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

Sounds like a plan to me. I will definitely start working on it.

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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
