[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] asaqwert:
so what about using tmo roms or kernels on wind phones? some people are saying that i can do it, others are saying no... what's the deal? i'm understanding now that there ARE roms made for Wind specifically, but i do also know that on many other devices, tmo and wind are interchangable... is that the case here?

thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] David Dee:
Sometimes this can be Rom specific. As a general rule, always read the OP (opening post), search the thread (also check if there is anyone from your carrier posting, ask them), and if you still don't have an answer, post the question in the thread.

Anyone signed up contract with the 6GB 60$ promo plan on virgin mobile?

I am tempted, they are offering me Free CID and Voicemail with 300 anytime minutes, Unlimited Incoming, 6GB LTE data, Unlimited Evenings 5 pm and Weekends if i sign into a 3yr contract? I am still thinking though?

Is it a good deal ppl? i am paying now virgin mobile 35+ tax for a talk and text plan that has no data.

The only thing i am worried with the 6GB plan is 300 anytime minutes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] x-cimo:
We have 2 Galaxy S3 (Telus), my gf's phone often drop service completly during the day (no data, no phone, nothing)..

Will try the HSPA only tweak.. but this is really annoying for a LTE phone..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cytherean:
If you will be using data, this is the time to jump on board, 6GB is a nice little chunk of data. If you are concerned about the 300 anytime minutes remember that there are many apps like viber (http://www.viber.com/), what's app etc., that let you make free calls/text to other members and it uses your data plan and not your minutes. Also I'm not sure about Virgin, but most of the other carriers's offer a "my 10" which is unlimited talk and text to 10 other numbers.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tarick09:
Bought the S3 today on 3yr contract term with Virgin Mobile, cant wait anymore. The phone is awesome, LTE is fast but its draining battery like crazy. How much batter hours are you getting for day of moderate use.

The Plan i Got includes - 60+tax

300 Anytime Minutes

Unlimited Incoming

Unlimited Evening and Weekends from 5 PM

Unlimited Local and Intl. Text

6GB LTE Data

CID and Voicemail

And i am looking for a 64GB SDcard as well, the futureshop seems to have class 10 for 79$, http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...-10-memory-card-sdsdu-064g-u46s/10198900.aspx

Is there any other option
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] w98seeng:
That card is an SD card, not a micro SD card, which you need for your phone.

Here is an eBay seller selling a 64GB SDXC card for $16.99 with free shipping.

Seems too cheap, but they have 543 feedback score with 99.6% Positive feedback.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cytherean:
Glad to hear it. The battery will normally settle after a few full charge/discharge cycles. Keep in mind if you have everything running, like sync, full brightness, wifi/bluetooth and all that fun stuff on, it will chew up some battery. I suggest giving it a few days to settle in and if you are still concerned then you can grab a free version of BetteryBatterStats in the XDA forums and that can help you identify what apps may be chewing up the battery...I've also come across an app called "carat" that seems to be pretty helpful as well.

64GB is huge!!! I've got a 16GB and have a TON of stuff on it , but if you feel you need more than that you may want to find yourself a 32GB to start with. Anyway, enjoy your new phone and data plan!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tarick09:
Thanks. Have played some Dead Trigger and viewed some youtube videos, the battery seems better, anyway just like you said, i hope it gets better after two or three discharge cycles.

BTW, the AMOLED is awesome, the blacks are truly black, i like the colors and its better than HTC One X.

Hope you enjoy your S III as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cytherean:
It's a big screen, so the more that it is on, the more it chews up.

Korean S3

I have now a korean s3 (SK telecom) quad core 16gb SHW-M440S and i would like to use it in canada.

i have a wind plan for my nokia c7 and want to continue using that plan ($25) onto the new s3

but i've checked a wind mobile near my college n they told me to come here and look for rooting and roms to change the frequency so i can access winds network.

So far mobilicity told me that the s3 can only get signal from rogers, bell, tellus (or so he says) so if i can get on Wind and if there is a program help would be appreciated.

Got the phone a week ago from videotron and there is a damn notification always in the status bar that i can take away when i scroll down the notification is a "sim card" icon and it says "zone"...

Sorry for off topic didnt want to open a new thread and clutter up :/ also if i want to flash some custom roms which section i use ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rener78:
Well the icon in the upper left corner is just there to tell you that you are in your LCA or Local Call Area, so it dissappear it means that you'll are outside your area. Guessing that you might have the rate plan Zone illimité (or may not) but it's for that. Impossible to remove with stock rooted or not rooted. Need to have custom roms... Even on custom roms it could still be there.

As for the forum you have to root, flash rom and getting usb drivers follow this

Help guys!! I can't for the life of me find a Galaxy S3 T999V anywhere :'(.

So I've been debating on switching over to the S3, but I have grandfathered T-Zones. So in order to take full advantage of the AWS data speeds without getting the upsell message, I need to get the Wind Mobile T999V (Canadian model). I've searched high and low, no luck. Checked eBay... nada. Checked Google, even checked wind mobile's website...they don't ship to the USA. I'm soo sad. I've been wanting to jump on the S3 party for a while. If anyone knows where I can get the t999V, I will love you forever! Please help.

Finally got my Blue S3 yesterday through Sasktel...For anyone that has a upgrade coming up soon...the 16 gb s3 is being offered at $0.00 on a 3 year contract....I went in and got mine completly free yesterday. LOVING IT. The 2 gb of ram is great. Everything is running great and i dont have any complaints. I was going to root it to get rid of the unwanted bloatware but at this point its running so good i dont even see the need to do so....I loved my S2....but i loved it more once it was rooted.... but honestly with 16gb of onboard space and my 4gb memory card on top of that, im finding it hard to fill up anything....I have all my usual apps installed and i still have almost a full gig of ram free at all times...this is a really great device...I was wanting the 32gb but settled with this 16 so i could get it for free...

Nevermind in the firmware thread i do not see the jb leak available to flash whit odin only recovery and i think mobile odin but doubt it...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It'll flash in mobile odin. But if you've got the T999V then it may not work unless you've got Videotron. Cwm or mobile odin may bypass that check but I'm not sure. Even if they do, it may not patch correctly. I had asked a while back, but if someone was willing to update with it and do a system pull for me, I can build a rom off of it that you all could use.

Anyway you do it though, expect bugs.

Sorry, got thrown off before by your sig saying just T999.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Thanks for helping me out yeah i do have a t999v whit videotron i tried to flash whiy cwm once but i needed to have everything else stock i had a few mods..

Would the prerooted firmware work whit the t999v ? I really want to try jb just dont want to brick my phone :)

Nevermind i found it but it says its ics updated not jb ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
the root66 LH(august)2 is ics 4.0.4 and will put you back to latest videotron stock, with root already injected

you will need that to be able to use ota or kies to get the official jb update, hopefully in the next week or two
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Alright so i guess i flash the latest stock ics then wait for update via ota and re root after ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
yup

after being on jb roms, I find ics painfully slow and limited

if there's is no date announced by this weekend, I'll prolly get back onto a jb rom for the interim

Anyone else on Rogers unable to tether LTE? I've searched for a solution for a long time, including changing my APN settings and trying a third party app, but haven't had any luck. My tablet connects to my phone, but the data doesn't work.

Tethering only seems to work when LTE is turned off.

I've confirmed with Rogers that I should be able to tether LTE, so nothing wrong on that end.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
are you on stock or custom rom?

we have native android tethering on stock Canadian baseband

it works simply by turning it on

if you use a custom rom, it is usually based on American carrier which disables/restricts tethering.. and you would have to use on of their workarounds to tether
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hbk19:
I'm running AOKP, which should allow for tethering to work. I'm not sure if there are any workarounds for AOSP ROMs, since those aren't region specific (I think).

Regardless, if it was a ROM problem, then tethering shouldn't work at all. I can still tether on 3G/H+, so I'm unsure if it's a problem with the ROM.

I don't know, I was a die hard aosp guy until I got this phone. I never thought I would hear myself saying this, but I find the ui on touchwiz works so well, and is super buttery.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kruse1944:
Well that is false, the canadian version for Videotron Carrier is the SGH-T999V, T-Mobile is SGH-T999. The V is for Videotron. The 2 phones are the same thing so each other. So T999V user can flash T999 ROM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rener78:
I think that it's the other way around. The International version has a smaller community. Our phone is compatible with d2tmo, d2att, d2vzw, d2spr, CM10.1, MIUI even have Ubuntu roms can't really how bigger it could get really.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Malumen:
Hey guys!

Just bought the T999V and loaded CM10 on it. Everything is great, except the camera won't connect.

THE FIX: I have narrowed it down to some files that exist in the rooted system/cameradata/ in the STOCK OS (Samsung's TouchWiz). The CM10 ones are broken, and if I load the files in the stock cameradata folder then change the permissions.

May I ask that someone upload the Stock /cameradata/ files somewhere for me please? (You'll need to be rooted I think)

NEVERMIND! Solved it! I hope...

Hi

Which Rom is the most successful ROM for T999v?

I have JB 4.1.1 and haven't rooted my phone yet. I bought a new Samsung S3 few weeks back and want to try some new ROMs. Due to my lack of experience I am skeptical to try ROMs without assistance.

I have seen users discussing about JB 4.1.1 on this thread.

Does anyone want to discuss about PAC ROM successfully installed on T999v. or any other ROM you think works best?

Okay, that 2GB Ram upgrade sweets the Snapdragon Sourness enough for me. For now. (I've been limping along with my v3 Razr <lol> ever since I skipped the non-Exynos GSII, so I really can't wait any longer.)

Haaha... It just hit me. Model number SGH-i747. "747". Good for some chuckles. ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hbk19:
Way ahead of you.

Anyone know any pricing information? It's funny that I've pre-ordered the phone, but have no idea about the official release date and pricing from Rogers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Konfuddle:
Considering that both variants use the same Qualcomm S4 chipset, only the SGH-iT999 has the LTE portion of the baseband disabled, it is likely that the baseband from the SGH-i747 could enable LTE. But depending on what antenna band on the SGH-iT999 supports, enabling the LTE portion of the baseband would be useless if the Wind/Mobilicity/Videotron version doesn't support the LTE frequencies.

Hope this helps.
