Engineering Mode? - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to access engineering mode in the Z5C? Tried *#*#*386#*#* or *#*#*585*0000#*#* and neither worked, crashes the dialer.
Thanks
EDIT: Mods please move to Q&A, my apologies.

You can request a thread movement by hitting the triangle "!" button under your post. (not in app, only in webview)

I only know the service menu,
*#*#SERVICE#*#*

I dont know a "Engineering" Mode. I just know to others. Maybe you search one of this.
Developer Settings =>GO to Settings -> About Phone -> Hit "BuildNumber" many Times (i think it should be 7 Times). Then the Developer Settings will become available under Settings as a new Menupoint.
ServiceMenu => in Dialer put this insert -> *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#service#*#*) like darkarvan has wrote.

There is a different mode called Engineering Mode or Tech Mode, it allows you to see your LTE bands and disable certain bands. http://tmo.rocks/2015/07/xda-user-f...ngineering-mode-for-xperia-z3-and-z3-compact/

[Q] power.saving.mode

im trying to disable forever that annoying Power saver mode that disables mobile internet when screen off in htc phones(not only the notification).
By now, i figured out it has something to do with power.saving.mode, but i cant find a detailed explanation on the forums, and testing on it didnt have significant changes.
Can someone help me please? Google also cant find a detailed explanation on this matter, only different settings.
pd: i dont mean disabling it in settings menu, because it activates itself again.
I´ve read that in some devices, service menu gives the option to disable some sort of power saving mode, but in this model codes wont work (*#*#4636#*#* wont give that option)

Freeze the app if you are rooted ..... Or disable using a guide posted in general forum

power.saving.mode
first of all, thanks for answering.
If i do so, the whole energy option dissapears...is it possible to do so without sacrificing the whole thing?.
maybe it would be easier to customize it, i mean, set it to launch at 5% instead of 14%, but i have to look how as i dont have a clue to do so, or even if its possible.
and finally, i dont know if im saying this correctly, Eid Mubarak to you and your family!

hidden menu from the dialer?

I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, I'm not a techie and this is my first post here... I upgraded to the s4 from the dinc2 a couple months ago. I've been searching for a hack for the stock mobile hot spot, similar to the one for the dinc (where you access the hidden menu from the dialer using #778). I can't seem to find any hidden menus on the galaxy s4. I've searched the forums and tried some of the dialer codes suggested but none of them are working. At one point, I was able to get to a screen allowing me to select either enable or disable edit mode. I selected enable but I couldn't go any further, there were no options to move forward or actually edit anything and I haven't been able to get back to it ever since. But, by getting at least that far I'm led to believe its possible for this to work If I knew what I was doing (obviously, I do not. Lol)
All other suggestions I've found have been for root but I'm not interested in rooting. Again, I'm not rooted and I'm updated to 4.3. Basically what I'm searching for is a way to access that service programming menu from the dialer on the Verizon S4... Any ideas?
Anyone?

What your trying to do is possible, but is not possible without root, because in order to access the hidden menus witch are turned off by default you must edit the build.prop file that is located in the system folder of your phone witch is write protected. Now you could root your phone and then apply the edit, then after doing what you need to do just un-root the phone (if that's something your interested in doing).

Network mode LTE/WCDMA? *#*#4646#*#* in dialer not working

Hello,
got a new S6 Edge today. Awesome phone...
I want to change network mode. I know there is a detailed menu when typing *#*#4646#*#*
But this does not work on Samsung phones wtf? It worked on Nexus 4, One M7... I'm kind of pissed know.
As I already updated to 5.1.1 there is no option for me to root without touching KNOX. Didn't know this when started the update.
Are there any other options to open the menu or change network mode? Please help

i have the same issue on mate 10, after enable "usb debugging" and exit developer menu then debugging will gone.
I can confirm that settings regarding Bluetooth are not saved...
Update your firmware version. Mine do the same with initial firmware. Fixed after update.

i'm on B126 firmware (funkyhuawei method)
127(C432) Same here.
Problem is solved with a factory reset
127(C432) Same here. A factory reset didn't do anything. Seems to be a problem with the firmware. Probably have to wait for an update unless someone finds a workaround.
My mate 10 pro is the same on 128 software. Wont save any bluetooth developer settings. Blue tooth sounds crap, it's not even close to my old iPhone for sound quality.
Im having same problem why wont developer options save on my Samsung Galaxy A71, can someone really explain why this is happening when all my software are up to date. I hope this a common issue and will be fixed or is this a defective or hacked phone ?
Developer options not saving on android.

E5823 - Radio Band Mode setting mistake preventing all calls

I'm new to the forum, and did try searching for relevant threads first, but possibly due to poor use of the search tool haven't found a solution.
I'm living in the UK and have an Xperia Z5 Compact E5823 with build number 32.4.A.1.54 which has been working wonderfully for years.
To my great regret, I was too hasty while looking around the menu found using *#*#4636#*#* and seem to have caused a serious problem with no simple solution. I was looking in Phone Information > overflow menu > Select Radio Band which brought up a box called "Set Radio Band Mode" which only had one option of "United States" which I fatefully pressed instead of backing out of that option.
Though I didn't realize it immediately, the phone now seems completely unable to make phone calls, though data is still working.
While I've never dealt with rooting before, I consider myself relatively capable when it comes to computers and technology, just haven't had the need to dig into android much before. What little I've found online seems to indicate that simple steps like a Factory Reset won't work. I'm willing to try whatever's needed in order to restore functionality, but didn't want to waste any more time or cause any more problems than I already have by trying things blindly.
I would be most appreciative of any help or thoughts about what to try to resolve this. Thanks.
Hi,
I'm pretty new to the phone, but did you already take a look at the service menu (*#*#service#*#*), particularly under "Service Info" - "Configuration" to figure out what exactly might have been set incorrectly?
Cheers,
r.

I think you should make a software repair with the tool Xperia Companion
Thanks for the input
I did look through service menu mentioned, but was unable to correct the accidently changed Radio Band Mode setting.
I tried to use Xperia Companion to perform a backup, but couldn't get it to work. I didn't try a software repair, that may have been a good solution.
I ended up performing a factory data reset, and though it was a bit of a pain to get everything setup again on my phone, it did succeed in fixing the problem with the Radio Band Mode.

Good you got it working again, though you had to take the brute-force route.
Would you mind sharing what the service menu revealed in terms of the wrong bands?
I didn't actually make any notes on the band information displayed, as I already knew my phone wasn't able to make calls. Without seeing any way of reactivating bands from that menu I moved on to other possible solutions.
