If you're rooted, you can get to it via a terminal command. Type:

am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://197328640

You can use other secret codes. For example I use 2263 to take me directly to the RF band selector (900MHz is congested where I live, 2100MHz works great). I have a script I can run that automatically invokes the code, i.e. I can drop to a terminal, type "su", and then "sh servicemenu.sh" and a few seconds later, I'm in the service menu. Perhaps an app could be written to automate that (root access would be required, unfortunately).

Anyone else finding it kinda slow? Any ideas how to speed it up?
[Galaxy S III General] LancelotSA:
The screen battery drain in this new firmware seems to have increased! Still have display brightness on auto. Nothing else changed. Battery draining quick when phone in use. Further evidence of this is that the phone continues draining slowly if I use it while charging! So it is draining quicker than it charges!

Any issues if I go back to the previous firmware? Will I lose data etc? Any other solutions? Not rooted and I don't use customs.
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
Yes, if you downgrade, you will lose your data. So if you don't want to lose your data, I suggest you to backup your data.
[Galaxy S III General] danierakes:

[Galaxy S III General] zele35:
Is it possible that it drains faster that it charges?

[Galaxy S III General] LancelotSA:
Battery was fine 4 days ago before I updated.

Indeed. That is precisely what is happening to me. I have to stop using the phone for it to actually charge. I haven't changed anything else.

This is really frustrating...i think that Samsung is really too busy making new phones and when we showed them our trust buying this expensive toy now there is no more time to make a fully functional firmware...

I'm currently on stock 4.1.2, and want to stay the same for some time.

As this phone has RAM issues so thought of rooting it and remove bloatware. I want to ask if I root then can I update my phone to 4.3 via OTA or I will have to use KIES for updating.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S III General] Cezar`:
Unfortunately Samsung solved nothing.

After installing MK6 from scratch, the lockscreen is slightly faster than with the previous 4.3 release but there is no improvement of speed. This, and the fact that many users prefer AOSP, proves that Samsung needs to get it's $**t together and figure out a way to make their customers happy for once. I owned 2 Galaxy phones, both disappointed. Sometimes I feel rage but mostly sadness because they seemed to want to do better than Apple and all other manufacturers but failed miserably so many times.

They are a great technological company but have very little to offer in the Smartphone area except for a gazillion models that have very little real "smart" in them.

Just to make sure this is not a subjective opinion, I did give my phone to my wife for 1 week. She is coming from a Nexus One. She threw it back at me saying (and these are her exact words, a non gadget person):

.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
There IS improvement in speed. Seems like it's your phone's hardware.

There are many people facing same issue (slowness) with new BTU firmware,but those are rare. I also had,though,and installing new VOD one solved that. But even MK6 BTU one was pretty fast.
[Galaxy S III General] swipermusic:
Got it great thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] Cezar`:
I believe it all depends on what one understands by fast. For me fast is something that has less than 1 second delay in accessing an application. But that's just me. I installed CM 10.2 and passed the toy to my wife. She's happy now.
