I need help
thanks
Your display is bad. I had the same issue. You have to send it in. If you push on the g of the Samsung logo on the top of your screen it should go away for a little but then it will come back.

Yeah I know that, but I still want to reach and use secret codes tho
Go to /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu using root Explorer and edit the file and change OFF to ON and the code will work

Ok so I dont know what happened. I installed this medaldetector app for my phpne. I installed it and ran it and then it sor of had a spaz attack. Had no idea to close it so I took the battery out. (This might have nothing to do with my issue) So when I started up my phone it asked me for a pin number. I never use a pin number and I do not recall turning the option on to use one. So now I cant call or txt or anything like that without the pin.
So I am really stumped. Help me out please.

try your sim card in a different phone and see if it asks for pin code. if it does, somehow pin verification got activated. you need to find the little card that came with your sim card which has the pin code and puk code. if you can't find it, call your operator, they will give you those. (puk code is used when you entered your pin code wrong 3 times) good luck.
Thanks alot... Helped
I have WinMo 6.5.5 on my phone and can't find where to turn off the Pin verification? Anyone know how to do this?
On your home screen, scroll accross to the end (Setings). Tap menu and press All Settings. Go to Personal and then to Phone. You should be able to disable it there.
Alternatively, you could just tap your top menu bar. There should be an icon for your service provider, just tap that and it should directly take you to the option you want.

Thanks! I found it hidden under the "GSM/UMTS Service"
Hell yes!
After a few hours trying to uncover the dialing code string for the Fascinate, I finally figured it out!
I've dug into *almost* all the AndroidManifest.xmls to compose a list of hidden menus you can gain access to.
I shouldn't have to say it, but I will..
I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.
Play with these things at your own risk.
Even if I said it's been tested by me and confirmed to work.
It's not my fault if your phone takes a crap on you.
Make a backup of your phone.
I will be doing some more testing and will uncover more hidden menus, but this is what I have for now..
Some members of another forum where having trouble using these codes and I've discovered that you need Hiddenmenu enabled. To enable Hiddenmenu, do the following:
Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.
Now you can use these codes.
The dialing code string you have to use is *##
Here are some things you can gain access to
Audio Tuning
*#28346#
Several audio tuning menus.
I've only tested the two items below:
To silence boot and shutdown audio go to Situation/BOOTSOUND and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.
To silence the volume key audio when turning the volume up/down go to Situation/VOLUMEKEY and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.
Full Bat Popup
*#3844228#
This allows you to disable the full battery pop-up.
I have tested this and it works successfully.
HwCodec
*#0002*28346#
Audio path volume controls. Most importantly, it looks like there's a sidetone adjustment.
I have not tested any of these items yet.
Shutdown
*#7594#
This enables you to shut your phone off by long-pressing the power/lock key.
No more pop-up confirmation.
I have tested this and it works successfully.
I also need to point out that this disables your slide lock screen.
Diag/Testing Mode
*#4636*1111#
Does this allow us to change intricate GPS settings, ala the "GPS fixes" for the earlier Galaxy S models?
Or is that not an issue with the Fascinate?

This isn't working for me. Nothing happens after I do this.
I enter the first string, press home, press dialer, the first string is still there and I enter the second string. Nothing happens.

You can gain access to a GPSSetup menu using this short code-
*#1472365#
The settings are set to the "fixed" values by default.
You don't need to change anything.
You can go into Command and then start GPS and force a satellite lock.
There's other cool info there too.

After pressing Home and entering back into the dialing, clear the first code and enter the second.
I will update the directions to include that.

awesome that you figured out how to enable secret menus...now how do we enter into diag mode? i wonder what code that is. i tried 8778 but that didnt work out
*#7594#
If your enable this, it appears to not only shutdown your phone with a long press of the power key, but it also disables your lock screen (puzzle/glass screen).

The proper spelling is "dummies. " Using an apostrophe-s shows ownership. Dummy.
Do you have the code for the menu to change the vocode.

It looks like the message goes away, but the screen still turns on when the battery is full. I love how bright the screen is, but even at the lowest setting this phone can light up an entire room.
Thank you SO much for including the "disable battery full popup". That thing was annoying as HELL!
Bummer that it turns on the screen, still. Also, I agree that the screen is extremely bright, even with "night mode" in the Desk Cradle app. I'd like it if I could decrease the "minimum brightness" value even more, so I could use this phone + cradle as my alarm clock replacement.
Way to go egg_head!
i just got a samsung focus yesterday and i unlocked it via fastgsm to use that i had to get the phone in Diagnostic Mode i now see the diagnosics in the main menu is there a way to turn it off so i dont see that.
Yes sir, put ur finger on the tile while viewing the app list until sub menu pops up. Select "uninstall" and presto, you don't see it any more.
ok thanks. if i ever need to get that mode back is it going to be gone for good if do this?
##634# on the dialpad and it should reappear... its just test mode... theres a nice diagnosis codes thread here... have a read its cool...
ok thanks for all the help now if i could just get mms working i would be set.
Theres a tool for that , its in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606 you'll have to look for it though , it might be the rtt
Ok people tested this with another person and he confirmed also.
1)Make sure advance calling is off
2) Activate developer options if u havent already done so.
3) find windows transitions and change to off for all three
4) clear all left open windows using the far bottom right button
5) Go to dailer and see the keypad gone.
Any ideas why this would be? and for me the only way to get back is changing the transistion back to .5 for all three and clearing all the windows again. Its odd. i didn't try with advance calling because advance calling is still alpha stage in my opinion.

It has nothing to do with advance calling though.... i think its something google knows but didnt care to fix cuz lollipop is already out with a whole new dialer! One work around is press on the dialer icon and press back again... You get the dial pad!

I'm not sure it can be called a bug when developer options are merely for developer testing and development scenarios. Its not being used as intended, so unexpected results show up occasionally.
heres how to bypass the google account activation on the lg g4
1...You need a usb otg device
2...download quick shortcut maker http://apk-dl.com/quickshortcutmaker
3...transfer quick shortcut to usb otg and plug into phone
4...open accessibility on the first screen when you boot the phone
5...under accessiblity go down to services where switch access turn it from off to on
6 click settings then scroll to the bottom to key combo for overview and set it to the volume down button by hitting volume down
then click the back key til you get back to the screen with emergency dial
7 click on emergency dial and dial 112 then press the volume down button to open up the overview menu and click on dual window then select the file manager (at this point click the little phone icon and go back to the phone and end the phone call
8 hit volume down again and go back to the file manager and find the quick short cut maker apk and install it
9 do not hit done hit open instead once its open search home selector the click select home then click try then select home it will bring you to the home screen of the phone
10 go into the phone setting then click general then apps then clear all google app data (make sure you clear every google app!!)
very important then go into playstore and add your own gmail account will say connection error (reboot phone)
11 then you can go to through the setup fully it will say your account has been added and you can now setup your phone
12 for good mesaures do a factory reset from the setting let the phone reboot and set up fresh voila a fully functioning phone with your google account

To unlock a stolen handset.
A genuine seller would be able and willing to unlock a phone they have sold with this feature enabled.

let's say you want to sell your phone one day. You have already registered your google account.
How would you un-register it on the device so as to sell it ?
Things have changed with MM as i understand.

You disable your screen lock before factory resetting the phone.
The factory reset protection only kicks in if the phone was factory reset with a screen lock still enabled (to stop someone stealing a phone, using recovery to wipe data, then selling it on).
