Well this one isn't so difficult but I though I'd share for those that have not worked it out yet.
The LG Device Test "HiddenMenu" is apparently on all shipping phones and it's simply disabled via removing the menu entry.
To activate you need to create a shortcut to this hidden menu. You can do this with most replacement launchers and apps like BetterCut.
Example using LauncherPro (others will use a similar method):
Long press on home screen
Select Shortcuts
Select Activities
Scroll down to and expand com.lge.hiddenmenu
Select HiddenMenu (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Also now Logcat app:
As above
Scroll down to and expand LG Debug
Select LG Debug (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Enjoy the vast amount of options and tests in there, and be careful as some are destructive.

The brightess of the buttons was to bright for using the phone as a ebook reader at night the setting stays avyive even after exiting the test.
Btw is the thanks button only displayed on the site and not in tge xda app?
Thanx!

And try to fix the Lock screen lag when you power on screen.

What specifically is that? I use WidgetLocker and don't experience lag... does it taker a while with the stock one to become responsive? I can't recall that.

Sometimes it goes to homescreen and then the lockscreen, when it's been idle for some time.
It also happens with widget locker for me.

I experience the same issue, but even more annoying, it keeps displaying unread messages on the lockscreen until i reboot.
I'm using Handcent, guess the lockscreen gets the unread count from the original messaging app. If anyone know of a fix, please do share.
Hi alls. For those experiencing some nagging issues like lag or bugginess, are your phones rooted to Gingerbread or...? Thanks!
No, rooted stock froyo 2.2.2 in my case.
Gingerbread isn't out yet :-(

I don't think I get the former, but certainly dodgy behaviour immediately after boot.
I have started getting the message count now when the stock screen flashes up. It seems to count all messages, read or otherwise.
Perhaps somebody can start a confirmed & common bugs thread in General for a good collection of them.
Some more:
I can't use a long complex password to connect to a WiFi-G AP, but a simple password works just fine.
Music controls return to notification shade sometimes after a reboot, box in Music app is still unchecked.

No problems with the above and lock screen, I'm using Launcher pro and Pattern lock.
These are bugs i'm experiencing:
[Not realy a bug but a LG feature]Multiple exchange accounts disabled in LGemail app. Resolved by using the Android mail client and freezing LGemail (thanks for that ).
Camera brightness not listening to "auto" brightness, but uses the manual settings. Maybe it`s just me, but can somebody check the brightness of the camera app after setting the brightness to minimal and then check "Auto".
Hi guys, could anyone tell me why there is a key sign on the notification panel, beside the battery icon? Some say it's because of VPN. I don't have any idea abt it. On the VPN setting, "none" is selected. Anyone who can assist me on this????
It is because of a VPN. Any chance you're using Adguard?

None... I tried booting my phone to safe mode and it's still there. Also, did a factory reset and still there. It means one of the pre-installed apps must have been causing it...
That just means the shortcut panel is hidden/locked. You see when you slide down the notification panel the key sign vanishes

The shortcut to WiFi, Bluetooth, screen brightness. I'm not that good in vocabulary, but lets just say that the key ? means part of the notification panel or whatever panel it's called, is hidden. After you slide down the panel, it vanishes.

Correlation, not causation. The 4G/WIFI signal strength icon disappears too, it's just to make way for the settings cog and the rest.
OP, I can't get a screenshot with status bar pulled down (wtf, why does it retract when I long-press the power button), but I assume under your quick settings it also shows the same key with the text "Network may be monitored"?

Hehe... I was just wondering what that is cos I never have that when I was still using Z1. Again even after doing a factory reset, without installing anything, it's already there. Just kind of curious what that is. Only mwans one of the preinstalled apps is causing it.?

not preinstalled apps. its the system management settings. they are just doing that to keep tidy, and also to show you that "there are more things to see and edit" if you scroll down

Loving this app together with Power Toggles and Simple Control.
This is a great app.
Love this app, one thing annoys me though. I have to swipe down to get out of the notification lock screen after I unlock from fingerprint scanner. Been tinkering and havent found the option to get around that.

Is this when you are unlocking the phone (via FP) while the notification is active? If yes, then you are right it is a minor quibble sort of doing double unlocking.
The idea of this app is to allow you to glance at notification without unlocking the phone.

Never mind... finally figured it out. LoL
I know some people are looking for this. I have been searching through a lot of posts and found some Apk's that didn't work or worked through the Samsung theme blaba. I found one that works without too much trouble, install and reboot! Sometimes it will ask to be Uninstalled when you delete a app. Just click cancel, sorry for original maker but I cannot find the post where I found the Apk.
Make sure to have an alternate way of navigating before installing!

I love the concept but long home press stops working, and alternatives to the nav bar dont work in secure mode.
Does any one know of a working navbar height reducer?
I have tried a few apk's that were working on S8+ but they have no effect on Note 8.
Thanks in advance
**Edit**
Found one
What I'd prefer is the ability to see my nav icons only across the entire system, across all apps, but make the background of the nav bar transparent. Using no themes. Stock. Does that make sense? Things are transparent whilst I'm on the home screen, naturally. So that's not an issue. But across all apps? That's what I'd LOVE to have.

I believe both of those are the same because I am having the same issue. I think the problem is my fingers are too fat to properly hit those smaller icons. :silly:
Probably.
Have you tried reducing the DPI in developer options?
This also has the effect of reducing nav bar size.

That was a long time ago. I currently have it set up as follows.
You can see the height of the nav bar in one of the screen shots.

Hello, I have a couple of questions. I'm using the X2 Pro completely stock on c25 rom.
1. When I try to activate split screen in the settings it gives me a failed toast notification saying "This function is not available in the current mode". What could that mean and how to fix it?
2. Could you make off screen music control gestures work with poweramp?
3. Is there a way to completely remove the VPN notification? Or at least remove it so the icon is not showing on the always on display (which is distracting since I'm expecting regular notifications there)?
4. Is it possible to move the status bar clock to the right and/or add seconds to it (tried with SystemUI Tuner app and didn't work)?
I know this is a lot of questions at once but I guess it would be helpful for everyone.
Thank you in advance.
