I'm going to blame gremlins. Going to full wipe myself, and backup/restore apps using appback, call logs backup, sms backup, etc. Apparently, I've been trying to fix this bug that doesn't exist, with the home button not working. Installed test update, everything works, restore data and it all screw up. Make a minor change and adb push it while in recovery, boot loops. :eek:

Happens when I try to do something on my wife's phone. I was already playing with DPI settings on mine and things looked odd when switching to stock DPI, before I did the tablet mode thing in the kang thread.

Temporarily taking down the 26Jun .zip to put up the one with the 4g fix. Creating a script to avoid future debacles.

Considering how much I paid for my international GS3 on release day.. this seems like a good deal for the retail price.

Also, didn't the GS2 sell for $230 on T-Mobile initially as well?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Same price for S2 when it came out. Business as usual.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxKamikazexx:
Yup, it sure did... and that's before taxes!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
What's so insane about it? Its a dumbdown version of the S3 as usual. Same thing as the T989. I'm getting international!@!

199.00 at Verizon with a 2 yr contract or extension it ships out the 10th .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
The differences are the SoC and overall what I've read the S4 krait is actually better in many ways.. and the ram, our variant has 2 gigabytes instead of 1 gb...

I will be getting the TMo variant.

!!!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
$630 retail is a lot of money anyways you look at it. I paid 540 for mine and that has been the ONLY phone ive been willing to pay that much for. I look at it from the perspective of, "what can i do in my life with $630 dollars?" I understand this is a phone forum, but seriously, not only 6 months after sgs2 release and people are rushing to buy a new phone? Let me ask this: are those that are willing to purchase sgs3 willing to theoretically fork out just as much plus more for sgs4 (or new nexus, or x phone?) 6 months later?

it's only a $129 mark up from their usual $500 for every new phone release :D LOL

i'll still buy it in full, the next time i go to Buffalo ;)

still cheaper than buying it locally in Canada
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
I just don't get how everyone is comparing apples to oranges. Verizon is a more expensive provider so if you want to save a few bucks on a phone you will have to pay more over time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cyberguest:
it's $80 dollar more + tax on that additional ($80+$50MIR), about $90 more depending on where you live.

you will be stuck for 24 months.

90/24 = $3.75/month, add that to your classic data plan, that's 33.75/month for data ($30/ for 4g monthly, right?).

how much does verizon and att charge?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] saltmine:
Actually, he's right. The international S3 uses a quad-core CPU while the US version uses a dual-core. The only benefit is that the American GS3 has 2GB ram.. but I've never maxed out 1GB on my international phone.

I really would rather not take a chance with this Snapdragon S4 chip.. even though it uses a superior architecture (on paper), the performance of the T989 vs i9100 is just disappointing. Hopefully T999 vs I9300 won't be that sad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Because of bolded
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
From what I remember, our OS and like 99% of apps isn't designed for quadcore. So even if you have more cores, having an OS and apps that doesn't utilize it correctly is useless.

And if you say the quadcore is futureproof, 4g LTE is not compatible with it. i don't even think 42 hspda+ is compatible with it (don't remember).

However, 2gb ram is definitely future proof.

And to those who says "I don't even use the full 1gb ram". Well our OS is designed to keep it below that.., imagine having twice the amount of RAM for apps and background stuff to freely move around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
You need to know what you're talking about first. The international galaxy s3 will get updates faster, just like t989 vs i9100. Plus i'm thinking because they made the apps and new features in ICS specially for the quad core version first, it will be better with the quad core because that touchwiz is made for the int. version first. Plus the 2GB ram is for the S4 gpu, as it doesnt have internal ram which is why then need 2gbs for it.

Hint: HOX with 1gb ram and s4..

"this would explain why the Tegra 3 version has .98 GB of ram for min free, sense and gives a little left over for what isn't cached. And the S4 version only has 600 mbs."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] magus57:
Have you seen benchmarks of the S4? It's no slouch for being a dual-core, and beats it in 3/7 benchmarks (and Tegra in all but one):

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii_us_version-review-774p4.php

With how few apps are truly optimized for dual-cores (let alone quad-cores), I'd say it's a while before quad-cores are truly utilized (there's a reason why the HTC Flyer with its 1.5Ghz single-core processor is still a pretty solid performer, for example)...and at that point, there will be plenty of better phones available. It's obvious that Tegra and Exynos are better for gaming, so if anything it'd depend on how important it is to you (personally, I don't game on mobile devices, so I couldn't care less).

You're definitely right with the updates however, but then you also have to realize the international version will only work on 2G on T-Mobile US (at least until the 1900Mhz roll-out hits everyone) - meaning the browser benchmarks are basically a useless comparison outside of a Wifi connection (and I don't know about everyone here, but when I have a Wifi connection available, I usually have a computer available too).

Regardless:

Who said i'll stay with tmobile? StraightTalk is enough for me, as i barely use more than 1 gb in the summer/ per month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] magus57:
Not everybody has the ability to switch carriers like that, or wants to when their friend is hooking them up with a <$20/month plan that includes unlimited internet :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
Oh well, i never ever got into a contract. Plus i hate tmobile's 4g as its laggy most of the time. Heck, even verizon's EVDO is faster than tmobiles 4g -.-! I'm talking about iphone 4 on verizon's 3g loading pages and youtube videos faster than my T989, altho i might try the s3 to see if its the same issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ImARaptor:
So I've looked for an answer but I am soooo confused. Can someone explain how the phone is $230 on a value plan? I thought a value plan was when you pay full price for the phone so they cut your monthly bill down? I'm about to open up my first account with T-Mobile if that helps. :) Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] magus57:
I'd say that has to be an issue with the phone itself, or your particular location/coverage...not too long ago they did a speed-test of networks and Sprint's 3G (and even 4G/WiMax) was always the slowest, and I'd imagine Verizon's EVDO being similarly slow...

You pay a down payment for $230 (plus sales tax on the full $629.99), and then do 20 monthly payments (at $20, no tax) to pay it off.

IMO all US carriers should have an option like that - it's absurd to pay so much per month with some carriers (*cough*AT&T and Verizon*cough*) just to get a discounted phone price, when there's so many people fine with bringing their own device to the service or paying full-price through the carrier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
It's not about the speedtest. I beat my friend's verizon LTE in download speeds, but he had 4x the up speed as its lte, yet youtube loaded alot slower for me, and so did the browsing. The only thing i had faster is downloading and installing apps. Altho about 1/3 apps i downloaded to test with my friends Razr didn't even load, it said Starting download or something like that and froze.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikrame:
I will wait till it get into walmart or target for 199 or may be lower than that. May be in couple of months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Djapatos:
yup... that my plan too... last year I used my sis upgrade to get the SII at target for only $100 on Christmas, and this year my update is in Oct, so imma try to do the same thing around Black Friday or Christmas
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ImARaptor:
Thanks! $20 on top of the $60 unlimited value plan is pretty cheap :) I was worried and considering AT&T, but you just saved me in the long run! Wait, so after the phone is paid for, I am on contract for $60 measly bucks a month? TF?! How can it be so cheap?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
I was actually going to order the international version and head over to straight talk too, but then decided to just wait and see for a couple of months just in case Samsung does the same thing they did with the gs2 when they released the nexus just a couple of months after. I don't think it's a bad idea to just wait a few months and see what else they pull out. Note2 maybe, hopefully, waiting to see :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djpingpong:
I'm a retail employee and I think the prices are outrageous. At launch the GS2 was priced at $530 until they decided to up it to $600 months later. Seems like corporate is really trying to push their luck on how much money they make on these Value plans...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dmxthanos:
Shoot I bought my SGSII in store for like 530$ brand new without updating contract. Then I just went to the father's day sale and bought a new s2 and got it for free from the rebate. So I have two now just in case. But it's business as usual. I know I won't be paying for that phone anytime soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] belly1026:
I got lucky with my T989 and bought one for $325 off of CL within one month of its release and then another one for $360 for my friend. Both were brand new.

Although I think the retail price is way too high for the S3, I just hope I can get lucky again with Craigslist.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OreoBoyVa:
Luckily I work at the ship used and practically get it free
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a93hunt:
Given that TMO's data and voice plans are less expensive in comparison to other carriers, I think it's reasonable for them to up the price of their phones a bit. However, with the prices that do stand now, I do agree that it is a bit high.

It also seems that TMO is trying to put less weight on themselves and more on the customer as they are trying to subsidize less and allocate more of the cost of the phones to the consumers. Just my 2 cents.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bkaltec:
Have I been mislead by thinking the S3 is identicle to the sprint/att/verizon version? I read they all use the Snapdragon S4 SOC.

I know our S2 was the bastard child, but it seems like everyone had a different S2 and nobody had great support for custom software (aokp or cm).

It seems like all of the US gets the same phone, which helps everyone tremendously by giving the devs a chance to work on one framework.

This is the only reason id consider the S3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ImARaptor:
I was wondering how this will work. Can devs just focus on the Galaxy S3 in its entirety, or will each phone need special attention (regarding different carriers). With that being said, will we be able to flash roms for the international version and then simply flash a network patch? Sort of like the Skyrocket and SGH-T989?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
Nop, you won't be able to flash roms for international version because its almost the same deal with t989 vs i9100. They both have different chipsets, different gpu's and cpus and audio chipsets. So i'm guessing you'll be able to flash other US carrier's s3 roms but with modifications.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ImARaptor:
+1 :) However, do you know what kind of modifications would have to be made? The phones seem completely identical hardware and software wise. I don't believe that any core software depends on anything carrier related, other than Wifi calling. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _ice_:
I passed up on the s3, awating next nexus device. Probably will have jelly bean in it anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ramhardy:
I personally can't justify spending $630 on a phone lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talltexan:
could you justify spending $300 then an added $20-$30/mo for 24/mo's because yours stuck in a contract? People this is the diffrence between subsidized and un subsidized. Tmobile gives you about a $20/mo cut whenever you go to no contract so think... thats $480 in savings over the two year time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ramhardy:
I hope that wasn't directed toward me because I'm not in a contract.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
If you have the S2, you won't need 630, more like 300. Sell yours and you'll get around 300.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OreoBoyVa:
If you sold tor phone for 300 you would need 300 your still paying 600 lmao
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kid Poker:
Well for the insane people, the SGS3 32gb model is sold out online if you look at T-Mobile's website
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ramhardy:
I'll keep my S2 for the time being, because at the end of the day it's not $300 more of stuff I will use, unless something like a samsung note variant for t-mobile is released

Exactly lol, plus no rom development as of yet, so we are actually ahead of the game with the GS2 if we want to keep it custom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rosedog:
He means under contract so you're paying less than $300, lmao.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TripArtist:
I have to say this looks about right when I got my TELUS T989D. Maybe off by a few shiny coins. It's the price you pay for "cutting edge". Even if the next best thing is about to be released. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
LOl the next best thing is always about to be released. thats why i dont get on that train. I stick to one good phone that suits my needs for a while. Rebates or retail, it doesnt justify having to purchase a new phone because its newer. For those of you that got the sg2 6 months ago, (me), it just doesnt make sense, unless you really have the money and dont have a wife or children to feed or to prevent you from getting a new phone every 6 months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonb39:
Its only $629 if you're on a value plan. If you're on a subsidized plan, its around $300. The Galaxy S II was $600 on the value plan until the GSIII was released now it's $550. It's only a $30 increase from the GSII. The value plan is a huge savings for people that don't get a new phone every two years or who get cheaper phones. If you get the new most expensive phone every time one comes out, then you just break even. Either way, on the value plan, you pay less up front and either the same or less per month, and its a lot more straightforward and fair. It amazes me that people don't understand the value of their phones or how a phone subsidy works. When you get a phone for free or reduced, you're paying for it one way or another!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonb39:
Fyi, the Samsung Note is definitely coming to T-Mobile within the next few weeks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rosedog:
Yeah I picked up the SGS3 yesterday and because it has NO MASS STORAGE when connected to the PC and then the Note is coming out in a few weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm returning the SGS3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] diqsa:
sigh, tmobile in texas is so random. some times it'll be awesome service and some times it'll work like crap...not much we can do but just accept the prices haha. verizon's is cheaper i think, but paying for verizon's service will make most of us broke -__-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
Actually, you're only mostly correct. Subsidized phones are a way to lock people into a contract. Sign a contract for 2 years, they'll give you a better deal on the phone. However, with the value plans, you're paying full price for the phone, AND locked into a contract, still. The only difference between Classic and Value plans is the cost of the plan. Value plan is cheaper, albeit only slightly less.

However, saying that, if you're planning on getting the phone and have no plans to leave T-Mobile anyway, might as well go with a Value plan. Save money on your monthly.

(btw, I know the other difference on a Value plan is paying less upfront for the phone and the rest monthly. I didn't mention it at first, since I figured others would know that. However, if someone doesn't know that I decided it good information to include, which is why I mention it now).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rickshaw513:
Those prices are about what was expected for the gsIII. Good phones are expensive deal with it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
Uh, I don't think you get it. The thread is not about the overall price of the phone, it is about the T-Mobile price for the phone, as indicated by the thread name. The T-Mobile price is higher than all the other carriers, and the OP (and others) was shocked at this fact.

Deal with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
They are not completely identical. SIII has the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and 2gb of RAM and PenTile screen. SII has the Qualcomm Snapdragon S3, 1gb RAM, and RGB matrix. The only thing that is identical is the camera and GPU architecture except that the SIII is clocked higher @ 400MHz instead of 233MHz on the SII.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonb39:
So what part of what I said was incorrect?

Hi I'm using CMW currently and I don't think It's fully setup for our phone and the issue I'm having I can't charge my phone with the power off when I try to the phone powers on when I plug it in and boots to recovery by itself. I tried koush cmw and I'm currently using mondaco cmw I think It's called same issue with both it also just feels like there isn't enough options.

I just download goomanager from the play market and I'm thinking of trying TWRP I read that the back ups between twrp and cmw aren't compatible so I'll just make an extra back up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[HTC One S] Eumaniac:
I'm using TWRP now after using cwm for the last month. I think TWRP has better support for the hos. Never had this charging issue though.
[HTC One S] plakers:
TWRP is good, very nice features! BUT : It is not compatible with Aroma for now, so, as many packages (applications, some ROMs...) uses it, I went back to Touch CWM (5.8.3.1) for compatibility reasons, which is also a very good and "standard" flavor.

It works with Aroma now, I used it with the TweakMachine :)

[HTC One S] jayelbird:
I use CWm and also found that it turns on to recovery when powered off and charging, but the charging does continue. I do not know why it powers on to recovery, but the charging does continue.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
If you're still in communication, please let him know to get in touch with the TWRP team to see if they will share their "trick" to allow flashing of boot.img via normal recovery.

Oh that's awesome 4ext would be awesome good to know we still have recoveries coming thank you guys so much for the information
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
I really liked his recovery--donated too--nice themes--
[HTC One S] ickedmel:
I installed TWRP the phone can charge with the power off now, and I like the different options more, this will hold me over until 4ext. When flashing new recoveries are battery stats lost ? Should you wipe battery stats ? Or no.
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
Not sure when the pros recommend it, but I wipe battery stats btw new roms--
[HTC One S] dooshbag45:
It does charge in recovery. HTC phones more or less have the booting up into recovery problem/issue/feature??? after installing cwm. I wipe battery stats after every new rom I flash after its fully recharged.
[HTC One S] Eumaniac:
I've read that battery stats are wiped after every 100% charge.
