[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saldebot:
I love this phone, above all other android phones which is alot.

If at all possible buy from t-mobile. In the street if you are lucky you will get one for $350 to $400. If you have an upgrade available then you will paying about that much, unless you go thru customer loyalty or retention department(really depends if you been with them 2 or more yrs for best deals, so I have read).

I have not had any stuters while playing a couple games , darkknight rises, robo defense, spades and a few others
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bikrame:
If you are able to play with phone before buying. Press *#0*# and it will show you Lcdtest page. Which will let you test all hardware function of phone .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fuccyoupayme:
alright cool, i'll try it out when i get the chance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Id advise against buying "off the street". Too many have gotten screwed doing that.

But many have got great deals that way too, so its your call.

I wouldn't get the international version. You won't get as great of speed as the T999. Maybe 3g if your areas been refarmed.

LTE is too far off still to make that a buying point imo. By the time your area gets it you'll be ready to get a better phone. GS5 maybe!?:D

That's a great point btw about doing the hardware testing before buying off the street!

Ill add that if you can, go with the seller to a tmobile store to check the imei isn't blacklisted and get the seller to have them print something showing the phone has been 100% paid off.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ayeitschris:
Call retentions and ask if you can get a better deal on the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] peppersu812:
I'm over on the s2. I called TMobile to see about how much it would be for me to get into the phone. The one I want is the 32g. Well I'm still under my contact. It was about 700 dollars lol. Well I can get it but I'm gonna need to sale my s2. I think I'll get more if I sale it rooted already then I would unrooted that way I wouldn't be paying so much for the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neiljackson:
Prefer the unlocked S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mackster248:
Like what people above said, call retentions. They offered me the s3 for 99 bucks. But I think I will still wait till black Friday deals. I have a galaxy nexus so I'm in no hurry.

If you're not in a hurry either wait for black Friday.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Please don't buy one. Get the note 2.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saldebot:
Hey OP is your name a refrence to Good Fellas ? If so that it hilarious. Lmfao.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mackster248:
The Note 2 isn't for everyone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
I have giant hands and I think the note 2 is too big. I don't watch enough movies on my phone to have to hold a tablet PC up to my ear. SGS3 fits perfectly... its nice and sleek... lightweight... and is a beast when it comes to performance. I love it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LordGeek:
Ok .. we all know that XDA members and especially the Dev's are anxious to get there hands on an OFFICIAL AT&T release of JellyBean 4.1.x for our SGSIII's .. well, I can tell you this .. so far, AT&T (that I'm aware of) have already gone through 3 releases .. and NOT one of them have found there way up here on XDA.

The 4 builds so far are:

samsung/d2uc/d2att:4.1.1/JRO03L/I747UCDLI7:user/release-keys

samsung/d2uc/d2att:4.1.1/JRO03L/I747UCDLJ2:user/release-keys

samsung/d2uc/d2att:4.1.1/JRO03L/I747UCDLJ3:user/release-keys

samsung/d2uc/d2att:4.1.1/JRO03L/I747UCDLJ3c:user/release-keys

So .. if ANYONE knows, has access, secrets .. etc etc etc .. please release or leak so that our Dev's can have some real fun :)

I have searched high and low all over the internet .. I have been unable to find absolutely ZIP on all 3 releases.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:

Ya seriously, we need someone on the inside to release these leaks.

I have been toying with installing a JB custom ROM from here, but all of them have things that just aren't working.

Sometimes I am tempted to just go back to the iPhone and get a 5.

I would love to install an official leak. Would make me feel better. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iceman4357:
I am sure we will see something very soon in the form of a leak or info on official release. A Sprint document was just leaked stating the their official JB update pushes tomorrow. Unfortunately its always the case that AT&T takes longer on updates than others.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jmacdonald19:
Ooo, watching this thread eagerly. Phandroid released an article today that Sprint is going to start JB updates for their GS3s starting tomorrow:

http://phandroid.com/2012/10/24/sprints-samsung-galaxy-s3-jelly-bean-rollout-starts-october-25th/

Would love to get my hands on one of these leaks until the official makes its way out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kgbkny:
Here's the article that specifically references the Sprint exclusion that I referenced on the other thread. As evidenced by today's development, the Examiner was correct.

http://www.examiner.com/article/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-may-not-get-jelly-bean-u-s-until-2013
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jmacdonald19:
Well nuts. I wonder why only Sprint is getting the love? Supposedly there are AT&T JB betas out there in the wild being tested, but none of them have leaked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Can't come soon enough, if only because it'll eventually help our AOSP jelly roms wrt the proprietary bits.

There's no going back to a stock touchwiz rom, even if it is jellybean. :))

(EDIT: Somebody gave this thread a 1-star rating, so I gave it a 5 to raise the current avg to 3)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:
yeah, even if I won't use the stock JB rom, devs will to make our CM/AOKP much much better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyl:
awaiting development. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:
And they are waiting for leakage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LordGeek:
By the looks of it .. there is now another release out there somewhere for AT&T :

samsung/d2uc/d2att:4.1.1/JRO03L/I747UCDLJ3c:user/release-keys
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
It doesn't matter if there are a million leaks, without the ability to dl, it doesn't do a lot of good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LordGeek:
I know .. it just sucks that all these are out there somewhere, and we can't get our hands on any of them !!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elementaldragon:
Except that CM/AOKP are built almost entirely from source. Considering there isn't really a whole lot that's different between the Sprint, Bell, or whatever other carriers leaked/released their official JB builds for the GS3, i can't imagine having an AT&T specific ROM providing more aide than any of the others have already done.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LordGeek:
Regarding what leaks are already out there .. Sprint, Bell, Rogers, T-Mobile etc etc etc // There are still bugs with each one of them on our AT&T SGS3's .. and again, these are of cause leaks .. except the Sprint release which is now Official, and there are even still bugs with that when ported over to ours.

At least, if we can get our hands on a original AT&T leak .. we can see if these same bugs exist between the builds, or if AT&T has everything working as it should .. who knows !!!

That's why I've been posting that there are test builds out there for AT&T .. just cannot find them, or get our hands on them .. I know there is someone out there that has access to these builds .. problem is, that person is telling me that he does "not have permission to release" !!!

I couldn't even get the fella to verify the build numbers for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blaker13:
Some devs have serious connections when it's available out well be here
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LordGeek:
Ohh I'm fully aware of that .. alot of Devs do .. worse part of all this, I know someone on here that already has access to and has been using it .. I cannot persuade him to release/leak what he has, keeps telling me "I don't have permission" !!! SUCKS

His last response to me on Twitter was "I'm good, many people send drama my way for giving them free stuff. some people in the android community just ruin it for everyone." and I haven't heard from him since.

With roms with jb have all the touch with feature almost like having the original phone? I'm under Cm10 right now and some option that stock have don't work with cm10 like samsung allshare.

I'm also under BELL.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sameer1807:
yes there are but just two that are solid. check out drew garen's serenity 1.2 (GNote2 port) or team insomnia's JB rom. they are stock and ported to at&t devices from other carrier leaks. very good..some bugs exist but they update often and fixes are available.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Fumblez:
I was wondering.. What did majority of the people that own a SIII, buy it for? I was talking to a guy at a Verizon stand about the GSIII and he was talking about how much he hated touchwiz, and how much it slowed down the OS (have to agree compared to stock android), but his only reason to buy this phone was to root it and put CM10 on it. And that was his whole argument on why he would get it. I love touchwiz since my Vibrant. I love all of the features and its looks. I love how it advanced from touchwiz 4 to this. It's fantastic to see this change. I bought my GSIII because I have had the two Galaxy S phones before this. If I wanted stock android, I would have gotten the Galaxy Nexus.

Now please, tell me why did you got your Galaxy SIII? :)

I was debating on whether or not to post this, I made it for some folks here locally, and I wasn't sure if anyone here would want it, so I'm putting it up here to see what happens. Knowing that most members on here are probaly men, think of your wives or girlfriends when you see this lol

When I think of Christmas Green and red come to mind so that's the colors of the theme. It is heavily themedl, status bar now themed

Flash in recovery, and wipe both caches. If any damage befalls your phone, enjoy your drive to your local Sprint store ;) but that wont happen.

So I have a slight problem, I flashed CM 7.2 and its great... but slow... so I started to look at DonutHD and 2.2.9 looked great so I downloaded the files and did everything I should to flash it but it keeps on telling me this when I try to swap:

[XPERIA X10 General] Yoshi5005:
Help!

so I flashed the DoomKernel with cm7.2 but now when i start it it takes forever to do anything and gets stuck on the CyanogenMod circle thing and it just stays there, and when I tried to flash another kernel it would not let me plug the phone while holding the back button because it would just turn itself on... any help is greatly apreciated!!! Thank you!!!

Hi

did you try to reset the phone to stock Rom with SEUS?

[XPERIA X10 General] Yoshi5005:
So I got it to work and what I should have done was find out how to use the new kernel before installing it but fyi for the X10 when the doomkernel logo appears wait for a blue light to turn on as a notification light that is when you go crazy on that back button. But yeah its working and I tell you DonutHD is so much faster than Cyanogen mod (partly from the 1.1ghz vs 1.3ghz overclocked speed, but also the lightness of it)
[XPERIA X10 General] Kaito_Kuroba:
Because you didnt know how to flash cm7 correctly.. yes donuthd is good and fast.. but cm7 is far way better than it.. im using fxp130 cm7 with my own modded kernel for now..:D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lojak29:
Update root works fine .. and I flashed twrp on the metro s3

Itl be interesting to see if anyone starts a dev forum for metro gs3

Sorta nice to have unlimited 4g for 55$ @ month on the same phone sprint uses on so called 4g
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lojak29:
Get the metro s3 theyll finance it for 20 @ week no credit check thru progressive

Or pay the 499

Its totally worth utilizing this phones ability on 4g apose to Sprint crap 2g

I pay 55
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] radrian92:
How do I go about doing this? I'm ready to make the jump but don't have the $540 in hand. I'm thinking of selling my sg2 and sg3 to pay for it but don't have a clue on the price to ask for both. The financing sounds dope
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lojak29:
I did it yesterday. Call all local metro stores ask if they participate in the progrrssive finance option

You fill app they go off your income need pay stub and a bank account

They approve u for from 200-800 in store credit u pay only 10% down of the total u spend so if u get 600 credit

You can spend up to that

So the s3 is 499 so u pay 50$ down and walk with thr phone

They print u papers u call and tell progressive. How mucj u want taken from your bank. ..Each week or once a month

I got approved for 650 in store walked with my galaxy for 500 50$ down plus tax

Making monthly payments

Whole thing takes 30 min
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lojak29:
S3 should bring 300 cash on craigslist. S2 sadly sells now for 150 now that its older if they're both real clean

I deal phones a lot so... let me know

Try the metro finance then sell phones and opt to payit off after u sell
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nbeebe24:
I'm almost positive you can flash a ROM meant for another carrier. All of them have identical hardware. Just avoid modem firmware and anything relating to the i9300. BTW how is metro's service?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
Hey Guys So i was able to successfully unload my bootloader and root my phone via 2.20 root temp method. Now i've run into a wall where I seem to be following the directions, but can't seem to get it to work.

So after my phone was unlocked etc after the whole token thingy... (Sorry this is my first time since 3-4 years ago that i have rooted.. Last phone was a Droid X so excuse my ignorance).... Anyhow so my phone got reset and all and booted back and everything was fine and working.. Now according to the thread in order to flash a ROM of my choice i need to install some sort of Recovery tool. The instructions say to install TWRP-2.3.1.0-evita.img. I have put the .img on the same folder c:android that i have created where i have the adb, fastboot files. I open up a command prompt window and run the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img and it says "waiting for device" and get's stuck there and nothing happens.

According to the post it is supposed to install it and restart my phone automatically, however nothing happens. I am afraid if i reboot my phone and try again that my temp root will go away and will have to redo-everything all over again. Additionally I have tried the market place method where you download "Goomanager" and install the twrp img via menu>openrecoveryscript and choose to download, however i get an error when attempting to download. Can someone point me in the right direction. And will i lose temp root if i reboot my phone?

"Hey guys i just notice i did not run the "adb fastboot" command to tell my phone to reboot first prioer to trying to flash the twrip image. Sorry"

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
I just downloaded superuser and busybox. Also i downloaded root checker and when i click on check root it says my phone is NOT PROPERLY ROOTER. Can this be because of how HTC ONE X gets temp rooted and this app doesn't work properly? How can i check for sure if i'm rooted? I mean i can get into TWRP recovery and everything with no issues. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
I believe that because you did not download superuser before reboot. I think you lost root. Might want to try again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
So after i Ran the run.bat and did the entire cid and then token thingy from HTC site and unlocked my bootloader the phone rebooted on it's own.

I believe i need to install superuser via recovery or flash a rom first then install not sure.. the way the dev wrote this phrase is confusing to me.. Check it out...

10. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery partition via fastboot, boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su (I do not provide support for custom recoveries, but this is a straightforward process that other people can help with).

I mean every step form 1-9 all went successfully. Can you provide me with some tips ?
