I was trying to fix my 3-4 Ring delay, and tried the Slot Cycle Index change, but no luck.
Anyway, not sure if there is anything in the Service Mode that may help us arrive at a better phone, but there are some challenges using it with the Omnia 2. It doesn't have a D pad or enter button.
Maybe somebody else has a better idea, but I used AEButton + to create (from button 1) a "Down arrow", a "Right arrow", and an Enter button. Since you need to hit down about 65 to 70 times before arriving at Slot Cycle index, I used 1 single press for Down, 2 presses for Right, and 3 for Enter.
Then you can modify settings in the Service Menu, including the following:
1. Dial **772
2. Enter the Service Code 000000 (six 0's) and tap OK
3. Push the directional pad down until you see a screen that says:
SVC Mode NAM1
End of BASIC NAM
EXIT
4. Push the directional pad right so that "Exit" becomes "More"
5. Press the action (Enter) button to enter the additional settings menu.
6. scroll down about 70 times. You will get the the "Slot cycle" screen and the default value will be "2".
1 or 0 should be better.
In case you want to change to 13k Vocoder:
1. Dial **772
2. Enter the Service Code 000000 (six 0's) and tap OK
3. Push the directional pad down until you see a screen that says:
SVC Mode NAM1
End of BASIC NAM
EXIT
4. Push the directional pad right so that "Exit" becomes "More"
5. Press the Enter button to enter the additional settings menu.
6. Press down 1 time to get to the screen that says:
SVC Mode NAM1
Orig. SVC OPT
EVRC
7. The default is set to EVRC. To change to 13k Vocoder press right on the d-pad once.
8. Then press the action button once to save the change.
9. Finally, press the left soft key "Exit" to exit the service menu.
I haven't found much that has helped me so far, but maybe someone smarter and braver than me can find some better settings in there.
For d pad on the I920, use the swype d pad. Its already in the phone.
I knew I would hear from somebody with a better idea eventually. Thank you very much. Very cool.
On my stock Verizon i920, the Vocoder is set to EVRC-B and the only other choice listed is EVRC.
On the last screen for slot cycle, I can't figure out how to change it from "2". Center D-pad (Swype) doesn't select, Enter exits the program, as does "Right arrow".
Anyone have success with this?

To navigate properly in there seems to require a D-pad. For the Omnia 2, I had to program my Center button (via AEButton +) to be able to go Down, Right, and Enter, with single, double, and triple presses of the button. Probably Up would help, too.
A bit more in my "Service Mode..." post. But that is about all I can offer in the way of help, as I don't know much about the rest of the settings in there.

someone else can help me?
Also, you can use the arrows and enter in SWYPE. From Geebox in post number 2 in my other Service Mode thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5651846&postcount=2
I am looking for something to rotate the screen. This might be especially useful for some application like Opera or SMS writing, which would make the keyboard wider.
I have tried BsB tweaks and Gyrator, but booth seems not to work on Touch2.
It's very simple:
Download PHM Registry Editor
Then:
1. Use a regedit and head to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation\" and open "HideOrientationUI".
2. Change "Value Data" to "0" from "1".
3. PowerOff and PowerOn again your Phone.
Set Landscape to "Answer" button:
1. Go to "Start/Settings/Personal Folder" and run "Buttons".
2. In "Program Buttons" tab at "2. Assign a program" select "<Rotate Screen>" and you are done.
After these, every time that you hold the "answer" button screen will rotate from portrait to Landscape and vice versa…
Additional Parameter for Landscape (thnx to "alex_lynx (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5425428&postcount=20)"):
1. Head to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation\" and open "LandscapeMode".
2. Change "Value Data" to "1". Turn screen to left (Default is "4" = Turn screen to right).
thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Thanks.
Alright, the Galaxy series, although awesome, suffers from some issues. None are as frustrating as when the damn capacitive (bottom) buttons stop working!
Normally it seems that all four bottom buttons don't fail at the same time, just one or two. This doesn't seem to be as much of a physical problem as a software one, probably an application running in the forefront that is blocking them. Now it is hard to do much of anything if the settings button (left side) fails, as you cannot access most settings for your apps. Both my outside buttons rarely work, the aforementioned settings button (left) and the search button (right). Search button doesn't matter to me, I can call up search on screen easily enough. The other two are home and back buttons. Back is more necessary than home. So to work around this Samsung-induced-pain-in-the-ass, I swapped the search button function for the home.
Here's how:
Make sure you are roted and have a rooted file manager. Root Explorer tends to work best.
1. Open Root Explorer, and make sure it is mounted r/w.
2. Navigate to /system, /usr, /keylayout.
3. Tap/hold Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl, and select 'Open in Text Editor'. If you get a Warning message, that means you are mounted r/o so you just need to click the Mount R/W button above.
4. Change key 139 to read HOME instead of MENU.
Change key 102 to read MENU instead of HOME.
Hit the back capacitive button and choose to save. It will create a Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl.bak file also so if you want to undo this then just erase the new Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl file and then erase the .bak off the other file.
5. Now open the melfas_touchkey.kl file the same way by holding it until it allows you to select 'Open in Text Editor'.
Change key 139 to read HOME instead of MENU.
Change key 102 to read MENU instead of HOME.
Hit the back capacitive button and choose to save. It will also create a .bak file.
6. Open the qwerty.kl file by holding it until it allows you to select 'Open in Text Editor'.
Change key 102 to read MENU instead of HOME.
Change key 139 to read HOME instead of MENU.
Hit the back capacitive button and choose to save. It will again create a .bak file.
7. Back out of Root Explorer and restart your phone.
Now, when you push your home button it will bring up your settings menu in whatever application is open, and your settings button will do the home function (or nothing, as my outside buttons do as they don't usually work). I now use my back button to get me to home, it just takes a few more pushes as it goes one step at a time. Not as much of a pain as not being able to set program functions, that's for sure!
Note: Depending on your setup, the file names might be slightly different on other Android devices, but they will always be very similar. They'll all have a bluetooth.kl, touchkey.kl and qwerty.kl (or whatever your keyboard layout might be). You can also fool around with other key settings if you wish to experiment, depending on what is and is not working at the current time. Just save your original .bak files so you can put it back to normal easily. If you alter the .kl file more than once, it will overwrite the .bak file again (which is not used by the phone) so make sure you copy the .bak's to another directory (such as /sdcard/backups or your regular computer).
Hope this makes your lives easier and don't forget to thank me if I helped you.
Modified Home key acting up
So after using this mod for a little while, it has been working well except for some slight stalling of response from the capacitive buttons (which was happening before the mod) and an awfully annoying habit of backing out of programs by itself due to the modified left button which was originally Settings but I changed to Home with the above mod. When this happens, I can see the left button go dark as if it's been physically pressed, so obviously there is some electrical or software malfeasance happening there.
The fix to this problem is to navigate to your /system/usr/keylayout folder again and:
Delete: "key 139 HOME"
In each of these three folders we altered earlier:
Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl
melfas_touchkey.kl
qwerty.kl
The result is that no action is associated with the leftmost capacitive button, which is fine because it wasn't working properly in the first place. This was becoming problematic as I typed in Terminal or while using my Ubuntu build on the phone.
Now, if there was also a problem with the search popping up by itself then you would just have to delete "key 217 SEARCH". Remember why I initially did this was because the outside capacitive buttons were not functioning properly and I needed the settings button more than home while in programs.
Fully Functioning Capacitive Button Workaround
I actually found a specific need for the home key.
When in Terminal Emulator, if I want to back out to the main screen and access another application, I have to use my back button. Trouble is, the back button also closes out the terminal session, which is a pain in the *ss if I want to just look up something in my browser and then go back to it. I have to then restart my session and retype on the small as hell keyboard. So I was thinking, how am I going to implement a home key function in my drop-down start menu which is always accessible and low-and-behold, here it is:
SoftKeys for Root Users
https://market.android.com/details?...EsIm5ldC5ob29wYWpvby5hbmRyb2lkLlNvZnRLZXlzIl0.
This is a great app. Solves the problem. Starts immediately on boot.
There's also this for just a home key in the start menu drop-down, no start on boot though:
BK Softhome
https://market.android.com/search?q=bk+softhome&c=apps
Problems solved! I now have disabled all 4 capacitive buttons while using Softkeys for Root Users for all functions. (Delete: key 102, key 139, key 158, and key 217 in all three folders listed in original post)
Anyone know how to enable the Engineer Mode on the S22 Ultra?
The standard Android shortcut key *#*#3646633#*#* doesn't work, and the other suggestion of going to the Service Menu and typing "Q0" in key entry doesn't work either.
Thanks.
This seems to be a solution posted on XDA but I cannot get it to work? I assume that's the upper case letter Q and lower case letter o I'm supposed to type? I type it into the box but it just takes me back to the SERVICE MENU with BASIC INFORMATION, [1] SIM INFORMATION [2] SIM state is not ready.
"Open the dial pad and enter *#0011#A window will pop up saying you've entered 'Service Mode'Click on Key Input (on the right hand corner of the screen)Enter the 'Qo' key. "
looks more like Q0
in "words" QZero
I've tried every combination of the letter Q and number Zero, as well as the letter O and nothing works. Can you try to see on your phone?
See this post for how to access service menu (engineering mode).
Wow! Seems complicated but will give it a go. Thanks!
