If you are a smartphone user then you should be knowing that every device is having some hidden codes which can be used to perform a particular task on the smartphone. These hidden codes are usually either OS based or brand specific.
These hidden smartphone codes are in use since the era of Symbian smartphones of Nokia. Earlier I have posted about the secret Nokia codes. And here I am sharing a complete list of all secret, hidden Android codes. You can use them to find some particular detail of your Android smartphone like finding the IMEI number, software and hardware info, diagnostic mode etc of your Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony and any other Android smartphone.
As it is already mentioned above, these hidden and secret Android codes are device and brand specific and maybe every code will not work on your device. Also before using these secret Android codes, keep in mind that these codes are designed to perform a particular task on your device and can cause various changes in your Android smartphone’s configuration and settings. So, use them carefully and at your own risk.
