Six Samsung Galaxy Dial Codes That Unlock Hidden Phone Tools

The Android Authority piece highlights six Samsung Galaxy MMI dial codes that reveal hidden phone tools: *#06# for IMEI (two IMEIs on dual‑SIM), *67 or *31# to hide caller ID, *#0808# to view and set USB connection modes, *#2663# to access a touchscreen firmware and Wi‑Fi refresh menu, *#9900# to delete old system logs, and *#0*# to run a hardware diagnostics suite for speakers, touch, sensors, and more. It also notes you must disable One UI Auto Blocker for many codes to work (it re-enables after 30 minutes on newer versions) and that carrier-locked devices may see “connection problem” errors due to carrier restrictions.

Milky Way's Outer Spiral Arms Extend Further Than Thought, Say X-Ray Echoes

Milky Way's Outer Spiral Arms Extend Further Than Thought, Say X-Ray Echoes

Astronomers used X-ray echoes from rare gamma-ray bursts observed by NASA’s Chandra and ESA’s XMM-Newton to geometrically measure dust rings in the Milky Way’s spiral arms, finding the outer arms extend farther than previously known (one distant dust cloud about 3,500 light-years across). This geometry-based method, not dependent on the galaxy’s rotation, could prompt revisions to estimates of the Milky Way’s mass and structure, though its data are limited by the rarity of bright gamma-ray bursts.
