[REQ] CHT2 3G toggle switch

I know it's not a high priority issue, but would someone be kind enough to make a 3G toggle switch for CHT1.8.5/2? TIA!

This is not as easy as it seems..tried it by myself. You need access to your gsm module to send an AT-Command to switch your Band.
"It is locked by the devicedriver handling the RIL1"...theres an example here on xda for wm5 devices, but it doesn't work for wm6 devices.
This piece of code is the problem.
"0xAAAA5679L" is a control code which is send to the device. It should enable the modem, so that you are able to send data/AT-commands.
Code:
BYTE comdevcmd[2]= {0x84, 0x00};
if (!DeviceIoControl (m_hCom,0xAAAA5679L, comdevcmd, sizeof(comdevcmd),0,0,0,0))
{
...
{
If I'am right, there are only two apps who are able to toggle 3g:
WMLonglife
CommMgrPro
...was sitting a lot of days in front of it, without success.

thanks for trying j4n87! I thought it would be easy since there are already toggles for wifi, bluetooth, etc from the comm manager that bringing out the 3G toggle switch would just be as simple. I guess wrong

Semi Working
Ok I've been playing around and since it launches from the comm manager this resets the radio and uses the 3G function; however I do not know what to put for the machinestatus thus it never fully works.
Code:
Co0kieSwitchLink("[[IDS_3G_TOGGLE]]", "\\Windows\\CHT_switch_3G.png", [B]event_change_notifier[/B]
,function()
JMLComm("3G")
end
,function()
[B] get_current_state_function[/B]
end)
e.g.:
Code:
Co0kieSwitchLink("[[IDS_WIFI_TOGGLE]]", "\\Windows\\CHT_switch_wifi.png", [B]machineStatus.WifiOn.OnValueChanged[/B]
,function()
JMLComm("wifi")
end
,function()
[B]return machineStatus.WifiOn.Value[/B]
end)
So anyone from the manila Gurus out there lend us a hand my lua is atrocious.

interesting... i hope someone else with manila experience can chime in!

[General Discussion] Samsung Galaxy W/Samsung Exhibit 2 4G

Since there is no forum for this phone YET I thought I would set up this topic for general discussion on this phone for now.
I just got this yesterday, I am currently loving it. Playing MKV @ 1280x720 is a really awesome improvement over my Optimus One.
Too bad it is BLOATED with crapware by Samsung and my carrier that makes it much slower than it should be though =\ But I'm guessing custom ROMs will fix that for us
So what are your opinions on this phone people?
K.
Edit: This is now a general topic for the Exhibit 2 4G aswell

You can try rooting your phone and try to install titanium backup and remove all the unnecessary apps but be cautious when removing because it might damage your cp.

If I'm not mistaken, ICS Keyboard is available in the Android Market right? After installing it, you can switch to any input methods from your phone through Settings > Language & Keyboard.

Samsung Galaxy W
I just got my phone last December 2011. It's performing very well! I really think I invested my money right on this phone. I have been exploring it and I find it very easy to configure. I still hope someone out there could give me points or information about my phone.
I'm still new. By the way, my earphones aren't working well/ sounds from it, is it just the hardware or there's got to be some settings need to work on. Well, I can here the music, only, I can't here the artist singing. It's like, I'm just having instrumentals. Anyone?

Galaxy W not connecting to cell network...please HELP
Hi,
I bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy W, but it is not connecting to the cellular network in my country (GSM 1800MHz, UMTS 850MHz). Does anyone know if the galaxy W is selling as a quad-band UMTS phone? In the Samsung Hong Kong website the specs show UMTS (850/900/1900/2100MHz); however in the Samsung UK it only shows UMTS (900/2100 MHz). Does this phone have a similar antenna design as the Galaxy S where the 850MHz band can be enabled/disabled by software via the service mode *#*#197328640#*#*? I tried it dialing this code but nothing happened.
The Exhibit II 4G is a quad-band UMTS 3G design. Does anyone know if the Galaxy W has the same antenna design but only enabled 2 bands?

Hi guys... does the RZrecovery support backing up sd-ext image?

[Q] Cobalt SP300 (MT6575)

I received a new phone today that I got on eBay, a Cobalt SP300. The hardware itself is pretty decent, except for the camera, but I've run into some issues with Android. I think it might be my APN settings, even though I've tried many different variation, but I can't get outbound texting to work. It just says sending for a while and then fails. Inbound texting however works fine.
Another issue is that I am stuck on the Edge network. I took a game since the eBay description said Edge only, but I was hoping it might have been in error since this chipset inherently has 3G built into it. But I think for some reason this company disabled it. Also kind of odd since it says it allows HSDPA right on the box... Anyway,when I go into the info screen (*#*#4636#*#*) I see it says GSM only, but it won't let me change it. I remember seeing on a russian site some sort of debugging screen where you could see all bands the phone allows. Anyone know how to get to that?
Would anyone be able to help with this?
Would knowing the baseband or kernel version help?
Thanks

I have also tried getting into an engineering mode as well using *#*#3646633#*#* and *#*#197328640#*#* to view band modes but neither of those codes work, it just brings me back to the dialer screen.

As far as the no incoming texts go, I figured that out by putting the proper SMSC code for AT&T in the messaging app setting. Hopefully this bit might help anyone else with the same problem.
I don't know if anyone may be able to answer this now but with so many of these selling on eBay someone else is bound to searching for the same fix as I am for the 3G. I made the EDGE bearable by using Opera Mini however.
Also, I found the original Chinese version of this phone, the Morningside A206.
And it turns out I'm not alone in the search for 3G, I found something in Chinese with someone inquiring why their A206 won't connect to 3G.
I would post these links but I don't have enough posts.

3G is looking less likely to be activated.
I found an app called Mobileuncle MTK Tools that gets you into engineer mode. I go down to Band Modes (Screenshot attached) and the GSM modes are all selectable but all of the UMTS modes are grayed out. It just seems so weird I know this is a MT6575 chipset which supports it. Is there anything else that can be done?
I also happened to find out how to root the phone if anyone comes across this and needs to know.
Follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046161
I also had to find the drivers elsewhere, so just google this .rar file: usb_driver_MT65xx_Android_ZTE_v821.rar
The first google result from rghost . net worked fine

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, 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

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.
