Do you know the secret codes for your Android phone?

If you own an Android smartphone , you may have heard of " secret codes ," which allow you to access technical information about your device and even perform certain actions on it.

These codes are secret because if we modify any of these hidden parameters incorrectly, we could render our smartphone unusable. So we must be careful.

Secret codes are no urban legend. They exist, and they're very useful if you know how to use them, as they provide internal information about your phone that can't be found in the user manual or in the phone's settings .

In this post, we've selected some of these secret codes for you. Write them down and keep them handy. To access these hidden menus, simply type the combination of numbers and symbols. The requested function or information will automatically appear without having to press the call button.

• *#06# : This code lets you know something as essential as your smartphone's IMEI . We recommend writing down the IMEI number, since if your phone is stolen, you can block it by informing your phone company.


• *#*#4636#*#* : This combination provides detailed information about the device , its battery, usage statistics, and Wi-Fi connection. It also allows us to perform ping tests on the connection.


• *#*#273282*255*663282*#*#* : It's a long code, but it's worth writing down, as entering this sequence will back up any media files you have on your device. This way, your photos and videos will be safe.

• *#*#232339#*#* : performs a WiFi connection analysis .

• *2767*3855# : allows you to restore the mobile to factory settings , but with data formatting.

• *#7465625# : you will have access to information about the lock status of your SIM card .

• *#*#232331#*#* : performs a Bluetooth test .

• *#*#1234#*#* : displays information about the PDA and firmware .

• *#301279# : gives us information about mobile network coverage.

• *#7465625# : This combination locks the device .

• *#*#7594#*#* : shows us the device shutdown code .

• *#*#7780#*#*: Be careful with this code; if you use it, you have to be very sure, as it restores the phone to its initial state , like when you took it out of the box, but without losing the data.
