[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] phoenix56317:
This is not a rant nor a rave post, it's all about one's opinion regarding the difference between the International version S3 and the T-mobile S3.

I have had my S3 T999 UNLOCKED version for a while now, it's a 16gig model and after Flashing so many ROM's and whatnot, I am seriously considering getting the International version.

My decision is NOT based on the HARDWARE difference between the 2, it's based on the SOFTWARE alone.

IMHO, It's totally inconceivable to expect a device like a cellphone to be a Speed demon or have the Fastest and Latest super this or super that. I don't think anyone BOUGHT their device for that reason alone so what did we buy it for in the first place ?

1. Reliable Communication should be the #1 top reason for everyone.

2. Dependability should be #2, I would believe.

3. Utility as a personal entertainment device to pass the time when one is bored.

There are other reasons that I can't think of but it's safe to say that the T-mobile S3 is different in 1 regard, between the other GSM carriers, T-mobile has 1 different frequency, don't quote me but I think it's the 2100 .

Would any of you care to share your opinion if you had to go back and change your mind would you have gotten an UNLOCKED S3 International over the T-mobile's version, disregarding the hardware aspects of the 2 ?

P.S. Oh and BTW, Is there any end users and/or Developers that have both devices ?

Regarding the Software, I just would like to have the Essential apps that 1 needs, not all this other B$ that is dependent of the other bloated apps, I think everyone knows what am referring too, right ?

If Wild or Doc, reads this, maybe we can ask for a ROM that let's us install the apps we want on our devices via the Aroma installer, would be nice right pps ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kmdub:
Yes, the T-Mobile version is different in that it lacks LTE and it adds the AWS (1700/2100) band. You never really said why you made a decision to change devices, just that you had made a decision. Personally, I am happy with the phone I have, but I am on T-Mobile, so the T999 that I have is an obvious choice. Are you on T-Mobile? If you are, think carefully before you get another version, since you probably won't get the data speeds you expect with any other GS3 version, at least not at this time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
I don't understand what are you trying to tell us, but if you going with international version make sure you get a career like Att the support hspa, otherwise you will be stuck on edge for tmobile, until they re framed their network
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SebasC:
Only reason to NOT get Internation version is simply as stated before of the AWS band, you going to be on EDGE with the internation version no matter where in the US you go too. So what is your reason for switching anyway?? Because your post is confusing

I would definitly stick with t999 and the 2 gigs of ram. I am overclocked to dual core 2.1ghz I can't Imagine that the i9300 is much faster than my phone. Seriously this phone is blazing fast and multi tasking has been taken to a whole new level. Love it and couldn't ask for more.

Hello guys, i would like your advice on this matter. I want to order a t999 because of the specs i find more powerful, therefore i want to know if i can use it in Europe with my local (vodafone Romania) carrier...After i will get it unlock i mean.

I recently find out that my carrier uses 900 mHz network GSM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sleepy13909:
Well i have both t999 & international. i cant take the slow speeds of the international so i use the T999 as my daily phone but if i had 4g i would totally use my GT-I9300 to me there's a difference
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] phoenix56317:
sleepy13909, Thanks for your reply.

I am a T-mobile customer and I have the T999 but as I mentioned, I didn't buy the device of the download speed, I bought it because I thought it was a RELIABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE.

Since, I've not ventured out into the I9300 area of the forums here, I was wondering how much Bloat is on the International version compared to the T-mobile ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Snakeatermgs:
This is really important for me. You have SEEN his Note get 4g here in Vegas? My gt-i9300 is in transit as I type this so I really wanna know if 1900 band will really supply me at least 3g speeds as of 9.24.12. Because if they're both 1900 baseband phones I don't see why my sgs3 gt-i9300 couldn't get it. Btw I live in eastern side of town. Around Hollywood and lake Mead. Around which side of town does he get those speeds?

advice for buyer.

So, let's say I'm not really interested in internet usage over my phone data network, just wifi, but I am more interested in day to day usage of applications/games, T999 or International? I am on Tmobile, but again I don't care about using it for internet purposes. What do I get?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jaimesco12:
Wait wait I can get 4G with the HTC one x international and the galaxy s3 international on vegas ???? Because I live in Vegas and I would switch phones in a heart beat.:D:D:D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Spidey01:
The International will give voice/text/data service on EDGE with T-Mobile. If EDGE is ok when away from WiFi, the international model is a better buy. T-999 is pretty much a new model year for the T-Mobile S2 (T-989) where as the I9300 is a power house.

If you can get a good price on the T-999, it's sufficient for "Normal" people and most power users. I paid about $580 for mine. Just don't expect it to be awesome sauce for compiling huge software projects or something.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tgamble160:
I'll take my 2gb of ram over the quadcore any day. If the international had 2 gigs of ram then that would be sweet but as of now I got 2 gigs of ram and I can still hit almost 7000 on quadrant. And before anyone says I know benchmarks are kind of useless but I can hit about 6800-6900 all day and that does say something. Its very consistent scores. So I am giving my vote to my t999.:cool:

Personally, I'd rather have Quad S4 Pro's or Exynos 4's - then I could replace my core 2 duo work station and Tegra 3 tablet ;). Those systems do the compile work.

But alas, 21 MBit/s speeds when out of WiFi range are just....more useful for now.

Make sure "Fast Boot" is disabled in Setting -> Power. And try rebooting again.

If it's already disabled try to narrow down the problem as much as you can, eg. see if it makes any difference if bluetooth, wi-fi, mobile data networks etc are disabled.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christizzz:
I have a Galaxy S2 (I9100) . Whe i bought it its was running Android 2.3.5 and the screen was perfect. Then i did the ICS update using Kies and yellowish tint appeared on the left side of the screen. The weird part is that it only appears when i reboot the phone and disappear when i lock and unlock the screen. (it will appear on the next reboot).

I thought it was a Software problem... so i installed:

CM9 Nightlies -> same problem

CM9.1 ->same problem

CM10 Nightlies and still the same problem.

I am using the stock CM10 kernel with the latest nightly....

Any solutions ??? it is annoying to see a yellowish tint at reboot and make it disappear by locking and locking....

Thank you

first i want to start by saying how sorry i am if i have repeated this thread, but in my defence im actually super confused :(

here is my story.

i have a SE x10 (or x10i i not sure).

right now its been modded (i used this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1305945 )

at one point after modding it wiped out (my friend was playing around with it) and lost all my data and stuff but it was still the modded look

at the moment im having wifi problems with it and have been advised by SE to send it into repair. now obviously i dont want them to know i got unofficial firmware on my phone.

how do i go back to the start, as in as SE gave me the phone no root no mod NOTHING. its a unbranded UK phone

iv read tutorials but not too sure which one i should follow.

and more info need let me know ill be happy to provide it

- Download Better battery stats and use it to track down what's causing wakelocks.

- Download cpuspy to check your cpu activity

- Download Rescan Media Root, and use it to disable the media scanner on boot.
