GT-I9300 users thread :)

Did you ever get 50Mbits LTE coverage to notice a real difference in surfing between the 2 phones? From 12Mbits to 8Mbits you dont really notice any difference, of course...What about battery, does the international version last much longer because its only 3G instead of 4G? What I do in all my phones is disconnect the 3G, only beeing in 2G, except when I want to to go to internet....this way my batteries last 3 times more. I did not yet get my S3 (my company also ordered it but Vodafone is taking a lot of time to send it, grrrr!) so I dont really know the Android OS yet, is it possible to put a shortcut in the home screen, so we can change from GSM to HSPA very quickly?

Regarding Quad-Core AND 2Gb of ram (along with LTE support) there is a SHV-E210K Korean Version of the S3 that has it all, check it out: Samsung SHV-E210K Galaxy S3 LTE Specs | Technical Datasheet | PDAdb.net

By the way, it looks like Jelly Bean (with the much expected "Project Butter" and "Google Now" ) is finally coming to the Galaxy S3 in just a couple of days (29th August):
Official Jelly Bean ROM for Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 leaks - GSMArena.com news
Alleged Samsung N7100 Galaxy Note II official photo surfaces - GSMArena.com news (see last paragraph)

I wonder if only the unlocked version will get it then and if the carriers versions will take much longer to get it...I am surely looking for that project butter thing: 60fps animations looks tasty

Cheers

Well I've only had it for about a day so in terms of battery I really need more time with it to tell the difference..

I'm sure us sim free GT i9300 users will get the OTAs faster than our friends with carrier phones..

Thanks for the good info though!!

One more reason to love the gt i9300

FM radio.. the us counterparts don't have a stock FM radio app.. it doesn't stream so no data and no extraneous battery drain. Brilliant!!!

Is there a development forum for the international s3? I can see them for the American versions but not for the international one. Am I just being blind?

Yea that was my reason for coming over here as well as being on xda , plus I have years experience with android now right up to making my own ROMs and apps so wanted to help people out but a lot of people are to scared to post on xda in case they get called a noob .Where as there seems to be a nice atmosphere over here.

That being said xda makes no bones about the fact that it is there for the developers first and some people just expect to be spoon feed without reading Or do any of the effort of looking for the answer themselves first. So sometimes it is deserved

I'm in the US running the I9300 on ATT. I'm getting my OTA updates.

 

[funkylogik]

hi and welcome Alex and Playa :]

 

[funkylogik]

Alex what do you think of Julian Assanage man?

 

[alexcolka]

Wow! A big question... well i hope for a diplomat end that satisfies both ecuadorian and british goverments you know our president correa wants to protect assange saying we protect freedom of speech and not so long ago he personally prosecuted our main newspaper so hmmm... wth is going on here? Remember that next year are the elections and this is also political capital for correa. There are many theories about the real motivation for this that are far from just the extraditing of assange to sweden that are very interesting as well so in the end i think is another show to cover other things... remember please it's just a though.

yeah im a big fan of Assange and the british government are an embaressment. they know full well that if he's extradited to sweden, theyl extradite him to the US where he could even face the death sentence.... just for telling people what the US tax-payers money gets wasted on
i applaud and respect Ecuador and Correa
the trouble is theres no way to fly Julien to Ecuador. a helecopter would be shot down.
the Brits have the legal power to storm the embasy and i really hope they never commit such a disgusting measure.
respect man
p.s, i consider myself a Scottish European.. NOT a Brit lol

 

[funkylogik]

....i understand what you mean about correa btw. could all just be propaganda
