[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you are rooted the first thing to try would be to flash each of the radios in the dev section. Could solve your problem right there.

If that doesnt check your build.prop and try a few of these values:

ro.ril.gprsclass=12; 30;31;32;33;34

ro.ril.hsxpa=3

ro.ril.hsdpa=26;28;30;32;34;36

ro.ril.hsupa=7;8;9

You will only use one number at a time for each. I listed multiple as any one of them can be best for you in your location.

My recommended starting values for testing are as follows:

ro.ril.gprsclass=32 then 12, 30, 34

ro.ril.hsxpa=3

ro.ril.hsdpa=28 then 32, 34, 30

ro.ril.hsupa=9 then 7, 8

Good info about these are on Wikipedia.

You will need to reboot after each change for it to take effect. Time and data consuming to test, but it might help you out.

Thats just my recommended testing method. You can of course jump around as much as you wish!

Make sure there is a blank line at the end of the build.prop and also check for and delete duplicate entries.

If all else fails go to tmobile before selling it. Ive heard of a number of people getting replacements for stuff like this, even after the remorse period. If you can get an S3 going good itll blow that S2 away! I see no reason why the S2 should be significantly better in any area!

Good luck!

[Galaxy S III General] lucid88:
I have a problem!! I'm stoked on Android, havn't had a phone in a very long time and now its time to get one! I'm trying to decide on which one to get... I've had my eyes on the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 and was certain this is the perfect one...

however now i realize that it doesn't have the hspa 1700 band which is used by T-mobile, and I-wireless.. both of which offer a $50/month unlimited text/talk/web plan... and this is the carrier I'm going to choose, as AT&T is my only other choice, they charge $75/month for unlimted talk text, and 1gig of web! plus i used AT&T before i don't like em!

So then I look at the US version, has dual core instead of quad, which i hear isn't much of a difference right now.. and has 2gigs of ram.. which doesn't help much... AND has an inferior audio chip... which sucks because i plan on using this as my main mp3 player as well! Im quite the audiophile and planned on getting some vsonic earphones!

So then theres the Galaxy Nexus... MUCH cheaper... Has all the bands i need... Made from google... Not sure on the quality of audio chip but i think i read its not great... had quite a smaller screen, especially due to the software keys... AND has no MicroSD :(

So my question for you guys, since i havn't used a cell phone for like 4 years... Should i sacrifice the quad core and Wolfson audio chip for a 3g network? or is 2g decent speed? I'm assuming most of my net use i would be near a wifi anyways... and how much inferior is the audio quality on the US version?

I'm thinking the 2g network is prbly a decent speed now that its offloaded to the 3g and 4g bands...

So far I'm thinking im going to go with the International version and sacrifice internet speeds... I don't plan on youtubing/streaming/downloading lots of stuff when im away from a wifi anyhow, If anything just simple web browsing... and whatever Apps i get myself consumed iN! ><

Whats your guy's input and experience on this?? I registered just to know :D
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Tmo are refarming their 1900mhz band to 3g in the next few months so you'll have 3g on tmo. Some places already have been switched over.

[Galaxy S III General] lucid88:
sweet, i do plan on using the phone for as long as i can... Im from cali but im in Iowa right now, so I'll be on I-wireless until i go back to cali... Is I-wireless doing the same? i know their affiliated...

I like that quote, can you explain its relevance? and that symbol in as your avatar icon is painfully familiar.. what is that?
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
If i wireless use tmo's network then I'm guessing it'll be the same for them, although it wont be for a few months, its a work in progress.

The quote is from the TV show "The Wire" and the avatar is the Greek symbol "phi" (uppercase) and in mathematics it is the symbol for the golden ratio, which is all around us in nature and architecture. (Its the lowercase one technically but I like the uppercase one)

"You come at the king, you best not miss." - Omar Little.
[Galaxy S III General] lucid88:
Ah, yea i was gona guess phi.. wasn't sure..

Well i hope so... I guess the Int version it is!! It should last me a long time then, as the quad core has yet to be fully utilized by the OS and Apps... My phone will get better over time :D

Another thing, I plan on using Cyanogen mod, I know because of the undocumented proprietary pins on the S3, i wont be able to use the MHL cable to link to my tv using cyanogen mod... Would cyanogen mod effect my wolfson audio chip in anyway? I'm hoping it would make it better but i skimmed over something about some voodoo audio thing that makes it worse?

I guess all i need to decide on now is which case i want, which screen protector is best... and Pebble blue orrr Pearl white... Im leanin towards blue :P
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Ya the mhl thing is known, as for the sound, the cm team use am open source audio hal and the sound is just as good as stock (I think) and voodoo sound once it is released will be amazing, supercurio (voodoo dev) can work wonders with the Wolfson DAC.

You should try out stock Samsung ROMs for a while, they aren't that bad and the JB ones are nice and smooth and fast and have all of the Samsung extras.

"You come at the king, you best not miss." - Omar Little.
[Galaxy S III General] lucid88:
Yea I plan on using the stock samsung rom for MAYBE a month... just to make sure i don't have a lemon... also want to test and see how well the stock rom works to choose for myself which is better. I just want to flash it asap though because i don't want all the bloat that comes with it... We'll see :D stoked.... I understand i risk the chance of bricking my phone, but once i get it unlocked and put clockwork recovery on it, can i do any damage from trying a bunch of different roms? as long as i make sure the rom is for the I9300?
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Not really, if you follow the instructions then it'll be smooth sailing.

Flash the wrong firmware or something like that and there'll be trouble alright.

I came from the galaxy nexus to this and I loved aosp but for the last month or two I've been using touchwiz ROMs, I just delete all the bloat from it first.

They have usable ram up from 778mb to 833mb now in the JB leaks.

I'll be sticking with Sammy ROMs from now on.

[Galaxy S III General] techs1200:
I live in the Princeton, NJ area and already have TMobile 3g coverage in the 1900mhz band.

2G (edge) is terribly slow. I wouldn't recommend it.

You can also look into straight talk, which uses AT&T's bands and provides 3G. I think its like $45 for unlimited talk, text and 3G data. The unlimited data is capped at 5GB and then they throttle you down (or so I have heard). So why do they call it unlimited data then right? Right....
[Galaxy S III General] lucid88:
oh hey thanks man, straight talk slipped my radar... they arent out here in Iowa but oh well. I'll likely use them when i go back to cali if T-mobile's 3g network ain't up and running in my area yet.

zip or tar the OS, put it into memory, possibly the sd card, and unzip/untar and just attempt an install?

I have the similar issue on my Note 10.1 - the browser is the biggest 'flasher' and it seems random. I called Samsung support - They had me reset to factory and the issue went away, but eventually came back. I don't want to have to keep resetting to factory as that is painful for me to reconfig everything and I tend to believe that if I restore to ClockWorkMod backup, the issue will still be there.

Unfortunately, you have lost root access and currently there are no methods available for you to regain root access. Your mistake was flashing your tablet using the OTA update file as-is instead of using Condi's AiO tool to pre-root the OTA update file

before

flashing your tablet.

Hey guys,

I know there are plenty of people working on finding a method for root, it's difficult, not trying to ask when it's going to be or why it's taking so long. I'm just wondering if it will even be possible, given HTC doesn't ever unlock the phone themselves. I love the One X, just got it and I think it's great, but I know that I'm going to eventually want to install MIUI or CM, and since my phone has 2.2 there's basically no way to do that right now.

Reading through some of the dev/think tank threads, I've read a couple of comments alluding to the idea that it might be impossible unless HTC unlocks it, and that they might not. Seems contrary to what I've seen in the past, pretty much every phone I or my friends have had got cracked at some point. Still, if it's not going to be possible ever, I might want to return my phone and switch it out for the SGS3 or some other.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I tried to Google for unrootable android phones and couldn't find any. However the percentage of devices using ics is very small and the only ones that have root as far as I can tell all have unlocked bootloaders.

It's very difficult to remain positive but I'm trying.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ksnax:
Y'all are so impatient!

Like any security, it just takes enough careful effort and determination to defeat. As great as the One X is, I have no doubt there will be enough of both to get this done. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I don't have the technical expertise to really say. But just from experience, I can say that HTC has been desperately trying to lock down their phones for over 2 years (maybe longer, that is justs when I jumped into the Android game) with some pretty sophisticated safeguards, and the phones have still been rooted, often very quickly. I don't think HTC has magically gotten better at securing their devices, to the point that the phone is now impossible to root. In particular, our device was rooted (1.73 firmware) something like 3 days after it was released, even with the locked bootloader and all the security that HTC could throw on it at the time. Its just my feeling that its really doubtful that HTC can go from that point, to making the device impossible to root in the matter of a few months..
