[Q] basic T-mobile GSIII - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Thank You 1st.
Trying to find a user manual for T-mobile Galaxy S III. Not sure if I'm missing it on this site / or my eye-site is worse than I thought .
T-mobiles site shows that its not available yet . Just trying to understand the basics of the phone - 2nd smartphone since the GSII was replaced 7 times and never actually used it for anything other than basic calls -- so I finally got the SG III, so I'm a newnewbe, and I can screw up my pc just by turning it on. hit your 50's and learning curve is more like trying to fish in the desert ! Thanks again. PR

You should get the manual from the above link.
Also suggest you to download Samsung Galaxy SIII user digest from the play store. The app will explain all the inbuilt features of your phone.

Just got a "Congrats on your Nexus" text from VZW

Anyone else just get this? Just curious why im getting it almost a week later
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've gotten that when I got the Bionic, The RAZR, The Rezound. I think it's just something standard they do.
Yup. Got the phone last Friday and got the text yesterday (Tuesday).

I figured, just curious why it came so late and if it had anything to do with their network coming back up this morning
I did too.. it gave me a warm fuzzy
I got an email from android ([email protected] via google.com):

Mass effect infiltrator

There seem to be two versions in the market, neither compatible with the S3. Though the slightly more expensive version is compatible with my S2.
Is it worth buying that one whilst it is on sale for 69 pence? Or is that one that will never be compatible with the S3?

MS infiltrator working fine on my S3.
Which version did you get? There seem to be two in the Market
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk.
unless you have a custom ROM which was built from a NON UK source the game will NOT work
This message shows on the app market page:
"This item cannot be installed in your device's country."
It sucks big time. Maybe a custom App DL'd elsewhere. But obviously that's a bit dodgy
Looks like EA list US and rest of world versions. Not yet compatible with the S3. But I have still bought it whilst on sale.
Sure it will get S3 compatibility in time?.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk.
the game works fine, i finished it couple of days ago its brilliant.
I have a Tab 10.1 and an Acer A510 tied to my Google account. Using the 'rest of the world' version, I still can't buy it with either tablet. A shame really cause it's on sale and I want to give EA my money. I've already played the whole game, but since I got the apk without paying them...anyways seems like EA doesn't want my money.
I can't buy it either! Shame now that it was only 0.69€
I bought it pretending it is for my old S2 but cannot download it as of yet.
Anyone know if there is a market enabler for the S3 we can use?
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk.
I have also bought the game on sale for my Galaxy S II running CM9 and it downloaded fine plus the files also downloaded fine but after that, all i see is a black screen. Anyone else having such a problem?
I sent an E Mail to EA and they were no help.
I bought it for my old phone just 2 weeks before my SGS3 arrive from pre-order. Full price, just to find out this don't work on the new phone.
Now I'm in touch with EA to solve this.
Dead Space have the same problem.
On the other hand, Modern Combat 3, from Gameloft, that I bought on sale, just took me 5 days until them sent me the APK compatible with SGS3.
From the Bioware Community Manager:
"Attention Samsung Galaxy S3 owners: The device will be receiving an update in the next few weeks which will let you play ME: Infiltrator!"

So, good news
In the next few weeks... come on that cant be...

I managed to get my hands on the MEI APK from the Titanium Backup of my last device and with that I installed MEI and even downloaded the aditional data without any problem.
The game is already compatible with the SGS3, the problem is just to update the compatibility list on the download page.
I just checked the android market and it is now listed as compatible with my device. Might want to give it another look and see if it downloads.
I purchased this game on my Galaxy Note. I can see it there as purchased on my S3 but it says incompatible.
How can I get around this???

Legend. :good:
So I got the game to download it's ~400mb of data and it loads the intro, but just cuts out to the home screen part way through.
I've tried restarts, uninstall, re-install, all the basic stuff.
Any ideas?
I bought it for my sgs2, and sent the apk to my sgs3
Works perfectly

[Q] Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Page Plus

Hi:
I bought a pre-owned Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone.
The phone came with Android ICS, I did an upgrade to Android JB using "Nexus Root Tool Kit". I installed BAMF Paradigm ROM in the phone.
Now I'm trying to get phone service from Page Plus. What else do I need to do to make this phone work with Page Plus 3G service?.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Sprint Nexus l700 changes MIN to MDN
I'm having the hardest time changing my MIN and MDN in my Nexus L700 to pageplus. I finally got the RIGHT drivers...and finally connected the phone to ETS...and finally learned the basics of flashing with it...LOL. (I think it'll gets easier) Anyway. I see in the automated scripts " Overwrite MDN with IMSI_S=0". That looks to me like the phones original programming has that bit set to "1". Everytime I change either the MDN or the MIN...the end up the same. I think this is the final step...(I hope) to switching this Sprint Galaxy Nexus L700 over to verizon.
Also...the script "Verizon to Pageplus doesn't work with my Sprint to Pageplus phone..

You're VERY welcome! I was determined to released the FIRST YouTube video on How To Root the Sprint Galaxy Note II, and I succeeded! I WILL BE doing videos of some of the roms currently available. I have a full time job, and get 3 days off each week. I have been going to bed and getting just a few hours of sleep lately, trying to get videos out on the days I work. I was working on my Galaxy S III video last night, and got it half finished. I'll finish it today before Dexter and The Walking Dead come on, then spend Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday making rom videos, and most importantly, how to flash stock! I will be making TONS of videos on the Note 2, but I have several other devices to make videos on as well.

Added a new video to the OP for you guys! THIS ONE. When they release a 100% stock tar, I'll make a video on how to flash back to 100% stock using Odin. I also need to flash some of the roms that are currently available.
Great new video! like you, I'm waiting for the tether app to be updated. Does FlossyCarter have a review of the Note II too?
Do you recommend me selling my GS3 on ebay and then buying a Note 2? Also do you know if CM10 is available? I probably won't be flashing CM10 because I want the S-Pen features.
does that FoxFi app work with the Note 2....???

If I decide to root, but still keep everything else stock for now...will it affect ability to download OTA? I've been holding off. I do know I will have to re-root after it comes of course. There seems to be conflicting info wherever I've tried to search/read so I'm just asking, officially. I don't want to have to unroot to get the multi-view love.

While you are rooted you will not be able to get OTAs
The developers that we have will take the official rom and make it custom once we get updates. Rooting wont block an OTA, it will just removes the root, you could reroot, or you could just install one of the custom roms with multiview, as the devs will update roms as soon as the official updates come along. There is really nothing to loose.
Cannot wait till the OTA comes out. I'm actually enjoy Touchwiz

I am not convinced you are correct in the statement that "Rooting does not block OTA updates". I have my Galaxy Note 2 (paid full price but then Samsung is giving me $375.00 for my *old* Galaxy Note so I am not complaining) that is only rooted, no custom rom or tweaks. Every time I go to check for updates "Settings, About Device, Software Update" it always says "Update Interrupted, phone will check for updates in the next 48 hours". This seems to me like it is not actually connecting to the update server (I have tried over WiFi and over 4g with the same results).
Could be that you are right and I am wrong and my phone is not right, but everything else about my Galaxy Note II is AWESOME.
I am counting on Kies having the update as soon as AT&T does it OTA and I will just get it by direct connection to my laptop.

I am pretty sure every phone I have had that has been rooted ( 7 phones and 1 tablet) has been able to download updates some couldn't install them. Just last week my rooted nexus 7 was prompted for the 4.2 OTA and it updated successfully. There is a chance you'll lose root or even brick your device. So be careful.

I found out about the upgrade offer via email. You might have to subscribe / register an account on their website to get emails, promos, etc. I was suprised my Note 1 upgrade was more than street value. It was a no-brainer to upgrade, although I was a bit hesitant because I like the Note 1 black color better.
Wtf note 1 trade 375. Sgs3 trade 275. Thats retarded. The 275 is better than craigslist moronic offers ive been getting. The note1 is outdated and less value than a sgs3. I dont get it the sgs3 isnt as old and far superior

Hey - it's rude to use the word retarded. You'll cry when you end up having a 'retarded' kid. Aside from that, I think the Note 1 is an alternative to the SG3. The specs are pretty much the same, but you get the bigger screen - unless you want the smaller screen.
