How To: Turn 4G On-Off/Access Hidden Menus

No odex
Try to see if entering *#*#4636#*#* gets you anywhere

No problem. I'm about to go to sleep now, so I'll do it when I wake up. If it still shows nothing, anything else I might try? :)

PS:
Under the LGSerMenu, the setting NETWORK LOCK may have some value. Unlocking the network may open up options in other areas of the menus (or possibly not). idk. Just a thought.

PPS:
I screwed up my phone with one of the settings in the menus. I think it was the CDG2? The result was that trying to download any new apps resulted in disk out of space error. Thankfully I did a system backup in advance. So restored it and everything was good again.

Tried the network lock probably just let's you use a sim card from another carrier if your able to switch to gsm
 
*#*#4636#*#*
That gives nothing, neither with the default or S3 HiddenMenu.apk

So I guess I'm out of options for now. No sign of gsm yet.
 
The SG3 sets the GSM under a menu/app titled "Device info". Do you think there may be anyway we can get that menu on the LG?
 
Starting to think the best bet of getting this would be whenever we get a rom thats fully working or find how lg is blocking it

That's one of the menus you get when you do *#*#4636#*#* but LG blocked it, it's also blocked on the s3 but you can just use the phone info app to bypass it

Oh gosh yeah, brain loop. I remember that phone info app reports
"This application does not work on this device"

Wonder how LG's blocking it because i remember on the app before it popped up "This application does not work on this device" all the information & settings had loaded.
 
I tried installing Phone Info as a system app, but still no dice. Perhaps there is another app that serves a similar function?

In the extreme case, Phone Info could be disassembled and reconfigured to let us in no matter what.
 
The phone info app is basically just like *#*#4636#*#* is a shortcut hiddenmenu.apk so somehow LG has put a block on whichever activity the hidden menu

But can you try 3845#*770#

Yes,

you click on NAM Programming .

Then you click on Edit

Then, the first thing is MDN which contains your phone number, click ok

Then you have the MIN which also contains your phone number, click ok

Then you have SID which is normally 6503, but can differ based on location, click ok

Now, hit Done

The phone should reboot.

Now, everything network wise is reset / refreshed.

Just don't change anything.

Feel free to do this very simple process if your data is acting weird, texts are slow, or you're not receiving texts at all. This can do wonders.

I noticed when I do this my MIN number is not the same as my phone number. I had someone walk me through this on the phone at Metropcs and they said that was correct that the number is a different number for the MIN but they didn't elaborate (or know) why. Do you know what this min is?

same question I was going to ask?
 
From what I got from a Metro worker MIN is an identifier of the location your phone was activated from.

Nope, each person has a different MIN number. Me and my parents got our Motions all on the same day, same store, same time. Each one of our MINs are different.

Don't mess with your MIN number,.you will stop receiving calls and won't be able to call anyone yourself...not even your own voicemail.
It stands for Mobile Identification Number. Not sure why that and an IMEI is required though.
