The remote key one
is absolute bollocks. It's just plain nonsense.

But the battery power one may sort of work on some Nokia phones because, as I remember it, that code toggles enhanced data-rate operation. It's not that it finds some reserve of power in the battery, it's just that the phone uses a little less power to operate, and may work for a short period on the remaining charge.

However, if you didn't have EDR operation turned on, and phones ship with it turned off by default, then entering that code will switch it on, not off, which uses about 5% more battery power.

1 and 4 are true though.
