^I got that with a bad phone flash. If you're on stock, try reverting to factory settings again (if you haven't done that already). A reflash fixed that issue for me.

Ok so I got a new S3 after my last one had a fatal accident...
The S3 I just got was originally from Bell. I am using my Fido LTE sim however I can't seem to get LTE on it now. I can only get HSPA+ where as my old Telus S3 gave me LTE with the same Fido sim...The APN is correct anyone have any answers on how to get LTE on this?

After the recent the update, not only did my battery drained faster than usual but I also found it very laggy. I had no choice in doing a factory reset, this time around I'd make sure I backup everything first before hitting the confirm button.
I also got myself a mophie case which I highly recommend for those that are hardcore users who dont mind the bulkiness it adds on the phone.

Any suggestions as to where I can go for a new battery? Not very fond of getting this online, as I don't want to get counterfeit junk branded "OEM".

I got mine from ebay because I was able to find an oem one for 10 dollars shipped. it did take 3 weeks to come but it was cheap.

Amazon.ca
If you are planning to use it a bit longer, I got my replacement batteries from Anker which are a bit higher capacity than OEM even though it's the same form factor, and are still good quality according to reviews.

I've been on SlimBean since getting it Sept. 2012. No complaints.
SlimKat I think is still in beta so I haven't upgraded yet. Will soon though even if they're still in beta.
Rooted stock is pretty rock solid too. Gives you permissions to remove any bloat while keeping the phone as stock as possible.

Where can I buy a replacement battery and wall charger for the battery?
Friend's USB port is busted.
NCIX doesn't stock the MOMAX ones anymore.

You can buy unlock codes for <$20 at the usual places (cellunlock etc). If you look hard enough, you can find whatever coupon code of the month certain forums offer. I found a 50% coupon code back in the day (it was off a Blackberry forum, iirc).
That said, there are a ton of tutorials given the phone's age on how to downgrade. It's really just rooting and using Odin to apply an image. There are important steps to follow, but if you watch enough videos doing the task once will be enough for you to get it.

I'm just looking to get it for about $10-$15 since I'm using it as a backup phone. Will check craigslist as well.

^Here's a 50% coupon after 2 seconds of searching: CrackBerry.com Promotion
Locally will likely be close to $10-15 if you're past the "free" TouchWiz version.

just pop a sim card in and see if it works before you unlock
don't know if they change that or not but thats how it was.

If you try to use Odin to flash an older firmware, it will brick you phone. I read this on xda-developers. I've never tried though so I cannot comment on the legitimacy of that claim.
