did you upgrade your plan to an LTE plan?

they have separate LTE plans for LTE phones... that's what i had to do when i got my S2 back in Nov..

and yes it does show LTE in the top instead of 4G

You can just ask for it, it was in their plan brochure, it is called: 6GB SP Messaging & MY10 plan. Call Rogers and ask for it.

you might want to wait untill rogers firmwre will hit kies :)

maybe you will speed things up contacting rogers with your problem

ofc do not sy that you flahed at&t firmware but maybe uggest that you cn not run emergency restore in kies

think about it - go figure it out

afaik there are no firmwares for bell/rogers/telus in kies atm - same delay hd us carriers with delivering fw to kies - ptience :)

and now bck to euro2012

I was the one who used the sprint method, however, it took me to a webpage and video where its confirmed to work on all AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile models. Technically, you're just flashing clockworkmod.tar into PDA section from Odin and then using CWM recovery to flash CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip so its really all the same! So it doesn't affect modem, kernel or anything else. But for safety sake, please just follow the AT&T instructions as I do not want to steer anyone in the wrong direction or cause problems with their precious new device. :)

1st post..been lurking for years. New to the LTE world..

Question - does Aokp have dev for this device yet (I747M)? Can someone please post a link to the AT&T section with active dev roms. TIA
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Flyarnk:
Can someone with Rogers S3 confirm that CNAM (Name caller ID) is working on 4G/3G network? and Name logs in call log after call ends?

Name Caller ID should be subscribed and shows "Name" even if number is NOT stored in your contacts.

Its already known that this doesn't work on LTE network.

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pngface:
Yeah I called them around 12 PM EST to change my plan
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Vaanhoot:
Name Caller ID is not working for me and I'm subscribed to it. Although Rogers Visual Voicmail is working great for me, so nice not to call in to get your voicemail.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] resetoriginal:
traded my iphone 4s for a S4 galaxy s3, unlocked it and now using on rogers:)

originally i was going to try and get the quad core version but, lte and 2gb of ram just won me over, especially in the long run, and after seeing how smooth jellybean made the gnex, i have zero interest in a quad core at the current time.

initial thoughts:

this phone is outstanding! it finally made android smooth enough for my taste, and it handles everything like a champ! GTA3 is infinitely better on the 4.8" screen. also the 720p display is just brilliant.

chrome browser is outstanding, and im very happy to have everything synced from my desktop browser, makes life easier. and LTE is always a nice treat to go along with it.

cant comment on battery life yet since i've only used it for 1 day but so far im very happy with it, im guessing within a week it will improve even more.

the only minor downside for me is the volume buttons are too easy to accidentally push sometimes but i guess that will change with time and adjustment.

volume on the loud speaker is pretty good, i wouldnt mind if it was a bit louder but nothing to really complain about. call quality so far has been top notch, and signal strength has been very good inside buildings.

so all in all i'm very happy with this device and i honestly doubt ill be going back to apple, this phone is just too awesome! for anyone else thinking about getting this device i highly recommend it!

only thing left now is to see what roms come out for the i747 model ^^
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr. Droid:
Did you pay extra for the visual voicemail?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wirelessgirl:
Darn. I hope the dev comes out with a fix. I wish there were more led notification apps for Android. BlackBerry has the best one, BeBuzz.

I got the kickstand case from the Bell store at Fairview Mall. No it's not a casemate. It's called Ideal - Case. Never heard of them. But the case is very nice.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Vaanhoot:
I am using it on a 4g network but not lte.

I already had a value pack, I had to change it but it was only $0.43 more and includes Rogers tv and 100 international text messages. It's $12.43 for the value pack and includes visual voicemail, caller display, name display, ringbacks and some other things.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hbk19:
I received a second SIM card, one for LTE. Rogers actually told me that my data plan was LTE-ready, but it seems that I can only get 4G connectivity. This is both prior to and post rooting my device.

Does anyone know of any solutions? Or is this something I have to contact Rogers for?

Edit: my APN is Rogers LTE, and the network mode is GSM/HSPA/LTE. I don't want to believe this is a hardware problem! Hopefully it's just a problem on Rogers side.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dbzgod:
Bell's LTE Micro SIM's are specifically needed to connect to their LTE network, and Also I belive the DC-HSPA connections as well which is what you default to when LTE coverage isn't in your area. (DC HSPA is dual HSPA bands running at the same time at 2 different frequencies to give you access to the HSPA 42Mbits Network) I bought my S3 out in full at a Bell store and they gave me the LTE Micro SIM for free.

Another thing to note too that applies to all carriers, is check Bell's network coverage map(Rogers or Telus if your with them), not a lot of places have LTE deployed yet so take a look at this before thinking that LTE isn't working too lol.

No LTE coverage yet here in Victoria BC :( , but the DC-HSPA connections as a fall back has been really awesome in the mean time :D.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] quazis:
You have to use the LTE Sim card and confirm that your data plan IS LTE, not LTE-ready.

LTE network isn't everywhere either.. I switch out from LTE to 4G, and occasionally see LTE with one or two bars in Mississauga.

LTE kills your battery too.. holy crap. Unplugged at 6:30am, didn't even use it, now it's 8am and I'm already at 80%. :o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bagbug:
Thank you.

They want 5$ for the new SIM card, weird. How do I know if Im on DC-HSPA instead of HSPA ?

Hi there, has anyone been successful in rooting the I747M without tripping the counter?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PeterGuru:

You MUST get an LTE SIM card. A non-LTE card will work, but you will never connect to the LTE network. This applies to all carriers with LTE.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] K-SHOX:
I've seen the speedtest results, but can someone tell me the real world improvement in speed using LTE? I'm pulling the trigger on gettin a quad core today (which I would prefer) or a Rogers one. I'm leaning a bit towards the Rogers variant since I have 6gb of LTE enabled data on my plan; however, I've not tried an LTE enabled device and the Rogers shop don't have one running that I can do a comparison on :s

PS. I'm in Calgary.

Thnx!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wond3r:
You have to ask. I GUARANTEE you would get a great plan. Theres no reason for them to give them out to people who dont know about them and don't ask for them.

call, say you want to cancel your plan. They will put you through to the Retentions department, they will ask why. Tell them what you just said, say your friends are getting much better plans on other companies and you think you should be getting a much better deal since you have been so loyal.

You cant receive what you don't ask for. Works for me and anyone i help out with what to say.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wirelessgirl:
It depends on how long you've been with Rogers. I'm a long time customer and have the option to suspend my wireless accounts. So there are benefits to long time customers even though it may seem like new customers gets better deals.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wond3r:
Hansonator, also even if you are on contract i think you can still get the advertised plans?

With certain advertised Telus plans you can just call and say you want the plan on the website but don't want to extend the contract. I assume bell too
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tietherope:
Wow, that would NEVER be allowed on Rogers. You would have to sign for another 3 years.

Expansys Canada raised their price by $10 again. I have no clue what they are thinking.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MaesterB:
I noticed that too.

I guess I'm now debating whether my pre-order is worthwhile. I really DON'T want to sign a new contract on a new phone this time around, at least until I've explored all my options. I guess I'll find out eventually.

Any idea as to when Expansys will be emailing people confirmations?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thegregulator:
I've received a few emails from an Expansys customer service rep and all she said was they were processing orders "last minute", despite me asking multiple times if they were expecting a delay with their Pebble Blue units. Finally, after getting the same response for the third time, despite it having NOTHING to do with my question, I gave up and ordered from Negri. I likely won't get the device any quicker, but at least I won't have to pay Expansys Canada a cent. This is on you, Jessica Rice!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MaesterB:
I ordered the White version...so I guess no news is good news? But I've emailed them once about something, with no response, which is kind of crappy.

EDIT: Why is Negri cheaper for the white I wonder?

EDIT #2: Nevermind. By the time you add all taxes in and everything, it's really NOT any cheaper, especially if you up the shipping ante and get it here quicker.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hansonator:
But you still can't get it mid contract. Though, telus does allow early upgrading, if you sign a new contract.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wond3r:
Like usual when dealing with these kind of situations.. It will depend on who you talk to on the phone. I've done it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hbk19:

Info is coming out like a waterfall today :)

Fascinating. Best Buy Canada has posted the Galaxy S III on their site with both the standard pre-order price of $50, plus various carrier 3-year term pricing. The 3-year prices currently ranges from $149.99 to $169.99. Rogers is priced at $149.99, while TELUS and Virgin are at $159.99, and SaskTel is on top with $169.99. Until the carriers come out with their official pricing this is still somewhat “unconfirmed.” In addition, we’re hearing that the no-term pricing is $649.99.

Both the Pebble Blue and Pearl White variations are listed and expected to be available on June 20th.

Hey guys,

So I've been looking into the SIM locks for the Canadian phones but oddly enough on my Bell 32GB blue the code *#7465625# doesn't work and no status tab to see any locks. Is this happening to others on Bell and how about people with Telus and Rogers phones does the code work to display or is it doing nothing as well?

So far my best guess is if this code is doing nothing then my phone is completely unlocked with none what so ever. This would be awesome but what do you guys think is going on?. That code is working on the AT&T phones so I dont think it has anything to do with the hardware.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cytherean:
You can download an app called HOMESWITCHER (FROYO) and then just for starters you can download GO LAUNCHER. The launcher is an overlay that will pretty much get rid of Touchwiz for you and HOMESWITCHER will allow you to switch back and forth between launchers... there are many launchers to choose from in the market (APEX, NOVA, GO, MiHome, Lightning Launcher, etc the list goes on and on). Start with these and play with the settings. Then you will need to do reading...lots of reading to make sure what you are getting into with rooting and flashing roms.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wirelessgirl:
I can tell you the LTE data is extremely fast! I did a web browser test on the

HSPA network and then I switched over to the LTE network to see how fast it is.

I went on CrackBerry.com..............(don't hate ;) ). On the HSPA network, it took 23 seconds to load the entire page. This is the desktop page. On the LTE network it took 13 seconds to load the entire page. I cleared the cache, history etc. before doing the test. It's almost twice as fast. I also did the same test on WiFi and it took 15 seconds to load. I have Rogers high speed internet. I'm testing it out at a busy time so the results will definitely vary. But this will give you an idea in terms of web browsing.

I highly recommend you get the Rogers one. When LTE first came out I didn't jump on it at first until the network was more stable. Now that it is more stable, I can't see myself switching my S3 to HSPA. LTE is blazing fast!

In terms of battery life, my phone was off the charger at 12 noon. I checked a few emails, made a couple of very short test calls, did the web browsing test by changing the network manually, checked for more emails, did a few speedtests, my battery is at 87% and it's 4:50pm now. This is 98% on the LTE network because I did switch over to HSPA and WiFi for the web browsing tests.

I hope this helps.

Anyone have any idea how I would go about unlocking my Rogers S3? I still have a year on my 3 year contract with Bell, but on launch day I was on Rogers' website, and I added a blue 16GB S3 to my cart, and instead of coming up to $730 after tax, it came up to $350! Must have been a screw up in the system or something, they fixed it now, but I got my order in at that price. Any ideas? Do those sites like cellunlocker.net work?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wirelessgirl:
I have dealt with cellunlock.net several times. They are extremely reliable and fast. There may be other unlock sites that are cheaper, but I don't know what their customer service is like. I can vouch for cellunlock.net

Hi, I just got my galaxy s3 yesterday through Telus.

Model number - sgh-i747m

Andriod verserion 4.04

I am having troubles connecting my device to my computer through samsung kies. When I plug it in, it gets frozen at the connecting screen, when I trouble shoot connnection error, it updates usb drivers and tells me I need to restart. I restart and it does the same thing.

Also when I try to run a n64 emulator, I get choppy framerates and sound.

I am wondering if anyone else is having similar issues and if they could tell me if the candian variant is only a duelcore processor, with 1.5 gb of RAM, cause i though the US version was 1.5 ghz duel core with 2.0 gb of RAM.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jsmasterx:
Bell LTE is better than Rogers. I do not want to put gas on fire but the coverage is better and the speed is much more stable on the Bell LTE network.

Also you can follow the AT&T tutorials without issues. My device is already rooted using their tutorials and i do not have any problems.

It is basicaly the SAME.

from what i have this is NOT true if you care about update counter, the generic root that is out for AT&T will work on Rogers but as it does for AT&T will increase your counter (which MIGHT void warranty) the one that does NOT increase this is AT&T specific only since it is using part of ther ROM, the Rogers and AT&T builds are NOT the same.
