Hi!
Next September I'm going to travel to the USA (and also Canada).
I'm currently using XXMS2 radio.
I'm thinking on buying a T-Mobile or a AT&T SIM card.
What is a good radio for this networks and also gps so I can have the zip ready to flash when I arrive in the USA?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards.
I used my sgs2 with a t-mobile prepaid SIM in the US this summer and it worked quite well. My RIL and basband are both XXLS8. (truth be told though my guess is XXMS2 will work just fine.)

Thanks for the info man! Just for precaution, I'll have the XXLS8 zip on my sd card ready to flash if I have any problem..
By the way, how much did you paid for your T-Mobile SIM and what were the conditions/data plan?
Thanks in advance!

Hang on...
Are you talking about an I9100 or a I-727 ? Because if you're talking about the latter, you're posting in the wrong forum & need to find/post in I-727 Q&A.
If you do have an I9100, you need to search for/find threads where people have mentioned modems which work well with the I9100 in the US (there are no specific US modems for the I9100 as it was never sold by carriers there), then search for/find the modems in question.
Ya I have the i9100 but had to use this because I have no internet on the i9100 ... I did find the post on it but could not find the usa one I was looking for ug but could not find one any place I did flash kg5 but the network comes and go's in and out and most apps wont load thats why I was hoping that someone would send me to the right place or at least tell me witch one they use here in the US

Ahhh OK. No, don't flash a T-Mobile modem, totally different firmware. Other than trial & error, you're going to have to wait/hope someone who uses an I9100 in the US sees your thread & offers advice (bump it once a day).

I am now with Vodaphone in SYD
Using Rarity Rom, with I9100TDUKF4...
the reception seemed to be very bad... any suggestion?
Also maybe becoz of CSC as well?
push.... a little help?

Heya, I don't know much at all about modems, but seeing as no one else has any ideas I thought I'd just suggest for you to take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277593
The second post shows a comparison between all of the modems that he tested.
I flashed KI4 just because.
I haven't noticed any differences (yet. I haven't really tested it out much) but then again I didn't have issues to start with.
Maybe worth a try? 8)
I've also found this and decided to flash it, too.
(Something to do with GPS stuff)

I have been told local radio/baseband/modem will be better in terms of reception... not sure if that is true...
i'll give it a go anyway =]
In settings/about phone is your baseband 'dukf4'?

I'm using the I9100TDUKF4 modem with I9100 KJ3 firmware. Works well.
Give the Telstra I9100TDVKF2 modem a go. I found it better than the Vodafone modem for the I9100T.
Search for it in the Q&A forum.

Thanks all... I'm switching a lot of baseband today, KH3, KH4 is not good for T version S2s....
and yes, it was I9100TDUKF4 in basband before, that gave me an average speed and reception...
I have also aware that maybe the service provider will affect the reception, so my guess will be if for T version S2s, it has to be used different baseband when the phone is with Telstra and voda...
anyway i am using NEKF2 atm, the speed is amazing but the reception is again not much improved....

Yep! For i9100t it's best to use only the voda or telstra modems. I use kf4 on my telstra version running optus sim.
Does anyone have a cwm version of the telstra modem?

non-T version has tones of choices
I can't yet post in the dev threads yet so maybe I can get some help with this problem here.
I have svoice installed but I can't seem to use it unless connected to Wifi. If I am just on regular cell data - 4g LTE then it gives me the network error message.
I am in Toronto, Canada if that makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I am with Telus. I wonder which radio we should be using?
Have you had any problems with GPS?

Went back to Saurom 7.1 everything works apart from Svoice.
What rom are you having the issues with?

I have the problem with both OnlyOne and Team Perfection, but for team perfection I used another svoice because it wasn't supported in RC1.
I just tried installing blaze modem but that did not fix it.

There are a couple of modem threads.
I saw an ICS Telus modem, I may try that on my next flirt with OnlyOne. For now I'm staying with Saurom, or until someone can clarify our issues. I'm really just guessing its modem or radio related. I found too, that upper back panel of phone was getting really hot.

Out of curiosity, is your wifi connection with Rogers?
I have not seen anyone with Telus in either of those 2 rom threads , mostly Rogers accounts. Its beyond me!!
Edit: I have just pm'd a user on the OnlyOne thread that displays Telus as his provider. I will update if he responds.
dont worry, you arent the only one. I have an HTC One X and I have the same issue. S voice works on wifi, but not on the network. And I'm with Bell.
Bell and Telus share the same network, but Androyeed, aren't you able to use svoice with Sauron?
kifac is in mississauga, maybe we could convince him to switch to telus Or we could kidnap him and force him to make his awesome ROM work for us. Hmmmm lol

As far as Svoice on Saurom is concerned, perhaps I misled you unwittingly by saying everything works on Saurom, should be "everything other than Svoice, I believe Svoice is an ICS only app." I have corected my post to reflect that.

Guys i just don't understand the difference between international S3 and Australia Vodafone S3 with code T
Does anyone figure out any differences?
And are there any customised roms that fit this type of S3?
Thx
No difference for development purpose. Both are same. Only difference is that T version is more customised for 850 networks.
The only thing you need to make sure is to use modem version that is more suitable to your network. But that does not mean that other modems can brick your device.

From reports I have read on Whirlpool, with the Galaxy S2 there was no improvement on the 'T' version on Telstra, but Telstra actually 'detuned' the 900mhz channel....
I had issues on Telstra with my non- T version S2, losing connection in my kitchen etc.... I used a friends 'T' version- absolutely no difference, the same asu etc right next to each other, same data rate, same issue of people not hearing me from my kitchen...
I know that is not discussing the S3, but it wouldn't surprise me if there is no difference at all, just marketing a way to promote some sort of exclusivity. When I was on Telstra with the S2, other modems than the Telstra one actually gave me better data rates...

Is there anything I should do before flashing any rom I want? I mean do I have to crack the net lock before flashing via odin or CWM?

Cool and thx:good:
Actually I'm just from I9000 which I used for 2 years. It seems that the ways of flashing roms through odin or CWM are excetly same.
I'm new here. Looks like XDA has several forums for different versions of S3 (ATT, T-mobile, etc). So next time when I want to find some roms or discuss with you guys, shall I post in the forum named "Samsung Galaxy S III I9300" or other S3 forum with a specific tele company name ?

Your current baseband should work fine since it is unlocked.
You can't put an I9100 modem on an I777. They are incompatible. However, you can put any number of I777 modems on there. They are all available in a sticky thread in the development forum. As azeem40 said, the one you have on there now should work okay. If the person who is receiving the phone is tech savvy, then perhaps you could show them where to get the modems and how to change it, so that they can pick the one that works the best for them.

Thank you very much, i thought that i9100 might not be compatible but since it is unlocked i felt it should work fine but was not quite sure and since i am giving it to one who does not know a bit about this stuff i thought if i could get some answers here i could make those changes back there to solve any issues, thank you once again.

I unlocked my SGH-I717 by accessing the hidden menu via the Dialer. It works with my tmobile sim card fine. What I'm wondering is would it work with any SIM card with the TMOBILE ICS modem, or do I need to use a different modem? I'm planning on selling it on ebay and need to know, because I need to make sure that I can advertised it as unlocked and able to work with any SIM. I would greatly appreciate any helpful response.
You can tell the buyers that the phone is unlocked and they can flash their own modem if things don't work on their network.
There is no good answer to your question.
