[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
First off, I am new to Android devices.

I got a Nexus S 4g, and I really only wan to play games on it. I have AT&T, and got this used phone for free. So, instead of getting an Android tablet, I have a phone I can play with.

This includes flashing things as it's already unlocked!

So, I really only want three things (other the stability) if possible, the ability to turn off cellular usage and keep WIFI on, good performance for apps, and battery life.

Any suggestions on what Android OS to be running (ICS or JB) and a ROM & Kernel combination that would work? I have played around with a number of them, but I can't seem to notice any real difference.

I can and already have flashed a number of things, including having to flash the Android open source JB because of being stuck with Clockwork recovery not allowing a USB mount and the phone not booting from trying JellyBam.

Got TWRP on, and I'm happy with it. I also got an extended battery at 1850mAh.

I suppose I should have been more clear, I plan on using it like a mini tablet. As such, I don't need the cellular option, and that's why I would like to if possible disable it so it won't try to connect with the Sprint network.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
You should have done your homework. Ns4g is a CDMA phone. At&t is a gsm carrier. You can't activate it on any carrier but sprint.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewddickey:
You should still be able to use WiFi without activating it on Sprint.

SlimBean RC2 has been working well for me. No issues. WiFi always on. Battery life has been good as well with standard battery.

And this should have been posted in the Q&A section. Just sayin...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
I'll try that out.

Sorry... if someone wants to move it, they can.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
Yup...I noticed they mentioned in the OP they wanted to use att service, so in that circumstance this wouldn't work. But as you said, it will work with WiFi. That's what I'm doing with mine. I ordered my N4 this morning and I'll keep the ns4g as a dev device.

Well you can use it on cricket or other providers like cricket.

CyanogenMod 10. It is fast and stable on the Nexus S4g.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlxanthus:
Use without cellular and get speed eith life?

Type *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer and it will open a testing menu. Open phone info and scroll down and turn off radio. Now the cellular radio will not operate at all or use any battery, so your battery life will jump quite a bit. Also some roms have a function to hide the radio signal indicator. As an added bonus, you can use google voice and grooveIP to make and recieve phone calls and texts over a wifi connection for free!

Edit: this works on every rom I have tried.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
True, but the battery died in about 2 hours of WiFi usage. When I got the phone, it had CM9 RC2 on it already. That's with trying a couple different kernels and setting the CPU to "On Demand". It wasn't worth it.

I went into there, and it already said it was off. I guess turning off cellular data kills the radio as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
I was simply saying that I don't want the radio on because I am on AT&T. I should have explained that because I can't use it, I would rather disable it so it's not using any of the battery.

OP first you need to familiarize yourself with the Forum Rules on posting in the correct section, Moved to here. Thank You.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
Oddly enough, I have had SlimBean RC2 preform random reboots. It's a shame as it seemed to go so well and I really liked the custom DPI settings.

Update : Seems that I had something of an improper flash. I used TWRP and ran multiple flashes in a row.

I ran it again, and flashed the ROM, restarted into recovery, flashed GApps inverted, repeated, and flashed the Matr1x CFS kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
Is there a way to replace the per-installed Holo launcher? I like the Nova Launcher as it seems to use less RAM and I can have everything with a cube animation. If possible, I would like to remove the Holo HD Launcher as I have no need for it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlxanthus:
You can use titanium backup to push nova to system and then freeze holo if you like or ever remove it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
I have found after replacing the launcher, SlimBean has become unstable. Every so often, it crashes and reboots. Aside from re-flashing, any other advise?

Also, the battery life seems to be just so so. I tried the kernel included and Matr1x 25.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
AOKP with Matr1x seems to be rather stable and ok with the battery.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lilizblack:
Ive been wondering why the i747 board cannot run 3g/4g on Tmobile. The boards has the same model imprinted (i747M and t999). The thing, so far that difference them are the white labels with the build number along With ATT or TMB. If this is indeed correct then t999 software might be flash to work unless there is an external 1700 antenna, different chip soldered that is barely visible. Or a soldered point like the i9300 that activates the frequency. After all the Note 2 i317 was able to activate the AWS antennas, they're awful but it works.

Here are few images with a t999, a i747 and a i9300 board:

Any thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] buttsak:
They look the same. I feel like its a software lock...kinda like bios on a PC. I have an att gs3 on T-Mobile and have been messing around with some codes I was able to get hspa once but it went away really quick. I would love for someone to get it figured out so I don't have to buy a T-Mobile ver
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lilizblack:
Any suggestions I can test it here. I have all versions available here. i work on a repair shop and i also program phones. Ive been trying to make att work on tmo. With the note 2 it worked but i got weak signal I had to create an external antenna on the R1 to get better signal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] buttsak:
I'm at work now I know *#4636#*#* was one of them and the other was the one I used to unlock the phone. I got stuff written down I'll let u know when I get home
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
I know that there is an option to select radios and frequency under *#2263#. You have to first unlock RAT restriction thru *#197328640#

Using the options I mentioned, you are restricted to using only that which is chosen (i.e. 3G only, 2G only, LTE only). Every time you reboot the RAT restrictions are back in place. On another note, there is a way to turn off LTE only. I know the creating the 3G apn but you get random full network drops. If you make a fake apn just naming it fake and apn name fake and save. Then select. Then go into *#*#4636#*#* and select GSM auto (PRL). You might have to play with it for a moment but it will take and then you can select WCDMA Preferred. Go back to APNs and select the normal 4G default APN. This will leave the LTE turned off until you reboot or go in and out of airplane mode.

EDIT: As far as I know these features are only available in stock rom. I have had no luck on AOSP roms at all. My guess is that it is one of three things: firmware lock, sim lock, or a missing connection on the board. Since it can be "tricked" into network preference and other sims do not seem to work, I am leaning towards some kind of firmware. Unfortunately there is not currently a version of QPST floating around that officially supports the SGS3 board so there is no way of testing from that end.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dbmason23:
From what I understand, you use the above codes to select the proper radio frequencies and use Odin to flash a few modems. Sorry I have no idea about the details, it's something I looked into doing not never had the guts to attempt.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
there were times i really wanted to just flash tmobile's cm10 rom just to test if it works (after done some research, att s3 and tmo s3 are pretty much alike but the frequencies on data)

there were also times where i wanted to mess around with the network locks too

but i never got the guts to try it, thinking it might brick my phone lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
Guys the issue lies in the antenna hardware. They are made to run on the frequency that the company that places the orders need. You would need to change the hardware antenna and then recode the board to use it. This has only been done once if I remember correctly. More as a proof of concept then anything else.

Wayne Tech S-III
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] m82a1:
This and nothing else. If it was possible to change the radios to operate on different frequencies, through software then we wouldn't have all the different models of the s3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
And of course this is the most logical answer...:p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lilizblack:
Inside the dial code *#197328640# under common>wcdma set channel we have a set 1700 band channel. however at select i get arfcn 0 is invalid.(other options seemd to do the same) does anyone manage to find the partition that the baseband is allocated? Like the skyrocket with " dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/ATT/mdm.bin and dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/ATT/amss.bin" we are able to push the t989 baseband but instead pushing the t999 baseband on the i747.

inside this service mode there's a nv rebuild section. I haven't tried it on i727 nor i9100 but would be awesome to have such on skyrocket or i9100 when they loose imei. Im working around with these phones to find if able. Any help is appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Good luck with that. I was trying to find a way to get network preferences to work thru this menu but have found no way to do so. I think it might have to be with a more current version of QPST to potentially get what I want done.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexandre-P:
Are the chips models the same, under the white circular label?

Plus you see a difference on the board, probably it is the LTE antenna.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Gonna go out on a limb here and say that I think what you are pointing out in red arrows is an intact charging port and one that is broken off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexandre-P:
You may be right. I was thinking the top of the board was on top of the picture. You may be right, the board may be upside-down.

EDIT: camera can clearly be seen at the bottom of the first photo, so I guess you are right. What I'm pointing is probably the USB charger. My bad!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lilizblack:
I checked under the white labels and both chip have the same #numbers except on the bottom (Red square on the picture below). However this # changes in every board i have here. Only top numbers stays the same.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnwait:
PCB

An advice: you should spend more time looking at PCBs and spec sheets ;)

What you're looking at is a NAND Flash chip, and the markings that differ are the serial numbers. The bigger, square one [K3PE0E000A-XG(2)] right by its side is the RAM chip. You can also see the Qualcomm MSM8960 (Snapdragon S4), not too far from them, square and about half their size.

Actually, if you want to look at the radios, you're on the wrong side of the board. Flip it over, remove the shield (the SIM card holder sits on it), and you'll be graced with the radio/amplifier/transceiver chips. As for the antennas, they're not on the main board, but rather embedded in the bottom of the back frame covering the board (when disassembling it), and making contact with the two golden contacts of the pcb on one side of the micro-USB connector (radio-side of the board). Btw, the I9300 board you have already has its shield removed.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxjomamaxx:
I think maybe those would be solder points for lte/hspa antennas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] -Mr. X-:
I don't think those have any function besides identifying the board on the assembly line. If you check the continuity they are all connected to ground, and each other. further more. that solder servers no purpose it is not bridging any pads as the pads are already connected they are not two pads, but one. Also the antennas are built into the back plate.

Perhaps a controversial suggestion in these forums; but how about a Nokia Lumia 620? It does a much better job of being a phone than my Note 2. I use my Note 2 basically as my laptop...I wouldn't consider using it as my phone though given its size, price & complexity.

I also find that some of the core apps on the Lumia have no equal in the Android sphere (Nokia Drive works completely offline; Nokia Music is completely free - and you can store about 12 hours worth of offline music).
