I don't worry about CSC anymore, it only matters for updates and I just install the latest rom anyway. I make everything BTU as that is the first one I edited. Anything except XSA is fine.

I don't know if your stuff is good or not, but the spamming of other forums makes me inclined think it is not. If it were, you would not need to do this.​
[Galaxy S III General] Lord_Lucifer_666:
so not worth trying the XSA Australia	2013 January	4.1.2	I9300XXELLA	I9300XSAELL1 and just stick with the BTU version of 4.1.2

No, XSA locks the bottom row of icons on the home screen, anything else is fine. :)
[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
I was about to flash it, but the locked row is a deal breaker for me.
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
You can flash it, then change CSC, but that wipes the phone so unless you were wiping anyway just use something else.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
here I made a CWM flashable launcher fix for XSA LLA ROM... your launcher will be fully editable and you don't have to go to stupid edit mode to drag around your icons .. Don't have to flash a whole CSC & loose your data ;)

Please, can you stop this, we all know where the custom rom section is, this sort of post is unnecessary and annoying. People choose their rom carefully not because it is the most advertised.​
[Galaxy S III General] gharrington:
Mate really give over! You don't own this thread if you don't like it don't read it! I am just letting my users aware of updates.
[Galaxy S III General] fatherandroid:
Thanks for the update.

Do we just flash this like a full rom with a custom recovery like cwm or twrp?

But we don't lose any data/settings or configurations?

Yes mate just flash as normal all you existing settings apps etc will remain:)
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Gharrington I have so much respect for all your work... but please stop spamming this thread. Your users should look at your thread but not here. It is simple what the thread title says "Australian Galaxy S3 thread" it is simple XDA rule.. do not post if it is not related to this thread. Do you see other developers spamming their country threads ? For an example if you post anything not related bug reporting in CM nightly thread under development section your post will be deleted... same goes to CM discussion thread in general section, if it is not related to CM10 stock discussion you will be ask to go to somewhere else. Only reason you haven't got a warning yet is admins aren't watching this thread much..

And yes he doesn't owm this threas neither do you or me. These are common sense not hard to understand.

I bet you to go post something like this in one of those threads got more attention from admins and then once some one tell you off and I bet you to tell them the same thing you said here which is he doesn't own the thread...;)

hi all. does anyone have a preference of modem for use on the vodafone network in Melbourne?
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
try the latest official modem for Vodafone AU TDUDLJ2.
[Galaxy S III General] aussiesausage:
Don't know if anyone knows this but I'll ask.

I got a 4G and today the sim card tray where the sim card goes is now broken ( to long of a story on how ) I bought a new one of eBay for $19 from Sydney . when I get it will I still keep my 4G? It says it was compatible with a I9300, but I read that it still should work as the 4G isn't based on the sim holder. Anyone know if I'm correct ? Worst cade scenario I'll have 3g?
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
It's just a physical part which holds your sim-card from moving.. It does not have any effects on your network connectivity
[Galaxy S III General] aussiesausage:
OK so realistically it should work again?
[Galaxy S III General] tomc99:
Be careful.

I have the same problem with my phone. I have bought a new tray from eBay, but still waiting for it to arrive.

My wife has a i9300. I opened both phones to compare the SIM trays. It appears the actual circuit boards and SIM holders are the same, but the tin can they are mounted on are different.

When you receive your new tray, make sure you remove the circuit board along with the SIM and memory card holders from the metal/tin can, and reuse your old original metal can. If you don't and just fit the metal/tin can as is it will touch components on the board.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Tom.
[Galaxy S III General] aussiesausage:
Sweet thanks very much for the information mate will keep that. I bought mine from Sydney so should get it Tuesday. The problem with mine is the gold pins snapped off some how ( ask the shop how )
[Galaxy S III General] fatherandroid:
Thanks. using that currently, seems decent enough, was just curious if there was something superior.

i would also like to report that the nfc on my device doesn't work through the aluminium backed case i use, but works fine out of the case. is the range of it really that limited?
[Galaxy S III General] tomc99:
I bought mine with a broken SIM eject mechanism, and broken pins.

I've bent what remains of the pins for now so that they make contact and I can use the phone, but need to use a pin to push the SIM out if I need to get it out.

Tell me how you go when you receive your new tray.

Only the back half of the phone needs to be removed to get to the SIM tray, and it can be removed and unplugged fairly easily.

I'd suggest checking one of the YouTube videos on how to disassemble a S3.

TDUELL2 Bootloader

Guys new Thailand relased T model (I9300T) firmware has a new bootloader. As far as I know only difference between international version (I9300) & 850 optimized version (I9300T) is the bootloader... those who running latest International version ROMs such as LLA & LLC probably running the bootloader that made for I9300. Not sure what kind of effects we get from running wrong bootloader but I think it still better to have the matching bootloader for our device...

So to get the bootloader you have two options

You can flash the whole firmware through PC Odin (mobile odin won't update your bootloader)

Or you can just update the bootloader using PC Odin with extracted bootloader from the firmware

If anyone wants the bootloader let me know I'll post it here ;)

Can someone tell me what "multi window" is ? I'm using ripper ROM and when I enable it, everything is still the same anyway ?
[Galaxy S III General] priyana:
For multi windows, run one app first, just hold down your "back" button for 2 seconds.

A left panel will appear, select second app, and they will run together in their respective window.

to turn off, hold "back" button for 2 seconds again.
[Galaxy S III General] aussiesausage:
Well I got my replacement sim holder thing today, installed it and working fine still got 4G as well. The tray I bought was $18.90 and is for a I9300 but I have a I9305T and it fit perfectly fine nothing needed. Took a picture of what the shop did to my old one.

Constantly dropping signal ???????

Guys,

I have a stock SIII I9300 connected to Optus (via Virgin)

It's rooted and runs stock 4.04 (as I need it like this to run a particular program).

Only problem is that it constantly drops signal and seems to be more time without than with !!

I am aware of the 4.1.2 F/W update but don't want to upgrade, as the program will only run on 4.0.4.

Equally, I can't (don't) want to return it for service as its rooted - nor do I wish to un-root if I can possibly avoid it.

Any ideas on what the problem could be or how to fix it / work around???

Any help would be appreciated.

:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
You could try a different modem, just make sure it is an ICS one.
[Galaxy S III General] 2happy2:
Constantly dropping signal ???????

Thanks very much for the reply, and I'm not meaning to be a pain, but could you point me in the right direction to find one and perhaps a link on how to install it??

I did search the link in your signature but they appear to be predominately for 4.1._, and NOT the ICS version

:o
[Galaxy S III General] omniwolf:
But Kogan's prices are better.

Boost - $40 will get you 3GB data (Full NextG - 42mbps theoretical DL speed)

Kogan - $30 will get you 6GB data (Telstra wholesale - 7.2mbps theoretical DL speed)
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Start here CWM = Clockwork Mod, Odin is either Odin or mobile Odin, I would suggest start with the newer ones but you can just flash and test without upsetting anything else.
[Galaxy S III General] bunnybash:
Kogan's coverage is pretty average though - a lot of users are reporting that Optus has better coverage.

I am on Amaysim at the moment, but I am pretty sure I will be switching to Boost.
[Galaxy S III General] Black Dawg Down:
No one here on Telstra experiencing bad Fast Dormancy issues?

I'm on BTU 4.1.2 and I wonder if flashing to XSA will solve the FD issue. I'm reluctant to try because it involves wiping and there's the locked dock issue.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
I have posted few pages back how to unlock the dock....don't think flashing XSA rom make any difference since it's made for I9300.. flash the latest T model Thailand firmware TDUELL2 (4.1.2) and then telstra CSC you may have to wipe though
[Galaxy S III General] Black Dawg Down:
Thanks, and this won't brick my unbranded I9300?
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Yours an unbranded I9300? Sorry thought you had a T model.. then flash latest I9300 EMA2 ROM.. then flash telstra CSC & TDUELL2 modem.. let me know if you don't have the telstra CSC to flash through Odin

No this wont brick your phone unless you installed a wrong firmware that made for totally different device with different partition table
[Galaxy S III General] Black Dawg Down:
I know how to flash a ROM, but how do you flash CSC and modem separately?

Yes please let me know where to get telstra CSC and the DUELL2 modem.

This won't change my device status from Normal to Modified, right?

Are these the right steps:

1. Flash I9300 EMA2 ROM via Odin

2. Flash Telstra DLK2 CSC via Odin

3. Flash Thailand TDUELL2 modem via Odin?

4. Wipe?
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
here is the Telstra CSC.. extract the zip file and flash the CSC_Telstra.tar.md5 with Odin in CSC

you can download & install the Modem through CWM from here once you rooted & have CWM installed

If you wanted to keep status to Normal these steps are correct.. once you root & have CWM install it will be modified.. any reason why you trying to keep the status to Normal ? Read my MODEM/RIL thread where I have explained about RILs which you can't change without rooting.. TDUELL2 modem Odin flashable package posted here

I just disabled that fast dormancy. I read up about it and still don't understand what it is so will see what happens with it off.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
I'm not sure what's your question is.. If you on Omega on telstra network just flash the TDUELL2 modem+RILs I posted..

fast dormancy supposed to saves battery life.. but when you have custom ROM's and other latest ROMs that aren't optimized for your network you may have issues

To able to fast dormancy to work you must have fast dormancy support from both your device & network.. I know Telstra does support fast dormancy.. Vodafone doesn't because they are cheap

here's a simple explanation from XDA TV..

http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-t...ur-battery-from-3g-drainage-xda-developer-tv/

http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-tv-2/fast-dormancy-the-whole-story-xda-developer-tv/

warning: you may find it's hard to concentrate what she's saying :D
[Galaxy S III General] Black Dawg Down:
The strange thing is, Telstra does support Fast Dormancy and indeed it does work on my I9300. So why is it causing battery problem?

I did the *#0011# test. As per omniwolf's post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34441129&postcount=15 , my cycles went like this:

Cycle: DCH -> FACH -> URA-PCH (-> IDLE)

T1 (DCH -> FACH): ~2 seconds

T2 (FACH -> URA-PCH): 3-5 seconds

T3 (URA-PCH -> IDLE): doesn't happen. Maybe when the screen is off??

Now my brother who lives in another country, his network also supports FD but the difference is his device does go into IDLE state. Needless to say his battery life is much better than mine.

It wasn't like this before. I think it only happened in the last two weeks. So Telstra must have done something from their end? I can only hope they turn it back, whatever they did.

I swear it was fine until a couple of weeks ago. What did you do, Telstra?? Undo it, please!
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
This could be just the tower you connected to... also have you tried on a different location ? Did you try with the RILs+modem I provided? if don't have this issue with stock telstra ROM what you can do is try to get setup that close to telstra rom by flashing telstra csc and RILs+modem
[Galaxy S III General] Black Dawg Down:
Yeah I tried different locations. At work in Sydney CBD and home 13km away.

I'm a bit reluctant to root. I'll see how it goes, maybe the next update will fix it, considering there was no issue until a couple of weeks ago.
[Galaxy S III General] bunnybash:
User reports on Whirlpool. If you look at the coverage that Kogan claim, they don't claim the same level of australian population coverage either. I am not sure why or how it is different, but users are reporting massive dead spots and drop outs vs. their traditional Telstra sim.

Boost are claiming the same population coverage as Telstra, which would lead me to believe that they have a different level of access to the network.

There are several threads over at whirlpool, lifehacker and various other tech sites which delve into the issues.
[Galaxy S III General] omniwolf:
I'm sure his network implements FD differently. there's not one single way, there's many configurables that the engineers will set differently depending on the requirements (and expertise)

I did my testing more than a couple of weeks ago, i don't think anything has changed.

possibly i did. I have a telstra i9300T, and a telstra i9305T (and a telstra N7105T). my testing was done on custom ROMs, but the i9305 had the original telstra modem, and they both exhibited the same behaviour.

I don't think there's anything sinister going on here, except that Telstra's fast dormancy doesn't appear to save battery life. Remember; just because we're not seeing favourable battery life doesn't mean it's not working as prescribed - possibly Testra have it set up like this on purpose.. maybe it's actually much better for network congestion or something, and a side effect is poorer battery life. Only a telstra engineer could answer
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Did any of you actually tested this on stock Telstra ROM ? Modem doesn't matter..im just trying to find if this related RILS. .. dis you have matching RILs installed when you did the test ?
[Galaxy S III General] no1bossman:
Hi, I've been using various Android phones all with custom ROM's for years now. Anyway I gave my wife my old I9300 with the latest Omega ROM & Siyah kernel. I previously was using this phone with Vodafone also. But have since ported over to Telstra on another handset.

She activated a new SIM. But the phone keeps stating the following message when I attempt to make a call - Not registered on network.

I installed the DUDLJ2 modem. I also researched the found items regarding APN settings.

Has anyone had any similar problems? I've taken the SIM out a few times without any success.
[Galaxy S III General] omniwolf:
test what exactly? FD cycle times? or battery life with/without FD enabled?
