Android Secret Hack Code

Secret Hack codes are those codes which are usually hidden from users for any misuse and exploit. As we all know android is very new platform and thus very few hack codes of androids are there on internet. Today i am sharing all the hack codes of androids cellphones that i know. And i surely hope you can't find codes better than that. So friends let's hack and explore our android Phones. I have tested these codes on my Phone Samsung Galaxy having an Android OS version 2.2. I am sure these will work on all previous versions.

Secret Hacking codes for Android Mobile Phones:

1. Complete Information About your Phone  

*#*#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

2. Factory data reset
*#*#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 application
SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.
Note: 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.

3. Format Android Phone

  *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.
Note: 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.

4. Phone Camera Update

*#*#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.

5. End Call/Power

*#*#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.

6. File Copy for Creating Backup

*#*#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.

7.  Service Mode

*#*#197328640#*#*
This code can be used to enter into Service mode. You can run various tests and change settings in the service mode.

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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)

How To Save Apps To SD Card on Android




Learn how to save apps on your SD card at
http://www.phonebuff.com/2011/11/store-app-sd-card-for-android/

Video on how to store your Android apps on your SD card. This is a great option for those who are low or running out of internal memory on their Android phone. Note that not all applications can be saved to the memory card.

To store your apps2sd, go to the settings of your phone, then applications, then find the app in the app list and press the move to SD card button if available.

How to Move all Android applications to SD card without Rooting




As we need your reply, just thumb UP if this trick works for you and mention the Devise Model number in your comment on which you are using this trick, This will help us to upload more stuff like this.

This small tutorial will help you to move most application to the sd card by following the simple step mentioned in this video.

I am putting the commands below here.
These are some steps which you need to follow
.
1. Set your phone on USB Debugging mode as shown in Video.

2. Open a terminal shell (On Windows, open a command prompt
session), and navigate to 'Tools' folder in the extracted contents.

3. Type "adb shell" (On Windows) ["./adb shell" on Linux/Mac systems]

4. If you set the phone in the correct mode, you will get a '#' prompt.

5. On the prompt, type pm setInstallLocation 2

6. Wait for the '#' prompt to appear. Thats it.



This will not VOID your warranty so don't worry about it.
But you need to take care of some things like,
1. If the application provides Widgets and you use them, DO NOT move them to SD card -- the widgets will not function correctly if you move them to the SD Card. If it provides Widgets, and you are not going to use them, or the app does not provide widgets, it is safe to move them.
2. If you're planning to root your phone using any software, you will have to reset the default install location to phone memory.
