                            Post update to voda SW upgrd z500bueI1.

                            WEll it incrised my batt time by +- 30% more and more stabel then the privias one You now can use mp3 as ring tone with no problems.Still have more tests on it to do. If you wander were I got the New software, I work for the big GSM repair center in the samsung sector, so we get the updates first to test And must important of all I have an z500 myself. I think you can contact vodafone or go by a voda shop and get the SW upgrd.

                              Im thinking, you people need to avoid vodaphone, they reset the menu's and just mess up a really nice phone. It works perfectly on o2!

                                You have to write *#9998*4357# (help) ald You´ll obtain all the command list for your phone and the describtion of the command.

                                dont use *#9998*3323# (dead)thet will force your phone to crash (but is useful to use your phone with other network cards

                                      My Samsung was not really that bad in standby when I changed the network mode from automatic to GSM only (900/1800), I am getting about 2 - 2.5 days, maybe 3 days, with my phone switched on 24/7. Having said that, I still can't get into the admin setting. Maybe the code only works with specific SW versions, mine is Z500BUEG5. I could however get into test mode by entering *#9998*324# I would be very careful in this mode as it may damage your phone's software. I almost could not get my Z500V to search network!!! SO BE VERY CAREFUL!!!!!

                                        hey does anybody know how to work that debug menu after entering the *#9998*324# code?

                                        You should be able to adjust the volume of the handset in the Audio Gain menu (option 8) and setting it to an increased dB level but im not sure how to get the new settings saved.

                                        When i enter the menu it says "READ" at the top of the screen then after i select an option it changes to "WRITE" but i dont know what to do next. any ideas?
