                    I absolutly love this phone. Only kept it stock for 3 days then I rooted it. Currently running android 4.4.2, yes thats right Kit Kat. Total upgrade and a big change for the better. email me for info for any galaxy s III. Quick tips to increase speed Go to setting, Developer, options and turn it on, then scroll down to Window Animation scale change setting to the lowest number besides off, some will go down to .5 and others to .25, do the same for the next 2 sections Transition Animation Scale and Animator Duration Scale. If you dont see an instant boost just change them back to the 1.0X. Rooting the phone truly gives you endless possibilites. Right now mine is a lot faster than the galaxy s IV.

                        same,it has the looks of s4 indeed but i have 2 problems: it
                        shows in battery management that i'm on wifi all the time
                        even if i don't have wifi on and i get the eye all the time if i
                        activate the feature where if you look at the phone the
                        screen stays on. And that happened after i reseted the
                        phone.

                              Hi,
                              I just got a S3 I747. I've 2 questions:

                              1. It's running in 4.1.1. Can I upgrade it to 4.1.2 ?
                              2. It has no option for VIDEO CALLING through Network Service Provider. How can I active this Network Video Calling option?

                              Some one please help. I live in Bangladesh & using GrameenPhone 3G network.

It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
                                  2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
                                  3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
                                  4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect.
