I have just purchased an I9100p. From what I have read the only difference is that it has nfc.
Does this then mean I can use everything made for the regular s2?
Will the s2 Sim unlocker from the market work?
Thanks

Another difference is that the I9100P is a bit thicker then the regular S2.
I had the regular S2 until last mounth and now i have the i9100p and some cases don't fit.
Cool. I didn't know that.
Ever had any trouble flashing roms?

Chinese version comes with no google apps (aka no market, sync, etc) and wont run normal i9100 firmware.
The version sold in the UK should be the international i9100 (aka the one most mods in this forum will run on).
^^What he said. So if you're wondering which one of the two to go for, I think the choice is clear, ie. the UK variant (International GT-I9100).
So the Chinese version won't work here in united states.

How about 3g or H+ and connection for outgoing and incoming calls?

Unlikely as they don't use the same mobile phone tech in china, they have there own stuff, which is incompatible with the 3G/3.5G(H+) used in the USA/Europe
So no 3g or h+ .

When I exchange to the one s, I'm obviously restoring back to stock via Odin but there is no way of resetting flash count. Would this cause an issue with t-mobile? This phone has way too many connection issues and the one s when I had it for a few days did awesome, unfortunately I jumped on the band wagon.

try return it and see...i have not have troulbe with connection, must be that specific phone or your area
Definitely not my area. Had the one s for a few days and reception was insanely strong. Bought the phone from customer care over the phone.

Would a specific Rom cause issues? I just flashed back to stock and it seems more stable.

Sacrifice signal strength for better hardware, its how it works. Get the crappiest flip phone in the world and it will have good signal strength if that's all you care about in a phone.
They're not going to check the counter. I can assure you.
How is gsm3 better hardware it's almost identical to the one s minus the screen and sd card and removable battery. I'm not bashing, I have the gs3 in my hands.

I tried multiple roms including ACOP CP2.1 and Black Star V and NFC doesn't work with my dads s3. I turned nFC on and android beam along with wifi and wifi direct. Any thing im missing? Thanks in advance.

Hey, I have the exact same problem. I have been trying different roms on my note for the past 2 days and its a no go on CM9, AOKP either. I have been trying to use NFC with my GF's stock ICS Note
Umm yea. NFC also known as (Near Field Communication) technology is built in to the phone battery. If u want to check it should say it right on the phone battery, our Galaxy Note don't come with the NFC battery unfortunately.

Umm our notes don't need a NFC battery man... The back plate has the NFC chip built on it. Galaxy Note i717 is the only Note with NFC.
I know it is possible but can't get it to work...

I ran collective cp1 and now collective cp2 - on my i717 and nfc worked in both
Loving its functionality especially combing it with Tasker
by the way it first didn't work for me until i realized it was my leather case - the case replaced the original back panel and the original back panel had metal strips that served as the nfc antenna - the replacement case did not have these strips so my NFC did not work until i replaced the original back cover

Are you positive that the pins are touching when the back is connected? Try pushing down on the back where the connections are

Ok. Maybe a little more specific? The only time I even tried NFC was at a SGS3 display at a Costco. They have 3 little NFC tags that when you set the back of the Note over them, it launches the browser to a tutorial on the SGS3. Other than that that, I've found no other use as of yet.

People having issues enabling NFC, did you get it to work? I just received a replacement Note and I can't get it to work. NFC worked great on my last one.

Thanks. I ended up flashing a near stock ICS ROM to test NFC and it worked in that ROM. When I received my replacement Note I put DAGr8's latest AOKP on it right away. Now that I knew that NFC was working I re-downloaded the latest release AOKP release, Sep 28, and flashed it but NFC wasn't working. So I re-downloaded the last 2 versions of AOKP, Sep 19 & Sep 28,verified the MD5 and flashed them over each other in TWRP. That got NFC working in AOKP for whatever reason for me :silly:
Maybe someone could link to a pretty 9/11 cm10 nightly and then we could try a similar idea. I would try it

If you're talking about the TracFone variant of this phone that is available directly through StraightTalk, then this isn't correct. (if you meant the i9100G. There is no such phone as the i9000G)
The TracFone variant that StraightTalk offers directly is actually model number SGH-S959G. It seems that it is most closely similar to the SGH-I777, and is likely just that; a re-numbered, re-issue of that same phone (for AT&T) specifically for StraightTalk.
If I'm right, and you do end up getting this phone, then do NOT flash anything from the i9100G forum to that device. It will at best, not work and you'll have to re-flash a stock firmware for that model... or at worst, you will brick it.
That was very helpful. I've decided to just get a GSM nexus and toss a similar in it. Thank you so much tougj

Hello.
I want to purchase a galaxy s2 from ebay, but under the model it says "GT-I9100LKADBT" and im afraid its not identical to the original i9100
I need your advice on this, help me decide so I can purchase it quietly with out being worried of purchasing a 'lower quality product'
thx.
Josef.
P.S
Under MPN it says GT-I9100LKADBT, wtf is MPN?
And under Network Technology it says EDGE, HSPA
I live in a country where we use GSM, Will it work?
The GT-I9100 is the international S2.
