Exactly...! Although if you purchase a StraightTalk ATT sim (hard to find) you can switch to Straight Talk and still use ATT service with NO ETF. If you get a ATT Straight Talk sim, your still considered an ATT customer, same vmail and vmail password. I still get the ATT txt msg updates. But when I try to check balance using ATT codes it of course can't locate my account. The sims are kinda pricey, but they can be had on ebay/amazon for around $54. I ported mine and my g/f's line over and we're both still under contract and no ETF.

However if we leave straight talk before our original ATT contract is up, then we'll get dinged with an ETF. It's only HSPA+, but so far its working out very well. We have unlim voice, txt, data(really 1.5gb hspa+) for $45 a month each. However there are refill cards on ebay that run $76 for a 3mo card which ends up being $25 a month each. We're still on ATT service, but only pay $25 a month. You can switch to the Straight Talk TMO Sim and use Tmo service, but if your under contract, you'll get hit with an ETF. Unless this new change fulfills your contract.

On a side note: I also got out of Sprint this way. However, there is a huge slickdeal about this, and nobody has gotten out of their ATT contract using this new change.

Straight Talk says unlim data, but really its capped at 1.5gigs. My girlfriend and I never use more than 300-500mb b/c we're always on wifi. It could be too early, but so far we're loving ATT service at $25 a month and data is still fast. This ATT ETF loophole I think is part of the reason why ATT pulled all Straight Talk ATT sims, and now only Tmobile Straight Talk sims can be purchased. But ebay/amazon sellers still have the ATT sims for Straigh Talk for $54-$100. I wouldn't pay $100, but $54 was a steal.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
wait, I can switch to Straight talk without paying an ETF?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nuprotocol:
As long as you purchase one of those overpriced Straight Talk ATT Sims. ATT had Straight Talk pull them. Now Straight Talk only offers Tmobile Sims.

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...rt-from-AT-amp-T-to-Straight-Talk-without-ETF

I purchased mine for $54 each. My g/f just reup'ed her contract b/c she got the One 64gb. My contract is due to renew in Dec of this year. Both of us ported and no ETF. But it has to be an ATT Straight Talk sim, not the Tmobile Sim.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
gotcha. Well my wife hates changing stuff like this and she just renewed us in November. I am upgrade eligible again in August myself.

If/when sprint gets LTE here I'll go back to them, I can still reactivate my dead SERO account at 60 a month for unlimited everything.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nuprotocol:
haha my g/f is the same way. It was pretty painless though. But she had me enter in the APN info and perform the port process. I had SERO as well. Miss that account.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nuprotocol:
It is great news. I know the SIMS really only cost the seller about $15-20. However, being able to stay on ATT service and pay $45-25 a month and no ETF, it was well worth it. I'm not sure of the other sellers. But this is the exact auction I used.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271202854931?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

His sims were actual micro, not cut and activated/ported with no issues. Plus at the time, his was the cheapest.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tjsooley:
I am happy with ATT and all the work to keep my one and port my number just to go to straight talk and save ~20 a month is not worth it to me.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nuprotocol:
I'm happy with ATT as well. I've even happier with only spending about 3mins(work) of porting online and now paying $26 a month for the same service. I paid $30 alone for my 3GB data plan that I never went over 500MB using. I now pay $26 for the entire service. WIN WIN!

Buddy of mine is currently fighting with AT&T about canceling because of this fee. AT&T's last response to him was "sue us"

Guess what he's doing at lunch today, filing in small claims court to get out of his contract. :D

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] LouCub89:
I just got off the phone with atat after talking to a very rude manager who hung up on me. I decided to call in and tell them I need to cancel my contract, they transfered me and the lady said they had a legal department go over everything before even attempting this and since they put it on the bill 30 days before adding it no one can get out of contract. But she said anyone calling in can ask for a credit. I received a $10 per line credit for 3 months, so in total I'm getting $60 off my bill as $20 a month for the 3 months. I hope this may help some people save some money and not get shafted by atat
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shook187:
All this over 61 cents a month. Like I said before, no one's getting out of their contract its wasted effort.

Just give it up guys no one's going to get out of the contract no ones gonna be able to get another upgrade.

Yes they pulled ALL sims, but you can cut down a full sized to micro and it'll still work.

The data is att hspa+ so its fast depending on how fast your current ATT hspa+ is. Straight talk is only good if you dont go over 1.5gigs a month.

re: wireless chargers

Yes, I saw a couple of them at a store but they really are not 100% wireless, the wireless chargers

come with a special type of case which the phone has to be in so it can charge charge wirelessly.

The usb cable from the ac wall charger has to be plugged into the base of the charger and the

phone sits ontop of the base with a special case on the phone. So what's wireless about it?

the end of the usb cable which plugs into the base is 3-4 inches from the base that the phone sits on...

In my opinion these wireless chargers are only good for people who have nothing else to think about. LOL

Those cases make the phones a bit thicker and ugly.

I bought a T-Mobile Galaxy S 3 LTE with model number SGH-T999L. I used Odin V3 1.85 to flash TWRP recovery and CyanogenMod 10.0.0.

Everything went well but my camera doesn't work. On launching the camera, I get a "Can't connect to camera" error and it quits. The same behavior is observed when using other camera apps. I tried the instructions in this thread(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239414) but it did not fix my problem. I now want to go back to my stock ROM. I successfully downloaded and flashed stock recovery using Odin. However, Odin fails when I try to flash the stock ROM obtained from the samsung website. It gives me a "write failed" error and stops. Any tips or suggestions to help me out would be appreciated. Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Is it supposed to use T999 firmware?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Only odin flash T999L firmware. I dont see it released yet at samsing-updates.com though.

Maybe samfirmware.com? I can look later.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: sure fix

Why not reflash the stock ODIN flash rom and make sure it all works ok for you, that will tell you exactly what the problem is.

If the stock rom is working properly, then there is only one thing left which is the culprit and that is the CM10/AOKP/AOSP

or PORTED roms which many people seem to like flashing.

The CM10/AOKP/AOSP and ported roms are excellent if you are a developer or if you like to do a lot of experimentation with your phone.

So the thing to do now is reboot your phone to recovery mode, do a "Factory Reset", "Wipe Cache", "Wipe System" and "Wipe Dalvik".

When that's done Open Odin and put the stock rooted T999 Tmobile Jellybean 4.1.2 into Odin's PDA slot, go into download mode

and once you see Odin is connected to the phone start the flash. Have patience for the phone to boot after its done flashing.

Here is the stock rooted Odin flash T999 Tmobile Jellybean 4.1.2 rom that you can download if you like: T999_UVDMD5

Official JB Firmware - Latest JB 4.1.2 Firmware

My suggestion to you is to only flash Samsung T999 Tmobile stock based Jellybean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 roms in the future.

But who am I to say whats best..... This is just my personal opinion...... Which usually is not worth a dime. LOL
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sorry, but untill we know more about it, I would not flash T999 firmware onto the T999L.

If you decide to try anyway, please post your results
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] newidforu:
I am a newbie. I thought the T999 was the same as the T999L. That would explain why Odin doesnt flash stock T999 onto my device. Can anyone here post a link to the stock SGH-T999L ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just did a quick check and I dont see that the firmware has been made available for download yet.

If you want stock I would flash one of the stock based custom roms via recovery for now.

Out of curiosity, what is your current baseband version?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] newidforu:
Baseband version is T999LUVAMB7. Still waiting for stock ROM to be released on samsung-updates or sammobile.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] faytx1:
I had the same issue with the same phone. Got it 2 weeks ago haha. Did you happen to make a backup first using CWM Recovery? If so, you can just restore that backup and you'll have your camera functionality back. It's pretty annoying switching back and forth from CM10.1 back to stock just to take pictures but Rom manager makes it pretty quick and effortless.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Actually now that I think of it, they prob wont release the original firmware. Seems like the first build is never available, only when an update is released do we get firmware we csn download.

I am working with another member on getting something going for the T999L, but right now we are stuck until a verified safe method of rooting is found. (Dont want to flash a recovery or cf autoroot w/o knowing it wont screw something up)

Itll happen, but we just gotta be patient.

Just reread the op and see that you say you flashed TWRP. So you were able to initially gain root without any problems?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] newidforu:
I used Odin to flash Clockwork Mod recovery first. I did not like Clockwork Mod's interface and reflashed with TWRP. I had no problems to gain root with either of these methods. I also tried Cyanogenmod stable 10.0.0 and then 10.1 RC2 without any problems. As far as I can tell, all apps work except for the camera. One word of caution though. As you can see from my posts, I am new and dont know what I am doing. I might have just gotten lucky since my device is still unbricked. I had only one "scary" moment during the entire process. I used TWRP to wipe my phone clean and was stuck with no OS install file. ADB sideload did not work since it could not recognize the device at that point. Luckily, I had a micro SD card lying around and was able to put in a new OS install file using my laptop and then TWRP was able to handle it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] newidforu:
tsticge aye

Wish I had made a backup! Could you zip up the files contained inside "/system/cameradata/" folder and post a link here? It would help me and anyone else with the same problem restore the camera's functionality. In case you want to try it out, follow the instructions in this link but using the files from your stock backup

I shut the phone down, pull it apart, remove broken screen, attach new screen and reassemble...Phone boots and looks great but now the touch screen doesn't respond!!!
