Hi all, I've had a my gs3 (Used) for only a day and I'm pretty sure I broke the sim tray already.... The GS3 is only 3 months old, and I inspected it very thoroughly before purchasing it. The sim tray worked %100 when I was looking it over, the seller took his sim out, then I put my micro sim in. later that day.

Sometimes when I restart the phone it'll read the sim for 5 mins then say there isn't one inserted, but most of the time it just says no sim inserted. I tried another sim and it still says it... Any other idea I should try before I buy replacement sim tray? I can't see any visible damage and I can't check to see if the flex cable is loose. (But then my microsd card slot wouldn't work right?)

So I've got an issue, and it's being a real pain.

I just got my GS3 today and went to install my sim card from my infuse 4G. The card in my infuse is not a micro sim card so I simply cut my sim card to fit the size necessary for the GS3 (used another microsim card as a template) and everything went fine-and-dandy. I turn on my phone, calling works, texting works, but... low and behold no data. Wifi works, but not the data.

I've tried changing the APN settings to several different configurations but get nowhere. Any ideas? (and with my infuse I got HSPA+ in this same location I'm in with the GS3)

Missing Photos and Videos - Internal Storage

Hi,

I have a S3 on the Telus network with paranoid Android 2.1 Jelly Bean. Somehow all of my photos and videos are missing on the internal storage (DCIM\Camera folder is empty). I assume they were somehow deleted, so I tried an undelete app but it did not find anything. Any suggestions? I am unable to run any undelete programs on my computer as I am unable to connect the phone in USB Mass Storage. Only options are MTP and PTP. Any help is greatly appreciated.

So, I have tried googling and searching this site for answers, but found nothing. I keep losing root privileges on my AT&T Galaxy S3 after flashing CM 10 nightlies. I tried using clockwork recovery (version 6.0.1.2) to install superuser 3.0.7 (again, since it was already installed) to gain root access, but that has not worked. What can I do to regain root?

I know of that line way too well. Spent hours with samsung over the phone, when I was finally ready to send it in under warranty, that's when they tell me the warranty is only good for the original owner.

I told them how I bought it from day one. They wait until hours wasted over the phone with them to tell me. I lost it on them. Samsung makes great products, but their customer service is by far the worst I have ever dealt with.

You know how in TWRP it gives you 5 options on what to backup (system, data, boot, recovery, cache). Which ones should I backup. Obviously system, and data but what about the other 3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jridda10121:
Yes you are right but would.it still have to be AT&T ROMs because there is like 8 different variants. For example I could not flash I9300 ROMs because it is a different variant I think I am answering my own question Rom is nothing to do with carrier. Apns on unlocked phones have to be researched to I would think. Or does SIM card configure radio bands with gsm?this is a interesting question I'm just dumb with typing it to make sense.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Okay, you're on the right track but mixing issues. The AT&T ROM is really just a variant of the basic Samsung ROM customized for carrier. Which is to say, the ROM is the same but with different carrier apps, which they pay lots of money to have included. The appropriate ROM is dependent on the model of phone, so with S3 the I19300 (internationa) is different in terms of hardware than, say, AT&T (I747). SIM has nothing to do with frequencies of phone. APNs only change in terms of carrier if there are differences of configuration. I have an unlocked AT&T S3 that runs fine with T-mobile as is, but it doesn't use T-mobile data, which might make a difference (I've never checked this).

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
The frequencies are hardware related and S3 is a world phone with four frequencies that include most, if not all, countries (EDGE / GPRS (850 / 900 / 1,800 / 1,900 MHZ; HSPA+21 850 / 900 / 1,900 / 2,100). What you will need is a SIM for the carrier in the country you are in. Prepaid SIMs are readily available everywhere, and will become even more so in the US because the big carriers are currently losing business to carriers with prepaid plans.

I'm pretty sure some of you will be laughing at your screen, but I was just wondering: I know how to flash a different ROM onto my phone so that's a start. I was just need to find a way to restore my old contacts, apps, messages etc. I already have a backup of all my stuff in a zip on my SD card but if I select to restore it, then I lose the ROM and it goes back to stock JB rooted. If anyone can help that'd be much appreciated. Also I have used Titanium Backup but when I made a backup of all my apps and stuff, when I went to restore it on the ROM, there was an error. Any help is appreciated!:)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
The issue is how you are backing up. A nandroid will restore everything, overwriting ROM. If you use TB, depending on which ROM you change from and which one you change to, it can result in errors (going from AOSP to AOKP or vice versa, for example). Better to stay within same ROM source and use recovery (such as CWM) backup and then advance restore of DATA only. But even this will be a problem if you cross over to ROM from another source. Apps, configurations and data are in DATA partition.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Elstevo001:
So basically, if I use Titanium Backup to backup all my data, then it will work if I stay within the same ROM source? Also is Stock AOKP or AOSP? Your info was greatly appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oddspec:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oddspec:
U can back SMS messages from hitting the menu key in tibu and selecting back up to XML and select messages and restore the same way . contacts r easy just go into ur phone menu just sync with ur Google acct and once u flash the ROM it should auto sync the first time u set up the phone in the setup wizard

Well, my experience with restoring data (CWM advanced restore) when switching from AOKP to AOSP has been errors, with services stopping, and many devs recommend not restoring from TB when changing ROMs in general. You can try it, but be prepared to reflash ROM and not restore if it doesn't work.
