Hey guys my dad surprised me today by buying a samsung galaxy s3. i have one concern and thats the phone doesnt say tmobile on the back nor samsung galaxy s3 on the back but just Samsung in silver letters behind it. i checked the model and it says in settings SGH-T999. is this still the real tmobile ssg3?
kinda looks like

Did you get it with a box?
No my dad ought it from a friend its brand new it has the sticker on it and what not, but it came with no box. got the charger and the phone.
Do you have the T-mo bloat?

His friend probably bought the gsm version if its not branded. This version is actually a little different because it has a quad core processor. The american version has a dual core processor but 2 gb of ram. You say the model number says t999 though and if that is the case then it is the tmobile version of the gs3. This model number is that of a tmobile branded phone. Maybe you just got one without branding. It is indeed real
yes i have like tmobile my account and name is and tmoible tv and hotspot
that seems odd well that it doesn't say T-Mobile in the back and then has T999 on the phone

Last check would be to check ram. If you have 1.62 gb available, then it's probably T-mo....maybe just a separately bought back cover.
Or if you have root, check your build.prop
How many sim card slots does it have? Check the version of software. Also check the app store and make sure it's not in Chinese... Lol if not you're all good.

Yeah you're good. But if you do happen to brick your phone by flashing a T-Mobile ROM when it turns out that your phone is a different variant, then it's not my fault.
okay thanks guys. last question and that is when u get a message or notifi from like whats app does ur notification LED blink or stay on?
It blinks. When it's charging or fully charged it stays on.

You even have what I think is the most recent baseband, LG1 rather than LEM!

So I have my s3 rooted in stock.all I have done is root...wanted to backup imei before flashing any roms. As I was looking at my imei and serial number and realized that my eri said not available. Is this a bad thing? Phone seems to work great and I've had no problems...but when I look online allot of people say it's a bad thing? Any advice would be appreciated.
Also when I enter dialpad # to get phoneutils I get a force close ( on stock dialer) and ideas?
Edit* or does someone have a att stock phone? Could you tell me what your eri says?

My phone that is AT&T stock 4.0.4, with the upgrade from about a month ago, says ERI, not available, and have had no issues with the phone at all. What it means I have no clue
For anyone wanting to get a stock firmware for the Canadian Note II They have finally been uploaded to the Samsung Kies servers lastnight.
For those that know how to use CheckFus to check and download firmware files off of Samsung servers here is the information.
Model: SGH-I317M
HIDSWVER: I317MVLALJ2/I317MOYAALJ2/I317MVLALJ2/I317MVLALJ2
All Canadian Galaxy Note II's are using the same firmware and Samsung Canada has decided to bundle them together in one, so there is no change in the CSC name. Everything is the same except for what CSC your actually using for your carrier and its software extras+wifi settings.
Just use the following Product Codes to get the right one for your carrier:
BMC = Bell
RWC = Rogers
TLS = Telus
VMC = Virgin Mobile
BWA = SaskTel
I see Sammobile.com has just finished processing the Rogers one and Samsung-updates.com has already processed the SaskTel one. Im sure they will have the others later on as well.
Are you sure that VMC is Virgin mobile and not videotron? I didnt know Virgin sold the Note?

Yes I'm sure VMC is Virgin, all of the product codes are short forums for the carriers
VMC is short for Virgin Mobile Canada
BMC is short for Bell Mobility Canada
RWC is short for Rogers Wireless Canada
TLS Telus
SaskTel is the only Odd man out here, with BWA , but I believe it stands for Bell Western Alliance, but its really just a shot in the dark. But I do know that SaskTel gets their phones and firmwares from Bell though so makes sence.
Videotron is VTR. and They also don't have the LTE enabled version of the Note II which is model SGH-T889V
Saweeeest finally

I've also finished making a root injected Bell rom a couple hours ago just haven't had the chance to test it yet. If all goes well then I'll do the others as well. Don't want to get anyone's hopes up though so dont hold your breath as I'm still an newbie at Andriod development stuff lol.

This is the version the phones shipped with
So if I flash this with Odin, will the status no longer be "modified", and will OTA work? I understand that I will lose root.

Hi .
When I open about device in settings on my note 2 the last item showing there is the build number. But my friends's note 2 carries a country name below the build name. What does this country denote. Does not having the country name denote anything.
Thanks in advance.
CHEERS. ....

Branding is not always used on branded phones. It is up to the carrier whether they do and how they brand a phone. I have a T-mobile Note 2 from the USA but there is no country under the build number and the case does not have any T-mobile markings. However! When it boot and shuts down there are T-mobile notices showing. Just because there is no branding does not mean it is an international phone. It could be and again it may not be.

Hi
I'm probably picking up a T889 tonight from Kijiji. It was bought through Wind apparently.
Does Wind still lock their phones, or can I just pop in my Mobilicity sim card?
If it is locked, what's the best way to get it unlocked? Anyone have good result with a particular service, or homebrew method?
Wind does still lock their phones I would suggest if it's on 4.1.1 then use the free way to unlock it but if it's on 4.1.2 the use cellunlockers.net

Hi guys, you can unlock you N7105 via the Samsung hidden menu. [Also works with N7100 and some Galaxy S3 (SIII) variants - NOT ALL]
=======================================
Before doing the instructions below, please double check your phone that it is actually LOCKED by inserting a sim card from a different carrier/provider...
Quote:
Unlock your N7105:
Note: your phone must be running at least Jelly Bean 4.1 otherwise some of the menu choices are not present
Just dial the following keys *#197328640#
Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF > (after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone... enjoy!!! There is no confirmation on the phone that the unlock was successfull.... just reboot your phone....
To test, just insert a sim card from a different carrier/provider. If the new sim card works then your phone is now unlocked.
I have done this to my other Note 2 N7105 originally locked to Orange.....
========================================
Do this procedure AT YOUR OWN RISK
========================================
To those who were able to unlock their phone with the method above, can you please post in the thread and let us know which phone model (N7100 or N7105) you have, Country and Network/Carrier your phone was locked to...... and if I have saved you some cash, please click the Thanks button or the Donate button on the left just below my name to buy me a can/bottle of Heinekken, Quilmes, Budweiser, Fosters, Tiger, Stella Artois, or San Miguel ...
========================================
I have mentioned in my old thread that there was a pop up message that says "Conditional call forwarding active" everytime I make a phone call using another SIm card that the phone was not able to use before unlocking.
I can confirm that this was due to my Sim card. It is a very old O2 sim card that I have used for years. I have tried that Sim card on another factory unlocked phone (Galaxy i8160 bought from P4u) and it had the same message.

Actually, you'll want to flash the "LTE" version that's meant for the Qualcomm radio equipped Note 2s. Not the Intel baseband HSPA-only GT-N7100.

Has anyone tried any AOKP based ROMs? If so, how are data speeds?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I've been through many Cyangenmod roms and they've been fine. Your radio should be unchanged as AOSP roms don't come with a modem so data speeds should be the same. Battery life takes a big hit though on anything not Touchwiz from personal experience.
Hey Byangmang whats your favorite ROM then? I would really like to know. Thanks
I've been through most of the popular AOSP and Touchwiz roms before settling with Jedi X as my faily driver. This rom has great battery life and solid performance, with a lot of useful customizations. Definitely recommend that one.
