I Could Jump In This Thread Now... Lol... Anyone Know Where I Could Get An Micro SD 32GB/64GB Card To Buy... I Have A Tf300 With Only 16GB Internal Memory... Thing Fulling Up Fast...

Amazon. bess prices. no taxes. dont buy from third party sellers. ships and sold by amazon only. lots of counterfeits. go sandisk or kingston

Given the price these things selling locally it eh really make sence sky boxing one card tbh

Getting it for 3000 at Digicel with no contract compared to bmobile wanting to charge me nearly 5000 with no contract, no thanks!

Damn, got mine at bmo for 4k contract free unlocked and for 3k I got another one during a sale. It's maybe better you buy it outside, unlocked. If not an option, you'd have to buy the unlock code somewhere, some sites deliver it instantly. You can Google around. Rooting may be the best and easiest way though.

he can always root it, unlock it, then unroot it

^ dunno why that didn't occur to me but excellent suggestion.

Sometimes when you go the way of rooting to unlock, when a new/updated ROM is flashed, it will be re locked

Don't know if that occurs if you pay a site for the unlock code though

Just something to keep in mind

I order small things like that with other items to offset the price. Get it up to a full pound.

I was trying to not root but these official updates take so dam long, I might reconsider my position

[Trini Hookah]

Might jump back on android next year, missing my Xperia, but need one without slide...those flex cables have a really short life.

[S_2NR]

The new xperias are nice

There is zero advantages of waiting for carrier or region updates

[sentraman]

Ok I'm gonna do it. Hope I don't fork it up

[Stephon.]

I still don't see the point in rooting, I mean, ok it does have it's benefits but the android phones we have now are all so powerful and can already do so much WITHOUT root, why root it?

I can understanding jailbreaking an iPhone because it turns a paperweight into a smartphone but an Android, I just don't get it.

If you have your own PC, don't you want to have the ability to run as Administrator or as a Standard limited user?

Yeah but there's not really anything that you can do on a rooted device that's impossible on a non rooted device

Actually there is a lot but if you don't explore those options, Root may seem useless to you, but I for one cannot use my phone comfortably without root

The first thing I do on any Android device I own is change the notification bar to black, change the battery icons and text to AOSP blue, get a transparent pull down notification shade and customize my quick toggles and "power button" menu, which is only possible with root.

I also use Titanium Backup to back up and take all app data if need be and the first thing to do on any Samsung phone is make a backup of the EFS folder, not possible without root.

Now these things may seem unnecessary to you but I won't feel comfortable without the mods, hence the true beauty of android.

Take for example the notification toggles on the S3, that was an idea that Samsung copied from a developer that goes by the name of J_Kay on XDA which provided the extended Notification bar, of course you had to have root to install it

[Stephon.]

The only thing I wish I could do to my S3 right now is change the H+ icon to say 4G, not that it matters but my father phone does say 3G and I find it does look "cool" compared to H+ lol

See not everybody know what H+ is so when they ask to borrow your phone they wouldn't know, but if a girl ask to see your phone and she see a 4G icon on top she go think you ballin'

With the correct skills, you would have been able to that yourself, or maybe you can ask a themer on XDA to do it for you, it's a weird request but it's what you want, lol

[achillies]

With my current mod, I have a choice of the 2 posted below

So I know that someone could change the icons to say '4G'

@ Nervewrecker

I'm using the mod located here, it gives a lot of control over a lot of aspects, but if all you want is a specific mod, then it might not suit you

The stock JB 4.1.1 rom shows 4G or E with the arrows

Most devices will say 4G once they detect that network, but the i9300 doesn't have 4G radios the i9305 does, so I don't even know if the icons are there, if they are, it won't ever show up in Trinidad, but what Stephon wants is to replace the H+ icon with a 4G icon to impress the girls




Edit: I talking about true 4G/LTE eh

[Rooki3]

4g wud show when d phone detect 4g, it shows 3g ever so often, heard that the "4g" we gettin aint 4g

[Kronik]

Well I guess my at&t version have more pips than stephon one lol

[sentraman]

Ent that is the dual core 4G version as opposed to the quad core hspa+ that Bmobile have

[Kronik]

That is correct. Also 2GB ram vs 1GB of the i9300
