Secret Hacking codes for Android Mobile Phones:

1. Complete Information About your Phone  

*#*#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

2. Factory data reset

*#*#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 application
• SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.

Note: 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.

3. Format Android Phone

  *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.

Note: 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.

4. Phone Camera Update

*#*#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.

5. End Call/Power

*#*#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.

6. File Copy for Creating Backup

*#*#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.

Adding Header Image to Dynamic Views

Using Blogger Dynamic Views, you will notice that the traditional Header Image option is missing. This is something most bloggers have been asking Blogger about. The good news is, Blogger is aware and they mentioned that these customizations are being rewritten to function in this new environment.

Until then, let me share something you could find helpful in adding a header image to your blog with Dynamic Views enabled:

1. On your Dashboard, click on a Blog you want to add a header image
2. Hit Customize
3. On Blogger Designer, click on Advanced
4. add CSS, then type:

#header .header-bar{
background: url('insert image your url here') fixed;
}

Here's a sample from one of my blogs:

I recommend that you use a 1200x65 image to cover the entire header bar. Please note that the header texts will still be visible even if you set it to transparent. So come up with an image which can go well with the texts.

Let me know if this works for you.

Cheers!
