This page gathers the most practical phone tricks, secret codes and quick‑fix hacks from our latest posts so you can start using your device like a pro today.
Quick Wins: Battery, Speed & Storage
First thing’s first – battery life. Try dialing *#*#4636#*#*
(or the code listed in our "30 Secret Smartphone Codes to Improve Battery Life" article) to open the testing menu and see real‑time power stats. Turn off unused location services, limit background app refresh, and switch to dark mode when possible. Those simple steps can add a solid 2‑3 hours of usage.
Speed issues? Hidden Android settings like Animator duration scale and Window animation scale are often set to 1× by default. Setting them to 0.5× or turning them off gives a noticeable boost, as explained in "10 Hidden Android Settings to Boost Speed and Performance". On iPhone, the battery‑saving tips in our "15 iPhone Battery Hacks" article are just as effective – lower screen brightness, enable Low Power Mode, and disable “Raise to Wake”.
Storage filling up fast? Our "20 Tips to Free Up Space on Your Smartphone" shows you how to clear hidden caches, move media to cloud folders, and uninstall bloatware with a few taps. A quick audit of app sizes in Settings will reveal the real space hogs.
Hidden Menus, Easter Eggs & Fun Features

If you love customizing your look, check out our "15 Secret Android Launchers for Ultimate Customization" guide. A new launcher can change icons, add gesture controls, and even replace the notification shade. It’s like giving your phone a fresh outfit without buying a new device.
Got a stubborn network issue? The "15 Tips to Manage 5G and LTE Settings on Your Phone" article explains how to toggle between network modes, save battery and improve speed by forcing LTE only when 5G isn’t needed. Pair that with the secret signal‑boost codes in "15 Secret Codes to Improve Mobile Network Signal" for a stronger connection.
