Recently I got my hands on the new stylish and awesome phone "Samsung Wave GT-S8500" which comes with Samsung's new Bada OS.
While playing with the new phone, I found some interesting hidden secret codes which can enable/disable various hidden options and can also provide lots of useful information about the phone which is not available in default menus.
You just need to type the codes using Keypad:
*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.
PS: 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.
*#197328640#
This code can be used to enter into Service mode. You can run various tests and change settings in the service mode.
*#0228#
This code can be used to get detailed information about phone battery.
*#7465625#
This code can be used to check the status of Sim Lock and Network Lock.
Codes to get Firmware version information:
*#4986*2650468# - SW Version, HW Version, MP, RF Cal Date, CSC Version, CSC Model Spec, FFS Version, RC2 Version
*#1234# - SW Version and CSC Version
*#1111# - FTA SW Version
*#2222# - FTA HW Version
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Test Codes:
*#526# - Wi-Fi Manual MFG Test Mode
*#232337# - BT RF Test Mode
Codes to launch various Factory Tests:
*#0*# - LCD test
*#0673# OR *#0289# - Melody test
*#0842# - Vibration test
*#2663# OR *#2664# - TM Command

By looking into the core files of the phone firmware.

Vishal,
Can Opera be installed on this BADA OS? That's the only caveat I am seeing with this phone.
VG
^^ Yes. Open m.opera.com in mobile phone and install the browser.

Similar codes available for Nokia and SE to check the serial number and the firmware version.
Works for all Nokia and SE phones
*#06# for serial number. Check the 7th and 8th digit. It will tell you where your phone has been manufactured. -00- means original factory and -01- is Finland, etc.
Nokia phones only (all) *#0000# gives the model number, and firmware version.
