Secret codes for android. Service (secret) codes for Android smartphones Buttons for quick work with dialog boxes
The term "secret codes for Android" refers to such combinations of characters that were originally intended to test devices on which this operating system is installed.
With their help, developers check phones and tablets before they are sent for sale. And their total number reaches several tens.
The introduction of a certain sequence allows you to get data or perform actions that are not available to ordinary users. For example, find out the IMEI identifier, reset the system to factory settings, or check the operation of individual modules.
Features of "secret" ciphers
Many users who are faced with the need to use such commands may wonder why they are secret.
First of all, combinations of symbols and numbers received such a name due to the fact that most owners of gadgets on this OS do not need them. And there is no mention of these commands in the instructions.
To use any of them, you need to enter the "Phone" application in the dialer (green or blue handset on the main screen).
Tablets without a 3G module do not have this feature by default. And in order to run the codes, the user must download a special application by finding it in PlayMarket on the request "Dialer".
Combinations for any Android gadget
Information sequences allow obtaining data on various characteristics of the device and its individual elements:
- *#06# - about the IMEI number;
- *#*#4636#*#* - about the battery and the Wi-Fi network;
- *#*#44336#*#* - about the firmware, including the CSC number and build date;
- *#*#232338#*#* – about the wireless network address;
- *#34971539# - about the gadget's cameras;
- *#*#1234#*#* (although *#2222# works much more often) - about the firmware.
By entering *#*#1111#*#*, you can get information about the software version on the screen.
The introduction *#*#2222#*#* shows data about the board of a smartphone or tablet.
Information about the sensor version will be shown by the code *#*#2663#*#*, about RAM - *#*#3264#*#*, and Bluetooth address data - *#*#232337#*#*.
Commands for Verification and Tests
To test the device, there is a group:
- Google Talk service check provides the sequence *#*#8255#*#*;
- to check the operation of the display - *#*#0*#*#*;
- for testing different parts (from camera to microphone) – *#0*#;
- for the audio test - two at once: *#*#0673#*#* and *#*#0289#*#*.
You can check the operation of the backlight and vibration by entering the combination *#*#0842#*#*.
The Wi-Fi wireless network is tested using the command *#*#232339#*#* and additional *#*#526#*#*.
The GPS sensor test is performed by sending the commands *#*#1472365#*#* (for a normal test) or *#*#1575#*#*.
The Bluetooth network is checked via *#*#232331#*#*.
A few more useful commands allow you to test the performance of the screen (*#*#2664#*#*), motion detectors (*#*#0588#*#*) and the GSM module (*#*#7262626#*#*). And entering * # 197328640 # provides a transition to the service mode.
Dangerous Combinations
There are several options, by entering which, you can make serious changes to the system without the ability to return to its original state. These include, for example, *#*#7780#*#* and *2767*3855#.
The first one provides a reset of all settings and removal of applications installed by the user, the second command leads to a complete reinstallation of the system.
The combination *#*#7594#*#* allows you to get rid of the shutdown menu - when you press the corresponding button, the tablet or smartphone will automatically turn off without asking the user anything.
Selecting the code *#*#8351#*#* is needed to enable voice dialing registration, and *#*#8350#*#* to disable this mode. The sequence #*5376# is used to delete messages, and several combinations for Android like #*3876#, #*3851# and #*2562# restart the gadget.
Special codes for products of individual manufacturers
There are several combinations that are only suitable for certain models or brands of gadgets. They can be summarized in a small table.
In addition to these, there are other commands. A special Secret Codes application from PlayMarket will help you find them. With it, you can even find those that are not on the list.
You should know: Not all of the sequences, even universal ones, will work on every smartphone. The use of a secret combination can be limited by root rights or a self-reinstalled operating system, taken not from the official site, but from third-party sources.
Results
Most of them should be used very carefully. Especially, those of them that not only give out some information, but also make changes to the operating system or firmware. When used correctly, engineering combinations can be quite useful.
You can find anything on Google. Just not your phone number on the SIM card.
How to find out - quickly and from any operator?
Collected all methods in one material.
Universal ways
- Look in the contract with the operator or on the starter package;
- Call the operator and ask;
- Call the number of a person in whose phone book you are not. The number will be displayed on the screen;
- Call the number of the person you have in the phone book. After that, he will be able to find out your number by clicking on your name in the call list.
MTS
- command *111*0887#;
- call to number 0887;
- in the application "My MTS" (version for iOS, Android).
Beeline
- command *110*10#;
- call to number 067410;
- in the application "My Beeline" (for iOS, Android);
- for a USB modem: in the Beeline USB modem application, go to the "Account Management" section and select the "My number" item, then click "Find out the number".
Megaphone
- command *205#;
- turn on data transfer (mobile Internet) and go to the megafon.ru website (or to a regional subsite). The number will be displayed in your personal account, and on other pages - at the top of the screen;
- in the Megafon Personal Account application (for iOS, Android).
Tele2
- command *201#;
- in the My Tele2 application (for iOS, Android).
Yota
- command *103#;
- in the Yota application (for iOS, Android).
Methods for iPhone
- “Settings” - “Phone” - “My number” (above);
- Home menu - "Phone" - "Contacts" (above);
- In iTunes: "Devices" - "Summary" - "Phone Number".
Method for iPad (with 3G/4G)
- “Settings” - “Number for cellular data”.
Method for Android
- “Settings” - “About phone” - “Status” - “SIM status” - “My phone number”.
If you have an Android skin installed, the names of the items may differ.
It happens that the number is not shown. This happens when you reissued or changed the SIM card in the operator's salon.
Employees copy encryption keys and other important information from the old card to the new one. But they forget to fill in the “Your number” cell.
Messengers
- WhatsApp: click on the three dots in the upper right corner - "Settings" - touch your nickname. The number is the last line.
- Viber: click “More” (button in the lower right corner). The number will be displayed under the avatar and nickname.
- Telegram: main menu (three bars in the upper left corner). The number will be visible at the top.
Why is it important to know your number?
When you buy a beautiful number from your hands, a completely different value can be written into the SIM card memory. It is stored in the “Own number” memory cell.
If the scammer changed “Your number”, then a beautiful number will be displayed in the smartphone settings. And on the network - a real one, issued by the operator.
Calling another number or checking the methods offered by the operator will help not to be disappointed in the purchase.
And in general, it is not safe to buy numbers from hands. If you then link such a number to a bank card, the real owner of the number will be able to get a duplicate SIM card and leave you without money.
How to change the number directly on the SIM card
Find an old push-button Siemens A50 or its “colleagues”, insert a SIM card into it, find “Your number” in contacts and write everything you like there, then save. You can even ignore the format.
Another option is an ancient smartphone with Android 4.1 and below.
- Go to "Settings" - "SIM card management" and turn off the desired card (or switch to flight mode).
- Click on the name of the SIM card and go to the "Information about the SIM card" section.
- Select "Enter phone number" and enter the desired number.
The same works in some Android skins (eg MIUI).
But in any case, your network number will not change from this. And then everyone would go with beautiful numbers.

8 combinations on your phone will help you find out if you are being tapped. How much talk lately about wiretapping, which suits intelligence officers, be it an ordinary worker or a high-ranking figure. But no one fully knows how deep security officers can go in listening to mobile devices.
Perhaps this is just a figment of the sick fantasy of the mass media and spy films that do not cease to be popular all over the world, and there are no auditions at all.
Below are 8 combinations on your phone to help you figure it out. These combinations are not known to most phone users, not even every operator knows about them.
1. *#43#
Displays information about call waiting on the phone.
2.*777# (code for Ukraine)
Find out your current balance and display the menu of the mobile operator, depending on which one you are currently using.
3. *#06#
This code allows you to get unique IMEI data of any phone.
4. *#21#
With this combination, you can find out if your calls, SMS or other data are coming to someone else besides you. All this can be done by finding out if call forwarding is enabled on the smartphone.
5. *#33#
Information is displayed about which services your phone supports and which of them are coming from the device at the moment. It can be calls, sms and much more.
6. *#62#
Shows the number to which your calls and data are forwarded, if any.
7. ##002#
This code is used to disable call forwarding so that only the owner of the machine, i.e. you, can receive calls.
8. *#30#
Gives the necessary information to determine the number of incoming calls.
These simple combinations can protect you from easy ways to infiltrate your phone from the outside. However, from more complex methods, if any, they are unlikely to be reliable protection.
Secret codes for iPhone: pushing the boundaries of what's possible
Did you know that the iPhone has secret codes? With their help, you can see a lot: from signal strength to call forwarding status. So let's see what we can do here:
1. Hide your phone number
If you need to hide your phone number, it is enough to perform this simple manipulation, and you will already be calling as “Unknown”.
Sticks and dashes are today a visual embodiment of signal strength that lacks precision. Turn on “Field Test Mode” or “Field Test Mode” and dial the number as above. Then after starting the call, hold down the power button. Once the screen turns off, press the center button and wait until you return to the home screen. You will be interested in the number in the upper left corner of the iPhone, which will replace the sticks, indicating signal strength.
3. Find out your unique phone code
It is in the settings, but in order not to search for a long time, just dial the following combination of numbers.
4. Determine where your messages are coming from
Any SMS first gets to the SMS center by a special identification number. To find out, dial *#5005*7672# and call! Voila!
5. Call barring and call waiting
The call barring mode allows you to block incoming and outgoing calls, and the “waiting” mode allows you to hold the current or incoming call. If you have paid for both of these services, you can use the above codes. Share this useful information with your family and friends!
We use our smartphones all the time: for work, study, calls and correspondence, as well as for games and entertainment. Some literally cannot imagine life without their device. But do we know everything about our smartphones? It turns out that there are secret possibilities that many do not know about.
First, let's talk about security. Fraudsters are becoming more and more creative and often use our phones as tracking devices or for other escapades. But for this, protection was invented. You can simply type a certain key combination and find out if anyone is following you. 
SECURITY CODES
*#21#
This code shows if your calls or messages are being forwarded to other numbers. Dial this code and the screen will display the number where your calls are redirected. If nothing appears, then there is no danger.##002#
If there is any suspicion that forwarding is enabled, you can dial this combination. It will disable all types of call forwarding that is configured on the phone. The code is valid for all smartphones.
It is good to remember this combination before traveling to another country. This will help you not to lose money while roaming. So calls will not be transferred to voice mail and money will not be withdrawn from the account.
*#06#
This combination displays the phone's identification number, the so-called IMEI. Knowing these numbers, you can find a stolen phone. 
If we talk about security, then do not forget that a lot depends on you. Take care of your safety. Never give your phone to strangers, even for a couple of minutes. Use only trusted apps and don't download them from suspicious sites. Use instant messengers that are closed from strangers.
And now let's talk about other useful codes for smartphones. They are suitable for Android phones and will not work on other models. Use cheats with caution, because some of them cannot be canceled. If you're not sure, it's best not to use it.
ANDROID SETTING CODES
*#*#7780#*#* - Reset settings, completely removes all applications, you cannot undo the action.
*2767*3855# - factory reset, deletes everything from the phone's internal memory.
*#*#4636#*#* - complete information about the phone.
*#*#34971539#*#* - complete information about the camera.
*#*#273283*255*663282*#*#* - fast file backup. 
*#*#232339#*#* / *#*#526#*#* - quick wireless network test.
*#*#1472365#*#* - quick GPS test.
*#*#0673#*#* / *#*#0289#*#* - audio test.
*#*#0842#*#* - vibration and backlight check.
*#*#232337#*#* - Bluetooth test. 
#31# (phone number) - hides your number for any subscriber.
#*2562#/#*3852# - reboot the phone.
#*5376# - delete all SMS.
The codes are triggered using the dialer application. It must be typed on the numeric keypad, it will work without pressing the call button. Now you know even more about your smartphone and can use it to the fullest.
