Leechoonhwee · Oct 28, 2012

Since we're on this topic. I know that Samsung have upgraded the LTE chip on later shipment to rev 1.2. Anyone already having that?

My galaxy note 1 was from lg korea....but due to the lack of support I decided this time to get the international version of the phone. ...who needs lte when wifi is available so many places nowadays

Hi All,
Since this seems to be the only GN2 version available with 32gb internal storage, I am feeling a strong temptation to buy it. However, I do have some concerns I am hoping you owners can address:

1) Is the DMB antenna obvious? I looked at the Samsung Korea site, and most of the photos don't show it. Does it retract or detach in some way? I know I won't be able to use it in the US so am hoping it will be easy to forget about.

2) Does it have a FM radio receiver like the international version?

3) Is the user experience the same as the international version if English is selected as the default language?

Ideally I would like to eventually be able to flash an international rom into the device, but I know that's not possible now. Are any of the current owners expert enough to offer an educated guess as to whether it will be possible in the future?

Thanks for your help and advice.

I have the shv-e250k 64gb, the DMB antena is not obvious. it follows along the contours of the unit. it's also retractable. not sure yet about the fm radio receiver, but i don't think it does. at least i haven't found it.

Until dev get their hands on the LTE version you have to live with it. I'm sure the Korean Note 2 works on all bands except USA if that's what you're asking.

The shv-e250k works in the USA (Virginia/Washington DC) and gets 3g. LTE won't work though. At least not until these telephone companies keep their monopolies of the bandwidht. I'm hoping that T-Mobile or MetroPCS might roll out an LTE in my area at the frequencies that my unit will work with.

I have an E250L rooted and running a decent ROM. I'm waiting on us to get a forum so we can have the nice ROMs and kernels ported!

I have a few question for owner of the shv-e250k.

im using a e210k korea s3 lte, we have the problem that network setting is only accessible through a secret menu with the use of a code and password.

as for network features, outside of korea when set to 4G, you can only use 4g, if outside a 4g zone there will be no signal, it will not downgrade to 3g and 4g is data only, no voice over 4g, but in korea these works normal.

when the network is set to auto outside of korea, you cannot receive 4g, 3g and hspa+ is the best it will go, but in korea it works normal.

the above feature is not a error with my phone but will all korea s3 used outside of korea.

just one question, is the korea note 2 lte (shv-e250k) the same as above, or is it just like the international version.

thanks in advance.

Hello What is the difference between SHV-E250S and SHV-E250L. Is it possible to flash a custom firmware for this unit? Is it possible to flash the firmware on the 7105? Sorry for my English. I use a translator.

problem with my E250K

Hey guys

I recently purchased a galaxy note 2 E250K phone. But it seems like there is either a software issue, or probably it is still locked

- everytime i boot up the phone, i get that annoying OLLEH logo (instead of the galaxy logo)
- when i try and access my vm from the number pad, the number 1 button does not have that voicemail icon, that indicates its a VM button, in addition, when i press and hold the 1 button, it asks me to create a speed dial, not enter the VM number
- when someone calls me, and i reject the call, it hangs up on them, not forward them to the VM
- i have some apps still show korean language, even though i changed the language to english
- i called my cell phone network provider, they have reset my account 6 times, no help

Any ideas of what can be done?

I was told that my phone could be still locked by a contract from the KT mobile provider in Korea

i am in a desperate state right now, since i have been looking for solution for a month now, and i cant find any.

Is there anything i can do here?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Wait, so I'm trying to read between the lines here. Can you make phone calls just fine? If so, your device is unlocked.

Every single problem you listed, is because you have the stock Korean dialer and the stock KT rom, with some Korean versions of those apps.

Actually, none of those problems are real problems. It is working as expected. If you want to change those bullet points, you would need to get either a different rom (make sure it is safe for your korean note 2). Or you can do it individually like replace the dialer with something that knows how to call voicemail with 1 for your carrier, and handles rejects by sending to vm, replace the animation screen. You see Korean words for your apps, because the versions of those apps are korean versions. you'd need to replace those apps with english ones.

SHV-E250L is a CDMA/LTE model. SHV-E250S is a GSM/LTE model. I don't think the SHV-E250L works overseas. I'd really love to be wrong on that though.

DudePharaoh · Dec 16, 2012

yes you are right.. i am able to make calls and receive calls normally.

and actually i never thought about having korean version stock apps.. would that apply to the boot logo too? can that be changed?

i am still new to this (finding which ROM, dialer app, etc), so please bear my ignorance..

Is there a ROM that i can use that would convert everything to English? and still allow me to use the VM feature that you know of?

Thanks again for response

thanks.

But the VM thing, i dont think it would work for me.. I want the basic functionality, which is going to the dial pad, hold number 1, and it dials your provider's vm. I live in the netherlands, so ATT VM app would definately not work for me.

As for the kernel thing, i am new too, so what would installing a different kernel do? what changes would it make to the E250K?

thanks

I think what LucidMike mentioned, makes sense. Getting a custom rom
but the question is, what ROM that would be safe with the E250K?

I found the Omega one, but no where it says if it would work for the E250K or not..

any input would be appreciated

Thanks

cpacfeguy · Dec 16, 2012

I meant to setup for using Google Voice as the voicemail and using the *#60s codes to tranfer missed calls to Gv.

The thin with the KerneI is that it made my unit Way faster/snappy.. But You are rigth there are risks.

Shame we still don't have a forum.

Teamleader 2.0.2 and Milan 3.0 are the two latest updated ROMs and both work flawlessly.
