No. Unlocking your phone simply moves your phone's IMEI# from the carrier controlled database of accepted phones allowed on its network to an internationally recognized database of accepted phones that can access any carrier network if they have the right tech (ie SIM card, etc). The password you are given unshackles you from the carrier.

+1. First time I've seen this menu on a phone, any resources to help learn ANYTHING about any of the menus?
I'm obviously not looking for something comprehensive, but am interested to learn more.
Where's the "Unlock Bootloader" menu option?
This has always been an option on Samsung devices. At least since the Skyrocket.

That is 100% incorrect. The SIM lock on phones is software based and the software resides on the device. To test this get an unlock CODE from any unlock retailer.....even your cell company. This code needs to be entered into YOUR DEVICE to work and your celk phone company would not even know (unless you got the code from them). I know this because I have done this to phones and because a database for all phones would be huge.
Now the iPhone is similar to what you describe but it is an Apple based database and is used to SOFTWARE unlock the phone when you reset the device on iTunes (basically another way Apple can control your iPhone)
The sec ril dump has an option to disable fast dormancy and backup efs and nv. But those two require a password. Anybody have an idea of what it might be?

Hmm Mobile Defense looks quite interesting, im going to give that a shot.
Wave secure is better because you can remote wipe!
I cant use both because they both dont support google voice SMSs
Why pick? I use them both. Yes, I'm that paranoid.

Smart man.
I've been using Mobile Defense since it first went public last year. I haven't had to use it yet except to beep my phone to find it if I misplace it in my house.
I wanted to try Wave Secure but I thought I read something about costing minutes or something so I just left it alone.
Can you install it as a system app like Mobile Defense so it runs hidden and can't be uninstalled? Can you enable the GPS remotely from a web page?

Nah wave secure doesn't cost anything I don't think, had it for a while now, never had to use it yet though.
The first time you install it and open it, it prompts you to go into the marketplace and download a specific app which makes wave secure immune to being uninstalled.
Can't enable gps either, if your gps is not on when you lose the phone tuff luck. When I tried it without gps being on it tracked me to the nearest cell tower (which is about 5kms away from where I am) good luck finding your phone then.
Does mobile defense offer the option to remotely turn on gps? I have yet to give it a try
May be good to note that wavesecure is international whereas mobile defense is only available in america for now

Texts from WaveSecure webpage to your phone are sent from Singapore. (Check out the WaveSecure webpage screenshot in the middle in red text.)
A few days after I first was playing around with it, my T-Mobile account did indeed note texts from Singapore. Luckily, they didn't charge me extra, but other carriers may be different.
-----
I don't know if either program can turn on GPS remotely. Does anyone know for sure? I haven't seen that option.
WaveSecure though the website can tell you where the phone is.
WaveSecure doesnt send text's etc without you knowing, i.e. when you want to locate phone, wipe it, lock it. These are done by Text so I dont think it would matter if you get charged as it's only if you lose it...

Sonuva... I didn't see the whole singapore deal... since you mentioned it I decided to check and Tmobile definitely charged me for it. It's kind of bogus, too, because the number doesn't use country codes.
Bah.
I think I might jump over to mobile defense... I'm not sure what I was messing with, but wavesecure managed to send out 25 SMS messages from my phone. I can only think of one incident where it should have done it... I got a new SIM card and it sms'd my buddy list that they should notify me that my sim card was changed. Other than that, I haven't tooled around with it.
Lame

WTF? Who pays to receive texts? What does it matter where they come from? Mars as far as I care.
Can WaveSecure/Mobile Defense activate GPS if it is turned off if they are installed as system apps? I thought I read it could somewhere but I don't remember.
I go for mobile defense
Mobile Defense when you track your phone it gives you the exact street and house number of where the phone is.......Wave Secure dont!!!... Wave Secure has other tools to maximize security but at the end you just want to know where the hell is the phone to go and get it....
Mobile defense will turn on gps if your rooted
Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
I'm wondering why people like WaveSecure so much? I think Mobile Defense looks better, cleaner, and helps you find your phone easier, and doesn't have the Singapore texts. Maybe I should have named the thread differently asking why people like WaveSecure so much
Or does it have nothing to do with the functionality, and just that Mobile Defense is US only?
Androidlost!
Its amazing. it will give you total access to your phone and you can do anything remotely! you just login with your google account from anywhere.
If your phone gets stollen you can control anything. camera, gps, etc... even if sim card is changed
check it out!
Looks great however my concern is the fact that this is done on his web server..
What if it goes down?
What if he just decides to drop it?
What if his site is hacked?
He can technically access this stuff...Not saying he would but it sure seems like a lot of trust to put in someone you'll never know.

Thanks , unbelievable !
So fuc... insane system , you can control almost anything !
Installing this in my GTAB too !
This is one application I can never complain about.
I travelled to India around 4 months back and lost my phone when I was shopping.
I complained to the police and the cybercell about it.
I was so upset becoz I had lot personal info in the phone and ofcourse its an expensive phone too.
Then i went home and started to search the web for something like findmyphone. Then I found this app.
( I had samsungdive installed but it did not give me the location info)
Installed this OTA in my phone and started tracking my phone.
Police was then able to follow my guide and was able to locate the phone.
All this was done free.
Had I not had this app it was garunteed lost.
EDIT : the best thing is that if you have a google account with android market in your phone , u can even install it after you loose ur phone
Here's an actual link to the app (why isn't it in the OP?):

And yes, you're giving the author of the app potentially full access to all the data on your phone.
Prey is another app that is more restrained but gives you similar features to track the devices, lock it down, erase it etc. It's also free.
Also, Lookout which also has a malware scanner.

I know. Its amazing. Today i couldnt find my phone and I got the phone to talk to me so I could locate it
I was wondering what if my phone's connections such as wifi, 3G were switched off? I've tested with my phone's wifi switched off, nothing happened. Things will be active only when my phone's connections available. So it's great but kind of nonsense.
What do you think?
Nokia 3310 -> Siemen Scorpion -> LG GL500 -> Nokia NGage -> Nokia 8850 -> Lenovo LP500 -> iPhone 2G 4Gb -> iPhone 2G 8Gb -> LG Optimus One P500 -> Dell Streak 5 -> Galaxy Note GT-N7000 -> ???
assuming who stole/found your phone will not unlink the phone from your google account or just factory resets it... And I guess this would be the firts thing anyone non-honest would do.
i still prefer cerberus, which has a cwm-installable version, making settings, etc persistent across wipes (unless someone flashes a new rom).
small one-time amount to pay for the same features as this, with more features included
Not sure how this happened but I've now got Android Device Manager under settings, device administrator.
The other day my phone had a hissy fit, restarted and went into "safe mode" and then after restarting had reset all the Widgets and task bar to stock (lost all my folders etc) checked here this morning and had the option to activate!

Hey,
I think it's not been activated by Google just yet - that's what I've been reading.. though it should up active soon.
Interesting, I can see it too; it's probably somehow been enabled there, but the actual functionality behind it won't appear until it's fully released.

I'm sure Google will add plenty of nice features for this but it's just absolutely ridiculous how you can't locate your phone unless you physically have your GPS on. What if, like me, GPS is only ever turned on when I need it. Useless if it got stolen (luckily I use Where Is My Droid aswell...)

ADM may be revolutionary for Nexus/pure devices but Samsung Dive/Find My Mobile has been doing the same thing (and more) for at least two years. Google could re-package dog crap as a "feature" and people would go nuts where the manufacturers have been doing some pretty cool stuff that gets overlooked, criticized, or taken for granted.

The problem is Samsung features like the one you described are often hidden under a stale and flowless user interface.
Thouchwiz is a weakness that Samsung must fix.
In light of the UI changes being made both Apple and Google... Samsung needs to do some major work.

And you think finding ADM under "Security>Device administrators" on the device and in a "store" under "settings" on a PC is supremely fresh and intuitive? The latter seems like a kludge either because Google was too lazy to create a dedicated site for ADM or it was cheaper/faster just to throw it in to Play because that’s where all their device management already takes place.
This is where Find My Mobile's controlled on the device. Pretty simple and straight-forward to me.

I think the features in TW are great; it's one of the reasons I buy Samsung devices. I agree that the appearance of TW is dated and could use an overhaul to make it more contemporary. Sense is a beautiful (but functionally deficient) overlay in my opinion. I think stock Android is a barren wasteland aesthetically and functionally. Comparing it to iOS is a really big stretch. Now that a GE SGS4 exists those that hate TW don't have to continue to attack it.
Touchwiz isnt the problem AT ALL. The problem is samsungs software only works on touchwiz. This works on just about everything, and as featureless as it might be at the moment, it wouldnt take google long to catch up if they wanted to.
i have a quick question, every now and then a smiley face appears on my screen.... its getting annoying
like this and then an "ok" button

i have a theorie that when my signal is gone (cellular carrier) and then connects again the smiley face appears, the annoying thing is that where im at, i dont have that much signal so i have around 5 or 6 smiley faces every hour....

You could start with anti viruses and alike... or see what processes are running through adb / shell when the message shows up.
Connect the android to your computer running a live logcat and see what happens when that creepy smile shows up.

Strange indeed. Could it be a network message of some sort? Though I haven't heard of it before, it's possible that it is a network connection acknowledgment of some sort.
here are my findings..
current network: TELCEL (mexico)
smiley appearing after loosing and regaining signal (doesnt matter if it has data enabled or not)
apparently theres a sim toolkit in every sim from TELCEL, i thought that it might be the main issue (toolkit is some services the network provider has )
current solution: changed runtime from dalvik to ART, has been almost 24 hrs without that smiley... just fyi

There used to be secret dial codes that would bring up many useful utility menus on Android phones. What are they for the Verizon Note 5 ?
If you download "phone info samsung" from the playstore it shows a list of secret codes in the menu. I never tried any out to see if they work. Also if you are in the vicinity of a Verizon store you can dial #8378 and it will pull up a menu with a battery of diagnostic tests.

I'm sure that jasonjoel guy is gonna come up in here again saying "Well he's not in the vicinity of a Verizon store and he doesn't like downloading apps, so your advice doesn't apply!" for a third time.

Not sure what you meant by that addition to your post, but I'll try both - thanks
I checked and there is an app from vndnguyen for Samsung phones (called Phone Info). Is that the one you mean? It does not have that dial code information in the menu...

According to the developer and this post you need root to enable the menu.

My phone is not rooted and I'd just like to know what the freaking codes are. Thanks for your efforts in helping but isn't there just a list somewhere?

Lol. Not this time, you answered his question, and gave him more. Nothing wrong with that!

Ok so how about answering my question so I can get a simple list without having to root just to see a list? I don't get your inside joke, I just want to know the answer LOL

I've tried a lot of codes, and none have worked. So, sorry, but I can't help you.
Verizon tinkers with code access. Some codes that work fine on other variants do not work on the Verizon one...

Yes, that's the one I'm talking about. The menu opens up for me. Don't know what you guys are talking about. Maybe you need to have root for the codes to work. Like I said, I haven't tried any of them as I have never had any need.

Yes we discussed that you needed to have root and I don't and was wondering how to get them without root
It is annoying when people with other phone variants post on the Verizon boards, because miscommunication like this happens.
As the Verizon variant isn't rootable, posting solutions that require root isn't going to help anyone here.

Right? Super annoying. Anyway. OP, download "phone info" from the play store then open the menu and select secret codes. It will then crawl your phone for available codes. You don't have to have root in order to just view the list of codes, after it searches the list of codes will be displayed.
On a side note, there is a setting in the phone (hidden_menu) that basically either allows or denies access to service modes and settings from dialer codes and Verizon sets it to deny.
If we had root for the N920V we could use a file manager with root access and easily change the hidden_menu setting, after which all dialer codes and access to service modes would work again.
