Android Smartphone codes can rise up each time you wish to test a specific function on your device, and a specific feature is working well. The codes are commonly triggered for a smartphone’s serial numbers in the light of other features that can be accessed through the same gateway.
For Instance, #06# leads the lane of useful codes for Android Smartphone users. This is due to the fact that it works on almost every phone as an industry-standard code, but it’s just a sip of the many codes you may need to monitor your device’s behavior.
All available Android codes must be used through the Phone (calls) app or any other available app that provides you with a USSD dial pad.
Initially, every code begins with a # sign that alerts the system for the next digits that may represent a system call linked to a specific service meaning all codes must be input through your dial pad. Nonetheless, below are the codes you need to know.
