$269 for the international white and blue.
$219 for the atnt red.
Shipping can take a little while but I've bought from this place before with no complaints.

UPDATE:
I bought the screen with the frame attached. It didn't work because the frame has a placement house for the processor, and the processor changes place from american to international version.
In sum, it didn't work and I'm gonna return it and get a screen without frame. Hopefully that works

UPDATE 2:
Bought a new screen without frame.
When removing my old screen following this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70-W9JjVjg&feature=youtu.be
I noticed that my old screen had printed on it: I9300
This confirms that the screen is the same for all versions of the Galaxy S3, because otherwise it would say SGH-T999, right?

Need to remember - Only 1 meter down deep :silly:

What do you guys think about the water resistance of this phone while earphones are plugged in?
I'm not sure if it would survive a run in the rain while listening to music. But that's one thing i would like to do and also one of the reasons i bought this phone.
Sent from my LT26w using xda app-developers app

it is water "resistance" so you will screw it if you put in on water when one of those ports covers are open or even not "properly closed"! but if you use a bluetooth headset you will be still fine cuz the cover is not open anymore! and under the water i just tried to unlock the screen but it didnt work "perfect"! the screen was still working but not perfect not as good as it works out of water but when the screen is wet out of water like when u just take the phone out of water it works good!

Brave man indeed lol XD

Afik it is only ip 56 or 57...
That is a looooong way from water proof...
So keep that in mind if you really want to test it...
And have a look at a ip list to see what ip56/57 really is about...
I would like to see a ip68 phone instead...

^should be okay if the phone is not completely exposed. newer phone can be dunked in water briefly and still survive (iphone 4/ galaxy s3)

[FIX] Fix the yellowish screen tint!

Warning!!! As someone commented he was totally unaware of this problem until he used this fix and it destroyed his experience with his phone
[REQ]Any developer that could help me with something? I want to make this app matching system UI with ready filters and put it in Setting so that it will look integrated like the galaxy screen settings, that would help ppl think the screenproblem is just a soft problem and doesn't depend on hardware. Please be kind and PM me
As many have noticed, and even made some ppl crazy is the yellow tint on our screen(HTC One X, Xperia Ion, S etc).
Searching for screen filtering at play store made my day!
Then i found this app: LINK
I installed it and then made a filter with:
Red 0
Green 0
Blue 6-8
Brightness: 100%
Contrast: -0
That made me feel like replacing the whole screen!
Second thing you should do is:
Press the MENU-button and go in to Options
Autorun [YES]
Hide status bar icon [YES]
Enjoy your screen! :victory:

Hmm, these problems happened to some people i know who bought the HOX at release, or close to release. The manufaturers sent them a letter with apology and that they have the right to claim a new device if they return them.
Some had extreme color defects, others had very sesitive screens(tapping on the side would make the screen look like when tapping on a LCD TV, color disorder).
What you have is not the default yellow tint i meant, our screens if you compare to others is a bit more yellow by default, you have some kind of disorder, either you should return it for service or you should try this app: LINK

Hi dude! Ofcourse i remember! Hows it going developing? Im glad to hear from you again! And I see you have earned a nice title! Congratulations! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Yes I know the difference but this is a a discovery for me.
Thanks..
Tested the app you posted.. Great idea indeed.. But I found the little yellow tint that I have on the screen more comfortable with warm and more saturated colors than any other device.

How do I know if I have tint issues?
My screen seems beautiful?

Unfortunately, I had yellow tint issue too. Since it was a hardware problem, I waited 3 weeks for the technical service to change the entire screen.
Now I'm a happy HOX user with no screen issues

I'd always been a bit annoyed by my yellow hue - and this app works to removed it 100%
Would be nice to have a way of making this change without needing to use a separate app.

exactly.. and app causes lag too.. when enabled. i m on jellybean.

I never received one of these letters, wonder how I go about sorting this out as I have two dots at the bottom corners of the phone, I just put up with them, probably too late to do anything about it now though.

Friend, you have the right to claim a full refund or replacement in two years since you bought the phone, and you have ALL RIGHTS to get it fixed
What´s best to do:
Take your reciept and phone to your seller and describe the problems you've got, they will by force take it back and fix the problem totally for free!
If they refuse to fix the problem, then you should turn to the consumer advisors in your country as the right is by your side, but Im sure you wont have to

Great collection of Flip covers for Gpro(Note3,S4 types)

Guys found a Korean website(English) selling Different styles of flip covers for our GPro.
Although it shows images of the Flip covers on Note3 and S4 but It also says
The images shown here are different from my phone model. Does this case fit the Optimus G Pro?
Yes, absolutely and perfectly!
The images of the smartphones may differ, however the tittle is exact. We could not take a picture for each device. We thank you for your understanding.

They have written LG optimus GPro everywhere in their lengthy description , So i believe they must be modifying them for our Phone. Also they have options for different currencies . I found the price much cheaper as compared to the original LG flip cover.I am yet to order one since I am yet to get my Gpro Delivered (In shipping :laugh

The sensor for the magnet is on the left, middle part of the screen (slightly below the area adjacent to the volume rocker). If you have a decent refrigerator magnet, you can check for it. As long as the flip cover has a magnet in that area, it should work.

[Q] Similarities between D5503 and SO-02F

Hi, I have the possibility to by the Japanese version of Z1 Compact. I am wondering would it be possible to cross flash it with the D5503 ROMs, root hacks, etc? Will the mods work.
According to this page the only differences are:
- the LTE frequency bands
- no FM radio
- digital TV receiver
Considering that I don't care for any of the features above I am ready to loose them.
So has anybody played with this phone? What are differences on SW level, etc.
I know the most likely answer is "NO", but somebody might have tried it seen some other modifications, etc.
Thanks.

I can't help with your questions but dam, I'd swap out my fm radio for digital TV receiver

I will not get the Digital TV reception anyway as it is not available around the world as it was mentioned above.
One thing I will gain though is - glass back panel.
Can I live with Sony firmware, and reading Japanese sites for rooting, ROMs, etc, or can I wait and loose the glass back - this is the question

I'm not sure what I'd choose given glass or plastic. Before receiving the phone I would have chosen glass but after using the plastic it doesn't bother me in any way.

Not so fast myfriend. It has now come to light that the Z1f has plastic panel as well & had a white sheet change to clarify.
Per Xperia Blog:
Both the D5503 and M51w variants of the Xperia Z1 Compact were changed on the 6 February 2014, with the same amended wording. So, this doesn’t look like an accident to us. Sony has purposely changed the wording and therefore our conclusion is that it is pretty likely that the back is indeed made from plastic and not glass, as initially suggested.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/02/0...compact-have-a-plastic-back-instead-of-glass/
The M51w is the Japanese version. I think that all the reviewers got it wrong & were just regurgitating what was purported on the Sony site. It sucks as I sent my Z1c back & had planned on getting the Z1f. I'll have to wait & see if any solid evidence comes to light.

The M51w is "Z1 colourful" for China without LTE. Check the link I included in the first post. According to the SO-02F white paper the material of the back is a bit unclear.

Yeah. This is strange indeed. I had never even heard of the Z1 "colorful edition". I wonder if the Z1f weighs 3 grams more because of a glass back, or most likely because of the tv tuner.

Personally, I detest the DOCOMOX1 branding smack right up on the front of the thing, so I waited for the international version to be released.
