1) Is it possible to upload Java Games and Ringtones through the Infrared port ???

2) What file extensions does the phone support (MMF, Jad, Jar, Mid ...) ???

3) What program should I use in order to connect the phone to my PC, is EasyGPRS a good enough program or can you recommend on another program ???

4) Can somone please write me some Technician Codes for the C100 ???

1-throught tne infrared i think that you can but u must have infrared hardware installed on u`r pc.

2-supports gif,mmf,jad i think

3=easygprs 2.1.8 with data cable is perfect

4=codes:SAMSUNG CODES


Samsung SGH 100 and all other



*#06# - Displaying IMEI

*#9999# - Displaying firmware version
Displays firmware version.

*#9998# - Displaying configuration version
Displays phone configuration version. The versions differ in e.g. number of languages and number of known GSM network operators.

*#9997# - Selftest
Activates all segments of display and starts to ring. This function can be interrupted by pressing any key.

*#9993# - Engineering functions
Unblocks the Engineering functions. After entering this code, the new item - Engineering functions - will be added into menu. This item has two submenus: Revisions, where you can get the same information as by using codes 9999 and 9998 and Cell Info with information on cells. For more information, see Network monitoring. Item Engineering functions is available until switching off the phone.

*#9990# - Battery Monitor

Battery test. The meaning of the first line is not yet known, unfortunatelly.

C98 - remaining capacity of acumulator in percent
M1599955 - Counter of relative time remaining until discharge of battery in 10ths of second.
31 - temperature of accumulator
68 - voltage of accumulator [V*10]
TIMER - counter of charging/discharging time in seconds

It is quite difficult to finish the test, because monitor is permanently overlapping normal display contents. The easiest way is to switch off the phone. However you can press the CLR button for 1 second, enter *#9990# and press the CLR again.



*#9000# - SIM Lock
Makes the phone refuse every other card then the one presently active. You can enter the card exchange password. WARNING ! The asterisks are displayed while entering password and no verification is required. In case of mistyping the password you probably won't be able to deactivate this feature. Phone will block itself with message Phone is blocked after 10 wrong password entries. Reactivation is very difficult.


*#9001# - Group SIM Lock
This function has not been investigated yet and requires a special SIM card. WARNING ! The asterisks are displayed while entering password and no verification is required. In case of mistyping the password you probably won't be able to deactivate this feature. Phone will block itself with message Phone is blocked after 10 wrong password entries. Reactivation is very difficult.



*#9002# - Operator SIM Lock
This function has not been investigated yet and requires a special SIM card. WARNING ! The asterisks are displayed while entering password and no verification is required. In case of mistyping the password you probably won't be able to deactivate this feature. Phone will block itself with message Phone is blocked after 10 wrong password entries. Reactivation is very difficult.




*#9003# - Network SIM Lock
Makes the phone refuse SIM card of any other operators. The password is to be entered during activation, which is than required to disable this feature or while trying to use SIM card of another operator. Most phones sold at a discounted price may be protected by this password. WARNING ! Do not try to remove this protection, the phone will block itself with message Phone is blocked after 10 invalid entries. Reactivation is very difficult.



Networking Monitoring



The phone saves the information on the actual and maximally six others cells, it can use in case of need. Information on each cell is divided into 2 display pages, giving a total of 14 pages of information. After entering *#9993#, go to menu and choose Engineering functions and Cell Info. The first page of information on actual cell will appear on the display. You can switch between pages using either arrows or by pressing numbers 0..6.


FCN - channel number
RXl - intensity of signal in dBm
Cl - Value in dBm remaining until the phone change actual cell (if any)
SC - terminal is synchronized with data-flow of the cell
GLn - type of GSM-network (GL1 for GSM Phase 1 and GL2 for GSM Phase 2)
IDL - status of terminal

IDL - (IDLE) Idle
SER - (SEARCH) Searching for the cell...
*** - (***..?) The connection with the cell is being established (before communication)
DED - (DEDICATED) terminal is communicating with the cell
RXa - defined extreme value of intensity of signal in dBm of usability of the cell
TXp - VF output power used for the first initialization of the connection in PL units
BC - Broadcast Code - code used to distinguish the cells sharing the same channel. It is used for synchronization of encoding and decoding too.
NC - National Code - code used to distinguish the neworks using the same channel. Most important near the network-borders
Cnnnnn - identification number of the cell (dec.)
Hnn - number of handovers (cell changes during the connection) since switching on the phone
fnn - number of unsuccessful handovers since switching on the phone
1 - (in lower left corner) - number of backup cell
NC - terminal is not connected with this cell (just monitoring incoming signal)
SYNC - the cell is in the area, where terminal is now registered in (otherwise nothing is displayed)

Meanings of other abbreviations are the same, as on the actual cell.

WOW what a fast reply, I really can't possibly describe how thankfull I am...

Keep up with the good work... ;)


As for my questions, you said that a Data Cable will be perfect can u please elaborate on that and explain to me why is it better to use a Data Cable rather than the Infrared Port ???

If I buy an Infrared-USB connector and use the EasyGPRS program will I be able to upload the Java Games & Ringtones into the phone ???

Last question which I forgot to ask it how much memory does the Samsung C100 have and aproximatly how many Java applets can I upload ???

Ringtones can be uploaded by either data cable or infrared but java applets have to download via wap,but I could be wrong.
