\"\"<\/a>After spending a few weeks playing with Android on a HTC HD2 Windows Mobile phone, I decided it was about time to upgrade to a full fledged Android phone.<\/p>\n

The HD2 running Android would actually meet all of my needs except for the fact that this particular HD2 was originally from T-Mobile US and is not compatible with Rogers 3G.\u00a0 That means that I am limited to EDGE\/GPRS data speeds, which is nearly unusable nowadays (it was great 8 years ago).<\/p>\n

After checking out the selection of Android phones Rogers is currently offering, I decided to try out the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play.\u00a0 So far I really like it.\u00a0 I have until Dec 5th to decide if I want to keep it; assuming I have used less than 30 minutes (Rogers Wireless Buyer’s Remorse – see under return policy<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Today I decided to check my call timer.\u00a0 Unlike other phones I have used in the past, the call timer is not easily found.\u00a0 In fact you need to access a hidden service menu to find it.\u00a0 It took me a while to find this info, so I figured it would be worthwhile to post instructions (see below).\u00a0 Enjoy.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (and possibly other SE Android phones)<\/h3>\n

From the call screen, dial *#*#7378423#*#*\u00a0 to access the service menu<\/h3>\n

Select “Service tests” (other options are Service info & Service settings)<\/h3>\n

Scroll down to “Total call time”<\/h3>\n

Hit home or back a few times to exit.<\/h3>\n

*****<\/p>\n

I suggest you don’t make any changes unless you really know what you are doing.\u00a0 Don’t say I didn’t warn you.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
