Access engineering mode for GSM/GPRS radio

[yoshac]

I came across this while browsing the registry on my Wizard

Enter the following in the dialpad as if it were a phone number:

*#*#364#*#*

You will access an engineering page which shows the cell tower you're connected to, and a whole lot of other radio-related info.

It does'nt work on mine.

Juste type *#*#364#*#* and press talk ?

But, you can activate it, by launching \windows\GSMTestMode.exe

Running on WM6

You have to enable it from the registry too using most ROMs.

Worked for me... Kind of cool...

I noticed the RSSI on "neighboring cell information" Does anyone know how to actually get a real dbm signal level?

can someone up the .exe and tell me which registry key to change

[padawan]

Didn't need the exe or do any reg editing for it to work here...
Just key in the # sequence as you would dial a #.

Just my .02c.

You must make sure that "HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\EngineerMode\BuildInEngineeringM odeApp" is set to "1"

I am very interested in this kind of functionality.
I have try dialing *#*#364#*#* but it does not work on HTC HD.
The \windows\GSMTestMode.exe is not in HTC HD
I could not find either the key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\EngineerMode\BuildInEngineering ModeApp".

Does anyone know how to activate it in HTC HD or an third party application?

after change something in registry you have to make a soft-reset

it works but i can't do anything in this menus :confused:

[cairel]

atmospherico, do you mean it works for you in a HTC HD?
what was the way you use?
You were talking about changes in the registry but, at least in my HTC HD, there is no "HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\EngineerMode\BuildInEnginee ring ModeApp" key. How did you manage it?

[atmospherico]

You just have change with regedit the "BuildInEngineeringModeApp" Key to "1" in HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\EngineerMode\ than You just make a soft reset and type *#*#364#*#* (you can change it also with regedit) in your phonepad

but you can only look to the parameters its not possible to change it

it works with my wizzard an the CR86_Touch_HD_1.6_Fixed rom

I tested with the latest official ROM and it does nor work. I created the key and reset but at dialing I just get an error message from the operator
