Dialer codes not working - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I have an unbranded (unlocked) Note 8 straight from Samsung. None of the dialer/hidden codes work. Any idea how to enable them?

What have you tried? I have the same and they work. There's no setting to enable/disable

I don't know what to try to be honest. They just don't work. I've tried the usual ones *#1234#, *#*#4636#*#* etc. None work, the phone just does nothing.

You can use a shortcuts app to do the hidden codes. A bunch of them work. I accidentally enabled some stupid on-screen display thing so when I do power off it displays some messages that tell me it is sending a shutdown command. Now I can't remember which one it was to turn that thing off....

I believe you want *#9900# then scroll down to the shutdown option

That has a similar setting, this time the culprit was me changing the build.prop to say my device type was userdebug instead of just user. Changed it back and voila, no more shutdown text!

Still not working for me. I even did a factory reset and tried the dialer codes before even inserting a SIM card (thought Verizon provisioning played a trick on my unbranded N8). Any idea why they aren't working?

What are these codes for, again?

hidden menus for adjusting or testing various settings, as far as i can tell.

These work (unlocked note 8)
*#011# service mode
*#9090# diagnostic information
*#0*# hardware diagnostic
*#7353# quick test menu
This is not exhaustive, just me trying stuff out.

Yeah.... none of these work for me. None at all. I'm kinda fed up with all the small nagging issues. The phone is going back to Sammy. I'll just go get one from Verizon store.

Got a Verizon branded phone. These do not work str8 from vzw either. But vzw phones are unlocked either way. Verizon has disabled the ability to enter in codes from dialer.

This is exactly why I as well as others are questioning why there aren't carrier specific forums for the Note 8 as there have been for every other note. There is too much confusion when we're all on the same forum to solve these problems. You have people posting how to do this or that but it doesn't work for every model/carrier.
You have to go to
/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu
And change the setting from off to on... but root is needed.

I sure did.

I have an OEM unlocked unbranded 950f and can't use dialer or phone info *samsung* app to launch codes. I tried efs/carrier and it doesn't exist.

(Almost) No secret/dialer codes
When I try to use the phone info app to use secret codes I get a whole bunch of errors and can't access any of the secret codes any help would be appreciated

Try entering them manually in dialer. *#77467# takes me to ims settings. On Tmobile. Other carriers lock theres so root is needed.

flash this firmware 1000000% will work:good:

This is a struggle ive been working with since switching to Vzw. I did the same thing. I started the phone without a SIM and the dialer codes work. Once I put the SIM in, the phone said it needed to restart to apply carrier settings. Once it restarted, the dialer codes no longer worked. Samsung must have special coding to lock this down once a Vzw SIM is inserted.

THIS DOES NOT WORK ON THE NEW ROM BASE! I WILL COME UP WITH AN ALTERNATE SOLUTION WHEN I HAVE TIME.​
Hey guys, I've put my improving Java skills (thanks college!) to use and made a free app to help you with SIM unlocking your Sprint HTC One. I couldn't think of a good name, but I think the name is self-explanatory I made a post in the General and Q&A threads that involved SIM unlocking, but then I figured it would be best to make a dedicated thread for the app so that (hopefully) I'm not being asked for help with the unlocking process, but just for app issues/suggestions. This will allow your phone to use 3G (HSPA+) and 1900Mhz coverage areas on T-Mobile and AT&T. I'll just copy and paste from Google Play so you don't have to click on a link
Description
This is a simple ad-free application to aid in SIM Unlocking your Sprint HTC One. SIM Unlocking allows you to use any GSM SIM card in the phone, not just the one that comes with the phone. This allows you to save money with your choice of SIM if you're overseas or to unlock a Sprint HTC One for use with a US GSM carrier.
This app will ONLY work on the Sprint HTC One on a Sense ROM. If you're on a custom ROM, it might not have the HTC hidden menu this app opens for you. AOSP ROMs don't have that either. Please don't try this on any other devices, as the app checks the device it's installed on and will FAIL. Please also make sure you're rooted, the app checks for that as well.
Please don't rate 1 star if the app doesn't work for you, it worked for me 100%. Make sure you read everything here and then contact me, I will help you.

If this method (or similar) works for other One's on different carriers, please let me know and I will make this app compatible with more phones. If you want to try it but you don't know if this method works on your phone, contact me and we'll talk about a test version, but I will not be held liable if you brick your phone.
Please post if you have any issues with the app (you can email me a log from the Menu) or if you have any suggestions. For general SIM unlocking talk, this is not the place for it. Please visit the thread in General or the one in Q&A. Thanks and enjoy

and you told me you weren't interested in sim unlock... ;]
Okay excuse the noob questions but I just got the phone a couple weeks ago. So what your saying is that this is a Sprint phone that takes SIM cards and I can throw in a AT&T, T-Mobile or one of the off brand carrier's SIM cards and it will work? I'm assuming 3G only right? No 4G or HSPA+?
3G is HSPA+ on T-mobile and AT&T but yea you can use it in 1900 Mhz coverage areas on AT&T or T-mobile.

For the super lazy, maybe add some code to start the app needed and select wcdma for us.
Awesome app as is though, thanks!

if you start "TestAPIActivity" instead of "TestMainActivity", it takes you straight to the "API" menu, so people don't have to tap on "API".
it also might be a good idea to warn people to be careful not to tap on other things in the "API" menu.

I tried this with a coworkers Tmo sim and I could receive calls and texts directed to him, but it showed no signal and "emergency calls only". I had my phone unlocked via Sprint for international travel (which worked well), so I am not sure if this has anything to do with it not working.
There are also a couple of typos you might want to fix... "then scroll down AND tap" and "change Preferred Network Type FROM WCDMA Preferred to switch to GSM ONLY." Mine was actually set to CDMA + LTE/EvDo, but I don't think that matters much.
Sim unlock help
Hi ,
i followed the instructions as you have suggested, and I went to the dealer shop to try with another network ( mine was Sprint) but still it doesnt pick up the signal when i change to GSM mode, when i switch to CDMA the signal blinks .

I got T-Mobile 15 minutes ago on WCDMA Preferred. Make sure you go to mobile network setting and register onto the respective GSM Network.

[Q] Ok Google Everywhere option gone

I had this option turned on and was using it just a few hours ago. After restarting my phone, OK Google no longer works from anywhere except the Google app and the option in the settings is completely gone. Does anybody have any idea what may have caused the option to go away?
Same issue with me and its annoying.
Same issue here. Thought I was going crazy.
Same here, but I just bought it 12 hours ago. Been trying to make it work since.

Whoops, just realized this is in the T-Mobile forum. I've got an AT&T Edge, same problem.
I found a work around with using the Nova Launcher. There is an okay Google option as you'll see with the attachment that works for me on any screen that I'm on. You have to have the premium version I think not sure about that but anyways for what it's worth
I believe it may have something to do with new Google play services that was just pushed. Option was enabled, but, when updated GPS to 7.3.28, function stopped and option disappeared.
Same here
Since Friday evening I've been going through every single setting on my S6 Edge. I had the phone since April 4th, where I had ok google everywhere, but not "trusted voice" in the Smart Lock settings. I restored my phone 2 times now, thinking the first restore got rid of Ok Google Everywhere. I now see others are having the same issue which is great!
I don't know if this has anything to do with it but check the version of Google Play Services. Last week Android Police posted an article about 7.3.27 and I saw their caution that you need to make sure you grab the right version for your device -- http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...d-wear-notification-dismissible-apk-download/ details how to decipher the salient version into. On my stock S6, I have -440 so I didn't update. Now, today, I see I've got 7.3.28 (1863718-440) -- It seems the 440 is an important part. So, I'm more current than the version in the Android Police article I cited and I have Trusted Voice and OK Google everywhere.

I just downloaded 7.3.28 (-440) and still do not have access to Ok Google Everywhere, also Trust Voice is still "off" no matter what.
another setting also vanished.
Lost OK Google from any screen yesterday. Checked settings and the only option is "From Google App". No any screen and no Trusted voice settings. ALSO noticed another setting that vanished. In phone settings the option to "turn off screen during calls" is gone. Now during phone calls my screen turns off, which I really don't want and I can't find a setting to uncheck it.

It is now fixed!!!!! simply go to the play store, or your application manager, uninstall updates and reinstall.

Unlimited hotspot tethering on sprint samsung galaxy s7

A alternate way of unlocking your hotspot on your galaxys7 without the need of root:good:
You are going to need the MSL code for you phone
Which can be obtained by calling customer service and asking them (this is the way i did it) or just go to you nearest sprint shop and ask them for the code.
(If they ask why you want the code, just say its for your personal info or interest)
Once you have your code, go to your phone dialer and dial the following: ##3282#
Than you will prompted to write your MSL code
After typing your code, you will be presented to a menu, on that menu you are going to search for "APN SETTINGS" than you are going to search for APN2 EHRPD Internet APN2 LTE internet, and on both you are going to search for the following: "default,mms"
And once you found the "default,mms", you are going to edit it to : default,mms,dun (just add: ",dun" at the end).
Once you have finished editing, just reboot your phone
And you just unlocked unlimited hotspot and tethering

Really thats wierd , because yesterday i called customer service for my msl, and than i proceeded to unlock the hotspot without no problem.
Also before i did recieve my msl code, i did try to unlock the hotspot feature just using SHORTCUT MASTER, but couldn't becuase it was grayedout and unable to be interactive.
But when i tryed using the methods that sprint technicians use (the msl code method) i was able to unlock the feature.

Here is the screenshot
Well **** didn't know that. What version are you running with U firmware
PG1 ..most recent
Shortcutmaster is easy, just type "Apn" in th he search engine, than look in the options that it provides you, tap on the apn option that end in the word settings ( ex. Apn................settings). And than you will be prompted to press " launch" (it a menu bar that says: launch,home,ect.) After that its the same procedure as if using a msl code
The only down fall to this, is that you need root for it to work ( to ungray the options need to fix). The things needed to unlock the apn's grayed.
But if it works for you without encountering any problems just share the info with others
Even the msl code method is showing up to some people grayed.
I tryed using both method on my fathers s7, and i encounterd this issue.
My guess is that it has to be with something with the build or serial number or some thing distinguish them from each other. Cuz for some it both methods work, but for others they need root to acomplish this.

Yo its true what you where saying about the apns being grayed out.
My guess is that its not in all samsung s7.
That's apparently sprint catching wind and doing something. Glad I don't take updates with new phones like that

Carrier branded startup page in Chrome. How to disable? (T-Mobile)

I'm new to getting a phone directly through my carrier, so maybe this is just something I'll need to live with. But my T-Mobile Galaxy S8 has a T-Mobile branded Google start page that always loads when I start Chrome. I've dug through settings and changed the homepage to www.google.com. However, no matter what I do I can't get the T-Mobile branded start page to stop appearing every time I load up Chrome.
Any ideas?

Root. Oh, you can't. This is why I'll never buy a phone I can't root. So, I totally control my own phone -- not the manufacturer, not the carrier I happen to be using. It's not their phone, it's mine.

I'm new to getting a phone directly through my carrier, so maybe this is just something I'll need to live with. But my T-Mobile Galaxy S8 has a T-Mobile branded Google start page that always loads when I start Chrome. I've dug through settings and changed the homepage to www.google.com. However, no matter what I do I can't get the T-Mobile branded start page to stop appearing every time I load up Chrome.
Any ideas?

Ok now I have a real reason to freaking try and flash another rom or something. I think some people said there is a common rom out there that can be flashed for any of the carriers. I can't stand seeing the annoying T-Mobile startup page in Chrome. I even tried the package disabler to disable the built in Chrome and when I install a new Chrome browser or even the Beta one from the PlayStore it does the same thing and keeps showing me a ridiculous startup page. They want to bloat us with ads and crap and hijack our default Google start pages even though we paid almost $800. It is getting ridiculous.

I had no trouble resetting the homepage either. Chrome, settings, homepage (on), click on the address, type in google.com, hit save, back out. Now it always opens how I want.
For those that are having trouble getting homepage to change. After saving new home page of your choice be sure to close the tab that is showing T-mobile and reopen chrome. Dont just back out. Otherwise you are just opening the same tab that already is directed to T-mobile.

Question VoWIFI and VoLTE

Hey guys,
I am on vodafone UK and do not have the options to enable volte or vowifi. All the guides talk about installing older logkit but it will not install due to a conflict. Tried factory reset and still the same.
Anyone managed to get this done?
TIA
uhm, I'm on Voda IE and I can see the option available under Settings->Mobile Network->SIMx.
Think the logkit way was just for previous devices.
Same issue here on Voda UK.
I can't even force the feature off and on again in my Voda account settings
I am apparently having VoLTE enabled in the settings on my T-Mobile SIM, IMS is registered and IMS state in activity launcher is "registered", but I can't see the icon of the VoLTE at all. But during the call I am still connected via LTE and data are working, so it does work somehow, but IMS modem is not updated or something like that.

I can switch it off and on in account settings on the app but makes no difference. Spoken to their tech help several times but they are not interested

I've never had VoLTE on a Voda handset, only ever VoWiFi.
Can you post / send the configuration data you received as I'm having no luck getting Voda to sort it out for me?

Did they ask you to text CALLING to 97888? Not sure if that's what did it for me. It takes over 24 hours but I never received the second text saying it was done.

It randomly pops up for me, Wifi calling only. No clue.

Yeah, I've tried that, but still not received anything, nor do I have the settings.
I think they've screwed my account after I swapped from an eSIM back to a physical SIM ASI can't turn WiFi calling on it off in the My Vodafone so any longer
