Windows Phone Portico Dial Codes

Ding — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:25:42 +0000

Field Test
Code: ##3282# (or ##3282 + call)
Description: This one’s not new, offers some statistics on radio. The settings also allow you to change a few things (such as network type, SMS limits, ENS and CMAS RMT).
Component: FTDComponent.dll

Color Variant + Life Time Counter
Code: ##634#
Description: Also not new… Displays the multivariant color (my value is null but yours might be displayed) and life timer. It reads that info from the registry (“Software\OEM\Nokia\Multivariant\Color” and “Software\OEM\Nokia\lifetimecounter”).
Component: ColorVariant.dll

Silent Installer Component (no actual title – found a reference to “TestUI” so this may simply be a test)
Code: ##4678255#
Description: Mine does nothing at this time but the code seems to indicate that it monitors for provxml files. The monitoring is actually done by the SilentInstallerServiceAgent (SilentInstallerServiceAgent.dll). It monitors for registry entries pointing to physical provxml files at “SOFTWARE\OEM\Nokia\SIAgent\Multivariant” and “SOFTWARE\OEM\Nokia\SIAgent\Tier3″. It also monitors the physical folder “C:\Programs\CommonFiles\OEM\Public\PreloadedApps\ tier3Apps”. When new provxml files are detected, it executes them (I haven’t seen any indication so far that it’ll do anything besides file copy instructions).
Component: SilentInstallerComponent.dll

extras+info (nothing displayed)
Code: *#07# or ##07#
Description: It gives a completely blank screen. The code is purposely written to keep all elements on the main page to a “Collapse” visibility (meaning hidden). But all the information that would be normally displayed when launching the “extras+info” application is in fact populated.
Component: Regulatory.dll

There’s one last dial code that is in theory coded into the phone but the ROM doesn’t trigger the action (it’s not part of the OS support dial strings):

Product Support Tool (no actual title)
Code: N/A (can possibly be launched through an NFC tag if specifying a “DialString” argument with a of value “778″ – I ordered some NFC tags to try it out)
Description: Because I haven’t been able to run this app yet, I’m only speculating based on a quick code review… Allows you to view and modify some core cellular settings. You’ll be prompted to enter an SPC (security code) before proceeding into certain (if not all) screens.
Component: ProductSupportTool.dll

Windows Phone Mango Released to Developers

Ding — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 05:47:07 +0000

From Microsoft’s team blog,

· Our unique new email Conversation View which helps me to efficiently participate in long email discussions with my friends and co-workers.
· Threads that bring together my text, IM, and Facebook chat all into one conversation.
· App Multitasking, enabling me to efficiently work on my email, listen to music, and then pop in and out of Words By Post games when it is my turn. Mango also connects apps to search results and deepens integration within the Hubs like Music and Video and Pictures.
· Internet Explorer 9 for fast web browsing and support for new HTML 5 web sites.

I’m super eager to get mango onto my focus, and though its barely a year old I’m drooling for one of the new handsets as well. Keep up the good work guys and i really hope that this roll out goes smooth without any hiccups or interruptions. source

iSCSI Initiator for Windows Embedded CE and Windows Mobile

Ding — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 13:03:55 +0000

iSCSI Initiator allow user to connect to iSCSI target using mobile device. It is first such software in the world! KernSafe is a pioneer in entering mobile iSCSI market. Thanks to it, expanding storage in users device never was so easy, first user need to create an iSCSI SAN (Can be created in iStorage Server – free version also available.), and then simply connect to it using WinCE iSCSI Initiator. iSCSI SAN will appear as a external storage, such as memory card.

For security reasons, user may choose to use CHAP user authorization to make sure no one else can access that data.

WinCE iSCSI Initiator can be used over existing wired and wireless (Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G etc.) networks. It is perfect to use for embedded industry, office work as well as in home since all of those places already have Wi-Fi networks which will allow for fast and secure connections to access additional storage.

KernSafe WinCE iSCSI Initiator is software based, and don’t require any special hardware to work! Thanks to that any hardware restrictions for maximum external storage capacity used by user’s device don’t apply here since none memory card will be physically inserted into the device, it will only appear that happened but in reality it will be an iSCSI SAN.

It can be used in many different ways:
Access hard drive when you are not at home
Copy data directly from mobile device to backup drive
Automatically save pictures from your phone to your hard drive
Easily share data with friends that have WinCE iSCSI Initiator installed
Stream movies from your hard drive directly to your mobile device

Features of WinCE iSCSI Initiator:
Connection to more than one iSCSI Target
CHAP user authorization (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol)
Support of 3G/4G network
High speed over Wi-Fi networks
Connection live recovery – automatically recover network connection after network ready
Clear menu
Support many portals
Memory Cache – WinCE iSCSI initiator enable local cache by using system memory
Easy to use

Here is a video of it:

Any Windows CE Embedded 4.x to 7.x device based on ARM, x86 or MIPS architecture.
Any Windows Mobile 4.x to 6.x (7.x only available for BSP vendors) based on ARM architecture.

Mango for HTC HD2?

Ding — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 16:45:38 +0000

Dark Force Team has ported the upcoming Mango update to the 2 year old HTC HD2. However, there are two features (that are pretty important to me) which are not working right now:

windows live services
multitouch

I really hope the multitouch issue will be solved once its ROM is made available to the public.

Nokia to share Windows Phone software too

Ding — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 07:10:45 +0000

Now, this is a great new – Nokia being magnanimous to the entire WP7 community. The Finnish manufacture will be sharing their amazing windows phone apps with entire world.

I think it is great. That is what they promised when they made this announcement. Nokia is invested in the platform, not just their hardware running it. The better Windows Phone 7 does as a whole the more they have to benefit!
