well, i was able to get my code from AT&T! i'm not sure if it's been a long enough time (perhaps, it's been 30 days now) but I requested an unlock code for an atrix on my line, and then afterwards asked if they could get one for the S3, and they got it!

Nettie B: Thank you for contacting ATT tech chat, my name is Nettie B and I will be assisting you today.

Chris D: hello

@ dLo GSR

Quick question, were you able to input the unlock code with the AT&T sim card still in the phone? If so, what code did you use to bring up the applet to insert the unlock code?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
the normal #SIMLOCK*638# doens't work so i'm just going to use the pop-up when i insert a foreign SIM when i get to europe this week. i have a stash of non-US SIMS from the past but I packed them away for the summer :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sailindawg:
Thanks. That's what I'm gathering from some of the posts I've found. Pop the new SIM in & put the unlock code in when prompted.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] m3x1cant7863:
For my i747 I used cellunlocker.net and none of the codes worked out right either. i had to borrow my friends verizon sim card and it asked for an unlock code. Then the screen went to sleep and when i turned it back on it worked. strange how none of those other methods worked but the sim card method.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] milan03:
I'm pretty sure the WCDMA portion of baseband chipset has absolutely no 1700/2100Mhz AWS tuned antennas, filters, PA's, etc.

One thing is to SIM unlock and put on T-Mobile ROM, but it's completely another thing to have the actual hardware that supports T-Mobile bands...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rault18:
Let me understand. You paid full price (680 plus tax) and the cost of the unlocking code for the dual core version while you could ve bought the quad unlocked and ready to be used?

Sorry but I must LOL
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] id10terrordfw:
For those on AT&T, having LTE is a godsend. I average 45mbps down at work and home. Also latency is much much lower as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seksmeup:
Except.. he isn't planning to use AT&T. OP said he wants to use Straight Talk, which doesn't support LTE anyway.

Verizon doesn't use sim cards..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
um, yes they do for LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rault18:
He said no att Iirc
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] id10terrordfw:
Sure, the OP said that. However others are talking about overseas travel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seksmeup:
My mistake then. I don't use Verizon so I wouldn't know. Is the sim card only for the LTE or can it include telephony services as well?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T3hBraveBoss:
Wait cell unlock worked?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grkmaster:
I chatted with att live chat and got me nowhere

I then called customer service. At first the lady goes that my phone is new and cant be unlocked and before i said anything she went backand checked the system. Wait a minute or so and then tells me the phone became unlockable as of July 6th. She gave me my pin code and that was it!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phateless:
Is the phone rooted? Are you using root explorer? Might be invisible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phateless:
That's optional for traveling. Notice how there is no SIM in there.

Inside your service area like the US, vzw is cdma and the esn is hard coded into the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grkmaster:
My sister has the Verizon s3 and there is a sim card in there.. For LTE to work it needs the sim card
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
look closer at the photo. there is most definitely a SIM card in there.

my girlfriend's VZW came with an LTE sim card. without the SIM the phone will not work.

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

the SIM card is the entire phone service, just like on a GSM provider. since vzw is using LTE, and LTE uses the SIM standard, that is why they are moving to SIMs for their LTE phones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phateless:
So does that mean VZW is going GSM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] abteer:
Yes. Yes it does. Spread the word.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pakxelaos:
How is that possible ?

The Verizon use CDMA, don't think is compatible with GSM :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
NO. it means LTE uses the SIM card standard. that is ALL.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

stop it.

this is true. Verizon ALSO uses LTE which USES sim cards, but it is NOT gsm.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spdapimp217:
So after seeing this thread I figured I would go ahead and try contacting their online chat support and getting the unlock code. They didn't even ask me for an IMEI. If it doesn't work for you the first time, I suggest you just try again :)

Sybastian Chambers: Welcome to the AT&T Live Technical Support Chat

Sybastian Chambers: My name is, Sybastian Chambers I will be happy to assist you

Sonny: Thanks

Sybastian Chambers: It will take me a moment to verify your account and I will be happy to assist you.

Sybastian Chambers: Are you looking to unlock the Samsung phone?

Sonny: Yes

Sybastian Chambers: Thank you.

Sonny: the Galaxy S III

Sybastian Chambers: Ok

Sybastian Chambers: The unlock code for your Samsung is 2******4.

Sonny: Thank you so much

Sybastian Chambers: You are very welcome.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phateless:
How is that possible? Did they have your imei from your phone in use?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spdapimp217:
Yeah because I bought it on contract so the phone was "activated" on my account. I've also been with them for about 10 years so I don't know if that's why they may have been lenient.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Superguy:
This isn't true. LTE is a GSM technology as is WCDMA/UMTS, HSPA, GPRS, EDGE, etc. LTE is the only GSM technology Verizon uses, however.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phateless:

Wow people, just unlock it yourself with the dial pad. In Ireland now using a att sgs3 i747. Unlocked it in about 45 seconds... Lol there is a big thread on it .

Oh it's FREE.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tones2:
From this Wikipedia list...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III

...it appears that both Rogers and Bell in Canada are offering a SGH-I747 Samsung GS3 which is listed as the same variant as AT&T. However, they are offering internal 32GB models and AT&T is not, and that's what I want. I'm current using an iPhone 4S 64GB and I want to be able to swap sim cards back and forth between phones. Yes, I know I can get a 64GB microSD card but I want 96Gb on the phone (I don't want to argue this point).

So I have a few questions:

1) If I get a Rogers or Bell phone without contract and manage to unlock it, will it be fully compatable with the AT&T network just by swapping sims cards with the iPhone?

2) Will it work with AT&T LTE as well as 3G / Edge, both cell and data?

3) Does unlocking companies like cellunlocker.net actually WORK? Is this legal?

Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide. :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pterry30:
The Bell. Rogers, Telus have the same hardware as the AT&t phone other than the sofware, rom and modem is a little different. I have used AT&T phone here in Canada without issues. The only problem, right now for at least the first month, they will not sell you a phone outright, either new contract or as a upgraded only.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Also it is legal to unlock your phone and you can get the sim unlock codes from companies like cellular unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] QAM:
Hola

I will step in here and say you are presently incorrect about not being able to buy this phone outright. I bought it at a local Bell Canada store (32gb) and no regrets yet.

That being said Bell is the only carrier that is allowing this at the moment. But do note buying the phone outright online is not possible which is an obvious limitation if you can't visit a local store.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dx9:

I'll take the opportunity to note that Telus also sells the phone outright; you may have to get it directly from them, though.

A couple questions: if it has GPS does that mean it will be able to do navigation without wifi? If not, what benefit does a GPS module bring if you are not connected to wifi, if any?

If it has a GPS module, like it seem....you dont need any data conection, via 3G or wifi.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolini900:
Last night when I went to bed, the last thing I did was to check if my alarm was set, which is was. The phone was in no weird condition, working as it was supposed to. I left the phone with the charger plugged in over the night.

Then I woke up this morning and couldnt get the screen on. First I just thought it was a SOD, so I removed the battery and tried to reboot it.. but nothing. Phone wont boot neither normally, in recovery or in download mode. Even when I connect the charger there is no activity on the screen, completely dead.

What could have happend? As I said the phone worked just fine last night and noone has touched it over night.

I was running paranoid android 0.3, with the kernel that is delivered with the ROM.

Any toughts? I have ordered a JIG from ebay, and im gonna try and see tomorrow if my friends JIG will work on the note, his JIG is for Galaxy SII.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Café King:

Or do you have a friend with a Note? Maybe you could try with another battery. I would do that.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolini900:
No reaction to a PC, will try with another battery this weekend when I see my brother who also has a Note.

Seems weird tho that the battery would just die like that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Café King:
If I don't remember wrong, it's not a good idea to let the battery run dry depending on what rom you use. If it runs dry you cannot turn on the phone and the phone won't react to charger.

I would try with your brothers battery and see if there's any reaction. Or do you have a charger to directly charge the battery?

/CK
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolini900:
The battery was on 10% when I went to bed, with the charger plugged in.

How do you charge the battery directly? I could check at work tomorrow with a voltmeter and see if the battery is drained or not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolini900:
I checked my battery at work today with a voltmeter to see if it had any juice in it, turned out to be completely dead. 0 voltage.

Hey. I just had this issue today. I thought my phone got bricked without doing anything. I was using it then 10 mins later it won't respond when i took it out of my pocket..

I had about 80% battery when it died this morning. I tried to boot it to recovery or download mode but nothing....

I finally tried using my bro-inlaw's battery but still nothing...

I blew my battery contacts and pins... Removed the sim and sdcard then placed battery back.

Tried turning it on normally... It did! My battery was at 59% when it finally turned on..

I'm on PA v0.4 with white gnote unit.

I think it may have been the unit acting up, not the rom.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolini900:
I checked with my brothers battery yesterday and the phone started without problems, also plugged in a charger and it was charging as it should.

Must have been my old battery that just went dead?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gibovl:
it could be the cause with your phone, but for me, no, because i'm still using the same original battery that came with the phone. and it's working without issues now.

However, I did a clean install of PAv.4 after it started working again just in case.

Are you guys digging the Apollo music app? I think i may have liked the old music player from cm7 better. I haven't played with it much but i seen a few requests for it. Is there any advantages with having Apollo over the older style music app?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Extract it, put it in system/app, and i think fix permissions. If it doesn't work, then try just installing it. That worked for when i put Apollo on aokp.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
That didn't work. I think there might be some associated files kind of like Swype.

its a 7inch screen same price

idk how good it is tho
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drawingbreath:
No and that's the reason why when I finally bought a tablet it was a Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 finally filled that niche of power, price and portability. If you add on the fact that millions will be sold and it will be getting community support for years you can guarantee it will be a sensible purchase.

The only fly in the ointment is the spotty customer service from Google. However I think it's worth the risk.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
Its not horrible ...dual core vs quad core. I think a slightly lower resolution, but it has a microSD slot. I would get the tab 2 7.0 if I were a media junkie. You know, having to have tons and tons of music, movies, and other media like that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZImmortal:
From various reports I've read from people who actually used both the Tab 2 and the Nexus 7, they always say that the Tab 2 is much less responsive as far as the UI goes. It seems like it's probably a software/ROM issue since the CPU is powerful despite being "only" a dual core.

You need to go to the Android market, now called Play and search for the correct application. I found a Cantonese keyboard input that did both simple and traditional Chinese. There are also some handwriting versions.

You can NOT flash any international version (except Canada for Bell/Rogers), since Samsung has different processors in different countries.
