I love my gs3 but the signal strength is intolerable. I want to complain and possibly get something different but I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?

I know this isn't answering your question but my signal strength has been fantastic from the HE build and beyond. Prior to that however it was horrid. You're not running an old radio by any chance are you?

@1ManWolfePack ..Dont derail the thread like the last one. If it bothers you that much just dont go in it jeez. I dont think its right if you dont have issues and just want to play the system but im not on here to teach life lessons. I agree with some of the things you said but just stay out of it.

As I understand it, they'll first start out by giving you a replacement or two to try and fix the issue. If that doesn't work, they'll offer you an alternate device as they seem to be aware of the signal issue the GS3 has; they'll probably offer a galaxy nexus, razr maxx or DNA. I heard people say the DNA fixes the signal issue.

1ManWolfePack could have reported the thread and gotten it possibly closed. He didn't and just gave a friendly reminder. Instead of thanking 1ManWolfePack he just gets *****ed at for a basic mistake OP made.
Anyway I'm reporting and hopefully a mod will clean the crap and merge things. Merry Christmas to all.

Hey everyone, I recently traded my Galaxy Nexus for the GS3 and normally, I get right down to the rooting/unlocking/flashing process, however one thing has been holding me back. The gentleman that I traded my device with worked directly for Samsung and said that the GSIII that he was giving to me, was in fact a development testing device only given out to employees. I was wondering if there is a way to verify this as I know that this could be a potential gateway to future discoveries if this is in fact the case. If any of you have thoughts on this then please share. I've been itching to scratch this flashing bug of mine -_-

This is what a test phone from HTC looks like.
If this person's claims are true, you should go to the IRC and chat with the devs there.
They could possibly find useful information before you get to using your device as normal- again, assuming this is true.
Yeah I think I'll do that. Will keep you guys posted if anything interesting comes from this

He will give away his nexus to someone who donated at random if he receives enough for a gs3. If not, he will refund all the donations. Seems like a pretty sweet deal to get official aokp.

Stop acting like a bunch of steretypical dumbass internet trolls. This site use to be actually composed and mature, I don't know what happened to that.

The same people who are pissing on this thread, are people who I never saw in Seanz's thread when his ROMs were active. I am quite happy that he's back. I moved to Majicks jb and Xperiance roms because they reminded me of sky with their stability and fluidity. I am happy that he's back and can't wait to see what he brings us next. The only reason I left sky is because I got bored and wanted to try something new with jb.

I'd wait. I think the phone looks awesome, but I'd wait and see how the development goes before getting to excited. If you can't even unload the garbage Verizon is going to no doubt put on it (coupled with the garbage HTC will put on it), then what's the point?

If your gonna get rid of unlimited let me know. I don't know how it works but I read that people were transferring their accounts to other people so they could have unlimited data. I'd even pay u for it. Just a suggestion.

90% of the time my phone sits on my work desk and I use it as a hotspot to surf pr0n Plus I've read some early impressions where the phone lasts longer then the GSIII.
Its actually easy. I took two unlimited data lines went I left att for verizon from an ad on craigslist. The owner of the lines calls verizon to release assumption of liability to the new persons name. The new person calls in and they already have it notated it takes about 10 minutes total. That's the best thing I ever did now I actually feel that I get my moneys worth for service

I think they battery life is going to be just fine. A quad core is more efficient than a dual core so we'll see. I'm pretty confident saying it'll last me long enough, I only need it to last from 8am to 10pm. Any phone can do that.
