I9300 vs. I9305 UI differences - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
For the last few weeks I was using Galaxy S3 3g (I9300) and I really liked this phone. Couple of days ago I was given the 4g version of the same phone. It is obviously faster as long as data transfer is concerned, but to my surprise, there are also differences in how the customizing of the home screens works.
In the new phone I can't just hold an icon and move it somwhere. In order to do it I have to select Edit from context menu first. Also when I move icons across pages I can only go right (!).
Both phones are on unmodified stock ROMs, android 4.1.2.
Is there a way to enable in 4g phone the same way the home screen is handled in the 3g version?
Cheers,
Tom

Service issues. Annoying

I've been getting annoying service issues the past few days. I did in another state about 10 min away. And another county about 25min away. I keep leasing data. Or it will go in to emerancy calls only which makes me think its switching over to tmobile. Anyone know whats going on? Its not the area cause another att phone with me both times didn't have an issue at all! Im running surorom 7. With stock modem. Any one have an idea?
As I am typing this my phone done it. And it also likes to switch to edge a few times while in town.

opps. haha I just noticed. I dont know how I wound up here.
I have an I-777 and i keep having the same exact issue. It seems to happen alot when I'm more than 5 miles from home or work (where I spend 90% of my time.) I was on Omega with neak kernel and newest leak modem (***3 forgetting letters atm). Any help would be great I typically have great service and hspa+ all of the areas I travel.
Try replacing the sim card

Disable LTE on AT&T?

Is there any way to disable LTE yet on the S3 from AT&T? Widget, APN Add, etc??
Thanks!
I need that too for a better battery life.
Have you tried going to dialer and entering*#2263#. On Canadian model you can do this.

AT&T removed it for reasons I listed in a past post if I am not mistaken. I can rewrite the post later, just in a rush to head off to work
Puts me into service mode, but no options in there - Just says "RAT Selection option is restricted."
My Sprint S3 ran for 20+ hours on 3G without any issues, but since their data is so aweful we went to AT&T and on 4G lte we get 8 hours if we are lucky.
I guess the only other option is to flash a Canadian modem .

How to turn off 4g/3g on S3

I didnt see anything regarding this and i have been searching and searching how to get this done. Some might say turning 4g off on this phone ruins it. Personally I only use 4G when i need it. Otherwise i want to be on 3G to save battery and data usage.
Download:
"Phone info"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo
Once app is installed, open app.
-Select device info
-For select cdma auto (PRL)
-For 4g select LTE/cdma/EvDo
(Doing this from phone so please let me know if link doesnt work)
I know that juice defender app does that.

Or Settings > more > mobile network and then select an option that doesn't involve 4G...

I searched and i asked a couple times in the forum with no answers or guidance to answers. So if the other options work for you then by all means go for it. This app is very much like the lte onoff i was using on my tbolt so im familiar with the process. Easy and simply IMO. Hope it helps anyone else that may have been looking for this option.

I never saw 4G option in the international version of galaxy s3!!!!!!!
btw it doesn't support 4G/LTE as far as I remember.
@OP are you sure your in the right section??
Your signature shows ' SCH-I535' which is the verizon s3.

[Q] How to change phone number on CM10

About a week ago I bought a galaxy s III for metro pcs. It is working fine but the phone number showing up on about phone is wrong. I have called them but the access codes for the stock Rom doesn't work on CM10. Is there a hidden code for CM10 so I can change that? I have also looked all over the settings but can't find anything there. It would be really great if I could get some help.

Verizon Note 2 on AT&T prefix issue

Im new to XDA but not to my android phones. I recently traded a friend my AT&T Galaxy s3 for their Verizon Note 2. Knowing it can be used on ATT , I thought it was a great trade. Since, I've unlocked and rooted my phone and tried many different roms for my i605 and every rom seems to have a similar issue. It adds a plus + or +1 on all incoming calls and text. It's a real nusance and I realize its because it thinks im using it internationally. I have it in GSM mode. Ive also tried the prefixer app and it only partially fixed the issue. I have tried the moon rom v5 and I think it had the fix but the rom constantly crashed and was unusable. That rom was ported from the International version of the Note 2. My question is, what rom has that fix, can I use an AT&T or an international note 2 rom or any clue on how the remove the international prefix from the phone? I love the phone but I can't afford to replace it right now. I hope this isn't a redundant post but im sure im not the only one with this question.
Im actually on Straight Talk (AT&T) if that matters.
