Can anyone point me in the direction of wifi Calling for Wind T999V since it is identical to Tmobile's Galaxy S3 It should also work I believe. Thanks
FYI - I am a Tmobile customer here in the states.

Is built in the software and is in more options of networks, you probably going to need to flash a tmobile rom

But doing so I would loose my hotspot as t-mobile locked it down on their rom.

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,

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.

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 )

Hello everybody, I am currently planning on coming to Tmobile from Att and I have a unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 from ATT. I know it will work in terms of service, but my question is when I come to flash roms, would I flash them from the Tmobile section of XDA? Or the ATT section of XDA?
The phone originally being ATT with Tmobile Sim card was really throwing me off and I didn't want to do any thing stupid.
Thank you so much for your time.

After inserting a Tmobile sim card into your UNLOCKED phone you will be able to flash
any of the roms here in the Tmobile thread as well as in the AT&T thread.
If you flash a AT&T rom the only thing you need to do to make it work properly is to
change the APN (Access Point settings) in the phone to be "T-Mobile US".
The phone can do that automatically by going into:
Settings>more settings>mobile networks>Network operators>Select automatically and select "select automatically"
and it will find that you have a Tmobile sim and it will change the apn to reflect that.
The phone will work just fine either way, however there is one main difference between
the roms found in the AT&T thread and this Tmobile thread.
The difference is when using Tmobile roms which are not ported from other carriers you
will have built-in wifi calling as an option when using the Tmobile roms.
Other than that you will not notice much of any difference at all.
Good Luck!
I bought a new SS S3 and ordered it for Tmobil network, but instead recieved a ATT phone...
SGH-I747
Everything works fine, and its not unlocked that I know of, but the whole reason I bought the phone was to use the wifi calling option of T-mobil, this att phone doesnt have that option.
Am I screwed? Should I send it back for a t-mobil phone or is there a simple way to update this phone to T-mobil and get the option of wifi calling from T-mobil.?

Hey robomas1. Would you be interested in trading your AT&T s3 for a brand new T-Mobile s3? I have a similar situation as yourself and got a T-Mobile version galaxy s3 but I wanted an AT&T phone as that's what carrier I use.
Let me know. Thanks.

When you are flashing any custom roms after you get your Tmobile sim chip you should flash the
Tmobile Touchwiz Jellybean 4.1.2 custom roms for the very best results.
If you do flash an AT&T cwm/twrp flashable custom rom you will find that even though the phone will
work fine you will loose the free Wifi calling feature in the phone if it's not flashed with a tmobile rom.
Flashing the official Odin flash Tmobile firmware on an AT&T phone even if it's unlocked and rooted will
cause the phone not to be able to make or receive any phone calls.
The reason for this is that all the official Tmobile Samsung Odin flash firmware contain a modem/radio image which
is not compatible with an AT&T phone even if it's unlocked and rooted but none of the Tmobile or AT&T CWM/TWRP
flashable stock or custom roms contain the modem/radio image file which means you can flash them without any issues.
Good luck!

As far as just joining to trade phones, I am genuine. I read the forums regularly and finally joined. This forum helped me to unlock my T-Mobile galaxy s3. However, using the tmobile phone, I can't run the update, as the unlock does not hold after and my AT&T sim no longer works.
That's my reasoning for wanting to trade for an AT&T galaxy s3.

Just curious, what do you mean the unlock doesn't hold? Once unlocked it should remain so whether you flash a rom, firmware, mod, etc.

Well I had to flash back to stock rom to unlock the phone. I have avoided running the network update, guess was afraid that it wouldn't work. I really didn't want to have to flash it again and have to unlock it and be back where I started. So it should be fine to update, should cause no issues amd run fine with AT&T sim still?
Thats what you're saying right?
Thanks for info.
As I understand it, that is correct. Once its unlocked, you can Odin flash firmware, recovery flash roms, flash modems, etc.
If it helps, Ive never seen a single thread or question where someone was relocked.

Alright. I will go ahead and run the network update then. The notification doesn't go away. It is annoying!
Haha. I'll post back. I'd rather not have to trade if it works fine. Other than the annoying notification, the phone operates wonderfully.
If i flash the tmobile s3 rom on my att s3 will i get the 1700mhz band? I thought an att s3 on tmobile will only get 2g/edge service. Please let me know if someone knows.
Thanks A Lot,

Hi
So long story short, my Tmo GS3 got stolen at my work :/
So my mom gave me her ATT GS3 cus she was up for an upgrade,
i been reading its possible to get 4G on an ATT GS3 but so far no luck,
i know i have the right APN cus i copied the one from my Nex4 to my GS3, i set the network to manual and choose Tmo, but still all i get is Edge.
Does it have to do something with the way i unlocked the phone?
I been reading it has to be factory unlock and i unlocked mine by dialing *#197328640# and doing the required steps.
Can anyone help me with this?
Maybe you should try posting in the ATT S3 forums? I'm pretty sure that most people here have the TMO variant, while you are looking for tweaking of the ATT variant.

Don't flash a T-Mobile modem, it will brick. T-Mobile and AT&T use different frequencies for hspa+ in most places, and the AT&T version doesn't have the hardware to pick up the most used T-Mobile frequency I believe. So you're probably stuck with edge

You ARE stuck on edge.... I know it sucks. unless you are in a refarming area http://www.airportal.de/ , (major cities) your AT&T S3 1900/2100Mhz high speed data (4G) band will not work on T-Mobile's 1700/2100Mhz networks. I would sell it on e-bay or craigslist and got your T-mobile S3 again. or get the T-Mobile S4 after you sell your att S3 :cyclops:
I just bought a G3 unlocked which was originally from the Rogers network. I'm using the Bell network. I was wondering if I would still be getting OTA updates when they arrive? If so, is it coming from the Rogers network or Bell? The model numbers for both phones of Rogers and Bell are the same. They both use the D852.
