Nothing is wrong with it. It's just I wanted a case with more grip. Had the stupid salesguy working there found the key to open the case and lemme feel one before I bought it, I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. Feel kinda ripped off. Now it's opened and I can't return it.

I'm pretty sure it just works fine on Fido without a code. A few of my friends have gotten it to work. Did you get it from Rogers yourself or on CL? Maybe it's a Telus/Bell

I'm guessing that you mean 2G bands? All the Galaxy S3's sold from the carriers have the same 2G bands so if you want to use a Telus SGS3 on Fido you will be able to use 2G as well.

Voice works perfectly but can't get data, it says 4g in the taskbar. Thoughts? Don't want to unlock and void warranty unless I have to

I ordered mine online from Rogers on Monday morning. So excited!

I got a receipt and everything, but I want to track it. How long does it usually take for them to give you a tracking number?

All of you on Fido will be able to make use of your LTE very soon

Quote:
TORONTO, July 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Fido announced today that LTE service will be unleashed this summer, giving customers the speed of an enhanced network service across major markets in Canada, including in the cities and surrounding areas of Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal and St. Johns with more cities to launch throughout 2012.

"We are thrilled to offer the benefits of LTE network technology to Fido customers this year," said Steven Sarfin, senior director of marketing, Fido Solutions. "Our focus at Fido has always been on providing the best value to our customers. With data plans starting from $10/month, affordable LTE service is a perfect complement to the exclusive FidoADVANTAGE programs like FidoTRADE™, Fido LiveANSWERS™ and FidoDOLLARS™ our customers already enjoy." Sarfin added.

For the fast and the furry, LTE enables Canadians to use their mobile devices to quickly download apps, upload images of their four-legged friends and download HD files, such as movies and music, with virtually no delays or buffering. Coming this summer, the Fido Mobile Hotspot will be the first LTE-enabled device available from Fido. This device creates a Wi-Fi hotspot wherever, and whenever customers need it, and wirelessly connects up to 10 Wi-Fi capable devices simultaneously. LTE-enabled smartphones will be available at Fido later this year, and all of the Fido LTE-enabled devices are capable of running across Fido's 4G HSPA+ network which covers 96 per cent of the population of Canada.
FIDO | Fido to unleash its LTE network across Canada this summer

lte isn't a big deal. It's so fast most users on Fido use 500mb. When it was on lte surfing I ate up 500mb in 2 hours.

There's an exact same one on eBay from fosmon. It's like 6.98 and t comes with a screen protector. There's also a 6.97 one that comes with a mini stylus. So if that'd what you need it'll be a better deal.

I just picked up a cheap $7.99 case from NCIX to tide me over if I order online and have to wait for shipping. I will check out night market and browse ebay.

It Came with a screen protector but i got lint on it and became unusable without bubbles

I'm not even gonna use the screen protector from it. The screen looks and feels way too good naked and doesn't gather many finger prints. The grainy screen protector makes the is so pixely I just can't stand it.
