Tips and tricks

  • To take a screenshot, press both * and # keys.
  • On the home screen, hold down a number key (1-9) to set up and activate Speeddial.

Known issues

KaiOS-specific

  • Text messages don't automatically convert to MMS in group chats. You'll have to add a message subject or file attachment before sending to manually do so, otherwise your message will be sent separately to each individual in the thread.
  • Predictive typing mode doesn't last between inputs, meaning if you switch between input boxes, it'll return to the normal T9 mode.
  • You cannot change message notification tone or alarm tone on the phone outside the defaults provided. This is because both are not managed by the system, but by the Messages and Clock app themselves. To change them, you'll have to use ADB to pull the apps from /system/b2g/webapps, extract, edit the audio files and repackage the apps, then push them back under /data/local/webapps and edit the basePath in /data/local/webapps/webapps.json to reflect the change (see BananaHackers' guide for instructions)
  • Built-in email, calendar and contact syncing function with Google account may completely fail at times. Use IMAP and import contacts instead.
  • Speaking of calendar, if you manage to sync your Google account with the phone, only the calendar with your email address as its name will sync.
  • Apps like Contacts and Music are written in performance-intensive React and therefore render significantly slow if you store lots of contact entries and audio files.
  • Of course, missing features.

Secret codes

  • *#*#33284*#*#: Toggle debugging mode, allow the phone to be accessed with ADB and DevTools.
  • *#06#: Display the IMEI(s).
  • *#0000#: Display device information, such as firmware version, build date, model number, variant and CUID.

Special boot modes

  • Recovery mode: With the device powered off, hold both Power/End call and Volume up keys, or type adb reboot recovery when connected to a computer. Allows you to factory reset the device by wiping /data and /cache, view boot and kernel logs, and install patches from adb sideload interface or SD card.
  • EDL mode: With the device powered off, hold the Power/End call and both side volume keys, or type adb reboot edl when connected to a computer. Boots into a black screen, allows you to read and write partitions in low-level with proprietary Qualcomm tools. Remove the battery to exit.

EDL loader for this phone can be found on BananaHackers' EDL archive site with hardware ID 0x009600e100420029.
