galaxy s3 noob here - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all,
I have a t mobile sim card (US) and im interested in getting an s3, but i have a few questions.
When will i be able to get the unlocked version and if so which version is the best one? Will it support sms/mms? Will it support some sort of mobile network if i plan to purchase service in the future? Which version would have the most support for rooting, custom roms etc..
thanks

Will send i9300 in Canada from China, what do I need to know?

Hi Guys,
I live in China and I want to send a SGS3 i9300 to my son in Canada(for Xmas). Before I send it I will root it and I would like to flash a custom ROM.
Up till now any ROM that I've flashed worked here(in China) no problems. But I'm not familiar with the Canadian network.
So I'm wondering if..
-Will any ROM work?
-Does it matter if he is on At&t or Verizon or Rogers etc..?
-Do I need to change the modem?
As you see, I'm asking myself a lot of questions(maybe for nothing). If anyone can give me some infos about that would be very appreciated.

I use a S3 in Canada (i9300). It will work without any problems on Rogers, Fido, Bell, Virgin Mobile, Telus and Koodo. HSPA frequencies are compatible.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 LTE GT-I9205

Hello everyone,
I'd like to find out, if you can help me, the following information about my Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 GT-I9205:
I am from Brazil and I have recently bought this phone in the UK on a business trip at Heathrow Airport. It was not a carrier shop, just a regular electronics shop. The phone is unlocked and working normally with my Brazilian carrier.
My questions are:
a) With the recent releases of KiKat 4.4.2 in Russia and USA for the Galaxy Mega, is there a way for me to find out (through IMEI or model number) if my phone is associated with a carrier? There was no information about it when I bought it and I just wonder if the release of KiKat for my device will depend upon this associated carrier (if there is one) for me to have it.
b) My version of the Galaxy Mega is the LTE version (GT-I9205) as opposed to the other international version (GT-I9200) and also different model number from the American one. I was thunking about trying one of the custom ROMs for the Mega but, as far as I know, the KitKat update is only related to the GT-I9200 model. Would that pose any problems if I tried to use a ROM on a different device model?
Thanks for your help!
Hi if you brought it unlocked in UK I prrseume from Dixon's travel or similar then its not associated with any carrier at all. If you flashed a ROM for the i9200 on the i9205 you would loose LTE. If you are on stock ROM you could just flash the latest from Sammy mobile be mindful of Samsung Knox. Otherwise you could flash a custom rom . I have to say for this phone and its lack of memory I moved to resurrection remix which is feature full stable and fast.

Thanks for the reply! I figured the phone was unbranded and yes, I did buy it at Dixon's Travel!
The only thing I wonder now is we have seen all these carriers releasing KitKat for the Mega, how will it reach unbranded phones - will it take longer or Samsung will release accordingly with the carriers? Just a general wondering.

935U instead 935V

Hello,
I received an S7 edge from USA Verizon version 935V and unfortunately 4G does not supported in Morocoo wit MAT, I found after that the current version in Morocco is 935F that support 4G
After an update to android 7.0 by Odin I lost IMEI config, and my phone is full with Verizon apps :crying:
I would like to know if it is possible to put an official ROM of 935U instead my 935V
Thank you in advance for your support and sorry for my question I'm a starter and did not found an answer to have 4G on my mobile and IMEI work well
