We do have a non volatile card based time backups. My cell Nokia 6670 has never asked if u replace the SIM/battery for some 15 mins. If you took longer than that it will ask. As well if you are replacing the memory card; even within one minute it will ask for the new time.
We ofcourse do have time updating services from the Service Provider but most of the time it lags beyond our time

Hi Mushq,
how old is your Nokia 6600 phone?
I had same the same issue on 3 nokia phones i owned.
I can remeber that at the beginning it worked fine when I changed
the sim in my phone. I had to remove the storage battery but it had still power supply
to keep the time in RAM.
But within a year it stopped working. Maybe a little internal battery or something ran out of power.
Had this problem on my old Nokia 3330, N-Gage an now on my N70.
One hint from me.
Switching the sim within 3 seconds worked on my N-Gage, no re-enter of the time was needed. 
Don't know if it still works.
regards pdluke

The obvious solution is to buy another phone. Just in case it wasn't immediately obvious, do NOT buy another phone just like the one you have.

How many times do you change the sim? jeez.

Exactly how difficult is it to just enter in the current time and move on with your day?

Well,
It seems you have same problems with me. I install some application "TimeSync" that always synchronize date and time with some server in internet every time i turn on my cellphone. It cost you a penny because you must using GPRS when synchronizing.
The bad side is,TimeSync runs on Windows Mobil cellphone, but i think there's similar application that run on symbian.

This exactly depends on how they designed the hardware. In some case, the volatile information is stored in something like CMOS as in the case of PC. In other cases, the information is not considered crucial and handled over to user input, as it happens in your handset.
This all is stored in HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) or beyond. And you have virtually no mean to reach there, especially in case of low profile controller devices like handsets. Java and other languages stand on builtin OS. They can't reach therein.

Hello -
I'm working on a program that scans files on a DVD created by our product (to calculate a CRC).
When using Windows Explorer to copy from the DVD (USB connection) to my C: drive, it takes about a minutes to copy a 1GB file.
My program, however, takes close to ten minutes to read the file (doing nothing else). The following snippet demonstrates the problem:
#define HEAP_SIZE 1000000 // 1,000,000 bytes
static BYTE g_buffer[HEAP_SIZE];
hFile = CreateFile( strThisFile, GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
while ( ReadFile( hFile, g_buffer, HEAP_SIZE, &nBytesRead, NULL))
{
++nNumberOfReads;
if ( nBytesRead == 0)
{
break;
}
}Same results are observed when g_buffer is created using HeapAlloc and with varying HEAP_SIZE values.
Any hints as to why I'm seeing this are appreciated!
Thanks.

Why do you make it hard on the system ?
- files get allocated by sectors and clusters on disk, these are all quantities that equal a power of 2. So a power of 10 for your HEAP_SIZE value is not so good.
- files get cached somehow (the file cache in RAM, and the data cache L1/L2/L3 inside or
close to the CPU chip); the hardware cache has limited size. So it probably is better to
reduce HEAP_SIZE.
I would suggest you try HEAP_SIZE values of 2^15 up to 2^18 (that's NOT C syntax !)
I expect you can get around 50 to 100 MB/s on an average system
And when organized well (two threads, ping-pong), CRC should be free.
Good luck.

The notion that the block size should be consistent with cluster sizes makes a lot of sense.
However, I tried several sizes (65536, 262140, 1MB, 4MB) all with the same (slow) results using the USB-connected DVD drive (advertised as a "16X").
I did notice something odd, though. Currently using a 4MB block size, I put a breakpoint in my loop and found that if I stepped the program (one or two ReadFile calls per second) that the drive motor sped up.
I added a Sleep(1000) in the loop and found that my read rate went from about 1MB/sec to 4MB/sec (along with increase in motor speed). It's as if blocking on ReadFile is slowing things down. So I may experiment with overlapped IO (new to me as I spend most of my time working on embedded systems stuff).
Thanks.

Hi,
I missed the "USB connection" in your first post. That will reduce the performance
you might hope to get to less than 40 MB/s. You should be able to reach whatever speed
Windows Explorer gives you when copying a file from DVD to HDD.
Have you tried using a FileStream ?
You could loop reading say 4KB from a FileStream and let Windows worry about the
opmization stuff, it is supposed to make the best of it...
But then, the motor speed observations are surprising. I am not familiar with DVD on USB;
I expect an optical drive to contain a cache capable of holding a couple of tracks, and to preread one track; so if you can transfer a track as fast as the disk rotates I dont
expect particular sounds...

Haven't tried FileStream yet.
I did stumble on an interesting item: I changed my call to CreateFile thus:
hFile = CreateFile( strThisFile, GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL | FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING, NULL);
The FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING flag had a dramatic affect - read speeds in the 18 MB/sec range (block size also makes some difference here).
Thanks for the suggestions - they're what got me thinking.
Regards.

Hi
CAn any body tell me how to detect the vendor id information from the usb device and
how can i know if drivers are installed for this attched usb device.
Is there any registry entry to be looked up or any device opening and messaging api need to look for.
Anybody has idea Please let me know?

Read in the MSDN about SetupAPI.txt (it is located in the Windows directory). You can set in the registry a flag so you would get a lot of information written in to SetupAPI.txt

i m doin engg in information systems
can smbdy help me to connect two computers and process them together i.e parallel processing i have two PCs bbtt hw to do this is strange to me if ne1 can suggest me what to study and hw to do it will be great!!!!!

if you speak in SMS you will get it in return.
I request all new posters to go through the posting manners and maintain the decorim of this community.
Coming back to your question it is highly vague if you just want to connect two PCs and do data sharing or a Higher level of data processing using parallel processors. Could you please be a bit more clear.
And before you get knocked hard refrain from using SMS

I am really sorry for using such short language, i was not aware of it. I don't want to disturb decorim of community.
Actually I want to connect two CPUs and process them together as single. Like Grid Computing.
I really don't understand from where to start for that i need some help.
Thank you sir, I assure you I try my best to maintain dignity of Forum.

As u r saying it looks you want to chopt down a process into various resorces. But could you please throw some more light on Connecting two CPUs. If you are speaking about grids it is not only based on connection and sharing of two CPUs by a same process but many other resources like bus, ram etc are utilized. Have u given a thought to this.
Also is it you want to build a cluster or a grid please get back to us with the above details.
And bro' it was good u learnt the lesson well. Now it is your duty to pass it on to others
