    With android phones if you put *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer it will pull up a secret menu where you can shut off the antenna and do various other things.

    Here's other codes, but be careful when using them

    i'd say alot of people will mess their phone up if they start turning the antenna on and off (among other things)

    I doubt they are secrets, but there for phone maintenance and tech info for anyone fixing them up.

    Not much use to anyone other than that.

    More likely handy for the average person for trolling people into factory resetting their phone as I seen someone do on facebook today.

    One of those group pages that like putting up funny pictures all all had the code for factory resetting up today. Ensue a long list of people cursing and swearing in the comments that their phones were ****ed up and they'd lost all their numbers :pac: :p

    I stuck it in anyways because I was literally just copying a ZIP over to the phone at the time to flash a new rom so said why not for the laugh but it didn't work for me :( I felt really let down somehow, in hindsight I probably made a typo but sur

    But yeah - I lol'ed because I'm a bastard when I seen all the people with factory reset phones :p
