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!

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!!

Yeah, like the topic says... How do I know if my sgs2 is a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989) device?
mine is bought in Finland (Europe)
Well you'd probably only get the SGS-T989 in the USA because of it's AWS frequencies. T-Mobile in Europe uses same frequencies as everyone else so it would be a GT-i9100. You can always check under the battery instead of asking too, it say it right there what it is.

ah, thank you! I didn´t know where to look, so i thought it was better to ask.
Under the battery on the phone, it says: Model: GT-I9100 and SSN: -I9100GSMH
So that means it it a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989) device? =)

Umm, No that means you have a GT-i9100. If you had a SGS-T989 it would say that which is a T-Mobile USA Galaxy S2 device, you have a International (original) Galaxy S2 device. The T-Mobile (USA) one as you wrote is SGH-T989. AT&T USA is SGH-I777. There's also a Sprint one as well.

Hello,
Does anyone know what are the differences between I9100 and I9100N? I have been looking for information on I9100N but it seems to be sold on very few sites. It's not even listed on Samsung site nor Wikipedia.
Are the ROMs for I9100 compatible with it?
I have bought an I9100G and the site where I bought it from proposed to exchange it with an I9100N, that's why I'd like to know if it would be better to take that second one.
Get the original one or you will regret it. Also the roms won't work with it.

It's very hard to get the original one in France as Samsung France has only been sending the I9100G to resellers, and it doesn't look like they'll be giving the I9100 again.

Rubbish you can get the i9100 or the i9100P in France from these networks and some stores with open sim(simfree)> Only, Orange, SFR.. The i1900P has NFC support ..
Actually it seems that it was just the customer support not knowing what they were talking about, there is no such thing as a I9100N.

You actually mean I9305 which I own but I am from australia. There was a user from the US on t-mobile and he stated it worked Only on Edge... Dont ask me what Edge is.. I am thinking it is like 3G... Unfortuanetly the device will not work on your 4G network. One user purchase his from ebay for $800 I beleive it is still showing and here is the link. Location is apparently in Texas, Houston.... Only thing is its only in Black.. I myself have the Grey_Titanium which I love!... But hey if you love black gadgets your in luck!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...5-Jelly-Bean-4-1-2GB-Ram-4G-LTE-/221134136119
Will they eventually release it in the US? Should I wait and get this model or just buy t-mobile one right now?

I dont beleive they will officially release this I9305 in the US because you have your own S3 variant of the 4G already.
edge is 2g
but there are some regions of tmo that actually supports the 1900mhz band.

yup, the i9300 is indeed compatible with AT&T's 3G (i'm using it right now as we speak). In some regions, T-Mo's 3g also works, but there's a link somewhere that shows you exactly where the 1900mhz band is in use.
@OP
if you're going to get the tmo (USA) version, you should check out the appropriate forum for it (no sure what the exact model number is, but you'll find it). Flashing anything from this forum would most probably brick your new phone (due to differences in some hardware and software).

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.
