Engineering Mode? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Anyone know the dialer code for engineering mode on this device? Specifically on the TMO model (h918), but if anyone knows it for any other model I'd appreciate it too.
Sorry if this has been asked/answered before, I tried searching but couldn't find anything for this device.

*#546368#*918#. Not sure of engineering mode. The last 3 digits are tour model number. Sonic yours is 910, use 910. But you me room you have e T-Mobile so the above number should work. Not 100% sure that is engineering mode but lots you can change there of f up. Proceed with caution.

Nothing happens when I dial this. I suppose VZW disabled it.

Same.. I don't think I've seen a code that's worked for my VZW V20 yet. I'd be awfully interested. Yesterday at the Cubs parade, service was awful and spotty.. would have been nice if I could force 1x, or 3g.

277634*#* might work?

Not for Verizon

*#546368#*996# works for the US Cellular version of the phone.

How about the Korea set LG V20 F800L engineering code?
Anybody know about the code dial?
Thanks n cheers.

Verizon Test Menu G2

This is not a secret for most phones but if you type
##PROGRAM980 into the dialer and code 000000 you get a hidden menu. It doesn't seem to do anything good unless someone can clarify DO NOT DO ANYTHING!!!
ha under device security it shows that it's rooted. wonder if that's pulling from the same flag that shows rooted in the menu

Most variants talk about a #*3646#800 or something like that to access their hidden menu, where the 800 is the model number. Many people have said that doesn't work for the VZW variant, though.
Are there editable fields for your method here? If so, what can be changed?
I'm not sure. I found this code for other version lg s and I put in our model number and it worked.

That code is the the LG hidden menu. The apk for that was not included in the vzw variant. There id a thread where is has been pulled from an AT&T device, it then can be side loaded and works with adb but not through the dialer. The hidden menu is the op is a vzw hidden menu and doesn't really contain much info or really anything useful for an average user.

It reports the tower location in some cases, which is interesting to be able to see.

Anyone get the NEW NOV 10 OTA UPDATE?

T-Mobile user here. Wondering if its safe to update. Don't want my root blocked. Looks like they may have improved camera auto detection.
Screenshot from V20 subreddit from user maximalx5. I did not check for the update yet.
Thanks
reddit people were showing this on Canadian phones. I love how I got unlocked and carriers are getting OTA before me. wtf.

It is probably best you don't take it if you have a locked bootloader. Unless you have one of the issues mentioned you run the risk of losing compatibility if they crack the bootloader or get the phone rooted because they will work on the older firmware first.
As always, flash at your own risk.

Well this is a first then. Never have we (in canada) ever gotten an ota before anyone else. Usually we're 6 months after vzw if at all!
I can't even check. When I open update center it skips directly to app updates. I don't even get an option to check software. I unfroze everything I had frozen but it stays the same. Don't know what's up with that.
Want to know if the update needs to be queued :: haha

you can enable "force long display" to always open apps in 18:9 screen ratio.
ps: this will disable the app scaling feature as it'll always be 18:9..
there are other usefull stuff too like disabling LDB app which will free up some ram (about 100 mb). and other stuff..
Does anyone have the code for the Canadian version?

Don't know, but on my phone i entered *#546368#*872# (different than I've seen in thread so far) because my model is an h872. Maybe you need to substitute the 3 digits for whatever you have?
Cheers!

I still don't quite understand the inner workings of how LG makes the app scaling work. If you switched DPI to <500 via adb it basically stops working, BUT so far I've not seen one app with weird graphics, even netflix: all i have to do is press the maximize button a second time when the video is playing full screen and the black bars go away.

Got no clue on Verizon, I'm presuming you tried *#546368#*988# - might work if you hadn't, and the service menu might be the same even though there's a different carrier.
Let me know if it worked

No, I have not yet tried because no one said it works for Verizon. So, I just enter them to my dial pad? or somewhere else?

The hidden menu APK. it changes a setting from Operational mode to "Lab operation" and it enables use of GSM. So far it works with the G5, V20, and a few low end Boost mobile/Sprint prepaid LG devices.

hiddenmenu apk no longer works on ZV6 or past December security patch, the network lab operation was removed out of the IOT menu
Although, if you're taking the device overseas, the hiddenmenu apk can be used to assist in selecting your LTE bands!

Strange. Others are reporting working results recently guess they've never updated. Latest update on the G5 is working perfectly fine though at the moment. Sucks they have to patch the simple ways lol.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The G5 and the V20 are two different beasts as far as the software correlation..
The G5 was shipped with 6.0, the V20 shipped with 7.0, the menu options were altered to prevent unlocking with the V20 via this method..
Just as it's removed in the G6 as well.

Yeah the G5 both 6.0 and 7.0 working correctly at the moment. Hopefully it doesn't get patched. But I've never recommended using Sprint phone outside of Sprint anyway. I've never had a stable signal in fringe areas oddly.
But outside the US Sprint devices are sold on a large scale LG devices at least.
Also with 7.0 something that may assist others, with that hiddenmenu apk, you can go to the svc menu -> port check test -> enable, then set the usb connection mode to file transfer / Always and obtain your SPC/MSL using any qualcomm LG method reader.
The apk still has many uses!
It won't ever get patched in the G5, they can't as the network operation mode is a requirement since it was built in to the framework.

Awesome! Thanks for the info! I had strange issues with random battery drain and overheating during that battery drain with mine. So I got rid of it. I had a feeling something was up with a Sprint app causing it. But no one else experienced the issue.

I've been trying to get my msl from sprint for a few days now as im litterally having poor data issues where i know i have good lte. So if i do this do i just download an apk to read the msl or an exe program for windows. My main goal is to go into ##3282# menu under edit (msl) required. under lte and adjust my band priority from 25 to 3 and 26 to 2 and 41 to 1. So in theory this should work right.

get into hidden menus easy. no shortcuts no root needed!!!!!

HiddenMenuCall apk
its a miracle worker its a dream it helps in times of need
be careful can make radios inoperative
edits apn on sprint no root needed.
also gsm unlocks sprint varient.
this is a swiss army apk .
not my work just came across it and figured this would be greatly helpful to some
again can make device unuseable be careful
