2025 galaxy s3 owners. do apks still work on your phone? obviously i mean the older builds of the apps. thanks!

I'm probably the last person to keep using this phone. Its an S3 Neo, on its 2nd OEM battery. I'd like to keep this running as long as possible.

Any idea where I can obtain a new battery? Wasabi Power's is out of stock. Alternatively, any other compatibles that fit or can be rigged to fit? I've been mulling soldering a couple of 18650s in parallel to its contacts.

I've looked for roms for the SCH-I535 but I can't fin any for this model. I need a newer Android version to install the apps I need, but right now it has Android 4.4.2. I'm looking for Android 10 or above if possible. Can anyone also provide me with a walkthrough as well?

i was a little ignorant about a phone, decided to charge, but after pluging in, nothing, when i plug into powerbank, the powerbank lights up than goes away, what could have happend to it? is it the battery gone below 0%?

Basically I think nougat is probably too much for it. I have also tried marshmallow, but don't like it. I would rather have the best KitKat ROM. I heard KitKat ran amazing on the S3.

The Samsung ROM is full of junk you can't delete from them and also T-Mobile.

There's gotta be a performance rom out there where the links aren't dead yet. Please help me out.

I have TWRP working and I did get it rooted before I started playing around.

I've also heard that there are updated kernels and modem drivers, some unified thing called d2lte but everything is dead link after dead link.

There's gotta be someone that can help. Assume I know very little about modding. Like I could never make my own build of anything. Wouldn't have any clue. I got lineage 14 from a lot of research. Also gapps pico is good. Anyway I figured I'd ask.

My uncle give me his old phone. It only show that on the screen. My uncle thinks it's virus?

I was wanting to get a galaxy s3 or s4 but I was also wondering if it was still supported on any verizon plans.

How do I sign into google on my Samsung s3 Mini? It says my browser isn’t supported. I’m running androidOS 4.2.2

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L from T-Mobile that's been unlocked and works with all Canadian carriers, even Freedom (I'm in Canada). I want to be able to use social media apps like Instagram and especially Whatsapp (which I think needs at least Android 5), but this device only has Android 4.1.2. I read that later versions of Android can be obtained by downloading ROMs online and setting them up on the phone, but that this process involves changing other things on the phone like the firmware, bootloader and other stuff that I'm not at all familiar with. Can anyone provide a walkthrough of all the things that need to be done and how to do them in order to get a stable ROM on my S3 that isn't too taxing on the battery and works with Google Play Store as well as social media apps?

I have an old Samsung Galaxy S3 that I had when I was in middle school. I found it recently while cleaning and I really want to get all the photos off it. The problem is that I don’t remember the password. I have tried countless possibilities of what it could be but nothing seems to work. I don’t know another way to unlock it without doing a factory reset. Does anyone have any suggestions that wouldn’t involve losing what it currently on the phone?

And if it is legit, from what region is it?

hey i found my old s3 laying arround and i like to use it but i found that its pattern protected and i don't have a home buttun to go to recovery mode and reset it and i didn't had usb debuging how can i do this ??

I already installed beta lineage OS 19.1 (Android 12L) with mindthegapps but battery life outside plane mode is horrible. Cell standby drians like 10% per 10 mins and wifi only drains like 10% per 30 mins (Airplane mode is like 1-2% per hour). I already tested the batteries and they have good capacity (~7,2 Wh).

Is something like Android 7 or RR-N better for the battery life or is it just bad with cellular standby in general? Does somebody has had the same experience with Android 12+?

Will my battery still work

I have downloaded reddit for my samsung galaxy s3 the version is 1.9.3 is still supported? Or there even newer version supported My s3 is running android 4.0.4

Trying to recover data from an s3 i have. The battery was bad and bulged so i bought a brand new one but the power shuts off before i can get to the home screen menu. Really just interested to see what videos and music etc i had on there. I have a macbook and an iphone 11 currently

I own a T-Mobile Galaxy s3 (i535) running Android 4.3 jellybean, are there any custom roms I could use? I tried looking for roms on Google, but they were all for the Verizon variant.

Hi everyone, so I pulled this bad boy out of the drawer and wanted to check my old photos from when I used it in middle school. I got a new battery and everything, but 12-year-old me was apparently a jokester who played the longest-running prank on himself. Now I want to unlock this, but I don't want to do a factory reset – that defeats the whole purpose of getting this up and running. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can remove this password on this phone? I swear it's mine 😅

Picture is what it should look like
