"Hidden" service menus S3

[Joshieca]

Not sure if this was posted already, I searched....I found this the other day on how to bring up a "hidden" service menu on the S3, no root needed. Allows access to bunch of testing features to see if your phone isn't working or is working correctly.....

Accessing the Service menu

The Service menu is activated through a sort of code that you enter into the dial pad of the phone. To get started:

1. Start your Phone app
2. Get to the Keypad screen
3. Type in: *#0* #

You now should have in front of you a screen with a 5 X 3 grid of options.

Never seen that before so thank you.

And, so, now that we have this screen up...then what? I'm not sure that I would be brave enough to click on one of the choices.

Click the link at the bottom, it takes you to the page that explains what those things do. I don't think it makes any changes to your phone, just allows for testing....but obviously use with caution and at your own risk.

Only works on stock ROMS, but oh well, I dont need it since my phone is functioning fine.
