Hidden Menu for U.S. Optimus T - Optimus One, P500, V General

I have NEVER been able to enter the hidden LG menu with 3845#*509# or 3845#*500# on this phone in the U.S., keeps telling me Connection problem or invalid MMI code.
Anyone expert have any ideas?

are you talking about *#*#4636#*#* ?

Wow, very cool, never seen that before. Is there any way I can check the baseband? I upgraded my baseband and want to see if it has been updated, thanks again!!!

Thanks. I've only ever seen the codes given by calc, and I couldn't make those work, either.

AFAIK the only ways to know are:
1. see if works with a ROM designed for the baseband version. Not an elegant solution, to be sure.
2. or use the LGMDP tool to see what it says. I don't know how to do it without backing up/flashing, but it does show baseband version when it is backing up. Perhaps someone more familiar with the tool can chime in.
Regardless, the baseband info given in Settings | About Phone (in CM-derivatives at least) is said to be bogus.

hows the LG Optimus T with new baseband? is it working fully?
I want to use AdFad666 N-Series (new baseband)
another question
should I change baseband first then rom
or rom first then change baseband?

---

No problems with the new baseband, much better signal overall!!!
You upgrade baseband first (dangerous process, make sure to read the faqs)
Then full wipe
and then upgrade the newest rom from adfab!!!

hold on - are you telling me it is possible to use the new baseband with T-Mobiles G3 system and have even better signal strength?

That's what people are reporting.
I tried it with AdFad's N-series ROM and my data doesn't work, though. Some others report the same problem, but I don't know what the pattern is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand, the new baseband has no support for the 1700 band (half of T-mobile's US network).
You'll probably need to be in a metropolitan area to test this, but try forcing WCDMA and see if you get data.
I'm eagerly awaiting your results, as the news that most rom developers are switching to the new baseband and leaving the Optimus T in the dust is getting rather depressing.

So is the Optimus outdated for the new ROMs with the new Baseband or T-Mobiles G3 system ???

I updated the baseband on my optimus t and installed the new N-series rom. So far everything is working fine. I even get 3g service in my office, whereas before I got no data.
You should change baseband first then flash the rom.

Have you tried every band? Post a speed test, perhaps?

Optimus t

Signal is muxh better
Faster lock too to the network

Okay, then chances are your carrier is using a lot more than 50% of the 2100mhz band.
I wonder if there's a way to force 1700mhz and test it.
