Difference between revisions of "WebOS Hash Codes"

Revision as of 08:16, 5 January 2010

Hash codes (so called because they are prefixed and suffixed with "#" 'hash' characters) are entered into the phone dialer to invoke information displays and behaviors on the phone which can not be reached through menu choices.

As of webOS 1.3.5 the hash codes can be found in the following file on the phone: /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/app/models/DialStringParser.js

Display Information

##DEBUG# (33284)

This opens a "Debug Parameters" page that contains technical data on your current signal and tower connection. Signal strength is given as RSSI, which stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator. The closer to zero the RSSI value, the better the signal.

##GPS# (477) :

This opens a "GPS Information" page that will give you location, altitude, speed, and accuracy information gathered via GPS.

##HELPHELP# (43574357)

This opens the "Device Information" page.

##RADIO# (72346)

This displays your telephony radio firmware version.

##RTN# (786)

This opens a "Reverse Logistics Support" page that tells you how many minutes the unit has on it, how much data has transpired, the warranty date, ESN, phone number, software and hardware revisions, refurbished status, etc.

Collect Logs & Perform Tests

Change Settings

Safe

##8327633696#

This enables/disables the "Sticky Dialer" feature. The sticky dialer feature, when enabled, allows the phone app to run in the background. It is enabled by default. When it is disabled, the phone application closes when it is not the "focused" card. This means that if you open the phone app, then go to browse the net, the phone app closes.

##SID6581# (7436581)

This enables/disables "Number Masking." Number masking, when enabled, masks all incoming call numbers as to ensure total privacy for the user.

##EVDO# (3836)

This opens a "EVDO Mode" page that controls your phone's EVDO Settings. It gives you the options to force your pre into the following options: 1xRTT only, EVDO Rev 0 only, Hybrid Rev 0, EVDO only, or Hybrid Rev A (meaning pick the best available). Hybrid Rev A is likely to get you the best speed, but if you don't have good reception in your area, you may want to choose something else to conserve battery life.

##TTY# (889)

This enables/disables TTY.

##VPON# (8766)

This enables "Voice privacy."

##VPOFF# (87633)

This disables "Voice privacy."

Use Caution (you may disable your phone)

##AKEY# (2539)

Allows you to re-enter the 26-digit AKey on CDMA devices. Note: An incorrect AKey will deactivate the phone and you will need to contact technical support for the AKey. MSL is required.

##DATA# (3282)

This stores all of your Sprint Data login information, including default gateway, etc. I don't recommend changing these settings unless your data services are not working. MSL is required.

##DEMO# (3366)

This allows you to put your phone into "Demo" mode. WARNING: Enabling the Palm demo will erase all of your personal settings and enable an instructional demo.

##(MSL)# (Whatever your phone's MSL is)

This allows you to see/change your number. Do NOT change this to a number without notifying Sprint, or your phone will no longer work.

##OFF# (633)

This turns off the phone radio.

##OMADM# (66236)

Open Mobile Alliance Device Management provisioning. MSL is required.

##PREV# (7738)

This opens a Mobile Protocol Revision menu. MSL is required.

##USBPASS# (8727277)

Opens 'USB pass through Control' which makes it easier to switch into diag mode. MSL is required.
