Firmware I5800XXJPA - Discussion Thread :)

LATEST FIRMWARE:
I5800XXJPA for I5800 EUROPE (November 2010) - CLICK HERE - Android 2.2 FROYO (pass = samfirmware.com)
Please feel free to discuss about JPA firmware
Ciao

Just installed and restoring my apps. No bugs found yet.....

Compared to JP8 (the firmware I was using befor):
- Standard SMS is fully functional, but because of the beter groups sms functionality I will use Handcent again.
- Video (tested with an Divx file) is working again.
- Less lagtime.

But sill no good flash player....

Quite stable firmware. Most likely the official release coming soon.
Some bugs,
- the application file size displayed as number without the respective "Mb" or "Kb" unit. Ex. 4 megabytes displayed as "4".
- proximity sensor not working. When phone lifted off the ear, the screen display won't resumed back to dial pad. Probably not the sensor but some setting to be corrected.
- GPS still need small adjustment
- Powering off still take quite some time
- At times, the phone will be sluggish for no obvious reason ( but not common)
- 2.2 JIT built-into this release? Seems like not much speed improvement. I get an initialisation failed when i do adb shell dalvikvm -help

I am about to upgrade this on my i5801 (Asia), any suggestions? Please?
Last time I upgraded with I5800XXJP9 ## and used it, then after a restart my phone never started. I again had to install I5801DDJG6 # !

just fully charged my galaxy 3 and after 1h doing nothing with phone my battery have only 80%

I have some bugs:
- when somebody is calling the phone freezing, and the network is restarting, and i don't know who called me
- i don't can exit from Contacts, just with the Home button
- the phone don't receive the text messages
before i update to I5800XXJPA not hard reset the phone maybe this make the problems maybe not, i don't know
/Sorry my bad English/

Installed JPA. No problems found.

any suggestion for gpsfix of this jpa firmware?
the only way is rooting (with superoneclick, z4root and others didn't seem to work) and then use fasterfix ?
i have also a galaxy s and I used SGS tools to fix that (plus lbstestmode). does it work on galaxy 3 ?
thanks
ps: jpa is a good fw in my opinion

JPA works fine until now. 2 hours of testing. No wifi drop error, no freezing.
No GPS though..
I'm exactly in your position, got an SGS too, so if u find out anything pls send a PM.
Thanks.

If you are in the europe region, most likely you don't have to fix the gps.conf. Just run the gpssetup2 and finetune some of the parameters. Else, you have to get rooted and use fasterfix or edit gps.conf manually.
Not too sure about the SGS tools.

I noticed a very critical issue with this JPA release. The phone will become unstable or hang when loading more memory intense apps. For example, i tried loading a trace.txt file, after exit, the phone became sluggish and not responsive.
If you are normal usage, probably not a concern.

try hard reset again. I encountered this before, after hard reset, set the APN entry right, it will be alright.

You got any idea how to finetune it ?
i tried
Dail: *#*#3214789650#*#* --> settings --> Parameter Settings --> SSL --> I disabled it and changed it to Google Server. After that I changed Start mode to "Cold Start" and restarted the device.
Again dialed *#*#3214789650#*#* --> Commands --> Get positions, and wait 30 sec for an fix.
Back to settings --> Parameter Settings --> Start mode --> and changed it back to Hot Start. Restart device again.
i installed GPS Test and it got connected to satellites but is the a navigation software i can use ? I have iGO Amigo in my SGS 800*480, but on 400*240 i didn't find anything.

Yes I did change with this secret code, but I must switch off and on the phone with enabled GPS - then it works fine. But it takes time to switch off and on the phone. Any suggestions ? I've tryed also OCTY application and others.

One day after installed:
battery at 80%
problem on restoring apps from Titanium backup
sms works ok
wifi works ok
good speed
gps buggy like always
stable

Can anyone confirm that proximity sensor still sucks? I mean sittuation when we finish call...

Hi, i use Ndrive, it is good on my opinion. Almost a perfect replacement for the iGo.

[Request] Secret code to disable Fast Dormancy

Does anyone know the dialer code to disable FD ? I've tried *#*#9900#*#* that works on the SGS2 but it opens another menu.
P_

*#*#197328640#*#* brings up a farly limited service menu, there is a an option regarding sleep modes. Please be careful. I will look more into ths later. Thanks.
*#*#9900#*#* is sysdump menu

Thanks Chris, but I do not seem to be able to find the FD option in this menu.
FD is not related to a sleep state but its a protocol to increase battery life and network optimization ............ if both the phone and the cell phone carrier supports it. I think my carrier does not support it and for this reason I want to check if disabling it will actually increase battery life.

I know this doesnt exactly answer your question but hope it helps us with something
digging through apps now, nothing in phone. I got some in servicemenuapp, they're usually somewhere in .smali files. here's what I got so far..I imagine all begin with *#*# and end with #*#*
NOT SURE WHAT ALL OF THESE WILL DO YET, COULD POSSIBLY RESET YOUR PHONE OR SOMETHING ELSE DRASTIC PLEASE BE CAREFUL, THIS IF FOR INFORMATIONAL USE ONLY
that being said, hopefully we can safely find out what each one does.. also, try hitting the menu button and back, may bring you to higher menu.
enjoy and please be careful.

[Q] Service Mode

Hey guys, i have a question. I'm trying to get into the service mode via the dialer by entering all the codes that i have found so far. None of them work ecept for one that shows promise but only shows a black screen with "Service Mode" at the top and it doesn't respond to any of the imputs from the drop down box. that code is - 27663368378 - There is another one that actually works but it just gives me the info on my network connections. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also I'm running stock, rooted, safestrapped, 4.4.2 kitkat. Thanks!

[APP] NetworkMode v1.0

recently, i got an update on my HTC One m8 to android 4.4.4, and that update removed the option for "2G" only Mode in the Preferred Network Mode, so i made this little app to bring it back
android:minSdkVersion="14"
android:targetSdkVersion="19"
!!!
Please Use at your Own Risk since this also lets you edit other radio related settings!

Nice, secret menu - like that since good old Nokia days. Cheers.

Yes or that, but not everyone knows that code hence the app

Just for kicks... It's *#*#info#*#* on a phone keypad. Had a moment when I figured it out.

Service Mode Not Supported- AQG5 UK Update Galaxy S8+ G955F

I recently received the July AQG5 UK update for my Galaxy S8+ G955F (Exynos) and the service mode menu (*#2683662#) now says not supported when in the prior firmware version it worked fine. the service mode menu allows you to lock onto specific LTE bands and enable more advanceed features such as 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM as well as other things, as i mentioned earlier it worked fine in the previous update but now just says not supported.
The service mode code •#0011# still works fine, its just the other one mentioned that no longer works, anyone know why or if can get it back without having to flash back to a previous firmware version?

bump

bump, come on people someone must have some info

have you tried *#2263# ??

It's disabled on my Indian set also.
Maybe the 6gb set suffers with this aspect

that is for the snapdragon version, i have the international exynos version and the *#2683662# code used to work but after the update it now says unsupported

possibly yes, im not sure which soc the indian version has whether its snapdragon or exynos but if its exynos then seems samsung have disbaled it after a recent update for whatever reason

After months there is still no information for it on the Internet other than that it's not working, so, let's start.
What's in
Code:
logcat -b all -s RILD -s RILD2 -s RILS -s ServiceModeApp_RIL -s XMLParser
?
Which CSCs have it disabled?
Is it accessible with root?
That menu *#2683662# allowed the selection of antennas on a cell tower; channel selection (12 channels in UMTS band 1 as an example); band selection; CA enable/disable; LTE CAT selection; UMTS/LTE Release selection; viewing of 2G/3G neighbours by arfcn/uarfcn; 256QAM/4x4(but no one got it to rank 4, not working? no antenna for the BTS?); reject codes; displayed supported bands and CA Combinations; etc.

the logcat command you provided doesn't really give any useful information which can pinpoint any potential solution.
With regards to the CSC's, i can only comment on the XEU CSC which is part of the OXM multi csc and the one my phone is on and on that it says not supported for the code.
I haven't checked on root, don't really want to root my device

But it could be compared with the logs of a working 2683662. How many of those names appear? Maybe Samsung has changed those names. It's the system wide no-root logcat "adb logcat"?(not sure about the /data/log one) It's while the RIL service mode is starting?

i tried the logcat using the filters you provided (i.e. RILS, RILD etc) and yes it does bring back logs relating to those services however its not enough, all it outlines is when i type the code and monitor the logs subsequnt to the typing of the code the log just shows it trying to open the process associated with the menu, it doesnt show what it tries to do in between me sending the code and the response coming back so comparing that with a working code log will bring back nothing of note
however having said that i did try the full system wide log which was a bit teidous given it logs everything so going through it and pinpointing the relevant piece of log was a bit hard, i will attempt to log again using my s8+ and another samsung phone for which the same code works on and then post it here

try install phone info . this programm has all codes inside

Guys, the same in brazil. Since the begining of the year I've tried to activate 256QAM+MIMO 4x4 in my sumsung galaxy s8 using *#2683662# and by now it doen't work as return the message "not supported". Do you guys has reached some progress on it?

Seems they changed something inside the CP (modem.bin) and disabled the code. Flashing back the AQF7 - CP file will get back the code, but don't know the effect.

Yes I also noticed this a couple months back and made my own thread on it. So far there has been no progress except to flash a previous older update

Hi, you can get into advanced service menu with the app called phone info. Look for code 27663368378 and click Launch 0. Tested on rooted android 7, exynos galaxy s7.

Unfortunately starting with Android v8.x.x (Oreo), test codes sent to the RilServiceModeApp via android_secret_code://<code> even by root are being denied.
If the test menu *#2263# or *#2683662# or *#2766338378# doesn't work with your current sim card, then try the following.
Find a couple of other active or inactive sim cards (can be another local carrier or from abroad), let the phone reboot and reconfigure its CSC while on the blue bootup screen, then try the code again, since test codes are CSC specific. It's a hit and miss affair, so be persistent.
If your phone is rooted, you can try these methods one at a time.
After each step, reboot the phone and try the test codes *#2263# or *#2683662# or *#2766338378#.
1. Using Shortcut Master (free version) from the PlayStore, tap on the menu, Secret Code Explorer, scroll down to 2263 or 2683662 or 2766338378 (or Menu > Search for "band"), tap on Launch0.
2. On combination firmware edit the file /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu and /efs/FactoryApp/keystr to be "ON", which will persists even after flashing back to stock firmware.
3. Copy the <CSC>_keystrings.dat from system/etc to root/etc and set permissions to 0744.
4. Try replacing the /system/priv-app/ModemServiceMode/ModemServiceMode.apk=com.sec.android.RilServiceModeApp from a previous Android version which had the codes working, and set the permissions to 0744.
5. Flash an earlier radio (CP) which had the codes working, if the current bootloader allows it to be downgraded.
This last method works on all Samsung models/firmwares without root, but requires a special test cable, which is only available for micro-USB ports at this time.
If you can find a similar cable with a USB-C connector, then it should work just fine. By the way, using an micro to C adapter does not work.
The following is only for phones with a micro-USB port, nonetheless it makes an interesting way to enable the hidden test menus.
You can actually enable most test codes (including RIL test codes which fail to execute on Oreo of newer even while rooted, such as *#2263# band change, *#2683662 lab test mode, and *#2766338378# engineering test menu, etc) on pretty much any model/firmware/region by simply plugging in a test cable into the phone (the other end doesn't have to be plugged in anywhere, it's just the built in resistor which enables test mode/FactoryMode).
It's important to follow the next steps exactly in this order: Open the dialer, exit the dialer with the Back key (not the Home button!), reopen the dialer and now it should accept most test codes.
These cheap test cables can be found on Ebay or AliExpress, just search for "Samsung 523K uart cable" or "Samsung 619K uart cable". Some come as a combo where you can simply switch the resistor values via a switch, but you must try both values, since only one or the other will work on certain models/firmwares/regions.
I've been using this method successfully for many years (currently on my Samsung S7 with the latest 2019 firmware), unfortunately these test cables are only available for micro-USB connectors, so it won't work on the newer USB-C phones even with an adapter (because it doesn't extend the resistor lines, only the data lines). If anyone finds a solution for USB-C, please post a message here.
