Phone Fun

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

I just flashed the newest version of code onto my Motorola V551 Cell Phone.
This release supposedly increases battery life by nearly 100-200%. (According to SEVERAL reports at HowardForums)
The software menus are noticeably faster than they were before.

I also did a little SEEM hacking to unlock a few features I’ve been wanting.

I turned off the annoying Motorola Hello and Goodbye animations, as well as enabled the ability to have the phone Vibrate and Ring at the same time.

I feel sufficiently nerdy for the night.

EDIT: And I can make MP3 ringtones now too. ;)
