Whether you’re buying a Sony Ericsson P1i or the latest G900, or simply would like to periodically check the hardware status or firmware version, then you can access the Sony Ericsson service menus to find out hidden gems.
If you’re buying a new phone, the service menus can help you to confirm if the main hardware components are working correctly. |

What Are in Service Menus?
The most important interfaces in service menus are service information and service tests. Service information menu will tell you the version of PDA software, phone software, Bluetooth software and CDA running in your phone. These are the components determining the localized features available to software of a region (such as text input), and the version number will reveal how updated your firmware is.
On the other hand, the service tests menu has a number of quick and easy hardware tests to confirm the hardware component status, whether they are working properly. Examples of test available are display, camera, touch screen, keyboard, speaker and etc.
Periodically, I would access and run the service tests to check the hardware status (make myself more comfortable :p)
