[Hypnotic2010]

Found this over at Android Central. Thanks to egg_head

I waiting to see the missing Tv-Out functions!

Egg_head has discovered that Samsung devices seem to have quite a string of hidden menus. Now, these menus are apparently found on all Samsung devices, just not in the same location, but they can sure do some nifty things. Ranging from a full device shut down by holding the end key button to various different audio settings these additional menus can allow even more customization then we had even imagined.


For Epic users:

TESTED AND FUNCTIONING WORKAROUND (thanks Aero!):

Enter GPS debug/settings application by typing *#1472365#

Updated above info. Wherever instructed to enter an SPC code, dial 000000. The differs from Sprint customers who have to enter an MSL code, which they typically don't have.

Ok, so I checked and you DO need testmode enabled to enter these menus.
I already had test mode enabled which is why I was able to get into them.
To enable test mode, do this:

Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.

Now you can use these codes.

Hell yes!
After a few hours trying to uncover the dialing code string for the Fascinate, I finally figured it out!
I've dug into *almost* all the AndroidManifest.xmls to compose a list of hidden menus you can gain access to.

I shouldn't have to say it, but I will..
I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.
Play with these things at your own risk.
Even if I said it's been tested by me and confirmed to work.
It's not my fault if your phone takes a crap on you.
Make a backup of your phone.

I will be doing some more testing and will uncover more hidden menus, but this is what I have for now..

Some members were unable to enter these menus and I discovered that you need to enable 'Hiddenmenu' to do so.
To enable this menu, do this:

Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.

Now you can use these codes.


The dialing code string you have to use is *##

Here are some things you can gain access to


Audio Tuning
*#28346#
Several audio tuning menus.
I've only tested the two items below:

To silence boot and shutdown audio go to Situation/BOOTSOUND and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.

To silence the volume key audio when turning the volume up/down go to Situation/VOLUMEKEY and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.


Full Bat Popup
*#3844228#
This allows you to disable the full battery pop-up.
I have tested this and it works successfully.


HwCodec
*#0002*28346#
Audio path volume controls. Most importantly, it looks like there's a sidetone adjustment.
I have not tested any of these items yet.


Shutdown
*#7594#
This enables you to shut your phone off by long-pressing the power/lock key.
No more pop-up confirmation.
I have tested this and it works successfully.
I've also discovered by doing this, it will disable the puzzle/glass unlock screen.
Personally, having to push a button and slide the screen is redundant.
I like the one-step process.


Diag/Testing Mode
*#4636*1111#

sweet.. thanks for this.. the only one that doesnt work for me is the full batt pop up.. nothing comes up when i enter the code. all the other ones work fine..This is the main one i need to

[Unknown Zone]

A "thanks" given...lol, that bat full popup is a killer and the "Shutdown" also looks like a good one to have..

Same here with the Codes for the Bat Popup, does not work, how did you get the "audio" settings to stick, every time i reboot the phone the settings go back. Only the "Shutdown" stuck and I like the way it shuts down now nice.

[sp4rtan5]

is it just me or did you all poop your undies when u say all the info in those menus? All from how many mp3s to how mny contacs u have and finaly what programs u use. this hidden data explains how a member in here called about his epic having horrible battery life and the sprint agent said " why u using taskkiller?" lol. he asked here if anyone knew how in the heck the CS AGET KNEW THAT. SCARY.

[Major_Nate]

Sweetness!

The full battery doesnt work... which is the only one I really care about
