Guest ptruman Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) I found this a while back, then wanted to use it today and had forgotten the codes ;) (I'm putting it here so I can find it again) WARNING : Screwing around in these menus may brick your phone. NOTE : This applies to GSM Hero phones only. I believe CDMA replaces *#*# with ## and #*#* with # Hint - maybe someone might like to try this with the various radio versions to compare strengths? ;) HTC Phone Information Screens Dialling *#*#4636#*#* provides the following : Phone Information - IMEI - Phone number (if known) - Current network - Ping test - Signal strength - Location (signal latency & Cell ID) - Neighbouring Cell IDs - Roaming state - GSM service status - GPRS service status - Current network type - Message waiting status - Call redirect status - Call status - Radio reset count - Data attempt count ? - Data success count ? - GSM disconnect info log - PPP sent count - PPP receive count - Number of PPP reset since boot count - Preferred network type (selectable) - Toggle ciphering (selectable) - Toggle QXDM SD Log ? (selectable) - Toggle radio on/off (selectable) - Set/retrieve SMSC number (click Refresh to show current) - Toggle DNS check Pressing MENU will allow you to : - Set your radio band manually - View SIM address book - View SIM fixed dialling numbers - View SIM service dialling numbers - Get PDP list (GPRS contexts IIRC) - Disable data connection - Disable data on boot Battery Information (what you get in Spare Parts anyway) Dialling *#*#3424#*#* provides the following : HTC Function Test - Test LED, Backlight, Vibrator, Display, Audio, SD card, Camera, Button, HST, Touch, System, Battery Don't blame me if "SD Test" (or anything else in those menus) wipes your card/phone/dog...... EDIT (10/01/2010) Using information from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540483 I've dumped all my .apk files and searched for the codes...I found nothing *new*, but the GTalk Service Monitor is valid... *#*#8255#*#* -> Google Talk Service Monitor (Talk.apk) This is rather more interesting, as it shows : - Google Talk host address & port - Your Google JID (presumably Jabber ID, as GTalk is based on Jabber IIRC) - Your Device ID (this is interesting, and presumably hashed from something - will check across ROMs as I presume this MUST stay the same) - GTalk connection status - GTalk heartbeat status (presumably when it checks in to GTalk?) Anyone know what AutoSync is? Edited January 10, 2010 by ptruman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dan Mullen Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Don't blame me if "SD Test" wipes your card.... You might want to move this bit so it's before the code - I can imagine a number of people blindly entering the code before reading all the way down and getting caught out ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
