Galaxy S3 hidden service menu

[stolen678]

So on the S3, I had the hidden service menu, accessed by going into dialer and typing *#0*# which would automatically access the service menu. ( I also found a picture of a chihuahua when i went through the sensors and image test) but this was all while on ICS. When verizon decided to let me upgrade to jellybean, I can no longer access this menu. This is on a completely stock S3, before I root it and install Backtrack. Model number SCH-I535. Is anyone else having this problem or something similar?

Just out of curiosity what exactly would you use the service menu for that you can't do otherwise?

I normally test my sensors and screen. Plus its fun to show my friends the chihuahua.

I'd really like to know how to do this, too. I recently dropped my phone and had to replace my screen. It's sitting differently on the phone than my previous screen and I think a touch calibration (which could previously be accessed through the service menu) would help out a lot. It's been very frustrating trying to use my phone because it doesn't respond as well as it did before, so I have to slow down and be a lot more deliberate when using the keyboard or just interacting with my phone at all.

I hope that's enough reason to figure out how to do this, haha.

this works for me

Try *#0011# use the options key to go back to the main service menu

Don't think the service menu works anymore. Ever since Verizon updated to 4.1.1 jb the service menu is not accessible through that way.

HELLO FRIEND---REMEMBER BEFORE YOU READ BELOW
*REMEMBER8--WITH GREAT POWER/KNOWLEDGE COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY! :biggrin:
*************************

(in all seriousness---PLEASE DON'T do anything that which you don't know what the outcome will be).
For the most part, these are "Harmless" *IF*----*IF* you do not actually *FIRM* it.


*#22745927 <-------- *SUPPOSED TO BE * Universal for *ALL CARRIERS* (it's a Samsung S3 Hack/not Carrier specific Hack).

ALSO *SOME* (Based on Carrier)--might have you locked out/thus not *ALL CHOICES* will work with *ALL* phones.
(HOWEVER *MOST* should work).

Also, if you restart your phone,etc. The "Hidden Menu" will default back to disabled. (Thus need to input again).





************************
First type *#22745927 to get to an 'enable/disable hidden menu' screen. Check enable and you're good to go.
---friendly note to help remember (if you are US Citizen)--think of like a SSN#== *#227-45-927# (never forget :biggrin


*#0*#=Services Menu <------This, you should explore first. It's simply a "Test/Diagnostic Menu" (allows no changes).
*VERY ROBUST* way to test your phone--without fear of harming. (Color Tests, Receiver, Vibration, Diming, Senor, Cam, speaker, etc.etc.).

TEASER
---AFTER YOU GO IN (WILL LOOK LIKE GRAPH/TILE BOARD 3X5---CLICK "SENSOR" (dead center of screen).

Let's you see "Accelerometer Settings", "Proximity Sensor", "Barometer Sensor", "Light Senor", "Gyroscope Sensor", "Magnetic Sensor"
(thus most settings are RAPIDLY changing--and you can lift your phone, change position watch it find the "X,Y,Z" access of it. Cool on first look.

----*AGAIN*--you'll see places to INPUT info---I WOULD *NOT* do that--as you can deduce this is probably the most important information the phone needs (where it is in "space"/"sea level",etc.etc. So can provide Accurate GPS, Navigation,etc.
(hit "Back" few times to exit out).

***************
To Input numbers.
(for screens that need it--click "Menu Button"--a choice you'll see is for "INPUT" (thus allows you to type number)--will pause 1-2 seconds then take to that screen.

Also I think (need verify)--Of course you see the Phone/GUI Based Choice for "Factory Reset: (Settings/Back up and Reset/Factory data reset).

*#7780# (Factory Reset)---would be the same (thus keeps Carrier Bloatware on).
*27673855# (Full Factory Reset) )(would be straight from Factory) before Carrier Changes/loads to their specs.
(notE does not have a leading #)----careful if you try (might also erase all the NAM/ETC information ties phone to carrier. Again, you have been warned! :biggrin:


REST FOR YOUR PLEASURE!

For anyone who is still reading this and looked at the codes above and thought they would be cool but couldn't get them to work, I have a solution. After the update the hidden menu was disabled. To enable it, simply type in *#22745927 and hit "enable hidden menu"
