[Q] Having a problem with the free unlock . Service Mode: Limited - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey I am having an issue with the free unlock for my Fido S4 running 4.2.2 . It isn't rooted to my knowledge but when I go through the first step of dialing the *#0011# And theni press menu back, menu key input 1, then press menu back... I don't get booted into the UMTS Main Menu. Nothing happens. I did look at the screen shots for the free unlock guide and i think the main difference in where is says service mine says 'Service: Limited" instead of "Service :Active" . Has anyone else run into this problem? Or does anyone know why my phone would say "Service: Limited"?
Here is a screen shot. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure which I'm on. Here is screen shot.

To b honest brotha I would call your service provider and try n get the unlock code or pay for it online b4 attempting the free unlock method.I had success with my phone cause it was a i337 s4 on MDL base.I m on twilight Rom now and that's why it says "sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium"

After you press menu key input and enter 1 press OK and just wait a few seconds. You don't press menu back after entering the 1

During call..how to goto main menu

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
by pressing the middle (menu) button
No it does not wrk..if m on call n want to see any contact then wat exactly i shud do?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Press the home button. Then the phone call continues but it will be in the notification bar and it will show your home screen.
If this doesn't work for you then it's really too bad as it's the only way.

I cannot leave the call screen on rooted 24. Pressing menu either does nothing or disconnects the call.
And what is the deal with the screen living? It is just seconds.
On a call related issue, anyone else ever get the phone ring but no way to answer it? It has done this since new, on 16 fw so I know its nothing I've done lol fairly certain it is not a hardware fault as I know others with the same issue around here.
Swyped from my rooted X10i using XDA.
Sorry should have said screen locking, not screen living lol

push back button (arrow) and screen will come on. unlock, then if you want to see your contact list, click menu botton (4 Sqaure), add call.
Thanks all..but still no solutions..
The only useful button is the centre button (single square) it took me to the home screen with call showing at the notification bar..but when i clicked on dialer again it come back to the ongoing call..will try certain things after my office n share

I think it will work by pressing the home key for few seconds.

I got the solution..
During call just press centre button (single square) and then to find the contact click Phonebook NOT the dialer..

If you're wanting to conference or make another call in the middle of a call, press left button. Bunch of options will show up. If you wanna do other things like surf, check MMS, emails, or play games, download apps, etc, press middle button. I do this all the time. FYI, mine is still build ***024 (if that makes any difference).
yes! my phone also can't do this!
Check my previous post..n then lemme know the problem

How disable Full bat. notification!

I found this on
sefanboy.com/2010/10/11/samsung-fascinate-hidden-secret-codes/
I tried it, It seems to work, I will know tonight!
Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer (clear first code) and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.
Go back to the phone and dail
*#3844228#
Click the box that says Disable Full Battery Notification.
done and done
That's been around for quite a while, and most people still get the pop up

Doesn't work on DL30. The hidden menu will enable but the audio and disable full Bat menus will not show up. The codes probably got changed for DL30.
The last time the codes worked for me was DI01, the changes I made wouldn't stick on 05/09.
Haven't seen if anyone has found the new menu codes for DL30.
Any devs have luck or any ideas were I could start I have looked in sys files no luck

Vibrate every 45 seconds.

Hey guys,
I recently updated from ColdFusionX to the latest build of KonstaT's 4.2.1 but I can't find the option of "Vibrate every 45 seconds" during calls. Since I am billed by my service provider on a minute-to-minute basis, that 45 second vibration que every minute really helped me control my phone bills
I literally searched EVERYWHERE in the settings but I can't find it
Can you guys tell me where that option is in this KonstaT's build ?
Thanx a lot in advance for any info
Yeah, go to Dialer, press menu to show the hidden settings, press it and it should be there.

[Q] Urgent Cannot return to CDMA mode after international SIM usage

Hello everyone,
In the last 4 months I have been using a foreign SIM card. Last night I came home, and I cannot return to CDMA mode and resume use of my normal Sprint service. I cannot change the network type in the settings (screenshots attached)
I was told that I might need to do a complete factory reset, but honestly I would hate to do that and find out that my foreign SIM card will no longer work for some reason.
My question: Is there any way to reset the mobile network settings to Sprint factory defaults? I have a feeling that the foreign SIM modified settings unbeknownst to me.
Attachments:
In the first picture, you can see that the menu has the option to change to CDMA EVDO LTE, but once that's selected, it doesn't enact any changes. I am not able to revert to CDMA mode.
Hope you guys can help! Thanks in advance.
Another symptom:
All ##****# hidden menus no longer work.
Try *#0011# instead. It will present you with a debug screen. Press the left soft key (menu button that glows) and select "key input", type the number 1 and press OK, the press the left soft key again and select "back". Repeat this until the screen changes to a different menu. Once at the new menu press the left soft key and back one more time. You should see a selection for cdma, press that then select common. Press next page twice and on the third page there should be an option for "pref mode set", select that, then select cdma/lte (or something similar I can't remember off the top of my head), reboot the phone and you should be back to norm.
However if your phone somehow took an update when you got home from traveling and Is on mja now, you might have to to a clean wipe and odin a full modem/kernal/rom.
Let me know if this works!

Ah, regretfully, I never got in to bitcoins!
Anyways, I had another question. How do I revert to stock completely? I would like to get to the point where I can use the original dialer codes (still won't work). I do have data now, but 3434 or 3282 don't work. Also, cannot update profiles OTA/download updates. (See screenshot)
Also, what is the magic OTA that locks your phone? MJA? I'm still on MDL, but I wouldn't mind upgrading if it would benefit me at all.
Oh, I'm not out of the woods yet.
Cannot receive calls/texts, but I can make them. Also, cannot attempt to re-activate the phone, saying there's no network.

Xda app no menu button

Ok so i got my edge plus yesterday. Been using the regular s6 for a few months now and in the xda app there is a actual menu button with 3 dots that kinda hovers down at the bottom. Well on my plus it isnt there. Cant figure out how to being up the menu. If i hold back with a longpress it just starts backing out. Holding home brings up google now. And holding the task brings up multiwindow.
My problem is i cant bring up the menu to create a new thread. Thats why im posting this on my s6 rather than my edge.
Is it something simple im just overlooking?

Dis you guys try to uninstall and install again? Im using XDA premium 4 and everything is awesome here
Yeah I have the same issue. One thing you can do though (not a permanent solution) is to go to accessibility settings and then add that hovering extra button and in that way you can access the menu button.

Long press back button?

I wrote about this over in the Note 5 forum. Nonfiction except to use the XDA premium app, which I think is inferior.
Actually the sad thing is that there's so little one can do to the locked device that I stuck to the free version and it doesnt matter as I hardly have a need to create new forums like the old days (where are you now, HD2???).

Ya that just backs u out. No menu longpress as of right now which sucks

Here is the temp fix guys the problem is a lot of apps detect if there is a hardware menu button and omit showing the soft 3 dot button common in a lot of apps. The S5 has no dedicated menu button but it does have the long press home button option to launch the More options/Menu button, however out Galaxy S6 models do not have this option. BUT some apps still detect it and delete their in app button.
Here is the fix I figured out that works in this situation and it would be good to pass this on or write up a document.
Go to phone settings => Accessibility => Dexterity and interaction => Assistant Menu.
At the top right slide the off button to on to enable the Assistant menu icon on all screens. Then click on the Edit option. In the edit menu deselect all the buttons you do not need by hitting the red negative on the icons (-) in the upper part of the screen. (note it has two buttons that you cannot remove Home Screen, and Menu Settings) on the bottom half of the page hit the green plus sign (+) on the More Options button (It has 3 dots).
Now on all screens is a little round button with 4 dots on it, it appears on all screens in all programs and is floating. There is the More options button now which is the software menu button we are missing =). You can just go back and disable Assistant menu afterward or like me leave this handy button on because I have multiple programs that do this.
Hope this helps guys Cheers!
Long pressing back key brings up menu in most of the Apps

Yeah I tried that it did not work in the app that I run that I could not get to the menu with, I will try another program and see if I can get that to work. I also tried many of the other options I could find through the searches. See the reply above mine in this thread.
