Codes to use with Palm Treo Phones


Here is some handy Palm Treo information I found from several pages (mytreo, mobility today,etc.). Not sure who to give credit to, but I'm betting its one of the main two there...



Some of these codes work only on CDMA models, but most of them are for both versions of Treo. For SPRINT CDMA models you should enter "# # ..." before number the code, and for GSM models you have to enter "# *...", and for VERIZON CDMA, enter "# * # ...", where "..." is the number code. Enter the codes as if you are actually dialing the number from your Phone app.

Signal strength is given as "RSSI," which stands for "Received Signal Strength Indicator."

Please note: the function of many of these codes remains a mystery to enthusiasts. A lot of them were discovered through trial and error (yes, we have a lot of time on our hands) -- while the presence of some of these codes can be easily discovered this way, their purposes are often more difficult to understand. We have indicated some codes with which users should be particularly careful.

Very useful codes:

786
This the Phone Information Page. It tells you how many minutes the unit has on it, how much data has transpired, the warranty date, software versions, ESN, etc.

377
Displays the last error which caused a soft reset, and the program that was running, line number etc

Somewhat mysterious or less-than-incredibly-useful codes:

33284
This spells ##debug and is the CDMA phone info screen containing a bunch of technical data on your current signal and tower connection.
