Is there a way to unlock the Nexus ServiceMode app?

Correct, the Stratosphere uses the same combination of Via 7.1 + CMC220. If you want to unlock ServiceMode on the Charge (or Fascinate, and possibly the Stratosphere), try the following from: http://androidforums.com/samsung-droid-charge/3713...
"Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button."
Then you should be able to dial *#0011# (which is the Samsung shortcut for field test inside ServiceMenu) and compare actual LTE RSRP.

Does anyone know if this or something similar is possible with the Nexus? I could not make it work with the Nexus. The reason that I ask is there used to be a way to lock the Droid Charge into LTE only mode using the ServiceMode app. I also have the Thunderbolt and it is possible through the testing app to lock it into LTE mode. I really find this to be very helpful in areas that I know have LTE but where the phone wants to stay in 3G mode.
