Your Samsung Galaxy S3 can be upgraded via custom ROM.... You'll need to root your device and install a custom KitKat ROM... You can get everything you need from Google ✔
Nani. Me sef wan root my s3 install custom rom to see if it'll improve the battery life plus other features.

I need to download and install clockworkrom first then get famroot. Root it then load the downloaded custom rom from recovery right?

I wouldnt mind if you can list me the proper steps for more clarity. I don tire for symbian. Thanks.

And again. Whats the best rom from experience so far you think I should get?

Hmmm... Well some of these branded devices blocked their Hotspot service... So there are two things you can do to solve your problem....either you Install Foxfi app and use that whenever you wanna tether, or flash a Custom ROM that allows the feature ✔

Well if you're into battery life then flashing an AOSP ROM would be the best option for you, bloatware free.....

First you'll need to root your Samsung Galaxy S3, probably via flashing CF Autoroot file via Odin.... After which you flash the latest TWRP recovery image..... Then you can start talking of flashing ROMs ✔

How do I root by flashing via cf auto root. Or is it the same as using famroot to root? If yes, how do I flash the latest twrp recovery after that?

Just need the steps then I'l do it or you can refer me to a link.

Throw away the swollen battery. What can be done to prevent such swelling? Buy original batteries and use regularly.

To flash a Custom ROM refer to my post above..... You'll need to root first.... Are you rooted ?

Is the device rooted....? If you're rooted then just flash a Custom recovery (TWRP) and after that just select any custom ROM you desire and flash (you can search XDA for ROMs)

Well if the seller installed a custom rom that would mean the device is already rooted, if that's the case you can just install another custom ROM that will allow you access to WiFi tethering..... There are many ROMs for the sprint Galaxy S4 you can flash.... Just check XDA website and choose ya choice,

International Version isn't something that the phone is running.... Your phone is either the International Version or the branded version.....

The International Version of Samsung Galaxy S3 has a model number of i9300 or i9305
