[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] w98seeng:
I had an SGS for 2 years before I got my S3 and about 90% of the time, I was under 100 MB for the month (I use Wi-Fi mostly). Since I have the S3, my data usage has been between 125 MB and 175 MB. Is this normal? What would cause this?

I have checked for Accounts and Sync is turned off, nothing syncs by itself. Apps only update through Wi-Fi and I have not been using the phone any more now than when I had the SGS.

Thanks,

Ian

S3 has a new weather widget that could be sucking data. Also runs a load of bloatware (if stock) in the background. Also depends what apps you have, some might not ask for account sync permission and just sync in the background (google services do this sometimes).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zexco:
Data is data... one device can't use data 'more' than anothere one... example: watching the same definition YouTube video on an s3 and a nexus 7.... gonna use the exact same amount of data.

I can't really explain why you're experiencing what you're experiencing, but the s3 has a Data Usage section in Settings that you might want to take a look at.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] w98seeng:
I love this feature of ICS, but it's no help in trying to figure out why I am using more data than with the SGS.

It's not really a problem, but when I got the S3 and upgraded my Telus account, I went with the Promo Voice and Data Lite 50+ plan which gives me up to 100MB of data for $50. It's an extra $10 for between 101MB and 250MB, but I figured since I hardly go over 100MB, this plan would work.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bossfan61:
I just bought the AT&T Galaxy Tab 8.9 with 4G LTE off eBay. The specs are as follows:

model # SGH-i957

Android 3.2

Baseband i957UCKJ7

Kernel 2.6.35.11-perf (se.infra@sep-71 #2)

Build # HONEYCOMB.i957UCKJ7

The seller said it was rooted and everything appears to be working fine. However, when I try a software update, it says everything is current. I have another non-AT&T Galaxy Tab 8.9 with ICS, so I don't know why it won't download on the AT&T version.

I'm relatively tech savvy, but I could use some guidance on how to download ICS. Although I don't currently have an account with AT&T for 4G LTE access, it would be great to preserve that option, too. I've been able to figure out how to jailbreak and iPhone, but I have never rooted an Android device or installed a custom ROM.

Also, if there is a way to just unroot this and put it back to AT&T default condition, that would be preferable.

Could someone point me in the direction of a site where I can get started? All input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kinsell:
Two issues -- AT&T hasn't released ICS for the Tab 8.9, they have for everything else scheduled for ICS. Most people blame Samsung for the holdup, but who knows?

Also, if your device is rooted, that voids whatever warranty you might have had and carriers generally prevent their new bits from being installed.

There's plenty of info on the web for unrooting or updating, here's one on xda:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517731

I bought an 8.9 tab recently used, probably will wait a bit longer to see if AT&T might possibly deliver, but then go ahead and update myself. Your first experience with this stuff can be a real headache, due to contradictory info in the various guides out there, and all sorts of dead links pointing at outdated files.

If your device is already set up with an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery system, and being rooted, slipping in a new ROM is pretty trivial. Requires copying a file to an SD card, so I guess you need the adapter that lets you do that.

* Unfortunately, I'm having the same problems with this ROM on HSDPA that I was having on aeroevan's ROM. GSM is found immediately on boot, however, HSDPA is very flakey. It will succeed in connecting every now and again, but then randomly drops the signal and won't reconnect. I thought maybe I just had a weak 3G signal where I was testing, but I have a BB Bold for work as well and that can easily maintain a 3G connection on the same network. I also had no problem way back in the day with CM7.2, but that ship has sailed .

Also, when the phone is in WCDMA preferred mode, after a while the phone will lose all connections (usually after a reboot but not always), including to GSM and when I go to reselect my network operator I get the message "Error while searching for networks". No matter how many times I reboot the phone or switch to "GSM Only" or "GSM/WCDMA auto" it never lets me again select my network provider.

As I said, I ran into the same problems with aero's port, so its not specific to this ROM.

So lose the 3G network always in global mode (global), 3G users they will never be, but 2G ok (you spend vina sim and have installed APV vina).

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
Aeroevan's rom? CM9, CM10? Is your radio outdated? What carrier are you on? More info = more help.

BTW, I don't understand this part.

I would suggest reading through the entire thread of Aeroevan's rom that you were describing as well as the Global CM9 thread. During your reading you may find and answer in there. I have found more answers that way than waiting on someone to direct me there anyway. That is all the advice I can provide with my limited knowledge.

Ok, I don't know if anyone else is having the same problem as you. I hope I don't offend you but I am going to take a guess and say that english is not your first language as some of that is difficult for me to read and completely understand. From what I am gathering is you can connect to your carriers network but only on a temporary basis. Here are the steps I followed to connect to Verizon's network using {10-25-2012}{Rom}{ICS} Official Global CM9 - After a full wipe and clean install and after initial setup I went to (doing this from memory as I don't have it installed at the moment) Settings --> More --> Mobile Networks --> chose CDMA w/EVDO --> Exit out of settings and rebooted. When the phone booted up it recognized the Verizon network and all service and data was all working, I didn't have to change the APN settings at all. If you are still having trouble staying connected I suggest you check the version of radio you are using and consider updating it. Here is the radio thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134451 I don't think I am the best person to assist you but just telling you what I would do if I were in your situation.

Thanks btemtd, great post!

I am also a recent convert (from iphone) to a galaxy s3 and have an i9305T model. I have been doing a bit of research in order to prepare myself to safely root my phone and was stoked to see such a helpful post. I will admit that I am also a noob with this sort of stuff but still do my best to learn what I can.

I just wanted to confirm that the process you have listed will support my aforementioned phone model with telstra as the carrier? I only ask because I remember a previous rooting guide that was only applicable to Optus phones and just want to make sure.

Thanks again for your help

Is unrooting unique per phone or is it the same? When I search unroot, I've seen guides to unroot only for certain phones.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] btemtd:
mrbarbs all you need to do to unroot is use odin and flash Official samsung firmware over the top of what you have. Done... its that easy no need for a guide lol

this will also get rid off CWM and put the stock original recovery back in and also stock kernel.... as a matter of fact stock EVERYTHING
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mrbarbz:

I thought flashing Official Firmware should unroot my device but I was confused because I thought rooting also unlocked the boot loader which made me think I'll need to lock the boot loader again.

btemtd -

Haha, I just joined last week and learning a lot myself. I am an iOS refugee. Trying to get as much info as possible from Android written sources so I don't suck up anyone's time. But I also don't want to brick my phone so I wrote the detailed guide so that any super-noobs like myself won't have any questions to come across and they can do it perfectly. The guides you guys initially put together were perfect but for someone like myself who has just the baseline experience I think it might help to fill in a few blanks and add a little comfort to hesitant noobs who just want to move forward with their knowledge. I was seriously concerned about bricking my phone as I would have been &*&^%$ed and forced to fly out to Hong Kong to buy a new one.

*

Now that I completely understand ODIN, the file types, and flashing processes I can move up to the next step of tweaking my phone for more performance and better security. Flashing kernels looks easy now that I know how to do it. Just got to research one that works!

Hi bleepsake -

Use whatever you need from my post and I don't need any credit or references. Just use whatever you think will help. Furthermore, if you have any questions regarding flashing stock firmware back to the unit you can PM me and I will do my best to find out. make sure you get the country and device specific .tar file from sammymobile. Its free and I can give you the instructions if you need it - just pm me. :cool:

Depends what mods you have ,what kind of rom you have (Aosp.Sammy etc..) Only kernel which allows OC capabilties is perseus at the moment Siyah is coming in the future. You need to re-mod everything Or create your own flashable zip which re-mods everything you have and is able to be used in the I9305. In 1 Flashable Zip... Start learning I now have everything if not MORE mods then what I had on my I9300.. :) But learning this stuff and what works and what doesnt requires trial and error which didnt happen over night.

Usually things that a modded in the System/app folder are the same, also most of the framework is the same.... Honestly read around the forums and check out the roms and check out all the mods we have. Worst comes to worst re-flash another rom as your base then sift through all the mods in here and flash them... Each rom has plenty off mods already inbuilt. ORR reflash a deodexed/zipaligned rom Rooted and start flashing individual mods.

Unfortunatley there is no button that does everything for you , as the devices are not 100 identical there is modification needed. Most important change is the partition location so if your going to test a mod from the I9300 check the updater script if its flashing to a I9300 partition location if so, you need to change the location. If its using Busybox link for the location then you should be fine.

Now if none of this made sense to you then i think you need to do some research in here as most of us have done.. :)

Good luck any questions feel free to ask one of us in here.. Or remember we now have our own Q/A thread

Hey guys, just got my S3 today after finally upgrading from my HTC Thunderbolt which I got at launch. I got really good at the various rooting/romming tasks that went on with that phone, but the S3 is all new to me. I'm trying to follow the instructions in this thread but have hit a snag right off the bat. In the thread about setting up QPST, the first step is to dial *#7284#, which should bring up the PhoneUtil menu. When I dial that, nothing seems to happen. It tries to dial the number and then immediately quits. Due to being a total newb again, I didn't know if I'm missing something simple or if there's something weird going on. Anyway, any help you guys can offer would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome. Maybe you can try dialling other known codes like *#0011# or *#9900# to see if those work. They do different things, but are harmless if you just dial them and then go back.

nop56773, thanks for your help. I tried the two codes you mentioned and *#0011# worked just fine, but *#9900# did nothing. Maybe it's all due to my misidentifying my model of phone.
