Hi guys,

Using Omega v23, found it very good so far. Only bug I seem to have and have had with every JB leak is if I restore my SMS/MMS all the message threads seem to get split. What I mean is if I have messages from one person when originally backed up, after restoring I will still have all the messages except in most of them each reply from me gets restored as a separate thread. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] ghampton10:
Havent had that happen on any of the latest omega roms. im using titanium for backups.
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:
Nope never had it weird hey I remember seeing that someone had that bug but it was because they were using aosp message instead off stock

I must say.. for years I have been putting up with calls dropping in and out cos my office is in a dead spot.. btw I am with Optus.. every time I got a phone call I would run outside and do a ballet dance trying to get the phone in the right place so that the call would not drop.out ...

Well since flashing XXDLI5 I can just sit at my desk and answer calls no dropouts and no ballet dance .. What ever Samsung did .. Thank you :thumbup:

Sick and tired of Ballet @ work :D
[Galaxy S III General] samorgs:
I have had it with every JB Leak, does not seem to matter what I use to restore the messages I have used titanium backup, messages, sms backup & restore plus a couple of others and it happens with every one also tried clean install before each restore and still happens

It's only a minor problem so I will delete all message threads and start with nothing and see what happens
[Galaxy S III General] NewAussiefromCanada:
I will second that! Reception all around seems to have improved. From a constant 1 bar in my house (thanks optus) to 3 bars now!

Here is to no more ballets for anyone lol

Using Latest Vodafone Firmware some unusual battery stats

Hi Guys,

I am using at the moment DULH1 Vodafone,

I am experiencing some funny battery problems firstly I used my phone about two days ago from full charge to %5 took like 36 hours making some calls 3G was on but nothing running major and then run another full charge doing same sort of staff but this time after full charge I did a reboot on phone and did a small full charge now I am on %19 and now it shows 2 days 18 hours.

What is going on here? Is the Samsung's modified Android some sort of battery xml counting problems maybe because my brothers Google Nexus last for 3 days with full charge some phone calls and little bit of Web browsing as well.

Why are the Samsung Android Phones always suffer this problem?

Is this common?

I got my galaxy s3 from telstra and thinking about rooting as well even though speed of the data with telstra is very fast. I have been read lots of information from this australian galaxy s3 thread but still confusing about rooting the phone as it is 19300T and not international 19300.

Will this tool kit help me with rooting the telstra locked s3?

Please I would be very apprecited if you could help me with rooting

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Use the galaxy s3 toolkit sticky general section :)
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Doesn't the CF Root work for Telstra phones?
[Galaxy S III General] L335K1:
alright, ill let u know what i did which has worked great for me... i DL and installed this [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V5.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, CWM, BusyBox + MORE [GSM] , this is an awesome tool, does much more than root. i then went to rooting options and selected 2 (2. Flash Insecure Boot Image, Root + Install Busybox), the reason i did this was that when i installed CWM Touch (clockwordmod v6 touch), it was having issues with flashing from ext sd card. after that i went back to menu then selected option 5 and followed the instructions to flash CF-CWM v1.5 - recovery-cf-cwm-i9300-1.5-gsm.tar . after this i downloaded omega rom (now version 13.1 ICS or v23 JB) and flashed both modem and firmware to XXDLI5. first thing after reading the main difference between i9300and i9300T was the modem, something about favouring specific bands blah blah, i didnt worry about it, ran a speed test and all is ok. i read somewhere at the start of my S3 adventures, have forgotten now exactly where, that there is minimal to no difference and flashing roms for i9300 'shouldnt' give u any issues. i myself have never had any issues. good luck

PS ive attached a screenshot, this is 11pm in adelaide, i always get H+ (3.5G) and always get good speeds even in the suburbs.
[Galaxy S III General] L335K1:
also are u sure that u are locked? mine is from telstra and came unlocked. use this tool to see if u are locked. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/86800424/VoodooGalaxySIIISimUnlock.apk - note the voodoo sim unlock tool was removed from google play, so keep a copy of it. when i ran this, it said my phone was already unlocked. check urs too. standard disclaimer im not responsible if u break ur fone ra ra ra

Optus is slowly rolling out 4g in Australia who will be getting the 4g
[Galaxy S III General] oswade:
^ I'm thinking about it. Depends on three factors.

1) Whether MVNO's get 4G access (liveconnected especially)

2) The price. I think we're looking at $200-$400 difference to imported stock (Currently hovering a bit above $500 vs supposed $899 for 4G).

3) Rom updates/leaks (including custom roms...)

The price is the biggest factor to me. Even if I can't use 4G, the 2gb ram is nice.

If the i9305 international model turns out to be the same, then we might be able to import cheaper, but it's not coming out till october in germany supposedly...
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:
Nah stick with my gs3 I got now no need for 4g or even 2gb ram
[Galaxy S III General] lisim:
Yeah by the time my area gets proper 3g coverage ill be in old age I won't be holding my breath for 4G
[Galaxy S III General] wasubi:
Was curious about upgrading to the 4G version, so i spoke to my friend who works for telechoice. she basically said that proper 4G on the optus network wont be 100% till at least March next year. So wait a few months extra and just get the S4 :) Sure, Telstra has it now, but not even they have it widespread. I say wait!
[Galaxy S III General] L335K1:
This 4G international version I9305 is supposedly an international version of the Korean quadcore 2GB ram LTE beast. The Korean model also had a DMB digital TV tuner inside it, which the antenna gave it a little extra width. I wonder if this will be in the international I9305 verions also :confused: can anyone confirm or deny this?
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Holy crap I hope not! Can you imagine trying to drive to work and driving around people watching TV in the traffic! lol
[Galaxy S III General] L335K1:
bahaha, i guess MOST people in Korea take public transport. Maybe they wont bring it down under. On the other hand, it will give the govt something else to ban, make some stupid adverts for and waste tax payers cash ;)
[Galaxy S III General] ghampton10:
wouldnt even work here in perth anyway the reception is so bad you would need a roof antenna hanging from it lol
[Galaxy S III General] frat289:
hi. is it worth the 2gb ram 4g from optus? or 1gb is enough? and does 4g offer white s3. planning to buy s3. tia mates
[Galaxy S III General] L335K1:
depends if ur a gamer or not. NOVA3 for example is close to 2GB, i shudder to think how much is pushed into RAM to play this game. Also i think 2GB will future proof u for a while. The games coming out are just better and better and need more RAM. I dont see a non-gamer needing 2GB RAM yet.

Any news if it's going to be like the soon to be released Germany quad core, 2gb and lte version?
[Galaxy S III General] BrikHaus:
Koreans have a different type of DTV broadcast protocol - DMB. We use DVB. So I highly doubt that it would have put a DVB tuner in it.

(It would be AWESOME if it did though!)

Having said that, I can confirm the 4G S3 is 0.5mm thicker than then the 3G S3. So you never know.
[Galaxy S III General] L335K1:
yea i think a little of the extra thickness has to do with a seperate LTE radio. Samsung has not as yet integrated the LTE radio onto the Exynos SOC. Dual core snapdragon has an intergrated SOC with LTE. At least thats what i read when i was reading about the Korean quad 2GB RAM LTE beast.
[Galaxy S III General] mustang2012:
Thanks kindly for your great information.... I will certainly give a go... BUT ONE MORE QUESTION.

HOW DO I GET BACK TO STOCK TELSTRA ROM IF I EVER WANT TO GO BACK FOR ANY ISSUES ???
[Galaxy S III General] L335K1:
go to Sammobile, search for i9300, there are all the stock ROMS. Remember if it is for warranty purpose you must use 'triangle away' to reset ur flash counter.

Hi,

Thanks again for the answers to my previous post.

I successfully installed the I9300TDUBLH1 Stock ROM for Vodafone the other day for my phone purchased from Telstra. Take note my service is with Vodafone not Telstra.

Yesterday I my speaker would not work when receiving or making calls. I could hear the other person just not the other way round. Anyway my thread isn't really regarding this.

With the ROM mentioned above it was using the TDULF2 modem. I did some research & it seemed to be a common problem with either the custom ROMs or modems. I successfully installed the DULH1 modem & now people can hear me.

My real question is regarding reception. I've only had the phone for a few days but I have noticed I never receive a 3G connection. It does switch over occasionally but only for a few seconds - instead I always have a H+ symbol.

With my previous mobile being a BlackBerry I generally most of the time had a 3G connection. Speeds don’t appear to be any different but I’m only judging this from a few trivial tests using a browser.

Can someone please shed some light on this? I have attached two images one being of the main screen & the results from Speedtest.net.

I’m planning on installing the Omega ICS ROM later today. Is the Jelly Bean ROM stable & bug free? Anyway before I do the install I was also doing some further reading & found this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1740061

I’m not 100% sure what these codes are used for other than to be used for region local identification for the ROMs. What can these be used for other than as a reference?

Thanks in advance – cheers.

H+ is equal to 3.5G. with my phone, we i am in just a 3G area and i run a speedtest, i get maybe 4-5mbps down and 1mbps up. when i am on 3.5G H+ i get 10mbps down and 3mbps up.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1740061 Omega 13.1 ICS is as stable as u can get. great battery life, and when coupled with the siyah custom kernel, u can overclock to a possible 1.8ghz (i only went to 1.6ghz and was getting 14000+ on antutu benchmarks). this is the best combination for speed and stability. it is silky smooth with no lags and minimal to no bugz. Omega v23 is great JB rom, still a few bugs here and there but mostly fine, battery life is not as good and there is no custom kernal as yet.

I’m not 100% sure what these codes are used for other than to be used for region local identification for the ROMs. What can these be used for other than as a reference? example -

I9300 = Model

DX = Region code or Network Code

LE = Release-Date of the Firmware

8 = Revision

That's what I'm finding as well... it should be the same height as the screen, but slightly wider to allow for wallpaper scrolling.
[Galaxy S III General] L335K1:
@ google play - wallpaper wizardrii try that, there are definately apps that can set wallpapers as u like them
[Galaxy S III General] oswade:
Yeah i researched this.. I was thinking it'd be cool to have a tv tuner but too bad we can't lol... However, I suspect digital radio may work on the korean phone, because our radio (DAB+) is apparantly compatible with the DMB standard. That would still be kinda neat :) (higher quality radio than FM)
[Galaxy S III General] danben7:
H+ is better than 3G, don't worry
[Galaxy S III General] L335K1:
yea that would be good. here is a comparison of the international i9305 quadcore 2GBram & LTE and the three different korean models, all with the same quadcore 2GBram & LTE

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=3789&id2=3706&id3=3705&id4=3544

differences i can see after a quick glance - Secondary Cellular Networks & Digital Media Broadcast. :( no digital TV for us.

EDIT - dimensions

international - 70.6 x 136.6 x 8.6 millimetres

(width x height x depth): 2.8 x 5.4 x 0.3 inches

Mass: 135 gramms

korean - 70.6 x 136.6 x 9.4 millimetres

(width x height x depth): 2.8 x 5.4 x 0.4 inches

Mass: 138.5 gramms

so its a bit deeper (giggity) and heavier than the international version, must be the difference in the DMB antenna..

[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
as far as i know it has a 2GB RAM with 1.4 quad-core processor
[Galaxy S III General] frat289:
how bout the appearance? is it thicker than the i9300? is it just available in two colors?
[Galaxy S III General] NewAussiefromCanada:
Slightlly thicker to account for the antenna. Also slightly heavier, a few grams.

Not sure on color selection however.
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
I do remember reading that only the Korean version was thicker as it has some digital TV antenna, but the model we'll be getting is the same thickness. I think the Optus website had it with the same dimensions.

Also, read on whirlpool and on an Optus related forum that they are running down stock of the 3g model and once sold out they will no longer be stocking it. Only the 4g will be sold. Telstra may also be doing the same.

Looks like the i9300/T will soon be an outdated model. :mad:

This is my 1st post so be kind. I

Currently own a GT-I9300T on the Telstra network. I'm currently running Omega v 13.1 (XXBL3) with Siyah Kernel v 1.5.3 and my current modem version is I9300BWLH1. I have been reading this post and it seems that people have been getting better reception data speeds and battery life running the modem I9300XXDLI5. Is this correct? And if so is this modem ok to use on ICS or just JB based roms. Or am I best just sticking to what I currently have got. Any feedback would be appreciated cheers :)

Hi,

I am trying the recent JB Leaks XXDLI7 and XXDLI8 with Telstra. I am getting terrible modem speeds

I had to get Telstra to to resend my APN as these latest leaks lost them.

My modem speeds have gone form 8000+ downdloads to 100-200kps.

Is anyone else getting the same slow speeds?

If not what are your APN settings for Telstra.

Hi all, I have been going through some sites and forums but the more I do the more confused I get. Yes I am new to this...sorta(last time I did something like this was flash my HTC Diamond pro With Windows 6.5 hehe). Ok I bottom of my post for what I have running. What I want to do is just root it and off-course root it safely. I know the warnings etc and therefore I want to make sure I follow the steps. I have found a few sites etc that explain how to do it such as get DL Odin (got it) get CF-Root. Now here is my big Q. A lot of the "tutorials" are dated around June July etc and I see ChainFire has more CF-Root 1.x. Is the do I just try and get the latest version of CF-Root and what might that be OR are the version numbers for specific models/kernels or the like. This might sound stupid Q but I really don't want to brick the S3. Ideally a Aus Vodafone user that has a link to what he or she did to root their phone successfully will be good. Also doe syour method leave the Yellow triangle. I dont want to flash a new rom just want to root the stock Vodafone Aus Rom. Thanks in advance for any help.
