I went for this deal last week as well, bought a Case/Pen combo from Amazon for 15$ w/ free shipping.

I used an additional promo code that has since expired, gave me a $50 statement credit.

I went with the $5 for 25MB of data plan, I plan on using this wifi only or with my unlimited VZW line if LTE band 13 is unlocked.

So after tax this is going to cost 54.43 - 50 + (22 * 5.34) = 132.59 USD

Now to start reading about what I can do with this thing :D Hopefully bootloader unlock, custom recovery and custom rom's are available.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] tprevett:
One thing to note on this tab.. it is does not have the same specs as the wifi tab 3.. this one has 1.5gb ram (wifi is 1gb), this one is 1.7ghz, (wifi is 1.2 or 1.5.. I forget), and this tab has 16gb of storage) It seems to have a few quirks... I seem to have issues transitioning from cellular to wifi once in a while which requires a reboot.. I bought the Samsung folio case, which is pretty nice, and doesn't add bulk.. but sometimes the flip cover keeps the screen active...

I'm happy with my purchase.. 49.99 - Activation fee waved, and I opted for the 15/month plan.. sneaky SOB at the sprint store added a 13.00/month protection plan without telling me. Sleaze!.. Luckily I found it and removed it today. Love WAZE on this this tablet, and this fits perfectly in my console so it's like a huge GPS...

I also see that it's loaded down with useless applications.. I hope root comes soon, and somebody cooks a nice bloat-free ROM for this..

Order mine a few days ago just came in today. Ordering 2 more for the kids (and turning mobile data off.)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] richmc73:
Went in to the store yesterday and picked this up. It was "Tablet Tuesday" that Sprint is doing this month so I walked out of there without paying anything for it. Tablet Tuesday is $50 off on tablets so of the initial price of $49 is still there next Tuesday it can be gotten for free then also.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] lei09:
did the same thing yesterday, however was unable to open a new line so they asked me for a $50 deposit on the line. activation fee was waived b/c of my discount so i did walk out with one for only $50, not a bad deal....only wondering how come there isnt any messaging app? theres a phone# associated with the tab so...
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Basboy:
I went yesterday too but there was no mention of Tablet Tuesday. What do I have to do to qualify for this? Does it have to be a new account? I added the tablet onto my existing Sprint plan.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] richmc73:
I had read about it on s4gru.com so I went in and asked about it. Not sure if every store is doing it. At my local corporate store they are doing it every Tuesday in October.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Basboy:
I wish I knew of this when I went in yesterday. If my store was participating in this, do you think I'll be able to go in with receipt to take advantage of the deal after the fact?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] speed4evr:
I just got mine and I really like it. Do it on sprint.com and use promo code "Mobile50" to get a $50 account credit for doing a new line

ROMs

Would it be possible to use ROMs from the regular Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 with the Sprint one, or would I risk a brick by doing so?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Commodore Calderon:
I got mine rooted and awaiting for custom recovery so far it's great. But I'm spending more time on my note 3 ATM :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] RiotShielder:
How'd you manage to root it?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] .Bambino:
I am thinking about getting this for my nephew for Christmas.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Nitefall:
Go to kingoapp.com and dl the app, once your tab is rooted go to the play store and get supersu and make that the default root app and uninstall the Chinese one
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ryan0260:
I just got mine yesterday. Too good of a deal to pass up. Not the best screen resolution, but lots of good features. I hope some rooms show up pretty quick. Can't stand being stock and way too much bloatware..

The promo code "Mobile50" is no longer valid. Anyone have another?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering why do I need that "RIL" thing or modem or attachement or whatever it could be and not only extracting a firmware, taking the modem.bin and flashing it with Heimdall?

Also, if someone is able to explain me and teaching me how to do to provide myself a "RIL" (sorry if the sentence make no sense, I really don't know what is that file)?

Thanks! :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You can use any modem and may not need a RIL .

I have certainly never bothered over many modems .

When you personalize the lock screen, you have the personal message then under that the time, then the date. My question is how do you get the date to show up? Both boxes are checked for date and time but the date field is completely blank. I've tried checking then uncheck the box and save, turned off personalized lock screen then turned back on.

Considering buying Euro G2 and heard that the Korean QW is superior to the international cover as it is slimmer. Does anyone know the visual differences between these covers so I can ensure correct purchase via ebay?
[G2 Accessories] atsfrnd:
i don't really know about the visual difference between the Korean QW and Int. QW

what i do know is that the Korean QW may not work on the international model, D802

people in my country reporting that the Quick Window function on Send View Cover Flip Case they ordered straight from Korea doesn't work on their int. D802 model, probably due to incompatibility.. although the case itself fit just fine..

the korean version is slimmer because it replaces the removable back cover

I had iPhone 3G as my first phone, following by 4s then i switched to Galaxy s3 in April 2013. I've learned a lot, i've flashed many custom roms, kernel etc.

After seeing Samsung delaying updates and transporting regional lock along with kitkat update are the reason that i come to decision that i will sell my galaxy s3 for Nexus 4 (cant afford n5 yet).

I need your help guys

How good is the battery on nexus 4 compared to galaxy s3?

Idc about storage
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moster2:
This is a q&a thread, so it also belongs there. But to answer your question. Comparing stock of both devices, the s3 definitely wins. Samsung is good at creating a good battery life, even with touchwiz

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trashkutys:
S3 wins hands down. Tho I would recommend getting sony because don't delay the update
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
I disagree.

Bells and whistles like smart stay that doesn't even work properly after the jellybean update or a maybe slightly better camera (though I don't find much difference) doesn't outweight not having proper multitask. Also, neither touchwiz nor aosp have the nexus smoothness. Even my dad's former galaxy nexus feels slightly better than my s3.

If you can live with not having an sdcard or a removable battery, I'd say the n4 provides a better user experience (did try it for about a month). The only reason I'm not getting the n4 is because I'm waiting out the n5.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
This thread would be best off in the Nexus 4 section, most users who browse the S3 forums still have and use the S3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzo.Hasashi:
This is a joke, right? S3 is in overall better then the nexus 4. S3 will get 4.4. Regional lock can be removed. Also SD-Card and removable battery is essential for a phone in my opinion. (Plus, the N4 is an Lg device :eek:) So if you don't plan to go from S3 to N5, stick to the S3!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inferol:
well i am curious how long samaung/other custom devs will continue support galaxy s3 in 2014

cuz S4 still havent recieved 4.3 and 4.4 is already rolling out for Sony flagship device soon, which means this is my last samsung device >.<

And isn't mali 400mp old tho?

i will buy N5 in April then

thanks for the replies :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oomahey:
Duuuuude....4.4 has not even rolled out to Nexus devices. Hell, it hasn't even been announced. No way can it roll out for Sony devices any time soon. :p

I'll have to disagree with the HTC part. My HTC one just got 4.3. I own a note 2 and an s3 and both are still stuck on 4.1. HTC seems to be improving their update speed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyt3rry:
Wait for the new nexus I'm sure you can wait a month or 2 max
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Except if your aiming to the n4 for its price. I seriously doubt the n5 will have the same price the n4 has. The n4 is, at this time, the best bang for the buck around. And I suspect it will continue to be for a good while.

yes. alhumdolillah, it booted

no, sims were working quite well almost on every rom before performing whole flash... but after whole flash no rom seems to detect sims anyhow...

nvram contains imei numbers, i suppose. so it means it is meaningless to get the backup of nvram of another a500

but today i recently discovered a new firmware on the list for the GT-I9500 Exynos Octa (version) - this firmware to be in fact I9500ZNUCMI1

but now its bombed... it hanged and hanged at booting for 20 min then it shut it self off turned it back on 'the firmware encounter a problem' message popped up... i cannot go into recovery mode AT ALL (just download mode) so i thought i will flash my previous stock firmware known as I9500XXUBMG9 but now i cant even do that..... odin just gives me a god damn fail - FOR THE LOVE OF ANDROID HELP ME

- Kies is not running in the background

- USB connections are fine

- Cables are fine

So do i have to fear this is the end ? lol i cannot believe this happened to me on a STOCK firmware.... (lucky for me... all my stuff is backed up on sd)

If you can get into Download mode, all hope is not lost. Uninstall and resinstall drivers, Odin, etc. reboot.

Odin back to stock, immediately boot into stock recovery, wipe data, reboot.

Done.

Still says FAIL when i try to flash I9500XXUBMG9 what am i doing wrong ?

rebooted laptop twice plug in S4 via usb says unknown device when in download mode but odin reconise it flash it and nothing happens on the screen then i get the big fat RED FAIL ............... AHHH
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
The good news is that Download mode is still working. AS long as that's the case, you can get it back. Just keep trying. Switch PCs, switch cables, switch ports, re download a different stock ROM, etc. do whatever it takes to try every variable you can think of.

Eventually, you'll find what's causing it and the ROM will flash successfully. When that happens, get immediately into recovery and wipe data.

(Remove the battery after it flashes, but it back in and hold vol-up+home+power.)

After the data wipe....

Reboot.

Like I said, Download mode means you can find a way to flash, but working with Odin to resolve these issues can sometimes be a PITA. I've had the same thing myself before. Just don't give up. Try to stay calm, and work your way through it. You'll get it eventually.

Edit: Just noticed that you flashed a CHINA firmware. (Why? :confused:) You may be facing this issue because (I think) they use a different pit. There's a thread devoted to resurrecting the device with pit. Maybe check it out.
