Majority Android devices have hidden functions, which include engineering xiaomi menu, and any other phone. It is hidden primarily from inexperienced users so that they do not break firewood.
What is the engineering menu for?
Engineering menu used by developers to finalize the device. Here you can check the operation of all sensors and test the main components. In total, there are about 25 different types of tests.
How to open the engineering menu on Xiaomi smartphones?
To enter the engineering menu on Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, Xiaomi Redmi 3s, Redmi 3 devices (this method is suitable for all Xiaomi smartphones) - you need to enter in dialing mode: *#*#6484#*#*. If this code didn't work, try *#*#4636#*#* .
Another way is to go to Settings >About device. Here you need to click on the inscription “Kernel version” 5 times and the menu will open.
The menu consists of five items:
- automatic test. All parameters will be tested automatically.
- Single Item Test. Here you can run any of the tests separately.
- test report. Here you can see the test results.
- SW add HW version. Find out the version of the smartphone.
- deviceview. All information about the equipment of the device.
If everything is clear with points 1,3,4,5, then the second one needs to be told separately, since it includes a bunch of tests.

As you can see, with the help of the engineering menu, it is possible to get a lot of information. Advanced user with it, you can roll back your smartphone to standard (factory) settings, test the operation of all sensors, find out more detailed information about the device, optimize battery consumption, and much more.
in mobile operating room Android system there are many hidden features, about which ordinary users do not need to know. For example, a smartphone can show CPU and memory usage, record process and application statistics, simulate screen operation in various modes and permissions and much more. All these and a number of other functions are available in developer mode on a smartphone or tablet under Android control. Anyone can turn on developer mode on a device, and it's pretty easy to do. In this article, we will look at how to enable and completely disable developer mode in Android.
How to Enable Developer Mode in Android
More often ordinary user developer mode may be required, if necessary, to debug the device via USB. Below we will give a standard scheme for enabling developer mode, but please note that it may vary slightly depending on the device. For example, on Chinese smartphones by Meizu and Xiaomi, menu items may be called differently or located in the “Advanced” section, and not directly in the settings.
To enable developer mode in Android 6.0, 7.1 and other versions mobile system, you need to do the following:
Important: When you activate a number of settings in developer mode, your smartphone may malfunction. In particular, there is a possibility of data loss on the device, so we recommend that you carefully enable and disable various settings in developer mode.
How to disable developer mode in Android and remove it from the menu
Disabling developer mode is extremely simple, just go to the "For Developers" menu item in the settings and turn the switch in the upper right corner to the "Off" position.
But that will only turn off this mode, while the section itself will remain in the settings. To completely remove it from the menu, you will need to do the following:
After performing the manipulations described above, the "For Developers" section will disappear from the settings menu.
Important: Not all models of smartphones and tablets can find the "Erase data" item in the settings. If there is no such item, you can remove the developer mode from the settings only when full reset smartphone.
We think that many have had such cases when, after some time, after buying, some “gadget” (smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc.), certain problems were revealed in its work. Perhaps you did not use some functions in the first couple of days after purchase, and when you decided to try them in action, they turned out to be not working (this may be a Wi-fi module, 3G (4G), Bluetooth, a 3.5 mm jack for connecting headphones, etc.). If a new device was bought, then in a couple of days, something could hardly have happened to it (unless, of course, it was drowned, dropped, etc. during this period), from here we can conclude that this is a factory defect. In this article, we will tell you how to test the device for defects using the Engineering menu before buying.
ENGINEERING MENU is a built-in utility that allows you to view data about installed components in a smartphone (tablet), as well as check their performance. This utility pre-installed on all smartphones (no need to install third party software), which makes it possible to quickly check compliance with the declared technical specifications, as well as test all components of the device.
Example:
It's no secret that in the same model Xiaomi smartphones, different display matrices can be set. The engineering menu (hereinafter referred to as “IM”) allows, before buying, with the type of matrix that, in your opinion (or according to experts), is considered the best, and immediately check it “for broken pixels”. You can also see which camera modules are installed in this device.
IM presents a large number of tests that can easily detect a malfunction of any smartphone module. Also, there is the ability to configure some components, for example, the calibration of sensors. Next, we will describe in more detail all the possible functions of "IM".
HOW TO ENTER "IM"?
There are several ways to enter:
1. In standard application "Phone" (in third-party "dialers" - does not work), dial: *#*#6484#*#*
This combination is the most common, but if it doesn’t work for you, then try the following options: *#*#3646633#*#* or *#*#4636#*#*
2. Go to "Settings" - "About phone" - click 5 times in a row on the item "Kernel version"
until "IM" appears
Now consider all the points of "IM" in more detail:
1.Software version
This is the first and only item that displays information about installed components, their manufacturers, IDs, and versions, all subsequent items are tests. When you exit this item, "IM" will offer to pass a full test.
If you click “OK” now, the entire test cycle will start, if you select “Cancel”, you will return to home page"THEM".
So, let's move on to the tests and their description.
2.SIM test
At this point, the installed in the smartphone are tested SIM cards, an example of passing the test is as follows:
Press "OK" to move to the next test. When you click "Error", you return to the main page "IM" (this will be the case in all tests, we will not focus on this further).
3. Color
This test is for identifying dead pixels on a smartphone screen. If you have the opportunity to conduct this test before buying a smartphone (you buy in a store, and do not order via the Internet), make sure you do it(of course, this is true only for displays with an IPS matrix, Amoled displays are free from this drawback, due to their design features). If you find the presence of a broken pixel (or several) after the purchase, no seller (whether it is a regular store in your city or an online store) will replace it with another one with a normal screen. the presence of a broken pixel (even a few) is not a warranty case, their presence is allowed, and in such an amount that you can never dispute that your phone really has a “factory defect”. There were cases when a smartphone ordered through an online store (Aliexpress) had a dead pixel (it glowed white on a black background, right in the center of the screen, it looked very “disgusting”, especially when watching a video). I had to “communicate” with the seller for a very long time about this (because a dispute was opened), who did not want to compensate for part of the acquisition costs this smartphone, arguing this just by the fact that this is not considered a marriage. As a result, we managed to agree on the amount of compensation of $ 10 (when opening a dispute, more was declared). What is most interesting, this pixel was cured using the program "Pixel Fixer", and to this day the smartphone has no problems displaying information on the display (more than 1.5 years).
On the desktop, in everyday use, a dead pixel may not appear. It can glow in any color on a black background, or vice versa, on a white one. There are options for the glow and other colors. That is why this test presents the primary colors, on which it is quite easy to identify a dead pixel, if any. When conducting this test, it is better to turn on the maximum brightness of the screen.
4. Touchpanel self test
The screen test passes without user intervention, after which it moves on to the next test.
5.Play Music on SD
This test is designed to test the main speaker of the smartphone. Through this speaker, a woman's voice plays the numbers that you must dial on the numeric keypad displayed on the screen.

CONCLUSION:
As can be seen from the review of tests, "IM" allows you to test almost all elements of the smartphone, and identify (if any) malfunctions. There is also the possibility of calibrating certain sensors, this can help if any sensor does not perform the functions assigned to it or performs them incorrectly.
Now you know how to protect yourself when buying a new smartphone. Be sure to check the smartphone before purchasing, you may be able to identify malfunctions and replace the smartphone with another one that does not have these problems. This, in turn, can save you a huge amount of time and nerves if you have to go to a service to repair or replace your smartphone under warranty.
