So recently I came across that hidden menu *#*#4636#*#*, I used nova launcher shortcut activities to get there though as the XT1045 did nothing while entering the code mentioned.
So it was all great as forcing 3g was a big requirement for me, worked for a 1-2 weeks just fine, I even shut off the phone at nights and had no issues in the morning.
Recently though i switch on the phone and the power button menu shows that the flight mode is off and checking the hidden menu has the option of "turn radio on" meaning it's off? Turn radio on doesn't work but the power button airplane mode does work once and then the option is greyed out. Usually doing this and a restart would get things working but since yesterday and a gazillion restarts it's not working. The flight mode option on the quick settings works fine both ways but doesn't actually affect the phoen, just indicated flight mode on or off.
The only thing i had done was at the very beginning i tapped the turn radio off / on to check out the settings, so i don't know if that affected it somehow, but that was like 2 weeks ago and it's been fine since then until yesterday
I have looked in the forums and have not tried reflashing the radios yet but any other options have failed, I was hoping this can be done without flashing anything.
Help!
Also worth noting, im completely on stock, no root and basically didn't amend anything for it to behave like this, I've also tried another SIM and it's the same issue. It's an unlocked phone sold directly by Amazon.
Maybe a way to reset this setting? or something?
Somebody? please.
Also do you guys think the lollipop update would update to a new modem baseband?

My phone runs perfectly fine until I enable Gps location. Once I enable GPS location, it freezes, then it reboots my phone and it slowly do a system check, then it continuously rebooting the lg logo screen. I tried taking out the battery and put it back in, even took out my battery for a day and it still does the same. I'm not sure if it's the hardware problem, but it's a pretty rare case, since I read most of the threads in forums, people said it can be fix once you pull out the battery, but somehow it's not working for me. Anyone knows the reason why? Btw, my phone is not rooted or used any 3rd party program.
Ah. Posted too soon. There's a master reset that I believe is Power and Volume Up. Try that.
Unfortunately, it's still not working. Is there any other possible way? Or else I have to call in and return it.
Try turning off the phone, then press power + vol down and hold it until you see the word android. This should do the factory reset.

It sounds like the permissions are not correct, or perhaps that your ROM was not flashed correctly. I have seem this problem happen numerous times due to bad firmware flashes or ROM issues. I would just download a new copy of the latest CM 7 ROM or whatever your favorite ROM is and flash it through CWM.
Thanks guys for the help. I found out that you have to hold down first then power button for around 30 second and then the droid animation comes out. I was so close to returning it. Thanks!
I suspect it's a software problem and not related to the hardware models. We have htc inspires though.
Wife and I have identical phones. She came home from work and told me hers crashed; she said she charged it on her way in to work and when she reached to use it saw the root/boot/recovery/whatever screen. (She described it and then when it came up when I looked at it, confirmed that was the screen she'd seen.)
We've got android 2.2.1, if that helps.
Anyway, the phone crashed and won't restart. I pulled the battery out, waited, and popped it back in, and nothing happened. Pulled it out, waited, popped it in, tried the method described here *edit: apparently too new to post links. it was at the htc community.* of trying to bring up the recovery menu. Looks like we have fastboot enabled, which a mod describes as being a known thing. I do the keystroke method as described here, and it brings the menu with the 4 options - reboot, recover, factory reset, and something else, but it doesn't let me navigate with the volume key the way the site and the bootscreen on the phone tell me I should be able to.
So - what went wrong, how can I fix it? I'd rather not have to schlep out to an AT&T store if I don't have to, especially if we can figure it out here. I'd rather not have to do a factory reset, as probably nothing is backed up or saved to the sim, but at this point, I'm worried that's not even an option I can select.
Cliffs:
1. Android phone crashed and won't reboot.
2. Can't make selections in the boot menu using the volume key as I'm supposed to
3. Phone runs through fastboot and fails to start up - I tried the thing I'm supposed to do in response to that as described here *edit: apparently too new to post links. it was at the htc community.*
4. This should be an easy fix / probably something someone here has encountered before.
edit: Don't know if this means anything diagnostically, but while the phone should be fully charged right now, it reads as at 0% when I plugged it in. I figured the utility that measures that probably isn't available at this level in the start-up?
edit2: She mentioned just now that it looked normal when she got up for work. Was at work and tried to use it but it was in airplane mode and she hadn't put in airplane mode herself. She clicked the airplane mode icon to switch out of it and the icon animation just sort of hung. She put it back on her belt like that, it sounds like. When she picked it up again it was in that root menu.
We're not rooted, and these should be vanilla installations.
If this is the wrong place to ask about this, can someone direct me to the right section? I wasn't quite sure where to post this. I reviewed the instructions and did a quick search... but my search-fu might suck.
Hey there all,
I recently purchased the ZTE Majesty from StraightTalk, and I honestly couldn't be happier, great phone, great company, etc... However, one thing I have noticed is that when I go to turn my phone off, instead of the "Power off" option actually shutting down the phone, it puts it into some sort of hibernation mode. I've been unable to find a way to turn this off (I've Googled, tested, tried, factory reset, pushed, prodded and called to no avail), so I thought I'd turn to xda with my problem. I've included a screenshot of my power menu, in hopes it'll jog somebody's memory, or help me turn this damn thing completely off, as hibernation uses battery. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Rexen
Solved
Go to:
System Settings > Accessibility > Quick Start
Click that check-marked box and you should be good to go! :good:
If you still have problems please reply with some specifics and I'll try my best to help you.

You have to got to your settings and turn the QUICK START off
Hey guys,
Somehow my phone is stuck forever in airplane mode. I have tried flashing multiple ROMS, going back to fully stock, even with a locked bootloader or without custom recovery. But somehow the problem still stays. I seriously don't know how this even started.. I knew for sure it was the airplane mode's fault when I wanted to call some kind of number for the radio settings, but I got a message saying I had to turn airplane mode off.
But, it is not even turned on anyway. Now what? Help is appreciated guys!!
Edit3: When pressing on the power key, when you get the small menu it shows me that (while no simcard in) airplane mode is constantly turning on and off, I also get a constant repeating/flickering notification in my status bar.
I also tried using my sister her simcard, but it gives the same result. But, my simcard works in her phone. I was able to use 3g etc.
I have exactly the same issue. It appeared today after being away for a few days and having my phone on airplane mode + Wifi the entire time. I have tried flashing back to stock w/full wipe and reflashing radio. In *#*#4636#*#* menu I see that radio is "off". See screenshot attached.

hello friend plz help.....i have the exact same issue...wat did u do
I was having some problems with adaptative battery turning on by itself so i talk with the support and they give me a trick that actually fixed the problem. They said that it can fix also another problems so i will explain here, in the worst case is just a waste of time.
Turn the phone off and connect to the charger.
Enter recovery:
-Hold power + Vol Up until the phone turn on and then release power but not volume.
-You will see and ****ed up android. Hold power and press vol up for 3 seconds and release volume up.
With this you will be in the recovery. With the vol keys go to "Perform a Graphic Test" and press power to execute. It is kinda weird but it doesn't perform a graphic test, it just reinstall a update or something
So if you are experiencing some weird behavior you can try this and see if it solve it.
I've done it, but the Wifi issue comes back aber 1-2 days
or immediatelly if you perform some FlyMode ENABLE/DISABLE
I made a video of the mobile after the refrresh and after the issue comes back
Paired with 2 other smartphones
You can notice when the issue is "active" the mobile just see 1-3 WiFis SSID (normally they're 10 or more)
And it even reports a wrong signal strenght
Plus it fails to connect to the Paired Wifi several times (eventaully always)
Resetting the Android networking system doen not work
Usually a soft clean helps (reboot with VolUP + power and wait for AndroidONE screen to appear twice (I guess they're actually 2 consecuve reboots)
Lol Support sold you a lemon. The "graphics test" is literally just playing the animations the recovery should when installing an update. It's not doing a damn thing. I think the reboot just helped you out.
I had the wifi issue and it worked for me. Now wifi connects after enable / disable flymode without rebooting the device.
thanks

They didn't sold my a lemon because i did it and it actually solve the problem. Before i tried everything, including reset, hard reset, deleting all the battery system app cache and data, disabling them, enabling them again, nothing worked and adaptative battery kept turning itself on. I had the problem for months. I asked the guy how permorming a graphic test is related to some bug in adaptative battery and he said he doesn't know and Ingenineer team said that to him, it seems that it is not only a graphic test, maybe Nokia touch something there. The thing is it solved my problem, that is why i shared it here just in case.

I think you should wait just 1-2 days before saying it. I hope it really worked cause I have the same wifi issue.

This morning, after the night in flightmode, wifi doesn't connect without a reboot. But now, just the same as yesterday, i can switch flightmode on / off and wifi connects normally. So maybe it depends on the time the flightmode is enabled?

I dont know mate..I usually switch to airplane mode during the night when I go to sleep cause I dont want to loose battery during the night..we can try not to activate it but I hope we will have a fix in January.
I experienced this problem after installing the January Security Patch on my Nokia 7 Plus. My router is a Huawei and my network SSID is hidden. I tried a few things:
* Reset network settings
* Restarted in Safe Mode - added network and could connect (note, it's a hidden network so I selected that option in Advanced Settings)
* Rebooted into normal operation, would not connect
* Modified my router's settings so the network was no longer hiding its SSID.........phone connected!! Seems stable so far.
Can anyone confirm any similarities with the above and if the steps work for you?
I have two Nokia 7+ phones, one works fine on Wifi the other refused to connect.
I did the graphics test as above and it now connects without any issues.
I will wait and see how long this 'fix' lasts for.
Fingers crossed.
I tried to enter that special mode (recovery) but it just boots into the system! I have had many phones and got into their recoveries quite easily. However seems like I misunderstood the instructions here? Can someone explain me more in detail how to perform the graphic test?

adb reboot recovery
Or
When poweron/reboot hold PowerBtn+VolUp until you see "no command" with green Android logo
In both method is switch from "no command" to menu by pressing PowerBtn+VolUp

Eventually I did the "graphic test" which indeed performs just the animation as another user was saying, because WiFi issue has not improved.
What I was doing wrong when trying to access the recovery was simply not connecting the phone to a power source prior to pressing vol up and power.
Just picked a 7 plus a week back & loving the phone so far. Given it had 8.1 out of the box I went through the day 1 upgrades and had a few of these problems. Being a new phone, a factory reset post upgrade was no big deal (I keep everything backed up so it's rarely a big deal) and my wifi problems went away with it. I've found this with Android upgrades in the past. Hard for the Devs to treat every upgrade permutation given apps and time, but easy to test the clean slate, so more likely to be stable that way.
