Launching a Hidden App from Device Info

Beginning with webOS 3.0 (build #3025+), you no longer need to use the PhoneApp's dial-pad to run hidden applications such as "CollectLogs" and "USBPassthrough".

Because we cannot rely on the PhoneApp's dial-pad to be easily accessible, we added a new screen to the Device Info application to enter the codes for these applications.

To run a hidden application

1. Launch Device Info and tap its top-left menu.

2. Select "Custom Application..."

3. Enter the code you would have entered in the PhoneApp's dial-pad.

Notes:

• Eventually, support for the PhoneApp dial-pad is going to be removed but, currently, its only unsupported 'hidden' application is the in-store demo.

• You can use either the ## or #* prefix.

• You can use either the numeric code (i.e., ##5647# ) or the alphabetic code (i.e., ##LOGS# ) from the normal keypad.

• Entries for alphabetic codes are not case sensitive. For example, the following are identical: ##LOGS#, ##logs#, ##Logs#

• "CollectLogs" will be hidden before the TouchPad ships.
