Hi, i hv a question. If i buy the galaxy s2 from korea, will it work in Canada?
Whatever you do, do not buy a Korean SGSII. The Korean SGSII is highly localized with a different type of SMS that Canada uses right now. It's going to be a real pain in the butt trying to get it to work in Canada which is why I suggest getting an international version or a US version when it comes out.

Korean galaxy model support frequncies are follow.
UMTS single 2100
GSM 900/1800/1900
so, if your carrier frequencies are UMTS 850/1900 , you can't use it.
(i heard that some of carrier support UMTS 850/1900)
and Our korea SKT model using their own SMS(SK-MMS).
(KT model support OMA-MMS)
Finally, i can NOT recommend you are using to our korean galaxy using in canada.
And in Italy? would it be usable in Italy?
Thank you guys

What's your phones carrier? Three(hutchison)?
I think your carrier support umts 2100, you will use korean gs2 use in italy.
And i recommend that shw-m250k(korean kt carrier model).

Hey pulverizer it seems as though you have sgs2. Do you happen to know the sound quality difference between sgs voodoo and the sgs2?

Just to hijack the thread, does anyone have a source on a compiled SHW-250S/SHW-250K firmware so I can mess around with it and reflash it back just in case I need to send it back in for warranty?
If not i'll just have to do it myself from the open source release, hmm

System dump I guess? And repackage them Odin flashable (.tar)
I have not tried yet but probably work.
I would do that if I wasn't a silly and flashed before dumping the original firmware. Carrier specific settings I can get easily enough from talking to a service rep, but they'll probably raise eyebrows at the odd firmware without any of their branding and the giant yellow caution sign, lol
No big deal atm, i'm still fooling around.
Quick question... does anyone know if the ringtones and notifications and other media are available from the Korean SGS2?
I dont want the international version
Just the Korean version.. Thank you
Did I ask in the wrong forum/thread?
Anyone knows where or how to get a Korean S2. I wanna use it when I'm in Singapore
Sorry to bump an old thread but.
- what is the difference between a european/international and Korean SGS II ?
- How can I tell if this is a korean or international version? It's parallel imported from Hong Kong.. http://eking.co.nz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=300

Korean versions support NFC and they have an antenna. The device in the link is a generic SII, surely not a korean version.
dont buy from korea
just buy from canada made in korea device
same as me but different countries
hey guys thanks for that
To be honest - i am buying through a company in New Zealand which drop ships directly from Hong Kong. So I dont really know what version that will be. Will that be the korea or international version?
Any ideas ?
sorry for bumping a old thread. Any idea if I can flash a korea galaxy S2 with a stock international version Android firmware? or any custom ROM I can flash with? And how do I do it? I got mine when I was posted in Korea to work, now I am back to my country, the 80 character limit for sms is wasting a lot of my money. Any advice? thanks
Now that the SGS II is available in KSA, it's still not arabized, any idea when they'll release an update for that?
Another thing; since it's available in English version, does it have the hubs (game and music)???
Thanx in advance...
Officially available from samsung dealer?? because if its officially from samsung dealer it should support arabic.
I've been told that it's sold in carrefour and hyper, dunno if it's available in samsung stores yet!

sure it will work if it's an international version but not sure if it's locked on a certain carrier like O2 or orange, and yes there are free wifis in mecca in some places but not sure about medina.

I bought SGS2 from starlink in doha, qatar..i was told if i wanted arabic..i must go to samsung service centre to get the rom uploaded. I did not bother to go becoz iam already using madmack's arabic fix which is sufficient for me.

Is it working well? Any drawbacks? Is it worth the rooting, coz i don't want to root now...
Thanx in advance
I love this phone!!
I got the phone 2 days ago
All i have to say is that i adoooooore this magnificent device!
Stock rom is perfect, updated the cam firmware and working good now. No hardware issues as mentioned by other users, maybe i'm lucky
The hubs are in there but music hub is not supported in the country.
Doesn't have the arabic support, dunno if i should root to enable it thru Madmack's fix or wait for the original stock update.
Overall, best phone i ever owned!!

Hi,
Desperately trying to find out if wifi calling on Orange UK works via some sort of porting from the T-mobile US variant?
Is it included in Jelly bean?
It is a must for me due to basement living...I have found any info from Google about his.
thx!

This is the wrong section to be creating a topic for a question.
I'm on orange and afaik it's not available. You can do it on blackberry but that's it i think.
Hey,
On the HTC sensation I managed to get orange wife calling by using the t-mobile files but with the orange UK apk. They are made by the same company and rely on the same files.
If you can get a Rom with t-mobile wifI calling, I'd try that. Just look on my profile for the thread and just extract the apk. The other files will not activate wife calling.
Good luck!

Hello,
I was doing some research and I could not find a definite answer so I am asking the community that would know best. I just recently picked up a Canadian Rogers Note and I was curious if I could use the AT&T roms on it? Obviously I would not use the american modems or radios, but by using the American rom would it brick or cause issues once I booted it up?
Thank you for your time
you can use any rom on this thread...you can try jelly bean or ics...just make backup before

Why can't you use ATT radios? You sure as heck can. You can install the complete package if you want.
So, am raising call again to XDA~Community to rename forums to
AT&T Rogers Bell Telus Samsung Galaxy Note I717.
Just like S3 forums.

I'm trying to make sure if my variant of the note II is this one. I live in Puerto Rico and the company called Claro bought Verizon. so to my understanding this would be the verizon version of the phone.... I'm a noob to the note II and this company so I'm trying to make sure before I attempt to flash anything. so yeah that's basically it am I in the correct place? Under model it says I1317m I am currently on 4.1.2
No Verizons' version is the i605

It depends on the rom you have. I have an at&t rom running on my phone so it says different I605 although i'm on verizon.. Depends on the rom you are running and what you like.
If you bought it through Verizon it's the I605 if it was purchased through another company it'll be their model number

You answered your own question. You have the i317M. Based on this chart, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II#Variants, your model would be most similar to the ATT version.
