Hi, i'm an Motorola Defy ex-user.
This week i'm gettin' this phone and i'm reading a lot but i'm still have some questions.
Is there at&t version roms to N1? or can i use anyone avaible?
I'm askin' because i'm afraid to lose 3G using some an incompatible rom. Or there is not any chance to lose 3G modding this phone?
You may notice that english is not my native languaje, so be understandable with me.
No there is no specific roms for the at&t version.
They all work just fine. I have the at&t one and every roms 3g works for me.

Just make sure you get att version of the phone if you want att 3g. And vice versa for tmobile.
Roms do not matter its the radios inside the actual phones that matter.
And this is the WRONG forum by the way.

Thanks for the answers.
By the way, i didn't know what section was the correct.
Please move to the correct one and close it because my question has been solved.
Again, thanks a lot.

Honestly I dont need 4g or lte as thry generate way too much heat. Is there a mod to force our phones to use 3g instead??
I think this may help in both battery life and heating up.
My s2 x hercules using 4g didnt heat up as bad...
Its just too hot for me since the antennae is heating on the place we hold the phone in portrait mode
Anyone can point me on the right direction??
Maybe I can play around with the RIL???

Wrong forum bud, you want q&a. But.... I think Rogers has a toggle and is the same model number as you, so maybe. I know on at&t there's no working toggle as of yet.

Well, the easiest way is flashing the JellyBean 4.1.1 rom from cyanogenmod, I get HSPDA and 3G on it and I wish I had 4gLTE. The rom doesn't seem to have much issues. I am using it as a daily driver and it is pretty good.
Well, the Rogers version has the switch under Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Mode
Dunno about telus, but I'm pretty sure it should be there otherwise you'll need to flash a custom ROM to make this happen as suggested above or use an APN with the 3G settings instead of the LTE settings...
I would have got the international version if I didn't want the device to get the blazing data speeds LTE can offer.
It would be a useful tool to have for our LTE devices though. Since not everyone wants or has LTE anyway. I plan on keeping LTE on but to each there own.
i love LTE speeds, makes the experience completely different than the international ( i know i have both). But the battery drain on LTE is maddenly and the heat is quite disturbing.

Hey all, atm I use the stock rom, rooted for tmobile. (Stock rom isnt that bad for JB tbh.. to my surprise) However I just switched to ATT, waiting on my nano to micro adapter to come in so I can switch back to use it. Now as far as I read, I should have the 3g and 4g bands just fine, I just wont have LTE on ATT, correct? Next up, aside from using titanium backup to force uninstall TMOs software, was wondering, should I change out my rom too or is stock still cool to use for ATT?
That or what is everyone else doing if they took their S3 to ATT or tweaks that could help for network speed etc. That or apps that are good for ATT on it. Thanks.
Anyone? Or is there no tweaks or more ideal rom builds. Atm I mange to get 3-4 Mbps download speeds. Not sure how fast Iphone 5 gets.. Didnt test and dont feel like taking the sim out again tonight lol.
As suggested by the ATT S3 section of the forums, Ill put my post here too with more details on what I could be looking for.
Hello, Just changed from Tmobile to ATT. I already unlocked it, and am running it on 4G. Sad part is, download is only like 1-3 Mbps it seems. While my Iphone 5 can get close to 7 Mbps (Now this is just 4G band, NOT LTE)
So I am wondering if there are some tweaks I need to adjust in the build.prop or anything else. Atm I just use the stock rom thats rooted. (Since it seems nice enough for JB and honestly, I havent figured out which custom rom beats the stock rom 100% without losing any features.
Also noticed I cant install the ATT Visual voicemail as it claims device isnt compatible. (Which that I am sure I can use a build.prop edit for the model. Question is, which model and items do I need to adjust and to what value?)
Anyways, if anyone has some good advice about using the tmobile S3 on ATT and getting it tweaked to be the best it can be, or a rom that is perfect for switching between ATT and Tmobile (should I use my prepay tmo sim in it again) and provide high data speed. Would be great.
Oh also.. just so I know. Can I use the ROMs posted in this ATT section of XDA for the t999 tmo s3 or do I need to still only use roms from the tmo s3 section of xda? Thanks. =)

Not sure about the other stuff, but with regard to this, your phone is still a t999 no matter what carrier you are with. Hardware doesnt change, so I would recommend you stick around in the tmo section.
Some att ROMs may work, but not sure which, so if you DO want to use an att rom, I would suggest asking the dev if it will work for the t999.
Sorry I couldnt answer about the rest, im too noobish for all that
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yea thats the trick, Seems its hard to even find that advice lol. I mean long as I dont use the international s3 roms. Just between Tmobiles and ATT. I dont know. I dont even know if its considered the same model and could use the same rom. Perk of using an ATT rom, may increase my network speed some along with being able to use their apps. Atm I cant use the ATT Visual voicemail since it says my phone isnt compatible. Which I know I could prob bypass that with the build.prop provided I knew which model to make my phone.
First of all i wanna say, you all do an amazing job with all of this. So ive been looking around the forums and i cant find an answer to my question, so i will post and wait for replay. i have the at&t version (i747) of the gs3 and had updated to 4.1.1 via kies. early march i found a post on your forums about sim/carrier unlocking and tried it out. it worked w/o any problems, so i headed to t-mobile to jump on their monthly unlimited 4g plan. installed sim and had no problems. all functions work: calls, im, sms, mms, data (edge, 3g, and HSPA+), everything. on march 17th, i decided to try out a custom rom. i odin rooted my phone with cwm then tried out [ROM][4.2.2][STABLE] LiquidSmooth v2.1 - d2att - 3|16|13. works absolutely fine. sorry for the long wind but i just want to make sure i give all info before posting my question as i may prevent unness replies. having an at&t phone using tmobile as the carrier, can i use roms intended for t-mobile only, or do i have to stick to at&t/multi-carrier roms only?
Honestly making sure you have a T-Mobile put in is all that matters. Other than that they are fairly interchangeable.

I have been making roms, from Canada claro i747m, and tmobile t999 and att 747 and they all work as they should. no problems at all, using stock att modem i747ucdlk3 without any issues...
all I did was change the build prop to represent d2att..
I have simplemobile which is a tmobile company.. except for now I just used up my 4g.. I usually get 3g, but for some reason im getting an E which speed is like 2g edge.. slow at the moment.. never seen that in 3 months..
check my signature, for my roms... they r all stock original roms..
I'm in the same situation as the op. I have at&t i747 unlocked to use with tmobile. My question is, if I flash a multi-rom What carrier do I choose during the aroma install? do I pick tmobile because thats what network im using now or do I pick at&t because its originally an at&t device? any help or advice would be greatly aprecciated.
during the install of liquidsmooth i chose att since i do have the branded phone. i cant use the lte settings for network cause tmob doesnt have their lte out yet (soon to drop), but i am wanting to try the tmobile install and see if i get any difference in data speeds. other than that, liquidsmooth is a pretty solid build. this is the only rom i have tried on my gs3 so far. id like to try others to maybe help give feedback for builders, i just wasnt sure if i could use tmobile or had to stick to att roms. thanks for the info.
on a side note, the rom unlocked a 1080p video record and i like showing ppl the OC ability. 1.9Ghz. YAY!!!
when I first made my Canada Claro rom d2can everything worked out the box. the only thing was it was showing me info of I747m, everything was still working, same when I made my tmobile rom, it was showing d2tmo, everything worked out the box, just that it showed me info of T999, so both of the roms worked, all I did was change the build prop to represent d2att ATT info..
So the answer is yes, u can use other roms... just be careful not to install the modem. I never changed that. I remove them from the rom.
Danger,, I tried making the international GT I9300 and removed the modem, changed the build prop.. almost bricked my phone, played with it to try to make it work, It would hang and sometimes not boot up... so stay away from international one.
so if u try Canada or tmobile u should be safe, its the same phones... or if someone post roms that are ported to att i747.
I am using i747 for T-Mobile.
Can somebody tell me what ROM i should use in order to get WIFI Calling on it ?
Thank you.
i unlocked a sgh-i747 sgs3 for use on tmobile. when i was stock, i could get 4G and Edge only. After a suggestion, i updated my phone and it connected to all manner of 4G and HSPA networks.
i decided that i wasnt happy with the ROM and upgraded to CM 10.1.2-d2att by means of CWM v6.0.3.1.
after getting this happily flashed, i loaded CM and am now stuck in 3g.
any ideas???
I may be wrong, so don't try it without confirmation, but if you don't touch the radios, don't you need the t-mobile roms rather than the at&t ones? I suspect the problem using an at&t Rom is your apn's are messed up. Also check the order your networks try.

can you elaborate on this? i know what a radio is, but i don't know if i follow you. as someone pretty new to all this, i feel that i did mess with the radio in order to get the AT&T phone, before i installed CM, to connect properly to the 3G signals.
In recovery you can flash modems and baseband. These are specific to the hardware in your phone. You should only flash ones specific to your model number. However the Roms are basically the same between different versions of the phone but with minor changes (at least between t mobile and at&t). There was a thread around explaining how to use a t mobile Rom on an at&t phone.

i tried to straight flash the tmobile rom and the little android guy died
rofl
meh... im in a bad place. i can't flash the CM i want because apparently the bootloader that fixes the 3G issue for me is based on ICS. if i update the bootloader so i can get the good CM, i guess i lose the fix... right now, i've reverted to the touchwiz that comes with the fix i talked about in my OP and 4G works properly again.
rock and a hard place.
Am glad you got something working. Can you sell that gs3 and get the T Mob version? If it were me, I'd probably stick with a touch wiz version for a while.
I'll try and read up some tomorrow.

heh, i just bought it. got it this morning from the post office! it was the cheapest one i could get given certain circumstances. you're right, it would be so much easier to just have the official tmobile version.
i have it back in CM now, but it's CM10.0.*. android 4.1 i think. and i'm getting HSPA+ with it. my biggest issue is that 3G fix... it sticks me on a ICS bootloader and that holds back the CM version from being anything 10.1.*. but at least i'm running CM now, even if it's not 4.2.
Hey guys, long time xda user and flasher here. I bought the chinese/hk model N9300ZHU, I was wondering if I can somehow flash the STOCK T-Mobile firmware on it through ODIN or would I have to root it and just flash a rooted tmo Rom through TWRP instead of ODIN? Any help and insight would be appreciated !
Bump. Anyone?
Hello, I dont have the answer to your question, but I am thinking about buying the SM- N9300 for AT&T here in the USA. Just wondering how has it been working for you? LTE, apps, connections, etc. Should I have any concerns? Thanks

Everything is fine as far as connections and network go. I just wanted it to show LTE instead of 4g. Anything thing I miss is VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling. I saw a root method for tmo and at&t users where you can flash sprints files through ODIN and have Wi-Fi calling work but dunno if the 9300 supports all this.
Okay, thanks......Ive also read that its a little difficult to put your Google account on there. Something between China & Google. But i guess some people have managed to put Gapps on there somehow. Is 4g considered LTE here in the states?
