II.- Device modes
As I said there are a many differences between the other Galaxy models, I thinks is because the physical keyboard.
This shortcuts are very important for flash, hack, recover, upgrade and play with your phone. Press and hold the keys:
Recovery mode: Power + T
Download mode: Power + Q
System information: Power + W
ARM emergency mode: Power + E
RAM Dump: Power + R
III.- Hard reset
To reset and wipe your phone as new, be careful!
There are 2 ways for this
Mode 1:
-
* Turn off the phone.
* Turn on with he recovery mode (Power + T).
* In the recovery menu navigate to: wipe data/factory reset (with the volume key).
* Press Home button for confirm.
* In the next menu navigate to: Yes — delete all user data.
* Press Home button for confirm.
* Press Home button for reboot.
Mode 2:
Just type
*2767*3855#
IV .- Screenshots!
Everyone loves the screenshots, and they are useful for tutorials, examples, send reports, etc.
To take screenshots in this device without any third software:
Backspace + C
The images are stored in the external memory under the album “ScreenCapture”
And .. at the moment, that’s all.
I’m very interested to develop Android apps, so I hope soon I write my first post and app (at least a “Hello World”)
See you freaks!
