kofsy: My name is Kofsy, I am a blackberry addict tongue

Now following this thread to free myself from the stranglehold of BB!

But there is a challenge... My bro just got an S3 and I'm beginning to fall in love with driod... Even though I don't have a clue of how the phone really works... It looks kinda complicated. Now for the past 1week, my bro has been struggling with browsing. His blackberry was stolen 2days after he subscribed for airtel unlimited BIS. He got an S3 and retrieved the line a week after(a microsim ofcourse) and he still has about 1.9G left on the sim. We followed the direction of subscribing for the 10mb daily plan and the phone browsed for that day alone. After that day, it stopped browsing... sad what do you think is wrong?

Right now the only thing he does with the phone is receive calls, sms, and snap pictures. I know the phone is a superb one and my bro is not utilizing its functions and features. I don't blame him though, he was a blackberry addict like myself(used 5 different BBs within 4years). Can someone pls help us? As I intend getting an S3 from the UK too.

Thanks in anticipation... BTW, stanley you are doing a great job and I also love your looks; handsome I must say. Don't ask me how I got to see your pics wink

Lol! Beginning of ur post sounded like you were starting a support group speech.
If the phone was browsing then stopped after the bundle expired, what exactly fo you need our help from, sounds like it's between you and your Operator (Airtel). The only thing we can possibly do for you is call Airtel. And that you can do yourself. smiley

Another admirer! cheesy Thanks.. Always lovely to hear such kind words, especially from the ladies, always creepy when guys tell me. tongue

Tell your brother to dial this code on his Airtel *141*712*0# or *123*10# if he sees 'you have no data' Know for sure that the S3 'drank' the 1.9gb

You won't lose anything until you do a wipe. But i'm not saying you will have to wipe. At the same time, you might need to. Too much grammar, I know.
Bottomline, just root it. cool

Clean it if is dusty, and
Keep out of reach of children!

Lol. Y u hate CM? Anywho! Try PACMAN ROM, Rootbox, Ressurection Remix, Slim ROM or SuperNexus.
But I'm not up to date on S3 ROMs tho... but these ones are good AFAIK. wink

Lmao thanks bro... I finally flashed Carbon, nightly tho... Very fast and smooth so far. But.... It's stuck on edge and no where to change to 3G.... Just to set in 2G.. I think it's the modem. So would you recommend a good modem for me? And link if poasible.

Whaaoooo! Samsung finally rolled out the much - awaited software update on S4 that has the "move to sd card" feature! About 380MB size. I guess it also fixes the heat issue. I can now conveniently root my s4!
