US version Galaxy S III rom development - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With the US version having the same hardware, will we be able to flash the same roms on all the carriers? I know we have to flash our own kernel and modem to work on our network.

Negative. International version has exenos and the north America version has the s4 qualcomm

I'm only taking about the us version, they are going to release to all the major carriers at the same time.

But they still got a s4 instead of exenos.

All the us version have the same hardware. When I had the TMO gallery s II we can use all of att skyrocket roms as well all we needed was to flash tmo kernel

gsm and cdma is going to be coded in differently to the hardware so that will be a brick and a half flashing them across eachother

Yes but it's only a small change and I heard it's an easy one too.

actually i don't think its gonna be that bad...as long a rom doesnt include a radio, and you inject the appropriate kernels... roms will for the most part be interchangeable between the US Variants

[Q] S II international V GSM

Hello galaxy s ii community!
I may soon be joining you all but first I have to resolve a small issue before purchasing my gsii. This is the model that I am interested in but am not sure if it will work with at&t's 3g/hspa+ bands.

Good question. The SA denotes South America and I don't see any of the bands listed. Usually the International version is listed as the GT-I9100 not the SA-I9100.
I use my GT-I9100 on AT&T just fine with the $10 Unlimited Data Plan.
Ah :/. Bummer.
I'll have to do a bit more research then.

sprint lte and the galaxy note compatibilty

http://gigaom.com/broadband/sprint-details-first-lte-launch-cities-expansion-plans/
i read in the article above that it seems that both att and sprint will have a similar lte network
any hopes of me just popping a sprint sim to my att note for some truly unlimited data sweetness?

Sprint will have sim cards for LTE. Still, this isn't likely. Even if it did work, a you would have is data. Your note cannot use Sprint's voice network.

Samsung SCH-i889 Galaxy Note
FYI; The recently released Chinese version [Samsung SCH-i889 Galaxy Note] is CDMA, band compatible with Sprint/Verizon, as well as GSM.

Neither the i717 or N7000 models are CDMA band capable.
Note; Even if for some hypothetical reason they were LTE compatible and Sprint had a SIM, you would never get Voice/text.

What's the difference between SGH-T999 and SGH-T999V?

Samsung has source posted for both. What are the differences between these models?
I have an SGH-T999 and it's a blue T-Mo 16GB model (dual-core/2GB ram).
I believe the T999V is the Canadian AWS version.

The SGH-T999v is for WIND in Canada I believe.

According to the following article, it appears that T999 is the US TMo model, and the T999v may be a Canada-specific model.

At first I thought the two source codes may be the same (just identical copies), but they are actually two different sizes.
I know for the SGS2 Bell Canada would have the I9100M compared to the I9100 international version. For the I9000 Bell had the I9100M.
The V could signify its for Wind Mobile or Mobilicity? Usually the firmware for the I9100 would work flawlessly on the I9100M only difference was some modem files had to be borrowed from the M roms. Same for the I9000.
Continuing with the trend i would wager a guess that the I999 firmwares would work on the I999V. Whatever the differences are if your having specific problems (likely radio if anything) just borrow the modem file and away you go.
Why all the different versions? Because specific carriers like to tweak their phones just a little. FFC, no FFC, NFC or no, Specific frequency bands, theres lots of options and each one needs a slightly different number / letter.
Hope it helped! (If it did hit thanks!)

I have the s3, from Videotron, and my model# is also SGH-T999v, and I just assumed the v was for videotron, but I guess all Canadian models have it.

GT-i9300 has 4G?

This screenshots were sent from a friend that says that his cellphone is receiving 4G, however i also have the same GT-i9300 factory unlocked, but bought from the US. His S3 is bought from Orange Dominicana Carrier. We both are in the same network. But i only receive H+, while he receives 4G. Does this mean that there are GT-i9300 with LTE? Or mine is not configured properly?
IMPOSSIBRU!!!!
On a serious note, I was sent a text from T-Mobile uk saying that later this year I would be able to get 4G
Here's hoping
Regards
Jack
Edit: unfortunately after having restored a nandroid backup, I have lost the text, doesn't seem like i have a great deal of credibility now oh well
Yes or No then?
Yes or No then? because as u can see in the pictures, it appears he has 4G. And im pretty sure he has the GT-i9300.
The gt-i9300 only has hspa+, it may say 4g but it's hspa+.
The LTE version is the i9305 and isn't out yet.

Probably not, different frequencies for LTE, otherwise Sammy would just use the US version in European LTE markets.
Goes to show that the quad exynos is their preferred platform.

[Q] will Galaxy S3 have 4g connection capabilities on THREE UK?

I am interested to know if samsung galaxy s3 will be compatible with 4g in the UK on the 3 network.

No it won't. The current S3 does not have the hardware required for 4G. A new version that does support 4G will be released soon.
If you have the gt-i9300 which you probably do......you are out of sheer luck like us all !!!!! Grrrrr......
Three UK wont have any 4G infrastructure for a while anyway.
