Using my s3 in another country

Hey guys,

I have a telus galaxy s3 , I haven't done anything besides its own updates.

I'm going to Brazil in a couple of weeks and I'd like to purchase a prepaid SIM and use it there... will I be able to do so with my s3?

Thanks!

Is there a secret to using the GS3 outside in the sun? Inside the screen is second to none, but outside with screen turned up to 100 is horrible. I've already tried several anti-glare protectors but they don't help much. With my job, I'm outside half the day. Need solution, please
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] natefish:
This may sound like a dumb question, but are you wearing sunglasses when you are outside? If so, are they polarized lenses. Any sunglasses will affect how well you can see the screen, especially polarized ones. I've noticed the sunglasses effect on my own S3. When I'm not wearing them, brighness at 100% is fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Spikenv:
No I don't wear any sunglasses. I live in Las Vegas, lots of sun and hate what AG does to screen and color. I've tried Moshi and a few others but they don't help much with this screen. Just switched from ONE X, no AG at all never had to change from Atuo brightness inside or out. Handle the bright sun no problems.

Love this phone, I know the technically very well but it's almost unusable. I had read that this screen is not great outside, but thus far not really usable..

Actually, when you asked if I wear sunglasses. That's exactly what it looks like when using this phone and why I stopped years ago. However an Eye Doctor Who also makes prescription sun glasses, just might have a solution.

Seriously, thanks for the response.

I'm fairly new to android and am very stupid in it. I prefer TouchWiz because of the weather widget and calendar. I want to switch to a ROM other than TouchWiz though for the efficiency and better features. I also like the idea of using a launcher since you are able to universally get your setup on virtually any phone or device.

What is the advantage of using CM10 or AOKP vs TouchWiz. What am I gaining? I know what I'm losing and it's not much. But what are the GAINS? Is there a table of features or something? What is the most efficient? I tried them but I can't figure it out still? What am I missing?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Spikenv:
I'll leave the room questions for others. But I'd really read up on custom roms first. I'm not sure they're ready anyway.

I would strongly recommend using an ics launcher. There's two really good ones and I believe touchwiz widgets are still usable. Sorry just switched to the GS3

Download Nova or Apex. Free versions are fine and there about identical. Search for Nova Launcher.

Quick question for you all, I was looking at rooting my phone, and been doing lots and lots of reading and saw that if I want to flash a ROM, I need to install CWM on my phone in order to load any ROM's on it or anything really...

My question is, I have the Canadian Version of the GS3, the I747M, and found that it's a bit complicated to install on the phone? Is this true? Saw that its version 6.0.1.2 and 6.0.1.4 for Touch for the Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T) I747. Can I just follow the step by step and load this CWM for I747 on my phone, being its not exactly the same as the AT&T I747 phone since its a Canadian phone?

Is there something special I need to do to load 6.0.1.2 onto my I747M phone without any problems?

Thanks!

Rooting advice

I have been unable to find a thread that discusses my issue. Samsung GS3/AT&T (SGH-i747) I have been using a stock ROM rooted until AT&T pushed an OTA update to 4.0.4 baseband I747UCLH9. Now Superuser logs show Superuser, Avast and ES Task Manager had root access accepted, but Titanium and another app (Root Checker) are being denied.

a. am I still rooted and just need to tweak something?

b. If i re-flash superuser will I be sorry?

I don't really want to flash a new ROM or wipe. Any advice including links and steps would be greatly appreciated.:highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
As far as recoveries and ROM the Canadian version s and the AT&T version are the same. Installations are the same. Its the modems you need to be careful of and any stock firmware/ ROM that have modems included, these are not interchangable. Hope this answers your question.

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

Go into the Superuser app and grant access from there. If its working for some it should work for all. When you open the app there should be a list of granted and denied. Press on the ones denied and grant access. Should work....I hope lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NVWSSV:
I thought the same thing, however all are set to allow. I tried to update Superuser and it says SU has been denied SU permissions.

When I run Titanium, it throws an error that it "could not acquire root privileges...this attempt made using 'system/xbin/su' command".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] natefish:
I use an AOKP rom, but I have also used AOSP and CM roms. I am really enjoying the AOKP and AOSP. It feels more efficient and snappier. I also like that I can back up the whole system and restore a little easier with Titanium Backup on these roms. Also, you can change a LOT of settings to your liking and the rom developers and add a lot more options. In particular, I like the ability to setup settings profiles within the rom settings. You can even write the profile to an NFC tag straight from the settings app.

Drawbacks: There is a little bit of a learning curve with the settings, but not much. Some of the Samsung bloat apps like Allshare may have to be added afterward, depending on the rom. If you are a big Bluetooth user (which I am), some roms are having A2DP issues right now due to the CM nightlies having a bug on A2DP. The pre-9/25 CM nightlies do NOT have this issue, so I am currently quite happy with the Team Asylum rom that is dated 9/23. I check the other roms almost every day and so far nothing has made me want to give this one up. Happy flashing.

coming from cappy... and have an upgrade...

Have an upgrade on the account, want to move on from my captivate...

So the quick:

I727 SGS2 - $1 upgrade cheap and much closer to the size of my captivate.

or

i747 SGS3 - $200 upgrade expensive bigger than my captivate.

NOTE: Price doesn't effect the decision very much... Best suited phone wins...

Will use it for forum reading (mostly at night before bed), texting (whatsapp, google talk) and extended periods of music listening per day (pandora and personal MP3).

Keep in mind I'm a mechanic and this phone will be strapped to my hip all day. (playing music through headphones most of that time)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MadGoat:
Thanks, i'll look into the sgs3 ...

02 sensors are generally around $70 for the part and if you have a jack, a 7/8 end wrench...( maybe a decent set of basic tools)... you can do it yourself. (provided you research "where" the 02 is located.

cars have a "before" and "after" o2 sensor. (before and after the catalytic converter). be sure to get the right one as they are different parts.

As for a shop doing it? ... Job at its most should only ask for 1hr TOPS. Depending on the shop hr rate I would say probably around 160-200 for part+labor.

It's better if you actually wipe both ways. For example, when washing your hands, do you rub them in only one direction? I don't believe you do, you go back and forth(and round and round sometimes). Wiping only one way is not going to get your butt completely clean. If possible, use a "wipee" after wiping with normal toilet paper, it helps complete the cleaning. Example, it you got poo on your hand, you wouldn't clean it by just wiping it off with a dry piece of paper, you'd use soap or at least water.

Don't forget though, before trying any of this, do a nandroid backup!! In case anything goes wrong. (=

ROM manager doesnt support the S III for installing CWM as far as I can tell. I was told to install CWM originally this way yesterday, but I couldnt so I learned how to do it the manual way with ADB. The CWM install guide was written in july and linked me to the 5.5 CWM build, I assume it's been updated since then?

If I have 5.5 installed, is simply installing the new version over top of the old version with the same method the correct way to do it?

It seems the only way to swap pages while selection an icon is to hold the icon on its very edge and move it to the side of the screen... Only.. You also have to pray. And pray.. And pray because it only goes to the next Window once every 10 tries..
