[Q] new newbie GS3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good afternoon gentlemen.
I recently picked up a GS3 here in Thailand. Man I like this phone. I rooted it, have clockwork mod and Titanium backup. Been familiarizing myself with these and some other settings. Cant put it down lol.
I live 6 mos in Thailand and 6 mos in USA. I plan to bring this phone to America and use it there in summer. Any tips on that would be appreciated.
Model # is GT-I9300
Android Ver. 4.1.1
Kernel Ver. 3.0.31-288630
Been thinking of flashing a rom or two also. Are there ones that would work here in Thailand as well as the U.S.?
Will my version of Jellybean work in the us if I do nothing?
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Yeah, depends on the carrier. Check what US carrier supports your phone's frequencies, and you should be fine. T-Mobile should work
And don't create duplicate threads.

dude lighten up
I already took your suggestion and reported my post.

Read my response.
All ROMs will work in US, at least they should. You can always flash a different modem if you face any issues.

Well said mate
They need all the other countries to find all the bugs so sammy can fix them and give us a good rom.

Or nearer the truth, they take a nice backhander from the networks so they can say that it's better to get your new phone with a contract with us then spend your money on a sim free phone...!

If you're really that bothered you would have flashed another region. Or even flashed O2 LP3, Which, if you use Intratechs version is as good as Unbranded.
I gave up waiting and put the Poland LPS on yesterday, works fine and has the UK (XEU) and CPW UK (CPW) csc's in it anyway.
Does seem like they have poo pood the early adopters. Eaten bread is soon forgoton.

I must admit, I was wondering the same thing.
I've got stock 2.3.4 phone, don't want to root really, just want to update to ICS but everytime I check it's not there. I'm confused I must admit as I thought it was being rolled out.
you dont need a sim free version, theres nothing wrong with the current leaks.
just install one of those and your good to go.
why not to root it?
much easier to use anything on it.
even my manager when he saw my rom and soft i got inside he gave me the phone and said: 'do the same with mine'
I've even unlocked his phone and he is very happy
in case you can always come back to original
Has anyone else got this yet? The sim free UK ICS that is?
I don't get it, am I doing something wrong, everytime I check it says no update yet

Why are you posting this message on here, this has been discussed many times and this is XDA, why not just flash yourself a ICS rom they work perfectly fine.
Samsung have said that sim free will get it after all carriers have started to push it out and not all of them have.

ICS rolling out in Europe? Really?

Hi Folks,
i just had a look on the german samsung facebook page.
I asked about news regarding the ics release date for the i9100g.
They pointed me to an answer they gave last wednesday.
They told us, that ICS for the i9100g is actually rolling out in other european countries. (others than germany)
My Question now is: can ANYBODY confirm this?
I'm afraid i know the answer right now ... So please - tell me that I'm wrong
no usable ics for i9100G.
updates:
http://twitter.com/#!/sgs2update
Ics its not released yet.
Just wait and be patiently...
Samsung its busy with the sgs3

It's possible if there are some country codes that we don't know yet, unlikely though.
i know that is isn't released yet - that was why i'm wondering about the answer i got via facebook - and i just want to verify it.
So we can summarize: Samsung Germany is definitely not telling the truth
Carphone warehouse UK is rolling out ics with the i9100 very very soon. I work for them so i can confirm this

Dude, this is not a questions forum or a forum you have any business posting topics in.
Use the General or Q&A forum. There is even a dedicated G variant Q&A stickied to top of thsi forum, It doesnt take a genius to work out where you should be posting, Just take a look at the topics in the dev forum, does yours resemble anything remotely like those?
hm - so i'm wrong here ... cool
had a look into the mentioned q+a sticky ... looks more than a dev-sticky ...
anyway ... if you are that rule-fixed - simply delete my thread and ignore the "news" - seems nobody is interested in a new / other ics leak than the chinese one ...
thanks for the warm welcome! *thumbsup*

If you want to post "news" put it into the correct section and you may get a better "welcome".
Common sense dictates that when you visit a forum you look for the most appropriate forum for your topic. If you had done that you would have quickly noticed that this specific forum is for developments from devs and not for questions or non-dev topics. This is why we also have dedicated general and QUESTIONS forums.

Bull****
Stupid rumor. Why do they shouldn't release ICS in Germany but ex. in UK should ? LOL. Btw, ICS is still unavailable at all, maybe some test versions in Asia. When ICS will be officially available, then absolutely in all countries.

ICS is available in UK via Samsung Kies. I re-stocked my device week or so back to Gingerbread and once connected to Kies it updated to ICS.

Maybe I'm reading the wrong thing, but from your screenshot and a translator, it would appear Samsung told you it was in test phase, with no exact release date set. Am I missing something?

If we talk about the I9100G, then ICS is not released at all for that model. Sooner or later it will. Just need to wait an official update in Kies or sammobile.com. P.S. if your question is about the G model, then post it in right section, cuz i'm distracted...

Modem by region/provider

I would like to open this tread to report which modem is working well for you in your region and for provider.
I am in Spain + Orange. Device bought in Dubai, currently flashed XXKH3 and slight increase of the signal visible. Still testing, but it seems better than stock XXLQ5. After finding out which is the best, I will update this post.
Any suggestions about good XW (Spain) modem ?

Then you must not be searching very well. Anyway sammobile has a complete list of downloadable modems specifying what region they are intended for. There are a number for each region. Its just up to us to pick the one that works well for us.

[Q] What custom firmware exists for the Mega?

Hi folks,
According to the Cyanogenmod.org site, the Mega is not yet officially supported.
So I am curious, what custom firmware exists at this point for the Mega?
By firmware I do not mean a ROM in which someone has changed a few images, colors, or other styling, or added an app.
I mean something where the core software has been improved.
Thanks.

I am everywhere. I plan on having a Mega in a couple of weeks. ATT will not be able to turn me down. I will make them an offer they cant refuse. so I figure I will get to know the lay of the land. been freakishly boring over with the Note. im a little concerned.
trying to figure why XDA has not gotten an i527 dedicated forum going. I know it was requested shortly after release. I know its not rooted yet but it sure might eliminate any confusion as to firmware available. don't need bricks with i527 stamped on the side of it.
so just remember "vacuum cleaners suck" and "feelin 7-up makes your hands sticky"

Still doesn't belong here does it? I could post my Verizon model here since it's Sim unlocked and works with T-Mo, so this thread should really be in the general Note 7 area.
So when you say compatible - has anyone put together a list of frequencies for the various models? I'd like to find a Duos model to use with T-Mobile/Bell Mobility (Canada) with the maximum network compatibility. Really excited about this Note 7 - except for the non-removable battery.

No, if your phone is Verizon,regardless of what carrier you are on, you'd have to go to the Verizon forums to get the exploits for your phone. It's different hardware from the Tmo version.
