Beginner's Guide to Mobile Tweaking

Did you know you can have a lot of fun with your (and your your friends’) mobile phones? There’s no end to the pranks you can pull. But that’s not the only thing I’ll cover in this feature; I’ll also tell you some simple ways of doing more than the usual with your handset.

Message Tricks
While messaging is the second most common feature today, you will find there’s more to it than just sending an SMS. For phones that don’t come with Office Tools etc, you can use the message space to save notes. Just compose whatever you need to, and save it as a draft.

Secondly, if you’re at a loss for venting your anger, especially with your boss, you can simply start by writing the meanest message. Save it, and go to sleep. Wake up the next day, and promptly delete it. Anger gone, and there will be no unfortunate repercussions!

Alarm Tricks
Did you know you can keep more than one alarm for a single day? I’m sure there are many like me who find it difficult to wake up early for office. What do you do? Just keep multiple alarms, time it every 10 minutes, and irritate yourself to wakefulness. In old phones that may not have this option, just press the center button and it will keep switching off for short durations (the ‘snooze’ option).

Though most people use the phone alarm to wake up every morning, I use it to wake others! It’s very simple. If you find your friend’s phone lying around (and you will), just set an alarm for an unearthly hour. But please don’t blame us if your friends aren’t as amused as you are.

Multiple Uses for Camera
If you’re thinking I’d suggest you record some candid moments between you and your significant other and upload them to the Internet, think again. My suggestions are (as always) more virtuous.

Use One: You know how some people have a knack of being called Amit or Sameer or Salil? At any given point, if you are social enough, you will find at least two of each in your contacts. This creates confusion. Obviously, you can use some established naming conventions (Such as Amit2 or Henry VIII) , but that’s pass
