Secret Codes of Android Phones/Samsung Wave/Monte

I found this article last week, which list a series of secret commands for Android phones. Bear in mind that that codes were obtained from a Samsung Galaxy i7500 so some may not work on the HTC Desire.

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 for menus on screen:

1. Phone information

2. Battery information

3. Battery history

4. Usage statistics

=========================

##7780##

This secret code performs a factory data reset, and will remove the following from your Android phone:

1. Google account settings stored in your phone

2. System and application data and settings

3. Downloaded applications

And it will NOT remove the below data :

1. Current system software and applications

2. Memory 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.

=========================

27673855#

Think before you give this code. This code is for the factory format. And it'll remove all files, folders, data and settings including the internal memory storage of the phone and will re-install the firmware of your Android phone.

PS: Once you give this code, there is no way to cancel the operation unless you remove the battery from the phone. So, be careful and decide thoroughly if you really wanna use this code or not? think twice before giving this code.

=========================

##34971539##

This code gives the information about the camera of the phone and shows following 4 menus while using it :

1. Update camera firmware in image (Don't try this option)

2. Update camera firmware in SD card

3. Get camera firmware version

4. 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 re-install camera firmware.

=========================

##7594##

This code changes the "End Call / Power" button function on your Android phone. It helps in configuring the function of this individual key. 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.
