Secret codes are sequences of numbers, stars (*), and hashes (#) that you dial into your phone’s keypad. Unlike regular phone numbers, these commands are intercepted by the phone’s firmware before being sent to the carrier. They trigger specific hidden activities or "activities" within the Android operating system.
On the INFINIX Note 11 (running XOS 10.6 based on Android 11), most of these codes work flawlessly, though some may be disabled by your specific carrier or firmware update.
The INFINIX Note 11 is a powerhouse of a budget smartphone, boasting a 6.95-inch display, a 50MP camera, and a 5000mAh battery. But beneath its sleek glass and metal exterior lies a hidden world of diagnostic tools, engineering menus, and system information. This world is accessed via "USSD codes" or "secret codes."
For technicians, advanced users, or curious owners, these codes allow you to test hardware, retrieve unique device IDs (IMEI), run battery calibrations, and even tweak audio settings.
Warning: These codes are designed for diagnosis. Some codes (like recovery or factory reset) can erase your data. Proceed with caution and back up your phone before experimenting.
Here is the complete guide on how to use secret codes on the INFINIX Note 11.
It is simple:
If the code doesn't work, check for typos. If nothing happens, the specific code may be blocked by your network provider.
Secret codes are commands interpreted by the Android system's telephony stack (the RIL - Radio Interface Layer). When you type a code into the dialer app, the system recognizes the pattern and executes a specific activity—such as opening a hidden menu, running a test, or displaying device information.
On the INFINIX Note 11 (running XOS 10.6 or later based on Android 11/12), most standard Android codes work, but INFINIX also includes its own proprietary codes for hardware testing.
How to use them:
Code: *#8999#
This code opens a detailed "Engineering Data" menu specific to MediaTek-powered INFINIX phones (the Note 11 uses the Helio G85/G96 chipset). Here you can find:
