diagnosics menu - Focus General

i just got a samsung focus yesterday and i unlocked it via fastgsm to use that i had to get the phone in Diagnostic Mode i now see the diagnosics in the main menu is there a way to turn it off so i dont see that.

Yes sir, put ur finger on the tile while viewing the app list until sub menu pops up. Select "uninstall" and presto, you don't see it any more.

ok thanks. if i ever need to get that mode back is it going to be gone for good if do this?

##634# on the dialpad and it should reappear... its just test mode... theres a nice diagnosis codes thread here... have a read its cool...

ok thanks for all the help now if i could just get mms working i would be set.

Theres a tool for that , its in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606 you'll have to look for it though , it might be the rtt

Strange question about open touch 5.3 biggy

Okay, so I have a weird issue, and I've been searching and searching all day here at work, and can't find any info on it. When I flashed to Open Touch 5.3 biggy, everything worked great. ....but, after a soft reset, I noticed something changed. When I first loaded the os, I could go to Start, and then select programs and it would tile out to the right. Now, after the reset, when I select start, and programs, it goes to the big icons page, but doesn't tile out to the right. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right, but you could see how it's hard to even look up info on how to change it back so menu's will tile over. Any help would be appreciated.
The Program that Allows for the menu style Start menu is Called Quick Menu Look for it in your windows folder. when click on it there it open. then look for the "quick menu" item and click option. check your settings there and make sure it is set up to start on system start.
Hope that helps

Man, this is driving me insane. Quick menu is in the startup folder, and when I run the program, and look at the options, it is checked to start when system starts....but every time it goes back to the normal icon page. Even after a restart, it does the same thing. What could I be doing wrong??? Ahhhhh!
I don't know if this makes a difference, but I do have HTC Home Customizer installed.
Did you noticed if "replace system's start-menu" was checked or not... might want to also check it see if "register win key of device" is checked also...
if that doesn't work might want to try and reinstall the program again.

Yeah, I tried all those, and made sure everything was selected. I read somewhere about some weird issues with batterystatus and quickmenu. I think if you have the processor speed selected to show, somehow this messed with quickmenu. I ended up flashing back to a different rom and it works fine. It was just strange though.

Android_Secret_Code String Revealed!

Hell yes!
After a few hours trying to uncover the dialing code string for the Fascinate, I finally figured it out!
I've dug into *almost* all the AndroidManifest.xmls to compose a list of hidden menus you can gain access to.
I shouldn't have to say it, but I will..
I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.
Play with these things at your own risk.
Even if I said it's been tested by me and confirmed to work.
It's not my fault if your phone takes a crap on you.
Make a backup of your phone.
I will be doing some more testing and will uncover more hidden menus, but this is what I have for now..
Some members of another forum where having trouble using these codes and I've discovered that you need Hiddenmenu enabled. To enable Hiddenmenu, do the following:
Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.
Now you can use these codes.
The dialing code string you have to use is *##
Here are some things you can gain access to
Audio Tuning
*#28346#
Several audio tuning menus.
I've only tested the two items below:
To silence boot and shutdown audio go to Situation/BOOTSOUND and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.
To silence the volume key audio when turning the volume up/down go to Situation/VOLUMEKEY and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.
Full Bat Popup
*#3844228#
This allows you to disable the full battery pop-up.
I have tested this and it works successfully.
HwCodec
*#0002*28346#
Audio path volume controls. Most importantly, it looks like there's a sidetone adjustment.
I have not tested any of these items yet.
Shutdown
*#7594#
This enables you to shut your phone off by long-pressing the power/lock key.
No more pop-up confirmation.
I have tested this and it works successfully.
I also need to point out that this disables your slide lock screen.
Diag/Testing Mode
*#4636*1111#
Does this allow us to change intricate GPS settings, ala the "GPS fixes" for the earlier Galaxy S models?
Or is that not an issue with the Fascinate?

This isn't working for me. Nothing happens after I do this.
I enter the first string, press home, press dialer, the first string is still there and I enter the second string. Nothing happens.

You can gain access to a GPSSetup menu using this short code-
*#1472365#
The settings are set to the "fixed" values by default.
You don't need to change anything.
You can go into Command and then start GPS and force a satellite lock.
There's other cool info there too.

After pressing Home and entering back into the dialing, clear the first code and enter the second.

If your enable this, it appears to not only shutdown your phone with a long press of the power key, but it also disables your lock screen (puzzle/glass screen).

It looks like the message goes away, but the screen still turns on when the battery is full. I love how bright the screen is, but even at the lowest setting this phone can light up an entire room.
Thank you SO much for including the "disable battery full popup". That thing was annoying as HELL!
Bummer that it turns on the screen, still. Also, I agree that the screen is extremely bright, even with "night mode" in the Desk Cradle app. I'd like it if I could decrease the "minimum brightness" value even more, so I could use this phone + cradle as my alarm clock replacement.
Way to go egg_head!

Updated above info. Wherever instructed to enter an SPC code, dial 000000. The differs from Sprint customers who have to enter an MSL code, which they typically don't have.
The code to change the voice codec EVRC to EVRC-B has been found. Just follow the directions below. If it dials the code you entered then you need to follow the steps in the first post to enable the secret menus.
Open the dialer then press
**772
SPC code 000000
The bottom of the screen will have buttons that are directional like a d-pad.
Press down until you see:
SVC Mode NAM1
End of BASIC NAM
Exit
Press right once you will see EXIT change to MORE
Hit enter
Press Down once and you will See
HomePage VoiceSO
EVRC
Push right button to change to EVRC-B
Hit OK Phone will reboot
I made a few calls after this and was told by everyone that the quality was so much better.
WARNING!!!!
THIS COMMAND
"##GPSCLRX# - Reset the GPS - (Verizon customers: whenever prompted for SPC enter 000000)"
FORCES THE SAMSUNG MOMENT TO LOOP RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES UNTIL IT FINALLY REBOOTS THE PHONE.
I HAVE TESTED THIS, AND WENT TO SPRINT STORE, WHERE THEY JUST REPLACED THE PHONE
I'm not sure what it would do with the fascinate...
I have used the hidden gps menu alot, but when i tried the "##GPSCLRX# command it made the Samsung loop restart, it would reboot itself for 5 or 10 minutes before finally booting to home screen
I read on another forum (don't remember which one) that it clears the GPS then functions as i said above, the posters fix was to boot to recovery and restore phone to factory defaults.
i was unable to boot to recovery using his key sequence (volume down, power key and camera simultaneously)
I want use the secret menus, but am having issues with the first steps. I am supposed to go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then home, then after entering *#22745927 do I do something else bc nothing cues me to enter SPC code??
Thanks!
Here is what you do. You enter the first code, then go home. Back to the dialer and delete the first code then enter the second. after that a screen pops up asking for the password or whatever it is then enter 000000. after that start entering whatever codes you want. It confused me too at first.
On android 2.2, there is listing for mms provisioning in ##DATA#. It asks for the lock code. I tried the SPC but it does not work. I also tried other possible lock codes. What could be the lock code?
##DATA#
MMS provisioning Lock Code = 500667
Hey guys, the hidden menues don't really work after 2.2. I remembered that TSM parts in the COMRom had it already accessable though.
You can also read this link. I have not verified it yet but looks to take care of your full battery pop up issue.

Disable Lock Screen
Hey I was wondering if you were able to get this to work...I upgraded the software the other morning and now no app bypasses the lock screen...I use NoLED as well, and if I can get the lock disabled and be able to use NoLED I would be golden, for some reason that whole lock thing just pisses me off ;o)
I went to the dialer punched in the codes to unhide the menu, I assume all I have to do is hit send? Didnt work... am I missing something?

Use at your own risk and backup your phone first, then you can try the below which worked for me.
To disable it without using an app or rooting your phone, you can enable the Hidden menu by doing the following:
Go into the Phone dialer and enter *#83786633
Press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer and remove the previous numbers
Enter *#22745927
A menu box will prompt for the SPC code. Enter: 000000
Press the Hidden Menu Enable radio button.
Now you can use the below codes to do the following:
Disable Full Bat Popup:
*#3844228#
This allows you to disable the full battery pop-up.
Enable quick Shutdown and disable swipe screen:
*#7594#
Disables your slide lock screen completely.
This enables you to shut your phone off by long-pressing the power/lock key.
By-passing the pop-up confirmation and mode selection.
Again, do so at your own risk... Done this twice successfully on 2 separate Fascinate phones.
Why? There are threads and websites and blogs listing this stuff already. Pointless post.

I can only access *#*#4636#*#*, no others?
I can only access *#*#4636#*#*, no others?

I gather the codes up and put them in one thread I thought might make it easier on the ones looking for them if you got a problem with don't open the thread!!!!
No dice on any key combo I've tried. I found in another forum for different phone that cm7 doesn't work with these codes.

small Google Bug I noticed

Ok people tested this with another person and he confirmed also.
1)Make sure advance calling is off
2) Activate developer options if u havent already done so.
3) find windows transitions and change to off for all three
4) clear all left open windows using the far bottom right button
5) Go to dailer and see the keypad gone.
Any ideas why this would be? and for me the only way to get back is changing the transistion back to .5 for all three and clearing all the windows again. Its odd. i didn't try with advance calling because advance calling is still alpha stage in my opinion.

I'm not sure it can be called a bug when developer options are merely for developer testing and development scenarios. Its not being used as intended, so unexpected results show up occasionally.

Your display is bad. I had the same issue. You have to send it in. If you push on the g of the Samsung logo on the top of your screen it should go away for a little but then it will come back.

Go to /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu using root Explorer and edit the file and change OFF to ON and the code will work
