Beautiful British Columbia
I'm acutally using 3HK on my e120s. And yes, it's an S so my SMS and MMS works perfectly.
That said, when ever I switch from WiFi to 3G data, a stupid msg will pop up for a few secs telling me to choosing a proper telecom provider. I'm guessing the stock rom only wants you to use S.Korea carrier.
But everything works on my phone in HK. 3G, SMS, MMS all good.

Ok thanks, i assume this s version will work with Canada 3G then

Thanks
Drew

prodigiez...the issue isn't in the mms.apk it is in the baseband. I have personally tried multiple mms.apk from multiple roms but still no go. We need to find a way to use the E120S baseband files in the E120L. Check my previous post it should give you an idea of what Im talking about.

Drew...The S version should work on most GSM networks without any issues.

kalak , buy it at taobao.com if u know how to read chinese.. buy it from those with positive feedback.

guys , crt off and 1% for E120L at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20598531#post20598531
Guys...for those having problems buying the device and don't speak chinese or korean.....I would personally recommend using a "Taobao Agent", they are basically a middle man who help you buy from taobao and are mostly Chinese with good english skills. There are plenty of agent websites scattered over the internet but very few are reliable and fast. I'll be glad to recommend a few if needed.

Tc.

Have you actually tried just typing in the phone number instead of selecting from your contact list? cos' sometimes even on my 120s I need to type in the actual phone number (just numbers) in order to send SMS.

I have skt ver, just two problems at the moment:
1- my sms can't be over 80 characters
2- can't set my yahoo account from in-built app

Any suggestion?


Tried a lot of things and the best solution i got for point
1 was installing "go sms pro" even if i still can't send sms typing more than 147 characters,
for point 2 the only way it was setting the yahoo dedicated app from the market.

So can you get custom roms for the 120L?

The 80 character limit for text messages is a little annoying...

I've just rooted the 120L and the texts seem a little bit slow, on U+ but I'm not sure if this is due to rooting it...

I have the E120L bought on Taobao in China. The problem with the sms is it can only send 80 characters. If you send a sms with less than 80 char. there is no problem. Also any 3rd party software (like Go sms) will not work. I solved the problem by rooting it and flashing the Teamleader v1.1 ROM. now I can send 160 char. sms, but still no 3rd party software works. Using Titanium backup to remove all useless Chinese apps. There is still some minor problem but now it's a super great phone that has all the HD features working fine.

BTW I'm Canadian living in China. I can order things on Taobao for you.

What minor problems do you have? and are they caused by the root/rom? Just wanna now if it's worth my while if they're miniscule errors.

I was wandering how to update this device because the first day i had the phone i clicked on System update and i got some upgrading installed.
Now trying to do it again phone replays me: "failed to software update. Use a SKT USIM to progress update." and using Kies it says that "device does not support software upgrade by kies"

:confused::confused::confused:
