[Galaxy Note II General] EmptyArea:
I'm battery testing the n7105 today. But considering the excellent n7100 battery life it would have to be drastically worse for me to be unhappy considering the DC-H (lte is only good for resale value!)

I'll also, after it drains from 100-10%, be unlocking it from Orange and trying a custom kernel and sdexternal2sdinternal mod.

and then next week I'll return to stock to check it doesn't show as modified.

That, for me is all my questions answered. Then I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope a generic patch is design to make n7100 roms work (currently they work but with no radio/modem.)
[Galaxy Note II General] apn3a:
sweet, im anxiously waiting for the results. I was waiting for the n7105 because LTE is launching soon here in Greece (even with very limited coverage). However, if the battery life is not as in n7100 even with LTE off, i will just get n7100. Fingers crossed!

FM radio in UK

I've just become aware that at least some N7105/LTE Note IIs in some countries don't have FM radio ability. Indeed I've seen some talk of it on this thread. But has anyone personally got the UK T-Mobile (or Orange or EE - I assume they're all the same) LTE Note II N7105 version, and can confirm whether or not it has FM radio?

The spec on the Orange sales web site mentions an FM radio but I'm not convinced they haven't just copied that from the non-LTE version without checking. I'd love to know if anyone can confirm this one way or the other. No FM radio would be a deal-breaker for me and I'd just have to accept locking myself into 3G-only speeds for another 24 months.

Thanks!

I got my N7105 from T-Mobile UK and it has no FM radio app
[Galaxy Note II General] bitoclass:
Thank you very much - can't be any clearer than that! I guess I'm off to a third party for my Note then...
[Galaxy Note II General] Chivalryyyy:
um... have you tried a 3rd party app ? just to see if its just a missing app opposed to not being to pick up radio at all ?
[Galaxy Note II General] Pyr0x64:
I tried the free version of Spirit FM, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Tuned it to a local radio station frequency after choosing UK regional band, but there was no sound.

If anyone has anything specific they would like me to try, I'd be happy to oblige

Spirit FM works for me with headphones, on my Canadian galaxy note 2 without the FM app also. But the FM radio app ain't from market. Is spirit FM using actual radio or Internet?
[Galaxy Note II General] Pyr0x64:
Spirit FM uses actual radio.

Can you tell me if you changed any settings and what version of the app you have please?

I'm using the latest one on market v1.4 its just the one channel the app does. FM radio by Sutton chin on market just stays at preparing screen
[Galaxy Note II General] Pyr0x64:
That's a different Spirit FM app which streams a Christian radio station using data.

The one I linked to uses actual radio and can be tuned to all stations

I have been using my 7100 for about a month now. Got it the on release day in Hong Kong. I have been very happy with it. I have a 7105 arriving tonight on CI32 hand courieried from Hong Kong. =D I will post my experience. It will work on Fido or Rogers LTE network which supports LTE2600 Band 7. I hope the battery life is not too bad as I am still impressed by the 7100 battery life. After a full day of my typical use from 8am to 2pm I am normally over 35%.
[Galaxy Note II General] tonyfong.sg@gmail.com:
good

u are right
[Galaxy Note II General] nm8:
I have packed my N7100 and been waiting for collection for 2 days. I wanted to return it and get the LTE version. But further reading suggests there's not a single N7105 that will work worldwide so I have reopened my package and decided not to return the N7100. Maybe the note 3 will be LTE multi band.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
[Galaxy Note II General] cosinav:
Unless Samsung is releasing different versions of the GT-N7105 (correct me if I am wrong), I believe that it IS the international version that has LTE support worldwide. With the exception of stock firmware localized for the region the hardware is tri-band LTE support on 800, 1800 & 2600mhz. I have had 4G coverage in Asia and Europe with this phone, haven't travelled to the USA recently so can't confirm that. If the carriers are using any of the above frequencies for their 4G network, the N7105 should work on it.
[Galaxy Note II General] nm8:
I intended to get the N7105 to use it in UK and in USA, but the wikipedia link above says USA carriers use 700 and 2100mhz band which means the N7105 bought in Europe will not work anyway.
[Galaxy Note II General] cosinav:
I think wikipedia might not be quite up to date or correct with all the carrier frequencies. I found that for some carriers i've used, the frequencies they quoted was incorrect. I think best to check with the carriers directly.
[Galaxy Note II General] snabben:
The version i bought in swden seems to have 800/900/1800/2600.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
I'm looking for a N7105 & the "bands" thing is a constant pain, can i ask you where/how you checked what bands your phone works on.

Is it in the menus?
[Galaxy Note II General] snabben:
I checked the spec. Dunno if they was the truth though in store. My 4g isnt working yet so might need to return it.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
One thing I've noticed since the release of N7105/7100 is the stores, sales teams, write ups & printed specs on providers websites are not reliable information.

I WOULD however trust what it says on the phones packaging/box but there's less & less spec info on boxes recently.
[Galaxy Note II General] speculatrix:
I am expecting to receive an Australian N7105 as sold by Kogan Australia in a week's time, so I will report whether there's an FM radio app, and how well it works in the UK on a few carriers.

I am with Vodafone, and EE are not rolling out to Cambridge for some time, so no chance of me testing any LTE, but I want to be future-proof.
[Galaxy Note II General] nm8:
My N7100 is now on its way to its origin. I have finally decided to get the 7105 and hoping in the near future its just a matter of flashing modems etc to change the frequency bands of the LTE.

Apparently there is a new N7102 coming out very soon....
[Galaxy Note II General] cosinav:
N7102 is the dual sim version of the Note 2 for the China market only. There will 2G/3G version for China Unicom and 2G/CDMA version for China Mobile. There will not be an international version. So whether there are additional language support is still not known yet. Plus chances of rom development aren't high.
[Galaxy Note II General] E90 Commie:
I bought the N7100 when I visited Sweden. The choice was easy for me: the N7100 is the "standard model" meaning that it is the main version that is offered in many markets. The N7105 LTE is a "special edition" with far less developer support even if ROMs for the N7100 should work.

I don't see any reason to get LTE before:

1. VoLTE is implemented.

2. The device works with EU and US LTE.

3. There's no special editions - there is just ONE standard version with LTE.

I hope that the Note III, N7200(?) will get LTE as a standard feature and that it will work in both EU and US.

To me, good developer support is more important than LTE. Even if I browse the Internet etc, I prefer to have a device with good ROMs etc rather than sacrificing that just in exchange for highspeed data that is severely capped (in the US).

Another thing I certainly don't want is carrier branding. LTE devices often comes with that "feature" and is therefore out of the question.

So N7100 is my choice but I will jump on the LTE bandwaggon when Samsung release a standard N7200 LTE (Note III) without hassling with special editions like now (N7100, N7105).
[Galaxy Note II General] zacharysblubaugh:
Its rumored a chip will be released next year that will be similar to quad band on gsm only its for LTE meaning one device would work with all LTE networks

[Galaxy Note II General] E90 Commie:
That sounds great. A device that can offer LTE on the AT&T and T-Mobile networks paired with EU compatibility, VoLTE and being the standard model (N7200, i.e. no special LTE versions, just the N7200) is what I want next year.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
What i want next year is a N7202 ... as above but with dual sim :D

FYI, sounds like madmack has figured out how port N7100 ROMs to i317/N7105:

With that I am happy sticking with my i317 as it is cheaper and easier to get here in the US.
[Galaxy Note II General] zacharysblubaugh:
Cheaper!!!

I didn't care about cheaper I just saved my money till I could get what I want (I actually started saving for the gs3 and now have enough but the gn2 was just way to interesting to pass up)

[Galaxy Note II General] kebabs:
The 7105 is the RoW (or Rest of World) model, meaning LTe is places like Europe, Australia. Uk etc

The North American LTE models vary by carrier and you'll find them usually with the SGH-XXX naming convention.

I only get a gig of data which I burn thru quite easily on 3G so I opted for the basic 7100 model. No point inhaling all that extra grunt if u can't use it.
[Galaxy Note II General] JoeCastellon:
Hi guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I haven't been able to find a solid answer.

I live in Central America, my carrier is GSM on 850MHz band for both Edge and 3G. I am wondering if I could use the Sprint or Verizon version here, as according to GSMArena.com, the phone appears to have both CDMA and GSM antennas.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowrelic:
I'm not understanding how kernels and ROMs connect. Can someone give me some extra insight?

[Hardware] <-- Unique to every phone

--

[Kernel] <--- Tells the OS how to talk to the hardware

--

[ROM] <--- Slightly confused. Is the OS in the Read only Memory, or has this term changed its "street" meaning?

I understand that most ROMs (e.g. CM7 and CM9) include both the kernel and the ROM, but can you flash these separately too?

I have a 1.5 year old thunderbolt that's rooted, and has CM7 which is based on gingerbread. I believe HTC has also released the kernel as open source, which is probably the reason I have CM7 :)

Anyway, I guess what I'm looking for is an answer/guide/forum that explains why I can't install newer versions of android onto the already working/open source kernel I'm already running. Is it accurate to view the kernel as all the phone's drivers, or just the CPU driver? If that statement is true, why can't I load ICS or Jelly Bean onto my already existing set of drivers?

I'm thinking about starting a Wiki on this if 1) it doesn't already exist, and 2) I can wrap my brain around it enough to share with others!

Thanks to anyone with a response!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You are correct about the ROM, but ROMs also include the kernel (if it didn't, or no kernel was flashed separately, the device would not boot). Yes, other kernels can be flashed on your existing ROM, but it's not necessarily going to be compatible.

Sort of, but there's a lot more than that. See here and here. Later versions of Android will require newer drivers,etc. which the existing kernel won't provide (they'll be outdated). Back porting and additional coding is theoretically possible, but insanely difficult (many times). Even after this some things may still not work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowrelic:
Thanks for the insight, I was able to get a lot deeper into this with those links. For anyone else wandering down a similar path, you might as well stop now! Here are a few links:

http://www.iteachandroid.com/2012/01/what-is-firmware-rom-and-firmware.html

So, if anyone else is still listening, I do have two more questions:

Do any phones have truly open source drivers? (a.k.a. higher probability of allowing old hardware to work with new android OS)

Is there any way to determine which phones will be supported by the custom-ROM community early on? I know the Nexus line doesn't have vendor modified code, is that the direction which would have the highest probability to stay at top of the Custom ROM curve without upgrading devices every year?

Thanks again for any insight! I hope I'm posting this in a Newb-Friendly forum!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
For both your questions, the Nexus-line devices would be the way to go. They usually have everything working on new Android versions the soonest, and Google always releases their code, etc.

I can list some of the reasons that I've switched away from all Apple products and settled on the S3 and N7 for my daily drivers..

* 3.5 - 4 inch phone screens too small for my taste (love 4.8 !)

* Real multitasking in Android

* Widgets

* Superior notification system

* Standard USB charging and data connection

* Ability to copy files to/from device with regular pc file managers

* Sideload any app at will

* Can create/run my own apps created with free open source tools

* Can load any keyboards I wish (Swype, Swiftkey, etc)

* Can deal with a wide array of email attachment types

* Haptic feedback when desired

* NFC and Wi-Fi direct

* Choice of numerous high quality launchers

* Much higher level of customization in general

* More choice for many classes of app, Google doesn't block

"competing apps"

On my Galaxy S3 I could be listening to music (with any music app), be logged into an irc server, connected to a Teamspeak server, logged into my pc at home via RDP, watching a video using pip, and composing a text message all at the same time. All apps would be updating and playing in real time.

The iPhone 5 can't even come close to pulling that off...

You will get 2.5-3 hours screen time with this phone. No doubt.

Ahhh okay. So the Iphone I assume just pauses the apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Not your fault for interpreting things that way from the above, but it's not exactly like that for iOS 5 multitasking:

So, iOS 5 allows multitasking - with various boundaries and restrictions compared to Android OS, IMHO. In general usage, you'll probably tend to see more parallel tasks running in a typical Android phone, depending on how demanding or diverse the attention of a user tends to be.

How effectively iOS manages those various tasks vs Android's multitasking scheduler is a different story, though . . .
