I wish there is way to upgrade your s3 As in add an extra 1gb ram to the mother board of your phone, I mean if some of the galaxy have 2gb I would say there is room on the board for more.... Hmmmmmmm I wonderr
http://www.mlivetech.com/2012/06/28/samsung-galaxy-s3-is-getting-ram-upgrade-for-jelly-bean/
This article was out June 28th What ever happen to the international with 2gb RAHHHH
here is the thing:
if samsung decides to upgrade ram they have two options, to release new model I930x with identical hw as I9300 but 2 gigs of ram OR keep it I9300 and call back in ones with 1gb of ram and replace em for free (second option isnt gonna happen anyways). however if first option happens and I9300 doesnt get android 5.0, how hard is it actually going to be to port roms with only one more gb of ram...in best scenario roms will be universal, just maybe small kernel difference

Why wouldnt it be possible for NON-Samsung engineers to update themselves?
Do u mean it will be possible to get the roms from the " i930X" phones and put them on the i9300 ?
And what do u mean android 5.0 isnt JB 4.1.1?
Another quick question my freind was wondering if they can have the same software on our SG3 in his SG2? If it is a yes is it just a simple flash if yes where would u get the flash file
why would you want to make changes to the motherboard when you can simply "DOWNLOAD MORE RAM"
Honestly, if you want a good laugh visit this site http://www.downloadmoreram.com/ make sure to read their blog which shares experiences of people who have used it
He's on about the next update after jb which looks like it's going to be key lime pie

may God have mercy on you...since you certainly deserve much needed tech savvy'ness...most people in this forum...already have S3 so I doubt anyone will be looking to buy haha...
I thought of the same idea: RAM upgrade for samsung galaxy s III.
Will it be hard to swamp RAM like how we do on laptops?
Wish it could be done like that!! Buy extra 2 RAM and plug it in.

If you are looking to be banned you are going about it the right way.
Stop trolling these forums, sell the phone if you don't like it and stay in the XS forums.
Nobody cares if you don't like the phone or not, I don't know why you don't understand that.

Yeah ok go buy a new phone...give me the cash and i will...
We're not all businessmen around here with billions of dollars,some of us made sacrifices to get that device...
open your s3 , stick a 4gb ddr3 chip inside and try booting it it may work
Hey Guys, I just exchanged my Quad Core Exynos chip with Intel 16 core i10 chip with 5 GB RAM...the local tech guy was very kind and also agreed to add 1 TB of extra memory to go with the 16 GB of internal memory...
All at just 99.99 $..I am very happy now..
I future I am thinking of buying more electronic products from Idiot Electronics..
don't believe me? Just check it out in the nearby stores..

Someone happened to check the desire/desireHD for this aspect?... My wild guess that it's somewhat the same.
It's the same thing with your PC? The user addressable memory is quite a bit lower than what you put in ?
The thing is other phones also advertised as 512mb have 400mb+ useable ram
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Every android phone that i know has a reserved memory(for gpu i think). You can check this thread to see the reserved memory on other models:
/showpost.php?p=7179649
So? Different hardware, different memory mapping. The choose a design for whatever reason that they felt secure with. Very hard to second guess that without knowing what happened in development. Especially if you don't have a background in embedded hardware design. Furthermore there is a "fix" where some of the memory allocation is free'd up.
This really doesn't deserve a ****storm.

In case your board uses an onboard display adapter - yes. the onboard display adapter uses up to 128mb of your installed RAM, usually.

Hi,

If they fix the homescreen redraw problem in the official JB release for the i9300 then the current 1GB is enough for me.
Okay, my gs3 will store less app in the background, but quad core cpu is fast enough to open them again.

Hello members, so i was reading about the GooPhone that is supposedly patented with the Iphone 5 design in China. They are apparently ready to sue apple once the phone is released.
Anyway it led me to a site that has android/windows/blackberry devices.
Now they seem legit, have looked around and seen that there are some reviews, only negative comments are about the long shipping.
My question is, has anyone here ever ordered from this site.
http://www.fastcardtech.com/
I was interested in maybe ordering a device playing with it for a while, then maybe sending to a dev to see if the components would match that of its US counterpart to see if custom ROMS would be able to be installed.
So please read, look, get interested, and chat about the site!!!!

If she really doesn't do anything on it then I would get out for her because 512mb of ram is the same a an IPhone which has fast enough speed for every day tasks not sure if she will need more than 4GB of space but there is a microsd slot up to 32GB so that might help 1GHz processor is beyond overkill for what you said she does so sure why not!

After some careful research, and some digging into chinese forums. These phones are complete fakes.
It seems that they may not ever make it stateside. They also have IMEI problems, so they may work for a week, but after that they seem to start having disconnect problems. Also looks like the GPS will not work, being that it is based in China satelittes will not transmit here.
I almost bought one today, like 3 times, but after more and more digging, I have decided not too.
This seems to be a complete scam. There are a bunch of sites claiming fraudulent accounts among the site as well.
What seemed so nice quickly slips away.

I first went on www.fastcardtech.com/forums and was reading the results of users. Alot sounded pretty upset. Although there are not very many replies, there are some feedback.
I asked a question about a device, and then asked the same question again 2days later, and got a different answer. I will do it again, and get a screen shot so that I can show you all. There was another forum in XDA about the site, there are some saying its legit, others not so much.

Will post back with more.
I am still considering ordering one, just havent decided yet. I know as soon as I do that they will announce the Note 2 for Tmobile.
I have found a few more credible sites, there is,
www.koobay.com
www.exportandgo.com
Upon searching the fastcardtech site brands devices to companies that dont actually have these devices. For instance, I have found the HDC (china phone maker) and they list their products, then you reference the FTC site and there are thousand of HDC branded devices that are not actually HDC brand!
I've seen an apple S4 by them. The screen res is terrible.it had virtually no memory. Build was terrible. Do not waste your money. I'm sure no rom with work on them.

Well, that's a new one. I thought most people here bought the i9500 because it was the only one sold in their countries, but I guess some actually willingly expose themselves to the utter torture of owning an exynos device, knowing the low dev support it has and will continue to have.
Porting something from a Qcomm device to exynos won't be easy, if possible at all. You'll have to wait until CM publishes a nightly for the i9500........whenever that happens....

Yes this is really annoying to be forced to buy the model that Samsung decides to sell in each country. But geeks can always buy the version they want...if they really want !

What phone is everyone coming from that has decided to move to the S5? I'm on an S3 now and still debating if I want to use my upgrade on this phone or wait and see what the note4 I'd gonna be like or some other phone. Still on the fence here.

I have the S3 also. I'm debating the S5, but at the end of the day I think that I want a phone that's smaller than the note. The S5 doesn't have all of the features that I want (namely the larger internal memory), but I think it will be the best option out there. I'm also on the fence, but not sure I could wait until the note 4 comes along.
I'm on the Moto X, and I have my upgrade June 1. I'm at a toss up between the S5, M8, or waiting to see the X2 or Nexus 6. But I hate waiting...

I'm coming from an M7. I used to love HTC but this phone really upset me. Horrible signal (4G basically doesn't work and a SIM swap didn't help), not-so-good camera, and other slow down issues that really annoy me. I've had every HTC phone on Sprint since the Hero and none have disappointed me as much as this one TBH. I wanted an S4 last time but went M7 instead and now I'm just gonna switch over for the S5. Mine's cracked and a replacement would be $200 so I'd rather spend less and get an S5.
Im on the HTC Evo3D still and looking to upgrade and was looking at the One (M8) But the more I look at the S5 the more I like it. My mom has the S4 and being a bit of an HTC guy, I really like her S4. Plus I like the fact that the S5 looks to have an SD card slot as where the One doesnt. Not sure what to do just yet but in about 3 weeks I will be looking to upgrade to something newer. So far the S5 is in the lead. If it gets root right away, then im all in!

I'm coming from the S2. It has been a great phone, but 3 years is a long time and it's starting to show need of retirement. Can't wait to see this beast.

I agree, running the S2 as well. Been great so far.

The m8 actually does have a micro SD card slot up to 128 gb.

Coming from the s3 myself. I was hoping for more competition but I don't see anything else out there as good.
I don't like the sizes getting bigger and think the s3 size is right for me but there just isn't other choices in that range.

I'm sure there will be an S5 mini, or the Moto X is the same size I think.
Just upgraded to the HTC one max and it's pretty nice. There's not much development though. I'm getting the s5 for its waterproof feature and because it looks like the most balanced phone at the moment.

The S2 has been a beast and really stood the test of time I think, but my charging port finally gave out on me 2 weeks ago so i've been forced to make a decision so im jumping ship in hopes that the S5 has the same great community the S2 has had. I just hope i dont end up regretting it, for example locked boot loader keeping us from asop and etc. or maybe i shouldve opted for the note3... hmm.. too late now!
I sure will miss this versatile little phone!

The S3 and S4 are very similar in size and if I recall the S4 might be a bit smaller.
And the biggest thing that is putting me on the fence- Sprint Spark sucks if you depend on using data while on a call. This is kinda a huge deal to me and almost makes the S4 (Non-Triband) a better phone. But at the same time- S5 is kick ass other than that. It has the best battery life of any Android phone due to algorithms. But I may buy a S5 to get Framily plan- I know it sucks but it is something.
