Secret Phone Codes You Didn't Know Existed! 

NOTE: This video has been absolutely overrun by scam/spam bots in the comments, so I've required all comments to be held for review. I'm not sure how often I'll be able to go through them.

@ThioJoe Not a single one of these codes worked on my Samsung A42 cellphone on the Verizon network. Any ideas as to why?

Can you do a tutorial on just a code you can put in your lock screen and it automatically open for Android Samsung please 🥺

How can you get the NSA and CIA to quit following you into the bathroom and watching you, just because you got your phone with you? They're everywhere, man. I'm not crazy, btw.

The 729 code also is a T9 for 'paw'.

WHO'S SCROLLING COMMENTS TO SEE IF ITS REAL?

Most of these codes generate the message USSD is running nothing else is shown. This is Android 8.1.0 on a Samsung J7phone. Any updates to the newer codes for Android 8.1.0?

GSM codes before smart phones is nothing new, I remember checking signal this way 20 years ago. it’s just now they might launch an app then displaying a bunch of information most didn’t understand in the past. But you did get me thinking, the Apple Watch keypad doesn’t have * or #, and even if it’s saved as a contact it won’t show me signal strength. I wonder how to check the cell strength on the Apple Watch?

You probably type them in and the national security service start taking an interest in you

Thanks for giving impormation

I have Galaxy S9 model G960U1. my data network is LTE but voice network is CDMA 1XRTT. I have a feeling that’s the reason VOLTE does not work on my phone even though its enabled and Sprint is offering it. How do I change the voice network to LTE as well. Thanks.

The 4636 menu is actually quite useful, at least to me. I live in Germany near the French border and I frequently go over there. My phone will by default always stick to the German cell service, even if it's an extremely poor connection. With this menu, I can force it to only allow LTE so it switches to the French network when there is no more German LTE (which is usually before I even reach the border - yeah, cell service is really bad here). There are also shortcut apps for this when you don't want to type it in every time.

4:46 for Android users

Great works ....I love this

I should be sleeping. It's 11 p.m here but a thio joe video is just uploaded. Sleep has to wait.

I used to watch you like 6-8 years ago and then a few weeks ago i remembered your channel and now youtube recommended me this video. Illuminati?

Pet mode was pretty cool, but it didn't work on my Mi9 with android 10 :(

I have a Rebel LG4 TracFone. Once I have sent a text message to someone, later on in the day I can I pull up the message I sent and hold my finger on the text. After a few seconds a sort of toolbar appears at the top of my screen with options and I touch a white "I" icon within a small black circle. This brings up a pop up screen that tells me my phone number, the phone number I sent the message to, then the next line reads "Status 65536" followed by the date and time I sent the message. I also have one message with all the same info but one line reads "Status 128" Any idea what those two status codes mean? I've searched and can't find an explanation so I thought I'd come here and check with the experts. Thanks.

TFS! No longer a secret Joe! 🤣😃😂👍🏾 Happy Holidays! ☃️🎄❄️💫🤘🏾

Every android version has an easter egg wich shows up when you tap multiple times on your android version number in the settings. The code just opens the easter egg. So you can activate petmode in the settings too.

5:00 imagine typing "secret" into CTRL+F and actually getting something

waits 4 1/2 hours for audible ad. damn i thought i had youtube prmium

Lmao when you got a text on your phone 4:17 I got a text!!!

Love you videos I've learned alot laughed and all I do is just love watching your videos

The data from carier one seems to not work outside the US

thiojoe is a nice guy

Now that I am one of the first viewer, I will take the chance to thank you for all the videos you do for us. They are always very interesting. Keep going.

Thank you for your work.

I know these by the name Gate commands, They arn't restricted to smart phones I've been using them since the 90's. We used to remember them by what they spelled out (for example simclock I remember being one)

Cool info. Thanks

ThioJoe do ten minute videos if you really need it. Definitely wouldn't hate on you just because of that.

My younger brother is a cat lover. I've enabled the pet mode on his phone and he is surprised!! Thanks for sharing the codes :D

Wait can you not just get a signal strength stat page on iPhones? lol its in the options in any version of Android since like 2010

Just wait untill this man starts typing in gta 5 codes 😨😨😨

ThioJoe I love your content a lot.💜

Ur fan from India plz give ur like... Ur videos are awesome bro...

Cool stuff ! Thanks man, Wulfy

I have a Sony M4 aqua and its code locked. It's my daughters phone and she cant remember her code. I've tried a few things I've seen on RU-vid but none of them work. Any tips on how I can go about factory resetting my phone? Thanks

I already have Audible! :) I really like it!

# = Hash £ = Pound

Title says “Secret Phone Codes You Didn’t Know Existed!”, but now it’s not a secret anymore😆😆😆

what do you press after #*#* ? all my phone does , is tries to call the "secret number"

Awesome video Thio Joe. Thank you. I love your videos😉

I just wondering how to unlocked password or pattern of android phone thank you

This must be for IPhone because my phone sees this as an international call and won't do anything!

FYI -Doesn't work on a S21 Ultra.

I would have like to have skipped the first minute and a half because it had nothing to do with secret codes.

The Pet Mode feature makes me want to get an Android just for this feature!

Good explanation dude.

how can I unlock my Galaxy Note 3 from a network?

There is one that puts the actual signal strength out instead of the bars in the top menu, but it’s been years, and I don’t remember it.

I remember when I had a "party" with the test code and played music and had "lights". Of course my "party music and lighting" wad covered by the actual party music and lighting

@thiojoe hi i am unable to download apps from playstore...it says waiting to download or something....i messed up with one of the secret codes...kindly help

Why did I watch this video? For "Pet Mode" of course. 😁

I used to have a Galaxy S5 and I knew this one code that brought up this grid of icons with all sorts of tests.

Damn, I was hoping to keep the pet mode thing an insider secret. Thanks a lot 😢😢😢

You forgot to explain how to get the phone to accept the code and it showing what we want to see

All the of them I used said request not completed

Roses are red, these codes are fun I accidentally called 911

I wish apple had a pet mode! That’s so cute

Hi Joe how can I unlock my iPhone? Thank you.

4:40 Android

how do i fix my network connection i tried to use the code i watch earlier then after that i can't send messages pls help me tnx in advance

Hi, your very good looking, such nice eyes 😍 Ok here is my question. My LG phone seems ok. Until i try to connect the dots to log in. Its like ghost screen but weirder. The lines that connect the dots randomly move around to different dots. I have to move my finger slightly away from its naturally programmed path. Then as soon as it seems ok as most of my log in pattern is done, it wont register or let me connect the last dot to complete my pattern. Any ideas as to what that is? Will these codes work on any brand cell phone? Thanks for your knowledge.

It's really hard to get those codes when you go so fast. I don't have time to write them down. If you could include the codes in the information with the URL links at the bottom of the page, it would be very helpful.

Its called a hash, not a pound.

Love your channel bro!!

Now everybody knows 🤣 +1

Does it work on samsung or android?

Pls help me. How I can reset or change the radio band mode?

My favourite code not mentioned in video is *#0*# but actually works only in Samsung's phones It's for testing phone like RGB patterns for display, sensor informations etc

I like the pet mode code pretty much lol, definitely something worth doing

What's with the fingers at every naming of the codes like?

Thio Joe the Sheldon of RU-vid

That pet mode is so adorable......i love it btw thank you

So only one of the Android codes worked on my Samsung..not interested EXCEPT!!! let me take this opportunity to say that I am an older person who watched your video on how to increase the mbps on my new xfinity router...the April Fools vid. Hum...I was SO EXCITED to think I was going to circumvent the new service...I'm ignorant of any tech stuff so I was seriously hoping this would work because I purchased the cheapest Wi-Fi ( senior citizen on a VERY modest pension AND with a household full of grandkids who NEED this service for their school work. Something else I'm completely ignorant of). All set to drink me some bottled water and run to hardware store for tape when, at the end of video, a very disheartening APRIL FOOL popped up. I could not make this comment on that video so I'm making it here. Thanks for nothing. You could however "make it right" with this old granny and give me some real direction of possible, reinstate your credibility so to speak! Thank you for entertaining me. Granny

Is it just me, is Thio really calling a hashtag # a pound £???

Hi. i've a ZTE Blade Max, how can i force it 4G internet mode please?

I have this thing on my phone which IDK how to fix. I made a folder for my games and accidentally dismissed it. IDK what all of it means and IDK how to un dismiss it. Please help

Isn't there a code that makes people see you on call logs as "unknown number"? Remember seeing that once. Saludos❤🙌

Hello, I am using Red-mi Note 7 Pro, i forgot the Patton Lock, 1. Tried to download the Password Unlock / Aroma ZiP lock. 2. when i try to press Power + Vol UP button, i could see only 3 options. A. REBOOT B. WIPE DATA C. CONNECT WITH Mi Assistant 3. I do not see other options as you mentioned. Please help me out ......i do not want my data to be lost

Why are you saying pound its hash # not £ I'm confused! Maybe I am missing something.

It would be grate if you could come up with a way to block all phone numbers that aren't in saved contacts

Video starts at 1:51 (you're welcome)

1. Pet mode - what you said and what you displayed are different you are missing a digit/symbol with the display picture ? At the end you said “ pound, Star, pound, Star “ your video display #*# FYI which is correct ? 2. Pet mode doesn’t work on my Samsung S9 with Version 9 Australian user, using what you said and what you displayed? 3. You can however have a similar pet mode for Android phones only and every device is different by going to your software menu and keep tapping on Android Version ( just keep tapping on it ) your screen will change into your phones pet, and this pet changes with every update. Little Easter egg for you :)

will it work if I live outside usa

These codes aren't a secret anymore!!

is it valid in asia? or only india

On the imei one on Android you don’t even need to call

@ThioJoe Hi Thio ! Is there any way I can recover my deleted call history logs without an app ? Can you please help ?! Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately none of these work on my Galaxy S5, just calls the code put in. My network is Boost Mobile which is on Sprint Network, is that the hindrance?

None: Bots: SpY On YoUr SpOuSe

I accendently called 911....it said CALL NOT ALLOWED.....thank god

Pet mode didn't work on S 7 or S 10, what part dont I understand?

“Totally useless, but really cool. . .” Can I use that quote in my channel description?
