Hi,
I have just bought a Coreen Galaxy S2 4G LTE, hte model ref is SHV-E110S, I want to know if I can root it like the regular S2, and if I can install any S2 rom on it
Unlikely you can run any ROM on it, since it appears to have a different CPU (and probably a whole load of other differences), but in terms of root, you could try zergRush at your own peril.
thank you for the quick reply, I'll tray to find a korean forum.
Any Luck
Hey there. I have the same device and wondering the same thing you are. did you have any look in the korean forums?
Hi, I also have the same unit. I don't believe any ROM for this particular unit is posted here, but I would like to ask if the ROM for the first SGS2 (korean) is compatible with this one, 4G LTE...
Just an update of this thread with the same question...... Any news from our experts?
TIA
I think better to see in other thread. Because here is discussed international variant of Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100, that is completelly different with yours model.
Better to see in AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket threads, because its specifications close to yours.

SHV-E110S
Can i use the custom rom of of other galaxy s2 models with same speciications? Will that work? Mine is SHV-E110S. Can i use Rogers S2 lte or other lte models with same gpu and other specs?
Root
I was able to root mine with superoneclick however once I updated to latest ROM using Kies (gingerbread fb13) I was unable to root it. I tried superoneclick and doomroot (both latest versions). The display shows several errors along the lines of file not found. Doomroot would say it was done and device was rooted but it wasnt.
Galaxy Rom
Since I have free time and am not worried if phone is bricked (work will replace it for me heheh) I went ahead and tried to flash the ICS rom for a Galaxy SII on to this phone. I also tried an older gingerbread rom I had found. In both instances phone would reboot and come up with a screen saying update (in white) and a bunch of korean text. I was able to reflash the stock rom downloaded from a korean forum and phone is back to working as it should.
Now I love the phone the way it is aside from the 80 character sms limit and if one of the guru's that knows how to modify these things would be interested in seeing if they could modify the stock rom I would be more than willing to pay (with in reason) for there effort to fix this one thing that makes an otherwise wonderful phone kind of lame.

What SMS character limit ? there's no such thing, phones have to adhere to GSM specifications and those say 160 characters max for one message. You probably have it set to write text in a Unicode-based language, which uses 2 normal characters for one letter (2 characters represented on 8 bits each = one character represented on 16 bits).
Go to Messaging, Settings and under SMS settings check "Input mode", it should be GSM alphabet to give you 160 characters/SMS.

The Korean version is CDMA preffered as Korea uses Usims. However a standard GSM sim works fine. When you go to settings under sms there is only 2 options..unicode and automatic and no matter which you chose it converts at 80 characters. In every phone I have had from Korea at 80 characters it converts to an MMS which is kind of a hassle
Aah, I see. Does it do the same with a 3rd party SMS app, like Go Pro SMS ? I remember there was a similar bug with some releases of Gingerbread (a SMS longer than 160 characters would be converted to MMS instead of multi-part SMS) and the easiest fix was using a 3rd party SMS app.
I have tried go Pro SmS and a couple of others with no luck it still converts at 80 characters.

I stand corrected. had not tried Go sms Pro it was another program however I just downloaded Go SMS Pro and I can send standard length messages. Thank you very much
Hidden Menu
In case anyone is wanting to access the Hidden Menu here is how:
from the dialer pad enter *#*#319712358#*#*
When prompted for password enter: 774632
a hidden menu comes up with many different options. I havent gone through all of them as I am not sure what does what. I do know there is one more screen in the sub menus that asks for a password but I do not knwo what it is.
Hope it helps

Hello,
Me and my trusty G1 have recently moved out of the US. Im running CM's latest, and just like the stock ROM, phone numbers stored in the phone have the xxx-xxx-xxxx US format. This format does not apply to most countries outside of the US. So here when someone calls (or when im trying to add a new contact) phone numbers tend to look weird since phone numbers here have an XX-XXX-XXX format (8 digits total), and so they end up showing as XXX-XXX-XX, which is just confusing.
So in short, is there any way to stop the dashes from showing up in the call log/ caller id/adding new contact form??
Thanks alot!!
No one has the same problem or has heard of a fix to this???
Hi, my G1 & I moved out of the US recently, too. The way I did it was to change all the numbers while logged in to Gmail in my browser. It was tedious but it lets you use a proper keyboard and mouse instead of trying to do it on the phone. All you really need to do is type the new prefix/country code once, and then cut and paste it in front of all the US numbers. Gmail will then just push it out to the phone right away. Hope this helps...
My biggest concern isn't fixing the already existing numbers in my phone book. My concern is when adding a new number or when someone not in my phone book calls, the number looks confusing because of the existence of the dashes.
But thanks anyway for your suggestion.
I have MoreLocale2 installed and when i changed it to my language i got the correct formatting.
Hey I just wanted to bump this thread to point out that morelocale 2 worked like a charm! so thanks a lot for the suggestion
Sorry to bump an old thread but i'm having exactly the same problem and its driving me mad I cant get MyLocale 2 working, it doesn't take the dashes from my numbers
Old thread, but might help someone: I also had the dash problem although in Gmail my contacts had no dashes. Changing the locale from US to UK removed the dashes for me (Home/Settings/Locale and Text/Select locale/ English (UK)).

Thanks aygunes, this is a realy easy solution to have the numbers format without dashes.
Find a way to export your contacts to a CSV file or a single vCARD file. Then you can just use something like a shell command:
Code:
cat file.csv | tr -d '-' > cleanfile.csv
or just edit the resulting file with any text editor and import back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417184
[EDIT] I forgot that probably ALL phone numbers are stored without dashes in the (latest) contacts database.

I have a similar issue. I'm in Brazil and I'm using a Galaxy S 3 that I bought in US. Our numbers are stored as (XXX)prefix-XXXX-XXXX.
When I receive a sms or a call it doesnt show my contact name... only the numbers. How can I change this?
A friend has a S3 he bought in here... when he dials any number they appear without dashes and spaces like this XXXXXXXX. When I dial it appears XX XXXX-XX.
Anyone could help?
Hello!
I've got a little problem, which is not life threatening but somehow irritating..
I've been using few roms: gingerreal, both CM ports, coderom, flash, and maybe more and everywhere I get the same problem with SMS.
I'm from Poland where we use some weird characters like "ą", "ś" or "ł". As you may know, when you use this kind of chars while composing sms you get your 160 chars sms cut down to 70chars because it's being sent with unicode alphabet (or something alike).
Now I know that once I had a rom (maybe it wasn't even a custom rom) that even when I used those weird chars wasn't sending them. The whole message was "encoded" as a GSM alphabet.
I know that there's a setting in stock sms app to use GSM alphabet but it isn't working when I use GoSMS which doesn't have this setting.
Do you have some way to solve this problem? Maybe some of my countrymen here can enlighten me..
Cheers!
ps.
stupid rules to not allowing me to comment roms in dev section...
You can try another keyboard. Like HTC_IME mod (it can replace characters you want with another set of characters) or hacked Swype 3 that just doesn't input ą, ę etc.
I'm using Swift Key 'cause it works for me better than any other. It's predictions are priceless 'cause it learns my style of writing from all my mails and sms..
I want to use dictionary and write with polish chars but force sms app to convert it to gsm alphabet. I know it can be done 'cause I had it before..
Any other ideas?
Have you tried the Handcent SMS app from Market? I don't know if it can replace Polish characters.
Now I noticed, that all the time since I've got Galaxy Ace the Input Mode in stock Messages app is GSM Alphabet and all messages that I sent and received has Polish characters.
So every time you thought that you were sending one msg you really sent 2 or even 3... That sucks, doesn't it?
I really like GO apps so I would rather stick to less predictions with swift key than change the sms app.
Shame it can't be set to send without our 'precious' polish chars :/
Every nokia I had in past could do that..
I am using gosms for remove czech diacritics in sms. In polish will work probably also.
where and what setting are you using to disable czech chars?
Gosms - setting - advancedsetting - setting for sending - switch on national setting. Then supported language( polish) and choose czech for sms.
I have gosms in czech, so name of setting is translated by me. But i hope you will find it
Daaamn, you were right! Of course I tried this few times already but this time (since you declared that it works for you) I restarted the gosms app and only after THAT it worked!
They should have written somewhere that you need to restart app so the setting would make effect..
Much appreciated, thanks!
Thanks for the tip man, in Brazil we use special caracteres all the time, after install Go SMS i noted this bug with limititation, i put czech national settings and after restart the app works great again, thank you.
Hello!
Sorry this is my first post and i hope that someone can held me.I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with the Dragon ICS V2.0 .Its a great Rom so far but i dont have a sms signs counter.My English is not so good and i hope you know what i mean.I have no flatrate for my sms and i need a counter where i can see how many signs i have until the second sms start.The Android Version is 4.0.4.I like the Dragon Style and i hope someone can held me to get the counter.If this is not possible i use Handcent.
Do you mean you want to know how many characters you are up to for your message? The default sms app does not show this information all the time. It will give you a warning when you are down to the last 10 characters on the top right of the input box.

Yes that is what i mean and someone in a another forum told me that on Android 4.0.3 the full(0/160) counter still including.Its strange i think.On 2.3.5 i also have the full counter that looks like 0/160.
Maybe the german ics default sms app is different than others?I dont know.....
If I recall from memory it does have the counter on all the time on gingerbread, but definitely not on ICS. No the stock sms app is the same all round, perhaps another app was used?
I have a Sprint/Credo CDMA Samsung Galaxy S II (SPH-D710) with ICS, not rooted.
The phone used to have smart dialing (aka T9 dialing), where by typing the first few letters of a contact name in the phone dialler, that contact would be selected. Great timesaver. This was a stock feature, not something I got from a 3rd party app.
This functionality is now gone, i.e. all I get is the numbers I dial.
I have not installed anything or knowingly made any setting changes that could have caused this.
How do I get smart dialing (T9 dialing) back?
Thanks!

This post is currently in the i9100 forums. You should probably go to the SPH-D710 (aka Epic 4g Touch) forums to get your question answered.

Thanks for the link, I couldn't find that forum when I looked for it.
I would very much like my phone to stop converting SMS to MMS once it hits the 3x160 chars limit. I'm quite sure the previous version of this ROM based on ISC 4.0.4 had this option in menus somewhere. The 4.1.2 version does not it seems.
I read somewhere that the conversion behavior would be removed in Android 4.1.2 in general, so it would always just send long SMS, so but so far that is not me experience.
I have tried flashing the MMS.apk that is usually referred to on this and other forums, but this only makes the app split my messages into separate 160 character messages instead of sending one long SMS. That is not a good fix - it's almost worse.
As this is a low level setting somewhere in the OS, I am not sure if it would work to just flash the ICS 4.0.4 version of the MMS.apk - I'm guessing it's identical to the 4.1.2 version (more or less, if it even works at all) and you still have to find a way to toggle a hidden setting somewhere else.
I don't have enough posts to post directly in the nAa release thread, so I'm hoping someone here can help me, or bring the request into the official thread - the request being to restore/add the menu option to stop the message application from converting SMS to MMS due to size.
This is for the X10 mini pro

Bah, I take that back! This actually also just splits your long messages into separate SMS's. *sigh* :crying:
