[Q] T-Mobile variant? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not to sound noobish, but in searching these forums, the Galaxy s3 threads all seem to refer to the model GT i9300 . I just got my sgs3 yesterday from T Mobile and the model listed is SGH-T999. Am I in the right forum? If not, there seems not to be one for the US T Mobile S3 which seems unlikely. Thanks.

MetroPCS? Will this phone (specifically the GT-I9100) even work on their network? I thought they were a CDMA carrier?
EDIT: hold up. You say "about to get Galaxy S2 I9100 switched over to metro"... does this mean you already have the phone and are switching to Metro? Or did you order the phone and are waiting for it to arrive, and plan to switch to Metro?
Your profile says you are on T-Mobile USA. If you ALREADY have a Galaxy SII on T-Mobile, you probably have the SGH-T989.
If you DON'T already have a Galaxy SII, and you've ordered the GT-I9100, and want full use of 3g/"4g", you will HAVE to go to AT&T or H2O, or any other GSM carrier that may be regional to your area that uses the same frequencies as AT&T. Or, you could stick with T-Mobile, but your mobile data speeds will be limited to Edge.
MetroPCS uses completely different cellular transmission technology, and the GT-I9100 will not even pick up a signal on their network for voice, let alone data.
EDIT 2: For that matter, if you have the T-Mobile variant (SGH-T989), that one won't work on Metro either, for the same reason.
Well it's both I'm picking up the phone after work and I plan to get it flashed to Metro. I was told that the phone is the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I'm doing it for my girl who already has Metro. I have seen other user selling Galaxy S2 already on Metro so I know for a fact that they have the Web & MMS working, I just cant find it for myself! Thanks for the reply by the way!

Who ever told you "Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100" is wrong. There is no such thing.
The I9100 is the international model that operates on GSM.
If it's from Sprint, they meant the "SPH-D710", not "I9100".
You are better off asking in this forum. Someone there may have experience flashing a Sprint variant to Metro.
It's not very likely that anyone here in the I9100 forums is going to be able to help you, sorry.
I think he posted the wrong model>>>>> What Carrier has Galaxy S2 model I9100???? I think sprint model is Sphd710!
Thanks for the Help!!!!

If he said it's flashable to Metro, then yes, he got the model wrong.
NO carrier in the US carries the I9100. It is the international model. But like I said, it works on AT&T for voice and 3g/"4g" (which is what I'm using), and T-mobile USA for voice and Edge.

Is there any Bell SGS3 development?

Hey guys ive been looking for a while now for some development on the Bell Mobility version of the SGS3 but cant seem to find any. Is there anything out there and can you guys point me in the right direction? thanks!
I would think anything that works on the "AT&T Samsung GS III - I747" would work on the "Bell Samsung GS III - I747m". I don't think there is any difference besides the modems. I even used the "AT&T Samsung GS III - I747" root method on my brothers "Virgin Samsung GS III - I747m"(same as BELL) with no problem.
you can find the I747 stuff herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1633

[Q] CSC Code on GT-I9305

Hello everyone,
I now have a SGS3 international model (I9300). It works fine, but i'm thinking of moving on to the next one, namely the I9305.
Through ebay I found a american seller that sells an international I9305.
Everything seems to be in order, and by searching in this wonderful forum many of my questions have been answered. Two (three) questions are still remaining though:
- The I9305 is an international model, but will it also have those specific CSC codes that will work with my provider (dutch t-mobile).
- Will the international model have no problem with (finding) OTA's
The american seller also makes a remark in his advertisement, namely: "Tmobile Data work in EDGE speed , not 3G".
I've asked the seller on what he means by this, but he has not yet responded. I find this remark a little odd, because my international I9300 works on 3G. Perhaps you guy's can help me figure this out as well.
Greetings, RedKingCrab

[Q] Tmobile Samsung galaxy s3 which model?

This is driving me crazy. I have spent the last 3 days trying to figure out which model to get. I want the best speed available. I assume that is LTE 4G. There are too many models available. It is too confusing for me and calling T mobile is useless since none of their employees seem to know what is going on and so far 4 different employees have told me different things.
I am buying an UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy S3. I want the freedom to be able to use any carrier I want when I want. I am in the US. Apparently not all the models of the Galaxy S3 have 4G LTE capabilities. Which model has it please tell me. I just want to buy a phone. I never knew it would be this difficult.
GT i9305 SGH T999 i535. i747. i9300.
If I use Tmobile I want the LTE 4 G. the fastest internet possible.
I am buying the phone on EBAY listed as UNLOCKED
please help me

Questions go in the q&a forum, ask an admin to move your post.
Suggest you buy a phone that will work best in your country, the i9300 and i9305 won't due to region lock on newer firmware.
