Been confirmed. Do not use i9300 method or you will have issues
So I recently had a friend tell me his s3 hasnt been doing very well for him speed and service wise(he has sprint) and I did some digging around on google and some forums to try to help him out.. and the more I researched the more I saw posts about all the issues with the s3... problems with it charging to horrible battery and reception to other things I can't remember now.. and Im here thinking to my self.. man I LOVE THIS DEVICE. On full stock rooted I really have no issues.. my battery lasts reception is ok for me in Miami.. not the best but certainly not bad. I really dont have any problems that would make me want to return the phone. Im curious to know how other users feel about this beast and what some of your experiences are... tips and general experiences are welcome..
Lets hear it

Amazing device I'm runnning stock no problem but rooted with a custom kernel ! It's DOPE! Your friend obviously hasn't had a single-core phone or a blackberry! (jokes) loool!
Is that a serious question
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think i agree with your friend. The Sprint's S3 does suck. My uncle has a Sprint S3 and it is a bit laggy compared to mine...so maybe its not the phone itself, but the network carrier. So radio/baseband has to be culprit for everything thats weighing the phone down.
I also had the s2 international version that worked flawless (and I flashed the hell out of that thing) but my sprint buddies all had complaints..
I forgot to mention in OP that some of the bad reviews I read also included our tmobile model.. but I am incredibly happy with mine.

I had virgin mobile(Sprint owned prepaid) and service was good in terms of making a call, but data speeds were inconsistent at best. I also had numerous problems with text not going through. I would expect sprint to have at least some of these problems

I too love my T-MO GS3, by far the best Android phone I have ever owned. I live in Miami and I get regular speeds of 15mps to 18mps. I have rooted, flashed, themed(international forums) and this phone has given me no problems what so ever.
And remember, most people who have no problens with the phone aren't going to post about it online. Its much easier to find out what went wrong for people because they always come online loking for help!
That silent majority is, I imagine, quite massive considering the millions of these phones that have been sold! That's a lot of happy people going about their lives without ever needing to seach for help!

I really have no issue with the S3 on t-mobile. This is the first Android phone I have with great battery, fast, lot of available memory for the apps to fly,... Great reception and I think I pick up 4G at some places that would be on Edge or 3G when using the S2 or Sensation.

So you change ROMS during the week/weekend? I never thought of doing that - I guess Titanium helps? Sorry. I'm still a slight N00b. I just rooted but am keeping it stock for now. I just Dl'd Titanium but am confused on how to use it. Guess that's for another thread lol.
Is there a way to make sure titanium doesn't restore bad backup data? (I don't use it for this reason. Wanna make sure my ROM stays clean)
The battery lasts all day for the most part. Its so snappy. Love it too!

Ehh all the leaks were exactly the iphone they were releasing. Maybe they'll change the design in 2 years, after the iphone 5s.. At least Samsung had revolutionary features, and make the phone more human friendly, and they even change the design from year to year.
Apple is slowly, but surely going to be defeated soon.

yea... i was watching the latter part of it. New Panorama Feature?!?!? OMG, like... Android has had that for how long now? Wow... 1080p recording? You mean because your screen can actually support it now? Holy sh*t! You don't need a cable for stuff now? Wow... Apple is really moving up in the world
The only sad part is that i've become more well aware that the only iPhones worth upgrading to, for those who actually USE iPhones, are the non-revised ones like the 4S. This one seems like quite a nice step up from the iPhone 4... whereas the 4S was just Siri. They're just completely underwhelming, and i can't help but laugh every time i see them tout something as if it's a completely revolutionary idea, yet has existed on other phones for months/years.
The thing i had to laugh at the most...... "Sapphire crystal lens cover". Really? Why?

Officially I don't think this phone is getting past ICS. I have high doubts about an official TW JB update for it. Only the international GSII has been officially confirmed. As we all know that phone and every other GSII has the exynos SoC so I wouldn't doubt the others can get it easily. But since we have the s3.. idk.

And I just wanna state that it's obvious that Google is listening to what people want and trying to add it to software updates! We have all been talking about how nice it would be if we had a choice of AOSP or OEM.. And voila! Google goes ahead and appears to be implementing it!.. This is totally opposite of other mobile operating systems (not naming names) that always hold back the features... This is why I will probably stay loyal to android for a long time!

For what its worth of you look at the battery stats it looks like android os is killing alot of battery which is an ice cream sandwich bug. Dont know if it actually does kill as much as it states but. it could indicate something isnt allowing the phone to sleep properly. Hoping an os update will squeeze some more juicr outta this thing also hopng itll kill the overheating issue but well see

Sup people, Im Brian D, just got this phone Wednesday. Came from a HTC Evo4G that was way overdue for upgrade. I absolutely love this phone so far. As stated, the only thing that's not excellent, is the camera, which is decent...but far from awesome.
As far as speed, the phone seems like it knows what I'm gonna do before I even do it...it's so fast it's just crazy. I rooted on the first day, tweeked it a lil bit and did a quadrant test just out of curiosity and got this 7736...mind BLOWN! That is unreal, especially when the max I ever got outta my Evo was around 1200.
Also, my battery life has been excellent so far. Don't know what some of you guys are having issues with. On Eco-mode, and with moderate use aka not TRYING to burn my battery, here is where I am now...with battery left to spare. Overall, I'm loving this phone. It was between the Samsung GS3 and this phone for my upgrade and went with this because of future potential. I'm sure the bootloader will be unlocked soon...too many smart people out there are already trying to make it happen. And once it is unlocked...imagine the possibilities with this monsterous piece of hardware!!

Hey guys,
I am on the Sprint Employee plan (the wireless advantage club) and I want to get this phone and have an upgrade but it won't let me purchase. They say my account isn't allowed to get it yet. But I see that you guys are actual employees and have it. Did you buy it unlocked or something? Thanks.
I'm Tony from Ohio. I've been a lurker here for a few years now. This is only my second Android smartphone and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to see the bootloader unlocked and a big thanks to everyone working towards it!
To the sprint employees. Maybe yall can answer. Is sprint blocking Google wallet or is wallet not going to be compatible with LGOG

To be honest that means somebody on your plan has an outstanding balance or balance that needs to be paid, I had prob 10 people at one point and no one paid there bills on time , some people didn't understand how the program worked and way over spent it was just a nightmare, so now its me and the wife that's it. I got mine through my outside account and then swapped it on to my line NP as I wasn't able to upgrade but it says it is available through swac accounts. Did the person that your under order it for you or send you the swac link to shop or are you just trying to upgrade on sprint.com ?

Hm, well I do have an outstanding balance for my monthly bill due on the 27th that I was going to pay this weekend. I found out today that the Employee I'm under has to order it for me so he's going to check soon. I have an upgrade, so if I pay my bill will he be able to order it for me? Some people say employees can't get it yet.
My whole story: Ordered HTC Evo 4G LTE on Nov 2. Got it a week after (hit by Sandy :/). Sense is slow and buggy and I love the hardware, hating the software. But since I still was in 14 days and I really really wanted this phone, decided to cancel. Waiting for my return kit for this phone but I need a phone to hold me over when that comes since no one would let me order the Optimus G. So basically, I have the EVO now, and I'm waiting till the G is available. I'll be returning this EVO by Thanksgiving so I really wanted the G by then. If not, I may be phoneless for a couple days since I have no previous Sprint phone as this is my first time with them. Ah well.
I appreciate the insight.
Yea even tho its a lil cheaper advantage lines become a pain in the butt , its easier and almost as cheap to just send friends a link to the referral program
