Hi,
To all the dev:
As we all know,there is 2 derivative of One S.S3 1.7ghz vs S4 1.5ghz.
As far as Custom ROM,is the ROM same for both platform??(EG:ROM for S4 flash into S3 and vice versa)??
The answer to this question will be one of the main deciding factor
Unfortunately,my region's One S come with S3 i think
From what i have read on this forums various threads, few people have said that it should work on both, though i haven't tested it yet myself because i am happy with stock at the moment.
My country has S3 as well and i have to say that it's a cracking phone, works like a charm.
Oh and greetings to everyone, this is my first forum post although i have been lurking in these forums for a while now!
So any input from developer??
I'm No developer soo anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
My guess is that there will be no issue regarding roms except for the kernel, assuming both models (S3 and S4) have the same partition tables. Since kernel is the one that controls hardware you'll have to flash your corresponding kernel .
Isn't the screen resolution different as well? (720HD on S3 vs. QHD on S4)
Apparently not :

Hi, I'm currently using a ZTE U960 which is the only one smartphone dual sim full active I've found.
Do you know about other dual sim full active smartphone ?
Cheers.

Thanx for your answer!
I've never fully understand why major brand don't want to sell DSFA phone...
I'm quite happy with my ZTE u960 but I would like to know if there are other alternatives...
I bought a HTC One S from a guy unlocked out here in Ottawa, Canada. I am using it right now on the Mobilicity network.
I am wondering how do I find out the exact model I have, so I know what ROMs etc I can actually use. S4, S3 etc...
Yes, I searched.

First of all. Wrong section, but it will be moved by a mod i guess...
Second, its a very often asked question, pls try using the search button here..
Third, use the app android system info - can be found in market. Check the CPU speed - 1700 is the S3- C2 model - 1500 is the S4 Snapdragon (better )model
have a nice day

I guess, as all other Korean version of Samsung phones, this phone has problem with SMS more than 70 chars and multipart SMS?
Also, this phone comes with two lame colors making it out of my interest
I'm waiting for I9506 with traditional black color. Well, kind of black, but anyway better than blue or red.
The latest firmware solve the issue. I have tried no issue for me,,,

This is not an issue. This is the standard for Korean mobile network operators. Nothing to fix there. Probably, you didn't understand what i meant.
Can you send SMS with, let's say 300 characters? both latin and non-latin symbols?
Thanks for the info... I know what u mean after 160 character, it should split into two SMS.
I have tried for more than 300 character, it will sent as MMS.

May be it's possible to fix it using some parts from I9506 firmware if E330S doesn't have too much hardware differences in modem connections.
Actually, I'm very familiar with this problem because I've used SHV-E210K for more than a year. I've succeed to use whole I9300 firmware with some framework patch and few libraries from E210 firmware. But since it's very tricky and not exactly will work for E330S, I'm not confident to buy this phone, although I can buy it here in Taiwan without much hassle and for a good price.
I still hope I9506 will widely spread later this year, so i don't have to mess with Korean firmware anymore
Well actually I dun use SMS that often now... it is really useless to me.... everyone is in watsapp and other application for chatting.
I hope someone could solve the video calls and update of software still prompting required of SKT SIM and ROAMING not allowed.
the mcc and mnc is hardcoded into the firmware.

Yeah, there are lot of SKT (in my case it was KT) things are hardcoded in firmware(framework) of Korean version. That's why I've decided to move to I9300 firmware with patches instead of trying to patch E210K firmware.
I agree that SMS is not as important as it was before, but still in some cases you cannot replace it by whatsapp or other internet messengers. Still many people i know don't use mobile data plans. So, SMS is the only way to send the message to these people. The problem with SMS even worse when your communicate in non-english language where you limited by only 70 unicode characters. For example, in Russian language with its usually long words is really hard to fit sentences into 70 characters
Hi guys

The above link is how I use to root my SHV-330S
I'm curious if dimensions of E330S are exactly as I9500/I9505?
My E210K is a little thicker than I9300 making almost all hard cases incompatible.
Also, curious if back cover and its hooks of E330 is compatible with I9500/I9505? I know about antenna corner cut (which is easy to make), but besides this back cover of E210 has completely different hook positions than I9300 making covers completely incompatible.
I have some kind of itching I want SD800 version, but don't wanna wait for I9506. But having experience with complete absence of accessories for SGS3 SHV-E210, i don't want to loose accessories again.

Hello,
Im using the S-view Flipcover with my e330s. The only thing I did was the "corner cut". It fits well.

Do you wanna say that you bought flip cover for I9505, cut the corner and cover sits as genuine E330 cover?

Exactly.
By the way I'm happy that I bought the e330s. Speed, 32gb, charger and second battery are worth the trouble to impoprt it from Korea. All is as I hoped it would be. The only drawback is that I didn't figure out how i get NFC working.
My nfc is ok

My I9500 came with 32GB, second battery and charger as well. The only difference for me will be Snapdragon vs Exynos. I hate the way Samsung did by splitting market to two incompatible devices. Although Exynos is very competitive comparing to SD600, game developers don't bother to tweak their games to Exynos version.
While Exynos is more interesting by CPU (i wanna wait to see if 5410 will get HMP support or not) and better sound, i want to have well supported device, i.e. SD version. Although i don't care of CM/AOSP/GE ROMS.
Well, going to order E330S in Black Mist color. I've found such version!
SD800 is pretty insane in term of performance... u wun get any phone that is purely make in korean, even for the battery.

Hi all, would appreciate if anyone can give me recommendations for a dual sim android phone.
Here are the main things I care about, more or less in order of importance:
1. Great battery life (or ok battery life with removable battery and spare battery readily available to buy)
2. Powerful/fast - lots of memory, fast processor, preferably up-to-date android OS
3. Pre-loaded with android play store and upgradeable (if I understand correctly some of the Chinese dual sim phones have issues here)
4. Decent camera & resolution
That's about it, not asking for much then
I care less about weight, thickness, screen size (although less than 4" would be a pain), funky features & bloatware etc.
I've looked at a few choices like samsung galaxy grand 2, huawei g700, htc one dual sim, but reviews seem mixed and most seem to do badly in one or more of the above.
My only experience with dual sim was the samsung galaxy grand 1, and I didn't like it because I thought the battery life was pretty bad, underpowered and screen quality surprisingly awful.
If you know of any phones that fit the bill or you're using one that you think would be good please let me know.
Thanks!
Hmm, maybe what I'm after doesn't exist.
If anyone is using a dual sim android phone please let me know your experience so I can make some choice.
Anyone using the samsung grand 2? If that's like the one with better battery life and runs smoothly might go for that
The Best SmartFone available in Its Range is Gionee Elife E6.
You can have a try at that..!
Thanks, I'll check it out

You could consider galaxy S5, or S4, or HTC Desire 816, I wouldn't recommend a no name brand even thought it might seem a deal price - specifications, notice how all got 4.2.2 Android and will probably stay that way for good, too many compromises, I know from experience..
Purchase the Videocon A24... Thats a superb phone for you.. And also for me
