[Q] new to s3 fourms and want to find right place for info - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Upon reading the sticky for american and Canadian users I clicked the link for sprint and it say there are no posts. Am I doing something wrong or has the sprint s3 fourms been moved. Loving everything I'm seeing thus far and can't wait to dig in. Thank you

there's one thing thats more annoying than someone posting a question in the wrong section or someone not searching....and thats when I see so many replies to a thread all saying the same thing:
'wrong section'
'why post here'
'this is not the right section for this'
yes people, we get it! He posted in the wrong section. Please dont reply with something that everyone else already said ahead of you. Just report the thread and let the mods take care of it
[/off topic rant]
[back on topic]
I'm not familiar with the development aspect of modems but just an observation--If the modem is developed for another device then, to me, common sense says it wasnt designed to be used on our phones which is why some things work and others dont. Maybe the signal is different in the US versus International, which is why the voice doesnt work. Who knows...but the bottom line is that we'll need to use the i777 modems.
out of curiosity, why would you want to use the int'l modems, anyway? What benefit do they give you?

Probably because the international model has CM9 and modems made for it. Not a bad idea, can't blame him for wanting it to work

Thank you! The replies are as bad as the misplaced threads! I NEVER say anything. I just report it and move on; which is infinitely more productive than bashing the OP or inquiring as to why they posted in that particular section.

i'm not faulting him for asking, at all. Its a legit question that most people (including myself) dont know the actual answer to. I was just making an educated guess (at least as educated as I can )

I'd disagree. It encourages other people to report posts more and refrain from posting the same "why'd you post here" comments over and over.
If everyone decides to comment on it instead of reporting, it just takes that much longer for it to appear in the correct subforum. And of course, the inevitable flaming continues and the thread ultimately ends up closed.
How is encouraging forum rules unproductive?
It reinforces the point

Ok ok my fault i figured if i ask here its more likely ill get one of the devs looking at my post and get quick answer or tell me how to open dang modem.bin and i can compare i9100 vs i777. u guys could have focused on helping not blaming.

Most of the devs here do look at general and q&a and are you trying to do this for ics? If so i think we need source for things like that

If we can get international modems to work then we wouldnt have capped speeds especially when it comes to upload.

just a guess but if a simple tweak would make it work, it would have been done long ago. So the fact that it still doesnt work, makes me believe that its not possible without major alterations to the int'l modems.

Development Thread???

I was just catching up on the thread in the general section that says root has been achieved, and then the last post says that you can find the info in the development section? I don't see a development section for our phone yet, are they referring to the sprint models development thread? I'm apparently missing something here... When I first bookmarked our forum there was a development section, but I don't see it there anymore?
I think you need at least 10 quality posts to view the development thread. I've lurked here for a few years with not much to add since I'm no dev. It's time for me to give back where I can.
I believe they made all sections (General, themes, q&a and development) and opened them up together. After a few post in the General you should see it because it's definitely there

I am just confirming that this method works if you need clockwork mod and or root access.
It is working like a dream on my T999.

You will probably get some flames for posting this in the development forum.
This post belongs in the Q&A forum and you will find what you are looking for in the General forum. Look for mpgrimm2's thread about bootloader differences and my post in that thread with many of the bootloaders, including the one you requested.
And please read the forum guidelines and post in the correct one next time.

People that make posts like this need to figure out how to find things that have already been covered, so there was a reason I didn't include a direct link to what he wanted.
You are certainly welcome to handle it as you see fit.

I agree, it just seems like more time gets wasted discussing post location and relevance than anything else here. Perfect example is in the top half of this post. Too bad stuff like that is even an issues really...

Ramjet, your answer was great. You took the time to guide this guy in the right direction and even told him the thread starters name to help more, also adding that download links were there and notified him that this is the wrong place for a question. If someone couldn't find the thread with the info you provided, they don't need to be modding their phone anyway. I see you around here helping anyone that needs it. Good job.
Twisted, what's the sense in getting on Ramjet? He's not a troll by any means and was only trying to help. He probably didn't post a link because of the good directions he gave in finding it. The guy probably found the thread before you ever posted your link. Troll me if you want but that's just my 2 cents.

Why help? This is a community that's built on helping and learning (at least its supposed to be). I spent months asking stupid questions and then I got to the point where I could start helping. We need to let the mods sort out where the posts belong.
If I were on vacation and went to a gas station to buy beer and I didn't see any on the shelves, I might ask the clerk if this is a dry county. They would say yes or they'd say no we're out. I wouldn't expect the clerk to say "go do some f..king research".

Which Device do I have?

I have the US Cellular Varient of the GS3 (4GLTE+2GBram)
Would this be considered the i9305? under settings model number it says"SCH-530U" blah blah.
Anyone know?
This is the international forum. Keyword international, you have a us cellular variant sgs3 so no its not an I9305. Instead of making the most useless thread why wouldn't you just do a google search??

It seems that you don't know anything about this stuff, but here's a tip: You have the USA version, ask these questions in their forum.
Anyway, what carrier do you have?

Yes but when you get 40 posts like yours a day some get annoyed as USA users don't read the stickies i guess .

So please put your lasso aside, stop your horse and start doing that what you're expecting from others.

Who is Admin for this particular forum?

I've posted comments about a few ROMs in this forum already today.
Just thought I'd ask who the Admin is...?
Seems we would want to move many of the items posted, to the non-Tmobile HTC One forum. Quantity isn't quality. If there are a bunch of posts, but they don't pertain to the Tmobile version then we might as well all be hanging out in the main HTC One forum. Ya know?
