[Q] Battery Replacement - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I have a S3 (i747m) running cm13 nightlies. My battery has starting getting horrible lifespan. Are the S3 model from the US and Canada essentially the same thing? I would think so as I Was able to install cm13 properly using the at&t version (the US model).
Also, I've been poking around and I would like to your suggestions on batteries that would work well for my phone that are more than 2100mAh.
Thanks,
TechGuyAnthony

Verizon GSIII on US GSM bands?

Friend gave me a Verizon Galaxy SIII to play with, I have T-Mobile. Has anyone played with this yet? I know it was possible with the Droid Bionic and my old standby Droid 2 Global, so I'm wondering if it's a similar deal here, where every source in the world says it doesn't work and then someone gets it to work. I'm kinda wondering why no one seems to have tried yet...

Hi. It working with T-Mobile. You need to install PhoneInfo for switching phone in GSM-mode. But You can't 3G/HSPA+/EDGE/GPRS on GSM. sorry. yet...
Did you ever get this to work? I have a bionic also and would like to put that on straight talk or go network as art has much better coverage here.

[Q] AT&T to VZW

First of all, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum or if it has been asked somewhere already, but I was not able to find it anywhere though Google and searching through this site.
Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to fully and effectively unlock a AT&T S3 to use on the VZW network. I know vzw has a secured cdma network that only allows approved devices but with all the great devs out there, is there some wah to do it? Thanks for any input !

I don't think you can do that as Verizon uses different lte bands and two its cdma network even tho it uses a sim! I could be wrong but I know it can only work the other way round but thats only on 3G tho

I have the same problem except the other way around...I want to convert a Verizon one to att. I already flashed a AT&T rom and have working voice and data, but only 2g which is so slow, I don't even remember how I lived with it. I'm thinking of just buying a motherboard from the att one and sticking it in my Verizon one. Does anyone know if the motherboard has the part I need for the radios, or is the radio separate?
Sounds easier to try to do a trade on Craigslist or something.

I've also running on EDGE connection, which is horrid, but livable. Due to thaat I'm running a T-Mobile network on a Verizon S3.

Signal issues

Hey, recently my moto g has not been getting signal in places that my old phone did (a s3 mini). I checked the bands and they are the same as my s3 mini. I tried reflashing the radio to no gain. Im on the UK network Three. I think i will probably have to flash a custom kernel. Im rooted with various xposed modules installed, with lots of experience with android (5 phones 2 tablets) and I have never had anything like this! Hell please!
Thanks in advance, Neo

Can I switch SM-P907A (AT&T) to SM-P900 (WiFi) and use other roms?

I ordered an Note Pro 12.2 WiFi on eBay, got an insanely good deal, but when it showed up, it was the AT&T version. I got such a good deal on it that I don't want to return it simply because it's not the WiFi version, and it has a better CPU to boot.
My question... I'm rooted on Kitkat (4.4.2) And I've searched everywhere for roms for it but they don't exist. Does anyone know what would happen if I tried to install a P900 WiFi TWRP recovery on it, and also install P900 roms on it? I'm with Verizon so I don't care about the cell radio features, and the AT&T "no service" issues are really annoying.
If anyone has tried this, or knows if it would work I'd love to hear about it. I haven't had the best of luck fixing bricked devices, and I definitely don't wanna brick this one.
Thanks!
You can't. It will fail. Locked boot loader.

Different processors so no P900 Rom is ever going to work on it.
Best bet is to wait for root and uninstall AT&T crap.

Gear S2-3G Software Update

I've read that there was an update to the software for the gear s2. Was there an update to the gear s2 3g? I specifically have a verizon version of the 3g and i have not received any recent updates to the watch (i believe there was one a while back, but I do not have the latest updates that have been discussed for the classic and bluetooth sport versions of this watch.
Thank you!
I, too, am waiting for an update for my AT&T S2 3G. Because ours are carrier-specific, it seems to take longer for the updates, just like for carrier-branded phones. ?

I figured... though i don't see anything verizon specific on my watch the way I do on my phone.
I had one yesterday for my ATT one. It finally gives Numbersync as well as some battery enhancement and something else I forget. I was super happy to finally have Numbersync though. That completed this watch for me. (Well, that and then when Samsung pay works with the watch.)

Yes, I got that one too. But it's different from the one the other S2 models received. Their update gives more Setting options which I want on my S2 3G as well such as screen timeout.
