[Q] SIII clone but which one ?? Help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
it's been a week I'm looking for what is this device.
Not an SIII, I'm sure
Not a Feiteng I9300

It's certainly not an SIII i9300, nor made by Samsung. Suggest you search Google for clone images, we can't help you.

Exactly. We only know about GT-i9300's. We do not know about Xperias, HTC Ones, or Clones.

About phone may give you a clue but you need to use Google for information .
Its not an S3

Damned
I have not found anything with google and Chinese sites. This is not Feiteng, HDC ...
I'll put it in the trash

I faced three clones. One with such dual sim and two "closer to original", even with proper proportions, SIM slot etc.
This is the first one. http://www.chinaecarts.com/samsung-...nch-mtk6577-android-41-16gb-phone-p-3095.html

However I'm not sure if it's exactly this one because you know... It's China. However it looks like I found it.

There is a Chinese s3 with dual sim that isn't a clone too. Rare we see it though

Thanks for the reply, this is a nice guide, but i already rooted the phone, thing is, i want to use a custom rom, and there is no forums for the SGH-I747M or whatever, so im wondering if the I9300 roms/kernels work for it
Sorry not sure if this helps you, but there are other S3 forums.
I would think the telus/bell/rogers devices are more similar to the AT&T version, as it is also designated a similar model number SCH-I747.
Link to the other forums here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1667
According to www.pdadb.net your i747 is similar to AT&T's S3 http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3602&c=samsung_sgh-i747_galaxy_s_iii_lte
BUT I would recommend you do a lot more research and ask the devs in that section before trying anything. As you will most probably end up messing your phone up in using something incompatible.

I would definitely not use anything meant for the i9300 on your device as it is not hardware compatible, different CPU (quad samsung vs dual qualcomm)

HELP| Lock Problem

Hello guys,
Sorry if this thread were should be opened in another forum because I'm new here (from your grateful video - I'm noob).
Look, I have Samsung Galaxy SIII I9300, and I have a problem with the Lock.
After that last update that Samsung released to the devices, I've installed it but after that when I tried to lock my device (click on the right side button to lock) after couple of minutes or random time the screen is unlocked by him selves, and locked back after couple of seconds and thats happening a lot of times.
I've tried to turn off all the settings like the movement sensors, voice sensor everything I could think about, even I read that if I pull off my SIM card it may solve my prolem and the problem is with the SIM or something but I tried that and I still had the problem.
Maybe you guys can help me or you know how to fix that or maybe you had this problem in the past?
In Thursday I will give my device to the store I bought the device from.
-----------------------------------
Another question, I've saw many forums abiot the device "Samsung Galaxy S3" but its the same device no? why there is like 5 forums abot this device? with the names: "Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T" and etc ?
What are those devices?
Thanks in advance for any help, please it is very important to me!
Not completely sure about your 1st main question but to answer your second question, the reason why there are other Galaxy S3 forums is because this is the International Galaxy S3 for example UK and europe. Verison and AT&T and Spirit and others are the different versions within America. Each has a different name. For example the International UK version are mainly GT-I9300 where as Spirit is SPH-L710. It makes all the difference when downloading the correct roms. Because if you downloaded a rom made for the SPH-L710 Spirit Galaxy S3 and flashed it to the International GT-I9300 then you could completely brick your device and would have one really expensive door stop or paper weight.
Hope this helped.

[Q] [ASKING] Korean Samsung Galaxy S III SHV-E210K USSD Code Running Problem

Hello everyone!
I'm from Indonesia. I have this SHV-E210K for about 3 months, and it is stressful knowing that I can't check the balance credit. I have search in any forum, and whether it's in XDA or any forum, it's still don't have the answer.
I have read that in S1 I9000 you can just disabling mobile tracker and USSD code will work again. But in this time, it's different matter. I can't use the method from I9000..
There is known problem in my Galaxy S III SHV-E210K with JB 4.1.2 or before at ICS that USSD code won't work. I faced this problem for many days and was unable to use some GSM services like balance checking etc. Normally in other phone, I can check it with just dial *123#, now since I using SHV-E210K the code won't work, so I must change my USIM to other phone to registering the data package or check my phone balance etc.
Please some one help me! I really need this answer!
*my Samsung Galaxy SIII SHV-E210K never being rooted, it's still official from the first time until now.
I know there is official thread about SHV-E210K, but not specific and not have diffrenciate thread page like T-mobile or any SIII with its carrier, so looking the answer from the member from SHV-E210 forum is too hard. :'(
Thread SHV-E210 is too silent, not like the others which is always crowded, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710084
I recently write the SHV-E210K review, feel free to come http://bay9091band.blogspot.com/2013/02/review-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-shv-e210k.html
please someone help me :crying:

[Q] VM Galaxy roms?

Evening everyone
I'm looking to get a new phone. My current one Evo V has terrible battery life, and the bezel is starting to come off, due to being dropped. It's just in a generally sorry state, and I want to upgrade. I've been looking at the Galaxy S3 on Virgin Mobile. I have a few questions, namely:
Which category should I be looking at for roms?
Since I don't have the phone yet, I'm unsure of the model, etc, so I'm not entirely sure which forum I should be looking in.
Can I use Sprint roms?
If I active, and then root/flash/etc, is there any reason I can't/shouldn't use a Sprint rom? I know I'd have to change the APN to work with VM MMS. Are there any VM specific roms that I should use instead?
Is there any reason I shouldn't get this phone?
This is mainly for my own peace of mind. I know it's a great phone, but I don't want to drop ~300$ if I can get something with the same amount of dev support, for less.
Thanks everyone!
Go to settings- about phone - model number.
You can ONLY use ROMs made for your model.
Flashing ROMs not made for your phome model will definitely mess up your phone and may even lead to a permanent, unrecoverable hardbrick.
Read the stickies. All the best.

Thanks for the quick replay, but as I stated in OP, I haven't bought a phone yet. Therefore I can't check the model number. I was really hoping someone with some VM experience would see this and be able to give me a definitive answer.
And yeah, I know you should only ever flash roms made for your specific model. However, a lot of VM phones are Sprint models, with rebranded face plates and the like. Usually Sprint roms can be flashed on them, though with limited usability.
Have a look in the sprint s3 forum then and ask there. This is the i9300 forum. Miles away in hardware and geography.

[Q] No Support For the I9301I, Correct?

Hey everyone,
I unwittingly bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo (I9301I) today instead of the I9300, and have been having a lot of trouble finding anything to flash onto it. I think I've found my answer already, but to be sure: am I correct in thinking that there's no ROM support for the S3 Neo out currently? No Recovery app and no ROM to play with? If I'm correct, can anyone tell me if there are plans currently underway to change this? Or perhaps it's possible to use ROMs meant for the I9300?
Kind regards,
Matthias
I appears not only you made this mistake... I also bought i9301i instead of i9300 (long story short - I knew it was "Neo", the old version i9300 was hard to get).
At this moment I'm looking for custom roms, but it appears to be "too fresh" device with no support from e.g. CyanogenMod team. There is a problem in different components (as a newbie I'm not allowed to post links, so I have to obscure it) devicespecifications dot com slash en slash comparison slash e1d42876 (link found on XDA forums).
Also - I think that there are too few people using i9301i, so chances for creating new subforum on XDA are... Slim.
That is some bad news

Hey nekr0, thanks for the first reply, I'm hoping we'll get some good news about this soon, I'd love to start trying out some ROMs on this nice device. Even if it's just one or two ROMs I'd be a pretty happy camper overall.
Cheers.
Dont worry too much.
Its only a matter of time to get some support from XDA. It wont be as populat as S3 flag, but something will be done for sure.
I have bought 9301 as well, and using it for a week now, unrooted. Phone seems to be a good value for money for me. Time will tell though.
I have noticed that many people are confused about S3, S3 Neo, S3 Neo+.
Either way, it seems we will get 4.4.4 on 9301, so keep calm and dont push it too hard. Kernel modifications are risky.

It's a nice device, I'm happy with the hardware, I hope you're right, I guess I'll just be patient and hope there'll be a developer who is willing and able to make the port.
Cheers.
4.4.4
Dont cry samsung s3 neo I9301I will be the first samsung with 4.4.4 even before s5 or s4 or note 3.

I read this but is in italian http://www.optimaitalia.com/blog/20...ento-4-4-4-per-i-samsung-galaxy-s3-neo/165516
Yes, it is information about Samsung Galaxy S III Neo... But Samsung is misleading us with naming. There are 2 "Neos", sometimes it is Neo, sometime Neo+, sometime Neo Duos/Duo. In this article you linked, information is about i9300i - yes, two regions already have 4.4.4 update: SKZ (Kazakhstan) and TGY (Hong Kong), but this topic is about i9301i. This is not the same device.

I really hate Samsung' naming conventions, they're terribly confusing. But yes, this thread is about the i9301i specifically.
Good news for GT-I9301i owner: Rox bought that device and will develop/build universal root, cwm and cm for us!

That is some great news! I went to his/her user account, but there's no development thread for this yet right? If there is, could you link it, if there isn't could you tell me how you know this?
