Its a t mobile v10. I dialed 277634#*#, I hit apn unlock. Now knock on stopped working. I tried stock launcher and Next launcher. It WAS working with next launcher. Any ideas? I set a knock code to get by for now. But would like knock on to work.

sorry right now the only fix is a rest and even thats not 100%
I found a thread that several have confirmed that the ims hidden menu breaks knock on. So beware that by just opening the menu will break knock on and off. No fix yet.

Get yourself Quick Shortcut Maker, launch it, change the search type to 'Normal', search for 'Knock On', click on 'Settings', then on 'Try'. On the next screen, switch Knock On back and forth and see if that works.
Ok fixed it. Used lg bridge, made a back up. Factory reset, restored backup. Im impressed with lg bridge. It a titanium backup for non rooted phones. All done and everything back to normal. I will look into the app. Thanks.

BAMF 1.6.3
i know i can quickly depress/release the pwr button to lock the screen, but is there a quick method/setting to "lock" the phone requiring a password to unlock without powering down? i'm sure there's an app out there. just wondering if i'm missing something native to the phone or to bamf.
thanks

You can put your screen timeout down to 15 seconds.

by the way, is there a way to create a shortcut for settings>security>lock phone after>immediately?

Why would you need something like that though? I don't understand the benefits of it compared to just pressing the power button. j/w
I don't have an answer to the original question, but thought I'd point out that in addition to locking the phone, you may want to lock your "SIM." Doing so prevents someone from using your SIM in another phone and running up your bill.
I believe the default SIM PIN1 is 1111 for all VZW SIMs.

I thought that each LTE sim is registered to the MEID of your Thunderbolt and is unable to be used in others. (without extensive EPST work) Hence the reason people were getting brand new TB's also had to get brand new SIM cards?

You didn't read the material Verizon provided with your phone, did you? Right there on the front of the Activation Guide: "To learn more about your 4G LTE SIM card, visit verizonwireless.com/4GSIM" Poke around, and you'll find this:
the SIM card is portable and can be used in any Verizon Wireless-certified 4G device. All usage will be billed to the account associated with the 4G SIM card.

Ahhhh, so i am actually supposed to read those pages with words on them? I thought it was just packing material.
I've honestly never read one phone manual i've ever had. Not cause I know everything about a phone before I get it, but I just rather find out everything myself. If i had to get a replacement shipped to me I'm sure I would have found that out then.
But also, I don't know if you saw some other threads or not, but i remember people saying they went in and got replacements and had to get a new SIM also. They said the VZW reps had said that the SIM is not transferrable. I don't know for sure, just saying what was said.

If you set it to lock phone immediately, it will lock when you press the power button fast. The screen will turn off and the phone locks. When you press the power button next, the screen turns on and you need to swipe to unlock screen. You then enter password to unlock phone.
I have done it this way and it works fine. Hitting the power button once fast is the same as if you had an icon for it. The nice part is you can be on any screen.
just use the app i posted and if you need a password set it up in settings in security and viola just what your asking for software app to lock and password on unlock
also here is the patch to make the volume rocker wake the device also so then you could wake the phone with volume button and power buttton

I do not have any data or voice connection. My phone is just a digital phone book at the moment. Early Monday morning around 2am the phone was working fine I had voice and data. Around 4am I look at my phone and there is an X above the signal bars.
So far I have tried dialer codes- the phone seems it does not recognize them, nothing happens (the view and edit modes do not come up)
soft reset, hard reset
Restoring a back up-no luck
Run the newest 4.3 RUU-no luck had data for a few seconds then gone again
Tired running ViperRUU-still no luck
I also tried to call Sprint but as usual they were no help
My phone is Locked but S-off

Have you tried the hands free activation?
Sent from my EVO using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Try ##72786#, then select reset from the menu once it pops up. If that doesn't work, do ##3282# and hit reset. You'll need your MSL code to do this. You can call Sprint and get it or use the free MSL reader app from the Play store. You have to be on a Sense ROM to use dialer codes.
Edit: Saw where you tried the dialer codes already. You'll need a ROM with EPST support to use them. Hit up my Q&A thread for the Sense 5.5 ROM-one of the FAQ's in the second post explains how to do this.

I thought Viper 4.0 support EPST? I will try to restore my Sense 5.5 back up and try again. But when I try to use the dialer codes they don't work. I can enter the code but it seems like the dialer freezes and it doesn't take the code. I have to hit the home button to get out of the frozen dialer.

1. Turn on the airplane
2. Go into settings and into the auto setup thingy. I forget what exactly it's called in that ROM, but it's almost always right above the software updates section. After it tries for a few seconds, hit the home button.
3. Now go to apps and under "all", find "phone". Clear it's cache/data
4. Right afterwards, and with airplane still on, reboot your phone.
This probably won't fix your problem, but should reset the godonlyknowswhat so that ##SCRTN# & ##DATA# are again recognized by your phone (assuming you're on a sense-based ROM).
I had this exact same problem and that fixed it (well the dialer problems anyway). Not 100% sure why either.

Thanks, That got the dialer codes working, not all the time but few times so I can enter the codes. Now It will not do the hands free connection. 1012 is the error code coming up. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and bring it into a sprint repair store, and hopefully its something easy to fix
Well the damn Sprint repair store was closed. But I was able to finally fix my phone. I used the ##786# dialer code and did a factory reset. Thank you everyone for the help.
So I did a restore using the LG tool and I am missing the wifi calling app. I can't seem to get it at all from any source, I've read some discussions about it but haven't gotten anywhere with it.
Anyone have some advice ? Ive tried all the ## diag numbers and all of that to try to get the sprint software to load but it doesn't load the WIFI calling app or any other sprint apps.
Can someone maybe provide me with the APK ?
Hopefully this helps!
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1605415/SprintWiFiCall.apk
I am not sure how to make this stuff active..I've tried every procedure possible on this to get it enabled. ##RTN# and nothing no Sprint boot or shutdown or Sprint apps including the wifi calling.
I'm not sure if it's a blessing or now I can't use any of those features anymore.

I've used the tool 5 times to get back to stock (things I've tried that don't work, never with the build prop except the multi window) and not once has all the apps installed. I.e. wifi calling. You must know your msl. Once you know that you're golden. Restore back to stock. Don't bother with downloading or really setting up anything. Go to phone, dial ##rtn#. Option 2 i believe, put in your msl and bingo. It will restart have you sign in again and all that jazz and whalla. Wifi calling and all the other Sprint bs is back. Have any questions please ask.

No. After RTN reset re-root with Stump.
I've done a search and haven't found anything so far, so, thought I'd ask here:
What is the purpose of the hidden menu?
How do you access it?
What will it break if I activate it (I've seen some saying that it will break knock on (which i don't use any way and just seems gimmicky)?
Thanks in advance.
Nevermind, found it elsewhere: To access it, you have to input the code 277634#*# into the dialer.

There was a specific setting you'd have to change in order to break it. I don't remember which one.
Sent from my LG-H901 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
I have the T-Mobile version and it was too strong of a coincidence that knock on broke the same day I discovered the hidden menu and started exploring. I didn't notice which menu broke knock on but I do know it had to be something I tapped in the hidden menu because I wasn't doing any other kind of modifications to the phone.
Really it just depends how boldly you explore the hidden menu options. If you do just be prepared to have to perform a reset.
Good news is that if you do break knock on, a device reset will fix it.
Also the official LG backup software seems to back everything up, app settings and even side loaded apps. It's just a little awkwardly implemented in that for security verification it requires you to re-enter the google accounts you had on your phone when you did the backup in order for it to even begin the restoration.
Meaning reset phone, re-enter your google account(s) on your phone, say no to google's auto restoration, then perform the LG bridge restoration.
Since google can automatically partially restore you'll have to say no and just leave it to the LG restoration process otherwise you'll have Play store restoring and updating apps at the same time the LG Bridge is trying to restore.
Played around with the hidden menu and indeed broke my knock feature. Didn't even change anything. I thought something was wrong with the phone. Took it back to tmobile for an exchange.
You can use any shortcut app off play store to put a link to the hidden menu knockon setting and turn it on and off.
I also have accessed it to enable fast dormancy to improve battery life for my TMO V10. It did not disable my knock features thankfully.

Great, however when there are no settings to turn it back on readily available (ie, in the settings menu), it DOES break it. Back when the issue was discovered, the only way outof off the problem was a reset. I'm glad there's another way now, though.

i looked at fast dormancy but i'm wondering if you get missed calls or dropped tet messages i turned it on to see a bit ago, but i wondering if i can leave it on seeing that i need to be able to get calls and text all the time.
now I'm all worried about giving this a try, lol, will do it anyways though cause well, it's me.
Went to WIFI and hit the last option of the Upsell page (hopefully unlimited tethering is mine now)
Knock on still works
Trusted Location not working is a common problem with various devices, but so far I never encountered any issues on my S8. However, with the S9+ I cannot get it to work. Adding your current location still leaves the phone locked. I rebooted, deleted, edited and added new locations, with no success. Anyone experienced similar issues?
It was working on my S8+ but a few weeks ago became very inconsistent. S9+ is no different. I suspect its Google related.
For some reason it started working now. Did not do anything. Seems to be a sporadic service issue, like you said.
It has stopped working for me completely in my S8 running Oreo.
Just wondering if there are any new devopments on this. None of the so-called "solutions" I have found on the internet (erasing cache etc.) work. Has everybody just given up? S8 running oreo here.
To me it works sometime and sometimes it doesnt. I have tried to do it in so many differenr way but still luck. Just works when it wants to. Funny part is with my pixel 2 xl it worked 100% of the time on oreo 8.1 so it most be something withing samsung tweaks.
People have been complaining about this for quite a while now...too bad it can't just work reliably.
By chance, do you use any type of managed email service?
For example, I have a work provided Microsoft Office 365 account. Configuration of the account on the phone requires the application to have device admin privileges and one of the permissions disabled the option of Smart Lock, which infuriates me but I understand.
It's worth checking the make sure nothing that has device admin privs is blocking that feature.
I had the same problem with my S8+. Then I jumped to the Note8, and it worked perfectly (every single time, without exception).
Now, with my S9+, it's useless. It has never worked. Not once. Pretty damn ridiculous.
On Note8 with Oreo it didn't work. Now I'm on S9+ and I'm not sure because bluetooth works well. I tried to turning BT off and the phone staid unlocked. So who knows...
I did have to remove and re-add my home address in the Smart Lock app, but after doing so it does unlock using the location now.
Restarted the phone to confirm it "sticks" and it does. Of course, the first unlock after a restart is always going to want security, but after that it is working as expected.

So far so good. I've been home for a few hours and Smart Lock is working well on both my s9 and s9+. Had my s9 with me all day and no restarts.
I should add that I don't keep my phones on High Accuracy, keep them on Battery Saver. One thing I did when I reset my home address was I used the Add a Place and used the Lat. and Long the phone had me at. It was close to my address but it placed me closer to my neighbor. Don't know if this is what helped make Smart Lock stick...
