Which Device do I have? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the US Cellular Varient of the GS3 (4GLTE+2GBram)
Would this be considered the i9305? under settings model number it says"SCH-530U" blah blah.
Anyone know?

This is the international forum. Keyword international, you have a us cellular variant sgs3 so no its not an I9305. Instead of making the most useless thread why wouldn't you just do a google search??

It seems that you don't know anything about this stuff, but here's a tip: You have the USA version, ask these questions in their forum.
Anyway, what carrier do you have?

Okay guys, no reason to be rude, it was simple question that only requested a simple answer.

Yes but when you get 40 posts like yours a day some get annoyed as USA users don't read the stickies i guess .

Well i do apologize for the new topic then i was just hoping for a direct answer.

Have you listened yourself????
You wrote: I f....k all the rules here if I can have direct answer.
As many other peoples here, I can just be abused by anotjer example of typical US-like self-ignorance and discrimination of all others, following the rules in patience.
So please put your lasso aside, stop your horse and start doing that what you're expecting from others.

As you can probably see from people's signatures, your model is what your device is.

there's one thing thats more annoying than someone posting a question in the wrong section or someone not searching....and thats when I see so many replies to a thread all saying the same thing:
'wrong section'
'why post here'
'this is not the right section for this'
yes people, we get it! He posted in the wrong section. Please dont reply with something that everyone else already said ahead of you. Just report the thread and let the mods take care of it
[/off topic rant]
[back on topic]
I'm not familiar with the development aspect of modems but just an observation--If the modem is developed for another device then, to me, common sense says it wasnt designed to be used on our phones which is why some things work and others dont. Maybe the signal is different in the US versus International, which is why the voice doesnt work. Who knows...but the bottom line is that we'll need to use the i777 modems.
out of curiosity, why would you want to use the int'l modems, anyway? What benefit do they give you?

Probably because the international model has CM9 and modems made for it. Not a bad idea, can't blame him for wanting it to work

I'd disagree. It encourages other people to report posts more and refrain from posting the same "why'd you post here" comments over and over.
If everyone decides to comment on it instead of reporting, it just takes that much longer for it to appear in the correct subforum. And of course, the inevitable flaming continues and the thread ultimately ends up closed.
How is encouraging forum rules unproductive?
It reinforces the point

Ok ok my fault i figured if i ask here its more likely ill get one of the devs looking at my post and get quick answer or tell me how to open dang modem.bin and i can compare i9100 vs i777. u guys could have focused on helping not blaming.

If we can get international modems to work then we wouldnt have capped speeds especially when it comes to upload.

just a guess but if a simple tweak would make it work, it would have been done long ago. So the fact that it still doesnt work, makes me believe that its not possible without major alterations to the int'l modems.

Please use search....

I know there are alot of people new to xda on here and alot of new android users, however if you look in our general boards there are tons of topics that are being repeated. Please use search because odds are you question or concern might have come up or discussed already.
Im not trying to be rude or make people mad, but when you signed up its part of the rules.

This pointless thread clutters up the forum just as bad as someone who doesn't use the search function and posts something, there hasn't even been a problem of redundant threads in this forum (yet).
The phone has been out less than a week and we have like 4 or 5 tmobile threads, 4 visual voicemail, atleast 3 city id, i see a pattern coming on.

I agree. This should probably be stickied, as it is quite difficult to follow a thread with so many new redundant ones being created. I may have at some point, but if the number of new redundant posts is reduced, it will be better for everybody.
That being said, a whole lot of the users here are completely new to android and XDA as a result, therefore they don't fully know the rules and will need to learn. Having this thread stickied would probably help that.
I can appreciate your intentions, but I guarantee you someone who was planning on opening a redundant thread is not going to open this thread first and have some mind-blowing epiphany about the metastasizing cancer of reckless thread starting without using the search feature and thus starting a thread about something that's been previously posted about.
Besides, the mods here would get bored.

this is honestly getting ridiculous, if you cannot figure this out, please at least TRY to do some research, and if doesn't make sense, research more, then ask in the Q&A/General forum.. seriously dude.. its stuff like this CONSTANTLY that is making XDA ridiculous.. I don't know how much more I can handle of this stuff.. its every 5 min someone does not read the rules understand the forums where to post, what to ask, how to do a SIMPLE search or even a google search.. :smh: ;-( PLEASE AT LEAST TRY.. please... did you watch the n00b video when you registered or did you just skip it???
edit: and I also wonder if a button similar the thanks button that can be implemented in XDA Forums but instead of "Thanks" a "Please try to search" and if other members hit the "Please try to search" on that particular post a certain number of times (maybe 3 - 5 ppl) then the user is no longer allowed to post in dev forum for 10 days. just a suggestion cause XDA is really going down the pooper lately.. I know I have less than 100 posts and I'm not DEV by any means, and my Join date is just a bit over a year ago (but I at least try all of the above first) so I don't come off as a total ____ maybe I'm overreacting after reading too many of these but maybe not.. you mod's can decide. /rant

Not.to be argumentative but.... My son has the LG thrill and his clock is randomly changing times on him resulting in him being late for work on one occasion. I haven't been able to figure it out yet (though i really haven't spent that much time trying yet) and don't want to resort to flashing a different Rom on it. so i could see asking a question like that in the near future if i don't figure it out. ( obviously in the thrill forum)

Here is what I get from phone info
Model number - SGH-I717R
Android Version - 2.3.6
Baseband Version - T989DTLKJ3
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.11
Build number Gingerbread.248
I am not sure what exactly has been done. I would like to upgrade to ICS and still have it working with Wind Mobile. What do I do? Where do I begin?
Thanks in advance and sorry. I know its a stupid stupid question.

Instead of spending time here, head over to the forum specific for your phone model & carrier.
In general, most samsung phones (including your model) can go back to the stock state using odin.

You do not need 10 questions to read any existing threads, or (if needed) ask a question in a Q&A forum. Questions do not belong in Development forums which is why the 10 post rule is in place.
