Secret Codes for Android Phone


While I was browsing the web, I found some interesting codes for Android phone which can enable/disable lots of hidden settings and show many useful information about the phone. These hidden codes can be used in any Google Android mobile phone to access things which are not accessible by default.

    *#*#4636#*#*

This code can be used to get some interesting information about your phone and battery. It shows following 4 menus on screen:

    * Phone information
    * Battery information
    * Battery history
    * Usage statistics

   *#*#7780#*#*

This code can be used for a factory data reset. It'll remove:

    * Google account settings stored in your phone
    * System and application data and settings
    * Downloaded applications

It will NOT remove:

    * Current system software and bundled applications
    * SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.

PS: Once you give this code, you get a prompt screen asking you to click on "Reset phone" button. So you get a chance to cancel your operation.

    *2767*3855#

This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.
PS: Once you give this code, there is no way to cancel the operation unless you remove the battery from the phone.

    *#*#34971539#*#*

This code is used to get information about phone camera. It shows following 4 menus:

    * Update camera firmware in image (Don't try this option)
    * Update camera firmware in SD card
    * Get camera firmware version
    * Get firmware update count

WARNING: Never use the first option otherwise your phone camera will stop working and you'll need to take your phone to service center to reinstall camera firmware.

    *#*#7594#*#*

This one is my favorite one. This code can be used to change the "End Call / Power" button action in your phone. Be default, if you long press the button, it shows a screen asking you to select any option from Silent mode, Airplane mode and Power off.
You can change this action using this code. You can enable direct power off on this button so you don't need to waste your time in selecting the option.


    *#*#273283*255*663282*#*#*

This code opens a File copy screen where you can backup your media files e.g. Images, Sound, Video and Voice memo.

    *#*#197328640#*#*

This code can be used to enter into Service mode. You can run various tests and change settings in the service mode.

WLAN, GPS and Bluetooth Test Codes:

    *#*#232339#*#*

    *#*#526#*#*

    *#*#528#*#*

WLAN test (Use "Menu" button to start various tests)

    *#*#232338#*#*     - Shows WiFi MAC address
    *#*#1472365#*#*  - GPS test
    *#*#1575#*#*          - Another GPS test
    *#*#232331#*#*  - Bluetooth test
    *#*#232337#*#  - Shows Bluetooth device address

Launch GTalk Service Monitor :

    *#*#8255#*#*

Boot your Droid X into recovery mode


It’s always good to know how to get it into recovery mode. This little trick probably won’t be used much until the Android hacking/developing crowd gains root access to our new Droid X, but you might as well know about it now. And no, this won’t brick your phone.

Instructions…

1.  Turn your phone off.
2.  Hold down “Home” and press “Power” until the Motorola logo appears.
3.  Release  ”Power” and continue to hold “Home” until an exclamation appears.
4.  Release “Home” and press the “Search” button once.
5.  Your phone will now enter recovery.

To get out of it, simply use your volume up and down buttons until “reboot system now” is highlighted and then press the camera button.
