Hi Everyone,
Need help. I've been trying so hard to access my Note 5's Service mode to try and test if my Fingerprint scanner is working (as I keep on getting the dreaded error whenever I try to access Fingerprints) but to no avail. I keep getting Connection problem or invalid MMI code error message no matter what code I try. Any suggestions? I'm using this phone in the Philippines by the way with a non AT&T sim card. My phone is not rooted.
Thanks in advance for your help!
:good:
Are you talking about *#8736364#

Yes this is the one.
This is the correct keypad code and has worked since the release firmware and still does on marshmallow. You know you are supposed to enter this in the phone app dialer right? The fingerprint test is in Sensors on that codes page.

Hi ToxicDev,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately tried that as well but also did not work. Do you think this is because I am not in the U.S. and I am not using an AT&T sim?
Thank you in advance for the help!

No clue, but that may be the case. This is my first Samsung let alone Android phone. Anyone else know if the *#0*# is only for AT&T?

Is there a specific setting on the phone that I need to turn on to make me able to do this?
Thanks!

As far as I know yes. I have stock rom, i am not rooted and I dont use Nova, Apex or any of those 3rd party launchers. Any way to know if I have a stock dialer?
Really appreciate all of you taking time to help me on this guys! Thanks!

I just noticed something. I Checked Application Maneger in Settings 》scrolled ro the right to the All tab and I have Phone Applications. All are version 1.0.0. 1 is 100kb and the 2 others are 8kb in size. All 3 are activated. I cleared cache on the 2 8kb sized Phone app and forced stop them both. Tried *#873636# on the dialer = same error, tried *#0*# = same error.
Can I ask help from you guys how many phone apps do you have in the All tab in Application Manager? If 3, which is the one activated?
Many thanks in advance guys!

I had to disable Package Disabler entirely (deactivate it from device admin rights) to get service mode (*#0*#) to work.

Hi Jack Man,
Where can I find Package Disabler? My Device Admin contains only:
Lookout > set to on or Activated
MobileIron > for my work email set to on or Activated
Android Device Manager > set to On or activated
Outlook Delivery Policy > set to off or Deactivated
Can it be found in any of those?
Thanks in advance!

It's just an app that can be purchased in the Google play Store that is used to disable things on the phone that can't be disabled through the phone's normal application manager. If you haven't installed it, it's not on your phone
Hi Jack Man,
I got Package Disabler now installed. Whats my next step?

You simply asked what Package Disabler is. I never said you needed it to get you service mode working. If *#0*# wasn't working before, installing that app isn't going to help.
I'm not sure I understand what your motive is. At the beginning of this thread you said you're trying to check if your fingerprint scanner is working. After looking at the options in my service mode menu, I don't even see anything regarding the scanner.
After re-examining the service menu (*#0*#), there is a fingerprint sensor test under the general sensor test area.
I don't know why you're not able to access it, though.

Have sprint locate via MSID or serial number. unless if the phone is off it won't work. you can only have track them a phone that is on your account, but since its your phone it won't be a problem.
If your still signed in to your account on the phone. Go to the play store on a PC and install "plan b" to the lost phone. Obviously if the phone has been wiped this won't work.

Just shows how much "control" they have over our devices!
I could see ADM being a big deal for Nexus owners or people who own phones that the manufacturer doesn't provide a wipe/tracking feature for. Samsung's Find My Mobile (ex-Dive) has been around for two years and has more features than Google's ADM. Does anyone see any features or benefits ADM provides over Find My Mobile?

if we track phone using samsung dive or use any feature like fetching call records, phone gets notification about task done, where as using ADM... no notification comes...

And notification's a bad thing? What if someone hacks your Google account and is tracking you via ADM or maliciously sends a wipe command to your phone? Without any notification you'd have no idea. The first thing I'd do on FMM if I truly lost my phone is remote lock it, even before tracking it. The lock command you send to the device allows you to have a 100 character message appear on the lock screen along with a number to call about returning the phone. Which by the way isn't something you can even do (yet) with ADM. Once it's locked the person who finds it (or stole it) can't do anything with it including turning off its wireless signal(s) or reading notifications. And if the phone's in your possession and you track it, ring it or pull a call log who cares that there's a notification? I kind of see your point though in that if the phone's been intentionally stolen the thief could see the FMM tracking notice in the notification bar (there's no audible alert) if the phone wasn't locked first. But a thief that knows Android would immediately hard reset the phone (or disable Wi-Fi and mobile data) right after stealing it which renders both ADM and FMM useless anyway.
It's useless if ur phone is stolen. But very useful if u forgot where u placed your phone. Getting it to ring enables me to find My phone much easier instead of calling myself
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
All of this is useless because it is enough for someone that steals/finds your phone to take out the SIM card and no way any software can tell you where it is... so it is very limited help.
Will this require the internet to be turned on my phone?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
Yup. It basically connects to your samsung account which your phone is logged on to. A hard reset will remove your samsung account login details so this is really useless if stolen.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
What about hardreset? Will ADM survive from a hardreset?
Don't expect too much since it's an added free feature. I'm personally using Cerberus which have full of features and I don't compare the two side by side. Maybe you don't need it now but this small new feature will be of help when you really need it.
Like, at all...
Settings -> Security = Crash for me :T
My phone keeps saying "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" whenever I click on Security in Settings.
I'm not sure when exactly this started, but I've only just noticed it today.
The only thing different I've noticed was that when I opened S-Health, I got another window for an update and just did it anyways without really thinking at all. For all I know it could have been an unrelated update for my phone I suppose.
Is there anyway to find out what's wrong?
Can I fix this without factory resetting?
Try clearing the data for settings?

I can't seem to delete this thread, but after a Googling a bit more, I found out that the problem was the s-view case with Verizon models d: also, you can change the settings in safe mode if you don't feel like taking off the case s:
I have the same problem it appears that there is a nother third-party app that's causing the pro I don't know which app it is.
But I can access security if I do a reboot into safe mode. When you need to access security try that.

You are doing this from within an app. The home screen doesn't have settings.
Edit: OK you're apparently doing this from the phone app. Those quick replies have nothing to do with wear, they are the options you have when dismissing a call on the device.

sadly it DID work the first time I edited the nesus messages.. the moto sent the edited message out.. the next day back to default messages. i talked to a motorola rep, she dug a bit and found an internal memo stating these messages were defaultand CAN NOT BE EDITED
This is a basic function here, this should be easily edited at any time. the fact that my unit did use the ones from the nexus 6 kinda tells me it read the nexus messages, then some update or internal setting over-road them......
this must be fixed there is NO reason why I shouldnt be able to use my custome responses....
Just tried to do precisely the same thing. Disappointed to find that changes to the stock quick responses on the N6 don't filter through to the Moto 360.
I updated my Note 5, and now whenever I select a word, scroll over to the "Dictionary" option and click it, it does NOTHING. If I go into all apps and open up the dictionary app, it'll have the word I tried to define in the history, but it doesn't pop up anymore. Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
