Looked through quite a few pages and haven't seen this asked. Unfortunately I can't put up with the call problems of the Gnex. I just use my phone too much for work. Was considering getting the s 3 under warranty replacement if they allow it. Does anyone know if can be rooted and unlocked?
It's not even available yet........

Genius in the house. I can't even count the number of time a device has been rooted before available. The international S3 was one of them.

Since NO ONE HAS an S4 variant of this device yet, re-read my post again.

What part of no one has this phone yet do you not understand? How can it be rooted or unlocked when Samsung hasn't released one yet? Have you not been following how tightly Samsung has been keeping these things under wraps??

Good luck getting the S3 as a warranty replacement because its not going to happen, the phone hasn't been released no one has one to mess with or anything so as of now it is unknown. If it was rooted I'm sure it would have been posted already all over different forums

Kinda what I figured but thought I would ask in case I had missed something.
Thanks for the luck I'll need it but the guy at the Verizon store today hinted that I might have a chance.

Yeah guys/girls at Verizon stores are stupider than my door knob, example went in to the store today to get a 4G LTE sim card for my thunderbolt that's been sitting in my night stand and now my sister wants to use and the lady and guy both working said that not only I needed to bring the device in but now there's a fee for the sim card :what:
I attempted to get the S3 as a replacement and from my understanding the only way it would be possible is if there was a certified like new device available.

Hmmm... I have a cracked screen and was thinking of using my insurance anyways. I wonder if I bring it in brand new and never even been taken out of the box if they would replace it that way? One could argue it's close to being the same phone to someone who doesn't really know the difference

First of all, the phone has already been released in Europe and parts of Asia for some time. Second, a while back somebody leaked the official samsung software rom for the S3, and hackers made quick work of it and had a root method within a day (http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-s3-rooted-stock-rom-leaked/). If you google "samsung s3 root" you will find lots of pages telling you how to root. Here's one example of such a site: http://theunlockr.com/2012/05/26/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s3-smartphone/
I know people are saying that you cannot get a S3 as a replacement but in my situation they did give me an early upgrade to a RAZR Maxx. I had to pay 200 for it but I at least got a phone with good signal. I asked about the S3 as an option and the csr said I could if I was willing to wait. I had another upgrade coming so I had already preordered the S3. My wife is getting the RAZR MAXX and she is thrilled.

Umm no. The CDMA/LTE version from Verizon has NOT been released anywhere yet. It's totally different than the one you are talking about.
Sent from my GT-I9300 Galaxy S3.
I think China Telecom may also release it at about the same time, and it will be CDMA.
Its a samsung so 99% Yes, Though give it a few weeks, it'll be up to 100% and then mmmm aokp
from what i've heard all of us in north america (canada, America, will get the exact slab of hardware, Also at&t's source was just released tonight so sit tight maybe by the end of this week its gonna be rooted!)
Here is proof that phones get rooted before release all the time. ATT, Sprint, and T-Mobile S3s' all have been rooted before anyone has the phone. I'm sure that Verizon's is just around the corner.

Hey guys, here's my situation. I'm buying a Nexus smartphone for development. This will not be my daily driver, my Verizon Galaxy S4 is used for that purpose. My two choices for Nexus phones are the Verizon Galaxy Nexus or Unlocked Nexus 4. I can get the Verizon Galaxy Nexus from a buddy for $160 or an Unlocked Nexus 4 for $299 through Google Play. I don't know what device to get and I need opinions.
Advantages for Unlocked Nexus 4:
Unlocked
Newer hardware
Better Design
Disadvantages fo4 Unlocked Nexus 4:
Higher Price than Unlocked Galaxy Nexus
Cannot throw in my Verizon SIM Card from my S4 to use in case I want to switch between it and the Nexus 4. ( I can however, do this with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus).
Advantages for Verizon Galaxy Nexus:
Cheaper
Able to use with my Verizon SIM Card
Removable battery
More storage
Disadvantage for Verizon Galaxy Nexus:
Older hardware
Not "brand new" (The Unlocked Nexus 4 will be)
So, what do you guys think?
Unlocked Nexus 4 or Verizon Galaxy Nexus?
Comment and tell me what you think!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Gnex. It's cheaper, still has hardware comparable to the hardware that most end users are running, and Google will still support it through KLP. The crap battery will not matter since it's not your dd.

What are you developing? Depending on that answer would depend on my answer. Dev work on a close to obsolete phone would be nearly fruitless. But if you are doing application development then it wouldn't much matter and I'd say go cheap

For those who have Note 3 on Verizon. We all have been waiting patiently for KitKat update which was released last year. All the carriers except for verizon has already released the update. What could be causing the delay for Verizon?
I found this for you, I hope you can find why they're not updating the Note 3 there.

Edit: Updated steps below for possible permanent fix.
So I took the OTA update (I am stock) a few days ago, the next day I realized that I wasn't ever getting LTE, even in places where before I got full coverage. I rebooted, turned data on and off, airplane mode on/off, none of it worked.
What finally did it was going in to Cellular Networks Settings and changing from LTE to 3G and then back again. Magically I started getting LTE again.
More Specific Steps:
Go to Settings->Under "Wireless & Networks" click "More"->Cellular Networks->Preferred Network Type. Switch from LTE to 3G, wait for the data to reconnect, then switch it back to LTE.
My friend was seeing similar issues (not getting LTE where he knew he got it before, mainly at his house) after taking the 6.0.1 on his stock Nexus 5. So I told him what I did and it appears to have fixed his issue too.
Just wanted to let others know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~edit
Updated Steps:
1.) Go to Settings->Under "Wireless & Networks" click "More"->Cellular Networks->Preferred Network Type. Switch from LTE to 3G, wait for the data to reconnect.
2.) reboot your phone.
3.) Go back into Settings->Under "Wireless & Networks" click "More"->Cellular Networks->Preferred Network Type. Switch from 3G back to LTE.
That had been the only thing to keep LTE across boots.

can you play YouTube video on 1080p or 4k without buffering on T-Mobile network. i have T-Mobile and i have problem playing video. my phone show LTE.
Oh yea, forgot to say, I'm on AT&T in Austin, TX. I was wondering if it had something to do with the new band support that went into this or what. But yea, I stopped getting all LTE until I toggled that setting.
It was definitely a problem for me though, so I just thought I would share.
My friend (who is still on the Nexus 5) is on T-Mobile. But he was still getting some LTE, he said at his apartment he used to always get full LTE reception and after the update it would just come and go. But after toggling the setting seems to have brought back his solid reception.
Yeah I've been waiting for it and nothing. Uk

It certainly is. The algorithm is based on IMEI. Just sideload it if you don't want to wait for your number to finally be allocated.

Absolutely. Just reboot the phone into the bootloader and choose update using adb. You have to download the update zip from Google's servers and also you need sdk tools installed. Macs are definitely easier as they just work, windows drivers are a pain but it's possible to get it working, just hit and miss it seems. No unlocked bootloader or root needed.
Search Google for "update nexus manually". Most of the big Android sites have walkthroughs. Barring that just wait for the OTA. I've lazily done that from time to time and it can take anywhere from a day or three to weeks.

I'm the manager of a repair shop, and a customer brought in a VZW galaxy j7 1st gen. Needless to say, I was a bit perturbed when I saw it was running 7.1.1 stock. This is my first Samsung device and I was sort of expecting this. However, the fact that we aren't at least getting the monthly security updates is a bit disappointing to say the least.

Sprint has an update out right now and I was just wondering if anybody has taken it and could let me know if most of the overlays still work and if the hotspot workaround is still able to work? I'm sure this is probably the November security patch. I have not even downloaded the update yet.

So did you guys notice our signal icon is no longer a solid white? It is now lined. I definitely liked the other way better. More AOSP looking. And now certain things do not get themed when using custom Samsung theme.
