[Q] WTH Am I The Only One? DIAL UP Net - Fascinate General

Am I the only one without dial up networking? Has it moved? I go to settings > wireless & settings > Scroll to the bottom and Dial Up Networking option isn't there? It's been gone since froyo or so it seems? Anybody else can confirm this?

No it is removed in 2.2.1. instead now you have to dial **usbui. This will get you those settings

I don't have it either

Yeah..just figured it out...crafty bastards hid it...
1: Dial **33284
2: Enter 000000 for spc

Disable GSM!!!!

My old device was htc wizard. There was an option to disable gsm (phone) only. Is there any way to do this in g1? I just want to avoid calls and in the same time to use wifi. Airplane mode doesn't work for me, because it disables wifi too

Not quite the way you are accustomed to it, but there is a 'way' around it... you basically leave the phone on but you can turn on call forwarding... settings > call settings > call forwarding > always.
It doesn't turn the phone off but it won't ring either.
--M
i was wondering the same thing, there might come out with a fix for this in the next update.
demontefixo, i was using the same solution, but I hoped for real solution to disable GSM. Anyway I will just wait
PS: This device is amazing I'm so happy with it. I wasn't using windows on my computer and laptop, and now i am completely MS free
Install anycut and Create a Software to Hidden Application named Phone Info, their you can see the Phone or Radio disable type of option. I have Tried it
It can actuall disable Radio and keep the Wifi on, But i could not renable radio and must have to reboot the phone.
Through the same Phone Info shortcut you can enable it to use WCDMA only or just prefer WCDMA or use GSM only. I think that is what mony87 was looking for.
Or you can go to:
Settings
Mobile networks
Operator selection
If you only see T-Mobile then Search Networks.
Select a non subscribed Network like ATT
It will tell you you your SIM card does not allow a connection...
But if you don't re-select TMobile the Phone Connection will turn off.
To get your Phone Connection back, just select TMobile

I thought I had the same issue but you actually can re-enable the radio after you turn it off...it just takes a while...
Bring up the dialer, type in: *#*#INFO#*#*. Shouldn't need to hit enter. Scroll all the way down, and hit "Turn off radio".

In need of urgent help - PIN number

Ok so I dont know what happened. I installed this medaldetector app for my phpne. I installed it and ran it and then it sor of had a spaz attack. Had no idea to close it so I took the battery out. (This might have nothing to do with my issue) So when I started up my phone it asked me for a pin number. I never use a pin number and I do not recall turning the option on to use one. So now I cant call or txt or anything like that without the pin.
So I am really stumped. Help me out please.

try your sim card in a different phone and see if it asks for pin code. if it does, somehow pin verification got activated. you need to find the little card that came with your sim card which has the pin code and puk code. if you can't find it, call your operator, they will give you those. (puk code is used when you entered your pin code wrong 3 times) good luck.
Thanks alot... Helped
I have WinMo 6.5.5 on my phone and can't find where to turn off the Pin verification? Anyone know how to do this?
On your home screen, scroll accross to the end (Setings). Tap menu and press All Settings. Go to Personal and then to Phone. You should be able to disable it there.
Alternatively, you could just tap your top menu bar. There should be an icon for your service provider, just tap that and it should directly take you to the option you want.

Be Careful
Other forums advise that setting B as the default will mean that you will get NO call quality if you venture into an area where B is not yet supported.
Yeah tell me about it. I changed it to b and couldnt make a call. Must not be in a b supported area
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
So how do we find out what areas have B ?
Worked for me... worried now from posts above lol
This is from another forum, but it wont let me post links because i'm new
It is a good explanation. it's over on incredibleforum dot com thanks to luv2increase
EVRC-B is an advanced, new and better audio codec than regular EVRC. Verizon started rolling out EVRC-B in 2007. The people who have bad experiences with doing this settings change are either:
1) Not in an area of the country where EVRC-B has been implemented yet
or
2) A little too far or just on the outer edge of the EVRC-B range
For those within the viscinity of EVRC-B capable towers, we are "LUCKY"
Why are we lucky? Well, it is a "fact" that EVRC-B will allow better call quality. That is one of the reasons it was designed and implemented!
It was posted earlier, but here it is again just in case some of you didn't see it from page #2:
Enhanced Variable Rate Codec B - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I suggest everyone read that and to make the settings change. If you have worse quality or no reception, then just change it back. Apparently, Verizon hasn't made it to your area yet, unfortunately.
Thanks! Looks easy enough to roll back, just sent it to myself in an e-mail in case I find myself out of a covered area and need to switch back.
I would guess that ROAM would not normally qualify for this setting. So you might not set that one. That might elimitate the issues for most when in areas without the coverage.

depends on where your roaming and if that area has updated software. It doesn't hurt to have it on -b, if you end up in a roaming area and can't make calls it only takes a min to switch back.
When I do this I am no longer able to make calls out from my phone. I can receive and answer them, but I can't call anyone.
Sorry, I just read the posts about maybe not being in the area where "B" is covered. I guess I fall into that category.

Doesn't seem to work with CyanogenMod 6.0.2
I think it's because epst is only available on htc roms.

got my first call with it and def has some improvement. what im worried about is how much i travel and if that will effect my ability to make calls. if i dont change my roaming setting and leave it alone and drive about 50 miles away is that considered home is or is that roaming?
It doesn't work on AOSP ROMs, so if anyone wants to change those, flash a sense rom, change it and then go back to aosp.

diagnosics menu

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

Solution: Force 2G (better battery)

ok guys... I found this in another device forum related to wp7. I just got this LG Quantum yesterday so I'm learning as I go along.
I used the code ##3282# and hit dial.
This brought up some field test menu.
Don't choose anything from the menu, instead at the bottom hit the "..." and choose settings.
Then choose "Network Type", 2G. Its showing Edge for me now.
If you go back to the menu, it again shows "Automatic" but the setting seems to stick.
Report back to this thread if you see different results.
Still need to figure out:
- Persistent Wifi
- Peak / off Peak settings for Corporate Email.

Nicely done. I'm on a 2G network too. Good find!
The settings stick for you? Huh.. Every time I try that no matter what I pick, auto, 2g or 3g nothing happens..
Work perfectly thanks
Works for me too, thx for it.
The only thing is, it will be reset all the time. I don't really know why. No need to restart, it is reset to default "only 3G" without doing something.
Someone who knows why?
Regards.
