Samsung Galaxy S III

It's supposed to be around 30%. But I'll believe it when I see it. Especially on Sprint.

349.99 and everyone else is selling for 50 less.

This will be something to keep watch on.  Apparently the S3 is causing problems at least enough on US Cellular for them to offer replacements for some S3 owners.  Some speculate it could be the source of the problem in the Sprint Chicago market (which apparently is pretty bad right now all over)

Interesting. Why just Chicago?

Interesting. I've not had issues on my GS3, unless Sprint is working on the towers in my area.

Sprint has typically released the S3 updates before other carriers so I'm not sure what you mean.

Does anybody have any knowledge (or rumor) of the new release date for 4.3 for the Sprint GS3?

May take longer than we originally thought. Seems like the international version is no longer updating to 4.3 and the update may have been pulled due to various bugs and poor battery life. So sprint might be holding off too.

This may not be a bad thing.

Download the following update zip and place it on your external sd. Go to settings/security and make sure unknown sources is unchecked.

 

Shut off phone. Press volume up, power and home button at the same time. As soon as you see a flash, let go of the buttons. This will put you in stock recovery. Using the volume bar to select and power button to activate, select update from external storage. Choose the file you previously put there. Push your power button. Your update will begin.

 

This is only for those with STOCK unrooted phones with STOCK recovery.

After a couple of hours, not a bad upgrade. It was real laggy for the first couple of hours. Has settled down and seems a lot smoother then 4.1.2 because of TRIM I'm assuming.

 

Minor cosmetic changes in  certain apps and fonts. New 4g and 3g like i mentioned above. 

 

Disappointed that samsung doens't allow lockscreen widgets when you have a secured lockscreen (password/pattern/pin). Stupid. 

But I do like daydream

 

If anyone is having the persistant notification bug that shows old jpg downloads. Just do a clearall in the downloads section.

Are you noticing increased late performance? At home I usaully get anywhere from -107 dbm to -115 dbm. Now last night and this morning have had constant -99dbm to about -102.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
