[Q] I9300 Baseband Radios? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Either I'm missing something or no one has done one of those concise all encompassing most important threads that includes all types of goodies in one place.
I am using an international note, i9300 on AT&T and wanted to see if any other, I guess countries' baseband/radio would work better for my area. Stock (I9300UBLF2) seems to obtain a slightly weaker or less signal than my AT&T Note did previously.
Anyone mind pointing/linking me?
Thanks,

Excellent search skills, I am lacking.. I appreciate your help.
EDIT: who would have thought, you have to ask the right question to get the right answer. I searched for baseband and radio, but didn't think of modem.. lol

[Q] Please help me to choose between i9100 and i777

i had a thrill 4G(unlocked) and now I am going to buy a galaxy s2 from ebay. So few questions for you guys
this might be crazy though but i just want your help
unlocked I777 price is lower than i9100 on ebay --why is that?
According to gsmarena i777 got a talk time of 18hrs while i9100 has about 18hrs (at&t web site also says talk time in i777 is 8hrs) Any difference in battery department ???
Thanks guys

+1 it depends on your location. Don't think a new thread should have been created for this though. You could have easily gotten your answer through a simple search

The i777 and the i9100 are mostly the same.
Differrences:
I am not certain whether there is a radio chip on the i777 but the i9100 does have radio
It is locked on to the at&t network unless you buy the unlocked one
And specially in Sri Lanka the phone would be more exclusive because many owners have the i9100...
The i777 has the NFC chip built in to the battery and the i9100 does not
These are the basic differences. I have posted a link which explains many differences further....
Developer support for both these roms has been exceptional and are still continuing...

IMO Price reduction may be due to the carrier supplying these devices at a subsidized price. But I am not aware of the exact reason. Are you purchasing brand new or used?

In general I'd recommend an international over a carrier version.
Intl has better resale value and less bloated stock software.

I like the capacitive buttons myself as why I didn't go with the international version.

Guys im not new to google or xda .. I made lot of searches for my doubt and at the end i created this thread to get xperts idea !
There should be a delete button for the thread so that i could delete this. Because i know this is not that valuable for others. Dont you guys this so?
Not every thread is important for everyone. In my case i answer so called useless threads over there. Because they might not be important to me, but foe the creator.
definately the i777 following the reasons outlined before
777 vs 9100

[Q] Network Lock Status Code Not working.

Hey everyone.
I have the Canadian SGH-I747M model S3 from Bell Canada.
I try'd to use the Network Lock status code to see about SIM locks and *#7465625# doesn't work. Appearently it works for teh AT&T model I747 though so what does this mean? Is my phone completed unlocked and locks were never even setup at the factory to begin with or is there something else going on?
I try'd asking in the AT&T section Q&A but my question fell on def ears no one knows/cares.
Thanks.
Code works fine on international model.
Appears you device model just doesn't support the code.

No problem.
Sorry for a lowly User answering your question.
As I said, obviously the code doesn't work for your device model. Your model is not the international I9300, so your posting on the wrong forum anyway....
Maybe change your title to "Devs need only reply"
Edit: you didn't mention you new the code works for the international version, that's why I included the screenshot of what to expect.

You miss understand me.
I ment a dev or someone with more in dept knowledge as to why the code is not working such as the possibility of being with out any locks or something other then "oh well it just doesnt work with yours" not helpful . I also mentioned that the AT&T I747 model works with the code and it is the exact same phone hardware wise, only difference is slight changes in firmware by the carriers.
I have already said I asked in that sections Q&A and got no where, and so I am here looking for someone more experianced, I came here because the more experianced devs and knowledgeable people work on the international model.
Theres no need to be rude.
On the contrary mate, I deemed your response to be rude :banghead: We're all here to help each other
As I said, you never mentioned that you knew the code worked on our model ! Otherwise why I would post the screenshot?
Learn to be more specific in your posts buddy, then you'll maybe get the answer you need, and without wasting users time.
Sorry for not being off any help
Peace

hey, im using international variant and the code doesn't work from me too? maybe because im using custom rom?

What Sub Forum Do I Go To??

I just Got this phone yesterday. Had a Mytouch 4g before and always messed with it.
But this phone has so many Sub-forums that i dont know where i can go or where i shouldn't.
I have a T-mobile GS3. Can i use roms or mods from the other carrier sub forums or even the S III I9300 sub forums?
What is the difference from Original Android Development sub forums and Just Android Development
Thanks in advance. I know this is a noob question. so if mods want to delete or move, please direct me to the correct place if this is the wrong place to ask this.
Stay here, don't go to the international sgs iii forum.
If you want to flash a ROM pick one from the T-Mobile section (i think that's who you said was your provider).
Original development is stuff built from scratch/source. Regular development is stuff based on stock Rom.
Hope this helps

Yea that clears everything up. 1 more question.
Why can't I use the other providers section. I'm guessing the each carrier has something that won't work on the others?

All the carriers models are different if not something major like cdma vs. gsm, something software related to fit that specific carrier. Make sense?

Yup, Lock This up Mods. :good:

Which rom works with what carrier?

I'm due for a new phone on October 1st through sprint, and I already have my mind set on the galaxy s3.
Although after looking through the forum I see that there's a bunch of roms. Which is a good thing, except none of them are marked as to which carrier they work for (that I've seen.)
So without having to ask each thread, is there something that I'm missing? Basically, is there some way of telling which one will work with which carrier?
I'm coming from the evo that was a sprint only phone. So it was pretty simple in that there was no choosing.
Thank you,

Considering you're in the i9300 forum, what do you think? All ROMs made for the i9300 will work for all kinds of i9300, and there's only two types of the i9300, the 16GB model and the 32GB model.

I'm using tapatalk and thought I was in the right place. Until I started seeing roms for different countries, I got a little skeptical.
I had a feeling that it was a simple answer, I just wanted to be sure. Lol

The only thing that "should" differ country-wise would be localization and language. Nothing else.

[Q] needed help to unlocked i717

hi i bought locked in calgary galaxy note i717 (already have cynogenmod version 10.0.0-RC0-quincyatt & paranoid android version 2.21)
how can i find carrier of my i717
I don't understand your question. Are you asking what carrier the phone is locked to? Model number under battery will tell you that? Are you asking how to unlock phone for any carrier? I believe with Canadian Notes it is better to use a third party unlocking service (like from ebay) to get the phone unlocked if it already isn't. But on the other hand I think some Canadian Notes come unlocked from factory. If the phone is unlocked, maybe you just need to enter the APN for your carrier.
For future reference, questions should be posted in the questions and answers section.
OP yes please explain your question and this has been moved to the Q&A. Thank You
Go to www.samfirmware.com and you can find the stock carrier rom. You can flash it with Odin software and a pc and the charging cable.
When you flash it your phone won't be rooted anymore.
I thought my answer was sufficient but OK.

Where is your answer Sir? I only see the post I quoted. Maybe the Tapatalk app doesn't show all replies? I don't normally jump in on a good answer, and I don't much like it when others do it to me, either.
It got deleted because I advised op to stab himself in the thigh with a fork to make sure he was awake because there are so many copies of this thread lying around within the first few pages. No search utility even required.

Ok, that's a good answer. But I was pushing for a solution. I like the cockroach joke in the other unlocking thread three post from this one.

Well Sir, your jokes or comments are not helping....there is a right way and wrong way to provide assistance and your way is not right.
If it bothers you so much that individuals are asking and looking for assistance, then stay out of the Q&A threads. Now I do not mind showing members assistance but bottom line they have to figure it out them self's. Teach them, not bash them.
Again if I see you bashing instead of providing, Stand By Sir. Thank You
Why do you refuse to enforce the first rule of XDA? SEARCH!
This is allowing the boards to become a haven for laziness and helplessness.

Dear All seniors
Thanks for your valuable suggestions
the phone which i bought was locked to roger. i flash last night with stock rom
now i have 2 question
a how to carrier unlock galaxy note i717r
b which rom should i flash my galaxy note so i work with mobilicity
thanks
You have to get an unlock code. That is something you purchase from ebay.
The Rogers rom is ok, but you have to flash a modem. Any modem compatable with t-mobile will work for you.
Dear just unlocked my phone
only one problem is left which is to used with mobilicity
so can u send me the link to get flash with a modem so my phone can run with mobilicity
