I figured this topic is a question, therefore I did not post it in the accessories forum.
I was wondering if it is possible to use a dual sim adapter for the Galaxy S3. For the S2, I have a no cut adapter, which fits under the battery cover without a problem.
Since the S3 is using micro sim, this becomes more complicated. A cut adapter is impossible. A no cut adapter would possible. There are some multi sim adapters for the iPhone 4s. Does anyone have one and could tell me if it is possible to use with the Galaxy S3?
The adapter would also allow to use standard size sim. I don't know how thick the adapters are, perhaps they also fit under the battery cover. It is a shame that the S3 uses micro-SIM with the size of a 4.8" phone, even the slot is exceptionally big, I suspect it was changed later just so people can plop in their SIM cards from their iPhones.
Id be interested in this if you could find one that fit under the cover.
Here is an adapter.

Any idea if the dual adapters made for iPhone 4 would work? because I've seen them for $5.
I think the iph4 adapters will work also.
bigger question is will they fit under the back cover of the s3!?
can anybody tell me if there is 1mm room between the back cover and the battery? (or if the back cover can be snapped back in with a small "lump" because of the extra sim)
The back cover's very flexible so it should fit no problem, and I ordered an iPhone dual adapter for $5.40 last week so i'll give that a try when it turns up.

I've tried 2 different brands of iPhone 4 adapters on my s3 and it doesn't work at all. I've had a few adapters over the years from www.magic-sim.com who have been great but they don't seem to have an adapter for the s3 available right now. I'll email them and ask why.
Here's an adapter for $5.74 with free worldwide shipping

Hi everyone...
I upgraded my phone a while back, and once again need many new accessories.. I already have a HTC branded spare battery... but seeing as my Touch Pro cradle will not charge the spare battery nor dock my TP2, I need a new cradle.. anyone here have a spare/extra one they want to see that will work with a US Cellular branded TP2?
On many websites they say they only work with tmobile, or only att, or only VZW, or only sprint... I need one that will work properly for my phone... and I really need the battery charger slot.. actually right now I would even settle for just a battery charger... Let me know what you have.... or if you can reccomend a decent cheap one from some site. I got my Touch Pro one for under $10..... I would like a simmilar price range... I also am up to trade my touch pro cradle with a number of extra batteries for one... Thanks in advance!
The ones for Sprint phones will work. Make sure it is for a Touch Pro 2 your search results will include chargers for the older Touch Pro.
This is the one I got, and it works great/perfect.

Guess I over looked you saying this was a US Cellular... and I believe as the other poster said, a Sprint one should work. Check these two out.

Hi folks,
I had a hell of a time finding the right adapter for my 7.0+ and want to make sure about this.
Can I use the adapter I have for my TMobile S2 on an AT&T Note 1?
Th GS3 and Note 2 MHL adapters are compatible while the S2 and Note 1 MHL adapters are compatible.
Sweet, thank you!

Do you need the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter too?
My new puppy Sirius literally chewed up my charging cable about 5 minutes ago. It appears to still work but I would like to order a new one. I looked online and I really can't tell which ones are official or not. The one I found it actually says Samsung on it is a little over 3 feet long however the stock cable seems much longer than this. I don't have a tape measure near me, so I can't check the length of the cable that was included with my phone. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Preferably not eBay for reasons I would rather not get into right now lol. I just want to order the official, identical Samsung cable.
I got one of these. It works great.

If you're using it to charge your phone, best to test with GCC to ensure it can provide the requierd output.
There's really no reason to buy an official one unless you really like the look and don't mind paying a premium. Amazon essential cables should do the trick (USB 3.0 for higher data transfer speeds or 2.0 for charging) that being said not all of them are capatible with all cases (depends on the size of the opening in your case)

If you want an official Samsung usb cable, go to Best Buy and buy one there or order one from Samsung's website
90% of the cables sold on ebay are not oem, many claimed to be oem, but they are not, they look idential, I even got one direct from china, cannot even tell the different side by side, apart from the shop telling me it's not original.
just get a good quality third party one.

The official cord looks so nice though :'( lol I think I'm going to get the Amazon one you recommended. I found some Samsung ones but they are all around 3 feet and I know the stock cable is longer than that.

No, and you have had two opportunities to tell us over your last two post, but you must NOT know either, (or refuse to tell us)
I have spoken with Samsung about this at length. The ONLY USB 3.0 CABLE FOR THE NOTE 3 YOU CAN GET AT THIS TIME is sold only with the phone and you only get one. All others are fakes (unless you can buy one from someone who wants to give up the one they received with their Note 3, which is very unlikely). The people at Samsung told me on the phone they will start selling the Note 3 USB 3.0 cables several months into next year, probably May or June. Call if you doubt what I am saying.

I must say, W.T.F.?! Have you tested it to verify it does USB 3.0 speed transfers rather than USB 2.0 speeds? I actually am looking for some because using just that rather than the regular cable just for charging would make the connector on the phone last longer (better on the wear and tear).

Charges at the same rate as the stock cable according to Galaxy Charging Current from the app store. The cable is thick and a little bit longer than the stock cable. Have had it for 2 weeks now with 0 issues

I've had the cable over a week now, use it only on my laptop in which my laptop only has USB3 ports on it .. that was the main reason for purchasing a second cable. So, yes .. tested and connectivity as USB3 .. no problems.
Thanks! Just ordered three of them

Hi all, I'm looking at pre-ordering but seems its possible the UK only gets the single sim version. Can anyone confirm? Even carphone can't be 100% sure but they say that if theres a choice from the manufacturer, then Carphone Warehouse choose the non-dual sim version.
Dual sim is very important to me hence why I'm asking.. If anyone knows - do let me know.
I am wondering the exact same thing. All previous huawei phones they have sold have been single sim so I would assume this will be no different. According to GSMArena a single sim version does exist so chances are it's that one carphone will stock. It would be a shame though as their price is pretty good and includes a smartpen thing but single sim would be no good for me either
Called them again and they do say its single sim... :/
Yea price is great at £699 plus that free moleskin thingy..
For UK single sim only, and only titanium grey color
http://consumer.huawei.com/uk/phones/mate10-pro/specs/
If you can get someone to buy one for you from Germancy, France or Netherlands, you can get the dual sim version and in other colors options as well:

http://consumer.huawei.com/fr/phones/mate10-pro/specs/
http://consumer.huawei.com/nl/phones/mate10-pro/specs/
And in Germany you are getting the Moleskine pen as well:
http://www.huawei-promotion.de/denkt-mit/
To get the free moleskin in Germany , you need a German address for the gift to be posted to. Amazon Germany has the blue. Main issue is the plug isn’t UK standard and if you want fast charge then you’ll you need the UK one.

That's not true. Even if you get the official Huawei Fast charger in the box but it has the wrong pins for your country, just use a travel adapter. I got mine from China. It came with a 2 pin official fast charger and a 3pin UK adapter. Super Charging works fine with an adapter.

Also, fast chargers aren't exactly friendly to batteries, so if you do get a foreign charger just use a standard brick and help maintain your battery. Keep the 2 pin with UK adapter for when you really do need a fast charge.
Showing delivery tomorrow, 16th, instead of the 17th as previously advertised. That'd be great. I should have in my hands tomorrow the pro then.

Your post encouraged me to check the radio specs for this "international version" I was able to place my order last night at amazon.de and says it'll be here 23-24th. The total after Expedited shipping was 850.xx. The price dropped after I went to checkout.

Yup, I received my Pro on the 16th around 1pm, was fantastic to have it a day before advertised although it didn't include a nano SIM so I had to go hunting around town for one.

It seems the variant sold in the UK is single SIM only. What are the chances of somehow activating that second SIM slot?
Not sure on the SIM issue, but can I ask where you ordered from and which firmware you had. I am in the UK also looking to buy, not sure what I will need. thanks in advance.

I've not ordered yet, the only place to order so far in the UK is Carphone Warehouse who are only selling single SIM version. I'd rather dual SIM which can be bought from Amazon.de
I take it from that you are looking at the Pro, was looking at the standard 10 myself which is why i was curious.

Hi. I'm in the UK. I bought the 4/64 Mate 10 from Wonda Mobile. Think it's the Chinese version but they put the international Rom on before shipping. Mine arrived with a UK charger which was an unexpected bonus as they had said would be Chinese plug with adaptor.
