It’s said that everybody has a secret and this is so true to our phones too. A secret is something that keeps us restless till it is not revealed to us. If you would like to know about some things that lay hidden under the surface of the phone you own, this post will might have of some importance to you. Our mobile phone manufacturers give us a certain level of accessibility that is proper for end-user. There are still some gateways to peep inside the system but they are not revealed to all, and it is for good.
If you remember, we revealed a lot of secret codes for Samsung Galaxy devices a few days back. Today, we have some common codes that can be used with most Android smartphones from major manufacturers like Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola, etc. These secret or hidden codes are some times used by the developers to access system properties and even troubleshoot some technical issue. Below you will see a list of such secret codes that you can use if you need them.
Here is a screenshot from the Galaxy S3 with Service Menu open-
