You could just call them and say you're going to China and you need your phone.

You could do that and wait a few hours/days for them to send it, or you could use this method and have it done in seconds!

multi tasking on the us variant gs3

so im still shocked about this whole note 2 update that hasnt found its way into the galaxy s3 tmobile version yet, i just saw that now sprint has the update and even modded the multi tasking with a transparent multi tasking mod..sprint?? they were like the last ones to get the gs3 on board, tmobile was the first??i am in complete awe of this and was wondering if anyone had any insight on the matter, it cant be possible that now, the gs3 international version, the galaxy s2 and just recently the american sprint version has all the goodies and we're not even close, i really am speechless, any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for your contribution, you've done wonders for my phone

I have the sprint gs3 and we waiting for the premium suite update like everyone else only the note 2 and the international gs3 got it so far be patient . It will be very rare and weird to use two apps at once productively so enjoy what you have now.

Back to OP , does anyone knows if sprint variant got update ? Or when they are getting ??

Wow. Is that really what it comes down to? I've said it before. Just because you donated x amount does not give you any privileges to treat others that way. Or make you better than someone who hasn't. A donation is a donation not buying yourself into a certain group of elite users. What are you guys , five?

Elnovato when you got your phone back was it the same one or a different one that was a refurbished?
I'm curious because I need to send mine in for the battery as it's mildly warped and causes the phone to reboot when jostled, but it's lame as Samsung wants me to send the whole phone in rather then just the battery. I don't want to if they give a refurbished one back.

It was the same phone, though I had to set eveything back up as the devised was flashed with the new software.

Thank you.
Can't wait to get mine back from Samsung repair center to hopefully see the same update if not a newer one!.
If it comes loaded with a December 4.1.2 firmware I will be doing a system dump on it for sure!. ^_^
Oh btw how long was it until you got it back in the mail? The tech guy on the phone said I will be it back in 2 weeks tops, I hope sooner though I miss my Note II so bad!. However I'm using an S2 as a back up lol.

Hey does anyone know of a good method to unlock the Galaxy s3. My wife is abroad and I need to get her phone unlocked so she can use a sim card, according to Tmobile they can longer do it because of a federal law. Any help Thanks

I think the difference (and it's subtle) is that he's asking about flashing Sprint Roms once he's flashed his phone to Cricket, not the actual process of flashing to Cricket.
If he were asking fora guide to flash to Cricket, then yes, I'd say that this thread would be against XDA rules.
nothing illegal about flashing to cricket at all as cricket accepts foreign ESN's. So no need do clone change or do anything else to your MEID which is illegal
Has anyone on here flashed a GSIII to Cricket yet and if so are you in an LTE area? I have a GSIII that I am not using and would like to use for business only and want maybe use it on Cricket. I dont really want to pay Sprint $30 more bucks plus taxes to add it to my current account when I still have no LTE coverage.
ive got a flashed s3 no lte however because the cricket s3 uses a sim for LTE like verizon model does.

Try telling them you will be traveling internationally to a specific country for several months for business or school (I like New Zealand ) and would like to use a local carrier's service with your phone while there. They might grant you an exception. If you are on contact those terms will still apply. Good luck. :thumbup:
Edit .. Or you can use the unlock method noted above... That worked for me

You only need to flash the older modem (from same model phone), then flash back current modem. Search this forum.. You will find cwm packages for this.

No & no. All you need to do is downgrade your modem perform the unlock. Then reboot, then re-flash the latest modem back on the device!
Here's the first AT&T modem release:

I'm give you the first release. But you'll have to do some homework and find the newest modem. To flash back on your device.
