A question for the experts....

I have the shv-e210k (south korean s3) which has picked up the telstra (and now optus) 4g network, but only for data. I have to go to the hidden menu and enter LTE mode, and then it picks up 4g data just fine. But the phone can't make or receive calls. So I have to go back to "automatic" or "WCDMA only" for network selection, at which point I can get voice and data, but only 3G or G.

Can I flash the Optus S3 stock rom (from SamMobile) on my phone? The shv-210k has the right bands in the hardware, but I imagine the software has held it back from looking to 3g for voice when on 4g.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

You can only flash ROMs for your model, if you have an I9300 then that is the ROM you need. If not then no you can't. If I were you I would start here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1749214&highlight=e210
[Galaxy S III General] andrewrh3:
Thanks, sir. Yea, that's where I've been. Unfortunately, there isn't much there. I wish there was an xml file or something you could modify to tell the phone to search all bands in the hardware at all all time, but I have no idea how to do something like that.

Just to clarify shouldnt "automatic" be able to toggole 3G\4G and pick up when you are in a 4G zone?

You shouldn't have to manually switch to get a 4G connection, you just need to be in range.

I keep seeing different variations of this phone that support different frequencies yet they're all international. Any idea if ANY of the Int'l versions will support T-Mobile U.S. HSPA+ and/or LTE? I guess I'm having a bit of confusion over the different models and which (if any) will support the 1700/2100 MHz LTE or 1900Mhz HSPA+. I'm fine with HSPA+ as long as they don't start reapportioning that frequency to LTE (which I'm pretty sure they're planning on doing). I just don't want to be left behind at 42Mbps, or worse 21Mbps, while the world continues to forge ahead with faster speed on LTE. It looks like most other countries use the 1800MHz frequency for LTE but I feel like I've seen variations of the I9305 for other countries that support other frequencies for LTE.
[Galaxy S III General] prodigiez:
As for now , i9305 is for Asia - EU market. I9305 has almost same hardware with the Korean version E210S/L/K. The only thing different is the korean version come with a DMB HDTV receiver and that makes the korean ver slightly thicker. i9305 will only work with 800/1800/2600mhz LTE. There are few lte frequencies combination of i9305 sold in EU,OZ and Asia.. like 800/2600mhz lte , 1800/2600mhz lte and 800/1800/2600mhz lte.. i believe the asian and the au ver are same...and the eu ver uses 800/2600mhz lte

asian = hkg/sin ver
[Galaxy S III General] oswade:
I believe asian, au, and europe i9305 are all the same hardware, supporting 800/1800/2600mhz lte. Some people have been confused by wrong specs on pdadb (i haven't seen any good source suggesting that some are missing 1800mhz). As for korean versions, they do support different lte freqs depending on the model iirc, (and im not sure if all have the tvtuner...)
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
I dont beleive Pdadb.net. Why would they waste the money and make another version when they can just make One type .... I9305 = 800/1800/2600 Which covers it all This is what I think... They are all the same ****... International I9305 = 800/1800/2600 Makes the most sense
[Galaxy S III General] Steve113:
How about Samsung?

http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/smartphone/GT-I9305OKJOPS-spec

I think oswade is on the right track here. It will be good to shed some more light on the regions and LTE bands associated. Other than the LTE band difference are they identical devices in terms of hardware?
[Galaxy S III General] scelleradar:
Some of us living in Canada may be lucky and be able to utilize the 2600mhz frequency on Rogers or Bell network.
[Galaxy S III General] Badelhas:
That's the Australian samsung site. That could mean that the Australian roms are software limited to those 2 lte bands. But the hardware is there.
[Galaxy S III General] hero000:
Pay extra money ya get what you want. If I knew that in first place that Samsung is going to release similar device with higher ram and 4G support I would never buy this phone. Any way at the end of the day we customers always suffer. Every day New devices are introduced in the market.
[Galaxy S III General] grayfox_one:
I want to buy an S3 and discovered that i9305 version, which seems slightly better. The thing is that I am in France and there is no LTE as of now. SFR will launch it next month in Lyon, but Paris - where I live - might be the last city (rumors say Summer or Fall 2013). I also intend to spend some time in Canada and the US in 2013, but I understand that the most you can get with the i9305 in the US is 3G+ with AT&T, and you could get it with the i9300 as well. I don't know so much about Canada, but in any case, I feel like I really shouldn't count on LTE and therefore my choice should be made for the other updates, like the 2 GB RAM.

The chepeast i9300 I found (excluding HK stuff) is a brand-free one on Amazon for 494 EUR

The cheapest i9305 I found (excluding HK stuff) is an unlocked Vodafone-branded german one on eBay (I live near the physical store just accross the border, though) for 549 EUR

1) I am wondering if the 2GB RAM (and JB ?) is worth the extra 55 EUR, especially considering the Vodafone bloatware that I will have to deal with if I go for the i9305, and the fact that I would trade a warranty via Amazon for some hazardous relationship with a german shop who sold me an unlocked software-branded phone ?

1b) Speaking of warranty, is it really necessary? I mean, if I break it, they would not do anything anyway, right ? So, what is it really for?

2) Is there anything I should know about german (or other) Vodafone-branded phones?

3) If I want to get rid of the bloatware, are there good i9305 ROMs already?

Thanks!

Hi... first of all I'd like to mention that I tried a couple of searches to check if there is a thread specific for LWP requests but haven't found any yet... if there is one and I missed, I'm sorry and please redirect me to the correct place. :good:

Moving on... I've searched all over for The Walking Dead live wallpapers and can't seem to find any. I also tried to see if there was a way to make them myself but honestly I'm not that tech-pro, so no go on that plan either. What I've done is cut the two clips that I was thinking on using for my wallpapers and place them a zip file in the hopes that someone out there might want to help me. I'm not sure if I should've done it like I did (quicktime video) of by doing a PNG sequence... if that would be better please let me know. I'm using a Walking Dead lockscreen image (I'll post the image here as well), so my idea was to have that lockscreen and when I unlock, the live wallpaper comes in with the zombie moving there. Anyways... I'd appreciate any help on this.
[Android Apps and Games] needshelp101:
Ohhh I so want that too :) great idea. I'd there a way we can have one wallpaper set up for the lock screen, and a different one for the home screen? I mean you could probably use a lock screen replacement.
[Android Apps and Games] emv1031:
Yeah... sorry I think I might've not explained myself very well on that part. I actually AM using the app widgetlocker and at this present time do have a lockscreen wallpaper and a completely different homescreen wallpaper set up. My insterest is mostly in being able to get that The Walking Dead Live Wallpaper done. I think i'd look cool with the "Do not open, dead inside" lockscreen and then when I unlock the phone there's the zombie moving in the Live Wallpaper.

Thx

Thanks... looks like that did the trick.. It'd be nice to have an actual apk for the wallpaper, but until then I think Video Live Wallpaper should work, I'll just have to monitor how it affects my battery...

Wtf is wrong with stock? I run rooted stock and I'm completely happy with it. What exactly is she using the phone for? If she isn't an enthusiast like most of us, she wouldn't be able to tell the difference. If all she is doing is texting, using social networking, watching videos, and talking, stock is fine. If you're feeling risky, experiment.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
I would guess CM, but I don't know how far along in development CM10 is. I'm sure there is something out there. There are just so many ROMs it isn't even funny.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Personally, if you want stability, I'd rock CM10 or AOKP.

Many of the others are simply mashups if the two; and while that isn't necessarily a bad thing, I put my full trust in Roms who have written the majority of their own code rather than Cherry Picking commits from others.

In the long run, it's her/your choice.

But I've had great success, personally, with AOKP.

That being said, my bread-and-butter may not match yours.

The best bet would be to teach her how to flash Roms herself so she can try each one for a day or so.

Post two of the guide in my sig would be a good place to send her.

She can then get herself up and running; and won't have to continually rely on you.

Just got a one x today and I'm looking to unlock bootloader and load a custom Rom which Rom is best? And how do I unlock bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] E.Cadro:
Because it a rogers device you can just go to htcdev and unlock the bootloader no hoops to jump through like us att owners. As gar as rom that's like asking what's the best car It's all a matter of what you your looking for in a rom. Read the through the dev section and original dev section and try a couple roms.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Athrun88:
Need more information I think. There are a few ways of achieving what you want to do.

First way has already been posted. Basically, go to htcdev.com and unlock your bootloader. After, boot into fastboot and push a custom recovery then use that to flash a custom rom.

Second way, if you have firmware version 1.85 (i believe), you can root your current stock rom by following the instructions in the dev section. At that point, you can download goomanager from the Play Store to flash a custom recovery. You can then go and unlock the bootloader then flash a custom rom.

Of the two routes, the first one is best because it exposes you to setting up your USB drivers, bootloader, ADB and fastboot. Increases your overall knowledge instead of blindly using a "one-click" method where you don't know what you may or may not be doing to your device.

Have fun!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xhao1108:
second way is not applicable because Rogers only have 1.73 and 1.94. If you are installing a custom rom, there is no need to root first. Go to HTC dev to unlock bootloader, then flash recovery, then flash root through recovery, then flash rom, done.

I personally recommend an update to 1.94 (by rogers) before the process for newer components here and there. ROMs only have system and boot image, radios are flashable, but I've heard that there are about 11 things that are done through RUU, the official updates.

this is personal, but...King Cobra IMO has a better canadian localization, and is more stock while being stable and smooth.

It's de-odexed, so more freedom for mods.

I used to stick with CleanRom, then fell to Cobra for the new base from Germany.:p

All depends on what works for you. Don't be afraid to try multiple roms before getting the one that works for you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Grnfinger:
King Cobra is the best for Canadians looking for 100% reliability.

As for OPs questions, all your answers are in the dev section. Would recommend reading gunnymans thread quick and dirty adb.

It will help familiarize yourself with common commands. Its very easy and the hardest part is choosing a rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
I agree and disagree, since moving from 1.73 it's going to be as stable as any other ROM out there as far as Canadian compatibility. These new leaks on cobra and nocturnal are surprisingly stable so you really can't go wrong picking your first ROM.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GibMcFragger:
I am on a Rogers One XL. I recommend Nocturnal Special Edition. It's the most stable and the fastest.

I ran older versions of King Kobra and they were great as a starter, but I moved to Nocturnal and haven't looked back.

You can't go wrong with either of those or Cleanrom though. All the roms in here are really good. We may not have as many as the international One X, but our devs kick ass.
