Android Secret Phone Codes And Hacks

All phones actually have secret codes implemented that are triggering specific functions. But it will be difficult to find them yourself - therefore, here you will find the list of Android phone secret codes that can be used on your phone - and on most of Android phones actually.

The Android cheat codes will let you access hidden functions of your phone like software information and uncommon functions, test hardware, hard or  factory reset Android phone   and a lot of other amazing tools and functions!

What are Android secret codes?

The Android cheat codes or secret codes are combinations of dialling pad numbers and symbols for example, that once typed in the calling phone app will directly trigger hidden functions on your phone.

However, there are even more hidden functions, which also depends on your Android phone version, Android software version, and manufacturer's current phone update.

Let's have a look at some - if not most - of them, and let us know in comments if we missed any.

Standard Android secret codes on Android phone

These Android secret codes can be typed in the dial pad on the phone application and will directly trigger a specific function to run.

There's a lot of statistics and reports that are created by the phone, but are not necessarily directly displayed on the Android user interface - however, these cheat codes can bring these codes up.

Hidden Android phone menu

Some lucky phones, depending on their Android and manufacturer software version, have access to an hidden Android phone menu, which is called the System UI Tuner.

This function has been removed in latest Android versions, and can only be accessed via an app. However, if your phone still uses an old version, you can display the hidden System UI Tuner that shows hidden and upcoming features with these tricks.

System UI Tuner activation

• Start by pulling down the settings menu from your phone
• Top on the Gear Icon (the one from settings) and hold your tap a few seconds until it spins
• If it does not spin, it means that your phone is too recent - see below which app to use instead
• If it does spin, after a few seconds it will show a message Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings
• You can now open a new menu with a wrench icon close to the mobile screen gear icon
• The System UI Tuner can now be accessed from the Settings > System menu

If your phone is too recent to activate System UI Tuner, you can download an external app that will do the trick on the Android Play Store:

Software hidden codes

Some hidden Android cheat codes are there to deliver information about your phone software, provided that they are available on your phone's version and that you enter the right code.

Most of the Android secret have been created to help developers quickly access some valuable information about the phone to ease the creation process, and might not work on your phone version, due to various updates, or might be dangerous - therefore, use them with caution!
