In the past we were able to get to our GPS settings by opening dialer and dialing the following number. This will not call anyone - it is a code shortcut to the settings:
*#*#1472365#*#*
However, under Froyo 2.2 rooted with SU access, I am unable to get to LBSTESTMODE
I am having issues with my GPS not locking, it started after I rooted the Froyo. I was informed rooting is not what caused the problem in another thread....so been googling to fix the issue and ran into the old code above
Please advice
Regards
There is an app in the market called lbstestmode that works. The dial pad # to enter lbstestmode disappeared in jh7 and was still missing in ji6.
When I go to the market, the app is unavailable to me. I then went to the apps website and tried to get it to download using the samsung captivate browser but it kicked me back to same thing on the Apps Market
So, I am thinking is it possible somewhere in process of my upgrading and rooting the phone got locked accidently since I am new to the whole process of understanding development? (I have superuser access and ability to eliminate apps using titanium back up so its more of an elimination of issues question)

If you mean LbsTestModeLaunch, this was actually removed per Samsung's request.
As an alternative, you can download "Any Cut" from the Market, then create an activity shortcut for LbsTestMode.

Thank You for your response
I was able to download the app. Would you please share or link how to create " a activity shortcut" for LbsTest Mode?
I am new to the whole process and dont want to create incidental problems for myself

There seems to be 2 "Any Cut" apps - to be clear, the one I'm using is by "Jeff Hamilton."
In Any Cut, select New Shortcut, then Activity. It may take a while to load... Scroll and find LbsTestMode, then tap OK. You should now have a shortcut in your home screen.

Thank you for your response. You have lit a path to enlightment for me ;-)
I found and created it. I will post my ability to resolve my GPS issue in next 24 hrs as I am now few beers down......with Oakland Raiders having a close game with San Diego Chargers.....
Regards,
So I was able to access the LbsTestMode based on instruction given and was able to fo through the following steps of "old instructions" that I was able to google......pasted below
•Step 1 -- Open menu > settings > Location & Security. Uncheck the box next to "Use Wireless Networks"
•Step 2 --follow the procedure in the "advice posted in comments above"
•Step 3 -- In the LBSTestMode menu, press “Application Settings” and change “Operation Mode” to “MS Based.”
•Step 4 -- In the LBSTestMode menu, find “SUPL/CP Settings” and change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276 (DO NOT use www. in front of supl !)
•Step 5 -- Reboot your phone.
•Step 6 -- Open menu > settings > Location & Security. Check the box next to "Use Wireless Networks"
After follwing the steps above still no go? I used an app called GPS test to verify my location
Please advice
Regards,
Turn off SUPL Secure Socket as well. I am using AGPS Mode Control Plane. I've used both, this is where I've set it of late. Also, run the Get Position Test and see if it can lock on a position. Try to do this where you'll get a strong signal from many satellites (i.e., outside). Then leave LbsTestMode running, hit Home and open Maps. See if it can find your location. It should locate you assuming you got a good lock in LBSTestMode.
I've been openingLBSTestMode first and I leave it running in the background and then open Navigation. I haven't yet determined whether this has an actual benefit, is just a habit I don't want to break, or my own superstition, but that's what I do. There was discussion that some of the LbsTestMode settings don't persist after closing LbsTestMode, so this is one way to make sure the settings remain active.
The code in froyo is *#*#3214789650#*#*
this code doesn't seem to be disseminated too widely on the forums, spread the word
Thanks you all who responded on my issue. My issue has now been resolved
I was able to update my location and GPS is working fine
Regards

Hey thanks a lot this really worked well for me. I had just forced the update using mini Kies and still no luck with accurate GPS location but after I followed the steps outlined in lbstestmodelaunch and what you added I found my location was accurate to within a few meters.
The code in froyo is *#*#3214789650#*#*

Spread the word, my GPS with your settings is accurate from 50 meters.. and it locks in 5 secs

FWIW - the above didn't work in my 2.2'd Galaxy S, nor did the older code. I eventually got the Any Cut app (great!) and followed the instructions.
For the last 2 weeks, since the 2.2 update, I was basically unable to get any GPS lock. I did manage once - and it took 15 minutes, with 8 to 10 satellites available.
Now, with 2 or 3, I'm getting a lock in a few seconds.
If the main problem is that the web location setting for info is just flat-out wrong, why doesn't T-Mob just issue a fix for that? It seems very strange to me that this would continue to be an issue months after the rollout began.
Umm, there is SGS Tools in the Themes &Apps section that will allow access to it.

After this change, Google Maps = total crash???
So I did the change, and thought things were good. But about 3 out of 4 times, when trying to start Google Maps, it freezes, then the screen goes completely black, and there is a vibration-buzz, a pause, and two more buzzes. The phone appears totally dead. Only pulling the battery wakes it up.
To be clear, I changed the URL and port, and disabled the secure socket mode, as described in this thread. There was also and update of google maps received, which claims to have installed successfully.
So now GPS is great, but the main app I use it with is defunct.
LBSTESTMODE Not On Phone!
Before you say I know this is Samsung Captivate but I have no where else to post this.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Apollo i5801 on Orange UK and I do not seem to have the LBSTESTMODE menu when I create a activity via anycut or ADW launcher. I type in the LBSTESTMODE number on the dialler and nothing comes up, I did find however I had something called "Service mode" when I tried to launch LBSTESTMODE however this application crashed and said "android.something.something has crashed"
Please help me my I would really like to fix my GPS!
Info:
Carrier: Orange UK
Device: Samsung Galaxy Apollo i5801
Operating System: Android 2.2 Froyo
Baseband Version: I5801BVJP1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.BVJPE
Hope That Helps!
AFAIK our Optimus 4X is safe because its result only show dialer, but you should try it yourself.
If your phone is vulnerable to the recently disclosed tel: URL attack then this website will cause your phone to open the dialler and display the IMEI code. With other USSD codes it could do any number of other things, including wipe all phone data.
You can find some more information and a simple workaround here: http://dylanreeve.posterous.com/remote-ussd-attack
To test vulnerability, open this URL from your phone browser and wait for the effect:
http://dylanreeve.com/phone.php
What does it all mean?!
If visiting this page automatically causes your phone's dialler application to pop up with *#06# displayed then you are not vulnerable. If, however, the dialler pops up and then you immediately see your phone IMEI number (a 14- or 16-digit number) then you are potentially vulnerable to attack.

You know what I m talking about, like when you type *#06# your IMEI will show up.
No. Most GSM short codes aren't even controlled by the phone OS at all, as far as I know. The handful of codes that are phone-controlled, such as the ones to install/launch various diagnostics apps, require more permissions to create or edit than we currently have access to.

I was wondering if anyone knew how I would go about doing this, been searching around for a tutorial/example but there seems to be none
I'm trying to implement a qr code scanning function in an andriod app where I can scan a qr code and have it fill up forms (user text input) so they don't have to type things out manually.
