hi fellow singaporeans! just did a swap from HTC one X to S3 and i must say the rooting and installing of roms is much easier! btw im currently on omega v26 JB rom XXDLI8 with Siyah v16b15. Didnt encounter any major/minor bugs so far since i changed 3 days ago. V smooth and snappy :good::good::good:

For those using the same rom and kernel combi, hows the battery life? on screen time and total time?

Did u guys disable fast dormancy? i heard our local telcos got fast dormancy activated but i still have quite a large wakelock for secril_fd.

Hello guys, a couple of questions to you owners :

- what is the model number of the Singapore version?

- is it quad core, 2gb of ram and lte, like the Korean 210s and 9305 versions?

- what is your stock rom quadrant benchmark score?

I have a 9300 international version but I am thinking of buying a 2gb ram with 800Mhz band lte capable?

Cheers

[Galaxy S III General] unholygid:
Yes
[Galaxy S III General] henrylhp:
Yes. it's the latest for Singapore.
[Galaxy S III General] fervorous:
For people who are wondering, i am using Starhub and it does support Fast dormancy toggle. Having better battery life after turning it on.
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
The I9300 that we owned does not support LTE. The LTE variant will only be available in Singapore come end of Sept. The specs are quad core processor with 2GB RAM. Its pricing will be the same as the pricing of our I9300 when it was first released. Regret? Yes I do have a tinge of regret, but as much as the hype about 4G goes, unless you are streaming videos or downloading some awesomely big files on the go, which eats battery and lots of data, 4G connectivity isn't going to be of much effect to you.

What you want vs What you need.

Hey, does anyone knows how how check ezlink card value using s3?? I had heard around of this function using NFC but I have no idea how to do it:/

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S III General] nnchoudhari:
Hi,

By default Fast Dormancy is on for S3. So what do you mean by "Having better battery life after turning it on."

You mean you disabled it ?

I am also using starhub and did not notice much impact on battery life by enabling or disabling it . So just curious..
[Galaxy S III General] solitudinal:
I understand that the international models of the SIII (those sold locally i.e. GT-I9300) are not affected by this.

I tried to post the URL to the test page but I can't since I have less than 10 posts. But if you go to android central and search for the USSD test you can test you phone out there.

I tried and it brought up my dialer but no IMEI number.

I'm rooted and using the Omega ROM v27 (soon to be v27.1 ;)) with Siyah Kernel 1.6RC3.
[Galaxy S III General] truewt:
Try farebot with nfc on.

Lol im on the same rom with siyah!
[Galaxy S III General] unholygid:
Any bros have chinese input keyboard apk or zip that works on the new jb roms?
[Galaxy S III General] SexyIceCream:
thanks for the tip! but how come farebot can only scan my student ez-link card and not the normal adult ez link...(even though under the supported cards section it shows the image of the adult card.) lol weird
[Galaxy S III General] amosljl1995:
Oh I'm on Siyah too. Ya how come can only scan student ezlinm card and not the adult ones?? Which app can chenk my cash card value?? Or is there such app??
[Galaxy S III General] dhkx:
Hi, I just bought the S3 LTE (GT-I9305) and I have a couple of questions.

1) Is there anyway to remove all the singtel/samsung applications?

2) Can I use the I9300 root methods and ROMs?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] IamIrene:
can I know you what the RRP for s3 lte ?

and you sign plan from singtel ?
[Galaxy S III General] Nas Eiesefpi:
Wow. Didn't knew about that app. Thanks. :thumbup:

So finally I'm using the NFC. lol.
[Galaxy S III General] Frostyeo:
Hmm do you guys mean the latest modem supports fast dormancy or does only starhub support fast dormancy, cuz I'm on m1~ any fellow m1 or starhub mates can help? T.T
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
No you can't use I9300 root methods on I9305 I think. Well you can try, since it is so easy to emergency restore using KIES should you brick the phone. The only way to remove the unnecessary apps is by rooting it and installing a custom rom, e.g. Omega if you like samsung JB rom, or other roms like CM10, if you prefer a google android experience.

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

holy **** my imei is brought up!
[Galaxy S III General] Nas Eiesefpi:
Does the emergency restore actually work with custom rom + root?
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Yes it does. KIES will not be able to detect your S3 when you are on custom rom, but you can just set your phone to Download mode and then connect it to your PC and do emergency restore of stock rom through KIES.
[Galaxy S III General] truewt:
Don't think cash cards' chip is nfc compatible?

Good luck, I think you have to go to the other section for 9305 help..
[Galaxy S III General] solitudinal:
:eek: Maybe it's cause you're on CM9.1? No idea though, just speculating since CM9.1 is based on ICS.
[Galaxy S III General] thaBuzzed:
There's another app called CEPAS Reader. I'm able to scan my flash pay ezlink card. It's a bit fiddly though and it reads the card after you hold it against the back cover a few times.

THREAD Renamed !!
[Galaxy S III General] ehartmannDroid:
I rooted my new S3 LTE from Starhub (titanium gray is sweeeeet) yesterday using this method. The only difficulty I encountered was that the Odin3 version 3.04 linked to in the OP fails to detect my phone (the box in the top left turns blue, not yellow). When I switched to Odin3 v1.85, the box turns yellow, I am able to chainfire root cwm recovery and then flash su. I am not sure what the the difference is between the two Odin versions. The USB drivers were brand new. The previous drivers which were working fine for my Galaxy Nexus and friends' Galaxy Note & regular SIII did not recognize the LTE SIII, so I obtained the latest drivers by installing Kies.

Aside from the Odin version, everything just followed the instructions and was a cinch.
[Galaxy S III General] joshua:
Did ur counter being raised or still at zero?
[Galaxy S III General] ehartmannDroid:
yup it does :( I have not tried to triangle away yet
[Galaxy S III General] kahjuay:

Just looked-- IMEI was not affected (About Device->Status->IMEI is not "null", still shows the original IMEI number)

Some info

Nets Flashpay is a CEPAS card.

EZLink is a CEPAS card

Nets Flashpay is not an Ezlink card

Cash card is not a NETs Flashpay card.
[Galaxy S III General] fribriz:
Strangely, Farebot detected the Nets Flashpay card as EZLINK :angel:
[Galaxy S III General] temasek:
A common misinformation even to a local sg.

Ezlink card is issued by Ezlink company whereas Nets Flashpay is issued by NETS. Both cards conformed to CEPAS standards.

upgrade fail

Just tried to upgrade to the LTE version. 20 mins later, I'm eventually told it's not available as an upgrade option. It's £19 on a £46 per month 18 month contract

http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/pay-monthly/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-lte-marble-white/mobile-tariffs/
[Galaxy S III General] p4t4h:
I actually have submitted bug fixes/pull requests for farebot to Eric's github more than a month back. including to correctly identifying NETS Flashpay, faster card reading and a couple of other things. But looks like currently farebot git has low activities .. maybe Eric is putting more time on his IRC app these days.

Adult Ezlink card can't be read by S3 and as far as I know this is not farebot's fault but rather S3's NFC hardware related.CEPAS uses NFC-B standard which requires reader with more power/larger antenna in general.

I know Galaxy Nexus can read ezlink card just fine.

If you guys use Kopitiam or Bagus card you can use my Kopitiam Balance app to check the card's balance (and total amount spent on the card).
[Galaxy S III General] fribriz:
:good: OK, many thanks for sending bugfix request to Eric. Let's hope there is some response - can't force him to fix it quick since this is a free and great app already.

I'll test reading Ezlink cards on a Galaxy Nexus tonight.
[Galaxy S III General] p4t4h:
Well if you're actually interested in getting the bug fixes, you can download my own Farebot build here

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46271677/FareBot.apk

You'll need to uninstall the existing Farebot app first before installing this one though.

Changes include

* Correctly identify/display NETS Flashpay cards as NETS

* Faster card reading

* Display last 30 transactions (instead of only 15 in current Farebot)

* And a couple other minor fixes (like displaying Harbourfront station correctly instead of the code which happens sometimes, etc..)

if u can have high speed on the move y not? unless u taking abt not having wifi at home and work and u only need mobile internet den yes it defeats the purpose. for me when im home phone will be useless it will only for phone call use, internet i do every thing on my pc which i connect to HD tv set to enjoy full multi media, phone on the move mostly is to check fb, twtiter, google+ watch few youtube video, post some interesting pic i dun see how it will exceed 2GB lei.

[Galaxy S III General] ryanswj:
Yes. It might not be apparent on the S3 because it is already a very fast device, but use a Galaxy Nexus with ICS and then with JB and you will see the difference.
