Google Pixel Secret Codes & USSD Dial Codes (2026)
Stock Android diagnostic codes
Google Pixel secret codes are the closest thing Android has to a reference implementation, because Pixels run stock Android without a manufacturer skin. The most valuable is the testing menu, which surfaces battery health and usage statistics, Wi-Fi information, cellular radio details and a phone information panel where you can inspect the current network type and force a radio refresh.
Because there is no vendor layer, Pixel diagnostics are text-heavy rather than graphical: instead of a coloured hardware grid you get raw counters, signal measurements and connection state. That is more informative for troubleshooting a flaky connection, and it maps directly onto what a carrier support agent will ask you for.
Pixel devices also honour the universal GSM strings, so IMEI display, call forwarding status and call barring interrogation all behave exactly as the standard specifies. Google removes engineering codes more aggressively than other vendors with each Android release, so a code that worked on an older Pixel may simply be gone after a platform update rather than broken.

How to use Google Pixel codes
- Open the Pixel Phone app and go to the keypad, exactly as if you were dialling a number.
- Type the code precisely as shown, including the leading
*and the trailing#. Autocorrect and paste can drop characters, so type it out. - Most sequences fire the moment the final character is entered — you usually do not press call.
- If the screen does not change, press the call button once; a few USSD strings need it.
- Back up photos, messages and app data before running anything marked destructive, then confirm you are on the right device.
- Nothing at all happening usually means the code is disabled on your firmware or blocked by your carrier — it is not a fault with your handset.
Google Pixel secret codes — FAQ
¿Todos los teléfonos Google Pixel admiten los mismos códigos secretos?
No. La compatibilidad con los códigos depende del modelo, de la versión del firmware y, en muchos casos, del operador que suministró el teléfono. Los modelos Google Pixel más antiguos suelen ofrecer más menús de servicio que los más recientes, porque los fabricantes restringen gradualmente el acceso a las herramientas de ingeniería mediante aplicaciones de diagnóstico firmadas. Si un código no hace nada, casi con total seguridad se ha eliminado o desactivado en tu versión, en lugar de haberse escrito incorrectamente.
¿Es seguro marcar los códigos secretos de Google Pixel?
Los códigos que marcamos como "seguros" solo muestran información o abren un menú de pruebas de solo lectura, por lo que no pueden dañar tu teléfono. Los códigos marcados como "precaución" cambian un ajuste o inician una rutina de hardware que deberías comprender primero, y los códigos marcados como "destructivos" borran los datos del usuario al instante sin un diálogo de confirmación. Haz siempre una copia de seguridad antes de ejecutar cualquier código de la categoría destructiva.
¿Por qué no ocurre nada cuando introduzco un código?
Hay tres motivos habituales: el código no es compatible con tu firmware, tu operador de red ha bloqueado la cadena USSD o el marcador requiere que pulses el botón de llamada para esa secuencia concreta. Prueba el código con otra SIM o en modo avión y comprueba cada carácter, incluidos el asterisco inicial y la almohadilla final.
¿Usar estos códigos anulará la garantía de mi Google Pixel?
La simple lectura de información de diagnóstico no anula la garantía. Sin embargo, cambiar los ajustes de bandas de radio, ejecutar operaciones de escritura en un menú de ingeniería o realizar un formateo de fábrica puede dejar el dispositivo en un estado que un servicio técnico podría considerar causado por el usuario. Limítate a los códigos de solo lectura, salvo que sigas instrucciones oficiales de reparación.
¿Pueden estos códigos liberar un teléfono Google Pixel con bloqueo de red?
No. La liberación de red requiere un código de desbloqueo proporcionado por el operador o una solicitud oficial de liberación a través de tu operador. Cualquier sitio que prometa un código de marcación universal y gratuito para desbloquearlo te está engañando. Los códigos que se enumeran aquí solo dan acceso a diagnósticos, estado de la red, información del firmware y rutinas de restablecimiento de fábrica.
¿Cómo encuentro mi IMEI en un dispositivo Google Pixel?
Marca *#06# en cualquier teléfono GSM o LTE, incluidos todos los modelos Google Pixel, y el IMEI aparecerá inmediatamente. También puedes validar el número con nuestro comprobador de IMEI, que calcula la suma de verificación de Luhn utilizada por la GSMA para detectar números IMEI mal escritos o inventados.
