I've got secrets to tell you (Dialer Codes)

[ciper]

Here are some working Dialer codes. You can use these on unrooted phones. If you know of any extra please post them as well. I originally wrote these on another forum but that forum died so Im copy and pasting here

Copy the kernel logs to your SD card (helpful on unrooted phones)
*#9900#

Battery voltage and charge amperage. The temperature is the real raw value from 0-255, realize that all the temp readings you see on your phone are about 30C low
*#0228#

Hidden Menu Enabler. This is supposed to allow you to access new menus but all of the known hidden menus I have tried crashed. (Needs SPC)
*#22745927

LCD Test which includes the proximity sensor and the camera among other things
*#0*#

Debug Menu has many diagnostic and settingsincluding another way to switch between CDMA and LTE mode (Needs SPC)
**33284

Serial connection Mode. If you put it into USB-LTE mode then the computer doesnt see it. USB-Modem makes a new device show up on the computer which has no drivers
**87284

DataCreate shows the number of calls (sent receive missed) and messages
*#3282*727336*#

RTN shows information like total data transfered, original activation date and other stats
##786#

GPS reset (Needs SPC)
##4772579#

I had forgot that another thread had some of these


##data# or ##3282# Is mentioned here but I wanted to cover its other uses

Everything requires your SPC except viewing your username. Mine was "0000000016@aaai.mymetropcs.com" which sounds like a placeholder rather than real data

Restore It will say the phone will be restored and ask to restart. I believe its a factory reset option

Enable HFA Potentially harmful. Its for configuring your phone over the air and I've seen some other phones needing a factory reset if it doesnt work.

DSA Server crashes the phone process

MMS provisioning seems to use a different password. I cant get into it using the SPC or the MSL

Multimedia crashes the phone process

Browser shows the proxy address that we all know

FOTA stands for Firmware Over The Air

Access Point Name can be blank but if you press menu you get the options for "new apn" "Reset to default" and "Exit." When choosing exit the phone will reboot. If you pick New APN you get a list of about 20 items to configure. It will not let you exit without entering a name.

Yeah, ciper! I see you stealing my thread!!! LOL
Anyways, I just wish they'd stickied it. But it doesn't seem to get enough traffic to warrant it.
Sad.

 

[ciper]

I swear I forgot your thread existed until afterwards. I did link it at the top of my first reply though

I think the only real interesting item I found was the kernel log copier.

 

[tiede]

Yeah, I didn't know that one either... Good find!
And funny thing is, I credit you in my thread too!
It's a small revolving world... hehehe

Anyone try that bit about resetting the GPS? If not, I think I will try that. As noted here, I have been having a hell of a time with my GPS...

Resetting GPS solved my problems with it taking forever (if ever) for my coordinates to appear.

On this menu, I noticed it shows "Life timer / calls" & shows the Total Call Time as well as the Total Call Count.

I also noticed upon before entering this screen that it gives the option to View, which shows info like your picture.

And it also gives the option to Reset.. would that clear the "Life time / calls" counter perhaps?? I'm afraid to touch it tbh.

[tiede]

I'm thinking it would reset the call counts number, but the timer would stay intact. Lifetime calls on cellphones are notoriously sticky to get rid of (what with nv flashing and what not)!

For the MMS provisioning... I tried many codes to no avail until I tried the common lock code for dumb phones... last 4 of the phone number. That worked... but the process crashed.

Just out of curiosity - will any of these setting make it so the phone charges like it is on AC even when connected to USB.

No because computer usb outlets provide at most 500ma of power and most providing less than that. The chargers provide 700ma.

Hi! I have a Samsung Stratosphere that got wet. Now my phone will not charge the battery (works fine as long as the battery has charge on it) it thinks my battery temperature is too low. I have been reading on other forums that there is a way to change the battery settings to get around this, but when I enter the code to do so, as follows...

step 1. *#197328640#
step 2. [9] common
step 3. [1] Batt, Temp
-> next to Batt temp ADC it said 254 for me. Obviously it's incorrect, I think the sensor for the battery temp somehow messed up. Take note of that number.
step 4. Go back to the main menu and select [2] Version Information
step 5. [4] Charging Temperature
step 6. I changed [1] high stop to 255.
and [2] high recover to 254.


I do not have an option 9. I can find my average temperature, but no way to change it. My SPC code was 000000 and I think I saw this same code on another phone for other forums. (I had to enable the menus before I could get any of the codes to work - makes sense.) Does anyone know how to do this specifically on the statusphere?

Excellent post thanks for the information. I only knew a couple of them.
