Hi guys
Just want to know which radio are you guys using. I'm using KD1. Anyone done any testing to see whether this is the best for Australia or a previous version such as kb3.
I know for my x10 there are regional updates for basebands. Is this the case for the nexus S

I too would like to know more info about radios. I'm currently on kb3 and it seems sufficient. I get GPS lock in 10 seconds so reasonably happy.

Tested with Kb3 and Kd1, both same, not much difference as Vodafone network is still upgrade in progress. I guess, KD1 is mre effective for UK

Stock rom doesn't show the H sign. Only custom roms do that. Maybe it's a carrier issue?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I think mostly in AUstralia, we get less "H", I not sure why, gotta ask them
Oh I'm using superaosp.. best rom... so that's not because of stock rom that I don't see h
Funny when I first got the planing on now I see h very often

I'm also with vodafail. Using speedtest, I get better download with the new radio KD1 and upload speed was relatively the same in comparison with KB3
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.

Yeah I'm wondering the same but I don't think any Canadian versions will be available until tomorrow.

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.

For telus galaxy s 3, not sure if bell and rogers have same software

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.

Just about to order a nexus 7 and looking for advice on getting either the WiFi or 3G version.
I would like the 3G version but am concerned that there seems to be hardly any custom ROMs for it. Have I missed something here, as in, can custom ROMs for the WiFi version be flashed on to the 3G version as well?
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks
John

7inch is too big to take it out
Is a 3G nexus a bad choice for custom ROMs?
Thanks guys. My main concern is that if I get the 3G version there will be very few custom ROMs available when compared to the WiFi version.
Can anyone confirm what the range of custom ROMs available is for the 3G version please?
Cheers

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
Thanks for the info

So last night I went and switched from T-Mobile to Verizon. I'm living in a different areA and T-Mobile has little to no coverage here. Verizon is the main carrier.
So in the store, based on price and size of the phone I went with the desire 626. I like HTC phones so I was hAppy with the choice. I came on xda last night and seen a very small community. Is this phone that new? Very little development rom wise had me bummed out.
Looking at the threads I see posts of 626s, 626g+. I want to root/recovery as soon as I can. If anyone can confirm my version and recommend a root/recovery method that would be extremely helpful.. thanks much.. looking forward to being here..
My cAmeras are 8back, 5Front
