XLLA modem is disaster for me. Globe signal is very strong in my location I usually get 7mbps in my 4G device.

Bet and won in a local jueteng. My winning number was 7-11 because i dreamed that i was eating inside 7-11 store :angel:

Any recommended modem working very well with Globe? :good:

broken usb ports (charging/sync issues)can be soldered. "fixable" you just need to look for a good technician to do it or else it'll break your ports. and will have to replace it. go to greenhills, there's a few there who can do the job. hard to find tho' :D

as for the Sudden Death issue, make sure you're using one of the lastes stock kernels or custom ones to avoid it. but I doubt there's still a chance it might occur in a low rate :)
[Galaxy S III General] blyx21:
Its much more better to Install modem+ril the link I gave has ril+modem included.
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
The link that you gave is definitely better, that is also the thread where I download the modems that I wanna try. The thing is, some people in PH thread prefer to use stock recovery so I posted an alternative link where they can get modems that are flashable thru odin. The one with RIL do only offer cwm flashable modems, so that's why. Anyway, good point buddy. :) :thumbup:

Hi fellow pinoys marhaba!

I am in Abu Dhabi as for the moment, I have the titanium gray and just flashed 4.1.2 PDA I9300XXELLC+CSC I9300OLBEMA1 (XTC), would you believe that I have only swapped this phone from my ERPATS? Coming from a Galaxy Nexus, man this phone is worth the hype really, mas techie pa Dad ko but have managed to arbor from him last december. I was also in awe when I went for vacay (since three years haven't got home BTW), very impressed at globe's P5/15mins rate, speedtest was at 6-7mbps @ 7PM?! wow, I was surprised, back then internet connection and phone signals were quite weak in northern mindanao area..dammnn there were a lot of changes in PI not to mention that SM Megamall robberry, oh my. Mabuhay all!!

PS. Who is still using this ipTrix (opera mini modded, UC web browser, etc)?

is it still working over there in PI? Was enjoying iy back then when I was still in Pi around 2007-2009.

Like in one pinoy tech site forums saying; "@ TS pa TUT naman" if you guys don't mind.

Oh forgot to edit my sig, it still bears "galaxy nexus"
[Galaxy S III General] MIKE PH:
Hello guys! Just dropping by.. just an important question hope some one could help out. I'm currently using omega v38, will this version protect my s3 from SDS? Tnx a lot in advance.:)
[Galaxy S III General] NadMaj:
depends on what kernel you are using...
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Yes and no. Yes because omega comes with the stock kernel that is said to have the fix, but you can also use custom kernels with fix. No because you don't have the appropriate recovery with the fix, unless you already flashed philz recovery.

Dude, get a job then if you want to have these kind of premium devices. Not all people here are rich, most bought their own somewhere overseas and it's cheaper outside of the Phils.

as for me, I'm still waiting for my pebble blue S3.

about SDS, is there an official Jellybean update already in Kuwait or somewhere in the Middle East? cause mine will be coming from the Middle East. Can it be updated officially OTA even if the handset is in the Phils? (cause it's using a ROM for the Middle East users)
[Galaxy S III General] MIKE PH:

Not so sure about that but maybe you can update thru kies when you are using a complete stock rom+rooted+triangle away. CSC is like hardware embedded pre in my opinion kasi I have flashed a 4.1.2 rom for UK but in kies, my original CSC is still shown which is XTC (sun cellular Philippines) hence I have flashed the proper 4.1.2 rom for XTC Philippines via odin (FW downloaded from sammobile.com btw)

BTW I am in the middle east too
[Galaxy S III General] thehavoc:
Nothing's wrong of wanting such an expensive device, you remind me of my younger brother. He also wants an S3 cause my Dad already bought one for me as a Graduation gift and I'm just waiting for it, but the thing is he is just a High School student and he cannot really use the full potential and features of that phone, one more thing to consider is that he is still young, and the fact that you're still young too makes it not very suitable for kids to own. TAKAW mata sa mga bata yung may mga gadget na mamahalin.

Do well in school and prove to your parents that you deserve an S3 :)

But to be honest, Kids your age should just be staying simple. I don't mean to preach or nag but I really think kids nowadays shouldn't own such lavish devices as not to spoil them.

When I was your age, I wanted all the latest and "hip" gadgets available because my friends had them. My parents didn't buy me one, of course.. what I did was I joined this soccer team that was to compete locally. We won a decent amount of cash, split it, and I saved my share. This went on until I graduated in highschool. I tried my best in class and I was able to get in the honor roll in class. I proved to my parents that I'm a responsible and trustworthy daughter... and so they bought me my first Galaxy device when I got to college. We split the price ;) my friends who used to have "hip" and trending devices are now spoiled and annoying. I'm just happy I didn't turn out like them xD

That would be me. LOL. Anyway, an update on my device. I successfully unrooted my device and return it to stock. Sadly, the freezing issue was still there. I brought it to their service center at Megamall to have it fixed. It annoyed me though that they simply "upgraded" the software and claimed it was okay. I just couldn't tell them that I did that as well and it didnt solve the issue. I asked if they could outright replace the defective eMMC chip. They said it was not possible until they see a reason to do so.

So yeah, I left my phone with them as they will need to observe it first. A side note though, I saw a woman come in with her S3 and so it seemed it was SDS as well.
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Yeah it's you! Haha. Woah, your phone will still be under observation? For sure that would take some time. Haven't they done some research that sds is widespread for s3 handsets? Their said observation will eventually lead to, "we'll just wait this phone to die before replacing its mobo" which sucks on your part. Hope to hear more updates from you soon. :thumbup:

Your phone has a firmware for portugal and it does not have an update for 4.1.2 yet. You may want to flash PH firmware if you like, get it from sammobile then flash it thru odin.

My phone suddenly turn off and it takes 2 mins before I can turn it on. This already happened twice.. Is this the symptoms of sudden death?
[Galaxy S III General] randolph2000:
My experiences after upgrading to JB 4.1.2 stock

All I could say is that this one really last longer on a single charge than the 4.1.1

Problem is.. I usually get "Not Connected" or "No Connection" on my carrier/signal. I havent had this experience in 4.1.1, but i did have this experience in 4.0.4

Solution:

I have to swich on/off the flight mode, or reset the phone to have signal.

Do you guys have this problem too?
[Galaxy S III General] blyx21:
Try to change modem. Revert back 3 pages this was been discussed already.
[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
Okay, I called up the service center to follow up on my phone. They really insisted that it is okay already just by "reprogramming" it. I just didnt like the way they talked to me like I'm some ignorant guy. They indirectly accused me that it may be my fault. Something along the lines of me downloading something and causing the phone to freeze.

They wouldnt listen to me saying that I wouldn't have my peace of mind if they don't do anything to it aside from flashing firmware. The thought of having a phone that may die or malfunction anytime is pretty unsettling to me. They just don't care. Well I just really hope that it won't die on me as soon as i get it.
[Galaxy S III General] cassezek:
Thank you for the quick reply

If ever i flash it with the ph firmware do i still have yo changr region with csc?

Does flashing a different firmware voids your warranty?
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
No, as long as you stay on stock and not rooted. Regarding on your previous question, you don't have to change csc region anymore.

[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Wait, why are you going to change your csc in the first place? The ph firmware comes with its own csc which is OLBEMA1.

@mhoysmerize, you have a very good deep sleep of 96%. No apps are draining your battery.
[Galaxy S III General] cassezek:
To match it with the ph firmware.. Sorry im a little confused. Cause you have different types of csc codes for philippines, like SMA, GLB, XTE, XTC.

BTW, my phone is unbranded if im not mistaken.

One more question, im using globe network, is it advisable to use phi firmware (globe) to get better network? (correct modem = drains less battery [am i right with this?]) sorry im a noob. too many questions.
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Don't get confused with those country codes. Anyway GLB, SMA and XTC are your only options for now if you want 4.1.2. XTE(the unbranded one) doesn't have an update yet. By the way, those 3 have the same modems used so you don't have to worry about network reception.

Not that I'm hoping it would succumb to the SDS mania but I'd rather have my fon die on me while it's still in warranty so it can b replaced without any questions-- and maybe get lucky and get a mobo replacement with 32Gs :D
[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
So I got my phone back from the service center. And nothing was solved from their insistence that the problem was software. I was in a cab on my way home when the phone started freezing again. What a waste of time, effort and money.
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Horrible customer support. Jeez! You should've stayed and wait till your phone freezes and slap it on their face. Then ask "is this the software problem that you are insisting?". I'd be totally pissed if I were you, what a waste.

If they don't want to replace it, just flash an unsafe rom(the old ones) then let it die. Just go and use a temporary phone for a while. It's still your call, gooluck with that.

Sent from my GT-I9300 with Omega v40 + Yank555.lu v3.1f
[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
Well I really wanted to stay and wait a while but they had a lot more customers waiting to claim their devices and I was in a bit of a hurry since I had other errands to do. When I got home, I called them back complained. I was mad and it was really hard for me not to swear and call them names. When they call me back for feedback, they would get the lowest rating this time.

Well I would like to do that, but I might have even more problems. I read somewhere that some dude who experienced SDS couldnt flash back stock. It was like his phone won't boot into Android, just stock at the loading screen. I think I'd just leave the phone as is for now. I swear if they refuse to fix the hardware I'd really be super pissed.
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
It's good that you kept your composure. Why don't you just turnover the phone a little longer, let them experience the freezing first hand. Anyway I need to go and prepare my files for tomorrows work, keep us updated. Heads up!

Sent from my GT-I9300 with Omega v40 + Yank555.lu v3.1f
[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
The thing is I really think that they did not observe or check the phone. What I think they did was simply reflashed the stock firmware and booted the phone. I really doubt if they tested or played around with it. I just hope by the time I bring it to them it freezes while they test it. That's all I need to convince them. I'll keep you guys posted. :)
[Galaxy S III General] d3adp3ople:

[Galaxy S III General] NadMaj:
it's not advisable to use other phone's/brand's charger.... i suggest you buy a genuine one.. and most class A cords won't connect your device to your pc....

Of course you can mate, mobile internet here is cheap. P50 unlimited per day on globe (not really unlimited though because of their fair usage policy).

With Globe the cap only applies on prepaid, postpaid globe accounts have no cap. With smart 1gb with prepaid 1.5gb on postpaid.
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
If I remember it correctly, 800mb is the cap on globe. I don't usually reach the cap because I switch to wifi when I am at home and in the office so i don't have an idea about those extra charges. It is still your call which provider that you are going to choose since you are looking for prepaid ones. I would say try both to compare which has faster connection in your location. :thumbup:
