I have the gt-i9000m running on the sasktel network in canada. This phone is branded as a vibrant which I have learned it is not.
Is this the correct forum for such a device?
I'm trying to get these models straight but I'm unfortunately still quite confused.
Thanks all.

The Canadian Vibrant is the international Galaxy S with Bell/Telus/Rogers/AT&T 3G bands. This is the forum to use for it, the four US models all differ slightly in hardware.

Is there any Samsung Galaxy variant (excluding Captivate) has GSM 850MHz UMTS 3G Band?
I would like to buy one that could be used with ATT.

Up until the internal memory dies, anyway.
I9000T has it.

Does the problem affect other Galaxy?
If not, how come only Bell's Galaxy's were affected?

I found one on eBay Australia a day or two ago, finishing today and it's about A$350 at the moment, can go for under A$450 quite often. But if you don't want to get it off eBay, Telstra have it outright (the 850 version) for A$960 outright (not recommended) or you could find it (850/NextG version) online at places such as MobiCity (also Australian) for A$729 outright.
Hope that helps, that's all I know from living here in Australia
the new batches of SGS Bell i9000m seems to not have the internal SD problem
only the original batch from launch time.
if anyone needs help purchasing a brand new original I9000M from a Bell store, just let me know via PM
The canadian telus fascinate uses is compatible on att, the us fascinate isn't.
Do anybody know if the Atrix in UK will work for our ATT? Please comment and refer me to links if needed too. Thanks

Usually UK phones have different bands, so even though it would work if it were GSM, you wouldn't get 3G on AT&T.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT: I looked on gsmarena.com and the Atrix I saw had the same bands as AT&T, but it may different than the one you're taking about.

I'm getting a bell gs 3 and I am wondering if anyone knows of a good forum for Canadian variants. Do people mostly stick to these boards. AMD has anyone with a Canadian I747 tried rooting yet with the att root.

What carrier. Are you planning to root
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Just got mine today too. No plans to root yet. Coming from a desire hd, this phone is awesome. I'm sure I'll get bored, and root it in a few weeks.

Got the bell version, model number is SGH-I747M, am pretty sure its the same as the AT&T version, and usually all the canadian gsm hardware is compatible with AT&T, inlcuidng 3g and hspa+/LTE frequencies
Picked up mine from Bell today, planning to root it for ad block and titanium back up etc
Are the 32gb Telus, Bell and Rogers ones released already or only 16gb?

I bought the 16 gb I747 s III and rooted it using a step by step tutorial from zedomax
Just go to galaxys3root .com and you there will be instructions for sprint/tmobile/at&t which are the same phones that the canadian carriers received.
Mine was from telus though.
Worked fine, should be no problems
Using this method, do you keep stock recovery. I want to root so I can use adb to pull stock kernel and stock recovery and i will make them into cwm zips.

thanks for the link. i'm gonna try rooting now to be able to use root explorer, setCPU (until kernel is modified), and titanium backup and restore the data of all my games & settings. i just got my phone yesterday without a preorder. got a 32gb pebble blue. can't wait for jellybean now... mainly for the fluidity and the offline maps.

never mind.. just found out offline google maps is already available for the s3. can only download 100MB of maps though.. still covers all of calgary and some.
Honestly im not sure. Im pretty sure that it changes the kernel though.

So I US Cellular is done in Chicago and I refuse to purchase another phone if I can change over with my current one.
I am already rooted and wondering what I would need to do attempt to get the cmda to recognize Verizon. PLEASE HELP!

Looks like you're in the wrong section. This is for the international GS 3 rather than any us variant so any help probably will either be a. Harmful to the device or b. Not helpful at all

Now I have had previous Samsung Galaxy phones that I have rooted and I'm very familiar with the whole process.
However, I have never used a phone that was bought for one carrier and used on another.
I'm planning to purchase an AT&T Galaxy S4 and using it on the T-Mobile network (wish me luck).
What would be the best way to unlock the AT&T phone to use a T-Mobile SIM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285431This is what I have found, but I heard something about a USB unlock being more successful.
Once the phone is "Unlocked", and I root the device, should I be using the AT&T ROMs section, or T-Mobile? I'm going to guess AT&T because they are somewhat hardware dependent?
Lastly, will this AT&T version limit my signal in anyway (not accounting for the already possibility of bad signal)?
Meaning the AT&T version only picks up the lesser of the T-Mobile bands or signals.
If I sound like an idiot, I apologize. I've done some research and cant seem to find the right keywords to search.
Thanks in advance for any information.

I'd advise you buy a T-Mobile Galaxy s4. Our bootloader is locked and the newest updafe only has a root exploit and

I am using i337 with tmobiles sim card. I get 4g at over 10mbs and even over 20mbs on some good dsys. I usually use att roms although I've found that i9505 and tmobile work too. Just have to stick with loki'ed kernels. Hope this helps.
It does, thank you.
So look for a ROM with Loki kernels?
And which unlock method did you use to get the T-Mobile SIM to work?
The one above or a different one
