yes, tested, it is true. show up a testing menu.

It appears to bring up a test menu to test things like the screen and the camera.

I have entered in Service Mode... Anyone knows how can I increase the speaker volume? Only to listen music, radio and videos. There is many sub-menus, and i don't know what menu choice, or that value input...
PD.: My english is too bad, i know, sorry!!!!

*#06# - imei number

Is there a webpage that lists all the available menus?

This may be really stupid, but I see that the phone is set to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
Does this mean that this thing may work with say Sprint's CDMA network, if I plug in a Sprint SIM?
I read somewhere that the radio supports both GSM and CDMA (although it doesn't mean it has an antenna for both).

I don't think so that chip is 'dual'.
(and there is no list for this options)

Hm, when I enter the service menu as posted above, I get a whole bunch of options, some say CDMA Only, some GSM only. Mine is set at GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
For a brief description of the menus, see this:

Anyway, it would be too good to be true

This specific menu does not work with this phone.

[Q] "3g only" mode is possible in U8800?

Hello ! What about adding this option to our phone? Thanks!

it is already possible even in stock condition
1) go to your dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
2) hidden menu will appear, tap Phone information
3) scroll the page down and look for preferred network type:
4) select wcdma only and you will have 3g only

Its good , but having this option in main menu is better , isn't it? I think if this option present in hidden menu , we may add it ti main?

Not sure how you can add it to the main menu.
But u can simplifies the above steps by using Anycut to create a shortcut to "Phone Info" so that the "3g only" setting is only 2 taps away from home screen
good luck

l *#*#4630#*#* didnt work for me
i got it to work its *#*#4636#*#*

Thanks for the correction, had a typo

Unfortunately i live in an area that only has 2G reception unless you're with telstra but I'm not so i cant connect to 3G and test it out

[Q] can we turn off lte?

I keep seeing in reviews that they get much better battery life in hspa+ mode and when they turn on lte battery suffers etc
So can we turn off lte??

Yes, you can.
Here's from Sean's SKYICS.
It's on Page # 3, Look for APNs just do *#2263# choose WCDMA instead of LTE, , I just tried mine and voila, :victory:

Doesn't work. Brings up an option that says "RAT Selection Option is restricted" I can't select anything or make any changes (it also doesn't give an option for Cellular type" looks like AT&T locked it down again.)

It doesn't work and even if it works upon reboot you will have LTE again

Did you take the SIM card out before you do that ? It won't work with the SIM in.

It should stay here's how.
With the SIM card remove Dial *#2263# select WCDMA, select All, then bottom left haptic button select end and reboot with the SIM card in
I mean don't do the next step (Open dialer again.Dial *#2263# select automatic)

maybe this could be a project for the devs that allow us to simply enable and disable using radio buttons or something.
anyone know if it's possible?

Yes it is possible but we'll have to be patient.

Does it drain battery even if you are not in an LTE supplied area?

1.Click on Menu button and go to Settings.
2. Go to "More....", once in, click on "Mobile Networks"
3. Go to "Access Point Names"
4. Once in you will see "AT&T PTA" with a radial button as your only option. This is the default gateway.
5. Click on Menu button below, and you will have two choices, "New APN" or "Reset to default" click on New APN.
You will see a series of lines under "Edit Access Point" and click on "APN" and enter as follows "wap.cingular"
If you like you can rename the "Name" to whatever you like...I used "AT&T HSPA+"
Click "Save"
This will give you access to HSPA+ network only. I found this info online for the Galaxy SIII with ICS coming stock. This is an ICS only option I believe, I don't recall cause I dumped the Gingerbread 2.3.6 cause it was burning up batteries like crazy.
Please be advised I have the Galaxy SII Skyrocket, they are building the LTE network in my area as we speak and I was getting all sorts of interference from their testing and upgrades so until its complete I'm running HSPA+ only and the problems went away.
Hope this helps!

That might work. But it will not turn off the LTE radio, the phone will still have LTE on but will connect to the slower internet. LTE remains on=battery drain is on.

2g/3g/2g+3g = how to have a choice?

Good afternoon.
could you tell me if there is a solution to have the choice to stay on the 3G network and not only on the 2 (2G/3G)? because when I had my gs3, I stayed more on the 3g when I chose the option 3g only. thank you.

CM 10 has this feature as a quick toggle (link to ROM dev thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020859).

Go to the dialer. Type *#*#4636#*#*
Choose: Phone Information
Scroll down and change "WCDMA Preferred" to "WCDMA only"
No more 2G. Until your reboot. Then you'll have to do those steps again.

Or you can go to the dialer -> then type in *#*#4636#*#* -> then choose phone info, next, scroll down and you'll see a rectangular box that has "WCDMA Preferred". Click on that, a list of options would then appear.
2G only=GSM Only
3g only=WCDMA Only
2g + 3g=WCDMA Preferred or GSM/WCDMA (Auto)

thank you all for your tip, but I did not really want to install a cyanogen rom on my vanilla because rootbox suits me very well and the thing * # * # 4636 # * # * I already knew, but just the fact of power on / off connection ensures that the default setting revert ...

SOLVED how can i tell if my g900p is domestic unlocked?

i did the idoneapps thing, and it said it was successful but my imei is still under financial obligation until april. I know that theres a *#0011# menu that gets you to a place via sub menu selections that tells you, but i have scoured the threads and cant find it. any help would be nice

Easiest way would be to use a SIM from another carrier and see if it works.

it wont work because my IMEI has a financial obligation tied to it still

its actually this
*#0011#
hit the upper right menu button, select key input, and type a capital Q, then ok. then menu again, key input type in 4 zeros "0000" and hit ok. Menu again and hit the back selection, menu again and hit the back selection. It can take up to 30 seconds for it to give you the next menu and you may need to repeat that process, but once the menu is up, make the following selections.
[1] Protocol State
[5] Sim Information
[3] Check NV
the bottom 2 lines should read as follows
SPR BIP Unblocked
sim lock is disable
