Maltrace Log Enable/DisableTo "Enable" Maltrace Log
On the main screen of your Samsung phone enter 78274283*741
The "MALTRACE LOG ENABLED" menu will pop-up, you can press OK to continue, or it will be gone by itself in about 2 seconds.
To Disable Maltrace Log
On the main screen of your Samsung phone enter 78274283*740
The "MALTRACE LOG DISABLED" menu will pop-up you can press OK to continue or it will be gone by itself in about 2 seconds. Alright...now I'm just going to review some codes here that have been discussed before on HowardForums but since the Hidden Menu can now be enabled without use of a data cable and a computer, I thought it might be good to show how to access WAP Settings, GetItNow, MP3 Enabled Menu...etc.
Wap Settings
To access WAP Settings, please have the Hidden Menu option set to "Enabled" above then: Access your "GetItNow" main menu. In this menu press the "#" key and enter your Lock Code (most commonly your last 4 digits of your phone number, unless you changed it within the Security Menu) Here you can access you Browser Settings, which you can use a different alternative internet WAP service provider to Verizon's MobileWeb 2.0, with the Settings provided by the alternative WAP service provider. I recommended using one of the following, since they seem to be the 2 most popular WAP service providers/redistributors on HowardForums...
Access the Hidden Menu to Enable MP3 Menu Item, as well as a GetItNow Test, and Brew Information To access the "GetItNow Hidden Menu(s)", please have the Hidden Menu option set to "Enabled" above then: Access your "GetItNow" main menu. In this menu press the "0" key and enter your Lock Code (most commonly your last 4 digits of your phone number, unless you changed it within the Security Menu) There should be 3 menu options (please note that this is for the Samsung a950, as the a930 and a990 seem to have the menu moved elsewhere)
1. PEK Test This just brings you to a minimal version of GetItNow, a test version.
2. Brew Info Brew Information about your phone...and since BREW 2.0 has not been hacked yet, the information here is somewhat useless.
3. MP3 Menu Item Here you can "Enable" the MP3 Menu on your a950. Select Enable from the menu, and the OK button...your phone should be reset...The following new options are created:
* Under "Get Tunes and Tones" in GetItNow, the "My MP3s" option is added, but you should not be able to access it until you have added songs to a microsd/transflash card, which will be explained. * Under "Tools" in "Settings & Tools", the "MP3 Player" option is added, which is basically a shortcut from the "GetItNow" menu. * Under "Tools-->Shortcut Key" in "Settings & Tools", the "Play Key" option is added, which allows you to select "My MP3s" or "My Music", and enables MP3 usage from the external screen.
Access the MMS Settings Menu
To access the "GetItNow Hidden Menu(s)", please have the Hidden Menu option set to "Enabled" above then:
Access your "Messaging" main menu.
Select "Settings" then press the "*" key...please enter the corresponding codes for your phone model:
A950: 950667 A970: 970667 A990: 990667 A870: 870667
Please also note...that I have only tested this code on the A950 only, so it may vary if it'll work on the other phone models posted. You should also be able to access this menu with other Samsung phones by just putting your 3-digit model number of your phone, in front of the 667.
Here you can access all MMS information available, and you can change it freely to enjoy free Pix/Flix messages. If someone would like to write a tutorial about how to set this up using a free MMS server or create one of your own...please be my guest, but refer back to this thread for information on how to access the menu, as I would like to see what phone models, this menu is accessible on. Thank you.
Service Programming Menu
The Hidden Menu does not have to be "Enabled" to access this menu.
To access this menu go to the "Settings & Tools" main menu, and press "*".
Enter 000000...this will bring you to your service programming menu where you can access your ESN #, call quality enhancement, and Network Settings...etc.
THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MENU...THIS CAN ENABLE YOUR PHONE NON-FUNCTIONAL SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL, AND TAKE NOTE TO THE DISCLAIMER ABOVE.
Press Exit to leave the menu, and your phone will reset
System Info Menu
The Hidden Menu does not have to be "Enabled" to access this menu.
Press # in the "Settings & Tools" main menu.
Enter 000000...this will bring you to the System Info Menu where you can access different menus, that in most usefulness allow for better voice quality...please refer to other threads, or send me a PM about this.
Now while in this menu press "0" or you can select the "Bluetooth" option and press "0"...either way in brings you to the same options.
Enter the following User Lock code:
8886573982
This will bring up the "PARAM EDITOR" where only the "Build Version" option is able to be accessed. On other phone models though there have been reports that "SYSINFO Editor" and "USERPREFS Editor" can be accessed, and this may be useful to you.
Phone Debug Menu
The Hidden Menu does have to be "Enabled" to access this menu.
On the main screen enter
47*68#13580
The best way to exit this menu is to remove the battery, since the codes stated in the thread above may be different with your phone model..so if you have everything backed up and have got nothing to lose, you may mess around with this menu freely the way you want to.
