[Q] Service Mode Menu not opening... Why? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to open the service mode menu with the usual code (*#*#197328640#*#*) but as soon as I press the last "*" the numbers delete themselves from the screen... Is this related to the ROM i'm using or what?
Weird stuff...

Yes. Either Samsung changed the code on the recent updates or they disabled it entirely.

I already did all those variants without success... Samsung must changed the codes on newer phones (mine's white, so it's newer than the black ones)...

Hi,
I am on ICS 4.0.3 custom rom from Criskelo. The service mode works for me but I can't seem to access 5) Audio. I wanna change the coeff settings to improve sound quality. Anyone knows an alternative to the audio part? Thanks in advance! Oh I have a White S2 ;-)

same here
i've got the same issue with 4.0.3 and 5) audio. nobody seems to have the answer.

don`t you mean...screen off?!
if that`s the case you may have some problem with your phone. i`ve been using custom roms since 1st day and never had any issue regarding that (if THAT is the case)
screen off. I tried to restore via Sony Ericsson PC Companion, but still did not fix the error. only thing when I use the build number old 2.0.2.A.0.24. all errors are gone.

[Q] SGS2 Secret code error: MMI Invalid

So I've been trying to enter some of the 'Secret codes' from this page and have run into a weird problem. Basically some of the codes work (Not very many, IMEI being one that does) but the majority do nothing. The dialer simply sits there and when I then call the number, which I realise shouldn't be necessary, I get an error of Invalid MMI or connection problem.
There have been a significant amount of threads on XDA and the web but the most relevant ones seem to be from Galaxy Nexus owners. This thread for example highlights my problem exactly so it may be something to do with ICS/CM9 that I've overlooked. Another user in the fast dormancy thread also has the same issue so I don't think it's an isolated issue. I've also taken the following steps to try and resolve the issue (Worked for other devices/threads I came across):
- Turn off DTFM tones in Phone - Settings. I don't have this option.
- Turn off touch pad tones. Doesn't work.
- Turn off Speaker phone before entering codes. I don't have this option from within the phone app.
Has anyone else ran into this or know of any solution? Any help would be appreciated
Same here, using official Samsung ROM
It's because you use a custom ROM which does not have the Samsung dialer (or a service linked to this dialer).
In other terms, only Samsung dialer can "read" these secret codes.

Until I began using CM9 recently I only ever used stock based ROMs and couldn't get the codes working. A user above me seems to be the same. Some of the samsung specific codes did work from memory but a vast majority of them didn't. Seems to be hit or miss :/

Thats what i found some work some don't even tried SGS tools etc .
I belive the posted codes came from SGS not SGS2 . Possible a difference ???
jje
I had misread your first post. Sorry. :/
Indeed, if you have one secret code working, it means you use Samsung dialer.
I guess Samsung did not implement all functionalities behind these codes. I don't think there's a workaround, but maybe I'm missing something.

Just to let you know, I have had this issue since day one with CM9 (December). I have read and read and re-read and nothing is working. Afew codes are working, but no more. I have added * and/or # etc.. Nothing work. The best example is the Fast Dormancy one. But others do the same. Some people says its because we don't have stock ICS Dialer. Dont know what to do if you find, pls let me know.

[Q] Problem switching calls | ICS | F1 GalaxyNexus ROM

Hi,
Galaxy S2
F1 GalaxyNexus ROM, Build 5.
I'm having a problem switching calls. When the second call comes in I'm notified of it and swipe right to answer it but I get an error, "unable to switch calls". I had the same problem in Build 1 so updated to Build 5 today but I still get the same error when I try to switch to the second call.
I've checked that call waiting is enabled, and it is.
I've turned it off and rebooted the phone but strangely still get notified of the second call.
I've re-enabled call waiting and rebooted but still get the same error as before "unable to swich calls".
I'm on Vodafone pay as you go, Freedom Freebie.
Any ideas please? I'm a noob so can't post on the Faryaab's development thread
Thanks
Greg
I probably should of said....
The Baseband version is I9100XXLPS.
If the second caller hangs up I am able to get back to the first caller.
If I can get the first caller to hang up then I can switch to the second caller.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Greg
Just bumping my own thread again.
Wondering if anyone can advise if they have call waiting enabled and can switch calls and what ROM you're running?
Any help would be really appreciated

Hi Sun90,
Sorry about the bump, will edit my OP if I need to in the future.
In Titanium I did a 'wipe data' for 'Phone 4.0.4-eng', shutdown, pulled the battery and rebooted. No luck unfortunately
I was wondering if this could be related to the baseband? I'm running I9100XXLPS on Vodafone UK. What are you running?
I might have to check out the ROM you're running! I really like this ROM but not being able to switch calls is such a pain.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Sun90,
Just tried as you said but the only option was to clear data, which I did. I also cleared the defaults (not sure what that'll do!), switched off, pulled battery but still get the same error, unable to switch calls.
I suppose it must be the ROM
Thanks anyway.

just to ensure its a problem with the present version of F1 rom ur using, i would suggest u to try an older or a newer version of that rom and see, also alternatively check with some other rom like 'Slim ICS' for instance and see if the issue persists
I worked out what the defaults is all about, it's cause I've got calls set to default to the phone rather than Skype.
I've removed Skype just in case it was causing the issue but it wasn't.
Any other ideas please?
Cheers

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick update to say that Vodafone UK advised me that call waiting / switching doesn't work when you are on pay as you go
I had previously posted in the Vodafone forum and been advised to try a wipe and spoken to tech support who advised that it should work, luckily for me I spoke to someone today that knew what they were talking about!
Thanks for your help.
Cheers

I have the same problem.
Upgraded my Galaxy S2 to 4.1.2 yesterday, and I cannot connect to 3G at all.
My contract is with Orange, I am wondering whether it is some sort of switch to EE issue which the update has brought about? I also think that I accidentally clicked something in a pop-up menu after the update. Like, a pop-up menu with 2 options came up on my screen, but I was just touching something anyway, and automatically selected an option (can't be sure, but think I clicked the option other than "Orange"), that could be the problem?

When I perform a call from the device using the BT headset the other side hears my voice very distorted.
However when I receive a call the other side hear my voice very well.
I tested two different BT headsets and they all have the same problem.
I also tested those BT headsets with Samsung Galaxy S2 and they worked correctly.
Please help me solve this problem.

It does not work with certain network providers. In my country we have 3 cellular providers Pelephone,Cellcom, and Orange. Only Cellcom has a problem.
There is some kind of interference between BT transmission and Cellcom broadcast. My guess it is a HW issue in THL cellular phones.
So the best solution is to switch cellular provider.

I also found this bug in THL W100. This is probably design bug in all THL line of phones.
This phone is designed for Chineese market and I guess there were no problems with Chineese providers. Also they may have skipped some of the tests or limitations to reduce the phone price.
Aparently this is HW issue, so no software can fix it.
The only way to fix it is to switch the provider or give up the phone.

I also found another solution if you move your phone to GSM mode only, it also solves the problem.
This can be done in settings menu.

If you can just switch to another provider. It is the best way. I use Ramy-Levy. It works well.

Fixed
16-12-13 SOLVED:
Looks like i found a fix for this, problem is in one of the parameters of the audio speech enhancement settings.
this is what i did :
enter engineer mode through moble uncle tools or gravity mod.
go to hardware testing
select audio
select speech enhancement
change common parameter to BT earphone
change parameter0 to parameter12
change the value to 20488
press back several times
reboot phone and test it
i came to this solution by comparing the differences to my jiayu in witch this was recently solved.
THL W8-16GB
Jiayu G4 Advanced 2GB/32GB
SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB2 7.0
one extra problem
After making a call (I use Lenovo p780) when I'm on 3g, the phone "falls out" the network. It restore the connection in few seconds, but it's annoying. It doesn't happen always, but very frequent
When I change my phone to 2g mod, it works well, but in 3g- the problem is there
any solution?
I doubt it
lisawang said:
maybe 3g signal strength is not very good, you can use your SIM card change a phone to try.then you can know the problem is phone or the signal strength

I doubt it
with another phone it works well
BUT same phone no BT it woks just as well
it's something to do with 3g & bluetooth together
