it works across all networks in Canada/USA, it shows you if you are in your home network or not
but in WIND it does even a step further they incorporated a quick menu to check your usage, and refill your account as in some other european & south america countries

A lot of the ones in the wiki/faq for other Galaxy S type phones work. I haven't ran through them all to test, though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Secret_Codes

there are many of the codes for SGS that doesn't work on the SNS
i've not tried them all yet, just too many
i've only tried a few that i frequently used on the SGS

Does the one on the first post allow me to check the color, eg for dead pixels, I know *#0*# is for most Samsung, does this work for the sns, I'm about to buy one so I need to check it.
Thanks

HI,
I got a Nexus S and it is on the same Baseband and kernel version. These commands dont work!!
Also strange thing is, I am unable to calls or send SMSs and the GSM service says its Out of Service. BUT GPRS services work and I am able to browse the internet. I have absolutely no idea how this is possible.
ANy suggestions? My guess is the Service Domain in the Service mode is set to CS only. Need to change this to CS+PS. Since the USSD command (*#0011#) doesnt work, not sure what to do.
Please suggest.

Seems not like a kernel problem.
Could you post some screenshots/photos ?

Go to developer option and unselect strict mode and show screen update

Its an hardware issue.

Have you tried flashing stock rom ?

Two OS features are missing in S6!!

I have the phone for two days now, but I noticed that unlike GS4 and GS5, GS6 is missing these two important features!
there is no "answer vibration" feature , so if someone answer my call I can't let the device vibrate!
you can't put a "direct call" icon in the desktop! now you can put contact icon, then after clicking it will take you to the contact page for that person!
Anyone, is this the case with you? anyone know how to solve it?!

Go into the dialer settings and under call alerts you'll find what you're looking for.

I just did a hard reset, still this option is not there
My S6 is from middle east, I think I need to install different ROM!
how about direct call icon in desktop, it is working with you?
thanks for your help!

Don't think it's Samsung. Looks like Google removed the shortcuts for the direct call, email, sms, etc... In lollipop from what I can find. I been searching and not much info on the web about this, guess me and you the few that used that feature.
Sent from my SM-G900T using AllianceR(●)m

it might be, but I used Lollipop in my GS5 and the feature was there!
I am most annoyed about the vibration thing! I even flashed a German ROM in my mobile but the vibrate on answer feature didn't show up! :crying:

Don't think it's the Os it's the phone model ID and product ID , if it's that important change it to a us variant, might not boot though

Direct call is different from a shortcut. With direct call you click the icon and it calls the assigned person. With the shortcut as in the screen you posted, it takes you to the contacts page, where you then call text etc...
Thanks though

Thank you for your answer, this feature is important to me. I tired to install the T-Mobil US ROM. but it failed with Odin! I guess because my phone is G920F. and the T-Mobil pone is G920I.
For the second point, I agree with tenxo. Galaxy phones used to have direct calls.

don't try to flash a different rom since they are different kernel and boorloader. You are going to damage your device...

thanks, but I wish there is a solution for not vibrating on answer

I have GS6 Edge Middle East edition
I have the same problem as yours no call alerts option
I really miss the vibrating feature after answering

I have the European S6 Edge - no call alert settings as well. I would like to remove the call connect tone and enable vibrate on answer. Hope Samsung will add this with the next updates.

This ROM is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
Now I can't tell you if this ROM will work on your phone, but it has the option to turn on Vibrate on Call. This ROM is also a "LITE" rom, so it de-bloats alot of things. So read carefully, and ask questions BEFORE you flash.

I don't use the ROM (I haven't rooted yet--waiting/hoping of a way to root without tripping KNOX), but I wanted to read about it and that Vibrate on Calls caught my eye because I remember someone asking about that feature. So I came back here to tell you about it. I'm T-Mobile US, so I already have that feature OTB. Weird some don't have that simple feature. Odd. But you're welcome, and good luck!
EDIT: WOW... You've been here since 2010, and you only have 12 posts! How does that happen? You passed 100% of your old posts count in just a week! Lol

Help needed in enabling the Developer Options

I got this Exynos S7 SM-G930F today and the first thing I wanted to do was to root the phone. I was trying to enable the Developer Options in the Settings first but unfortunately the Build Number area was simply untappable. No matter how many times I tapped on that thing, nothing happened. I attached a screenshot with this post and was hoping someone can help me out on this. Much appreciated!
