Following a conversation with ickster on the Main Application screen being customizable, I am starting this thread to summarize all the found hidden secrets of the Galaxy Indulge, so everyone can access them at a glance.
View all screens at once: Pinch on any home screen
Reorder icons in the Main Menu: Tap the application icon, hit the menu button, select Edit. Touch and hold the application you want to move. (you can also move the Dialer, Message and Contacts Icons)
Access the Debug menu (a hidden samsung menu): Using anycut, create a shortcut for the second from last DATA activity
Turn on VPN support Using anycut, create a shortcut to the 5th settings options counting from the bottom.
Turn 4G OFF and ON (without restart): Using anycut, create a shorcut for the activity LTE Functionality Test (*). The first two options in there will turn 4g on or off. 4G will be turned back on after a phone call or receipt of a text message (*see 4g thread for details), also please note that there is also a turn off feature that is more permanent.
Turn 4G OFF for good (well, at least until a restart): Open the dialer, type the code **583385##, and select Nw mode CDMA only to disable 4G LTE. Your selection will be confirmed through a "toast message" (fancy name for notification bubble). Exit by pressing the back or home button and restart your phone.
When you are ready to go back to 4G, just do the same thing and select as Nw "Global mode", and restart the phone.
The third mode, LTE only, which should be on the top right, will disable all phone calls if it is selected, and will turn your phone into an internet tablet only, as it will turn off the CDMA radio, which metro uses for voice and SMS. Therefore, only use it for testing purposes and DO NOT leave your phone in that state!
Turn on Mobile Hotspot From the market, download the free app widgetsoid and select that widget from the list. This functionality is locked by a password from metropcs (for now, but it's being worked on).
Quickly access numbers on stock keyboard: while typing, swipe finger straight up to reveal numbers. Note that this is for the stock android keyboard, not the swype keyboard.
On swype keyboard, a long press of the corresponding key will reveal the number.
Furthermore, on the swype keyboard, you can get accented letters by long pressing the corresponding latin character key for a longer period of time. Long press on a for example yields & then continued long press shows the letters
