Hey Guys,
I used to have an S2,
But unfortunately due to a nasty accident,
I now lost it and its not working anymore...
Im thinking of getting an S3,
I am able to get the i9305 model cheaper than any of the others,
Can anyone please help me with some information here?
Will i be able to flash i9300 custom roms on it?
This is the baseband version on it: I9305DXALI7
What exactly is the difference with this and the more expensive i9300?
Thanks alot
What. The i9305 is cheaper? Link please. Anyways the i9305 is better in terms of specs like 2GB of Ram and LTE support, but in terms of development, it's behind... very behind. And no, you can't flash i9300 roms onto i9305.
I typed this by hand.
How do you know its not working if you lost it ????
jje
im really pleased with this phone but am going to have to be patient as the development of roms is only in its infancy:good:
Lol since you dont seem to know the difference i am assuming you dont know the difference in price. You can actually buy a i9300 for $500 brand new . Cheapest i seen the i9305 is around $740
The i9305 is an upgraded version of the i9300 how can it be cheaper lol

I was about to get the SGS2 LTE and plan to flash it soon after getting it.. however I noticed all roms are currently made for the original 4g model.
I am not an expert but I know what I am doing for the most part (being an HD2 owner for 2 years). there are two issues I see... sorry, in advance, for the lingo i use
1) the LTE has 4 soft buttons in the front (like the infuse).. whereas the original has a hard button in the front. which means "Base rom" would be different, no?
2) I don't this is a big problem but ill ask any ways... All current roms are made for 4G so will that mean that the phone will only work on 4g, assuming the button problem is resolved?
If there is another thread that will answer this please let me know and ill remove this thread. I just could find anything. I clicked search thread, but only threads regarding random discussion about the lte version pop up.
Lol the LTE model hasn't been released yet... Sooooo yeah.

Rogers Samsung Galaxy S 2 lte
The Snapdragon processor will mean a delay on any custom ROM cooking until it is released. I pre ordered but feel confident it will get a lot of the ROM' s and kernels from G S 2 HSPA+ i9000.
What is the device name for the LTE? ~model. Number

Different hardware so it wouldn't work unless you looking to make a nice paperweight.

thanks verry much appreciated !!!!!
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 ^_^
I am not asking this question based purely on the specs but more based on the specs and the world these phones live in. What i mean is, both are proven, good, reliable Android phones. But consider the price you would pay for an unlocked contract free handset on Ebay or somewhere. Availability off latest software and updates etc.
I was looking on Ebay UK and seems you could get a good example of either phone for around £250. Now i hate bloatware so rooting on the S2 is essential to remove any crap useless programmes.. stock market prices app as standard...!! do they think we are all rich stock market traders!!!
Galaxy Nexus is pretty much bloatware free and i actually now run the F1 Galaxy Nexus ROM on my S2 and i prefer it 5000% over any version of GB or ICS.
So seeing now that JellyBean 4.1 is available for Nexus phones and may/may not ever appear on the S2 and if it does it could take a while. Google Nexus phones seem to be getting their Google updates pretty much straight away, take these things into account....
Does anyone think the Nexus might currently have gained an edge over the S2, maybe even the S3 and the best Samsung Android phone currently available?

True !!
really... is that the intelligent replies that are going to be posted??? how disappointing...
well your worthless replies can be ignored seeing as you obviously couldn't be bothered to back up your answer with a few reasons why.
Worthless questions are doomed to get worthless answers. Specially when they are made in the wrong forum.
I think this beats both the Nexus & the S2.
(as the poster above me said, you deserve nonsensical answers because threads like this are stupid. They don't belong here. This isn't Sammobile or GSMArena).

S2 General Forum and you say that is the wrong one... a forum for 'general' discussion about the S2 phone. i think asking a question like i have counts as general and i am an S2 owner so i am asking from the point of view of an S2 owner.
So which would be the correct forum oh mighty forum god????
I didn't know you had a learning disability, my apologies.
On top of the general forum you will find a sticky reading:
***QUESTIONS BELONG IN Q&A!***
But hey dude, keep fighting the good fight and ignoring guidelines and rules, after all the whole world is here to serve you!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111
Okay I will tell you what I think about. My suggestion is, that more and more people want the newest Google experience. So they want the Galaxy Nexus. It´s a good device, but it has not the power off the Galaxy S 3. But you must ask, is it be needed? I think not! You can have a good OS without much power. Look at windows phone single processor and 512 MB of RAM and not so bad performance in many cases.
Some little points are very imported you may miss. The GN has no FM-Radio, "only" a 5 MP Camera and no SD Slot. So everybody can choose what is imported for yourself.
One point I miss... Do we need a update each time?

This isn't going anywhere we need to go.
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.

Okay thanks, so probably I will take my phone to the store I bought him.
And what is it a "Factory Reset" ?
I just bought a Galaxy S2 from HSN.com (http://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-sii-no-contract-smartphone-t-mobile/1062786 )
and wish to ultimately use Lycamobile on it but I understand that I have to SIM Unlock it. I also understand it comes with 2.3 I believe and I'd like to go to something 4.2.2.
I've seen a lot of threads but I'm confused as to the exact steps that actually WORK TODAY.
I'm used to my Galaxy Nexus so know a little but this seems a bit different.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
What model number is it; what does the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery say ?
The right direction is the T-mobile S2 forum (T989)
This is the I9100's forum, so yeah, you're in the wrong place.
Ask a mod to move this Q over there.
