LG G3 hidden menu code

Step 1: Get Your Carrier-Specific Code

The codes vary depending on which carrier's device you have, so note the correct one for your LG G3 below.
  • AT&T: 3845#*850#
  • Sprint: 5689#*990#
  • T-Mobile: 3845#*851#
  • Verizon Wireless: ##228378 (+ send)
  • International Models: 3845#*855#
Also, each carrier's Hidden Menu can offer different options—I'll be showing off the Hidden Menu on the Sprint variant, but yours may be slightly different.

Step 2: Input Your Code

Head to your Phone app's dialer to enter your code. When you reach the final character, your device will reveal the Hidden Menu. If you have a Verizon Wireless variant, you'll need to actually "dial" the number after the last character.

Step 3: Run an ELT Test

Now that you've unlocked the Hidden Menu, select ELT Test. You can choose between Automatic or Manual, but personally, I run the Manualtest so I can see it for myself. The test will allow you to check your LCD backlight, ringtone, vibrator, camera, audio loopback, and microphone.
Note: Unless you're an advanced user, do not explore the Hidden Menu, as you can open pages you may not be able to navigate out out of.
Select an item to test, then tap Test Start. Depending on what you're testing, the device will utilize the feature and open a dialog box with the results. You would then select Stop when done.

Fix for Frozen Screen for D855 Variant

Some users have reported a frozen screen when entering or running tests within the hidden menu. If you find yourself in this situationpress and holdthe Power button, then select "Normal Boot". Thanks to our members for pointing this out, and for Anarconda over on XDA for the fix.
Hopefully your device does not have any serious issues, but if it does, make sure you get the proper information to provide the manufacturer or retailer.
