Here's your one-stop thread on everything to do with your k750i phone:
--------------------------------------------------
Advanced camera usage
--------------------------------------------------
1 = Opens menu with "picture size" ready to select
4 = Toggles Macro mode (for close up photos)
7 = Toggels Night mode
* = Toggles Light (I also find this is the fastest way to use the light as a torch in the dark)
0 = While in video mode toggles length of recording.
Mute camera sounds; Before opening the lense cover hold # to toggle between silent mode easially.
Change brightness =
--------------------------------------------------
Secret Menus / Codes
--------------------------------------------------
Service menu = >*Lock status = IMEI number = *#06#
Access contacts on sim card = Any nubmer then # (e.g. 9# to go to 9th entry on sim card.)
Phone status = Either volume button
--------------------------------------------------
Free Downloads / Software

Don't Drain The Battery
--------------------------------------------------
With Lithium batteries there is no advantage to draining the battery. The battery will infact last longer with partial rather than full discharges. There is no battery memory effect with a lithium battery - you can charge the battery whenever you like without fear of reducing its charge capacity, and you do not need to drain a lithium battery completely before recharging it.
Find out more about Lithium batteries here:

In response to lots of questions about the battery, I've explained things in greater detail on page 4 of this thread.
--------------------------------------------------
Remote Control
--------------------------------------------------
I only just discovered what the remote control application is capable of, so I think this is worth a mention for those of you that might have thought nothing of it... I've used the SE developer tools to customize a remote for winamp, easier to use than windows notepad! I've also made a shortcut pointing to C:/WINDOWS/system32/shutdown.exe -s -t 5 -c "K750i Bluetooth remote command" which is a network command to shut down the computer after 5 seconds. If you put the shortcut in the start menu somewhere, you can assign a shortcut key to execute it e.g. CTRL+ALT+0. Which in turn you can program your remote to use on one of it's buttons.
--------------------------------------------------
I'll update this heading post with more power user features as I discover them or as you guys post them below. Thanks.

You can change track in the mediplayer when you are in the minimized (and locked) mode.
Just keep the volume button pressed either down or up for a second and it will change track instead of volume.
If you press a short press first it will not allow you to change track for a couple of seconds and just change volume...
Amazing telephone! Love it!

Quote:View contacts on sim card = 9 then #
It's actually any number + #. If you press 5 and then # it'll take you to the 5th number on SIM card. If you press 0 and # it ought to take you to the phone's contact list.

So for silent camera mode you first hold # to get the phone to go silent and then open the camera?
That doesn't seem to work for me.

Just a suggestion, since FMA doesn't quite work with the k750 yet, I'd remove it from the list, just so it doesn't frustrate people when they try and get it working. Just my 2 cents. Outside of that, great compilation of tips and tricks!

FMA works perfectly fine with my K750i, however, I cant get to turn off the sound for the camera even if I set the phone to silent.
