Kernel for best battery life? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Which kernel would you recommend for good battery life? I don't really mind performance, as battery life is number one priority for me. Thanks in advance.

Hi, sorry I don't have an answer for your question. How come you're using an i747 in Korea?

I frequently visit Korea, and I currently have an AT&T account in the states. I was thinking of getting the Korean version of SGS3, but things got very pricey, so I decided to get one from AT&T ($200 vs $600 WITH 2 year contract ugh)
I have both active ATT and SKT account..so lucky me!

[Q] Using E4GT in UK

Hi guys
I apologize before I start if this is the wrong section for this. Please direct me to the correct one if it is.
I have seen some Sprint E4GT with "bad ESN" for sale on ebay and would like to know if I can use them on a network in the UK? I realise there is limited 4G in the UK at present but the E4GT falls back to 3G when no 4G is present....yes?
Is it possible to unlock to any network like I have done with my Galaxy SII i9100?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

The E4GT is a CDMA phone and is not compatible over in the UK, since GSM is used there.

Yeah sounds about right. There is the AT&T Skyrocket should be compatible over there though. Not sure what they're going for.

Canadian Note II Users

I understand the launch is likely tomorrow, or in the next few days. Despite this, Rogers and actually most of the other major Canadian carriers run on the same bands for GSM, 3G and LTE as AT&T. I know for other Samsung devices, this has meant a shared forum for all these carriers. Does anyone know if this will be the case for the Note II as well?
I guess we will have to wait and check our model #s. It would be a shame though for users to assume that because their radios might be the same, that their model is the same, and they brick their device (assuming they would in fact be different).
If anyone can enlighten me on the situation, let me know.
Thanks,
Kiwinadians
Not sure about Bell or Telus but Rogers is definitely using the at&t variant, model numbers match. Wind, Mobilicity and Videotron are going to be using T-Mobile's variant with AWS HSPA.

Thanks for the reply. This was the assumption I was making based on what I know about Canadian network frequencies, but you know what 'ass'uming does. Bell & Telus are usually similar, but I think they run a different lower freq. band for LTE (don't quote me on this, I'm thinking back to a wiki reference from a while ago).
I'm a 7-11 speakout user, so for me its the Rogers network, so I'll buy the non-contract Rogers variant. Thank goodness it also seems to be the cheapest!
Cheers
I placed my order with Rogers today for a.corporate account can't wait

according to wikipedia the telus, bell, rogers variants are all SGH-i317M. seems to me that this will be the same phone as the AT&T version, with just an M to signify its the Canadian version.
Previous samsung phones with the M have been exactly the same hardware, just branded to the Canadian carrier, which should mean that mods/roms etc designed for the AT&T variant would work just fine for us Canadians.

"Samsung will roll out a series of launch activities starting October 30 for the official release of the Samsung Galaxy Note II superphone in Canada. However, due to global product delays, Bell will begin shipping product to channels starting Wednesday October 31st. Please begin selling upon receipt of inventory."
Then he adds:
"Mobile DNA Hi James Fan really hope Bell could start processing the shipment. In addition to the global delay, bell also move there warehouse to a new location which is causing huge delay for all the shipments : ("

Pretty pathetic for a company to launch a product and have absolutely zero stock on hand to sell. Samsung really fudged things here. A lot of pissed off posts on their Facebook page.
I just ordered mine yesterday through rogers, I will post the information once I get it. Does anyone actually have a note 2 in Canada from one the carriers?

White Samsung headphones. No logos (Carriers in Canada don't put logos on phones anymore and haven't for a few years now )
does the store allow you to buy the phone full price without a plan?

[q] international vs att?!

hey guys, I'm sorry if this is already spoken about on here but I've been searching for hours and cant find an answer!
i want to buy the Note 2 & I'm currently w/ ATT.
There was an international one on amazon and id thought i was better off w. the international one since I do travel
out of the country and heard that the international already has or receiving the multi-view update quicker.
However after more reading Ive read that the international ones aren't 4G/LTE capable with ATT or any US carriers.
Is this trueee?
thnks in advance!
btw, the model # is n7100
That is true

Tmobile Note 2 On ATT Question

Hey guys a buddy of mine sold me his note 2 from tmobile. It is unlocked and working on my att service. My question is what can i do as far as the slow download speeds? I have LTE service and yes i know its not enabled on the tmo version yet but is there any way to get better download speeds? Flash a certain rom or flash a certain modem maybe? I wish the tmo version can be turned into a att version.....
What sorts of speeds are you getting exactly?
I'm getting around 1-2 mbps... is that normal on att hspa?
Wondering if I need to set the apns? I currently only see one option....

I'm not sure what the rules are on self bumping questions, but you waited 24 hours, which in my opinion is fine. Again, I don't know the rule, if there is one, but by my logic your actions were fine.
I wish I could help, I have the opposite problem. I have an ATT S3 unlocked, but I'm on T-mo. I only get EDGE. I'm selling the S3 on ebay though, I'll probably grab the Note 2. Although the March 15th "launch" of the SIV may make me hold off. Or get the Note 2 and use the return period to see if the SIV launches.
afaik the stock ROM doesn't have LTE built in, even on T-mo. Doesn't T-mo use the AWS split 1700/2100 for 4G too? That'd render the frequencies available non-compatible.
Hey muqail... Thanks for confirming I wasn't spamming. I guess the guy thought I was new like yesterday. .. Anyway have you tried to do the steps to get gs3 working on tmobile? Its In the
gnote 2 section for att. I can put a link as soon as I get home. ... People have their att note 2 working on tmobile band.

For sure hook me up. It works for voice, SMS and MMS, but EDGE only data speeds, which is SLOW. Hopefully someone will buy my S3 soon. Probably buy a Note 2 full off contract price and get the SIV when it's out with an upgrade price.

Why are you receiving only 2g speeds? I unlock att sgs3 for tmobile on a daily basis and get full 4g. What are you doing wrong?

[Q] Verizon Galaxy Note II - What SIM card(s) do I need to use my phone in Europe?

Hello All,
I'm going to Europe for my honeymoon :highfive: and I'll be visiting Austria, Germany, Italy, and Greece. I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II (SCH-I605) rooted and unlocked (casual) running CleanROM 4.5 and the Perseus 33.4 Kernel.
I'm really confused about the whole SIM card business. I know that if I just go overseas using Verizon as my primary service that I'll go bankrupt. Here are my questions:
1. What SIM card or cards do I need in order to have both data and voice service in those countries? Is there a good one card does all?
2. What is the procedure for using a SIM card? Is there anything special I need to do since my phone already unlocked? Is there a way I could "test" to ensure that it's unlocked
The reason I need to have data is because I will be using GPS a lot in order to find my way around.
I really appreciate the help!!!

I haven't heard of a roaming "add-on". I know that Verizon has a global package but that it's absolutely sky high in cost in comparison to local plans.

Well ironical is that you are going to a world trip and you are gonna become bankrupt due to roaming fee.
Anyways I would recommend you to try putting another sim card.

Lol have you seen the rates that Verizon charges? If I were to even have moderate usage, I could ring up charges that nearly add up to the cost of my transatlantic flight!!!!
