Samsung Devices API 12 does not Dial code automatically


We are trying to dial the code

  "*%2306%23" = "*#06#" 

through the adb command to fetch the information about the IMEI

 adb -s "DEVICE SERIAL" shell am start -a android.intent.action.DIAL -d tel:*%2306%23

The connected device shows the code on the screen but doesn't auto-dial. But, when we try to dial manually it's working fine.

The device is connected and the developer option is enabled.

Any help would be appreciated.


Solution

  • The intent that you are sending only opens the dialer app and enters the number, it does not dial. In order to dial you have to press the call button - adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_CALL, but...
    you are not dialing a regular number, you want to enter some code, so you have to open the dialer and enter the code symbol by symbol:

    adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.DIAL
    adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_STAR
    adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_POUND
    adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_0
    adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_6
    adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_POUND
