Droid Tech - Codes?

[Trever1t]

I've come across codes on these forums to access programming and diagnostics but for the life of me can't seem to find them in a search. Can someone list all the 'codes' in this or another thread and make it a sticky please?

 

[Trever1t]

Oh come on, can someone please post the Programming/Diagnostic access codes here?

 

[Droids]

I searched and found this thread in the hacks forum
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/1553-diagnostic-mode-anybody.html

Is that not what you wanted?

 

[Trever1t]

No, but thanks! I'm looking for the code to oppen the diagnostic on the droid...it was a code like *#*#""""#*#* but i forget the middle 4 digits....for the M DROID

EDIT: [bangs head on laptop keys] Sorry, yes.

*#*#INFO#*#* was what I was looking for.

The only code I know is
##7764726 (##PROGRAM)
CALL Button
Enter SPC Password - 000000
VERIFY
04 Vocode
Select EVRC-B

This will change how the phone compresses and decompresses call audio


hope this helps

I don't see "preferred network type" as a choice on this menu. Are you talking about the ##7764726 menu?

Nah it's in the *#*#info#*#* menu under phone info, towards the bottom. "set preferred network type".

so is the goal of Motorola and Verizon to make sure the caller's audio sounds as horrible as possible? if this is true then what is the point?

No one seems to be able to answer it. I read somewhere else that "its not available everywhere so if you are in a place like that you wont be able to make calls."

this doesn't make sense. as you guys realize 95% of Droid users will never change the setup.

Hypocondriac'ism or legitimate?

Great. I like to know these things ( subscribing to the thread)

Google it. Seems to be a new CODEC. Supposedly provides better encoding when supported (that being the major caveat). It clearly isn't ready to be enabled all over the network so they set the Droid up to use a safe CODEC that's available everywhere. Makes perfect sense. You just jumped to the incorrect conclusion.

It is actually quite foreward thinking on their part (I know I am shocked too). This codec is not quite ready for prime time. but when it is... it is on the phone and ready to go... a quick dial to *228 (which the recommend everybody does "periodically" would enable them to change it over on the fly in markets as it becomes available.

Some people are just jumping the gun, and in a case like this the phrase "Your mileage may vary" really applies, as if your market isn't ready for this, you are going to get no better (and possibly worse) results.
