*Secret Codes of Android Phones*
DISCLAIMER: This information is intended for experienced users. It is not 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.
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.
*#*#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 following things:
* Google account settings stored in your phone
* System and application data and settings
* Downloaded applications
It'll 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#
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 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#*#* OR *#*#526#*#* OR *#*#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
*#*#8255#*#*
This code can be used to launch GTalk Service Monitor.
Codes to get Firmware version information:
*#*#4986*2650468#*#* - PDA, Phone, H/W, RFCallDate
*#*#1234#*#* - PDA and Phone
*#*#1111#*#* - FTA SW Version
*#*#2222#*#* - FTA HW Version
*#*#44336#*#* - PDA, Phone, CSC, Build Time, Changelist number
Codes to launch various Factory Tests:
*#*#0283#*#* - Packet Loopback
*#*#0*#*#* - LCD test
*#*#0673#*#* OR *#*#0289#*#* - Melody test
*#*#0842#*#* - Device test (Vibration test and BackLight test)
*#*#2663#*#* - Touch screen version
*#*#2664#*#* - Touch screen test
*#*#0588#*#* - Proximity sensor test
*#*#3264#*#* - RAM version

I just have two things to say:
1. Since I already have a section on this in my sticky, this thread should be closed (no duplicate threads).
2. Most codes? More like more than half don't work.
I'm not trying to be mean. It's just that you need to search before posting new threads. Not to mention that all you did to make this thread is copy and paste from other threads/sites without checking to see if the codes even work. I do not think O1 users want to waste any time on codes that don't work for their phone. No point in arguing against me because all I have to do is contact a mod to see if they agree with me.

Normally I would agree creating threads just to get thanks and ultimately get people to feed your ego is wrong. But so is trying to bully the person into not disputing with you.

What I'm trying to say is, at least clean up the post so that it only has codes that actually work for our phone. I can easily copy and paste the codes too, but then the thread would go in a more general forum.
And if you think I am "overreacting" it is because it kinda sucks to already have a section on such codes put together when some other guy comes along, makes a new thread, and does a crappier job at it. You know, for all we know you are not supposed to have this thread because duplicates are a no no. If I were to do that to you, I'm sure you would understand how I feel.
Btw, do you even have an O1?

Hi Everbody,
I am Shailesh Ashar and this is the first time I am getting my hands dirty with Windows Mobile development.
So here is a little app that I developed : Group SMS Solution.
As the name suggest it is basically a program to send smses to a group of people at the same time.
Foll. are the features:
1. Category Wise Contact Pickup
2. Individual Contact Pickup made easy
3. works with WM5 and WM6.
4. Seems to be moderately paced as it is written using managed code but does the job well.
5. It is free.
PREREQUISITES:
.NET Compact framework 2
download here :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displaylang=en
DISCLAIMER:
This program is written using managed code so it technically cannot harm your windows mobile device but anyways do not blame me for anything.
[size=+1]
To Download go to http://shaileshashar.110mb.com/groupsms.php
Feel free to link to the download page but please do not link directly to the cab files. I want some traffic on my website.

Fixed a small bug while loading categories , as pointed out by SayMobile
Hi shailesh, great work..let me test and come back
Feedback
Pls do give me Feedback, suggestions etc as this is my First app & it will really Keep me ticking.
Very well done shailesh now it will help me send group message.
Thanks

Hey I am not a depressed soul although the quote is very thought provoking. Checkout the Superman logo as my avatar.
thnaks first
it is working with my imate jasjam although i installed net framework 2
the message appear:ERROR
"this application requires a newer version of Microsoft NET Compact Framework than the version installed on the device."!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:
Nice app - well done. Works just fine on my artemis, cheers
Hi Shailesh,
This is certainly a very nice and extremely useful app for WM devices.
I've tested it briefly on my WM5 Herald and it works great. I do have a few minor bug reports and feature suggestions for your next version:
1. When contacts belong to multiple custom groups, it lists the same group twice with a space before the group name. So if some contacts are in the group called Ping and others are in the group called Pong and yet others are in both groups, it will list "Ping", "Pong" and " Ping" and " Pong"
2. Could you possibly add a context menu for the text editor where you do Cut/Copy/Paste rather than the Paste from Clipboard button?
3. In the final screen, if you press Back, it takes you right back to the first text entry screen rather than just one screen back.
Will test and give you any further inputs soon.
Thank you for the excellent app that you've given to the community for free!

Hey thanks for pointing out the bug SayMobile,
#1. I have fixed the bug as pointed out
#2. I thought the framework would automatically provide the Cut/Copy/Paste feature but it did not, anyways the button is doing the needful.
#3. It have purposely kept it that way
Please download the new cab from the first page.

Please restart your device after installing NET Compact Framework 2.
If it still does not work then re-install GroupSMS.

This is a finger friendly stock tracker. You will need CFNET3.5. While not specific to the Diamond, I have not tested this on any other device but my Diamond. Its should work on qvga devices, but I have not tried it yet. Leave suggestions in this thread, as I will monitor it. Play and have fun.

Symbols?
Hi!
Could you give me an advice which short symbols i have to use?
I am from Germany. We use dfferent Numbers etc.
Anyway the program idea is great.
Cheers
Max
Not too sure how to use this..
Added the symbol but it just didn't logon to the net to update any information. Clicked on the refresh button didn't work either.

Not sure what the problem would be. My Diamond always has GPRS on, so let me see if I can disconnect it, then run Stocker.

That is just it. Tracking stocks on Wallstreet.
Thank you.
I'm french, I didn't understand "stock"
thanks for your app, however Its not of much use to me...
I have entered different stock symbols, with dot or comma (kat.ca / kat,ca) but its just not able to get any infos from the net... not even the gold price is trackable (xau,co), is it only grabbing wallstreet info?
It would be great if you could implement more markets, is that possible?

Same problem with my Samsung Omnia. Tried german and us symbols. only says N/A...
Been looking for something like this...have any screen prints? Does it track multiple tickers at once, or must enter one ticker at a time? I'm looking for at least 12 tickers to update when requested.
Thanks, and keep up the great work everyone!!!
View Details of Stock & deleting stocks
Hi,
I've been using this application for past 2-3weeks and I like it a lot. It gives me instant information about the Indian stocks & markets.
However, I have couple of issues.
1. How can I view the details of the stock? In Softpedia, there are screen shots of the application displaying details like stock graph, day low/high, etc. But, I'm not able to get this screen.
2. I've entered some wrong stock code which I'd like to delete. However, pressing the delete button in the menu does not do anything.
Regards,
Pradeep
Good one, but:
1. Screenshots please
2. Tracks more than 1 stock?
3. Global markets support - NYSE, NASDAQ, LDE, FTSE, CAC40, HangSang, etc .... which ones?

I've been searching for quite some time for the program for searching contact and handling its information, (I have over 1200 contacts), and then yesterday I found O3Touch. Though I'm still only at the start stages, I find that searching is extremely fast and resembles nothing I've seen before. What I am still having trouble understanding from the manual, is how to find a contact by its company name?

Hi Sigal
First go to settings page 1, press Search mode button until you get "Search mode contain " then close settings. Now type the name of the company and you'll see the first 4 contacts of the same company, if you have more than 4 press on what you typed on the top and you'll get all.
Greetings

Hi Sigal and welcome,
As a person that use this wonderful dialer (and much more ), for quiet a lot of time, I can tell you that you won't replace this app with any other dialer. In just 3-4 days you will be at the end of the learning stage, just use it (you don't have any other choices )
As for your question - Just search regularly as you search for names, but be sure that you are in CONTAIN mode, otherwise it will only search in name/family.
(I will explain as a TOUCH PHONE user not SMARTPHONE)
This is done in 2 ways :
1. Settings page 1/8 line 4 (touch logo button and goto Settings)
2. Start searching and touch to the right of the search string where is say "Start with", and it will change to CONTAIN, and from now will search in this mode.
If it finds more then 4 results, just touch the SEARCH STRING to list all the results.
And... if you would like to be updated in Hebrew and see whats new, goto the Freak forum at:
http://www.pocketpcfreak.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Himalaya;action=display;num=1233437360
Enjoy!
I can say that the three of us should go to sleep now
That's what I am going to do now.
Good night everyone....
many thanx
to all who posted replies to my question; very helpful
So I went chatting with a support person today, and got this response..
AgentJamie M
I do apologize however the lock code is not provided until device is no longer on a term subscription that is under a current contract.
Has anybody else run into this problem? I'm sure with the Hero not out very long, nobody here has paid the stupid thing off completely, or completed a two year agreement.
Is there any other way to get the MSL? The adb info or whatever command doesn't return the MSL. I'm using DamageControl 2.1
call cs and ask for it ...if that operator wont give it to you call back and ask again one of them will give it to you i got mine on first call
Just a heads up.. You might be able to do this for a short while..
They won't even give MSL's to agent's over the phone anymore, and soon the MSL is going to be gone, most phones are going to OTA activations and phasing out giving programming information...
Shoot me a PM and I can help you out.....
PM Me- ill get it to you. (employee)
I called and asked for mine just yesterday. I told her that I needed it to change a setting on my phone and she gave it to me right away.
I would take 702DROID's advice and keep trying. You'll get it from one of them.
Just called, got the same answer, asked for somebody higher up, got the same exact answer right away before I even asked. Called back, asked for somebody higher up again, got the same answer.
Not my lucky day, I'll call tomorrow I guess.
************************************************** ********
This is a modified guide I wrote for the samsung instinct that will walk you through how to get your MSL code and what to do with it.
DISCLAIMER, I am ###NOT### responsible for any damage you do to your phone or your phone network with this information
************************************************** ********
---- How to access programming and service menus---
*NOTE* only do this from an official build from sprint, anything with a modified dialer might not work *NOTE*
*NOTE* only confirmed to work with official 1.5 or roms based off of official 1.5 ie fresh 1.1 *NOTE*
On your phone go to the dialer, then dail in any one of these codes below and after the last # you should get the menu or it will ask for "current code" aka your MSL #
##data# (##3282#)
##debug#(##33284#)
##diag#(##3424#)
##svn#(##786#)
##prl#(##775#)
##prev#(##7738#)
##akey#(##2539#)
##vocoder# (##8626337#)
-------How to get your MSL code---------------
1) download required 3rd party app
download demo version of CDMA WORKSHOP from
http://www.cdma-ware.com
**not required to get MSL** download qpst version 2.7b323 (advanced program for making changes to radio programming)
http://rs714.rapidshare.com/files/297770360/qpst.zip
2) install the HTC HERO DIAG drivers
http://rs79.rapidshare.com/files/293529424/HTC_Hero_DIAG_Drivers.zip
3)connect your phone via usb cable
4)dial ##diag# (##3424#) on your phone for diag menu, when prompted direct windows to diag drivers listed above
5)run CDMA WORKSHOP, settings at main screen on the right are as follows
com settings (AT mode)
---------------
Port (com#) <--- click port and it should say "HTC DIAG COM PORT"
Baud rate (115200) <--- use this setting
com settings (DM mode)
---------------
Baud rate (115200) <--- use this setting
6) you should now be able to hit <connect> if it was successful you'll see in status bar <connected to com#>
7) now click <read> after a moment all your info will come up on left panel, phone # etc
8) click on security tab change the right panel setting and look for the following block
SPC/User Lock
----------------
Defualt (nv_read) <--- use this setting
9)now click read if done sucessfully you'll see the block below this option flash red and give you a number
10)note the 6 digit number under <SPC/USER LOCK> the one that flashed red, ****this is your MSL number***
***** just an additional warning***** you can REALLY and I mean REALLY screw up your phone if you change one of the settings in those menus if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing. This isn't for the faint of heart or the random tinkerer.... just be warned
johnsongrantr said:
if you can't find it from that guy.... let me know if you want me to pull up my guide on how to get it manually from the phone it's self.

good because I was just about to ask you to give it to me too lol, probably along with everyone else reading this thread
I would strongly encourage everyone not to **** with **** in there though.... an RUU will not recover if you change the wrong thing.... and will require sprint to get involved (if the tech you are talking to is smart enough to fix it)
Problem is, I need the Eris numbers. I had to use ##788+call to get to the menu to edit the SIC.
Im pretty sure QPST is proprietary and also considered Warez since its not readily available. I would take it down if I were you...
I really don't like asking this because I know someone will end up bricking their phone from this post but I am curious.
what usefulness does this have?
Or you could have pm'ed me when I asked, as I was looking at the system to get your MSL...
I'm off work now...
PM me your esn and phone number and I will send it to you first thing in the morning at 10cst when I get to work..

I used the MSL number to change the amount of time it took for my hero to ring when a phone call came in... as some people have reported there is major lag between the time someone heres rings when calling you to when the hero actually rings itself...
i like most others called and told them i needed to change the setting (can't remember what it was) and they gave me both MSLs for my 2 heros...
Unless something changed from a week ago, it should just be a matter of asking the right person, but telling them you have a reason for it, not just asking for the MSL...
here is the link to a post that allowed me to make the change, but more importantly get the info...
http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc...-other-end-few-times-before-ringing-hero.html
R
The easiest way I've found to get the MSL is to do an online ESN swap.
Take your old phone (or any Sprint phone that's not currently activated) - it doesn't even matter if it turns on.
Sign onto your Sprint account and start the process to "Active a new phone".
Enter your other phone's ESN... follow the links....
Wait a few minutes (maybe 10) and go back in and swap back to your Hero.
Through the process, they give you the MSL and the one-time lock code.
any sprint store employee will give it to you if you walk in, no ones ever asked me and ive never been told i cannot give this info.
how do you shorten the amount of times it rings? id love to do that. also, what other things can you do with the msl#?
Or if you call in, make some bogus reason like your phone keeps freezing, ask them to walk you through an RTN, they will have you enter ##(yourmsl)#, tell them thanks and that it seems to be working better and your done.
BUMP: Microsoft again has changed the policies! Chat seems to be working again!
Thanks to members for the tip. I had a little talk with one of the fellow MS employes and he said, actual WP7 customers were suffering due to the policy change. People were finding it frustrating to have to send scanned copies. So, they made it easier.Enjoy!
BUMP: Microsoft has changed the policies! Now they need scanned copy of IMEI number and product purchase proof! If anybody is able to get key by any other method, do post in this thread!
Hello, people!
I see lots of people asking for unlock keys for there HD2-7, just because their country doesn't seem to have the call center. However, I have found that, Microsoft is supporting all the big countries!
If you find this guide helpful, don't forget to hit the 'Thanks' button.
Here is the guide.
1. First of all, you need the contact number of Microsoft call center in your country.
Go here and grab it. http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/
I have found it working for India!
2. Now, I think calls in most of the countries will be answered by the IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System). Most probably, you will get lost in choosing menu options.
3. Simply wait for the last option where the system says that press __ to talk to our technical support person. (In India, you have to type 06)
4. Now, the person will receive you. Tell him your Windows Live Id and all other things. (you need not fake!) And tell them your issue. He may say that you are in wrong section! Ask him to transfer his call to product activation section for WP7. (All this is to avoid getting lost in IVRS menu!)
5. Now, your call will be transfered. Tell the person that you want to activate your HTC HD7! (Make sure, its launched in your country.)
6. That's it! The person confirms your Live ID and gives you the key. (Its kinda difficult though to get 25 characters correctly through phone. Make sure you take down everything correctly!)
7. If step 3 onwards doesn't work (like technical support person doesn't know what you're talking about) tell them the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699 and tell him that this is I want.
8. Alternatively, you can navigate to Xbox live support and ask them for key. (You have to tell them that you were asked for the key when you tried to access the Xbox live from your HD7)
9. Method of Skype is good but won't work on poor connections. (and most of the connections fall in this category, as far as developing countries are concerned!)
Again, I need your feedback. Comments are most welcome (and so are thanks!) Please, buy me a cup of milk, if you wish! (I don't like beer! )People in India can use SBI net banking. (PM me for account number!)
Hope you enjoy it.
hey akshay! Thanks for the detailed description. BTW i had no issue with activation key as that was butter smooth to get from MS India. As the HD2 now activated, how do you install apps from Marketplace as for me it doesnt download any apps from marketplace.
I tried these methods already
1. Clean install of WP7, activation of Live services by activation key and then logging in to marketplace via both region being India as well as US. It would show message something like "Can't get info right now, try later"
2. I also tried registry editing to as in here. Then tried connecting to marketplace. Error pop up as Marketplace not available in your location.
3. I did regedit on my Windows 7 to access marketplace using Zune desktop, which is a success, it opens and registers my choices, also show that your app will be installed soon, but no app is installed.
4. Finally i downloaded WP7 Desktop Marketplace, i works fine, downloads, as well as deploys apps to my phone but show error in a few app deployment. As of now this is the only work around for me with a few limitations.
If you able to access marketplace and download apps directly to your mobile or by any other better way, please guide me.
To all:
Why so difficult?
Please go to here: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#
Choose the top chat. Wait a minute. Tell them you need a activation code for your WP7 phone. They ask name and phone number. After waiting another minute they give it to you.
Last question they have: Did it work? You say YES!
(I did this three times - for myself, my wife and a friend)

WOW !!! +1 for this i cannot believe it . actually worked - do u think we will be black listed in the future ?
Yeah i really say the same! It really works. Better to chat with the support, instead of talking and phone waiting. Took me about 3 minutes until i got my key! REALLY NICE! +1

I think, you should not do these things alternatively. You better perform everything stepwise according to the guide posted in HD2 WP7 section. It should work.

I did all as mentioned but as WP7 not officially launched by MS in India, no marketplace availability. Also Zune Marketplace app download issue is resolved, just a few more tweaks required and done. Now I am comfortably installing free apps from Marketplace using Zune. Also have a lot many Xbox Live games but wont post any links here as it would be piracy...no piracy on XDA.

Your problem is clearly related to your Live ID belonging to an unsupported Country.
Create a new Live ID with Region set to US and you should be fine.

Well Saurabh, you really don't need to Skype at all. I know how frustrating it is! As I've clearly mentioned, you can straightway call them and get the key. Also, some users have confirmed to get it via chat support. Please, ignore Skype thing. Its not really for slow connections. Use chat support or straightway fire a call. Looks like you'll have to wait two days as its already Friday and call centers will be open on Monday.
Reply with progress!
EDIT: By the way, call center contact details for India are:
Phone: 1800 102 1100 (Toll free number accessible from Airtel land line and mobile phones
Phone: 1800 111 100 (Toll free number accessible from MTNL/BSNL land line)
Phone: +91 80 40103000
