I can't help but wondering if this is for real. If you read the rest of the post on hackerz, it almost seems like the "long" presses have to be exactly 1.2 or 1.5 seconds. Either that, or the spacing between the presses needs to be. In any case, I can just see the phone of watching people all over trying this when it's completely bogus. The problem is, though, if it's not it's incredibly useful -- and fun. And yeah, I'll have to try it. ;)

The most popular hack, which works on most models, is the "Instant Walk." Three short clicks, followed by two long, one short, two long, and three short; turn any crosswalk signal from "don't walk" to "walk" with a matching change in the traffic signals.
