This is the “Hidden service menu” of the Galaxy S3, i.e. a menu which you can use to test and make sure that everything works as it should on your device. All smartphones usually bring one, as in this case, the application is opened from the phone app using a code and in this tutorial I will show you how.

Step 1: Open the Phone application from your Android home screen.

interesting menu to test LCD in Galaxy SIII, specially the sensor button that checks accelerometer, proximity, barometer, altitud, light, gyroscope and magnetic sensors. Try gyroscope graph and move your phone in all directions. The touch button can help to detect defects at any part of the display. In my case everything works ok.
