Alrighty! Play Store on the PC says that my s3 is AMT Samsung GT-I9300. Sometimes even without the AMT in the beginning.
No paid apps are showing, VERY many apps are incompatible. Started two weeks ago, rooted 4 months ago and haven't done anything like that after that!
I will say more info after some small hints or (try this and that)
So what phone model do you have and what firmware .
Have you searched Google Play problems and fixes .

GT-I9300 4.1.2 Baseband I9300XXEMB5
What firmware was the question as this sort of problem is often not a genuine phone .
Baseband is modem .

to see if it's fake just check if the Samsung features are present

I'm new. What do you mean by "firmware" ?
Only thing I can say about my phone is that it's stock and has been rooted once.
Sorry that i'm such a bother.

Despite the fact that I'm an AT&T user in the US, several apps now have used pound instead of dollars. So far my USAA and Redlaser apps have done this. Any idea on how to switch them to US currencies? I've tried within the apps with no luck so it's definitely a phone not app issue.

Ok - I'm on board to try open Europe. But I thought the rom decided the firmware? If I want to use open Europe would I have to install the stock version of that? I was just mention favourites as that's the European spelling of the word. I'm more concerned about the currency issue though.

Hello Gang,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII Live Demo Unit. It is basically a Galaxy SIII minus the SIM Card slot and MicroSD slot. I have noticed that the OS has minor limitations...for instance, I want to use the device under USB MTP so I can transfer the music and pics I added via bluetooth and I cant.
Has anyone seen this? Is there anything I can do, take screenshots or such so i can atleast run the true ICS TouchWiz. For instance, S Voice is not included, and I Want it. S Beam, SmartStay, NFC, Wifi Direct, DLNA, All Share, all that is in there.
Cheers,
Paul

I have Live Unit too and I have IMEI for that phone which has been given to me on paper.
Both Mitsuoka123 and myself are Samsung Mobilers and we got Live Demo Units for testing purposes.
I flashed stock ROM (and then SlimICS ) and no problems at all. Now I need to insert IMEI in my phone but I don't know how.
Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!

IMEI Restauration
Hello,
When you get a "Live demo unit", you have a generic IMEI 004999010640000.
You have to restore the IMEI to use the GSM.
You can find tutorials with a google search "IMEI restauration".
For Samsung Galaxy, you can have a look here :

use faster fix to set your region pool
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Do you have active data connection (mobile or wifi) when attempting a gps fix?
If not, it can take up to several minutes for a lock if you have not used Gps for a while since that is how it work.

If nothing of the above helps, do a factory reset in backup and restore or in the worst case reflash the stock rom with Odin.

Good idea. If that doesn't work then most likely it's hardware related. Mime locks on in seconds. GPS is light years ahead of S1 and S2.
But as mentioned earlier make sure you have a data connection or it could take ages.

Its the same but i just use the UK Pool server .
You could try the AGPS patch as a replacement editing your GPS.conf file to match .

A lot of people do experience frequently freezing after the latest update from Samsung. A few send in to repair and some did do their own magic stuff. But so far there isn't any clear solution. I think we ow a explanation from Samsung. This is a well known problem and people all over the world have it. But how can we get Samsung to take care. We didn't pay 600 € for a phone that freezes all the time.
I gues I bring mine in repair tomorrow.
Any tips?

In service centre they will only format your phone, u can do it urself. They people only have one solution that is reinstall firmware.

Yup I would fully wipe your device and reinstall the update. This is one of the reasons OTA will always cause an issue.
But I think I have a problem. 6 months ago I dropped and my camera screen came off... so that problaby meens I void my warranty?

Do you have memory of dropping your phone or maybe installing an APK that is not safe?
Maybe that could be a problem for you.
Just a question, not the answer.

The last time it dropped was 6 months ago. So I don't think that's the cause. I also resetted my whole phone a few times so an APK can't be the problem either I think. Or the APK must have broken some hardware? Is that possible?
Since the latest update from Samsung I haven't had any problems with it! What I noticed is that when I clear the RAM memory it only closes 10 apps. Before that were 30 apps. Does the update just limit the RAM or does it close less apps?

I installed the latest file from PHN from sammobile ( I9300XXELL4_I9300PHNELL2_I9300CEELL1_HOME.tar ) After the update my broadband-version is I9300CEELL1 , Buildnumber I9300XXEMC2.
Another question. When everything was OK and I didn't do anything, in the playstore my phone was named as T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S3. Then I installed the PHN version from Sammobile and now it only says Samsung Galaxy S3. In recovery it also says Applied multy CSC. Should I get another region code, the one from T-mobile netherlands?
