Our phones have a multitude of functions that allow us to get the most out of its different hardware features. And there are also others that allow us to verify that its operation is correct in each of the aspects. For this we can access a hidden menu, which allows us to access little-known areas of our Motorola mobile .
Secret menus are undoubtedly one of the main interests of many mobile users, who see in them a way to find new functionalities that would otherwise be hidden and could not be used.
How do you access the secret menu?
Over the years the Motorola firm has been changing hands, you will remember that not long ago the firm belonged to Google, and then it passed into the hands of the Chinese giant Lenovo. Logically many of the options of the old Motorola are not the same that can be enjoyed in the models under the Chinese manufacturer. There are secret menus that years ago worked, or rather, which were accessed in a way, and which are no longer accessed the same way. But the truth is that in the Motorola mobiles developed by Lenovo, the most recent ones, it is quite easy to access this secret menu. To do this you just have to do the following:
- Open the phone app
- Select the dial pad
- Enter the code * # * # 2486 # * # *
- After doing so, the CQATest menu will open
What is this secret Motorola menu for?
We are basically facing a test mode , which in other mobiles is also called engineer mode . And it is precisely to check that all the components of the phone work correctly. In this menu we have the possibility of doing an individual test of any of the components, or an integral one, which tests the different components one after the other. Of course, once we start this comprehensive test, pressing the second button, the ” sequence mode ” button, we cannot carry out any other type of test until all the tests have finished in this way.
Basically with this mode we can check that everything on our mobile works correctly. Like the touchpad, the physical buttons, the sensors that the phone has. So if you notice that something in your Motorola phone does not work correctly, you can do one of these tests to verify that there is really nothing to worry about. We are not talking about a secret menu with which to play, but its use should be avoided unless it is strictly necessary, although it is always good to know how to access it in case we need to check something.
