Typically, USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) codes are used to communicate with a smartphone and a mobile network operator. This means, for USSD codes to work, you always need to stay connected to your carrier.
On the other hand, MMI (Man Machine Interface) codes let you access interesting information about your smartphone, like IMEI number, hidden menu, repair services, and more.

I just updated my wife’s lg g stylo to Tyne marshmallow 6.0 and it disabled her knock on feature. Please help!
Hi Henry,
You could try a factory reset (backup your files if you do), and if that doesn´t work, I think it´s a bug and will hopefully be fixed in the near future. Android 6.0 has brought users a lot of issues since its release.Thanks for commenting. =-)
Hi there I have a few different android devices and they all have the same problem …my internal memory builds up and when I factory reset any of them it takes the memory completely away and I have no way of getting it back…such as the hp 7 1800 tablet with android version 4.1.2 it says I have 5.56gb total space…..ummmm when it was bought I had 8 gb total space showing…is there any way to fix this horrible issue all my androids seem to have?
Hi Dotty,
Factory reset’s completely wipe everything on your phone, they are usually done to clear any corrupt data or speed up a phone, among other reasons. I recommend backing up any information you don’t want to lose everytime you have to do a factory reset. Do you mean that you don’t have the same memory after the reset? =-)
I have a Motorola Moto G2. For some wierd reason, the longer codes (on the all android devices list) wont work. When I type it in, it closes out of the phone number pad. The IMEI code works fine, but the Phone Info code and any other long codes do the same thing. What can I do to fix this?
Certain carriers have some codes disabled. Who’s your carrier?

Hi.
I have a tablet Dell Venue 7 Model 3741.
On the box it is written 8GB, HSPA, series 3000.
It has a celular chip slot.
Under configuration, preferred network I can choose just 2G or 3G.
Then I accessed the hidden menu with *#*#4636#*#*, it is selected WCDMA preferred.
On the drop down list, there are several options with LTE, like LTE/CDMA or LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), but any of these options are accepted, the preferred network change back to WCDMA.
Any idea about what is happening?
Hi Adriano,
Looks like your tablet does not support LTE and that is why it changed back to WCDMA. Hope this helps.

Hi Jasmin,
Can you please tell me what you were doing that led up to the error message? Thanks. =-)
I have a RCA tablet that has a USB glitch. Mine was because the particular model glitches after being plugged into USB. It disconnects touchscreen. I used keyboard to go to settings and turn on my touchscreen and the error went away and everything worked like a charm… Until plugging back into USB. Then out with the keyboard again to settings and touchscreen. Works every time.
As far as i remember i just using it in fb and surfing through wifi.tnx
Hi Jasmin,
Hmmm. I see. Sometimes recently installed apps are usually responsible for weird behavior. Have you tried booting your tablet in safe mode and see if the problem continues? If the problems stop then, you are sure that an app is responsible. =-)

I have a Galaxy S6 that won’t connect to my PC. I have tried all suggested fixes. *#0808# does not work to bring up USB menu.
Hi Sara,
If your PC won´t recognize your phone, have you tried using another cable, using another PC, or cleaning the ports? Sometimes dust can get in there and not let it work properly. What is it you are trying to do in the menu? =-)
Enable developer options by going to settings>about phone. Look for “build number” . Once found (usually close to bottom In about phone menu), repeatedly tap until confirmation message appears. Now in the settings, you’ll find “developer options” right above the “about phone” you just accessed. Under dev. options, you’ll find a choice for USB mode. Default setting is “Charging”. Change this to Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). Try connecting to your PC after these steps. Also, Samsung has an app called Samsung Kies. It may need to be installed on the PC before it will recognize your device. Hope that helps!
Hi Jeremiah,
Thanks for the suggestion. =-)
hlo sir

Know any codes that work for the ASUS Zenfone 2e,?, AT&T
Hi Steve,
What do you want to do? =-)
Well Judy, I don’t know how to answer your question. Cause I don’t know what I’m “trying to do”. . . And to be honest with you, I don’t even know the meaning half of all the acronyms . I just like changing settings. (An hour ago (my-time) I just Blue Screened my Laptops, from typing the wrong cmd-prompt . I am qurious as to if ya’ll have any – Zenfone 2e specific data…
Hi Steve,
There are certain codes that will only work on certain phone´s, but if I come across any for your model I will let you know. Good luck with your research and be careful. Thanks for commenting. =-)
I tried a fare amount of the codes and only 2 or 3worked. . . And most of the time they said error with IMEI number… I really like this phone. . . But I don’t know much about technology, I haven’t had a computer in over 10years. . . And I manage to kill my “hand-me-down” laptop. . . . My phone has some apps called “droidedit , RAR , droidGrep , NZBMobile , QPython player , scriptLauncher , TaskBomb ” I have been trying to teach myself how to use these and also how to do stuff through the USB ADB . . . But I’m sinking like a stone . . I have learned two important lessons from this; I learned what Not to do next time, and I learned that logcat Will give ya a headache… anyway. I’m going to continue reading and searching, and try to find a free solution to this problem (I disagree with the concept of Currency), I can’t give any donations, But If you want one of my oil paintings, I gladly send one; And even throw in my social security #. (It’s just an imaginary# I’m not using it) if you would point me in the right direction I would be very greatfull .
Humbly
????Steve????

I just got an at&t zte smartphone but I cant access mtn Cameroon network on it. Can U help me?
Hi Dicap,
First you have to see if your variant is compatible with the network you are trying to connect to. For example, in the US, you can´t use a GSM phone on Sprint because Sprint is CDMA and not GSM. They both work on different networks. Have you tried calling looking at the specs of your phone to see if its compatible? =-)
I have an LG G4 through T-Mobile. 277634#*# gets me to a hidden menu, but not the device testing one. The “For T-Mobile – 3845#*851#” code didn’t work, and neither did replacing 851 with my phone’s model number, 811. Is there no service menu in my phone, or is there some trick not listed here to access it?
I have the same issue as jester, has anyone found a way to get to the device test section on the 811?
Hi! I’ve been trying but…dying.PLEASE HELP? I have a samsung epic 4G sprint. I got it for 10 bucks. Only ever used it over wifi…The guy factory reset it then gave it to me. Worked fine a couple weeks, now, 4 days ago, I can no longer access any settings,home pages,email,etc. I can get the voice comand open google…takes me to browser. But, it has always CONSUMED battery. 91percent is android. There is a long long list of secret/whatever apps…ALLWAYS running. Can you plz help? Thank you sooo much. Donn
Hi Donn,
Have you considered another factory reset? Always backing up your data of course. =-)
My Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 does not appear to respond to any of the above-identified codes. I’d like to use *#*#4636#*#* to access battery information. I’ve gotten mixed directions from various sources on shadier forums – some said I need to switch from global to CDMA/LTE, others said I need to hit call, other said the menu should just trigger as soon as the code has been entered in my dialer. Could you help me out? 🙂
Hi Sunin,
The code´s should work without you having to hit call. For battery information on your S5, this could should work, *#0228#. It´s for Samsung Galaxy Phones. I tested it out myself, and it works. Thanks for commenting. =-)
It says fuel gauge reset. what does it do?
Your “fuel gauge” is the indicator that tells you how much battery life you have left. A reset recalibrates that indicator to your battery. Often, issues with the device turning off at what would seem to be an unusually high battery level are actually due to a battery and gauge that have fallen out of sync.
try *#2263#
Has it worked for you?
I have a lg tracphone and when i turn it on it comes to the blue start screen and keep flashing in and out.What do i do
Hi Jeremiah,
Have you tried taking out the battery for about a minute or two and then turning the phone back on? Hope this helps. =-)

Have you tried booting your phone in safe mode and see if those problems continue? If they don´t then a third-party app is the culprit. This link will help you to get into safe mode. Let me know how this works out for you.=-)

Hi Can you please suggest a code to access LTE band for motorola g3 turbo.
Does your service provider deliver LTE?
where do i type these codes?
Hi Nolan,
In the dialer, but instead of introducing numbers to make a call, just introduce the code for your smartphone brand. The code should go into effect once you finish adding it. You don´t have to press call. Please let know if you need help with anything else. =-)
Hi Judy, Wow, thanks for all of your time in helping so many of us who are trying to be Geeky! As it seems, many of us are really just “trying”!!
I need help with something that is not very typical; you may or may not be able to provide me with a solution – but it never hurts to ask, right?
I live on over a half acre property 1600 sf home in an area of California that is rural, the California Gold Country. In the exact area where my home is no company’s signals work well, not even the company in the area – Golden Cellular (which was purchased by Verizon a couple years ago). If you drive about 5 blocks or so in either direction you will get a weak signal, but just enough to place a call. I have ATT and Boost Mobile. The Boost Mobile phone will place or receive a call if in the right position in the right part of the property with a single bar strength.
There is one exception, a service that actually works, NET 10, which I had found actually doesn’t just work but works very well. A neighbor/friend who was over for a BBQ was freely walking around my property talking on his cellphone. I approached him and told me his services were Net 10. He is a devoted anti-tech kind of guy. An older gentleman that barely uses his TVs remote control well. He said that he was told the Net 10 system and some of their equipment can “seek out” different frequencies when placing a call. But how can it work where no other when no other phone actually has worked, ever?????
I did some research and found this is possibly true. His Net 10 was on either a Tracfone or ATT Simm. My question to you is this:
I have a Samsung G4 running Android. Is there a code (or some other way) to open up the frequencies which the phone will use to “expand” its use in an area like I’ve described? If the Net 10 system can do it running an ATT Simm, theoretically it could work. I am not sure of the phone equipment which my friend has, but it is nothing special. Probably just a dumb phone or a tiny amount of SMARTness to it.
Thanks again for all you do to help us wanna-be-nerds!
Anthony @ Event City
Hi Anthony,
You are most welcome and it’s my pleasure to be able to help as much as possible. From what you described I don’t think there is any code that can do that. It sounds like a service issue and that something only the companies can offer. If you can, you can try maybe getting a second line just for when you are in those areas with bad service, I mean, a second line just like the one your friend has. =-) Thanks for commenting.
hey buddy if you have at&t there is a apn setting you need to add and change in youre phone and then it will open the signal up on youre phone but check online for the best apn on at&t for the area you are in
Good suggestion, Gary. This won’t work in all situations, but resetting APNs can fix a lot of service issues.
My LG G3 seems to only work with a few of the codes listed above. The system dump mode and ATT specific hidden menu are the biggest needs of mine. I just completed a factory reset on my phone to prevent any interference from apps. My system data is taking up 3.8 gb at the moment and I would really like to reduce that since it only has 8 gb of memory. Any suggestions?
Hi Jonathan,
Have you ever considered rooting to get rid of anything that only bothers? =-)

Not really sure how to do that. Could you give me some advice or a link?

Have you called your carrier? Just to make sure they are not having problems since even the best service can give its users problems from time to time. =-)

2. Click on Run Ping test
At the bottom of this screen you will see
3. Turn off radio/or on radio

Hi Vijoya,
If your space is running our you can always try to free up space my eliminating things such as apps you haven´t used in a while, photos and videos you can delete, Etc. This will definitely help free up some or even a lot of space. Thanks for commenting. =-)

Hi Vijoya,
Hmm..have you tried a factory reset? My tablet was giving me all sorts of problems recently and I tried different possible solutions and nothing seemed to work so I tried a reset and now it´s better than ever. Maybe that´s wht your device needs to start fresh? If you do reset it, remember to backup all your information first since this leaves your phone like when you first took it out of the box. Hope this helps. =-)
Hi,
I am dialing “Change Power button behavior *#*#7594#*#*”
It is not working.Kindly advice
The service manual for the LG-D802 says that the Hidden Menu can be accessed by 3845#*802#. This is the menu that gives access to the hardware test menus. On my Nexus 5 (which is labelled on the motherboard as a D802) this does not work and all the variations that I have tried on this code using 821,800,980.801 and 821 instead of the 802 also do not work. I want access to the testing menu because of a no signal problem that has not responded to the usual measures and which I suspect is a problem with the U2004 RF Transceiver chip. Does anyone know the correct code to access these menus? The *#*#4636#*#* code works but does not give access to the hardware test features. After various firmware changes in an attempt to solve the problem the phone is back to stock 6.0.1 and is not rooted.
Sorry I made a mistake – the 3845#*802# works on a D802 – the Nexus 5 is a D821 and is marked as such on the motherboard – but the service manual for the D821 does not mention a hidden menu.
Hi Geoffrey,
The manual for phone don´t mention hidden menus. Did you already try the code for your specific device? =-)

I have a galaxy s5. The gps never locks on. Tried all gps related codes and for each one get “mmi error code” how do I get my gps to find and lock onto satellites? Google maps shows approx location but my gps icon constantly flashes. My hubby’s s5 locks on immediately. Any fix?
Hi Eva,
Your GPS problems could be because mMaps software needs an update, location setting is disabled, your phone’s software needs an update, temporary network outage, GPS is blocked by a third-party accessory such as a case or cover. You could try a soft reset or you can verify some network settings especially on the location services. Let me know how this works out for you. Thanks for commenting. =-)

I am using a verizon phone on at&t (both prepaid) i can’t send or receive mms moat the time. My charge says something about charger may cause damage and puts a red x over battery icon (even when nothing plugged in) it always puts a + before my calls which prevents me from calling out and when i try these codes mostly i very “network connection unavailable or invalid mmI” and sometimes i get “invalid request”. I’ve done all the safe mode, coma after, + after prefix, apn setings and beyond.. can you advise?
Are you using WiFi when you do this? Try sending them on 3G or 4G.
I’m sorry. It’s an s5
I don’t have a SIM card is that why I can’t get access to the dial code hidden menus
I don´t think that could be the issue. What phone do you have and what are you trying to do?
The SIM card shouldn´t be the problem. It´s because some carrier branded firmware for phones are disabled, especially in the US.

What codes are you trying to use? Some codes are especially for a particular brand, and will not work on other devices.Also, some manufacturers have disabled these kinds of codes so they won´t work. It´s all about trying and see if it works.
Am using a HTC sensation XL with beatstudio x315e.

Hi Judy, Thanks for everything.
I use galaxy s3( GT-I9301Q)
These codes dont work for it. I reach ‘service menu’ for that volume increase
Hi, I have a CAT S60 with Android 6.0.1, do you know if the codes can be enabled? The only code that works is *#06# (displays the IMEI), but none of the other codes do anything. Most of them are recognized – I get to the end of the sequence and the digits I’ve typed disappear, but nothing else happens. If they are disabled by the factory, will I be able to re-enable them by rooting the phone?
the codes work on some devices and not others, so it’s hard to say with certainty that they will work. As for rooting, all you are doing it gaining access to the root files, not adding features. if they aren’t available to begin with, odds are you won’t find them by rooting.

It should let you into the HTC diagnostics menu. There is a button test option you can try.
I am using samsung galaxy s6 920v verizon model, and I cannot access any of these codes. Any solution to it?
Some phones and carriers do not allow the codes to work. If there is a specific diagnostic function you are looking for, maybe I could help you find a way to get that information.

The network issue could be a number of things… is it unlocked for your carrier? Is the SIM card active? Is the antenna functioning in the phone?
As to the coded not working, it’s hard to say which ones will and will not work. Carriers and manufacturers do not always allow every or any of the codes to work on each model.

Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 through Sprint and I am trying to put my Verizon service on it I have talked to both Verizon and Sprint Verizon’s end is good and their SIM card is working and Sprint give me the unlock code that I’m supposed to enter so the Verizon SIM card will work in a Sprint phone but when I put the Verizon SIM card in a notification pops up saying invalid SIM card and when I go to select s nothing happens it’s just stuck is there anything I can do that you know of to make my Sprint phone work with my Verizon service??
moving from carrier to carrier can be tricky. I know with my unlocked phone there was a code they needed to put into their system to make it work on their end.
Also, you can try dialing *228 after you put the Verizon SIM card in. I believe that will register it to the towers and system.
I can’t get into my zte t610 due to Google account verification. I am having trouble remembering or resetting my password. I only have access to the emergency dialer and when I enter a code it says I need to enter an emergency number. How do I overcome this and is there a code that will help erase the Google verification account or even just a code that will allow me to access the phones settings menu??
If you do not have the gmail account login for the phone, there really isn’t a good way to do it. I believe at this point you will need to master reset the phone if there is no way for you to remember the login information.
Hi.. What is this code used for.
* #62*
Plz share all the detail abt this code
What happens after dilaing this code and what is the harm and how to avoid it.
Plz help
*#62# is usually to check the call forwarding number. Where did you see the *#62* ?
Is there a code that will place my phone into Ultra Power Saving Mode?
the codes are device and sometimes carrier specific. you didn’t mention your model phone, carrier, or even the brand, your best bet is to drop the brand, model, and carrier with the code you are looking for into a search engine to see. You may also need the version of the phone.
First of all thanks for this wonderful list of codes (secret? :P). I own an Intex Aqua Star II HD handset. It is running Android v4.2.2 and kernel version is 3.10.17
When I try the code for “Format and Factory Reset” – *2767*3855# – it tries sending out some kind of SMS but that fails and the error message I receive is – “Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code”.
Any idea why this (and a few others with the *xxx…# – starting with a single star and ending with a single pound) do not work and why it tries sending out some kind of sms?
Oh if this can help – I use cellone as my provider.
The codes can be different or blocked per carrier or manufacturer so it’s hard to say.
Does your phone have a WCDMA only option in the network select setting? this should limit you to 3G.
You can find it here:
Press the settings icon.
Press More networks.
Press Mobile networks.
Press Network mode.
I have tried the secret codes listed and nothing ever happens. Does the phone have to be rooted for them to work? I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4
they don’t work on all phones or carriers
I have a galaxy s7 on Verizon and I will wondering for there’s a way to make phone calls clearer or louder without using advance calling.
that’s more of a hardware issue. I have the same phone and carrier and agree that it’s not great. It could be anything from your reception to your phone to their phone or anything in between. YOu might try a Bluetooth headset it could help if it’s just a poor phone speaker that’s causing your troubles.
Can i use 4g sim in 3g phone..spreadtrum processor
it will just give you 3g. you can’t put a card in and change the abilities of the phone. It’s a hardware thing, not a software or something an add-on will change.
please assist me. i have a lenovo a7600-m in zimbabwe and cannot change network mode to 3G or LTE. only 2G im getting.
It could be a carrier limitation. Does the carrier there have a 3g or LTE option? I know here in the US the carriers limit the data for some devices or plans. Try looking into your SIM card options to see if you might have something not allowing 3g or higher. I don’t think it would matter, but your phone looks like it’s a dual SIM phone, does it make a difference to put the SIM in the other slot?
how do you enter these codes…i have a lg g2…
As directed in the article. Use the phone dialer to enter them. However, not all of the codes work with all phones.

How was it enabled? Through a code or settings? Is the Samsung Galaxy S5 stock? What OS version are you running? Is there moisture damage?

my phone has a touching problem in screen.tell about the solution on it.
take a look at this article. You were about as vague as possible, though. You failed to mention what phone, anything you have tried, or what outcome you’d like.

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) SM-J320M which I am attempting to access Service Mode to unlock its carrier limitation, but the Service mode *#*#197328640#*#* code is not working.. It runs on Android 5.1.1 Is there any different code I can try? or maybe a different way to get into Service Mode? Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I am so frustrated right now. My Alcatel Pixi 4 has 8gb of memory and I have a 8gb SD card also. When downloading apps it goes to the internal memory first and then I manually send it to the SD card. Now I am seeing that I only have 54.41mb of free space on the internal memory but the available space on the display bar shows half. Meaning, I don’t know where all my free space is.
Try deleting your app downloads and changing the memory setting to use the SD card first. You may have the apps downloaded to both places.
my tab is lollipop and it doesnt have an option that can use sd card as default,,, what can i do to use sd card cause i cant put my data of games into internal i just only got 2.5gb free on my internal… please help..thanks
Unfortunately there’s no handy trick to let you use an sd card. However, using cloud storage services can help you clear up some room on the device itself while still allowing you to access files from your device.

how to upgrade my samsung galaxy note3 sn9005 into mashmallow or noghat
Hi, Gagan. Go to Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates, and your phone will look for any available Android updates.
I have samsung galaxy s5 with android marshmallow ,when i turned my mibile lock the wifi stop working and when unlock i begans to work properly ,i also checked in advanced settings “wifi turn on during sleep” but the problem no solved please tell me why this problem occurs
Make sure your settings are correct by setting Keep Wifi on during sleep to Always under advanced wifi settings. If that doesn’t solve your problem, it may be because an optimizer app is overriding your settings.

How to change phone number att with dialer code
This may be a very stupid question, but I am trying to set up a “new” old phone with my sim card. My phone keeps searching for service so I am not exactly sure how I would go about entering any of these codes without being able to use the CALL button. Do I actually have to have service to do it? I am trying to troubleshoot my phone and keep coming across sites that tell me to put codes n the dialer. I am starting to feel really dumb!! Everytime I do, it tells me Mobile network Not Available, which i already know! Any suggestions?

Nor its is getting detected in PC when the mobile is switched off. So i can not format it using other stock roms.

hello i was wondering if there is any code to block adult sites on an android ive set the restriction mode on mostly everything but still manage to get some type of adult content
Hi Marissa,
It has probably something to do with the apps that you installed. Check the apps that your installed in your device and see which one is forcing those adult content. There are no codes to restrict such contents.

Hi Daniel, Do you know how to remove some/the pre-installed app’s on an android phone? In the Huawei phone of my wife is not enough space/memory to instal an app for her work. I did download already some (root uninstaller) app’s on her phone and software on my PC, but all by me downloaded software have no permission to go in that root of pre-installed app’s.
Can you please help me with something like a code or a link to a working software solution(s)?
Thanks in advance, Marcel (the Netherlands)
Hi! For cases like pre-installed apps, most of the time they cannot be uninstalled. What you can do is clear the cache or uninstall updates of the app so it won’t take much space. Another option is to root your device. We have a bunch of articles that could guide you in rooting your device. You can choose from this link -> https://joyofandroid.com/how-to-root-android/
