Samsung Galaxy S3 Update details - Android General

Hi all,
I'm new to the site so please excuse my potential ignorance if this has been previously answered or if I missed anything.
So, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305. It was originally on T-Mobile UK burnish completely unbranded so on startup doesn't show t-mobile, no network bloatware etc... and I have since had it unlocked (via unlock code, not root)
Waiting for the premium suite update has prompted me to wonder... as I am unlocked am I still governed by t-mobiles wait times (I actually use a voda SIM in it)? Or as its unlocked/unbranded should I effectively be at the front of the queue as it were? Or will I not get it at all ss I'm not using a t-mobile SIM?
I'm becoming very impatient waiting for the update as got rid of my note ii in anticipation for the s3 receiving the update.
I am on the cusp of rooting just so that I can add the premium suite on the Rom but have limited experience in rooting (only done it a couple of times) worried that I'll miss something and wont be able to return it to stock once the upgrade becomes available via kies as there are so many different guides/roms/software
Appreciate your thoughts and feedback.

What are the specs of the galaxy S4? Is it better than the Galaxy Note 2?

No offense but your friend is full of baloney
When the S3 was being worked on, a man wouldn't tell his his wife or his kids what the S3 would be like in fear of losing his job
In addition, samsung probably does all their designing of their flagships at HQ, which is korea. They also only have their top workers, and even then they made 3 galaxy S3s so that no worker would know if they were making the reall S3 or not.
Also, with many companies not even rolling out 4G LTE yet (which is pretty much 5G anyway), there is no way 5G is coming out anytime soon

It is already being produced which is why he has all the specs.

No. First of all, you don't live in Korea where it would be designed.
Second, since it is being released next year, they want a CPU of that generation which is not yet available, so we can't know the specs.
Third, he wouldd probably have lost his job by now since you have just told the world about it.
Fourth, any work on Samsung's flagships would be in a secret room guarded by secret people in a secret file, NOT on his computer where it could easily be hacked.
Just face it, your friend is just BSing you or trying to impress you.

He does work in korea as i said he was home for the week.
And nope things get leaked alot of time on purpose toget hype.
And they do not know who my friend is he could be one of 300 people with this info.

Why can you not accept the fact that it is not true?
All big Samsung employees LIVE in Korea. That IS their home.
And if you knew anything about Samsung, they do NOT try to leak things. I even told you, to protect the secret of the Galaxy S3, they made 3 DIFFERENT models, and the designers thought they were making the real version when really it was one of the other 2 models. The Galaxy S3 had NO leaks because of this secrecy.
300 people? More like 30 in TOTAL. With 10 working on each phone, 20 are working on a fake phone, and 10 working on the real one. Once again, they don't know which is real or not.
And I'm going to smack the claim of 5G off too, because they don't llist specs as "4G LTE" or "5G." They would say the bands, like 900/1700/2100 MHz (that was an example).
Still don't believe me? Here's an article about Samsung regarding their S3, and how they kept it a secret.

Bigger screen? Honestly, you are being bsed and you are too stupid to admit it. 5G is technically 4g lte as he said, and the idea of a bigger screen is bogus.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I think this is hands down one of the stupidest threads I've ever seen. There isn't going to be a 5g, because 4g itself hardly exists on most carriers. And there's no way in hell it'll have a bigger screen than the note 2.

And you still have no logical argument as to why it would actually be the real S4.
Plus, I like Samsung and I'm excited for their next flagship. Just not an obvious fake. I'm not even blaming you, I'm saying your friend is baloney.

If he lives in korea, how come he comes "home" twice a year?
And Samsung would NEVER release details of the S4. They kept the S3 such a secret, if you read my article a few posts back.
And you still haven't come up with a reason why my points are invalid. All you said was he works for Samsung... well I work for Motorola and they're releasing the Motorola Atrix Bionic Droid RAZR 5G LTE GSM unlocked. Just because he works for Samsung does not mean he will know about the S4, like I know about the ABDR5GLTE

Read through my points and give me a logical reason why they are false.

Well AT&T figures if you're dumb enough to pay to be on their network you're probably also dumb enough to believe that too....
If you are/were an AT&T customer I mean no offense, I'm just not a fan
I think those commercials are for the iPhone 5. I believe it has something to do with the Verizon iPhone not being able to do it.

[Q] Can I use my verizon contact phone as a donor for ppc and still us the phone

Hi, I flashed my mom's galaxy s3 to page plus but only 1x data. I have my own galaxy s3 on contact and I was wondering can I use it as the donor and still use it as my phone. Or would it be illegal cloning. I'd like to know as fast as possible. Both phones are verizon.

Ok, I don't think you would be able to. I would get another device to do it. I used the i500.
From what I understand the secret keys are very specific to the device and not general

Switching phones with someone else.

My dad is due for an upgrade and is thinking of getting the s4. He doesnt really know how to use anything from a technology standpoint so he is willing to let me have it and he'll take my s3. My question is do I need to be completely stock to switch phone numbers etc...? Thanks for any help.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Nah, just put your sim card in the S4 and his in the S3.

If you put yours in the S4 then the S4 will be active with your phone number. Your dad will have to get his SIM card activated to use on your S3
