    The vulnerability was initially thought to only affect the Galaxy S III as tweeted by Pau Olivia:

    Although multiple reports suggest that it only brings up the phone’s dialer. The vulnerability instead works on the Galaxy S II which is caused by the TouchWiz launcher which automatically dials the reset code.
