What is a secret code and why is it needed
Situations often arise when the creators of the gadget restrict a particular function at the software level. This is done in order to prevent people from accessing the vital options of the platform core. An example is low volume when making calls on many models of phones and tablets, or an emergency restart, which comes to the rescue when the gadget no longer responds to anything else. Then a special combination of numbers and symbols # and comes to the rescue. After entering them, one or another function is activated.
Now let's list the most commonly used codes Android:
- The first code is one of the most important. It is used on phones and tablets that support 3G – # 06 #. The combination displays the identifier, if nothing came out in the line, this indicates a problem.
- ##4636##- this code displays all the information that concerns the device. It can be used as a safety net for those cases when you need to check a stolen gadget or not.
- ##34971539##- shows all the necessary information on the photographic module of the gadget.
- If you suddenly have problems with the screen, then you must enter##0283##. The cipher starts testing the liquid crystal display.
- To check the functionality of the GPS module, you must enter##1575##.

Some nuances of using ciphers
The codes must be used very carefully. After all, some of them activate functions that disrupt the normal operation of the platform or begin to drain the battery very quickly. Functions that relate to a complete reset of the system to factory settings, or flashing are best used only in extreme cases.
