[Q] entering into ServiceMode - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, users of I9195!
We are (users of 9195 in Russia) have a trubble with network of this model. It was found that some Samsung phones have default AQUISITION ORDER like UMTS->GSM. I.e. UMTS has higher priority than GSM. And this is a problem. Because there is not so good 3g coverage. And when you are in that area, and level of 3g goes down, we have no network signal at all. For a few seconds (tens of seconds). After that phone is again registered in the network in GSM (2g) mode. May be the problem is not in AQUISITION ORDER, but I would like to test it.
So I need to enter into servise mode (to see DEBUG SCREEN). I know that it was possible using *#0011#-back-input key 1-back. But in my firmware it is impossible.
Could you please try to enter this mode and then say if it was successfull what firmware (modem) you are using.
Great thanks!

in new firmware samsung is blocking the full servicemode

You can just manually select the mode to 2G only?

yes, I can use only GSM, but I don't want to do so. Because I constantly use mobile internet.

yes, I also know it. That's why I've asked for the version of firmware where it works.

[Q] HELP! GS not conneting to network

I flashed JG5 using Odin (removed sim and sd card) after that i did the modaco r3. Now it does not connect to the mobile network. PLEASE HELP
Did you flash all three files (pda,phone and csc)?
Also, are you talking about mobile network for calls/texts or data only?
Thank you for responding.
Yes i flashed all together.
My Calls / Text is not working...the status bar does not show the connection.
I thought the problem was with the task killer hence that too has been un installed.
I did notice that when i switched sim cards and restarted the network came on but the phone would restart and the network would disappear.

Thanks for the reply. Isnt APN used primarily to connect to EDGE / GPRS. Is it required for registering on a mobile network because as of now the phone is not registering on the mobile network.
Need help urgently...hence bumping
Set up your apn again. Trust me

APN---Done that it did not help.
Sometimes i get the signal strength bars but when i dial a number it does not connect it just says Dialing.
This is getting very frustrating.
should i try to flash another firmware...if so please point me to a mirror site as the samsung firmware site is down since the past few days.
Yes, you probably should try a different firmware. Try JM2 from my mirror. (see signature, download is fastest if you run wuala. direct http downloads may be slow at times)

Thanks for the reply...Downloading JM2 in progress from your site.
One doubt...are firmwares region specific or anything goes ??
Once i flash i will update this post and i pray that it works
The content of the f/ws is region specific (additional languages and apps that only work in some countries). However, they all work on the your device!

Flashed JM2...same problem HELP!!
Should i format my internal if that is what is causing the problem...because i am not able to figure out the exact problem.
I have the same problem. I bought my GS from USA and I try to use it in Europe. I flashed it both European and America firmwares but I couldn't solve the problem.
When I press *#1234#, it shows that "Phone: Unknown" and *#06# responses nothing.
When i insert the sim card of another operator the phone works. My original operators sim works on other mobiles except this galaxy s. Any tips on why or how to check.
I'm having the same problem, any help to fix this would me really great!
It seems that the galaxy s is not connecting on 1800mhz after flashing. It connects on networks using 900 mhz. Any way to check this on the phone
This is weird. I tried using the phone from another location and it worked. I think this has to do something with the cell tower near my home location.
Hi guys,
I was able to re-flash the original firmware and all works again. If you guys want to go that way here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 I think this is just for the Vibrant but I'm sure you can find the other firmware on the forums.

[Q] 3G advanced configuration (help me please)

Hello there, this is my problem...
I flashed my phone and now I can't make 3G work. I have tried all this:
- call to my phone company and enter the exact parameters in configuration (user, password, server, etc)
- flash with another custom ROM
- flash with the original stock of my country (Chile) (via Odin, from Doky73 firmwares)
- backup from another GT-S5360L and restore in my phone
- enter into the servicemode *#*#197328640#*#*
Nothing of this have worked.
PLEASE HELP ME!
¿DO YOU KNOW A 3G ADVANCED CONFIGURATION MENU?
¿IS POSSIBLE THAT 3G IS GONE FOREVER?
HMM...
Did you try changing ur network mode to WCDMA? If its on auto mode then change it.. if still u dont get 3g or the H sign near ur network then its the fault of ur service provider

yes i tried changing to only WCDMA and I lost the signal.
I put the my SIM in another SGY and I changed to only WCDMA configuration and 3G is totally ok... =/
Maybe your current location doesn't have strong enough signal for your SIM card, try changing location
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA
It seems to be a really weird problem.. try asking your service provider for 3g setting FOR galaxy y. If it still doesnt work then ur 3G receptor is not working.
try turning on the packet data, and switch to WCDMA only.
if it does not work turn off packet data, then goto flight mode switch to GSM only and back to WCDMA and turn on packet data again. this also happens on my phone sometimes.

Cannot access service mode on Sammy 4.3

Hi all
I'm currently having a problem with entering service mode
When I was on 4.1.2, I usually used *#197328640# or *#0011# then press menu>back to go to main menu of service mode that would look like this.
However, once I updated to 4.3, I could not use *#197328640# code anymore. *#0011# would send me to the page that shows cell site data, but I could not go back to main page.
I need to use service mode to set certain frequency that I would want my phone to connect to i.e only connect to WCDMA 2100, not 850 or 900.
Furthermore, under service menu, I could check whether WB AMR was successfully enabled or not.
Already tried replacing servicemode.apk from 4.1.2 rom with no success.
Anyone know how I could enter service menu on 4.3 sammy rom?
This menu wont' come up on Omega, DrKetan and Official Sammy 4.3 rom.
:crying::crying::crying:
I have the same issue after upgrading.
I use to dial *#0011# then menu>back then menu>keyinput> type "1". I imagine they've just made in more complicated because too many people found out about it.
Please post if you know how to do it now.

[Q] Accidentally changed the freq bands via *#*#4636#*#*

Hi,
while i was messing around with the network setting via *#*#4636#*#* menu, I accidentally selected the USA bands, and it has caused me to not able to make any phone calls or even be connected to the network.
It does not allow me to change back to the default bands I was - international
Understand that this seems to be quite common mistakes across different devices.
But specifically for Desire 816, anyone can help me with this? My device is not rooted (i'd like to keep it taht way) and bought unlock.
Anyone? I'd be super grateful! Panicking like crazy right now...

Hey its simple and worked on mine!
Got to *#*#4636#*#*, then enable Flight mode using the Power menu, or your status bar toggle, then click Select Radio Band and you should see Automatic, now before you select it, disable flight mode. Hope it works, else in order to reset RSD settings, you need to factory reset (unless u root ofc)

Network Signal Dropping after update to 6.0M (Poland)

When i bought D855p it came with 4.4, then i updated to 5.1, all official. After this i installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 and everything were fine. But when i installed 6.0(poland) my network signal keeps droping the intire day, it changes to UMTS and HSPA. I cant use my phone as a phone. The only way to solve this is, every time that i turn off the cel or put in airplane mode, is enter in MOBILE NETWORKS > NETWORK OPERATORS > SEARCH NETWORKS and choose GSM. (but i need to do this EEEEEVERY TIME that my cel turns off/airplane mode).
6.0 is the only ROM that i can choose GSM and the signal keep ~stable~. At least i can use my phone as a phone !
I did a backup of my IMEI before installing cm12 as well.
Things that i already tried :
-Flash ALL modem (ALL) , including 21C.
-intall cm13 and after cm12. Using TWRP 2.8 and 3.0.
-stock 4.4 , 5.0 , 5.1 and again 6.0. Using LGFlashTools
-MANY factory resets and wipes !
anybody can help me ? :good:
Same issue. I am on stock 4.4 and mobile network signal keeps dropping on weak signal area. I set to gsm/edge mode to mobile network. But nothing goes fine.

Doesn't work , sadly :crying:
i also tried to put in Network mode : GSM/WCDMA ( worked ) but when i choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto , signal drops every time. It is a solution to do this, but i cant use my LTE, and it sucks ...
Disable VOLTE n go to ur models service menu (check google) for me it was
*#546368#*851# (my model = d851)
*#546368#*XXX# (ur model=D8XX) verizon sprint numbers are differently
go to field test >network mode>set GSM permanently (try different gsm 850,990,etc)
Back > RAT selection > select GSM
U cant have network problems now cuz ur permanently set to gsm dont use 3g or 4g use wifi
hit like it helps

I'm sad to hear that. Try also flashing modem 21C. There are also other guides for restoring your signal around the forum, different things seem to work for different people.
