Aw seriously? This phone seems to kick ass.
Tried to root it today but no luck. Not totally connected to the comp. It can see both drives but no USB "bug" icon in my notification bar. USB debugging on and unknown sources along with United mobile drivers.

I like the lucid too, but that is just nonsense. The Incredible 4G krait processor outperforms the lucid in every way.

I know its old news by now, but if you have a lucid still, ICS is finally out for it. If you haven't installed yet, I would suggest the computer method, its a lot quicker than doing it OTA, which I couldn't even get to work right.

Lol to the guy above me. don't ya think it's kind of why they push these kind of updates out. they don't like third party tethering apps. then they can't track your data.

I wish we could find someone to figure a downgrade method to go back to 2.3.6 stock with root.

I know you've likely long since moved on but if you don't mind, what exactly does this "computer method" entail?

Nevermind I found it lol http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/lucid_instructions.pdf

Does anybody know how to view the hidden menu on this phone? I am running the 4.0.4. Rooted and I still cannot figure out how to access it. All I really want is to turn off 4Glte on this phone because I live in a no 4G city and my battery is being wasted on 4G scanning. I have tried LTE toggle apps but they get blocked and a little notification saying "access to system info is prohibited " pops up. Being rooted I should have a way to bypass that, but I have no idea what file or app I need to edit to do so. If anyone out here can help me I will be forever grateful. The boys over at android forums have not been able to help. I'm beginning to think there is no hope. If anyone knows the secret code to view the hidden menu or just simply has a way to shut off the program that denies me from viewing system info it would be awesome. Going from a gnex to this in effort to get better battery life has backfired thus far.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this will work on this particular phone but Google "any cut apk" then install any cut and use create new shortcut option. This works one some phones not all.
Wow. I should have read this whole post huh!! Sorry any cut is still fun to play with for a few seconds tho!
I got jb but you should just be able to go to settings and then to mobile networks and change it from lte or global to cmda. That will hit you with 3g and not 4g.

See there is no option to switch from 3g only to 4g/3g modes. That's why I am going crazy trying to find it. I have used any cut and other apps to be able to find this hidden "test mode" menu that I have been digging for. Unfortunately the phone info menu in this setting is still blocked. Every time I try to view it I get a little popup saying "access to phone info is prohobited" thus presenting my problem. I have root explorer and I am not afraid to use it. Does anybody here know what program or permission is prohibiting me? I will edit/delete it as soon as it is located. Nobody is prohibiting me from viewing settings on my phone... At least once I find out how to gain access to them.

Everyone there's finally a rom for the lg lucid. Its cm10 so ics and it is amazing. You can even access the hidden menu in it easily with a bunch of other good features
