I’m not trying to bullshit you. If you have a Samsung Galaxy—virtually any one of them—then you have a hidden chihuahua on your phone. You would never stumble upon it, which is why you’ve likely never seen nor known about it, but it’s there, lurking, ready to greet you at a moment’s notice.
The chihuahua is a picture, but it isn’t your Galaxy’s Gallery app—it’s in a hidden menu called “diagnostic mode.” These diagnostics aren’t advertised by Samsung in any way and you won’t find them by digging through the Settings app (or even entering developer mode).
How to launch diagnostic mode on your Samsung Galaxy
To launch diagnostic mode on any Samsung Galaxy device, open the Phone app, then dial *#0*#. No matter what Galaxy you have, you’ll see a simple menu appear with a series of options that allow you to test different functions of your phone. For example, you’ll likely see “RED,” “GREEN,” or “BLUE” at the top of the grid, which test the screen’s ability to display those colors. “RECEIVER” plays a dial tone until you exit the test, and “TOUCH” allows you to test the accuracy of your touch screen.
Your options may differ depending on your Galaxy device, since Samsung makes so many different smartphones. Their Fold and Flip series, for example, likely have options that Samsung’s standard smartphones don’t have. The only Galaxy device I have is on the older side, so I see an option for an “LED” light test that newer phones wouldn’t have.
How to find the hidden chihuahua
But enough explanation—we’re here for the chihuahua. With diagnostic mode open, tap “SENSOR.” Here, you’ll see a jumble of data and buttons, but the one we want is “IMAGE TEST” at the top of the screen. Hit that, and woof: Chihuahua.

There’s no explanation for its existence. Whose is it? Why is it hidden away on every Samsung phone? If it’s a test image, why is the quality so poor? These are questions that will likely haunt the tech community forever, unless Samsung offers an explanation. I didn’t know about this quirk myself until I stumbled on this TikTok from creator tbvrgg, who showed off the hidden chihuahua on brand-new Galaxies at the store. Whether you pick up a Galaxy today or pull an old one out of your drawer, the chihuahua will be there. It’s always been there.

As we’ve written about in the past, not only can ceiling fans keep your home cooler in the summer— with or without air conditioning —but they can also help your home stay warm and toasty in colder weather. 02:15 How to Steam an Egg Wednesday 11:19AM But when it comes to choosing a ceiling fan, it’s not solely a matter of finding one to match your decor: You should also consider the room’s square footage in order to ensure that the fan is able to get the job done.

Find the square footage of the room You can use an online square footage calculator , or do the math : Measure the length of the room (in feet) Measure the width of the room (in ...
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...
Photo : Pixel-Shot ( Shutterstock ) This game is nearly identical to the “drink every time” game above, but adjusted for shots, so it’s for those trying to party a little harder. The idea is to make a list of shot-worthy occurrences—like “a coach yells at a referee” or “something goes wrong during the halftime show”—and then take a shot whenever they happen. If the promise of regular shots isn’t enough for you, we have another twist for you: The “1, 2, 3" rule. The first time something from your shot list happens, you take one shot. The second time it occurs, take two. The third, three...and then hopefully you don’t push your health and safety past that point. On the other hand, you can always choose to sip instead of taking a full shot. Again, none of these party games have to involve alcohol. But they definitely can if you want them to. Super Bowl LVII is on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. E T /3:30 p.m. P T.
