I'll try that out too, thanks (:

My modem was DXLH1, which I just recently found out was a 4.0.4 modem. I'm on CM10. Maybe this new modem would help with battery life ~

Thinking about getting one too but since it uses exynos also then i cant run cyanogenmod properly since samsung hasnt released their documentation on their hardware :(
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
I was using CM9.1 stable for around 6 weeks I think, and after that I got bored of it. Restored back to stock rom and I am enjoying features such as Smart Stay and direct call motions now. Perhaps we should appreciate stock rom more. Having experienced both stock and custom rom, I got to say I do not experience any unnecessary loss of battery life when I am on stock rom though.
[Galaxy S III General] lensfuuma:
Actually before i never really cared much for the samsung features. Except for their camera :D but the gallery from android is much much better. I am now using ARHD 13, much better battery life for me than in cm9.1

Thats what is most important for me now :D

Hey guys, how is the 4G/LTE reception here in Singapore? anybody using 4G phones can comment please.
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Price? :D
[Galaxy S III General] lensfuuma:
My colleague says the coverage still limited and speed is almost the same as the normal 3g/h+ connection
[Galaxy S III General] vs_infinity:
4G LTE is not as good as you think here in singapore, the speed varies depend on where you are, as you compare to 3G sometimes the 4G speed is only on par with the 3G, i would said faster but not by a big difference in speed, just my opinion maybe others have different view :D
[Galaxy S III General] lensfuuma:
What im interested in is the nfc sim card :) just using you phone instead of an actual card :p the bad part is i have to pay singtel S$21 for that
[Galaxy S III General] Silentchild:
There is, currently i believe there's 2 type of S3, normal and lte. the original s3 are called the international version I9300 and I9305(lte) respectively. For america they are different because their phones are locked to their respective telcos hence AT&T or verizon etc. and for some other reasons like specs wise.

MHL ADAPTER - How to use on my TV ???

Hi guys,

I have purchased this mhl adapter from ebay:

http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/11097079...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2433wt_922

But not able to understand which hdmi cable I need to use with my TV? I have Xperia Arc hdmi cable with me..
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Look at the HDMI socket on the adapter, is it of the same size as the one on TV? If yes, just use a normal HDMI cable. If it is a smaller one, you will need a mini HDMI to HDMI cable.

Hi can anyone tell me the performance difference between the S3 9300 and S3 9305 lte since lte version has 2gb ram compared to non lte 1gb ram. Thx
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Difference is like what you said, I9305 can connect to the new 4G network, I9300 can't. 2GB RAM allows you to better multitask, and decrease chances of lagging.

hello bros,

bought my SGS3 2 days ago. after charging for 6 hours, i realized there was a dead blue pixel (or something like that). had to go back to singtel shop at parkway. waited another hour an a half. damn sian. but now i'm happy!
[Galaxy S III General] eletro:
No leh.. Singapore seems to like 16gb alot .. then ppl defend their purchase by saying who needs more then 16gb .. got sdcard! blah blah

SNote : got 16/32

SGS2 : got 16/32

Tab7.7 : got 16/32/64

All only 16gb comes here.:mad:

Storage is my only reason for upgrading.. no point for me getting a new phone that have the same storage as before..
[Galaxy S III General] Ttblondey:
I just think that it is expandable unlike IPhone that's why they don't bring it in together unless there is a demand. I'm using HD7 and am planning to get SGS3 by the end of year. Just trying Android.
[Galaxy S III General] the_slasher:
did you guys manage to register in www.samsungdive.com ? (find my phone) i tried adding, removing and adding again the samsung account (even do a factory reset) but the website always tells me to register my mobile. or is it not available for SG users?

update:

after reading the post of others decided to remove and add again the samsung account (for the nth time) and finally it worked :))

maybe because i finally registered the phone warranty online? hhhmm.. thanks for the inputs :)

I'm quite impressed with the Batt.

Previously I had the SGS1.

Needless to say i had to bring my USB cable to work as standby if I wanna use 3G.

Now, I leave home with a full charge, 3G on, play games on the way to work & reach home about 8pm with still about 20% juice left.

Biggest gain for me is that I can leave my 3G switched on without worry now. :D

hi guys i was wondering what kind of speeds are you getting on your S3s in Singapore? i find my browsing is usually crappily slow and speedtest.net gives me at most 1mb down.

anyone fares any better?

im using the xxelj2 modem with appropriate RIL
[Galaxy S III General] thaBuzzed:
Very inconsistent speeds. Especially crowded areas. If you are on the train you can completely forget about getting any 3g. Inside my office building though speeds are ok and pages load almost as fast as on adsl. This is on singtel btw.

I also read a tip somewhere about cycling airplane mode on and off to get the phone to register with the nearest cell tower. Works for me sometimes after being in transit.
[Galaxy S III General] lensfuuma:
Yeah most of the time it depends on your location. But this week my colleague called up singtel with regards to his network speed. He was getting consistent speed of less than 300kbps in our area. While mine was getting at an average of 1.5mbps (we are at the same location). Then the singtel rep said she would do "provisioning" then he had to turn off his mobile for 10minutes . after that he was getting consistent 2.5mbps :D (but still depends on the location i think)
[Galaxy S III General] christo4:
wow provisioning. that sounds really iffy. though im quite annoyed with the 3g speeds in our country, i hear that its far better overseas :/
[Galaxy S III General] lensfuuma:
Thats why im asking my colleague to try to test his speed in another location whether he would still be getting the same speed. The 300kbps speed he had before was the same wherever he went to.
[Galaxy S III General] lensfuuma:
Update:

My colleague who was provisioned by the singtel rep, it only worked in our area. They can limit your network speed :(
[Galaxy S III General] christo4:
wow does this mean they cap all our speeds in sg?

I just flashed i9300DXDLI5 modem on Omega v33.3 ROM and I checked my RIL using GetRIL but doesn't seem to have the RIL for the modem/baseband version.

Anyone has any idea/info on where to get the appropriate RIL for i9300DXDLI5, would appreciate it very much.

Note: I tried searching in a lot of places but couldn't find any infos regarding it :(

Edit: Or is there any recommendation for a good modem that I can use in Singapore with a matching RIL?
[Galaxy S III General] inscythe:
Actually, the RIL is matched based on your CSC. The hardware is the same across the international units, apart from the 4G revision.

If you bought your phone in Singapore, it is likely that the OLB (Southeast Asia), which will be paired with the DXDL** modem. If your CSC is different, getRIL will give you mismatch. Omega ROM is based on the ROM from other countries (I think the latest one is from India, which has a CSC of ODD).

Just use DXDLI5... It should be fine. In fact, the European modem is also working fine (XXDL**)
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Any of you guys on stock rom encounter this problem whereby sometimes after you leave house, you off wifi, and your mobile data is immediately connected to umts network, however it is just stucked there.

If Samsung knows about this issue, why aren't they pushing the update to reach all countries faster?
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Sorry to hear that man. The update is already out in some countries. Well many reasons that cause the delay in SG release, due to different modems used and stuffs. They are probably still testing stuffs. With the next update, 4.1.2, we will enjoy Note II's features.

Btw if anyone wants a quickfix for the sudden death issue, can try Siyah kernel. I think the kernel fixes the issue, as mentioned on the website itself.
