Well there are plenty of advantages, it's just a case of whether you need or want them.

I rooted for only 2 reasons:

1. So I can set it to rotate on the home screen without having to use an alternate launcher.

2. So I can install apps I wouldn't be able to, such as those marked as incompatible or the stock jelly bean browser.

why samsung delays to release ics r jb rom for fit

...please let me know the reason
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Deshabilitado:
There's no ICS or JB for FIT, and samsung its not going to release it.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] lordsolrac2:
When 2.3.6 Was Released, they said there ISN'T Going to be ANY Official 4.0.x or 4.1.x For fit, Due to Hardware Limitations. I'm guessing the only way is through Custom ROM and, the developer quit ICS so he can develop JB ._. Which sorta pisses me off because he left with one major issue, the only issue (Camera). But there are other Custom ROM that are trying to "simulate" ICS :P

Howdy,

For testing purposes I want to load a pre-ICS ROM on my GalaxyS3. I need the flash built in that got dropped with ICS.

Has anyone tried this? If so, what are recommended ROMs?

If no one has done this, what ROMs are closest to what the S3 runs and would stand the greatest chance of working?

Thanks,

gingerbread rom for galaxy s3

to be equally fair, i'm in the same boat. i had a captivate for a while, loved the gb roms i flashed constantly to find my favourite. bought an s2 and absolutely love the phone. i hard bricked my previous s2, i dont think i had the right kernel, something i did was for a non canadian version of the s2. after i sold that one i bought another brand new s2. the s3 was around for a little while at this point but my girlfriend has a galaxy nexus and her sister an s3 and i just dont like the way ics and jb look, feel and operate. it felt like switching from windows to a mac after using windows for years. i would go to close a window and the 'x' was in the upper left and not right like windows.

its a personal opinion, i'm sure in many ways firmwares past gb are better in many quantifiable ways, but i just dont like em. not to mention the stupid physical home button like some loser iphone. i love the 4 backlit buttons that samsung uses on many devices like the blu ray player i have. it's just awesome.

anyway, long story short - is there any other demand worth warranting a dev to make a gb rom for phones past that version of android?

in closing, think of the amount of roms out there for the captivate which are based on froyo people still use. gb ics and even jb roms are available but many people still prefer the look and feel of froyo.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] geneing:
I've seen reports of Verizon having VoLTE in 2013. Does anyone have more information about this?

Will SGSIII support it? Can it be upgraded with just a software/firmware update?

Is there any information about CDMA <-> VoLTE handoff? (I've seen reports that VoLTE -> GSM is one way only).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] abissel22:
Wth is VoLTE?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JetBlue:
Voice over LTE and before somebody says 'I already can do voice over LTE' You're wrong since it's actually using 2G/3G for Voice. Metropcs is the first carrier to actually have VoLTE. Also, the S3 most likely won't have it but we can't be too sure since of how Verizon is but my guess is they'll make new phones that are specially made for VoLTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
I can't answer your question, but I do have a related question.

Other than presumably increasing call quality, what are the advantages of this?

Maybe battery savings / better 4g connectivity because radios won't have to even worry about 2g/3g, based on the assumption that 4g is implemented to the point where 4g will be available anywhere?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AtLemacks:
Really there is no advantage except to the carrier. What this means is that progressively Verizon can stop selling 2g/3g devices which will allow them to allocate that spectrum towards expanded LTE coverage. Lightening their own load more or less. I would suspect most current (Q4 '11 - present) should be capable, which would mean they could push an update if you are in an LTE coverage area. Now, when you leave that area you would go back to 2g/3g, at least until they expand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ekklesiaillusion:
Yeah its in korea..but that shows its more than capable
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AtLemacks:
Actually if you read, current models will receive an update in a few months. Devices being sold from here on out will have the capability out of the box. Not only that, the Korean model is nothing like ours, quad core with lte.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EvoSideHustlAZ:
Quad core with lte, mmm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ExodusC:
I would imagine to enable a technology like VoLTE all we would need is a software update.

I do hope Verizon rolls it out soon, as using actual voice calls on a phone after being used to VOIP methods of speech just makes the aged cellular voice network look shameful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
That would probably open up a whole can of worms in regards to net neutrality. If voice is going over the data connection then that would blow away any data cap in a few calls which means they wouldn't count it towards your cap which is discriminating data. Unless it works differently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Taehee.:
@OP: Without circuit-switched fallback, any VoLTE calls on Verizon would automatically drop when out of LTE range. The phone can't handoff the call from LTE to the CDMA radios.

Aren't all the major US carriers against net neutrality? The US government is in bed with the major carriers, so whatever they (the carriers) say goes.

This probably won't translate to the US, but the South Korean carriers that are now offering VoLTE charge the same price that they did for 2G/3G calls, which is about 9 cents/minute (as opposed to Verizon's 40 cents/minute)

Will VoLTE in the US really use that much data? I doubt it'd be more than 320 kbps (maximum quality for MP3 files). 2G/3G calling is like 5-10 kbps, if I recall correctly.

According to this article:http://www.koreaittimes.com/story/22840/skt-launches-world’s-first-hd-voice-over-lte

SKT (Korean carrier) does VoLTE at 23.85kbps using the AMR-WB codec.

23.85 kbps: 2.98125 KB/second > 178.875 KB/minute > 10.7325 MB/hour

2GB gets you ~186.35 hours (~11,180.99 minutes) of talk time.

for comparison:

128 kbps: 16 KB/s > 0.96 MB/m > 57.6 MB/h

192 kbps: 24 KB/s > 1.44 MB/m > 86.4 MB/h

256 kbps: 32 KB/s > 1.92 MB/m > 115.2 MB/h

320 kbps: 40 KB/s > 2.40 MB/m > 144 MB/h

EDIT

Also, assuming the AMR-WB codec (23.85kbps), $10 (1GB) should get you ~5,590 minutes. Under the current plan (40 cents/minute), that much talk time will run you ~$2,236.20. I really hope they don't charge for VoLTE separately. :X

Can someone check my math? (kbps=kilobits/second; KB=kilobyte; 8 bits=1 byte)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] squiggie:
mmm...is right. Quad core and LTE does not exist yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AtLemacks:
Interesting, I must just not know what I am talking about... -_-

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57467016-94/korea-gets-quad-core-samsung-galaxy-s3-on-lte/

Not to mention I lived in Korea for a year while I was in the Army, worked with Korean soldiers and still keep in contact with them. But they wouldn't know if they had a quad core phone with LTE on their own network...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] squiggie:
That makes no sense. Why would they not have released the quad core in the US with LTE. Do you have a link with a press release direct from Samsung? From what I have read, they are at a stand still for quad core and LTE working together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AtLemacks:
Why does it not make sense to release your proprietary hardware in your own country? It makes perfect sense. Google it. Besides, our builds were approved months ago by the FCC. Samsung may not have even had a completed product or working one at the time. There are hundreds if not thousands of good reasons we didn't get it. Their phone also may not support global bands like ours does, that is a key selling point to US consumers. Not to mention Verizon and they other carriers had their say so. I could keep going.

To use your own logic, why wouldn't they have released that version internationally? lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Taehee.:
Korea's LTE works differently from the US. Korean LTE is compatible with th Exynos 4412 (quadcore), but they need a separate 4G radio. Also, it has a DMB tuner (pretty standard in Korea), which is basically you get a TV broadcast on your phone (and I think it's free, too). The phone is 0.4mm thicker, though, making it 9mm as opposed to 8.6mm.

I'm actually in Korea right now on vacation (I'm Korean). There's an ad for the Galaxy S III LTE (quadcore) at pretty much every block in the street.

As for a link: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=galaxy+s+iii+quad+core+lte+korea

Pretty the whole first page of Google results for "galaxy s iii quad core lte korea" confirms the quad core lte version in Korea.

Honestly that's how much it's worth with an old Snapdragon S3 processor. I feel Galaxy Nexus for $350 is way better option than this especially when Note 2 will be announced this month.
[Member-Found Deals] deeken:
In what way is the Galaxy Nexus better? The Note has a faster processor, Bigger screen, SD Card support, better camera, stylus, etc. Also the unlocked GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus is HSPA+ while the Galaxy Note is 4G.

There is no way the Galaxy Nexus is a better choice than the Note, other than the fact that the screen size of the Note might be too big for some.
[Member-Found Deals] lowandbehold:
****...I wonder what phone is trying to fit in your pocket right now.
[Member-Found Deals] deeken:
I have the AT&T note and it fits fine. Never had an issue with the size. Yes at first I was like "Dayum!!!!" but after having it for a week I don't I could ever go back to a smaller screen.
[Member-Found Deals] lowandbehold:
Different strokes for different folks! I honestly think in the above comment that he was talking about resale value of the phone. The Note's value will drop significantly once the Note 2 is out. A GSM Nexus tends to hold it's value better.
[Member-Found Deals] deeken:
Common man, are you serious? Who buys a phone for resale value? This isn't a car. Unless you are psychic you can't accurately predict the future of both phones. Even though the Note 2 will be out soon, it might be sometime next year before US carriers pick it up. And another point I'm going to reiterate, the Note is 4G while the Nexus is HSPA+. 4G speeds are ridiculous and coverage is growing. The Nexus is already a dated phone.
[Member-Found Deals] lowandbehold:
I think you mean LTE, because HSPA+ is what the everyday consumer knows as "4G". I personally don't see a reason for LTE...on HSPA+ anything I need loads instantly. Touchwiz is also absolutely hideous. I will take stock Android anyday. I don't really see how the Nexus is a dated phone, as it can do anything the note can. You may be confusing the dated Nexus between your dated operating system. ICS is sooooo 3 months ago.
[Member-Found Deals] havikx:
Some one is a note fanboy. Ok. Why is nexus better? Updated from google. Period. End story. You guys just got ics. Nexus has been on jellybean. Note won't be getting jellybean.

But I'm not here to argue over which phone I'd get. My one s beats both of these.... But my girlfriend would be interested in a note, even if its dated by now.
[Member-Found Deals] lazarat:
Nexus price dropped 400$ in less than one year while note price dropped only 250. How does the nexus hold it's value better?
[Member-Found Deals] deeken:
There are plenty of crafty Devs that produce amazing ICS and JB ROM's for the Note. So whether it comes directly from google or not is irrelevant. There are no "Period. End story." You do not speak for everyone nor is your rebuttal the be all and end all.

Also I don't take too kindly to your fanboy comment. I'm comparing the benefits of one phone over another. I have no emotional attachment to my Note. If someone were to make an argument about the SGS III or the One X over the Note I would steer towards those phones. But when it comes to the Nexus, in my opinion (we all have one) I see no reason why it would be a better choice.
[Member-Found Deals] lowandbehold:
The Nexus price did not drop in value because of consumer demand. The Nexus price dropped because Google decided to subsidize the price of its hardware (like the Nexus 7 for $200). Google sells the Galaxy nexus for $350. You can very easily sell it on XDA, Craigslist, or any other site for $325. Please show me somewhere that you can sell a Note for $25 less than the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price. Which I believe is $599.99. Not only that, but I have had NUMEROUS offers for a straight trade for a Note.
[Member-Found Deals] deeken:
Just go on eBay and compare the prices of unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus's and unlocked Galaxy Note's. The Note's are priced ~$150-200 more.
[Member-Found Deals] lowandbehold:
Please note (no pun intended) that I said it holds the value better. And also be aware that there is a difference between the international note and the AT&T note (the at&t is the one with the ****** processor). I am sorry that Samsung wants to deeply inflate the retail price of their phones to give carriers the ability to charge more for the upgrade. That is neither mine or Google's fault.
[Member-Found Deals] deeken:
LOL. For a minute I thought you were pleading with the Note.

And I meant the unlocked 4G LTE Note, the AT&T version.
