, it decides that the phone has gone offline and removes it from the database of "phones which are currently turned on". Under some circumstances, the cell system can directly challenge the phone for a registration. This happens on the paging channel at the slot, and when the phone receives this message, it turns its transmitter on and sends a registration immediately. If there is pending voice mail for the phone, the phone will be told on a slot to alert its user of this fact. All of these registration messages sent by the phone are nearly identical, and they simply identify the phone and contain a few other important pieces of information about it. Despite how it sounds, they (deliberately) don't happen very often and (deliberately) represent a negligible impact on standby time. But they are necessary for the phone system as a whole to work properly. Of course, the phone is also updating its display to show the current date and time and signal strength and amount of energy remaining in the battery, and perhaps other things depending on the phone model. That "idle" phone is plenty busy! Got it via mail.

Hi guys I'm working on a new skin for Sony Ericsson k700i phone. I released a skin for this phone in past and I got good response from all of u. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44096203/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44158518/ So I decided to create another Vista theme. Its a big update over the previous release: 1. I hv tried to make all images Transparent, like taskbar, background, menubar, selection bar, etc. 2. Each image has been changed to make it more Vista-ish. 3. A few colors hv been changed and now u'll feel an Aero experience in this theme. Following is a screenshot for all of u: I hope u'll like it. I'll release is asap. If u hv any comment/suggestion, pls post it.

Both themes released, pls post ur comments/feedbacks here: http://www.rimweb.in/forums/index.php?showtopic=9658 Closing Topic...

Guys Recently I released 2 skins for Sony Ericsson Cell Phones. One for "SE k700i" and other for "SE w810" which will also work for lots of other SE models, like SE k750, etc. Preview: Download Here I hope you guys will like them.

U can download the setup from here: http://www.reliancecommunications.co.in/we...nectsearch1.jsp

OK guys! After getting lots of request for SE W810i, today I decided to make one for this phone but believe me it wasnt that easy as I thought earlier. The theme is very much different than K700i. I had to create lots of images, resize existing images and lots of other things. But finally I was able to create a theme for this phone too. Here is a preview how it looks: I hv tried to provide as much transparency as I could. I hv tried my best and now pls post ur comments and suggestions.

Right-click on the setup file and enable "Compatibility Mode" in "Compatibility" tab. It should start the setup.

thnx buddy. If its possible to make SE theme compatible to Nokia phones, I'll surely do it.

thnx buddy but the fonts are not included in theme. Those r default SE fonts. We can't change fonts in SE themes.

Happy Birthday guys.

I hv used Spybot S&D in past but now it has become crap. Currently I'm using Windows defender and its working fine for me. U can also try Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE...

There r lots of cracks/serials available on net, which claim to make ur windows Genuine but most of them r crap and most of the cracks come with spyware/virus. So beware of using such cracks! And pls don't ask about how to get them or related things, otherwise I'll hv to close the topic.

Happy Birthday guys! hv a BLAST today.... Also belated Happy Birthday to "sur", "adwait", "supernova", "rEdshiFt" and others.

Hi guys After a long time I'm very excited to announce my new theme "VistaVG Ultimate". Download VistaVG Ultimate by Vishal Gupta I have fixed a few BUGs, Added new features, new styles! FIX: 1. Chevron BUG fixed. 2. Startmenu image BUG fixed. And a few other BUGs fixed... NEW: 1. A new style "Black" has been added to the theme after a lot of demand for black titlebar. 2. A separate theme for Startmenu Searchbar lovers. It shows the Vista searchbar in Start menu but its fake. You need "LSPatch" to use it. I have included it in the pack. And more... UPDATE: 1. Titlebar Text is shown in Left now. 2. Common Tasks are also shown in Left but I have included a "shellstyle.dll" file for bottom common tasks. 3. Aero style for 32x icon size is default now. 4. Lots of new Vista images, like "All Programs" arrow, Explorer arrows, Startmenu images, Logoff/Shutdown images, etc. 5. A few colors changed. And lots of other small updates... HOW TO USE: 1. Extract the contents and u'll get a folder. 2. In this folder, you'll get 4 more folders: => Bottom Common Tasks (This folder contains "shellstyle.dll" file for showing common tasks in explorer at bottom.) => Fonts (This folder contains Segoe UI fonts required for the theme. Copy them to "%windir%\Fonts" folder.) => Styler Toolbar (This folder contains Style toolbar for explorer. You need "Styler" installed on your system.) You can download Styler from here: http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.id.551.htm => Theme (This folder contains the main theme.) 3. Copy all contents in "Theme" folder to "%windir%\Resources\Themes\" folder. 4. Now you can set the theme using Desktop Properties. 5. Also make sure you have patched the "uxtheme.dll" file to allow 3rd party visual styles, if its not patched, then download and run the UXtheme Patcher from here: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Uxth...nload-2369.html I hope you all will like this theme. Please give your valuable feedbacks.
