The Elusive Secret Menu After Jellybean OTA

Usual warning: If any of this screws your phone up it is on you. Don't mess with this stuff unless you agree that the consequences of anything you do to your phone is your responsibility. You might also want to have half a clue about what you are trying to do.

If anyone likes to dial *#0011#, hit the left, pick wifi and turn off wifi power save mode to get better WiFi or *#06# to get a quick meid dump etc - then they might have noticed that capability seemed to disappear after the jelly bean ota. Fear not - it has apparently just been obfuscated behind yet another secret code that enables the hidden/secret menu.

AT&T/Bell/Rogers: *#3197328640#
TMobile and Verizon: *#22745927*, enable Hidden Menu

Bonus - a few "secret codes"

If you have Nova Launcher you can get to all sorts of goodies. I still have ICS, but it should be the same for JB I would think:

Long press on home screen>shortcuts>activities>IOHiddenMenu

Here you can select any number of shorcuts which will appear on your home screen. I have played around for hours with a few of them. As mentioned before "play at your own risk".
 
Using the Apex Launcher with Sprint rooted phone.........most all of the features show up in Activities.....I don't have IOHiddenMenu option.

Correct, I neglected to mention that probably any Launcher has this ability. I am still on ICS, so they might have moved location in JB (maybe a little more digging will reveal location). I have:

IOHiddenMenu:

Enable/Disable Global Hidden Menu
Enable/Disable Hidden Menu

In addition to other stuff.
 
Try again using quick light key taps. It didn't always work for me either. Also, you shouldn't have to dial. It should drop right in. If there are any saved or recent dials of that sequence saved delete them.
