No all settings

All,
Couldn't find anything about this searching this forum and Google. We have an HTC HD2 from Vodafone. At first glance the only thing Vodafone has changed seems to be the boot screen...
But it seems they changed some other things to. First snag I ran into is turning off Sense. You are supposed to go to "Settings --> All settings --> Today". Now comes the problem. Appearantly in this dutch version there is no "all settings, only "other settings"". Checked all the settings options, but there is no today in there anywhere.
So I found the registry hack on this forum to display hidden settings. Performed the hack, resetted the phone and.... nothing. No change at all.
I'm stumped...
Any of you know how to open the Today settings via a file explorer or something. Would be much appreciated

on the settings screen, press menu and there you will find 'all settings'

Fascinate Diag Mode

Hi does anyone here know how to get into diagnostics mode with the Fascinate?
I've tried searching everywhere and using the codes for the Epic and other Galaxy S phones but it doesn't work.
If anyone out here knows it, let me know thanks!

I know this is accessible by way of creating shortcuts directly to the various actions but I thought I would share this for anyone interested.
To access the hidden menus from the dialer:
• Open the dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
• Open the dialer again (clear previously entry if it is still present) enter *#22745927
• Enter the SPC 000000 then enable Hidden Menu
Now you can enter Service Mode by entering **772

That is the manual programming screen for the phone.
It's used for programming the handset in the event that OTA programming is not available.
The usual diagnostic mode dialing code on Androids is *#*#4636#*#*.
That dialing pattern works on my Droid 1 and HTC Incredible.
This changed with the Fascinate (maybe Samsungs in general- I haven't checked).
Someone needs to find the dialing form (eg *#*#<code>#*#*) that the secret codes are in.
I'm sure it's somewhere in the phone. I just don't know where to look.
I have a separate thread created asking for help find it.
The thread is called ' Sidetone - Need android_secret_code to access menu'

The diag. code for the Fascinate is *#0*#

you can check **33284

i usually use **USBUI (**87284) and it works i nut phone in modem then qpst find the phone and i do what i need to off that screen !

Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks
Enable Dial up Networking (Note: Be sure to disable this after flash has been performed)
Next..
Menu > Settings > Applications > Development
Enable USB Debugging
-------------------------------------------
If Dial-up Networking is not showing perform the following. Dial **33284 followed by SPC (000000 or 468346 ) then scroll to Port Map and select HFK,DIAG. Once this is complete, you should now have Dial-up Networking showing up under Wireless and Network.
Bypass Activation:
Press "Emergency Call"
Dial *#83786633 then press send
After you press "send" press the "home" key and you should now be passed activation
-------------------------------------------
Or (**87284)

+1, I was going to say this as well. Did some googling the other day and found this. Change USB from pda to modem.
I did this and was able to access phone in QPST to fix.

Owner ID

This is an easy question for some of you guys but I cant solve it,I have installed SPB mobile shell v3.5.5 and need to type in my owner id but can't find where to.I have looked everywhere.Do I have to do a hard reset and use contacts and "Me" then reinstall all my info or is there an easy way
Heres hoping.
Don

Hi Don, I had this exact issue and firstly it is possible, I did it.
Secondly I may not have done it the slickest of methods but at least this gets you there. I've tried to recall two routes depending upon where you are starting from.
a) HTC Sense UI:
If you are still in the original UI (HTC Sense) scroll sideways to the "Setting" tab. Touch the "Menu" softkey (bottom right) then "All Settings". You should then see a selection of icons from which touch "Today". That will get you to the old Today settings. See below for next steps.
b) SPB Mobile shell UI
If you are in this shell instead, hit "Launcher". You should now see an icon labled "Settings" (else swipe sideways to the second page to see it). Hit that takes you to a screen with more icons including one for "Today" with a cogwheel on the top of it. Hit that takes you to the old Today settings. Now see below.
Today Settings
Once here. Hit the "Items" tab. Remove any tick on the "HTC Sense" option (else the originally Today Screen won't appear later) and then tick the "Owner Info" option (and any others you fancy). Click on "OK" should now get you back to the old Today screen with the "Owner Info" today plugin showing. It can then be selected and the necessary info add. You can then go back into the today settings and re-tick the HTC Sense item if you want the original UI back and not the Today screen. Personally I use the SPB shell and the today screen rather than the HTC Sense.
I did this a long time ago so my recall may be a bit fuzzy for example; if the "Owner Info" isn't visible in the list of Items in the Today settings (it may not be) then you'll have to go into a reg editor (if you are comfortable doing such things) and navigate to :
[Mobile Device\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\]
Then ensure that the key "Owner Info" is present (add if necessary) and enable it (disabling "HTC Sense" at the same time as it seems to overide any other selection). If the key is missing (or you don't have a reg editor) and you need help at this level just drop me a line and I'll post a copy of my settings and suggest a few methods of accessing your registry.
Good luck.
Anybody found an easir way?

settings - menu - all settings - personal - owner

Sam,
Thanks but my phone doesn't have "owner" at the end of your sequence. I suspect Don is having the same issue (hence me originally having to go into the reg to get access to it to fix mine as nothing obvious was accessible). FYI this is independent of how I get there (through HTC Sense, SPB Shell etc).
Regards - Mallow1
PS I have an unlocked HD2 (none carrier specific) which looks to have originally been packaged for the German market (I'm in the UK and bought it online)

Just to add ti the conversation, my HD2 does not have the Owner when Igo to Personal either.

Ahh course, my mistake.
Hints tips reg tweaks sticky in Q&A section, tip 5 to unhide that option kindly hidden by HTC.

Thanks Mallow1 That did it,thank you all very much.I went to Today ,items and ticked HTC sense that gave me the chance to go to contacts and add the Me details.

Need the Phone Info

Well guys i need to enter in Phone Information, error with Apps and from dialer cant enter in "4636" code.

It's far from clear what you are asking - your question is vague and might be talking about a number of things. Try phrasing it differently or at least elaborate more and someone should be able to help you.
Dialer codes are not intended for end users and only work on certain models and firmware versions. A lot of dialer codes will work if entered from a terminal window rather than the keypad. Or look for a Play store app instead e.g. this or this.

- If you mean you want to get important info about your device, try Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.
- If you mean about secret codes *#*#4636#*#*, install Shortcut Master app. You can launch this code by one of the following ways:
a) Open menu 'Secret Code Explorer', scroll down to 4636 and tap to launch it. Here you can find many secret codes available for your device, e.g. *#0*#, *#12580*369#, *#1234#, etc...
b) OR open menu Search, enter the 'testingsetting' to search. Finally tap on the search result to launch. You can also create a shortcut for easy access later.

The only app that works is Shortcut Master, [email protected]
The others apps says that my S5 don't have API for this.

Help: Trying To Edit XML - So Touch In A "Settings" Section Does Nothing?

I have 3 sections in the "Phone > Settings > Advanced" that I am trying to disable, so when you touch them nothing happens, they originally opened up a new section, but I uninstalled the application related to these sections, now it gives a popup error message, so I want these sections to no longer respond to touch.
I read online and tried these 2 in the XML with no luck;
android:shouldDisableView="True"
android:clickable="true"
I'm not sure if android:focusable="false" is of any help...
The code tags seems to mash everything together on XDA, so I pasted the code on dpaste.com
I've attached a screen shot showing this "Advanced" section and the 3 sections I am trying to disable so nothing happens when I touch them;
"OnePlus Notifications is disabled"
"User experience program is disabled"
"System stability program is disabled"
res/xml/op_other_settings.xml seems to be related to the "Advanced" section;
http://dpaste.com/3DRVXR4#wrap
res/layout/op_receive_notifications.xml seems to be related to the "OnePlus Notifications" section;
http://dpaste.com/0J0JP7X#wrap
res/layout/op_user_experience.xml seems to be related to the "User experience program"
http://dpaste.com/37WEGCN#wrap
res/layout/op_system_stability.xml seems to be related to the "System stability program"
http://dpaste.com/2TG6E4E#wrap
I've been assuming for now, that in these 3 res/layout xml files I needed to add in something so these sections get disabled?
P.S. This is the last thing I've tried that does nothing; (with android:clickable="true" added in 3 times)
res/layout/op_receive_notifications.xml
http://dpaste.com/1MAHAT9#wrap

P.S. Don't need any replies, the orginal problem I was having was related to WebView, so I was looking at something I was doing as a solution around this, of course no one is going to understand this just by this reply, bottom line, I found a solution to this, so it's all good!
