2 ways to activate TechMode:

• enter *585*0000# in standby mode + Send button
• enter *585*0000 in standby mode + Call button

You will see on the screen:


Go to My Shortcuts -> you will see TechMode application.
You can see the TechMode application in Settings->Mobile Networks.

There are 3 screens in TechMode:
- GSM Channel
- GSM AMR
- GSM GPRS

To minimize TechMode push and hold return button.

Description of the TechMode here.

Thanks for that.
on w800 r1bc002 it does not work.

Enter *585*0000# + Send

please wait... tech mode on shoed in main screen... and... ????

and where to find? I have now W800 R1BC002 FW emea4..

and in shorcuts.. it;s not there.

I just tried it om my W800 R1BC002 and the message TechMode started comes up. I just can't seem to find the menu. My phone language isn't english, so i don't know what or where the 'My Shortcuts' are....

edit
I just noticed that when i enter #585#0000# + send, a message comes up saying: Techmode Ended
/edit

Greetz,

pSyChO dAd

On my phone it says unknown application (which comes from the network)

*585*0000# + Send
go to main menu -> go to settings -> Mobile networks -> TechMode

Try it please!

Now I'm searching comments about information shown in TechMode

sorry noob question, new here

what is this techmode all about, and what is it for?

Thank you but on my phone it says unknown application . My phone could do with a reflash anyway.

TechMode = netmonitor in Nokia cellphones

Using this application you can see parameters of the base station you are using, quality of signal, distance to base station and others.
/sorry for my ugly english/

try *585*0000 + Call button.

TechMode will appear in My Shortcuts & Mobile Networks.

Nope unfortunately it rings up the network. this didnt work for me using a o2 or a tmobile sim. im gonna reflash the phone because it needs it anyway (it restarts when I go to calender

Thank you though.

P.S your english is very good

thanx a lot worked perfect here

oh. okay
but then on my k750, i see a bunch of numbers and alphabets.
how do i actually 'read' them?

hello

Thanks a lot. I've searched this informatiom from few weeks.It works correctly on D750i with R1BC002. Now we need recognize these numbers(especially cell number and power of signal).

PS.How you achieve this code?

Its a shame. After reflashing and using a t-mobile sim my phone just says network problem.

On my phone TechMode screen looks like this:

GSM Channel

Code *585*0000# tested & working fine on following handsets:

• SE K750 - R1CA021
• SE К750 - R1DB001
• SE K750 - R1BC002
• SE K600 - R2BA019
• SE D750i - R1BC002
• SE W800 - R1BC002

SE W810i - R4DB005 after code *585*0000 + call wrote SIM unactive & went offline

update...
k750 R1BC002 works too

Works like a charm now !!! Thanks every one.

You can add the Techmenu to your quick menu by simply making a shortcut. Or you can do this in Far:

In the /tpa/preset/custom/ edit the customize.xml file and add:

<mmi>
<shortcuts>
<shortcut>TechMode</shortcut>
</shortcuts>
</mmi>

Greetz,

pSyChO dAd

It doesn't work propetly.
If you add TechMode to shortcuts using customize.xml or customize_upgrade.xml you can see the link "TechMode" in My shortcuts, but if you will try to execute TechMode - nothing happends.
Wrong way i think.

It seems like TechMode consists of two parts - module in firmware & user interface.
If you add TechMode using customize.xlm - module inside main doesn't executes.
Code *585*0000 executes module in main.

Would someone help me with making description?

Can sombody tell me, have k300 netmonitor function? Thanks a lot



I tried this code on k750 but it did not work?

tested on my w900, doesn't work....

it's not working with w800 r1bc emea3

it works with k750 r1bc emea 3

what is this stuff ? i am not able to understand anything from here. and i alos dont have the phone to test this now

Hey, I tried it on my W810i running R4DB005, nothing. Every time I send the text message, it says Network Problem. I tried calling, but then it tells me I need to first dial 1 or 0, lol!

Guess it doesn't work on my phone. Looks great, though! Someone could write a JAVA app to decode all this stuff?

~Ibrahim~

R1DB001 APAC_1 K750i doesnt work. might be network dependent, depends if network operator transmits the info? when i do it i get caling..then command error

Thanks,it works on my 750,would be nice if we managed to find what all those no's in 2nd and 3rd line are for..

That's a good idea, I think it' ll be more convenient to use JAVA app

Java would never work. Anyway I found out why it wasnt working for me ; you need an Gdfs update to enable the option.

Its a shame though; on my older n-gage , I have 2 easier programs which allow you to actually change the channel and other things and see v.easy and concise info

it works on my w700i

What does GDfs update mean? and why Java woud not work?

This works great on my K750i flashed with W800i R1BC002

Applying the script to enable the battery option + netmonitor option. Java is not powerful enough to gain access to the firmware/hardware like symbian for example.

it worked on my W800i R1BC002...but i don't need it

it works on r1db001 too,thanx

how can we do now a shortcut to TechMode?? Without always type the code *585*0000# ??

works on k750i R1AA008 CID36 Red as well.
I'm new to here btw even though I've been looking around for a while. Hi everyone!

it works with w800 r1bc002

did not work for me.it says unsuccessful k750>>w800 r1bc emea6.i haved used battery info script

it works on my k750... but what it is... !?!?!?!? ?!?!?! :s

i applied a fresh w800 main and its working for me.is there any option like new search in mobile network.

Guys i have done better description of TechMode. Here is a link: http://compinfo.ge/forum/index.php?showtopic=1076

It is written in Georgian Language, I will translate it in English tomorrow if i have some time

here it is guys, new and better description of TechMode:

-------------------------
GSM Channel
-------------------------

A BBB CC -DD EEEEF GG
HHHH I JJJ K LL MM
NNN OO PP QQQ RR SSSS
TTT -TT UUU -UU VVV -VV
WWW -WW XXX -XX ZZZ -ZZ

In stanby mode shows only bold marked parameters.

A - Current type of service:

• B - BCCH - Broadcast Control CHannel - Standby Mode
• S - SDCCH - Standalone Dedicated Control CHannel - Used fo registration, autorization and refreshing status.
• F - Frequency Hopping - TDMA frames are transfered at different frequencys.
• T - TCH - Transfer CHannel - Data transfer/Speaking Mode.

BBB - Number of current channel:

• 001...124 - GSM 900 (124 channels)
• 512-885 - DCS 1800 (374 channels)
• 974...1xxxx - EGSM 1900
• 9999 - No Signal.

CC - Number of current channel on a current BS (Base Station)

-DD - Recieve level (RxLevel): -40dBm...-117dBm.
-40dBm is the strongest signal.

EEEE - Cell ID

F - Cell Sector Number

GG - DTX

HHHH - seems like another channel (?)

I - Timeslot number: 0...7
One of the eight channels which are used to transfer TDMA traffic.
On 0 channel is transfered control information: BCCH, SDCCH, etc. Other channels are used for traffic.

JJJ - Transmitter signal level, 0...34 dBm

K - Bit Error Rate - number of errors, 0...7.
0 - No errors. When more than 5, sound is being lost frequently.
RxQual table
0---BER < 0.2 (%)
1---0.2 < BER < 0.4
2---0,4 < BER < 0.8
3---0.8 < BER < 1.6
4---1.6 < BER < 3.2
5---3.2 < BER < 6.4
6---6.4 < BER < 12.8 (Half of packets are lost here)
7---12.8 < BER

LL - Timing Advance. 0...63.
With this parameter it is possible to calculate distance to BS using the following formula:
L=1.11 x TA/2, where L is the distance to BS, TA - Timing Advance.
In GSM standard max distance from BS is 35.2 km, so one number here is rouhly 550 m.
Timing Advance: 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5...63
Distance to BS: <550 m; 550-1100 m; 1100-1650 m; 1650-2200 m; 2200-2750 m; 2750-3300 m ... 35.2 km.

MM - No Info. 0...31 (maybe it is number of lost packets)

NNN - Rate of speech codec:

• HR - Half Rate
• FR - Full Rate
• EFR - Enhanced Full Rate

OO - No Info. 0...95 (seems like RxQual)

PP - No Info. 0...83

QQQ - Network Country Code (NCC)

RR - Operator Code (MNC)

SSSS - Local Area Code (LAC)

TTT -TT UUU -UU VVV -VV
WWW -WW XXX -XX ZZZ -ZZ
Numbers & Rxl of the best alternative channels.


--------------------
GSM AMR
--------------------

--- --- --- D ---- U ----
-- Y ZZZ - -


The first three lines are same as GSM Channel, the last two are different.
Y - C1 (Correction 1)
ZZZ - C2 (Correction 2)
the fewer the difference between C1 and C2, the better. The best is: C1=C2.
Also it is possible that C1=C2=RxLevel

still not understanding what's it for?

I think as the name suggest it is for technician of mobile network to check compability, coverage area, etc of a specific model of mobile phone. Average users don't really need it even though it looks cool to be able to see some technical stuff.

this working yet on k810?

Does not work on cid52 db2020 w580i.

Hello - I ran through the steps on my CID49 W810 and flashed a techmode.vkp but I get an error

"WRONG ADDRESS IN SCRIPT LINE: GDFSWRITE:00020D1D01


I am using a CID 49 W810, can someone please help me get this fixed?

the *585*0000# and pressed Send button, entered correctly but my K800 (F/W R1KG001)
returned "Network Problem" seems to be this option is network dependent?

Doesn't on my k800i, Says "Unknown application"
