Hey, sorry if this question may have been asked before... but I heard a rumor that the pebble blue version of the gs3 sometimes has some problems that the white version doesn't...it's this true? Should I buy a white version from Verizon instead?
Thanks.

Yes this is true. The blue version has a reboot issue. Apparently the colour of the phone causes a kernel panic
Of course its not true.

Yes, happens when the kernel can't work out if the phone is blue, grey or nearly- but-not- quite black, depending on lighting
Joking aside, OP I hope you are aware though that regardless of which colour you go for, Verizon models have a locked bootloader unless you buy a "developers edition" from Samsung. There's also a forum dedicated to the US variants of the S3 so you might want to have a look through that rather than the international forum in case there are specific issues with US models given that the hardware is different
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Some of the early blue ones (international version) had a quality problem with the paint finish.
For that reason, first deliveries of blue ones was delayed, because a load got sent back for rework on "quality" grounds.
That is probably why you have heard there might be an issue.
As far as I know, there is no technical difference. Buy whichever you like best!
Right, thanks. And I'm aware of the locked bootloader.. but I won't mind touchwiz for awhile

Not sure where to put this...but here we go.
As with past devices, including the s2 skyrocket, recent tabs and orig note, I will have the chance to see, touch and play with the Note 2 well before release. Specifically Thursday.
Just as I did with previous devices I wanted to get input on questions to ask etc.
This opportunity has nothing to do with my employment at Sprint. Any information obtained is obtained through relationships prior to and outside of my employment with Sprint.

What problem is this?
Your leak on the original Note was spot on, so I'm excited to see what you dig up, even if you don't get a chance to take pics. Plus, getting hands on this early is indicative that they're already in production, which looks like Samsung is going to go with a semi-simultaneous global launch like the gs3...good news for my buddy who is converting to android for the Note 2 from his iPhone.

You'll just have to wait until tonight/tomorrow to see the roll out yourself or for someone else to post a picture.
I am a firm believer in the pics or it didn't happen rule but you can choose to believe me or not, but I'm not posting a picture someone else can do that especially with how they monitor us employees.
Also you may see posts like this all the time but they never include the baseband kernel software version or anything like that.

Okay, saying this does happen....what's the over/under on how long it takes for people to complain that it's not 4.2.2? :silly:
One little question if I may...if you're an AT&T employee, how come your profile shows you as a Verizon user? Just curious...
Because I worked for Verizon and am grandfathered on unlimited data and they offer LTE in my area and AT&T won't until Q1 2014.

Hey everyone. First time posting in note I forums. Only because I don't own one. But a friend does. Just wondering something on his behalf. He has att model note I. Still running gingerbread. Constantly checks for updates and always says his software Is up to date. Can someone enlighten me on the latest stock update for this device. He's running stock unrooted with no desire to root. Was just curious. Just whoever responds to this please quote me so I get a notification because I don't check these forums. Any ideas what he can do to receive an update if there is one?

In anticipation of the official 4.3 release,I figured I would take the liberty to create this thread to discuss the overall performance of the release.

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I'm actually curious how much different it's going to be from the 4.3 AT&T rom I have installed already. I was kind of bummed out when I flashed it and it didn't have the multiple users support that some have said it would have.
So am i! This is really the last stop before I root and modify.with the last update causing issues with obtaining s-off, I'm hoping for a more simplistic result from the update,but not counting on it?

I could be wrong, but I believe multiple user support is tablet only.
The at&t release will not be anything significantly different than what is already available for the international versions/dev editions

Can you provide the quote from MacKenzie? I thought he said sometime this week but didn't specify an exact day.
This doesn't relate to the 4.3 but I went to Bestbuy to check out the Note 3 and was very tempted to get it..but I noticed that the speaker sound quality was horrible. Maybe I'm spoiled with the front facing speakers on the One. I'm waiting for the One Max and from the pictures...It's huge. Hopefully I won't get tempted and jump on the Note 3 even though the speaker sucks.

The one major benefit is a new radio. There has to be. I was on the rooted stock version before the unofficial 4.3 rom and after taking that system update (which updated the LTE bands) my service was crap. I upgraded to the 4.3 update and LTE was improved AND the areas where there wasn't the best service.
