ok cool thanks for the help here...

so as far as calender stuff.... can i back it up and restore it, or am i hooped and just stuck losing it? since i have my google stuff, shouldn't it back it up for me? i know when i went from my optimus 2x (un modded) to my sgs3 i just signed into google and everything showed up... won't happen here though or what?

also.....i've been reading about people having to install gapps (google apps i'm guessing?) separately? what's the deal there... do i have to do that? thanks

one other thing i forgot to ask... i've had a few people tell me that, being on wind, i cannot use tmo roms etc like i used to be able to on other phones (apparently) but now it looks like those links above are all tmo roms... i'm confused... am i boing to bork up my phone if i put tmo stuff on it, or no? thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dakunclear:
well they said that it could cause issues but my old optimus 2x aka g2x worked fine with tmobile roms and btw GS3 is T999 where as the Canadian version is T999V and should have no issues from what i can see if im not mistaken the optimus 2x up here was P990DW where as the tmo version was T990 but the roms and everything were the same for both.

where as for the calendar its prob a loss and yes you install gapps separately but just follow the instruction and it will lead you through everything safely but here is another link just in case :D

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It depends mostly on your location. Check the map in my modem thread. Its now stickied in the development section. (Post 2 has the map)

Maybe some folks in your area have reported their findings. You guys only have 2 choices at the moment so it should be easy to test, so if you're willing to do so don't forget to add your data to the map as well. The more data we have for a given location the more reliable it becomes.

Hey guys

Glad this is becoming a thing. Wasn't sure who else had this phone on WIND. It's good to hear it. Quick question, how many of you have rooted the phone? Also is it possible to root it using OSX? Every tutorial I have seen so far needed a specific version of ODIN running on Windows. Has anyone been successful using adb? If so could you kindly let me know how this was done?

Thanks! Happy rooting everyone!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tapsta:
I wonder when Wind will push the jelly bean update...can't be that much longer...

I noticed I had horrible battery life on this phone. I'm not sure if its because I'm in an area where WIND isn't that strong. I do have it sent to power saving mode, disabled auto brightness, set brightness to lowest and only use wifi, bt, and gps when needed (hardly turn it on these days).

I figure it might be the rom. anyone else experiencing this? my friends with non wind s3's don't have this issue.

I had an tmobile g2 with stock rom on wind before. I found the data would jump from 3g to 4G constantly. I flashed a different rom on it and it would stay on 4G no matter what. Saw much better battery life with that rom. Keep in mind the rom was designed to have great battery life. You could try and download phoneinfo and force a 4G connection only. Might help with battery life.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] atn_chargers:
It might be your signal strength that's causing this mess. I'm in the US, using Wind's ROM on T-Mobile HSPA+ and battery life has been great.

Warranty

Has anyone here sent their S3 for repair from Wind? I was just wondering if they or Samsung offer any trade in service like Apple?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] toolie85:
I know for a post-pay customer...Wind offers a trade in service as the s3 has to be shipped to samsung to be inspected.

(not sure how it works if they find out you bricked your phone and is not covered and you're a pre-pay customer)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc fan89:
If there's a samsung service center in your city you can just go there... I know there's a service center in Montreal, and you don't need have your bill to get warranty services...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] limpexowns:
I had issued with my old S3, it was showing a big black dot on screen (the Mura effect). I contacted Samsung and they said as long as the phone is in the warranty, they will repair it and pay for shipping, etc. But I'm sure if you go to Wind, they will provide you a supplementary temporary phone until the phone comes back from repair.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cakeor314:
Alright, thanks for the answers. I too am experiencing the " Mura effect". I don't believe there is a Samsung repair center near the Niagara region or even Toronto. Do you guys think I can have it replaced if the device was previously rooted? I am thinking of flashing stock with ODIN to get back to out of the box state.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc fan89:
Yes, Put it back to stock also reset the flash counter then flash it back to stock via Odin
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] toolie85:
I'd do what htc fan said above.

I asked my friend and there is a 10 dollar non refundable fee and an 80 deposit you need to put down in case there are repair fees.

I forgot to mention yesterday that the loaner phone you'll be getting might not necessarily be an S3 but maybe an S.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cakeor314:
Alright thanks, I'l look more into on how to reset the flash counter. And I'm not too worried about the loaner phone since I unlocked it and now on Fido.

Cannot Receive Calls/Texts Intermittently

Hello All,

I'm having this crazy issue where I cannot receive calls and text messages any time between 1 to 2 days after a fresh reboot even though the phone show's it's connected with full signal strength. The only way to resolve this issue is to either reboot the phone, enable and disable flight mode so it disconnects and reconnects to the network or simply make an outgoing call - then a flood of text messages will come in indicating the missed calls. When people call during the time of this issue - they will simply get the Wind Mobile recording message saying that the customer is not available. I've sent it in for repair twice and yet, they cannot fix it.. They are issuing me a refurb as a replacement (which I think is not fair since I paid for a brand new one and I just phone had this issue out of the box. Purchased on September 8th, 2012)

Does anyone else have this issue on Wind Mobile and know how to fix it? It's bizzare and very frustrating as I'm missing important calls. I have no clue who is trying to call me. It should be like this where I have to restart the phone every day in order for me to "fix" my issue.

DO NOT choose a device that is Not Exactly yours ... in Rom Manager ... or it will download roms for those devices which COULD brick your phone!

is there such a thing as a bad jb rom? lol

ok ... so then you have clockworkmod (cwm) recovery? and superSu ... please confirm

the sgs3 is touchwiz .. samsung purty

jb touchwiz roms include Frosty, XquiziT xD, etc

jb aosp (pure google) roms include CM10 (clockwordmod), AOKP, lightningSmooth, etc

if you want it to "look and feel" like your sgs3 ... prolly want touchwiz

if you want latest android, 4.1.2 or even 4.2, "look and feel" like nexus ... then you want aosp

basically ... you have a look in the development threads at the roms, choose, create a full nandroid backup, factory reset, then flash the rom

so have a look at them here ... choose which you want to start with ... then I can help more :)

*hint* since t-mobile just updated their baseband to jb 4.1.1 wednesday, all of the devs are pushing out new, updated versions of their roms right now ... so it may be SAFER for the next week or so to try the AOSP based roms first ... not sure

before wednesday ... tmobile baseband was at LI6 and canadian is LH2

now they are at LJA and we are still at LH2 ... the gap is widening lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OptimusOBrien:
Yes I have cwm. I want one that is Google based and I have heard great things about CM10 So I would like to use that one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
good choice ... CM10 M2 Stable was just released nov 13 ... it is jb 4.1.2 I believe

ok LISTEN ... take this slow ... do everything IN ORDER ... and it can be complete easily and perfectly :)

it is not a great idea to do this here, in messages ... so preferably via phone or skype or something?

a great guide is HERE .. with video ... and links to the CM10 M2 stable rom and gapps are after the main posts ..

for now ... ONLY download the rom and gapps (to your sd card) ... watch the video if you like ... READ .. .carefully

DO NOT INSTALL yet

I would recommend these apps from the Play store:

- titanium backup (free) plus Pro key ($6.49 canadian)

- es file explorer (free)

- apn backup & restore by ritesh sahu (free)

FIRST ... the backups ....

in apn backup ... backup apn's (most tmobile/american roms will wipe out the apn list, this means no data (3g/4g))

in titanium backup pro:

- convert apn backup to system app

- backup all system+data

- export wifi ap's (+ other stuff if you want) to xml

nandroid backup !! this will backup your entire phone (except internal sdcard stuff, and not external sdcard) and provides a restore point safety valve :)

- make sure you have room on your internal sd card, or external (if your recovery supports it) ... samsung stock nandroid requires about 2.2 GB

- boot into recovery mode

- choose backup ... or backup to external sd card

- confirm .. yes ... backup

- it will take approx 5 minutes

- if you want to test it ... do a restore immediately ... if it says successful, it is a valid backup (recommended)

- do NOT proceed if you dont have a valid nandroid backup !!

THEN ... in recovery

- wipe data / factory reset (only needed when installing a rom different from current rom, not necessary when updating current rom)

- wipe cache

- advanced ... wipe dalvik cache

- now you can flash your rom and gapps (and titanium app if created update.zip from it)

- install zip from sdcard (or external sd card)

- choose the rom zip file

- confirm yes ... it will install

- go back

- install zip from sdcard (or external sd card)

- choose the gapps zip file .. on some roms, you may have to reboot into recovery after rom has booted and reinstall gapps

- confirm yes ... it will install

- go back

- wipe cache (yes, again)

- advanced ... wipe dalvik cache (yes again)

- reboot

the first load will take longer ... so be patient ... do not think you are bricked for at least 15 mins

it will ask some stuff ... to setup ... you can answer

but then leave the phone alone for at least 15 mins before you unlock the screen to have a look and setup ... it has stuff to do on first run :)

feel free to pm me if you would like to go phone/skype ... it is prolly better

DO NOT RUSH

enjoy :)

I'm not 100% sure but either you're not rooted, or you didn't manage to install CWM correctly.

If you don't turn off and and boot into recovery right away after flashing, it resets the recovery manager to the standard again.

If you were successfull it should clearly state Clockworkmod once in recovery.
