Could make sense if you have an s3 and take new lte contract with EE (tmobile/orange) then they will sort the upgrade for you.

Would make sense that they would want to tie up as many lte customers as possible to keep with retentions , before the other carriers pick up lte... with so many people that have bought the s3, is a massive chunk of customers they have missed out on....

Possible catch you have to take out a higher contract.

Is no way Samsung themselves would front the bill for that so the above scenario seems the only way possible to me.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
I've got good sources that the S4 prototype is being developed :)

2014 is a possible date.

No other info is known, but this is what I've heard.

And no I'm not joking - I would love to say how I know, but not to reveal anyone's identity, I'll keep it a secret.

And No no one at CPW or anything like that would ever be told that information.

As for this S3 thing - let's see what the future brings. If there are no actually gives in their S3 to be "upgraded" I call hoax.
[Galaxy S III General] Thomo87:
Not unheard of

I'm not sure why everyone is so certain it won't happen. Sony sold the PS3 at a loss at the beginning of it's life cycle, and someone previously mentioned that Motorola offered an upgrade to your Xoom as well. If the cost of replacing the necessary parts is less than the actual profit they make from each phone then they could conceivably do it and still be making a profit. And their rep would go through the roof.

Personally I'm hesitant as it does seem too good to be true, but I'm also a little hopeful. Either way I'll wait and see.
[Galaxy S III General] Galactus:
Dafuq loool
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
Yet again, male cow faeces. You never mentioned a hardware upgrade. Yes, people were obnoxious in the thread. But you're still putting out bull**** information, whether consciously or unconsciously. Accept it and get on.
[Galaxy S III General] kofiaa:
He doesn't want to accept that he's wrong. Even if they did recall, which they won't, it would not justify the sole ota he said that would activate lte.

There is no way Samsung will recall their phones to add lte. Why should they? Were we not all aware when we bought our phones. They owe us nothing. And, why is it so important to have such high speed internet on your phone don't you do the majority of downloads on a pc. I stream perfectly via h/h+ but I guess others may have different needs.
[Galaxy S III General] KMino:
Reminds me of a British Comedy about a phone shop and those that worked there.

Bosses trying to be cool talking about things they know nothing of, job center lads on work experience repeating the wise words of there bosses :D
[Galaxy S III General] Gustopher:
Absolutely, couldn't agree more - the commercials around tackling a recall (and there are plenty that would also spin it as a defect recall) are nonsensical, especially as Samsung have an offering that can be bought by anyone desperate enough for 4g.

On that subject and dealing with the UK alone, why would I want to be in a rush to have a phone that can access a service that is currently only available through one network provider and initially in only sixteen pilot cities? By the time there is any meaningful widespread availability of the technology I suspect I may be one or two iterations of the phone further down the line anyway.

Between this and the 'OTA update', it's clear that there are some people around this site in urgent need of a reality check.
[Galaxy S III General] jinosong:
People here are so quick to flame others here, that it's disgusting. He didn't make up the story, he's merely the messenger. If it's true, it's a win for all so don't flame others without concrete evidence to back up your posts.
[Galaxy S III General] Gustopher:
...Or you could argue that the original story is no more than speculation that lacks 'concrete evidence' and will simply serve to stir up the 'I want, I want, I want' mentality of many on this site. You pays your money and you takes your choice.

To be fair to the OP, he presents it as no more than a possibility and is taking steps to verify it but maybe the best time to go public with the story is

after

it has been verified?
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
I agree that people are too quick to flame on this forum but in fairness, the OP here and in the other thread have gone beyond being messengers, they've continued to defend the "message" despite the fact that it's most probably false and without any willingness to entertain that fact, nevermind accept it.
[Galaxy S III General] jutley:
So can anyone point me to the free upgrade programme then?
[Galaxy S III General] artesea:
My guess is that a "recall" will be of the unsold I9300s in the Orange and T-Mobile shops, ensuring that newer sales will be with the I9305s.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
can't see that, a lot of people won't want to pay the premium that will undoubtedly come with 4g contracts, especially as coverage is so limited
[Galaxy S III General] artesea:
but they don't have to pay the premium, they can continue to use their Orange/T-Mobile 3G 24 month contact if they wish. Just gives an option to "move" to EE without the need for new hardware.
[Galaxy S III General] wardy01:
My op was also a way for any others who have heard any kind of info to get there side out too.

I've only heard from a couple like I mentioned. Now deem it true or false either way it could be make or break for some non lte users unsure whether to hang onto there s3 or go the lte route.

If Samsung turned round and said to me OK give us £30 plus p&p to get your device equipped then I would do it.

Will see what any more news brings .

Regards.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
If they did it, they could equip service centers to perform the upgrade, you could take your device in with proof of purchase along, then only original buyers can get the upgrade, the people who have given money to Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] Airax:
There is no mention of this "upgrade" on Samsung BackStage, which is a portal for retailers on Samsung mobile products, news, training, etc. make of that what you will.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
From Samsung

The information you have read about Samsung replacing the S3 for the S3 LTE is not true.. It could be that the phone shops are offering this but you would need to check with the phone shops.

/thread
[Galaxy S III General] thor9934:
okay, so where did you get that info from?
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
I sent their customers support department an email, and this is the reply.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
now there's actually something about that statement you made.

Why are Sammy saying: "It could be the phone shops offering" ?

Considering they are the manufacturers?

In other words, that's more like confirming that the OP is not telling lies.

Take that / back :)
[Galaxy S III General] j0ep0:
For me, I'm not arguing that OP is lying, but I think he is misinformed. From op:

Where do you seem confirmation of that? Samsung confirmed that they're not going to swap devices. They simply keep the option open that some shops might swap the device on their own initiative, costs and responsibility. That's how I read the Samsung statement. Besides that, support isn't the best department to get statements for future actions/campaigns.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
just an FYI:

You do realise who the makers of the phone are?

Not CPW, nor voda nor tmobile, nor verizon nor virgin nor abctotallydubbed network - right?
[Galaxy S III General] kofiaa:
Samsung are not saying they will add lte functionality. But they are not dismissing the option that cpw & co may let buyers trade in their I9300 for the I9305.

Since Samsung are the manufacturers it dismisses the op's statement about lte hardware upgrade to our phones.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
Ok so, CPW will be upgrading my chip?

Man o man - I don't know what you guys have been drinking lol.

Anyway, doesn't matter. I didn't think anything of it - just working based on claims and statements :)

Oh and yes 2014 for S4, not 2013 - lol right back at ya poster :)
[Galaxy S III General] j0ep0:
What's your point?

Based on the Samsung support statement, that's simply incorrect.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
point should be crystal clear.

Samsung make the phones, they recall them.

If one says samsung isn't doing it BUT CPW might be doing it - doesn't that sound a little like shooting yourself in the foot and saying: Actually we are doing it via phone shops?

Not like I honestly care for LTE or even 4G - but that point should be noted.
[Galaxy S III General] j0ep0:
Obviously it isn't ;) Being sarcastic doesn't help in making it better imho.

Pointing out the obvious, but some people were referring to a swap instead of a recall.

No, considering that maybe certain shops and/or providers might use the swap (or even a trade-in option) as an additional (and costly) service to potential customers. Samung probably can't stop specific shops or providers in providing such a service. Chances are little, but you never know.

Same here.
[Galaxy S III General] kofiaa:
Read my comment well,

I said the seller of your phone (cpw, 02, voda etc) could let you upgrade or trade in your phone: I9300 » I9305.

I mentioned nothing about upgrading any chip.... because it's not going to happen.
[Galaxy S III General] Blush91:
Del
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Here is what they mean, Samsung is not going to recall I9300s to put an LTE chip in, however phone stores (at their own cost) can push out a message saying they are willing to take I9300s to upgrade. This is not Samsung doing it, it is the stores, they will be buying the LTE versions, and they can do what they want with them, sell them, or exchange for i9300s. Samsung are not telling them to.
[HD Mini General] Comandante_J:
Hi guys.

After triying everything i know about and searching on lots of forums and google, i decided to give good'ol XDA a shot.

Anyway, someone from my family asked me if the phone he just got from his brother would take whats app. It was a HTC HD Mini with the stock WM6.5, so i said "i don't think so", "but hey, you know what? i can install Android in it, and then you could use it like any other Android device!"

...yeah, good idea, for sure.

So i searched, and decided to follow a guide posted on HTCMania.com, wich was the translation of a ROM thread here, on xda, this one: LINK

I followed everything, and i got to the step where you have to execute a .bat file called "install LK.bat". A CMD window appeared, but something went really wrong. Or not, i dont know, the fact is that, suddenly, the phone's screen changed from black with green texts, to this:

It will stay like that, no matter what you do, say, pray, etc... . In order to turn off the device, you have to remove the battery.

So i investigate a little more, and try to upload the stock WM ROM via SSPL. I do it in the bootloader menu (what a wonderfull sight after all the good years that my beloved HTC Prophet gave me...).

FAIL!!!! It says that i can go home and cry, because of an error called "ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID"

Wonderfull! so i start looking for every ROM i can think off, factory, cooked, everything. I try to install them via SD card naming the ruu "PHOTIMG", and then turning on the device with the bootloader, it starts loading it, "Loading..." "Checking..." "0028002 not allow". And back to the bootloader tri-color screen.

At this point, i dont know what to do, my phone is Spanish, the service provider is Movistar, but the phone is unlocked (i dont know if it was unlocked by someone, or if it never was locked in the first place).

There are a couple of SPA ROMs outhere, one is generic, and the other is Vodafone. Not to mention, neither of the two works.

PLEASE, if someone can help me in any way, it will be MUCH appreciated.

THX to all.
[HD Mini General] rashidfiza:

[HD Mini General] Comandante_J:
Thanks for answering, but that page should sue me for excessive bandwidth usage, LOL. I've already tried lots of ROMs from there, but not a single one would get past 1%, they all spit out the same error: 294: Invalid vender ID

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] greg di:
I have an S2 with Sprint and while I love the phone, Sprint's lack of signal and speed is making me loose my shlt on a daily basis.

I'm at the point where taking the ETF hit is inconsequential to the quality of life I may enjoy with VZ.

Has anyone done what I'm talking about specifically from the S2 Sprint to the S3 Verizon? Are you happier????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] UJMODI:
I did and i couldnt be happier. Went from the epic touch to the S3. Sprint service blows. Not even a comparison.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
I did. The service is much better in most places, but where I live I got slow Sprint speeds and its no different with VZW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jjmiii:
I did exactly that, Sprint gs2 to Verizon gs3. I couldn't be happier. I went from absolutely no service at work to having lte coverage. I am selling my e4gt to cover the cost of early termination. My bill is more monthly, but I feel it's worth it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tykalx:
i as well, just three weeks back

flashing roms is easier

4g just about anywhere

this phone has a ton of features whether you stay stock or custom like paranoid android

and reception being the biggest reason i transferred. i dont miss sprint, loved the s2 but s3 is a beast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phillysdon04:
I did also. I had the OG HTC EVO 4G with Sprint and enjoyed that phone. I had no problem with Sprints call quality, but the internet speeds were horrible and I refused to wait for the LTE to be up and running with Sprint. Verizon LTE speeds is way faster than Sprints Wimax. Verizon LTE is also faster than my Comcast home internet at times. I'm happy with my decision.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aweskelo:
Came from Sprint and couldnt be happier. I have 4G LTE everywhere I go to the tune of 12mb to upwards of 30mb down.

Sprint is lucky to hit 1.5mb down at 5am, and normally runs at 200-600k down during the day. Sometimes 70k!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
Except VZW has 4g LTE and Sprint basically has none. If you're going to have an s3 LTE device you might as well have a carrier that has 4g LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
Another convert here: E4GT -> GS3. Couldn't be happier with my decision. It's like going from a dumbphone to a smartphone all over again. Sprint's service was so godawful I could never use my phone for much off of Wifi. Now, I have a solid connection everywhere I go so I end up using my GS3 far more than I ever did my E4GT. It's like night and day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidGraphix:
I converted from Sprint the week xda gave me the heads up VZW was doing away with their unlimited plan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
I came from an Epic which I loved but Sprint which drove me crazy. My internet speed is 10x better which is great. The best part is I can make a phone call and actually talk to someone for 10 minutes and not have the call drop a dozen times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vikramjatt11:
I went from the Epic Touch to the Verizon GS3, and I could not be happier! Bought my phone for $485 on eBay, plus 64Gb San Disk sdcard from Amazon for $50-ish. Love the phone, and love the service and LTE. Get an average of 15 hours battery life with 4G on 24/7, about 3.5 hours screen on time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] whitfield77:
Same here. Went from Epic 4g on Sprint to GS3 on Verizon & have ZERO regrets. Signal is better, data speed is insanely faster. I'm in Omaha, NE, where Sprint has no 4G; finally got tired of their '4G coming soon' BS response.

If your main concern is signal reliability & data speed, make the switch, you'll be much happier. What good is a killer phone if you're always b1tc1n about crappy service?

C
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Norwester:
Paid my ETF and made the switch last week. I'd been thinking about it for awhile and the Amazon $99 sale pushed me over the edge. The only place I spend anytime that doesn't have LTE is work but Verizons 3G is actually usable there compared to Sprints dialup speeds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shawnten:
I jumped from sprint after 12 years and I couldn't be happier. I have 4g everywhere. I had the evo lte which I loved but the signal is amazing from Verizon. Worth the Money I can't believe how much better the network is on Verizon. And the s3 is a kick ass phone I like it just as much as I liked the evo lte. Only now I have lte
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rotzy:
Same for me. I was with sprint for 12 years and couldn't stand the slow data anymore. What's the pont of unlimited data when you never have any bandwith! I went from the Epic to the S3 on Verizon and wish I did it long ago. No regrets. I get 4G LTE almost everywhere. The slowest speed I have seen so far on Verizon has been faster than the fastest speed I ever saw on Sprint.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] greg di:
Thanks guys...

I ended up porting the whole family on Saturday to VZW. I took a $440 hit on ETFs, but my sanity is worth it.

The LTE signal is ALL OVER THE PLACE where I operate and it's lightning fast....Like somebody said, I didn't realize how slow and shtty Sprint was.

My S3 is lasting more than a day compared to my S2 that could barely get 4 hours due to many reasons, most of which stemming from constantly having weak Sprint signals.

I don't even think I'm going to root the S3 at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rich3077:
Also came from Sprint using an S2. I left Sprint due to the crappy service and didn't have to pay ETF fees due to an FCC complaint that got escalated to executive services.

I am loving my S3 as well as Verizons service. Using an app called Netmonitor I now know that Verizon has 3 times as many towers in my area so even if Sprint upgraded my area to LTE they would still suck compared to Verizon.

I shall never bother with Sprint again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zof9i6:
I had just switched to verizon. from sero premium is $50 but i rather pay double for 2gb data on verizon. even if i paid half less for unlimited, i wasnt able to use it. whats the point of unlimited and cheaper when you cant even hardly use it. just too dam slow.

definitely happier with verizon. can use 4g about almost anywhere. even 3g data is fast.

now i can use my phone at work during break. before i couldnt at all. i see everyone with phone out and i am too but not surfing the web. even at home i dont get service. had to use sprint air rave. even with that it barely work once in a while
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rusty.gh:
SGS3 on verizon!

I just did it. One week in and went from SGS3 to SGS3

Verizon is way better! Yes I paid to quit sprint and it's the last they ever get from me

I'm sick and tired of waiting for sprint and then it sucks

Verizon gives me kick ass speeds in about ever place I go in SoCal I'm so much happier!

v5.0:

Added new gestures to turn On/Off screen:

Swipe Once,

Swipe Twice,

Swipe and Hold,

Hold and Swipe and

Cover and Hold
[HTC One X] xSilv85:
Hey,

I replied on your other thread too. But nice to see you here.

Official flip case doesnt work. Because if fully closed the sensor detect it's as "see trough". So uncovered proximity value is 9 and covered is 0. But if fully covered it gives 9 too. Only solution is tape the cover with a white paper or post it.

Second problem: if set start on boot the lockscreen behavior is weird. On reboot it does not start locked. Screen shortcuts and widgets dissapears until you touch the screen.

Maybe you can fix both. But the first problem is the material i guess.
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
