Modems Review for India - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I9100 fans.
I have started a thread on discussing the network/modem reviews in India for I9000 phones.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744277
However I wanted it should include different galaxy phones details also.
If any one of you can help me getting this extended to i9100 forum please let me know (either by replying over here or can pm me also.)
I would like that person to post this over here and we will make an new option in form to include the phone type too.
Thanks.

anyone?

[Q] Dear MOD [ Skyrocket HD ]

Since skyrocket HD is going to launch , can we ( galaxy s2 hd e120s/k/l owner ) have our own sub section or section for this device ?
Why don't you have a look at the list of moderators at the bottom of the forum main page & PM one of them ? The chance of a mod randomly reading this post is kinda remote (despite the thread heading). Mods are busy people.
While it may still get lost in the static, I'll throw my voice in for an S2 HD LTE (or E120S/K/L) board.
It looks like the phone is headed to Europe late Q1 or sometime Q2 from my reading, and seems to have some following already for the [much much] later US release.
Yeah i heard that this device will be in EU soon
Pm a mod, or post in the right place, like here, maybe in the request post, or even better the this thread
Thanks vekya, sometimes I get lost in here
I posted about the SII HD LTE being considered in the voting thread here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416406
If other SHV- E120S E120L E120K owners want to help, give it some love in that thread.

[Q] Im trying to find the Best Completely Stock SGS II. Help :/

I'm trying to find a completely stock Samsung Galaxy S II (2) PORT/Rom for daily use for the Vibrant if you guy here on XDA can gladly help me I would most definitely appreciate it. I rewlly want the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 2 STOCK Rom/Port. I Have searched Google and Xda but can't find none please give me some links if there are any thanks in Advanced!!!!!

Why on earth would you want a stock rom, other than as an emergency fall-back? The JFD stock, at least, is terrible. Try Cyanogenmod or an ICS build. With luck, your GPS might even work.
---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------
PS : in other threads, I have seen two references to people bricking their phone with an alleged newer stock rom from samfirmware.com, forget the exact name but it has a K instead of a J. Caveat emptor.
You also might have better luck posting the question in the SGS2 section...
It sounds like you're trying to find the GS2 stock rom for your Vibrant? The GS2 stock ROM will most likely not work on your Vibrant, they're different devices, sorry.
I mean to say that i wanted to know where i can find a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S II port for the vibrant . I really want one the looks just like the Tmo SGS2!!!! :-/
You're probably going to have trouble finding a non SGSII port that's stock since not many were developed and none are still supported.
jellete's heathens sgs ii clone might suit most of you needs though (and it looks like you can still actually download it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061811&highlight=sgsii

Korean version shv-e160l

Hi guys, I think we should have a separate section here so that we could share our experiences with this particular model...I am very sorry if I pissed off any moderators here but since there are no threads regarding this model I felt like I had to do it
I wanna start by telling you that I bought this model for 550$ from Seoul just a week ago and I am very happy. Actually my aim was to get Samsung Galaxy S 3 but I missed it by a week But then saw this phone and said lets give it a try. And guess what , I am more than impressed Anyways after checking couple of forums I saw that official ICS Package was out I upgraded it and then rooted by the help of this forum. Definitely better performance and nice tweaks. But this came with one small issue ; sms problem. when there is an incoming SMS it says "No Caller ID" . Again after little bit googling I found the app called Handcent and it did the trick. Until an international or custom Rom comes out this could be the solution I suppose
One of the biggest differences of the Korean version is you cant go in to the secret menus by typing the secret codes in to the keypad so that caused some trouble while looking for the imei number and trying to change the SMSC ...
Lets share our experiences here so that anyone who has this version can find it here without too much hustle...

This is a bit off topic but..... this link....
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3569&c=samsung_shv-e160l_galaxy_note_lte
shows it to be basically a ATT type Note....... so other than country specific software quirks........ it is just a 717 note...... I will leave open for now but I think this will not go far, since there are not a lot of Korean Note user to interact with........... If you could please root your phone and provide a sys-dump and kernel and modem extraction would be very helpful to the community....
Thanks Oka1

I already investigated , the blocks dont seem to be the same , the kernel is not the same either , probably needs to be reoriented or somethign and the usr key layout (obviously) needs to be changed . so with a modified updater script and proper kernel by flashing only system it *should work*
Why is this in the development thread? Rom/Mods/Modems only from what I am aware of.

Well oka1 posted on it and is his decision to make if the thread is closed or moved, maybe they will get the system dump so others with the Korean note can benefit from it.

Why don't you just make a bounty thread? If money is involved maybe it might convince a dev to try cooking up a rom and making a custom kernel. It is always nice to get free development but money can motivate people. Put up some money and I am sure others will too and see if you can't get it done. I have seen lots of other threads on your model and I know everyone with your device wants it badly. Its worth a try anyway.
So if I was to unlock my i717 and took it to Korea it would work with their service providers? :s

hi
hi people, i use this korean model as well.
I am new to android (in fact, started 2 months ago) and not a native english speaker. So, i'm having a lot trouble with some technical words u guys use.
The thing is, i'm thinking of rooting my phone. but there arent much forums and threads on this model. I was wondering if the rooting guides here would work on my phone? and there are so many of em (also for i717...) ...
SOOooo, if possible could you quote the rooting guide (or link to thread) which will definitely work on my phone. i cant afford to make my phone obsolete
Help is much appreciated. Thanks
(btw, i'm from Mongolia. heya, fellow earthlings... haha)
Korean devs are at androidpub and matpclub, but not really serious development is there. Few kernel devs like tegrak and mostly cosmetic/porting from International ROM.
Korean note have 32GB/64GB variety, three diffrent carrier (SKT: HSPA+2100 LTE800/1800, KT: HSPA+2100 LTE1800, LGU: CDMArev.B1800 LTE800), hardware button, DMB, carrier specific addon plugins and frameworks, and pink note
and SHV-E160L for LGU, which is CDMA only(like Verizon). Pretty sure ATT note ROMs are not portable.

Reported for taking the discussion off topic.
Why would you even tell him? Better yet...why care? At least he started one thread for a whole model, to discuss all parts. He could be proliferating. Lets be nice here.
When there was no i717 forum, people discussed it in the Int. forum.
The i717R is discussed here...even though the forum is titled "AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717" as it should be.
Be easy on him. This is good for a chat, and it's about as close to the right place as it gets. He was honest about the fact that he knew there was no other place, and he was nice.
And his specific version has LTE and is powered by a snapdragon. So perhaps this truely is as good as it gets on XDA.

It'd be cool if you could post some pictures and do a hardware impressions review.
Thanks for understanding guys. That is the xda spirit that we seek here is the first quadrant standart benchmark that I had.
It is with the latest ICS and rooted firmware. Cant wait to flash a custom rom to this(if there would ever be one)...

hidden menu !!!
I was searching for an answer for my sms problem and I found out an answer for something else. I was not able to enter any secret codes for the system menus before now it turns out that there is a hidden menu placed by the korean network which you can enter by typing 319 712 358 and then when it asks fr the password you type 0821 and Vala! You have access to the system settings now.
Now here is the question I can not make a video call because my LTE/3G server dns is a korean server address. Does anybody know where I could find the network server dns addresses for the Gsm Networks...
i broke my e160s menu and back button by flashing i717 kernel. i was able to flash cwm and i717 roms but orientation and those buttons are not working. flashing back original kernel and firmware didnt restore those buttons. i could get the phone back working without those buttons. but now i have to use another app to trigger those buttons.

Hi , as far as I know you can unbrick or recover your phone from any kind of situation. They have released the tool to do that. I can not post another forum's link here so just check the chinese version xda which is koxda and use google translate. You can find a lot of info there but it is hard to understand because of the translation. So actually that is the main reason I started this thread...
Im Glad man that youve open this threat for us.
i also use this device. Galaxy note shv-e160..UNRAZ how did you fix your sms problem? need it badly?? please
As I have wrote before in one of my posts in this thread I solved this with the free app called Handcent sms where you could download it from the market I can both send and recieve sms with no problem. But one handicap is I cant use any Turkish characters nor can exceed the 160 characters limit. Then you see the failed sending the message error... I am waiting for the update which would hopefully solve all the miseries One of the guys in this forum installed Honeycomb from the Koxda forum and solved the problem like that but I dont like using old firmware while there is an update

SGH-I747M from Telus

Ok, so yesterday i bought a SG3 from Telus(Im from New-Brunswick Canada, so its Telus or Bell)... but the thing is, its not a I9300, its a SGH-I747M.... so i was wondering, if anyone knows about the hardware? Is it similar to the i9300? can i use the i9300 roots/recovery/kernels etc? Thanks

Thanks for the reply, this is a nice guide, but i already rooted the phone, thing is, i want to use a custom rom, and there is no forums for the SGH-I747M or whatever, so im wondering if the I9300 roms/kernels work for it
Sorry not sure if this helps you, but there are other S3 forums.
I would think the telus/bell/rogers devices are more similar to the AT&T version, as it is also designated a similar model number SCH-I747.
Link to the other forums here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1667
According to www.pdadb.net your i747 is similar to AT&T's S3 http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3602&c=samsung_sgh-i747_galaxy_s_iii_lte
BUT I would recommend you do a lot more research and ask the devs in that section before trying anything. As you will most probably end up messing your phone up in using something incompatible.

I would definitely not use anything meant for the i9300 on your device as it is not hardware compatible, different CPU (quad samsung vs dual qualcomm)

[Q] [ASKING] Korean Samsung Galaxy S III SHV-E210K USSD Code Running Problem

Hello everyone!
I'm from Indonesia. I have this SHV-E210K for about 3 months, and it is stressful knowing that I can't check the balance credit. I have search in any forum, and whether it's in XDA or any forum, it's still don't have the answer.
I have read that in S1 I9000 you can just disabling mobile tracker and USSD code will work again. But in this time, it's different matter. I can't use the method from I9000..
There is known problem in my Galaxy S III SHV-E210K with JB 4.1.2 or before at ICS that USSD code won't work. I faced this problem for many days and was unable to use some GSM services like balance checking etc. Normally in other phone, I can check it with just dial *123#, now since I using SHV-E210K the code won't work, so I must change my USIM to other phone to registering the data package or check my phone balance etc.
Please some one help me! I really need this answer!
*my Samsung Galaxy SIII SHV-E210K never being rooted, it's still official from the first time until now.
I know there is official thread about SHV-E210K, but not specific and not have diffrenciate thread page like T-mobile or any SIII with its carrier, so looking the answer from the member from SHV-E210 forum is too hard. :'(
Thread SHV-E210 is too silent, not like the others which is always crowded, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710084
I recently write the SHV-E210K review, feel free to come http://bay9091band.blogspot.com/2013/02/review-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-shv-e210k.html
please someone help me :crying:
come on man! please help me! :crying:
