Engineering screen unlock code website no longer works?

[jep0617]

The following article has a link to a very useful code generator to get to the engineering screen that doesn't seem to be working anymore. Anybody else know another place to generate a code?

I just got a new code yesterday good for 15 days at about 3:00pm central time. It seems I always have to enter it twice like if i take to long to enter it in it won't work

Hmm maybe the page just had too many visitors today. I'll try again tomorrow.

Can someone explain what kind of things you can do with the the options in the engineering screen? is it something that shouldn't be toyed around with?

I was simply using it to monitor my battery consumption in an effort to diagnose and fix my battery drain issues with OS .148. I didn't actually change any of the settings.

Do you know any settings that can be changed through this?

Not really, I didn't want to mess with it. That first page I posted the link to warns that you can really mess up the phone.

Yea i'd like to figure out what you can do with it but it sounds like you probably shouldn't just start frigging with it

The engineering screen is similar to a control panel, the engineers can change settings during testing. Many of the internal settings are not documented, those that are, like the screen backlight time outs, have already been optimized.

Please keep in mind, the engineering screen makes changes at a lower level then backup and restore. If anything goes unstable, there is no restore to recover.
