Sony Ericsson Secret Codes and Hacks

There are only two well known Sony Ericsson secret codes which allow you to access any hidden menus on the device and from what I can tell most of the newer models no longer include a lot of the options from the older phones however if you have the modern access codes just send them to me in a mail and I will add them here.

The standard *#06# which displays the IMEI number and then a menu accesible via the directional pad or joystick, simply enter the following sequence on the main menu screen.

-> * <- <- * <- * 

This will open a menu with a large variety of options based on your model of phone, some of the possible menus available here  include;

Software Information, Configuration Information, Sim Lock Status, Total Call Time, Text Labels, Real time Clock

There is also a section for testing your phone hardware and features which once again depends on which Sony Ericsson phone you have but normally includes;

Main display, LED/illumination, Flash LED, Keyboard, Earphone, Speaker, Radio, Camera, Vibrator, Microphone

Shortcut Codes

There are some shortcut codes which are not found in older manuals;

<- * * <- Queries the device lockstatus

0# Displays the call history tab

<-0000-> Resets the phone to the default language (normally English) or in some cases it takes you to the language selection menu which is good enough if you are trying to restore your phones language settings after a minor mistake or prank

Once again if you are aware of any other Sony Ericsson Secret codes please send me a mail so that I can add them to the list here.


iPhone Secret Codes and Hacks

IPhone Secret codes are available here, these codes will work on the iPhone 3 or 4, most of them are actually service codes which do not work in all countries and regions.

*3001#12345#* Enters Field mode which allows you to access most of the hidden settings and functions of your iPhone
*#06# Display the IMEI of your iPhone, as always this is the standard code for all brands of phones.
*225# Displays the account balance for postpaid contracts
*777# Displays the account balance for prepaid accounts
*646# Displays the remaining minutes available
*3282# Get your data usage information
*729 Options to make payments
611 Dials customer service, (114 in RSA for Vodacom)

There you have it, all the codes available for the iPhone. Much like Android there really are not that many interesting secret codes since the operating system can and does expose the bulk of the features already. If you have any other interesting iPhone secrets or hacks please e-mail them and I will add them here.
