I would agree, but the baseband does come packaged with most roms and if he flashed different one couple times, he should have been lucky once at least. Not all custom roms would have had the same basebands. Maybe the user could try the MB6 or MB5 baseband, both have worked solid in my case.

Can anyone tell me where is the NFC in GS 3? In battery?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Yup. It's in the battery.
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
Thanks bro. Actually my phone's back cover is little loose from the very first day of purchase. I thought it was covered under warranty, but teletec rep told me that it comes under accessories which are not covered by warranty. And new one will cost me around 3K from teletec.

So i thought if NFC is in back cover and i replace it, nfc might not work.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
UGH. That's so lame of them! :rolleyes:

Well, just go and visit Hafeez Center and buy another back cover or you can buy the flip cover for Rs. 400-500. :p No point in wasting Rs. 3000.
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
Yeah this is what i ll do. 3K is expensive. I ll buy some other back cover if it gets more loose. It wont be a big deal, we already have a plastic phone .. lol. But its good. :)
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Yuuuuuuuup, we have a plastic phone (which I'm proud of :good:).
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
Haha... true :D

So have u tried CM in GS III? How s it?
[Galaxy S III General] HassanM:
NFC (Near Field Communication) has got nothing to do with your back cover... NFC works fine even within 1.5 inch with any NFC compatible device...
[Galaxy S III General] NOMIOMI:
same here lol:p
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
I haven't tried any custom ROMs on my Galaxy S3 yet. I tried a lot on my old Galaxy S, though.

Currently, I'm satisfied with the stock ROM. It does leave a few things to be desired but I think the updates are quite frequent.
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
Yeah i was thinking to try CM, but read others are facing problems with it. I didnt read the complete thread as there are so many posts thr, but thr seems to b bug in CM. I ll also keep using stock.

I also havent rooted my phone either, but watched some videos on youtube, rooting GS3 seems quite easy.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Yup, rooting barely takes 30 seconds. It's pretty simple! :good:

[MENTION=4069134]DeadSOL[/MENTION], u bought ur phone from HomeShopping i think? Is it made in China?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Yup, I bought it from HomeShopping. It's made in Vietnam and shipped from France.
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
Ok right.

I read their reply to some user there that they have made in korea sets as well. If i m not wrong then these korean GS III are clone?

And when and for how much did u buy it?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
They're not clones. Those are just Galaxy S3 phones made in Korea.

I bought mine for Rs. 59k last August. :p

If i m not forgetting HomeShopping said on their facebook page that it will be available with them on 29th April.

But whatmobile.com.pk mentions the price of those phones which are officially launched in Pak (and with warranty i think).
[Galaxy S III General] don2012:
I already bought it for 86k

Karachi zamzama
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
It wud be without warranty i guess.. right? Coz it is still not officially launched in pak.
[Galaxy S III General] don2012:
Nahi its with official 1 year samsung warrninty
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
Ok. Is samsung warranty available in Pak? I didnt know it.

I thought only their official distibutors like m&p and teletec give warranty.
[Galaxy S III General] don2012:
Yes it is
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
Ok. Good then.

And what abt official samsung distributors, do they sell at the same price?
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
Samsung official distribution is only through samsung concept shops where prices are slightly higher than wholesale shops.

sent from: The New S-Pen :)
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
So do we get samsung warranty or teletec/M&P etc. warranty if we buy from samsung concept shops?
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
There is nothing like " samsung warranty". M&p and teletec offers samsung warranty just like mobile zone offers nokia, s warranty.

[Galaxy S III General] don2012:
Well I have got a warrninty card official its samsung

And if any problems occur i have to go to samsung service center. For warrninty claim.

Check out this battery time :D
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
That really doesn't tell us anything. :p
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
Haha.. Y?

Isnt it good? Though i have not been using that phone much, thats y had a good battery time. First time i have seen my android phone having more than 3 days (with little charge in b/w) :P

Edit: just wanted to share it, obviously with average (or little above average) use u cant have such battery back up
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
You're actually supposed to show how long your phone can last WITHOUT charging. :)

This doesn't show us the screen-on time with a single charge and the usage of apps.
[Galaxy S III General] omer7:
Yeah thats right ;)

Software info

Hello,

I flashed Omega ROM latest and have signals and cannot connect to ufone. Can anyone who is still on stock please dial *#1234# and let me know the PDA and CSC code which works in pakistan? it would be of great help!
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Ap: Xxemd3

cp: Xxema5

csc: Ojvemc1
[Galaxy S III General] HassanM:
It seems like a Modem problem... By the way, which version of Omega did u flash????
[Galaxy S III General] omgbuffguy:
43.6 which is 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III General] omgbuffguy:
Okay so i just realized one thing. When i installed omega right now, and tried to change the csc using the app to my country, it reset my phone like it was supposed to, but did not change the csc. What does that mean? I dialed *#1234# and the csc remained the same. This is my original stock settings:

AP: I9300XXEMA2

CP: I9300XXELLA

CSC: I9300OJVEMA1

The current settings are:

AP: I9300XXEMF1

CP: I9300BVEMF1

CSC: I9300ONEEMF1

I used the csc changer app from the playstore. The changing the csc using the manual *#272*IMEI# does not work for some reason. I reinstalled the ROM and just to be sure even installed XXELLA and tried to change the CSC didnt work. Any help anyone?

[Galaxy S III General] Zack208:
I have upgraded my phone to the new official firmware (XXEMF6). I have been flashing custom roms on this device but now I want my phone purely stock.

I have flashed the new firmware through odin, I just want to know what is the correct CSC code for this new firmware (I9300XXEMF6). On my device dialing *#1234# its showing this information:

AP: I9300XXEMF6

CP: I9300XXEMA5

CSC: I9300OJVEMF1

Do I need to change the CSC or it is perfect (just in case If I will need to claim the warranty)?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:
Better way is to go to recovery (if its stock not custom). It will tell you your CSC. If phone was bought from official samsung Pakistan then csc should be PAK for warranty purpose.
[Galaxy S III General] Zack208:
Thanks for your reply, yes you are right.. when I bought this phone about 2 months ago .. it was showing the CSC and build number something included with the PAK region code .. but after changing the ROMS this CSC and build number changed..

I have tried the CSC changer app from the market but it is not changing the CSC to the PAK region.. It is showing this CSC instead I9300OJVEMF1

Now, can you please tell me how can I change my CSC to the PAK region?

Will it work fine with Ufone / Mobilink sims over here??

Does Anyone here use S3 i9305? How is the performance?

Yes, it will work perfectly. Many people are already using it. The performance is the same. That extra gig of RAM probably heels with multi-tasking.

Buying a phone this expensive is like buying a ticket to kidnapping and death in Pakistan. I was there last year and couldn't take out my sg2 in public in fear of getting mugged or stabbed.
