Everyone is aware of these features of this incredible gadget but do you know some things that in can do for your convenience? There are some tricks using which you can do some unbelievable things…
1) If you have forgotten your car lock remote at home and you are far away from your home, and you want to lock or unlock the car, what you will do? Simple. Take out your cell phone and call one who is present in your house. Tell him/her to get your car remote and press the lock/unlock button on the remote in front of the mobile phone you are online with. Hold your phone near your car and see magic. Your car will be locked/unlocked as soon as the person at home pressed the button on remote!
2) If your mobile’s battery is discharged enough in which you are sure that you cannot make any call and you want to make an emergency call, simple press *3379# and call button. Your battery indicator will display 50% increment in battery power. In this power, you can make calls and do your work for some time. NOTE: - This trick works with only FEW handsets. So, try it first in free time. If it works, then you can use this trick in emergency. But you should check whether this works with your handset or not.

4) If you don’t want your phone misused after its theft, store the handset’s IMEI number by pressing *#06#. It is a 16 digit number. If you lost your phone, just call your service provider and tell this IMEI number to them. They block the handset such that no one make or receive any call from your lost phone.

If your car is unlocked in this way, the door lock dealer has fooled you, because almost all the recent car locks use bidirectional data transfer with encryption keys at a frequency that cannot be recorded or transmitted through common recording or hearing devices, so this is a good way to test your car door’s security…..
about the 2nd point, I would like to tell you the adversities of using the emergency power…. sometimes, the battery does not charge again when you totally consume the emergency power(it wont even be detected as battery in the cellphone), this power is required in battery for initiating its most basic feature, i.e. charging and letting phone know that there is some power source in it…..
about the 3rd point, I tried a lot to call 112, they are always engaged(or may b the service is not active in India)….
abt the 4th, the thief must has to be a real dumbo, to not change the imei number, for you to search your phone…..
