I updated my SGH-T999 (T-Mobile Galaxy S3) to StockMOD ROM T999 4.3. I noticed that it is based on an AT&T version, so it has the AT&T bloatware. Has anyone found a way to add some of the T-Mobile features back into the phone (primarily Wi-Fi Calling)? I have tried restoring the Wi-Fi...

Key Lime Pie is not version 5.0. It is version 4.2.

You probably turned on "Driving Mode". Drag down the bar at the top of the phone, and see if "Driving Mode" is turned on.

Yes. Root the phone and then use "Wi-Fi Tether"

The things that I missed, when I could not get it to boot into CWM were these: 1. Make sure you uncheck the "Auto Reboot" -- you don't want it to reboot automatically after writing CWM with ODIN. 2. After you get the "PASS" in ODIN -- remove the battery (without hitting any power buttons)...

There are scanner apps. For example "Scanner Radio" app, when I click on "Near Me". Less than 25 miles away ... - My state's Public Safety - My county's Fire and EMS Dispatcher - Skywarn Amateur Repeater - My county's Police Dispatcher (and several nearby cities) - Weather Radio - Storm...

Do you mean the the current battery is at near 0% charge (battery dead) ? Or the battery usage shows all 0s ? My guess is that you meant the later. I have a SGH-T999, but I assume it is common to all Galaxy S3 phones, that the phone does beep once when the phone is at 100% charge, and a...

There is a way to test it ... but I don't have AT&T so I cannot confirm that exact settings - but here is my best guess from reading forums. If you have (LTE) APN of: Then add the following APN, and switch to it while on a Wi-Fi network that you cannot receive MMS message on. If you have...

Here is a possibility for the sporadic behavior. When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, it assigns a specific IP address, and specific DNS servers to your phone. It is possible that the name of the MMS server for AT&T does not resolve to the proper IP address on certain DNS servers -- so it...

Now that your wife knows how to do it - she might put your phone in "Driving Mode" - so she can hear who sends you texts :D

Actually - I just tested it. I did not include the access code for the link with the Android Calendar. (It made 2 separate links, one for phone # and one for access code) You might be able to click on the 2 links independently and have it work. However, It did work with Touchdown. We tend...

You might be able to put the phone number with pauses, and access code in the description/title of the meeting. For your example add: "8775782321,,,,,,23456#" to the description of the meeting. If the pause it too long or too short, you can change the pause by adding or removing commas...

ODIN is similar to Kies, in that it is software the write the firmware to the phone via USB cable. The ODIN software is contained in the zip file. If you are not comfortable with it - then, AT&T replacement could be your best option. In my case, it wasn't an option for me because I was...

When I unlocked mine, I just got a SIM from eBay for 99 cents with free shipping for one of those prepaid carriers. But make sure it is a carrier that does not use the AT&T network. In my case, I have T-Mobile S3, so the H2O SIM worked fine. Also, don't forget the S3 has a micro SIM.

I have found that Juice Defender has helped my battery life significantly.
