For most long time Samsung users, you probably already know about Samsungs service menu. And if you've spent enough time (too much time) on a Galaxy S II (I know at least the Sprint SGSII also has this), you likely have already seen a photo that doesn't appear anywhere else on your phone.
For those of you who haven't, here you go.
(note: this may not come up if you are running a custom rom)
1. Open your stock phone dialer and type in *#0*#
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once you type in the last # it will auto open.
2. Go to Sensor
3. Last step. Choose the Image Test button near the top of the screen
Chihuahua!
Seems nobody knows why Samsung chose to go with a picture of a dog or what it's name is. Any thoughts?

I guess I spend too much time prowling through debug menus, because I found that one already a few weeks ago...
Wonder whose dog it is?
Man, on UnNamed 1.3.0, and I type in the numbers in the dialer, and upon the last input, the numbers disappear and nothing happens
I tried doing it a few times in a row, Nothin

Ditto. 1.3.1 here. I assume gtg removed something?
I'm not sure about that either. It only brings it up when you're on 100% stock.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's part of the lcdtest program that gtg removed in 1.3.
I ran across this a couple weeks ago. I got a good laugh out of it.
Of all things why a chihuahua? lol. Funny nevertheless.
This is cool!
Fun little find
That's funny!

So after rooting and messing around with different roms and such, I installed an app called network that has been mentioned on here, to see about switching to 3G easily while at work.
Well I started noticing that the phone couldn't keep a 4G signal at all anymore, but didn't put 2 and 2 together because of some of the other stuff I had done, mainly flashing through 3 different roms in 45 mins.
Well I unrooted my phone, and got it exchanged today because of some terrible back light bleeding, that thankfully my new phone doesn't have, and rerooted the phone, restored all my apps on Mik Rom, and BAM, 4G goes screwy out of nowhere. So I looked through everything and the only networking type app I had was Network. I uninstalled it, and now instead of 998 ping and .5 d/l speeds I am averaging somewhere near 14 down and 71 ping.
Only change was that app. Anyone else have this issue after installing that app? Or if you are having 4G issues, and have this app, UNINSTALL IT!
just thought I'd throw it out there, considering it was making me really mad.
Just tested it myself and it's all good here.

Did you make changes in the network app?
The app is designed to DISABLE 4g. So if you made changes then yeah you would lose 4g.
Im sure this isnt the case, but wanted to mention it just in case.
I use mine to disable 4g since im not in a 4g Area but it works fine this way. But then again my 4g cant go screwy because it doesn't exist.

Hmmm... I notice your speedtest app actually showing an accurate upload (compared to the double digits people used to post. Is this an updated version? Speedtest had acknowledged inaccurate reporting on the TB.

Then Reboot your phone!!
GoodLuck!
Hey it works out of the box. No tweaking required and is not full of false advertising.

Put an ice cream sandwich on it and see if it runs faster!!!
Can we get an "Asshat" section setup to this forum and move some of these threads there?
Have you tried stripping one end of a extension cord and wiring it up to your device, see if you can get some more juice to it and overlock!! Also you may also consider adding a hamster + wheel for extra umph.
I know huh...I had to reply with that comment, couldn't help myself....we should have a TFP BS Thread section......would be at least a place for many laughs.
Is that 32geebees?

No this one is latest model it has 128 geebees. No GPS though
yes but does it come in purple? I mean metallic grey?
If you take 20+ steps away, is the text still readable?
does it have a search option? if not maybe you need more geebees xD
is it faster than the overclocked HP touchpad a fellow member put a video up comparing Prime to? we all know how fast that thing is
Hey, and its already rooted! You can access all the files!
I needed this thread, I really did.

Really wish the Mods would start deleting these pointless threads.
Come on everyone lighten up a little. Be happy! Enjoy the comedy don't take life so seriously.
BTW: I have root access right out of the box and no encrypted bootloader. The nice thing about it is I can change the Rolodex cards to any style and color I want and I still get my warranty
I agree, among all this turmoil we can use some clowning.
*coughs* so.. Handwriting recognition is great, too!
The best part is that you don't have to buy a stylus! It also works with a BIC Pen! Now that's what i called backward compatibility.
Does anyone else have this issue and if so what do I do about it. I have tried everything and there seems to be that border around my screen. I had even taken apartment my spen to make it more sensitive and it hasn't worked. I am open to any ideas...

Is this on all screens and not just the test screen? What have you recently done to your phone?
Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.
Yeah its on all screens when I have the spen on that area of the screen the onscreen icon bounces alk over the place like I have tremors in my hands. Since I acquired this unit from eBay I have no idea of its history but I can assure you that I have not done anything to this unit. If I had gotten this unit from a carrier I would have a plane on it and have it exchanged it by now but I don't have that luxury. The only other thing can think of is to replace the entire screen unit but that is not worth the price since I got a really good deal on the entire unit. If I was to go that route I might as well replace the entire unit for the price I paid for it ya know?

Well, I'm thinking you should flash the correct stock rom. Whether you want the latest Jelly Bean or the previous Ice Cream Sandwich is a personal choice, but make it 100% stock to erase any previous work.
If that clears up your issue, good. If not, then you know its the hardware.
Did you try another pen from another phone or tablet?
I am thinking its a hardware problem cause I am running stock and it has persisted from ICS and I bought an spend for a note 10 cause I wanted something bigger, insert joke here, and the issue is still there. Unfortunaly for me, I no longer have the funds to acquire a new display kit so I guess I am gonna have to live with the issue... Thank you for your ideas I do appreciate it

I had the same issue and is persistent amongst roms. It's a miss-aligned reader for the spen. it was very common in a lot of the first run models. I have the same issue even right now with my refurb though on the right side of my screen but and not as bad but my initial Note had the exact same border as yours.
Thank you for the answer and I can only assume that there is no way to correct this issue

Hi There,
My wife just got her S5 and right from the get go she started noticing issues. She then restarted it and it worked fine for a small length of time. From what I can gather it has a yellow screen and when you try and do anything it kicks it back to a black screen.So essentially you can't do anything with it. I've played around with lot's of phones but never had something quite like this on a brand new phone that just arrived.
Here are a couple pictures that she sent me. If any of you can give any insight it's greatly appreciated. I've been scowering the web as I'm a work right now and I can't turn up anything.

Maybe by entering the recovery and factory resetting it. That's the only thing I will try before I go to Tmobile and complain furiously!

I appreciate the suggestion. I'll give it a try, it can't really hurt anything. I worry it's something in the display/hardware itself of which it's my understanding Tmobile has them backordered at this point.
Thank you,

Definitely return/exchange that when you can. I'd even go by just to tell them so they don't pull any "hey why didn't you come in earlier?" stuff on ya. But that's definitely a hardware issue that shouldn't be happening.

No problem. Doesn't matter if it's back ordered or not, new shipments come every week. You payed for a new phone and that's what you should get. For future reference make sure you also get the handset protection if you don't have it.
