Android Hidden Secret Codes

In this topic, you'll get several hidden secret codes which can be used in any Google Android mobile phone to access things which are not accessible by default.

FYI These codes have been obtained by decoding various .apk files present in the phone firmware.

DISCLAIMER: This information is intended for experienced users. It is not intended for basic users, hackers, or mobile thieves. Please do not try any of following methods if you are not familiar with mobile phones. We'll not be responsible for the use or misuse of this information, including loss of data or hardware damage. So use it at your own risk.

Samsung_Galaxy_I7500_Android_Phone.png

*#*#4636#*#*

This code can be used to get some interesting information about your phone and battery. It shows following 4 menus on screen:

Phone information
Battery information
Battery history
Usage statistics

*#*#7780#*#*

This code can be used for a factory data reset. It'll remove following things:

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

It'll NOT remove:

Current system software and bundled applications
SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.

PS: Once you give this code, you get a prompt screen asking you to click on "Reset phone" button. So you get a chance to cancel your operation.

*2767*3855#

Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.

PS: Once you give this code, there is no way to cancel the operation unless you remove the battery from the phone. So think twice before giving this code.

*#*#34971539#*#*

This code is used to get information about phone camera. It shows following 4 menus:

Update camera firmware in image (Don't try this option)
Update camera firmware in SD card
Get camera firmware version
Get firmware update count

WARNING: Never use the first option otherwise your phone camera will stop working and you'll need to take your phone to service center to reinstall camera firmware.

*#*#7594#*#*

This one is my favorite one. This code can be used to change the "End Call / Power" button action in your phone. Be 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.

You can change this action using this code. You can enable direct power off on this button so you don't need to waste your time in selecting the option.

*#*#273283*255*663282*#*#*

This code opens a File copy screen where you can backup your media files e.g. Images, Sound, Video and Voice memo.

Android Scams Preventions Methods

Android offers developers a lot of freedom in using a phone's hardware in their apps. While this leads to some really amazing functionality, it can also be a security concern. Google has chosen to run a more open marketplace for apps, and does not hold content up so they can review it first

Your first line of defense is to just use common sense. If you're not familiar with an app, give everything a onceover before you install. Herein we'll use a real life example; an app that's managed to hit 10,000 downloads in just one week. The app in question, Android Gaming Network (AGN), is at least shady, but maybe an outright scam, and you can tell something is fishy just by looking at it.

Job one is to check the comments on an app to look for suspicious behavior. The wisdom of crowds is of real use in this instance. AGN, for instance, has over 200 Market reviews, most of them positive. If you look closer, you can tell something is wrong. Many of the reviews were clearly written by the same person. They have the same grammar and say mostly the same things. This is a big red flag for any app. In fact, in this app's comments, there are some real people offering words of warning. This free app charges you $10 a month if you're not careful.

The market has the option to pull up the other apps submitted by a particular developer. Make sure to look at these apps if you're feeling uneasy. It could be that they develop a well known app, and that can certainly put your mind at ease. It could also be that they develop several other questionable-looking apps. This is information you should have when evaluating an app.

The Android Market offers a link to the website registered by the developer. If you're feeling weary after looking at the Market comments and other apps, this is the next place to checkout. You can tell a lot about a developer from their site. If it looks like a storefront genuinely meant to promote mobile applications, that's a good thing. A completely unrelated site is not as good. The developer of AGN has a site listed, but when you go there, it's just a blank page with the URL. This isn't what you want to see.


A developer of reliable apps will want to put their best foot forward. Having a Twitter account is a good way to stay in touch with users. The developer's website should be able to direct you to their Twitter account. Not having a Twitter account is not necessarily a sign of trouble, but if you cannot find a real website, or a twitter account, that is a concern. A developer with no real presence online is suspicious.


Check the app permissions

A Twitter client just needs a few permissions
This is perhaps the most important thing to do when you're unsure about an app. Android makes developers register system permissions for their apps to interact with the phone. By going down the list, you can tell what an app is going to do. Depending on the type of app, some permissions may stick out like a sore thumb. First, you have to know which permissions to look out for.



Right under the heading Services that cost you money, you may see the "send SMS" or "send MMS" permission. Most apps don't need the ability to send SMS messages. If you're looking at a game, news, or entertainment app of some sort, it more than likely shouldn't need these permissions. Sending SMS messages to premium rate numbers is a way to charge users surreptitiously, and we think that is how the developer of AGN is doing it. Bottom line, if an app is unexpectedly asking for SMS permissions, be skeptical.

Next up, look for the Storage header. The subcategory to be aware of here is "modify/delete SD card contents". This permission gives apps full read write access to you SD card. This includes access to your pictures, music, and videos. If you look around in your app permissions, you'll likely notice that many apps actually request this. They often need SD access to store cache, or some sort of downloadable data within the app. Even though it is common, if an app seems shady and wants SD access, you might want to think twice.

Another permission to watch out for is "read phone state and identity", which you will find under Phone calls. In this context, state means whether or not the phone is placing a call. There are perfectly reasonable circumstances that an app might want to know if you are on a call or not, but this permission also gives access to the unique identifiers of your phone. This includes the IMEI, IMSI, and Google identifier numbers of your handset. This could allow an unscrupulous individual to clone your phone.

The "full internet access" permission under Network communication is probably the most important permission an app can request. As the name implies, an app with this permission can load any URL and send data at will. The problem is that almost all apps request it. Games that send high score data, for instance, need this permission. Any app that pulls in online content would use it as well. Still, use your best judgment and decide if an app should have this privilege on your phone. There might be time you just don't want to risk it should you already feel uneasy about an app.


An automation app like Tasker needs more permissions
Lastly, check for the Your location section, and see if the app asks for either fine (GPS), or coarse (network-based) locations. Many apps ask for coarse location access, and this is maybe a little off-putting, but not the end of the world. Coarse cell network locations are usually off by a few blocks. Some developers use this to know what general vicinity their users are in. Still, if you value your privacy, you don't need to install these apps if you can't think of a valid reason for it to track you.

The fine GPS location, on the other hand, is more concerning. This permission allows an app to use the GPS ship to know exactly where you are. Unless you're looking at an app that does some sort of location aware searching, or location sharing, this is a red flag. There are very few instances when an app needs to know exactly where you are.

The vast majority of apps in the Android Market are on the up and up. We're not implying that you need to scrutinize all of them this thoroughly. However, if you're not familiar with an app, and something looks suspicious, don't be afraid to investigate before you install it. By looking into AGN a bit, we found the Market comments claiming premium SMS charges, that the developer website was blank, and that it was asking for strange permissions. It also looks like this developer did much the same thing last week under a different name. Those apps have been removed.

Keeping an eye on the permission of apps you have installed can also be of use, as it will help you better understand what uses the permissions have. To view an app's security information, go to its Market page, and hit menu > security. Currently installed apps also list their permissions in the Manage Applications Settings area as well. Follow these simple best practices, and you should be able to avoid scams and malware on Android with no problem.

The Best Time Tracking Application for Android

There's no shortage of time tracking apps for Android, and they run the gamut from feature-rich to simplistic. We tested several, and found that Time Recording offers the best combination of easy time-entry with the most features to help you keep track of the time you spend on your projects and clients.

Time Recording

Platform: Android
Price: Free (Pro: $2.95)
Download Page

---

• Easy check-in and check-out when you start and stop work
• Allows easy task assignment to specific projects and time to specific tasks
• Offers a complete view of all activities for the day, week, and month
• Allows you to include hourly or daily rates (including overtime) so you can track how much your tasks cost you, or how much you've earned by completing them
• Homescreen widget to display the day's running total time and money spent
• Google Calendar Sync (Pro Version)
• Imports and Exports Data to and from Dropbox (Pro Version)
• Support for Tasker and Locale Plugins (Pro Version)

Time Recording is one of the most popular time tracking apps in the Android Market, and while it's not the most simplistic app for time management available, it's certainly one of the most robust. The app makes it remarkably easy to create projects and tasks and then assign the time you spend to those tasks by checking in when you start and checking out when you're complete. You won't waste time setting Time Recording up, and you'll find yourself quickly tracking your time, which is the real goal of the app. The addition to assign billing rates and overtime to your projects and tasks make it easy to see how much money you should bill your clients for, or how much money you're spending by working on something non-billable.

Also, even on a small screen, Time Recording's built-in reports make it easy to see how much work you've done on a project over the past day, week, or month, and how much money you've earned or spent in that time. Plus, the app allows you to export data quickly and easily for review on your computer. The pro version's features extend the app's functionality a great deal for a low price, and the integration with Dropbox, Tasker, and Locale simply can't be beat.

Unfortunately, even though Task Recording is a great app, it's not without limitations. The free version is ad-supported, and you'll have to upgrade to pro to remove the ads. The app only allows you to assign one overtime rate to yourself at the moment, and unlike other apps in the category, you can't track mileage, travel, or other non-time-related expenses in addition to your time on projects. The app could use a UI overhaul: it does a great job at displaying a great deal of data, and lets you get to the commands you need quickly, but all that text on a white background gets tiresome quickly. Plus, the fact that some of Time Recording's best features require the Pro upgrade lends credence to the argument that the free version is functional, but the real power is only available when you pay up for it.

Gleeo Time Recorder (Free) offers a much more attractive interface and a number of gorgeous views of your daily schedule, the time you've spent on different projects, and what you have coming up on your calendar. However, while the app makes it easy and attractive to set up tasks and check in and check out of those tasks, it doesn't allow you to track billing rates or costs, mileage, or expenses at all - it's strictly for time management, which may be a good thing for some users.

TimeClock ($3.99/Free) is another freemium app that offers easy setup and easy check-in/check-out. The app also allows you to add billing rates for your tasks, toggle billing on and off for clients at any time, and set flat fee tasks that you can check in to that cost the same no matter the time spent on them. The interface is great, and the data export tools are almost as strong as Time Recording, but the app doesn't offer mileage, overtime, or the ability to pause tasks without clocking out. TimeClock does offer a web service to sync with though, so you can trust your logs are backed up.

If you'd rather have simpler utilities that are more geared toward personal use, considerTimePunch ($2.01), gbaHours Time Tracking ($5.75/Free), Time Tracker ($2.99), orTimesheet (Free) as alternatives that take some of the emphasis off of reporting and data analysis and instead focus more on tracking your personal and professional activities to see where your time is going. Each of them also allows you to set a billable rate for yourself, but they're more geared to the individual user who doesn't need the bells and whistles of other, more complex utilities.

If you'd rather use your Android phone to sync with a more robust desktop or web service designed for time tracking, you may consider the RescueTime (Free), Harvest (Free), orYAST (Free) apps for Android if you're already familiar with one of those services.

How to Block Ads in Android Browsers and Apps

If you're sick of giant ads taking up space on your tiny phone's screen, there are a number of ways to banish them from your phone. Here's how to do it.

While we generally support advertisements—after all, it's how us Lifehacker writers make our living—they can make browsing annoying on some sites, especially on a such a little screen (and they can make some apps very difficult to use). Which method you use depends largely on whether you're rooted or not, so we've rounded up the two best methods for blocking ads on your phone.

For Rooted Phones: AdAway

Full size

By far the best ad blocking solution is AdAway, which will block ads from most known sources, both in your browser of choice and in the apps you use. Just download it, start it up, and hit the "Download files and apply ad blocking" button. It'll download a few host files and merge them into your phone's, blocking those apps from ever reaching your device. You may need to reboot after you do this. You can also disable ad blocking at any time, but again, you'll have to reboot whenever you make changes.

If you have a particular site that's still showing ads, you can find out the domain of that ad (for example, ads.doubleclick.net and add it to AdAway's blacklist. To do so, open up AdAway, hit Menu, and go to Lists. Navigate to the Black tab, hit Menu, and tap the Add button. Type inads.doubleclick.net and click Add. Those ads should stop showing up after a reboot.

Similarly, blocking ads can mess with certain apps and make them unusable (The popular Words with Friends game is a good example). To whitelist those ads, go back to Menu > List and hit the White tab. Go to Menu > Add to add a new domain, and add the domain of the ads it's trying to show—in the case of Words with Friends, it would be androidsdk.ads andmydas.mobi. Note that you can only add advertising domains on the whitelist, not the sites on which the ads appear. That is, if you wanted to whitelist ads on Lifehacker, you couldn't just addlifehacker.com to your whitelist—you'd have to add ad.doubleclick.net, where our ads are hosted. If you ever decide to uninstall AdAway, remember to disable ad blocking first, otherwise your phone will continue to block ads with no way to turn it off.

Remember also that this blocks ads within apps. This can be convenient, but we recommend you support app developers you like, either by whitelisting their ads or by buying the premium version of their app. App developers gotta eat too.

For Unrooted Phones: Browser-Based Ad Blockers

Unfortunately, if you aren't rooted, you don't have nearly as many choices. You pretty much have to block ads through your browser, and only a few browsers currently support this. Firefox is the easiest method—just download Firefox, and add the Adblock Plus extension, which you can grab from the add-ons page in Firefox's settings.

Full size

Opera Mobile is the other choice. Reader Nitesh discovered that you can create your own adblock filter for Opera with a simple text file. First, create a file calledurlfilter.ini somewhere on your SD card (I put mine in Opera's folder), and copy the text from this pastebin page. You can also grab updated filters <a href="this page">here, though the pastebin page contains the full code you need to make the urlfilter.inifile recognizable. Paste that text it into theurlfilter.ini file on your SD card. It's usually easiest to do this from your computer, after plugging in your device and enabling USB mode.

Then, disconnect your phone and open up Opera. Type opera:config in the URL bar and search for "URL Filter". You should see an option to tell Opera where your URL filter file is. Tap that box, then hit the back button until you're at the root of your phone (which it recognizes as a simple /). Then go to /mnt/sdcard and navigate to the urlfilter.ini you just created. After a reboot, you should find that Opera is ad-free.

Sadly, there aren't more methods to block ads on Android, but these should help get most of you by. Got any of your own ad-blocking solutions we didn't mention? Be sure to share them in the comments.

How To Check For Android Updates On Your Android Phone

Android is a revolutionary operating system produced in part by internet giant Google . It is most known for running the Nexus 1, Samsung Galaxy, LG Fender,and other mobile phones. While some refer to this phone as a standalone “Google Phone,” Google has made efforts to increase awareness that there is no such thing.

The Open Handset Alliance (OHA), a consortium that includes technology companies like Google, Texas Instruments, Motorola, Qualcomm, Samsung, and others that has committed itself to creating unrestricted standards for cell phones and other mobile devices. The result of this is Android, a Linux-based mobile phone operating system, OHA’s first product. This software was released with an open source license by Google in 2008. Since that time, virtually every major mobile phone manufacturer has ported Android to one of their phones. Android is rapidly gaining traction in the cell phone marketplace, primarily due to the revolutionary open source development kit that has enabled a plethora of applications to become available to run on it. As of late 2009, Android is estimated to have 3.5% of the smartphone market. Current estimates suggest that Android will become the second most popular mobile operating system by 2012, ahead of Blackberry, Windows Mobile, and iPhone.

Automatic Android updates

One of the features of Android is its ability to receive updated software as it becomes available. This update feature runs in the background, ready to accept updates as they are “pushed” out to the phones. Because there are so many Android based phones in use, not all of them receive updates to the Android operating system at the same time. Users of Android phones have the option to wait until updates become available on their phone, or they can follow a simple procedure to manually check for Android updates. This functionality is a lot like the Windows Update feature found in Windows that downloads updates and asks you for permission when they are ready to install.

When left to itself, the Android-based phone will place a notification on the phone’s home screen and prompt for confirmation to install. Once the updates are accepted, the user can go to device information to confirm that the latest version of Android is now on the phone.

Checking for Android updates

1. Power up the phone and press “Menu” to unlock it
2. Push the “Home” key
3. Push the “Menu” button.
4. Touch the screen or use the navigator wheel to select the “Settings” option.
5. Within the “Settings” menu, select the “About phone” option that is found towards the bottom of the list. This option displays the version number and build number of Android that is running on the phone.
6. Touch the “System updates” option. This causes the phone to look for any new Android updates. If an update is available, the phone will download and install it.

Creating a shortcut

1. There is an application available called AnyCut that can help simplify the update process by creating a shortcut to “Device info.”
2. Install AnyCut by going to Android Market, and then touch “Search” and type in “AnyCut.”
3. Create a shortcut on the phone’s desktop.
4. Choose “AnyCut” from the list and choose “Device Info” as the “Activity.”
5. Scroll to the end of the list and press “Check for updates.”
6. Once the process has completed, exit to the home screen where you will be prompted to install the update.

One of the strongest features of the Android mobile phone operating system platform is found in its ability to receive updates as they become available. For those who can’t wait their turn to get them, the manual update feature is a godsend. Also, the security advantage of Android updates should not be overlooked. As soon as vulnerabilities are discovered, developers are able to correct them and distribute them automatically to the phones to protect users from damage.
