[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hogir:
I would like to carrier unlock my SGS3 without rooting it. Is there a way to do so? I am willing to pay for such a service.

I will buy the phone from Comviq (Tele2) in Sweden.

Anyone who have tried one of those online services where you buy an unlock code?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunglebp:
Code will work but Rooting is easy :)

[QUOlebp;30607435]Code will work but Rooting is easy :)[/QUOTE]

I know rooting is easy but I don't want you do it. I have to unlock it "legaly"

Is there a tested website that we know work?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Legally ask network to unlock it .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hogir:
They won't. You need to have the phone at least a year before they give you the code. Does anyone know a trusted website where you can unlock the international SGS3?

BTW! Can someone give me the link to "rooting method" carrier unlock? I might just root it if I can't find a trusteed website.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaptenSopprot:
(Borrowing thread)

Hi! I'm thinking about getting myself an Galaxy S3, but the one I've been offered is locked to another swedish carrier. I'm using Telia and the phone is locked to "3".

Is there a great carrier unlock-software with minor (or no at all) bugs or required reboots? I'm also thinking about installing Cyanogenmod or another Custom ROM to it..

Is this the one and only great solution that fits me the best?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Peoples should stop to use this fix that may be dangerous in some case

Better to stick with GalaxSim Unlock for now
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
I have not found my answer from hours and hours of searching. You do not need to unlock phone before SIM install but you do have to change apn settings
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
finally had a friend on facebook call them for me and trouble shooted im good to go no unlock needed for ATT or Tmobile
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
Not bad considering on only paying $45 a month
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] entropism:
I iwsh I would have seen your question, could have let you known that. AT&T MVNOs don't need an unlock code for AT&T phones. Sorry i couldn't help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
I've ready WAY too many bad reviews of straight talk to cancel my AT&T plan and use their network. All the reviews state that you get what you pay for, half the price, half the service. If anything goes wrong with their service they provide zero help. I'm not sure how they can get away with tagging onto other service providers networks. I'll just use my company's 22% discount and keep my grandfathered unlimited plan.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
Today is day three and I can honestly say that I love it it's just like having my old plan we do not have LTE here anyways but now I have unlimited minutes unlimited text and 4g Internet which is plenty for me even if it is only 2.5 or so gigs. Everywhere I used my phone besides my car has Wi-Fi access so I'm constantly connected to Wi-Fi saving about $100 a month on my plan is absolutely amazing to me and I will use that money for other things. The only downfall is I lose my warranty from my cell phone and I also do not get upgrades but that's okay. Saving over $1200 a year is good enough for me. Unlimited text messaging and 3 GB Internet cost me more than this whole plan itself
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ant_129:
My wife was on it for a month with the iPhone 4. She claims she had a lot of problems with SMS, MMS (had to hack it to work), calling and data. Things that never happened to her before. To me is sounded like issues I always had with At&t, I recently switched to a company phone I personally can't comment on the service. I had another friend that switched his wife over also and for the most part she hasn't had many issues but there are some. I will be switching her over to T-Mobile prepaid next week (with the Galaxy Nexus :victory:).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] entropism:
She had issues with the MMS because it was a known issue between iPhones and MVNOs. There are guides out there, but yeah, iPhones need to be jailbroken to work properly.

As for the service, ST is excellent, if you know what you're doing. You're paying $45/month, but you're on your own. Don't expect tech support for network issues (which AT&T's idiots can't give anyways), but calls, coverage, speeds are all the same as AT&T's HSPA network.

TBay, as far as how they "get away with" providing their service, are you unaware of how MVNOs actually work?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
Not really, could you tell me? All I have heard is that they use other network providers cell towers for service. Seems sketchy to me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
All I know is it feels just like my old AT&T service but at 1/3 of the price. I had att for 5 years and I notice no difference
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bravomail:
I have ST working on locket AT&T SGS3.

However.

From the start I had issues activating my SMS and data (it was on older Captivate phone). It took me and ST three weeks to figure it out. So if u r patient - go with ST. I got their 1 year prepaid (slightly cheaper than monthly).

T-mo offers 100min/UnlimSMS/UnlimNet for $30/mo prepaid. Good for teens.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
I would rather have the T-Mobile plan instead of what I have but I love AT&T service I do not get T-Mobile service at all at my job and I get maybe one bar at my house . AT&T and Verizon are the only two companies that work at my job everything else there's no signal
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cheetablaze:
Last time I thought about moving to ST I had to buy a $199 phone just to get the sim card. Has it changed to where I can get a sim card without buying a crap smartphone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Riyanweb:
Yes
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
Yes I'm using my sgs3 with their micro SIM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 11fabe:
well this is my experience with straight talk

i been using it for a year i first start with the original nokie e71 it was good but i wanted something more like android...so i did buy a lg thrive on gophone store...put my sim on it and everything was working plus i was using android on at&t network for only $45+tax before i was paying between $100 and $120 for a 3G phone it was good excellent customer service but too much for my pocket...

ok then i decided to try a better phone samsung infuse i sold the lg and i got the infuse even better i was getting speeds 4mb average on 4G now i had use too many phones..galaxy s2 ,galaxy 2skyrocket,iphone4 and now my galaxy sIII which gave me speeds maximun at 11MB at my town no problems with straight talk the only thing that frustrate is monitoring data you should not use more that 2g at month or 100mb at day..but come on for $45 1/2 of the price i did pay for the same service...

OK...I'm no noon but I'm having issues getting my data to work on my SSG S III. I have all the settings in APN changed to match card. And allso tried removing 1st proxy.. but it will not connect to the network... phone finds 2 at@t and a t mobile network but will not conect and phone does not find the home network that my old s2 had...any help and idea would be welcome... any flamers or trolls would be welcomed as well as long as there is useful info...thanks guys and gals...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daddymatt:
These are the settings you have to use to get full data and mms on Straight Talk. I've used them for a year and that's what's in my sgs3 now and I pull 4mb minimum. Also, you can't use "apn changer", you have to do it manually because AT&T or Sammy (not sure which one) has it blocked. Just go into mobile settings/apn and add new apn and make these two different apns, save them, and just choose HOME after you go back out and you'll be good to go.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daddymatt:
Also, if your on a Sammy rom in the first apn just choose "internet" instead of "default,supl" and it will still work fine.

My S3 is unlocked and rooted but I still can't delete or change the original ATT APN. Opening it, all settings are grayed out. If anyone has any ideas of how to get rid of that apn please let me know.

Anyone on ST and running AOKP/CM10 having problems with connecting to data after being on WiFi? Not surenif it's my APN or what but only happens on Jelly Bean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AzHavicx:
I'm on CM10 and this is how my APN is set up and I have no transition issues from wi fi to data..

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbh87:
Is that any different than the preconfigured APN in CM? I'm back in Touchwiz so can't check. I wonder if it is just my area or SIM card. What is weird is it only does it on AOSP Jelly Bean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
Use this one^ this one had no problem going from Wi-Fi to tower the one that straight talk gives you to set your APN as does have problems connecting
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbh87:
Thanks guys. Gonna give it a try.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AzHavicx:
I had to delete the preconfigured one and re due to those settings pluss had to delete at@t pre configured
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbh87:
I added the one you said it still doesn't seem to be any better for me. Gonna try messing with some settings and hope for the best. If nothing works then I will probably buy a new SIM and hope it fixes it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
You can always toggle data for a few sec then turn it back on
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbh87:
toggling data never seems to work. usually have to put it into airplane mode or reboot. it annoys the crap out of me lol.

Try toggling it for 20 sec

I tried to put ST card in Tmobile Samsung S2 and wouldn't work, it requested pin unlock.

Are u guys sure Tmobile S3 doesn't need to be unlocked to work on ST, because I want to get one

and so far I was only looking for ATT & Tmobile unlocked units.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbh87:
It wont work no matter how long I wait. I deleted every APN except the ST one and it seems to be a little better for whatever reason.

Were you trying it with an AT&T or TMo StraightTalk SIM card? If you were trying it with an AT&T one then the phone would have to be unlocked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
You are incorrect mine is not unlocked and I'm using straight talk
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daddymatt:
A Tmobile s2 or s3 needs a Tmobile st sim.. an att s2 or s3 needs an att st sim. End of story. They are set up to have the original carriers info so the phone doesn't know the difference.. if you put an att st sim in a Tmobile phone it will ask for the unlock code and vice versa.

Sent from my SGSIII
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbh87:
Mine isn't unlocked either but he said he was trying it with a TMo phone. Unless you have a TMo GS3....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] deserthi:
Straight will work on either one but I have the att model and it works just fine. I can't speak for the t-mobile but if it is unlocked it should work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daddymatt:
you'll have to get the straight talk tmobile version of the sim card if you are using a tmobile gs3 and want data... unless the bounty thread for unlocking the radios has succeeded. using an att sim in a tmobile phone is like trying to listen to an fm radio station on an am radio.. the radio IS there but to my knowledge they havnt activated it... everybody understands that straight talk sells different versions of their sims right? they sell a tmo version and an att version... theres a reason why they do that. maybe we are all saying the same thing and im just confused.. not uncommon. :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] funziebear:
This isn't true I'm using a tmobile s3 unlocked and I still get decent data 8 download 1-upload , 45 bucks can't go wrong , no need to change any radios just unlock and ur good to go
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] deserthi:
how about going the other way. I want to use the T-mobile 100 talk, unlimited 4g data, unlimited talk ($30). I have an unlocked, rooted ATT 3GS. Will I be able to use the T-mobile sim and service with my ATT GS3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dj_spore:
I would like to do this also, but as far as I can tell (and correct me if I'm wrong) you COULD activate tmo service on an unlocked AT&T S3, but would only get EDGE data.

The exception is if you live in an area where they have converted the old 1900mhz band to 3g/4g. According to t-mobile, that will be in most cities by the end of the year, mainly in order to support the iPhone. I cannot seem to find any official map of where this has happened or is happening. I would love to see the 1700mhz band unlocked for the at&t s3 just to have the option.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nellycruzz:
If I have a standard ST Sim, can't I get it cut to fit my s3 that getting tomorrow?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daddymatt:
Yes, I have a cut card in mine right now. Find somebody with a punch.. it looks like a mini stapler.. they work perfect.. you could always use a razor though.. any chance your in the Macon/Atlanta area you can come by my shop and I'll do it for you.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] entropism:
I had a mini AT&T SIM that I used as a template, and cut a ST and T-Mo sim around that to test if my phone's unlock code worked. Worth a shot
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] deserthi:
I just spent the last few hours on my office blackberry trying to get a t-mobil sim to work in my unlocked ATT S3. All we could get was edge. I even drove a couple of miles to where they said they had 4G and still just edge. The tech did everything he could think of but no matter how many time we reset things, nothing. Finally he said that I should return my phone for a new one but I asked for a refund and got it and am now back on straight talk. I really wanted that $30 tmobile plan but no go on the att S3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
Correct edge only.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Najuto9tail:
I love straight talk is like having the best AT&T Unlimited Plan for only 45$...I have had no problems at all! Data works H+,SMS, Pictures on MMS, UNLIMITED Calls... here on PR they would charge me $50 for unlimited minutes and Text and $25 for only 2gb of Data... Which gives a total of $75 a month! Me and my wife both have At&t phones (bought from ebay), using straight talk 2 phones= $90. 2 phones with at&t = $150. 1 year on Straight talk = $1080 and if it was At&t = 1800. I am saving $720 Which on savings the phones have paid for itself already. It is smart option to use Straight talk.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dunlap92:
I have straight talk on I747 galaxy..... Been using it for two months... No problems... Wife sold her iphone4 and bought galaxy 3s...switching hers as soon as her contract ends in May.. Love this phone and straight talk...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jc2470:
Tmobile and att bands are different for data that is why u could only get edge.

And as far as straight talk/tracfone goes they are actually using the full att/tmobile/verizon/sprint service, Some law that was passed made it that they had to wholesale the service to other providers same as landline companies.

Hi Guys,

Just got a new WiFi printer and was messing around and noticed that from the Default Samsung Gallery (Stock Samsung ICS 4.0.4) you cna only print to Samsung printers, however on my wifes HTC One S she can print to it (Epson sx435w).

I have downloaded the Stock Gallery and QuickPic but these do not have the Print facility.

Can anyone mod the Gallery for is there a port of the HTC one that would work?

Hi all,

I rooted my Nook Simple Touch via TouchNooter 2.1.31. No hitches aside from the Market giving me a Server Error just after installing, which cleared up the next day. Since now I have my email (and in the future other sensitive apps/info) on the Nook I would like to be able to lock the screen like a full Android phone or tablet. Is this possible? I don't necessarily mean having the exact same way of locking (i.e., press the power button and the screen locks) but at least an app for doing that would be great. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Either do this on the Nook in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/

Or else adb pull it, sqlite3 it, adb push it.
