Hello guys,
Sorry if this thread were should be opened in another forum because I'm new here (from your grateful video - I'm noob).
Look, I have Samsung Galaxy SIII I9300, and I have a problem with the Lock.
After that last update that Samsung released to the devices, I've installed it but after that when I tried to lock my device (click on the right side button to lock) after couple of minutes or random time the screen is unlocked by him selves, and locked back after couple of seconds and thats happening a lot of times.
I've tried to turn off all the settings like the movement sensors, voice sensor everything I could think about, even I read that if I pull off my SIM card it may solve my prolem and the problem is with the SIM or something but I tried that and I still had the problem.
Maybe you guys can help me or you know how to fix that or maybe you had this problem in the past?
In Thursday I will give my device to the store I bought the device from.
-----------------------------------
Another question, I've saw many forums abiot the device "Samsung Galaxy S3" but its the same device no? why there is like 5 forums abot this device? with the names: "Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T" and etc ?
What are those devices?
Thanks in advance for any help, please it is very important to me!
Not completely sure about your 1st main question but to answer your second question, the reason why there are other Galaxy S3 forums is because this is the International Galaxy S3 for example UK and europe. Verison and AT&T and Spirit and others are the different versions within America. Each has a different name. For example the International UK version are mainly GT-I9300 where as Spirit is SPH-L710. It makes all the difference when downloading the correct roms. Because if you downloaded a rom made for the SPH-L710 Spirit Galaxy S3 and flashed it to the International GT-I9300 then you could completely brick your device and would have one really expensive door stop or paper weight.
Hope this helped.

Hi,
I just bought the SII LTE from Shanghai, unlocked, and i was thinking if there is way to change the ROM/Firmware to a non asian and if yes how i can do it code a very fresh guy to Android family. Most of the notifications are in Chinese and i don't understand anything.
Thanks,
John

Does NO ONE read?
Download the firmware you want to use in the area you are using the phone and flash via Odin, I mean come on how hard is that. I've had my S2 less than a week and have read through hundreds of threads, and it really gets under my skin that the moderators allow for the newbies to post senseless questions such as this and clog up the forum
Search in google a guide how to use Odin... It's very easy and in about 30 minutes you ll change your firmware
Hi Guys,
First of all sorry for the lame question. I'm a noob here, I tried to found the answer on this forum and on other internet resources but didn't find it.
Well, I bought a Galaxy Note GT-N7000 in Indonesia. (PDA: N7000DXLC2, PHONE: N7000DXLC1, CSC: N7000OLBLC2). The installed languages are asian languages (+English), so I would like to change the firmware to a European version, since I would like to have Hungarian language on the phone (especially but not only because I would like to be able to type messages with Swype). My plan is to change to this one: N7000XXLA6, N7000OXXLA1
The question: The new firmware belongs to a different location than the old one. Can it cause any kind of problem? If yes, what should I expect?
Many thanks for your answers in advance!
There is no reason why it wouldn't work. And there would be no major issues associated with this. Good luck

Thank you!
I was worried only because in some forums (proably here actually) I read something like "make sure that the new firmware belongs to the same location as your phone does".
I'm glad to hear that it is not an issue.
Thanks again!

This would only apply if the model numbers are different.

Ok, so yesterday i bought a SG3 from Telus(Im from New-Brunswick Canada, so its Telus or Bell)... but the thing is, its not a I9300, its a SGH-I747M.... so i was wondering, if anyone knows about the hardware? Is it similar to the i9300? can i use the i9300 roots/recovery/kernels etc? Thanks

Thanks for the reply, this is a nice guide, but i already rooted the phone, thing is, i want to use a custom rom, and there is no forums for the SGH-I747M or whatever, so im wondering if the I9300 roms/kernels work for it
Sorry not sure if this helps you, but there are other S3 forums.
I would think the telus/bell/rogers devices are more similar to the AT&T version, as it is also designated a similar model number SCH-I747.
Link to the other forums here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1667
According to www.pdadb.net your i747 is similar to AT&T's S3 http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3602&c=samsung_sgh-i747_galaxy_s_iii_lte
BUT I would recommend you do a lot more research and ask the devs in that section before trying anything. As you will most probably end up messing your phone up in using something incompatible.

I would definitely not use anything meant for the i9300 on your device as it is not hardware compatible, different CPU (quad samsung vs dual qualcomm)

Allright thanks for all that information i will post in the other section and see whats comes up ^_^
Hello all,
I have an i9300 which is currently out of order. And I m planning to buy a new i9305. I wonder, is it possible to use the screen of i9300 for i9305 if anything happens? As far as I know, same hardware is used on both. But I want to be sure that there is not any restriction to use the screens for each other. Is there anyone who ve tried before?
Thanks,

After digging previous Q&A, I found one who was replacing motherboards, and got successfull result. Since device is mainly consist of screen-motherboard, I assume that the screens are also compatible with each other.
Thanks.

you may not find too many people here that have the Korean version or run it.
HOWEVER, go into the general forum and look into the "Super Everything Thread"
if you check post #3, I believe everything related to your model is listed here on XDA
doesn't look like much to me. I think there is only 1 ROM
have you tried Google to run search?
good luck

Of course I did but i'm not sure that my Note can run that ROM because it's only for Note AT&T.
Anyway thank you so much.

that's really confusing and im not sure how that happened, but that doesn't mean anything.
I might question...........what modem are you running with success. I would think if you have AT&T modem, than you could run ROM that's compatible.
don't want you to brick though, just in case im an idiot.
it is not suggested to post same question in multiple threads but I would suggest the "Stupid Questions" thread.
not that your question is stupid, but definitely a unique issue from my experience. maybe you could word it slightly different and they may inquire as to which MODEM you are using too. assuming your phone is working ?
they are very knowledgeable and I have visited there a few times myself with probably more stupid question than this.
good luck
