Need help :S - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive got a phone hat has exact same hardware as s3. Its basicly s3 with stock android. My phone carrier is the manufacturer, im not from murica so yeah not verizon and and ****. i wanna know if i can use costum s3 roms on my device. sry for bad english x.x
TY

If you don't have a Samsung i9300 then no, S3 rom will not work on your phone. This isn't a forum for clones so nothing here will work, instead may brick it.

Yeah on stock, but on a Samsung Admire. Don't bother. American phones have slightly different radios.

No network signal... sim is not lock !!!

Hello.. I trying to fix my S2 i777...I upgrade it to ICS 4.0.3 the official version using Kies... and the same issue no signal... after that I root the phone... tried so many different apps.. such as the Samsung galaxy s Sim unlock etc etc etc etc.... and the network lock is OFF and pretty sure about it... but I do not have signal... I tried different Sims from different providers and is the same issue... the phone is recognizing the Sim cuz is asking for the PIN... but not signal...also I bought a unlock code and no is not that... so someone knows how to fix it
Not trying to be an ass but why do people come to a custom ROM forum to ask questions about official att Samsung updates and help with them.

Did it work before the upgrade? If it did I would return it to AT&T and tell him the ICS update broke your phone.

did the upgrade break it? did you do something to break it?
Does your provider support at&t bands?
If the phone is stock, and you havent done anything to cause the problem. check the contacts on the SIM, or the phone h/w failed.
heh. got beat.

If it was like that before the upgrade then it's a hardware issue. The phone has a broken antenna.
And you probably voided his warranty by flashing a custom rom. LOL.

the phone was working fine 3 weeks ago!!!!
Because if I was over In The att / Samsung forums asking for help with a custom ROM what kind of replies and help would I get. Like I said I wasn't trying to be an ass about it was just kinda curious why people don't ask for help on official ROMs from the people who actually release it.

Then they flashed it twice for original hk samsung rom....however it doesnt work and i give up to ask the stupid hk samsung.
I hope u guys can help me or let me know what its goin on....
Thanks so much

Am getting similar msgs about a running game whatever..... It must b some application i installed which pushes such ads or adware...... How can i know which app? Nd by the way dont know if it is wifi on off related but rather happens when internet source is toggled..... Wifi/3g etc.... Task manager shows no application running....
I asked my (Chinese) wife, it means "The Internet connection was changed".
I don't see any pics man
A quick look at logcat will probably tell you the offending app or process.
It means way of connection to the internet has changed in Chinese
I had a similar issue to this on a UK firmware with an SGS2 and when wifi was enabled it used to display a Korean message, I think there maybe some non-translated strings in this area.
Here is the text if you need it:-
網絡連接狀態改變
So do u guys know how to fixed it?

Well, there is no "issue" except that they've forgotten to translate a string of text somewhere saying "your internet connection changed" as previously stated. This notification is correct.
If you don't want to root it or flash different firmware you'll have to live with it for now.

hello. i just picked up the new samsung galaxy siii for sprint. i was previously on a htc evo 4g and have been flashing roms n kernels for years on that one. i would like to do the same thing with the g3. but first i need to root and it seems like alot of the methods, and roms, etc etc depond on whether it is i9350 or i9300. how can i tell which i have. this is greatly confusing.
I9300 is the International version
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
When u boot up the phone, it should say i9300 or i9305.
Or
Just go to Settings > About
Look at the "Model Number" and it will display GT-i9305 or GT-i9300

Remove the battery cover, remove the battery, and there you go, the number should be there,

No this is the wrong forum. You need sprint galaxy s3 forum.
If you do anything from this section it will brick your device.
