Nokia Lifetimer is a counter that keeps track of the Total call time of your phone. It will show how much the phone has been used, and it’s the best thing to check if you’re planning to buy a used Nokia Mobile.
To see the Total Call Time or the Lifetimer counter, On the standby screen type the following code
*#92702689#
(Easy way to remember this is - *#war0anty#)
And it will pop up a message that shows the lifetimer in hours and minutes.
Now Comes the Interesting Part
Like myself, you might have wondered whether its possible to reset the Lifetimer of a Newer Nokia Mobile. Yes, Of course it needs advanced software’s and dongles such as JAF, UFS, ?
Not really, now with Nemesis Service Suite (NSS) you can do this at home on your own PC with a standard data cable that comes in the package.
I have tried this, and this worked perfectly with my own Nokia N73 and with Nokia N95,and a N95 8GB.
Forums around the cyberspace have confirmed that this works with Nokia 6630, 6680, 5500 sport, 5700XM, 6110 Navigator, 6120 Classic, N70, N72, N73, E50, E51, E61i, E65, N80, N91, N95, N95 8GB Mobile devices.
However a friend of mine, Chathika said that after he reset the lifetimer on his own Nokia N95 8GB, he had noticed that the lifetimer is running slower than the normal speed. Kinda cool if you don’t want your lifetimer going high..
So , if you are willing to try this, Follow the below procedure
