Hello guys, hope everybody is doing great. I need an answer for a problem I'm facing.
If you press *#0*# on your S8/S8+/Note8/S9, you'll enter Samsung secret diagnostic menu. Then if you click on Dimming Test, you get to check your phones dimming. But, there's no way to exit that test! On older phones, you can use hardware back keys to exit it. But on latest devices soft keys gets hidden and can't be used to quit. But as I can't quit the test, whenever now I go to the secret menu it directly goes to dimming test and I can't run any other test. Experts please let me know if you know how to fix it. Thanks.

Nav Bar shouldn't be hidden - If it's in Full Screen mode for some reason - Swiping up from the bottom should reveal the Nav Bar - See the video attached 🐧 https://youtu.be/3yKjDBDKwWE

ps. Google is your friend 😉

No no, try the test yourself. Navbar will be hidden and swiping up won't work. I googled a lot lol but I missed that video! So pressing power button will exit it

Pressing the Volume UP button will exit the test.

No idea, but why not just use the Diagnostics on the Samsung Members app?

I couldn't get it to work either but I just said "ok google" and then hard pressed where the home button should be.

Nav bar is sometimes disabled and disappears in some tests that enable full screen. In which case tapping the screen or pressing the power button usually exits the test. Other tests give a back button you can tap to exit.

The diagnostic mode does not utilize nav bar or any hardware buttons. you exit the diagnostic mode when compete the test.
