This one is a very simple tip but quite useful. Do you know that you can get delivery report from the SMS that you are sending? This way, you will know whether the recipient has received your SMS or not. I found this is very useful feature; but it is disabled by default in most (if not all) S60 devices.

Here is how you can enable SMS delivery report:

• Launch Messaging application.
• Select Options | Settings | Text message menu.
• Set Receive report option to Yes.

Now each time, you sent SMS, you would get a delivery report. You can check the status of your delivery report from Reports folder.

I just received a new Nokia N95 two days ago. Yes, it?s quite late. Nokia N95 has been around for a couple of months and I just got a chance to play with it now. Well, I live in a country where no operator is selling Nokia Nseries. We have to buy Nseries either from outside the country or from the ?gray market?.

Anyway, on the first day, I had a problem with TV-Out. I connected my device to the TV and surprisingly the output is not as expected. The picture on the TV is black and white and it flickers a lot.

The problem was eventually caused by different television system, i.e. NTSC versus PAL. NTSC is an analog television used in North America, Japan and some Asian countries. PAL is many parts of the world, including many European and Asian countries.

In my case, I have a television that supports NTSC only; while my new N95 comes from Europe where PAL is the default setting. This problem can be easily solved because we can chance the output format of N95?s TV Out. To change it, go to Tools | Settings | General | Enhancement | TV-Out | TV system. Change the setting to the one that matches your television.

There are many television models that support PAL and NTSC system; so you may not need to change anything.

Back in December, I posted a blog about how to unlock protected memory card in case you forget the password. My suggestion was to reformat the memory card. The posting tends to be very popular one. Many people solved their problem by reformatting their memory cards.

However, some other people still have password on their memory card even though they never set it. Apparently this problem occurs on some phones, mostly happens on Nokia Eseries phones. Thanks to Zahorijs who pointed this out.

How to solve the problem? If, for some reasons, you activate remote lock option on your phone, it will change your memory card’s password too. Just for your information, remote lock option allows you to lock your phone by sending SMS to it. It is a nice feature if you accidentally left your phone somewhere and you don’t want other people using it. You can activate this feature from Tools | Settings | Security | Phone and SIM | Allow remote lock menu. The password of your memory card will be your remote lock message.

So, if you still remember your remote lock message, then try to unlock your memory card’s password using that message.

Hope this tip helps. And please do not post any comments on my previous posting any more. Your question was already answered by Zahorijs as well as this posting.
