Android Top Secret Codes!

Do you own an Android? Almost every mobile device whether it is a smartphone, phablet or a tablet, these all are powered by Android OS nowadays. Google started the Android project in 2005. Android is a sensation. It has the most percent of share in the smart phone market in half of the time any other mobile OS might have taken. The best part about Android which I like is its open source. If you want you can play directly with source code the only condition is you should be damn good in coding stuff.


If you wish to check the prepaid balance of your number then either you need to call the customer care or enter a code in the dialing screen and dial it. In this post I am going to share some kind of codes or should I say operating system specific codes which do not check your balance but can do much more than that.

Similar kind of codes are available for Symbian, Java and other mobile operating systems but here we are discussing only Android so don’t even think of using them in any other handset. Otherwise….

Simple, they won’t work

Before starting you should know that the working of codes might depend on your hardware and Android version so might be some of them won’t work in your smart phone but they do in others

Now without wasting much time, let us begin:

Cell Battery, Wi-Fi Usage etc. Info *#*#4636#*#*
Restore Factory Settings *#*#7780#*#*
Format Phone *2767*3855#
Launch service mode *#*#197328640#*#*

Display WiFi MAC address *#*#232338#*#*
GPS test *#*#1472365#*#*
Other GPS test *#*#1575#*#*

Display touchscreen version *#*#2663#*#*
Touchscreen test *#*#2664#*#*
Distance sensor test *#*#0588#*#*
Display memory version *#*#3264#*#*
Using these codes is not rocket science, they work the same as the IMEI code (*#06#). All you need to do is just enter the code and see the result.

And remember use these codes at your own risk because due to some updates they might conflict with your android version.
