NOTE: This article has been featured by many Google Android websites and
magazines. AskVG.com was the first website posting these unique codes.
Recently I got a Google Android mobile phone "Samsung Galaxy I7500". While I'm
loving playing with it, I also found some interesting secret codes which can
enable/disable lots of hidden settings in the mobile phone. These codes can
also show many useful information about the phone.
So in this topic, you'll get several hidden secret codes which can be used in
any Google Android mobile phone to access things which are not accessible by
default.
FYI These codes have been obtained by decoding various .apk files present in
the phone firmware.

intended for basic users, hackers, or mobile thieves. Please do not try any of
following methods if you are not familiar with mobile phones. We'll not be
responsible for the use or misuse of this information, including loss of data
or hardware damage. So use it at your own risk.
*#*#4636#*#*
This code can be used to get some interesting information about your phone and
battery. It shows following 4 menus on screen:
Phone informationBattery informationBattery historyUsage statistics
*#*#7780#*#*
This code can be used for a factory data reset. It'll remove following things:
Google account settings stored in your phoneSystem and application data and
settingsDownloaded applications
It'll NOT remove:
Current system software and bundled applicationsSD 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#
Think before you give this code. 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. So think twice before giving this code.
*#*#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 cardGet camera firmware versionGet 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:
