Android Tips and Tricks


*#*#4636#*#*


This shows the following information about your phone and battery:


    Phone information
    Battery information
    Battery history
    Usage statistics
========================================================================
    *#*#7780#*#*


This performs a factory data reset, and will remove the following:


    Google account settings stored in your phone
    System and application data and settings
    Downloaded applications


It will NOT remove:
Current system software and bundled applications
    SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.


PS: This one asks for a confirmation, so if you do get a chance to change your mind.
========================================================================
    *2767*3855#


Don’t try this one unless you’re sure. This code is used for factory format, and will remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It will also reinstall the firmware.


PS: Once you give this code, there is no way to cancel the operation unless you remove the battery from the phone, and even then, you run the risk of bricking your phone.

WARNING: Never use the first option otherwise your phone camera may stop working, and there is really no reason to update the camera firmware anyway.
==================================================================================================
    *#*#7594#*#*


This code will change the “End Call / Power” button action on your phone. By default, if you long press the button, it shows a screen asking you to select any option from Silent mode, Airplane mode and Power off.

Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)


Simple, beautiful, beyond smart

Android 4.0 builds on the things people love most about Android — easy multitasking, rich notifications, customizable home screens, resizable widgets, and deep interactivity — and adds powerful new ways of communicating and sharing.

Refined, evolved UI

Focused on bringing the power of Android to the surface, Android 4.0 makes common actions more visible and lets users navigate with simple, intuitive gestures. Refined animations and feedback throughout the system make interactions engaging and interesting. An entirely new typeface optimized for high-resolution screens improves readability and brings a polished, modern feel to the user interface.

Virtual buttons in the System Bar let users navigate instantly to Back, Home, and Recent Apps. The System Bar and virtual buttons are present across all apps, but can be dimmed by applications for full-screen viewing. Users can access each application's contextual options in the Action Bar, displayed at the top (and sometimes also at the bottom) of the screen.
