For all my international readers this trick is for Airtel connection in India (www.airtelworld.com) and not www.airtel.com.

I have seen lot of free GPRS hack for Airtel in the Internet and most of them don’t work. So why not pay only for what you use. The normal GPRS recharge costs you 250 rupees.

Here is the setting for your mobile

  1. Create a new Data Account with APN as airtelfun.com
  2. Now create a new Internet profile with the following setting and assign this profile to use the above Data Account
    1. Use proxy : Yes
    2. Proxy Address : 100.1.200.99
    3. Port Number : 8080

This is a wap account and I use it to read news through my RSS reader in phone and browse the Internet with Opera Mini. I haven’t tried using this with a PC. Let me know whether this works for you. :)

And don’t fall for these kind of fake messages. :). Look at the number of replies. Now he has all your email addresses.

Many users end up in my blog searching “Sony ericsson themes, Sony ericsson secrets codes ..” etc in search engines but they don’t find exactly what they want. So I thought I will write something which any SE phone user will love.

Firstly let me warn you that playing with your phone settings is not a  joke You should take extreme care not to mess up things. you may end up damaging your phone beyond recovery.The tutorial is very simple and the picture below is what I have done to my W580i phone menu.

My menu

Did you like it?

OK …before you can start with you work make sure you have/satisfy the following

1. XS++ : This is the tool which will help you to transfer your new menu icons to your phone. If you dont have it download it from here .

2. Menu Icons : You can do a quick google search  for SE Menu icons  and you will get lot of sites with good menu icons.  If you dont find any, download any of the below menu icons pack from my site. These were not designed by me (Oh! yes you can design your own menu icons using another tool which I will mention later). I dont know who the designer is but I must say I love the designs. :-)

  1. menu-1.zip (This is the pack which I have used)
  2. tecnology-menu-icons.zip
  3. mixed-menu-icons.zip
  4. fire-menu-icons.zip

3. 80 - 100 % battery charge : Make sure you battery is fully charged. (This is very important)

4. USB drivers for your phone.

6. Data cable (You cant do anything without this.. bluetooth does not help you in this )

Now here is the step by step procedure.

1. Switch off your phone ( :) Yes you cannot see a live preview of your new menu… Like DIGG says “Patience My friend is a virtue”)

2. Open “XS++” and you should have something like this

3. Press “Connect” button. Leave the default settings as it is and you will see that XS++ will ask you to connect you phone.

4. Press and hold “c” in your phone and connect your phone to your PC with the USB cable (You have 30 seconds for this).

5. Xs++  will show your phone status (see below screenshot).

 6. Now slect the radio button for “FSX” (See below screenshot)

xs3.JPG

7. Press “Start FSX“. XS++ will start building your phone’s system folders. This may take some time depending on your phone’s model and the amount of data you have in your memory card. Dont worry if XS++ hangs for some time. Wait until all the folders are mapped.

8. Expand “tpa” (Click the + symbol) -> preset -> system -> menu

xs6.JPG

9. Now you will see a list of files. The PNG files you see are the icons. You will also see a file named menu.ml. This file has all the details about menu icons and their links.

10. Drag and drop the icon files which you have downloaded (Make sure you unzip the contents before uploading). By deafult XS++ replaces all the files but you can delete the existing icons manually.

11. uploading will take some time depending upon the size of your images.

12. Once the upload is complete. Click shutdown and press “Yes”  in the confirmation box.

Now disconnect your phone and switch it on.

Does it switch on? NO? OMG what have you done? Did you miss any step?

Yes! :) dont worry the phone will not switch until you perform the next step.

13. Remove and reinsert the battery. Switch on your phone and have fun with your new menu icons.

Hope you enjoyed this post. If you like more posts like this, why not subscribe to my RSS feeds to keep yourself updated? You can also subscribe via email. Just enter your email ID above.
