Pls i am planning on buying a samsung galaxy S3 but my fear is that will i be able to browse with my network locked on 3g only.Y i asked dis ? is because when i operated my sisters galaxy tab 2 p3100 tablet i noticed that it doesn't use 3g only when browsing instead it uses both 2g/3g(hardly even shws d 3g) even though i've switched to WCDMA only in the network settings.Airtel 3g in my area is very strong,my nokia 5230 shows full 3g network bar when browsing so my thought was that either it's d tab 2 fault or samsung phns are built not to use 3g only network but instead use both 2g/3g even when wcdma is selected.So pls help me gs3 user,does your phn do d same thing because i need 3g for downloading heavy files and i don't want 2 have a phn dat doesn't lock on 3g only(tnx).

I don't know if its me, Viroblaze is bashing... But mate... You took whatever i said the wrong way. When I say 'I NO CARE'... I mean that 'I don't care for it OR I don't want it' and not 'I don't care'.

If you look at this Post again - https://www.nairaland.com/1131501/samsung-galaxy-s2-s3-s4/5#15343215

You will see that i said I NO CARE to Honsule also who is a good friend.. So no need to take it Personal son...

HOW TO ROOT GT-I9500 INTERNATIONAL S4 (EXYNOS 5 OCTA VERSION)

WARNING - THIS IS ONLY FOR INTERNATIONAL GALAXY S4 GT-I9500 EXYNOS 5 OCTA VERSION ONLY!!!

DON'T TRY ON ANY OTHER MODEL OF THE S4!


UNINSTALL KIES IF YOU HAVE IT INSTALLED. Then Restart PC.

Also, make sure your phone is charged to at least 50%. I'll say 85% but it's a short process. tongue

STEPS
Step 1. Download this rar file which contains (CWM recovery for your Galaxy S4, ODIN and SuperSU Zip file)
RAR File - http://www.sendmyway.com/5fua30zqk5i6

Also download Samsung USB Mobile drivers from here (http://d-h.st/fA7) and install it.

Step 2. Power off you Galaxy S4 and hold down VolumeDown, Center Home, and Power buttons together for about 5 seconds.

Step 3. When you see the warning screen, let go of all buttons then hit the Volume Up button to enter ODIN Download mode.

Step 4. Connect a micro-USB cable from your Galaxy S4 to your computer.

Step 5. In the ODIN folder, run the Odin3 v3.07.exe file by double-clicking on it.

If you see a highlighted box, you are good to go! if not, you probably didn't install the Samsung USB drivers EXE file you downloaded earlier. So, after installing it, unplug/re-plug the micro-USB cable to your phone. You should see the box light up!

Next, click 'PDA', then browse to the CWM recovery you downloaded earlier for your Galaxy S4. To the precise, this file 'cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar'.

Make sure Re-partition is 'NOT' ticked in ODIN... Then Hit 'Start' to begin flashing CWM recovery to your phone.

Step 6. This will flash a custom CWM recovery to your Galaxy S4 and your phone will reboot.

If you see “PASS!” that means everything went successfully.

Step 7. Next, after your phone reboots, copy the SuperSU zip file (CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip) you downloaded earlier to a new folder you will name 'AAAAA' in your Internal SD.


~ At this point, you can now close ODIN on ur computer and unplug your USB cable if you wish ~


Step 8. Power off your Galaxy S4 then hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power buttons together.

Step 9. When you see the Samsung logo, keep holding down Volume Up and Center Home buttons but let go of the Power button, after say 5 seconds, let go of all buttons.

Step 10. Once in CWM Recovery, choose “install zip from sdcard” and hit the Power button.


** IN CWM, you scroll with the volume buttons and select by just tapping the power button **


Step 11. Choose “choose zip from sdcard” and hit the Power button.

Step 12. Choose “0/” directory and hit the Power button.

Step 13. Browse and find the SuperSU zip file you copied to the 'AAAAA' folder earlier and hit the Power button.

Step 14. Choose “Yes” and hit the Power button.

Step 15. This will install su binaries and SuperSU superuser app on your phone. This essentially “roots” your Galaxy S4.

Step 16. Go back to main menu and choose “reboot system now”, then hit Power button. Your Galaxy S4 will reboot.

Step 17. Once rebooted, you should find SuperSU app in your App drawer.

Step 18. Run the SuperSU app once and update the binaries.

Step 19. You can verify you have full root by downloading and opening rooted app like Titanium Backup app (which is highly recommended for backing up/freezing/un-installing your apps).


ENJOY YOUR ROOTED EXYNOS GT-I9500!!!

Lol, yh I was one of the first people to get the S4. Samsung Nigeria said I was the second. Lol. but anyways, The GS4 is more than just a device, it is an Experience. Every second using this bad boy is amazing. And it looks awesome too. Not as girly/curvy as the S3 was. it's design is more of S2 + S3 together. It feels great in the hand too... Many say it looks cheap due to the polycarbonate material used to build the body... But I assure you one thing, it doesn't feel cheap. AT ALL! smiley


iamDozzy: my s3 charges very slowly and/or discharges if I use it while charging ..how do I fix this ..and please dont say I should try a custom rom ..dont wanna root

The truth is that rooting and flashing a custom rom and or kernel will fix. But since that's out of the question, what you should do is re-calibrate ur battery. Get an app named 'BatteryCalibration' from app store then follow the instructions there.
And By the way, if you use 3G/HSDPA, battery consumption will always be more...

P.S : Don't use ur phone while it's charging. do one or the other. smiley
