Blank Service Menu - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I wanna improve my reception, and i keyed in *#*#197328640#*#* to bring up service menu.
However, my service menu was blank. Anyone knows why? I am testing the rom,kernel and baseband as stated on my siggy.
Could this be baseband related?
Cheers,
Anjoid
P.S was searching on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674286 and CWM Flashable modems by perka, it states that my modem is for ICS. I should have the JB one called DXLH4?

Is there anyone out there who knows a thing or two about something like this? It's funny because i did multiple searches, and people get this sort of issue when the phone doesnt recognise the SIM card. My phone is working fine, text messages and all. I have my IMEI number and everything. except i noticed my sms message centre number is blank. But everything still works fine.
I hope someone out there can address this issue.
Many thanks guys.

Bumping posts is banned on XDA this is not a fix my phone service .
If a user reads your post and has the answer they will reply .
Modems are interchangeable and may work better for some areas try another modem or two .

Thanks, understood. I dont think it is a modem issue here. Just flashed the new jelly bean modem. Same result. The Service Menu is blank, meaning it does not detect my SIM most likely. However, everything on my phone is fine. That is the irony.

Sounds like the same issue I described in my thread. I put instruction on how to switch networks there. Here is the link if you don't already have it.

So even with a new ROM this problem still happens? I had a phone that did that, it was a refurbed that ATT sent out to me. I had to send it back.

[Q] HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 - com.android.phone force close

I had this problem on the 23.03 as well, but didn't notice until this morning when I tried to make a very important business call from work
Much to my dissapointment I cannot make any phone calls using Hydrogen-23.03
So I updated to 25.03 since it is out now
Same problem
After some quick re-flashing and testing I find the problem is to do with the screen density....
When the phone is set for mdpi (160) the com.android.phone app force closes as soon as you hit the 'call' button
I have to keep the phone set at standard yucky 240dpi to make any phone calls
I have tried doing the factory data wipe, plus tried wiping the dalvik cache.. also tried deleting the data of Phone app... nothing seems to make it work at 160dpi
It's a known bug on AOKP that the dialer will crash upon making or receiving calls if the DPI is set below 182. Just set it to that and you should be fine.
No idea if a fix is already in the pipeline.

Will I have any Market issues at 182? I used to choose 160 because it's a standard option, I assumed it might be more compatible and now I've kinda gotten used to it.... I will try 182 though, because I really want to run Hydrogen (today I flashed FoxHound 7.0 and it's nice and I like the apex launcher, but Hydrogen was just so cool with its AOKP awesomeness and the ROM Control menu is great, plus it's a very cut-down ROM which I prefer because so far I can't get any good battery life from my SGS2
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, using 182 will cause compatibility issues since it's a non standard resolution, but you can get around it with LCD density modder pro.

Phone bricked?
Hi, first post, hopefully at the right place.
I've just installed HyDrOG3NICS. Unfortunately, it seems to have bricked my SII.
I get a black screen, that's all. No recovery mode, no download mode, nothing.
Is there anything I can do to get back either the recovery or the download mode?
Thx a lot

You have a blank profile, and you only state you have an "SII".
Check what model of SII you have. It will be on the label under the battery.
US carriers all carry a completely different model of SII than what this forum is for (GT-I9100). If you have an American carrier model of SII, you are in the wrong place, and flashed a firmware that wasn't meant for your phone, and may have completely borked it.
Hi thought I'd post this hear. Unable to receive and send picture messages since I flashed the from. Quite new to all this so I've probably done something wrong!
Also how do you change the dpi?
Thanks

You need to be rooted to do this. From what I can tell, HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 is NOT rooted unless you root after installing it.
Also, it's pretty rude to hijack threads, unless you are having the same problem the OP of the thread is having. That applies to both you and soho123.
Yikes! Apologies for offending you!
Only posted it in this one as it was linked to the same ROM!
I'll try not to be so rude in future.
But thanks for the reply anyway.

Doesn't offend me. But it goes against one of the forum rules. (off-topic posting)
It may be the same ROM, but it's a totally different problem.

if you flashed the HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 rom you can change them through
settings>>Rom Control >>General UI >> LCD Density.
It will be set to 240 by default. do not change it unless you know what you are doing.. anything less then 182 causes issues with market and phone app on the AOKP rom which HyDrOG3N-ICS is based on
Thanks nomi.
I'll read into it a bit more before i do anything. Curiosity gets the better of me when I read so many posts about tweeks and features.
ctomgee, point taken. I'll try not break anymore rules. Thanks for heads up.

Sounds off topic, but if when you say "it should work shouldn't it", you are talking about the HyDrOG3N-ICS ROM, then yes, it should work. Unless you didn't follow the installation instructions exactly.
Hard bricked, so your phone does not react with the battery in and any button presses at all?

Cant hear anything when making calls

Hi all,
I have tried around 5 different ROMs and I keep coming across this problem. The recipients of the call can hear me but nothing looks to be happening my end, no calling beeps or ringing tones.
any ideas? Is it something simple like a kernel issue or radio?
I am currently using SlimBean 3 and stock radio/kernel that comes with it.

It really depends on your area. Check the stickie for the modem and ril thread. mb5 is what worked for me.
Think you have the same problem I had. You could try suggestions in these post, but probably will have to

You're not the first user with the same problem.
What you did before it happens? What's your rom? Have you a 4.3 or an older bootloader? Hardware tweaks such overclock, overvolt etc. ?

your LCD got damaged
if you are unable to get to boot loader then replace it
nothing can be done if you can't access at least boot loader
Excluded LCD, is device working?
If you simply bootup it, can you ear the boot animation sound?
Can Odin recognize it?

Me personally I would get a new phone and sell yours for parts etc, of course its entirely up to you. Google some prices and see what you can afford but in my opinion the cost of repairing would not be far off the cost of what a Galaxy S3 is worth now days.:crying:
