Iphone serial number

Iphone serial number

Serial number provides some interesting information about your iPhone, like the week it was manufactured, the factory id and much more.



The first step is to locate the Serial Number. The easiest way to find it is to open your Settings app and navigate to General -> About -> Serial Number. You should also see the Serial Number in the Summary tab in iTunes when your iPhone is connected to the computer.

Serial numbers come in the form AABCCDDDEEF

where

> AA = Factory and machine ID
> B = Year manufactured (simplified to final digit, 2010 is 0, 2011 is 1, etc)
> CC = Week of production
> DDD = Unique identifier
> EEF = iPhone model, color of device and size of storage

For example, the serial 79028XXXA4S is from factory 79 (presumably Foxconn), was manufactured in 2010 in the 28 week, and is a black 16GB iPhone 4.




Unfortunately, Apple has changed the serial number generation with the CDMA iPhone 4, so this is not applicable for the CDMA iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.

HIDE DATA IN MOBILE WITHOUT ANY SOFTWARE

HIDE DATA IN MOBILE WITHOUT ANY SOFTWARE

Have you ever wanted to hide folders in your phone? If yes,there here is very interesting solution for you to hide folders in your phone and youdont even need any software for that.
This trick can be used for any JAVA phone from Nokia,Samsung,Motorola,LG or any other company.
JUST FOLLOW SIMPLE STEPS

1. Create any new folder or you can use any existing folder that is to be hidden.
2. Rename the folder to any name but with the extension of .jad like if I want to hide my images folder then I will name it as IMG.jad
3. Now create a new folder with the same name in the same directory but with the extension of.jar So, I would create the folder with the name IMG.jar
4. And thats it!! My orignal images folder which has been renamed with .jad gets hidden and only folder with.jar extension is visible which is empty.So,my data is protected/hidden from unwanted eyes.

To unhide the orignal folder you have to remove the .jar extension from the new folder and your orignal folder with all the files and with .jad will become visible.

Method #1 - Kill explorer.exe

Do successfully delete an undeletable file that is caught be the explorer.exe process (and most of them are) do the following:

1. Open a Command Prompt window and leave it open.
2. Close all open programs.
3. You now need to close EXPLORER.EXE. The proper way to shutdown Explorer is to raise the "Shut Down Windows" dialog (select "Shut Down..." from the start menu), hold down CTRL+SHIFT+ALT and press the CANCEL button. Explorer will exit cleanly.

Note: The <CTRL+SHIFT+ALT> at the 'Shut Down Windows' dialog method of closing Explorer is built into Explorer. (It was specifically designed so that developers writing Shell Extensions could get Explorer to release their Shell Extension DLLs while debugging them).

1. Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory where the undeletable file is located in. At the command prompt type DEL <filename> where <filename> is the file you wish to delete.
2. Go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the GUI shell.
3. Close Task Manager. Copy By.mr.alshan king

Configure local user options

Configure local user options

I hate the Users icon in the Control Panel. I rather edit the user properties myself and not let a dumb wizard do it for me.

Follow the next steps:  

1. Right-click My Computer and choose Manage.

2. In the Computer Management window (there's much you can do from that window - look around if you haven't by now) click the Local Users and Groups console, and then click the Users sub-folder (double-click to expand it if it hasn't by now).

3. In the right-pane select any user and right-click it. Choose Properties.

4. You can make some changes to the selected user, including disabling it, resetting his password and so on.

Warning! Do not play around with the Administrator and the Guest built-in users nor with the built-in groups unless you know exactly what you're doing. You might lock yourself out and then come crying to me. I won't support you. Be warned! copy By: mr.alshan king

Configure local user options - extended

I told you I hate the Users icon in the Control Panel. Now that you know about the LUSRMGR.MSC tool (yes, try to run that from the Run menu) you're probably wondering what else there is to do with a simple local user.

Well, for one thing - how about configuring his or her logon hours?

"Well ok" you say. "How do we do that? Local Users and Groups console, right?"

No! These wise guys from MS figured that you don't need that much control over local users. Why would you? Local users are for workgroups and thus don't need that many setting to be configure.

Wrong!

Sometimes you do want to change a user setting for one reason or another. Why don't we have a GUI interface for that?

Well, we don't. We need to use the NET USER command from the CMD console.

Follow the next steps:  

1. Run the CMD command from the Run menu (or from the Quick Launch toolbar if you've followed my tips so far).
2. Type in

net user xxxxxx

(where xxxxxx is the username you want to edit)

The command displays the user's properties, all of them, not just the ones MS wants you to see. For instance, you can see when was his or her last logon, when he or here have changed their password etc.

3. Type in
   net user xxxxxx /times:s-f,8-19
   
   (where xxxxxx is the username you want to edit, the s-f means Sunday to Friday and 8-19 means the hours of the day when you want the user to be able to log-on)
   Again, run
   net user xxxxxx
   and see the difference.

Type in

net user xxxxxx /times:all

to get the user logon hours back to default.9

4. Play around with the NET USER command. You can get it to do very nice things (read the Create Users for Testing Purposes page for an example).

Disable the Error Reporting option

I don't want Microsoft to know about the errors I have (if any) on my system You don't either. Disable this option and stop those annoying pop-up screens that ask you if you want to report this or other error to Microsoft. Read more about it on the Turn-Off Error Reporting in Windows XP/2003 page.

Follow the next steps:  

1. Right-click My Computer and select Properties (or press the Windows logo key ÿ and the Pause/Break key together).
2. In the Advanced tab press the Error Reporting button.

3. Select Disable Error Reporting. If you want you can select the option to let you know what happened (in case of an application error). Copy by:mr.alshan king

4. Click Ok all the way out.

Add Local Area Connection icons to your system tray

Add Local Area Connection icons to your system tray

Instead of right-clicking the Network Places icon and then re-right-clicking your LAN icons - make these icons appear on your system tray area for quicker access to the LAN and protocol settings (such as changing TCP/IP settings).

Follow the next steps:  

1. Right-click an My Network Places on the desktop.

3. In the Local Area Connection Properties window select the "Show icon in the notification...". Click Ok.

4. A new icon appears in the tray area near the clock. Right click it and choose Properties to quickly access your network settings.

BTW, each time the NIC is disconnected it will tell you that it is and you will see a red X over the icon.
