How to access ServiceMode on Samsung Galaxy S6 Active? - Galaxy S6 Active

I've tried most of the codes that I could find in order to access Service Mode/Menu on S6 Active but no luck so far.
If anyone was able to access it please put the code(s) here.
Thanks

*#0011"

I still await for a code(s) to have acces to the Full Service Mode

what part of the service menu are you trying to access? *#2263# opens network setting and *#9090# opens another service menu but its blank but if you hit menu then select back then menu again and hit key input and inter Q then key select again and enter 0000 it will open DIAG control.

Are u talking about the hardware and sensors testing? Thats *#0*#

2263 is the right code but AFAIK you need root to launch the code. I used Phone INFO before to do that in my S6, so I supposed it should be the same with the Active.

*#2263# - it's blank
*#*#4636#*#* - network settings
I'm looking to get to the Main Service Mode menu. For example on SG S4 it was *#0011# and then Q0000,but it's not the same for SG S6 Active.
There's no root yet for this device so Phone Info app is not working either.

Rooting and Band Selection

I have exhausted every option known to me trying to get access to manual network band selection on the Captivate. The usual codes take me to the correct place, but I get an error message saying it's restricted. My question is will rooting the phone give me access to those menu options? I want the ability to lock the phone to GSM/EDGE or WCDMA at will. If anyone knows a solution to this, please let me know. To clarify: I am not looking to just turn off data and the *#*#info#*#* route doesn't work. Thanks.
Can anyone with a rooted Captivate confirm that you can or cannot access the menu to lock to GSM?

Hi,
No need to Root the phone at all. Just dial *#*#4636#*#* then click on "phone Information" scroll down to the drop down menu & click on it, click on "WCDMA" only & go back. done

This does not affect our phone. It does nothing.

What do you mean by "it does nothign"? I did it & working.
Setting 3G only or 2G only
I found out that if you go into the dialer and type in *#*#197328640#*#* that it will take you into a menu that will allow you to change it. From the main menu of the ServiceMode screen, select DEBUG SCREEN, then PHONE CONTROL at the bottom, then UE STATE CONTROL. From there select CHANGE RAT TO WCDMA to enable 3G only, and select CHANGE RAT TO GSM for 2G only.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't survive a reboot but it's a start.

thanks for this.
but to take this a bit further, is there any way to automate this via a widget?
^Not from a widget in the market
They tend to wind up turning data off all together. Im sure it can be done though

Phone settings, wireless and network, network mode. I don't know if it's present in all roms though. There you can change the network band type

You have been mixed up....
Clear your mind,
*#????# - service menu is service menu,
root is root,
These are two different thing.
I'm not sure if band selection is disabled on all Captivate roms (it definitely is on some) but I have ran a number of I9000-based ones, all of which permitted band selection. Try dialing *#2263# to enter service mode and see if you're able to select the desired band. I'm using Perception 10.1, on which I can use this to modify the band settings and it is retained through a reboot.
I'm running perception 10 and there is an option in settings>wireless and network>mobile network>network mode> wcdma only or GSM only or auto.

Band selection in settings is only in I9000-based roms!!! It's non-available in Cappy-based roms!

I agree and tried but google really doesn't like when you put * or # in the search bar. Even with quotes around them.
There's some listed on the Wikipedia n1 page...

Show Mobile "mobile networks" menu" and access point names

Hey guys i have a AT&T GALAXY S6 EDGE and i want to use it on diffrent carrier.
I root my galaxy s6 and now i need to get the Mobile Netowrks menu.
It seems to be hidden on the "Connection--> More Connection settings"
I need a option to choose a networks and ADD/EDIT access point names.
what should i do? which options i need to edit on the build.prop file ?
Thanks
I own a rooted AT&T S6 Edge and the Mobile Network menu is under Settings-->Connections. For me it is NOT hidden. Did you sim unlock your S6 Edge so you can use it on a different carrier? Are you looking for the APN settings using the sim of the carrier that you want to use? The phone being rooted does not mean that it can be used on a differente carrier.

US Cellular Note 5(N920R4) ON CRICKET - keeps switching to Verizon -

I have US Cellular N920R4 (NOTE 5) and trying to get it to work on Cricket -
Step 1- The phone was factory reset before putting in Cricket sim, after booting under setting >> Mobile Networks>> Network mode - I set it to LTE/GSM/UMTS
Step - 2 Under Network Operators - I selected the manual option and searched for providers - the search showed AT&T, Verizon and US cellular - I selected AT&T
Step -3 Under APN - I manually added Cricket APN -
Now I do get AT&T for a short time, I'm able to make and receive calls and SMS - Also get 4G in my menu - but after a few minutes I loose AT&T and the phone reverts to Verizon -
Can someone suggest what could be the issue ?
Also can someone share how to get to hidden menu band option (On other versions it is possible to get to it using *#2263#) and is there an option to change "System Select" under mobile networks to be changed from "CDMA roaming mode" ?

There's an app in the playstore called Samsung Phone Info and it has a function that will launch the full service mode root menu allowing you to get to all the available service screens, I'd just search that and download the free version by vndnguyen....
