Titanium Grey i9300 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I've been looking for the i9300 in Titanium Grey for the past 3 weeks. I had seen every other color but never the Grey i9300. Someone on this board told me that the Grey will only come for the i9305 model. However, after weeks of searching, I've finally FOUND IT!
The seller is Overseas Electronics in Chicago and I called them several times to confirm and yes, they have it in stock. I also convinced him to sell it to me for $575. I ordered it last night and it will arrive tomorrow. Here is the link for anyone interested. Call them up and ask them for the discount. I've been to the physical store and they specialize in international phones.

I also ordered the OEM Samsung Slim Case. It's the slimmest case you can get. It's also made by Samsung directly so it's cut perfectly by the makers of the phone. I hear it's awesome and the combination of grey and the clear patterned case looks beautiful in the pictures. Here are some links for the case.

Needless to say, I'm excited. I previously had the white i9300 but dropped it and cracked badly. This is the perfect replacement to remedy it.

nice.. hopefully it is a legit phone and not a well made fake.
EDIT: upon looking at the site... i'm seeing red flags...really big red flags....

Can you elaborate please? Like I said, I've been to the physical store a couple years back and it exists. The online reviews are good as well.
https://plus.google.com/105575332050663665318/about?hl=en
You're making me nervous now. :crying::crying::crying:

site design, contact email (@aol.com), actual physical store front (based off street view), and where it is located in the area.
EDIT: who knows, I might be wrong and you might be getting a 100% legit phone then awesome!

You're right, the aol.com email is confusing but those two stores actually supply all the international phones for Chicago. Many friends of mine have bought from the store right next to it, Ghandi Electronics. Thanks for the heads up though. We can't be too cautious! :good:

I have never heard of a titanium grey i9300. I wonder why a place in chicago US will have that and no other place internationally i mean it is the international version. Why is it available only in the US and not being stocked anywhere else. And how does warranty work. If samsung have these colours i think it would make sense to have all the colours available to the consumers i recon that would get them more sales.
Id be interested to see if you receive it all well. Let us know how the sale and delivery go
Edit maybe they are new and just been released i just found another US site that sells them http://negrielectronics.com/samsung-i9300-galaxy-s-iii-unlocked-titanium-grey.html
but it says PRE-ORDER

FYI.....I ordered one on Monday, got here today. I specifically ordered the 32GB Titanium Grey over the phone. What I got was the 16GB Black. I was charged $662 but the black from them is about $570.
So I called them and explained what happened. They were very cooperative, but they did totally screw up the order. I told them that I want to return it and they sent me a return shipping label about 30 minutes later. I called them back and said that I might keep it, but need a refund on the amount they charged me verses the 32GB Grey.. They said no problem. I never did get a receipt from them, although they did send me an email with tracking info. The UPS box was packed with Chinese newspaper; the order was shipped from Miami.
Unless you can find one in Asia to order, you might have a hard time finding one. Negri has them for pre-order so I called to see when it will be in stock, and they dont know.

Buyed by some friends, here pics, and look great ! (I've white)

It's not the slim case either... That's the gel case..

I wonder if he got it. Read my post #12.

It looks so damn nice, almost makes me want to trade my white one for the gray!

Sorry for the late reply. Actually it turns out it was the black. There are Grey 9300s put there but not in the States. There is one seller from Dubai on eBay that sells it. There is also CNN.cn which sells the Grey screen with the bezel. All you have to do is screw on your your motherboard. Then you can sell off your white screen as a replacement. Hope that helps!

If it is made for AT&T then why did I get a reply from Otterbox's twitter account stating that they did not have one for the AT&T version?
I heard from someone else that got one from AT&T and it blocked the NC mic which would mean that it is in fact the international version's case. If you look at the rubber flap that covers the headphone jack, if the hole is in the middle it is the international version.

Also when I went to an AT&T store they told me THEY (as in that store) don't carry the Otterbox for the GS2.
First pic is bottom second is top
Honestly looking at the quality it looks like a fugazy. There's a ton of fake Otterbox's being sold on CL around me and while they're good fakes, if you owned an Otterbox you'd know it was a fake. Can you use the barcode scanner app and scan the barcode on the box? Curious to see what it comes up as (red OB Defender for iPhone 4)?
edit: I take it back now looking closely to the first pics, but I'd still like you to scan the box

I didn't keep the box. I took a picture of my reciept, but cant show you the whole one since it has my phone number on it.
I ordered a Commuter from ebay. I guess I will be doing some modding to uncover the extra mic.
i actually bought this case today and returned it immediately after because the hole and screen protector is for euro model. the hole is in the wrong spot for the us version.
the hole in his picture above is shown on the top middle, where in the us version its on the top backside almost behind the headphone jack

I believe although it's not the definite AT&T version... AT&T does carry them and the incipio, which also blocks the 2nd mic too....
to follow up with my previous post, its nothing short of just cutting the rubber flap off of the otterbox to keep it from blocking the 2nd mic, but i figured if i was going to spend alomost 40$ on a case i want one made for my phone
Paid 25 for it
cool story bro
I bought the ballistic case for my Galaxy S 2. It had a better feel than Otterbox to me....
Is there an in store ETA? I purchased the one for the international version mistakenly from Otterbox and would like to get the correct one.
Called my local AT&T store, and they do not have any (International or otherwise) in stock. So I figured WTH, I'll order the Int. version from Amazon. I can always make the tiny mod to open up the mic slot a bit if necessary. It was $24.08 shipped from Amazon, but here is where it got weird...
When I went to the final checkout page, it defaulted to Standard shipping, with the price at $0. The other three options were:
Free 2-Day with Prime Trial (not a member)
Two-Day Shipping
One-Day Shipping
So, I wanted to see how much 2-day was, so I selected it. Page reloaded, shipping price stayed at $0. Selected 1-Day, page reloaded, price stayed at $0. I went back and forth, and the price didn't change for shipping (FREE!). So I took a screenshot and submitted my order. Order confirmation on their site and email show:
Item(s) Subtotal: $24.08
Shipping & Handling: $0.00
-----
Total Before Tax: $24.08
Estimated Tax To Be Collected: $0.00
-----
Grand Total: $24.08
Very weird, never happened before. Has something like this happened to anyone else? Looks like I got free overnight shipping!
I just received a response from Otterbox customer support (3 minutes ago) stating that they do not have one specific to the AT&T version and do not plan to make one at the moment.

AT&T has case-mate on there site but when you visit case-mate site it's not for the sprint epic it says, but for the international and canadian phones only no mention of AT&T either.
sizes of these phones
AT&T 126 x 66 x 8.9 mm
International 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm
i'm trying to find a case myself for the AT&T version

Notes arriving in stores!

Just had 5 blue ones show up today.

I think you should ask. On my ATT account page it says premiere member on it. And whenever I upgrade a phone it offers me the 50% off option for access.

$149 Flyer From Cowboom (Best Buy)

Deal of Day at Cowboom is rotating pre-owned 7" tablets. (Currently HTC Flyer).
Add $5 for shipping, I think they charge sales tax also.
If you are not familiar, Cowboom is a branch of BestBuy that mostly sells refurbished and pre-owned items. They have a 30 day return policy.
I cannot post links as a noob but just go to cowboom dot com and it is their deal of the day.
(tried posting in Marketplace under member found deals but was met with statement that it is reserved for experienced developers and users.)
Wow really great deal... Very tempting even though I already have a view...

I've been thinking of doing the same to my view. As far as a dock if you want it in landscape you will probably have to custom build it. And you should look into the mhl adapter for the jetstream, not sure hat the model number is but its white and is the only thing with a 3.5mm headset jack, that would make docking for music so much easier.
At this point im looking for a double din 7" navigation unit that I can strip to fit the view into.

They have 3g Flyers (P510E) for less than $350. Some of you had better jump on those. These are the ones that can be used as a phone (takes a GSM SIM card).
Got one!
Hey guys,
I just got in on this the other night. I wanted to know how good a deal this is versus some of the ~$300 views out there.
Are there any differences between the two, aside from storage space and 4G radio?
Which is a better deal?
the 150 is def a better deal.
I really need to figure out a dock that mounts horizontally..

As far as I know Cowboom never had a Flyer 3G for sale in either one of the recent promos.
I actually got 2 Flyers on that deal, both grade 8 as well and in pristine condition.

I ordered one on Sunday, got it on Wed. The condition was a level 8, perfect screen. But they sent me a wifi tab instead of the 3G version I ordered
So off it went to RMA...
Also, none of the supposedly current promo codes on retailmenot work nor the Flyer40 code I tried just now. Each one gives me the msg "Sorry, this promo code is not valid"

Aaaand it happened again; they sent the Wifi-only Flyer as a replacement instead of the 3G version I ordered. The rep was rude, did not seem to believe me even after matching the serial #s. And when I broke down and asked if she could simply refund me the difference, all she would offer me is $50
I am done with these incompetent @$$holes...
BTW, Cowboom's customer service # is 8886026963. They don't post it on their website...

Are you serious?
There was NEVER a 3g version on cowboom for 150. I know you THINK you are right but I'm sorry - I've been watching it like a hawk and YOU are the confused one here.

Free Sprint case

Well I had pre-ordered my HTC EVO 4g LTE like everyone else and waited for it to arrive on 5/18/12!
When I got the email that it was delayed I was kinda disappoimted, but what could I do other then sit back and wait. So it finally came yesterday. Opened up activated it and was over the saddening fact that it didn't come when it was supposed to. So I started to wonder what sprint was going.to do for all the people that waited like a lost dog staring out the window on 5/18 just to find out that they weren't getting there doggy bone. And just then ding dong (well who the hell is bothering me when I'm setting up my new EVO)its the UPS guy with a package? Confused ? I didn't order anything. Open the package like the little dog that might have just gotten a bone in the mail. And it was, a free gel case from sprint, and a letter of apology. Now this might not be a great apology, and they didn't even ask what color I wanted but its a great gesture. And its blue I like blue. Thanks sprint.

I got the grey hard case... Which with a little humt, found it to be the Bodyglove Kickback Vibe... $25 retail or so
Not bad for an appology gift I guess... I wasn't at all worried about getting my phone late... But if it was decided that HTC could not provide this phone I was going to try an start a boycot movement

I actually really like this blue one with the HTC logo... Does anyone know where to get them? Or has HTC not released them yet. I'd love to see the colors they come in

The only other color I've seen aside from the blue is a black version that was shown at CTIA. There is a red one I saw but it looked more like one that snaps on the back instead of fitting around the phone like this one does.
I haven't seen them online and Sprint obviously has them, they just haven't shipped them to stores. My experience on Thursday trying to find a case in a Sprint store, I went to two different locations and they both had different cases, none of which I liked. One store did have a black silicone similar to this one though for $15. But I'll take the blue official one and see if I can find something else. (The blue grows on you.)
It sucks that people who did not order directly form Sprint do not get one, even though we waited too. Or do we?

Not to sound negative, but no one other than Sprint knows the true answer to that, but I'd say probably not. The thing was, ordering through Sprint online was supposed to get everyone who did the phone earlier than everyone else. So they did something they didn't have to because they are trying to work on their customer service and public image. Now everyone who ordered through Best Buy, Wirefly and the like where raving about how they were saving money or getting a giftcard and what not. Well yes they will still get those things which should be better than getting a free case since that's what drew most people to them; whenever they get stock to send to them. Perhaps the companies everyone else ordered with may do something as a nice gesture as well. The only other people I see Sprint possibly doing this for are people who have pre-orders in store. They may allow the staff to let them choose between a couple cases to get one for free.

The customer has the option to order from whatever site/store they wish to. It's competition. Because I ordered from Best Buy or anywhere else should not disqualify me for a free case IMO. Sure I saved a lot of money and people who ordered online on Sprint did not. If the savings led me to buying at BB, so be it. Why shoot down the smart shopper?
In the apology letter it says "want to thank you for your patience as we know you have been anticipating the arrival of your new HTC EVO 4G LTE". It's referring to the delay, which those BB customers were part of too. If the cases are only being shipped out to the customers who pre-ordered online on Sprint, which it is, it should've specified that reason.
Excuse my bitterness. I'm upset because there is no LTE.
Correct, it is referring to the delay in general but if you didn't buy it from them don't expect them to give you something. If you bought it from elsewhere Sprint and HTC doesn't have to reward you for your patience because you didn't buy it from Sprint even if you are under their contract now. Now if Best Buy wants to give you a free case or WireFly or where ever you purchased it from to say thank you for your patience then it is up to them to do such. But they most likely will not because they already gave you whatever savings you got. You can not expect one store to give you something when you bought something from another. That's the whole point of having options as you say isn't it.
e.g. lets say you buy something from amazon because it's cheaper than best buy but then best buy turns around and gives the customers who bought it from them something extra that they didn't have to. You can't expect Best Buy to give it to you as you didn't buy it from them. And while I know you will say it says Sprint and HTC you have to look at it as a retailer POV.
I understand where you are coming from, I'd probably still be upset if I didn't have my phone yet. I am looking at it from a retail POV rather than the company you have your service with. Even though it states Sprint and HTC, it's Sprint as in the store you just made your purchase from and not Sprint as in the company you have cell service with.

And because you chose to let a third party cut into Sprint's profits on the phone they don't have to send you a case. If HTC works something out with the retailers like it did with Sprint then great, but otherwise leave it to the company selling you the phone to give you something not someone else.

I'm so torn on my bright blue case.
I love it, I hate it....I'm still using it.
I might use it until power skin makes a product for the evolte
I didn't get a case, what gives? I didn't order online, I called Sprint directly. I don't think that should make a difference.

Did you order it before 5/17? If so i would think it would be otw. Could also call them see what's up. All in all tho its only a $5-$10 case. It also seems to be random what color or kind you get. May also be running low on supply. Not sure how many pre-orders they had. Doesn't hurt to call them and ask.

Whats everyone think if the free blue case?
I like the quality alot as compared to the $5 case I bought on ebay
I wasnt a fan of the color at first but now its growing on me. The blue I won't be using at work becuase its less professional but its a great casual case
I'm currently waiting for the seidio surface with holster to arrive
Also I have a flygrip that has arrived but I'm waiting to see what case to put it on.

UK Nexus 6P

Hi All
Started this forum for UK users of Nexus 6P.
Updates will be posted here in the first post with continuous discussion provided by you guys.
Looking forward to pre-ordering my Nexus 6P - just have to decide between silver or black!
Please bear in mind XDA Rules and be friendly and courteous to each other
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
Google Play Store Shipping Tracker (kinda!)
Here's the Google Play Store link that will give you details of shipping date. Find your order amongst all the orders as this includes app installs/purchases.
https://play.google.com/store/account
Copy and paste if on a smartphone otherwise it'll just open up in the Play Store app [emoji3]
Unlock bootloader command
The unlock command is now "fastboot flashing unlock" not "fastboot oem unlock".
I keep refreshing the playstore so I can get my pre-order in as soon as they're available.
I remember last year trying to pre-order the Nexus 6 was a nightmare, so I want to make sure I get my order in early.
So glad they stuck with the amoled screen and the dual front facing speakers. The metallic build is a bonus too, I found the Nexus 6 felt cheap.
the price is higher than I expected
$499 to GBP + VAT worked out to 400 quid, so 450 is disappointing.
You can get a Note 5 for that price, tough choice.
I really hope the battery life is fantastic or I am going to be really annoyed!

Where is it £450? I watched the live event (still on now) and they didn't mention UK pricing.
Obviously we'll get shafted on price like we do on everything, but just wondering where the official price was?
I think I'm gonna go for the 128gb if it's available today. I've just got a feeling not all the sizes will be available today.
androidpolice keep releasing stuff - everything else was spot on so the pricing most likely is too
The stream has just finished - a but abruptly! How do we pre-order?
can I ship from the UK to Italy?
Just keep refreshing this page I guess https://store.google.com/product/nexus_6
Also slightly off topic but damn that Pixel C looked slick. I wonder if it's got an oled screen? I was hoping he'd mention the display type. If it is oled I'll be buying it without a doubt.
edit: mine is US order
Just ordered mine in frost white 128gb
https://store.google.com/product/nexus_6p
Did anyone else get same estimated date? I've got early November

First Nexus phone where I haven't ordered it day one.. not because of the specs or pricing.. just because I bought a OPT this month.. Might sell it some time early next year and get one of the Nexus phones.. or both since I kinda collect them >.<
Constantly getting the "An error has occured.." stuck at checkout for a 64GB Black N6P! Cmmon Google, sort this mess!

Yep, I ordered mine and got the same date for estimated shipping. Ordered 128gb Aluminium and also the Quartz case and new chromecast and chrome audio.
Went for the 64GB in frost. Probably wouldn't have bothered, but with google refunding me for my nexus 5 (3rd replacement!) it won't end up costing me much to change.
Guys be aware that payments might decline if your bank flags them under fraud alert. If you get declined, go to wallet.google.com and check the history as well as checking that your payment information is up to date and if still no joy, contact your bank if they haven't contacted you already. I tried three times and got declined each time. Got an automated call from Santander and lifted the block on the card. Processed on 4th occasion with 2-5 November estimated shipping.

I doubt that it will work but you can try. The only issue is getting to the UK Play Store from Italy. You'll be directed to your home country store so you'll have to figure out a way to access UK store - maybe through VPN?
Poll up for which colour people have chosen
Has anyone found out if there is expandable storage? I guess there won't be if there's three storage options.
