This is without doubt a fake phone.
First it equips a micro sim card
Second the processor on the photo is a chinese kind.
And 3rd it was assembled somehow in aug 2010.
Regards

American versions have all 2gb of ram and are definitely not called i9300. and yes that's a cheap clone. Your friend got taken or he got it on purpose for financial reasons. Whatever it is it does not change the facts.
Waiting for JKay mod on GT-I9300

Are there any custom roms for this one? He will have an unpleasant surprise because he changed his Note with this phone.:banghead:

I highly doubt it because it's fake, most people including devs will have the real ones, tell your friend it's fake and try to get a refund, then get a real one from a trustworthy source, not eBay or gumtree.
If they don't give a refund report the seller to eBay or wherever it was bought from and report the seller.

No dev on here here for rip off's and no sympathy for the dummies who buy them.

I don't think so, but even if there are, you won't find it here.
Usually these cheap fake chinese phones don't have any support.
The real question is: are you still gonna keep your friend's membership in your S III club ?

It was just a question don't pull out the big guns He got ripped off and he will take measures for sure.
Thanks for the answers.

Friendship is not measured on what phone you have... But he will buy a real S3 just because he knows that is one of the best phones around.

[Q] ICS Wipe

Only a short question. Is it very dangerous to flash without wipe?

Dangerous is when a blind man drives a car or jumping out from a airplane naked.
I dont think you will be harmed in any ways if you dont wipe.
Dont have a Arc S myself, but a friend does. He had some problems with a slow phone after updating to ICS. After a few days he gave the phone a last chance and wiped it, and not hes a happy user.
Only complaint he got is the higher battery usage.

It's not dangerous but many people reported very laggy devices and had to resort to re flashing with full wipe to resolve. You may be lucky though....

Scook is correct, its a quick job to reinstall stuff but worth it to avoid possible performance issues/glitches.

Is the Galaxy S3 Black version really the same?

Kind of a stupid question for some of you xD but I just want to be sure that I'm going to be able to get all the ROMs i can get with the normal Galaxy S3 pebble blue. Is it going to be the same?
This would be the link I'll be using http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-black-unlocked-16gb-238383/ to buy it!
I just want to make sure there wasn't any hardware/software changes to the black version. Obviously, there shouldn't be but I don't want to go wrong for buying this one!

But it appears as if it is the US version with the dual core and 2GB of RAM.
So be www l aware of that when flashing ROMs

If you have a sdcard slot, you don't have a Galaxy Tab, you have a Galaxy Tab 2. That's what your sig says, too: the 5110 is a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES install ANY ROM that you see on this forum, unless you like bricking it.
Go to the Galaxy Tab 2 forum for guidance.
Thanks a lot for the advice and yes it has a sdcard slot.
Thanks again

It's gonna be weeks before a usable port hits us, if it's usable at all even.
I think that Samsung left us behind, and we paid for our s3 the same as S4 users. Shame on Samsung

I think you're mistaken. Its a specifical Google edition of the S4.... its not the normal S4

Google edition rom is based on Snapdragon, not Exynos, so forget about it. It would be as useful to us as any other actual rom (full of bugs).

Totally agree with sensamic, i would use aosp/aokp/cm instead of this.
