I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, I'm not a techie and this is my first post here... I upgraded to the s4 from the dinc2 a couple months ago. I've been searching for a hack for the stock mobile hot spot, similar to the one for the dinc (where you access the hidden menu from the dialer using #778). I can't seem to find any hidden menus on the galaxy s4. I've searched the forums and tried some of the dialer codes suggested but none of them are working. At one point, I was able to get to a screen allowing me to select either enable or disable edit mode. I selected enable but I couldn't go any further, there were no options to move forward or actually edit anything and I haven't been able to get back to it ever since. But, by getting at least that far I'm led to believe its possible for this to work If I knew what I was doing (obviously, I do not. Lol)
All other suggestions I've found have been for root but I'm not interested in rooting. Again, I'm not rooted and I'm updated to 4.3. Basically what I'm searching for is a way to access that service programming menu from the dialer on the Verizon S4... Any ideas?
Anyone?

What your trying to do is possible, but is not possible without root, because in order to access the hidden menus witch are turned off by default you must edit the build.prop file that is located in the system folder of your phone witch is write protected. Now you could root your phone and then apply the edit, then after doing what you need to do just un-root the phone (if that's something your interested in doing).

im trying to disable forever that annoying Power saver mode that disables mobile internet when screen off in htc phones(not only the notification).
By now, i figured out it has something to do with power.saving.mode, but i cant find a detailed explanation on the forums, and testing on it didnt have significant changes.
Can someone help me please? Google also cant find a detailed explanation on this matter, only different settings.
pd: i dont mean disabling it in settings menu, because it activates itself again.
I´ve read that in some devices, service menu gives the option to disable some sort of power saving mode, but in this model codes wont work (*#*#4636#*#* wont give that option)

Freeze the app if you are rooted ..... Or disable using a guide posted in general forum

power.saving.mode
first of all, thanks for answering.
If i do so, the whole energy option dissapears...is it possible to do so without sacrificing the whole thing?.
maybe it would be easier to customize it, i mean, set it to launch at 5% instead of 14%, but i have to look how as i dont have a clue to do so, or even if its possible.
and finally, i dont know if im saying this correctly, Eid Mubarak to you and your family!
Re: Is it possible to activate LTE/4G/3G on air?
Hi all,
I'm still quite new to this forum, i'll try to put this simply.
I have lost my phone recently, htc one ul_m8, in france, and i tried to locate it on ADM. Problem is, that i deactivated my connection because i don't often use it. I checked a bit all over the place how i could activated "on air" or else, and still haven't found anything. I thought of using Airdroid 3 to be able to use my phone through my PC, but same problem, i need the 4g activated.
So my question is this:
I am aware of USSD codes that you can type in directly on the numpad to have access to various information and settings. Is there any other form of secret or no "ussd" codes that for example can be sent to the lost phone, to be able to remotely activate the connection. Or another way. But it has to be remote cause i honestly don't see any other way of accessing the phone.
I hope i was clear for most, my head is a bit scrammbled, to much precious information i was careless to not think of this beforehand. Anyway if anyone has any ideas, please reach out.
Thanks a lot
Leo
Hi,
First of all I am really sorry for the questions and the beginner kind of questions. I really need your help. Your help is appreciated.
Please do not calm me down (is reassure the right english word?)! I just want to hear facts and answers regarding the truth/reality..
I have got a Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus (SM-G965F, Duos), bought in Germany. My Android Version was Android 8 or higher, but I can only guess this part. Maybe it was older than Android 8?
It fell into water (only the bottom part) a year ago and about a month ago i gave it to a repairshop (I know that this was very late).
I did not give my lock screen code to the shop workers. I did not give them any code.
The Bitdefender App (full) was installed on the phone.
As I remembered that there was sensitive data on the phone I took my phone back the next day. Bitdefender has mentioned that there was failed access attempt to my phone. Bitdefender App took one or more photos (I can only see one) of a worker trying to unlock my phone.
I used Bitdefender, so I think the Secure Boot was disabled (I think). Is this important for my question?
The old data (before giving to the shop) was on my phone, no deletion of any file, as far as I can remember my own files.
Questions:
Could the workers of the phone service shop get any kind of access, e.g. by cracking my phone, bypassing or just trying. I mean, they are professionals or semi-professionals. My phone code consisted of four digits I think. There was no SIM-card inside the phone.
When I took my phone back the date was set to january 1st. Why that? How can that be? The Bitdefender App said that the photo was taken on 2018-01-01, 15:41 o'clock. Maybe Bitdefender takes it from the android system. Or from WiFi of the shop? Is that possible for them to connect to their WiFi without the lockscreen code? Can it be, that they unlocked the phone, and messed up the timestamp?
Is access (if possible) only via USB cable possible or wirelessly, too?
After a bit of investigation I found out that there is software to rescue data both from iOS and Android systems (For example: Dr. Fone). Maybe access it possible with software like that?
The warranty void of my phone is: 0x0. So I think that software like CWM or TWRK was not installed on my phone, am I right? And I also think that my phone was not rooted, am I right? But I have read that you can flash the full ROM, to set it back, from 0x1 to 0x0 (https://c.mi.com/thread-1898682-1-0.html)
I have read this, but I do not know if it works on my phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437946
Could they have gained access to any password, including Google and Samsung accounts?
I have researched and found out that there are several options: USB debug mode, Warranty Void, FRP Lock, OEM Lock, KG State. Do they use one of these to gain access?
After taking back my phone from the shop I did a hard reset on that phone. After the reinstallation the phone did NOT ask me for a PIN/password or google account . So, was the FRP Lock OFF?
I think I had both the Google Account and the Samsung Account logged in on this phone. So was FRP=ON ? What about other options/states, e.g. the OEM Lock?
But I changed the password from within my PC (Browser), not from within this phone. Maybe the phone had an internet connection (so that an error was shown internal on my phone, due to the password change), maybe not. Could the FRP Lock have changed to FRP Lock=OFF (due to this password change?).
What about other options/states, e.g. the OEM Lock?
A bit offtopic, but related to my problem: The shop said that they tested my phone after repairing. Microphone etc. How could they have done that without my lockscreen code? What else apart from microphone could the have tested?

Hi,
as far as I know you have to enable the Developer Options first, in order to enable the USB Debug mode, right? If it is like that, no. I even never got into the Developer menu I think - as far as I can remember. Because I didn't know about this option.
edit: And the standard option is (e.g. when bought a new phone or after a hard reset etc):
USB Debug mode disabled, correct?

@amirizad_7436:
ok, thank you very much for your opinion.
in standard:
the Developer Otions are hidden, right?
USB Debug mode is disabled, right?

Yep they are completely hidden and disabled
Embarrasing as it is, I'm sure this has happened to many others ever since the introduction of the very first kinds screen locks. I have a Samsung A10, which can be assumed why I'm in this specific thread. I would really appreciate if someone could assist me in unlocking my phone. Some points for whoever reads this: I have never rooted my phone, it has no custom recovery or anything really done to it. USB Debugging is not enabled on it either, and I really do NOT want to lose my data. I currently have a pattern saved as the password and as mentioned I forgot it and I have had no access to anything thus far, I've been searching for hours on the internet trying to find a solution. All of which require something that needs another thing to be present for it to work, like using ADB commands, I need USB Debugging enabled I've tried using Aroma File Manager and to no avail it does not work, and then from what I perceived, I need CWM for it to work. LIKE WHY DID NO ONE MENTION THIS!!! At the end of the day, i don't mind doing a factory reset just as long as I can access my data and store it safely, my problem really just revolves around my data of which I really wish to not lose. I sure many would understand that I'm very frustrated and I'm earnestly requesting some assistance in regard of my dilemma.
So, I have kind of an odd question. I recently purchased a used A52 5g off ebay for a relative. It was a carrier unlocked (previously cricket) phone. When the phone arrived, everything was fine. The phone was spotless and unlocked. However, as I set it up, I discovered very slightly off things with the settings menus. First, the quick access button for Mobile Data was not present, seemingly removed/hidden by cricket. From online information, it seems like this can be easily rectified with ADB. However, the phone also appeared to be using potentially a custom updater or other custom menus in settings. We do not want the phone to receive updates when cricket sees fit and we'd vastly prefer to simply receive samsung updates. Would changing the CSC fix this issue? and if not, what would? We'd prefer not to root the phone but if it comes to it, we are aware we might need to. We mainly want to still keep using knox, a difficult task when knoxs gets triggered by rooting and other such actions. Thanks for any advice!
If pictures would help, I can get pictures of the custom icon on the software updater, the custom menu it opens, and the modified wireless screen.
