Secret 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.
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

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

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.

Andy started working on android in 2002 at Android Inc., Soon after he began his work on android he ran out of money. Then in 2005 Google acquired the Android Inc., and made him the director of the mobile platform for the Google.

            Android has the power of full blown computer operating system, it is based on the open source linux platform and oracle's java, one the most used programming language.It seems everything work in the favor of android powerful operating system and powerful programming language, so the result has to be something which extends the legacy of these powerful medium. And this is how my GREEN MUSKETEER comes into the existence.

           The first Android powered phone was sold in October 2008 and by the end of 2010 android had become the world's leading smartphone platform, overtaking the legacy of symbian (operating system of nokia).

           It is PUPPET which never compromise the security and privacy of your data as it runs in an isolated environment SANDBOX.
