[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanostreak:
I got mine yesterday from an eBay vendor. It has an Arabic instruction manual and an English one. The version shows

Model number GT-N7100

Android version 4.1.1

Baseband version N7100XXALIH

Kernel version 3.0.31-259982, se.infra@SEP-138 #1, SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 2 02:04:58 KST 2012

Build number JRO03C.N7100XXALJ1

FCC ID: A3LGTN7100

SSN: -N7100GSMH

Despite my tinkering with the APN settings and visiting an AT&T store where I got a micro SIM for free and associating this IMEI with different phone types in AT&Ts database that have LTE, I cannot get LTE to work although I'm in an LTE area.

I do get download speeds up to 7 Mbps which is not bad.

Everything else is great about the GN2 and a considerable step up from the GN1: Google Now, long battery life, Near Field Communication, instant responsiveness due to Android Jelly Bean and the Butter Project (better frame rate synchronization, triple buffering and repeat touch anticipation). The GN2 seems slightly slimmer and taller (hello iPhone 5) and the entire outside, including the bevel and screen edges have a very elegant brushed graphite appearance with a lot of "rounded corners" that luckily lack the odd steps the GN1 had. The back is a new flexible polymer which looks and feels good ("liquid metal"), provides good antenna signals and the ability to swap the battery on the fly (rigid back plates are a design oddity that requires the phone be sent in for service (Apple) or it just fails (Dell Streak)). The stylus is more sensitive to different pressure levels and has learned new tricks some of which border wizardry. In another Apple-leske turn (LED behind seemingly solid aluminum), there is a red and a blue LED that shine through brushed metal at the top indicating battery status.

I'll probably sell it once the AT&T version is officially available because I do want great network speeds and state of the art hardware.

Only the n7105 has lte and not the n7100

I have seen the device in the t mobile store in the uk and i can confirm that the n7105 is lte and the n7100 is only 3g and hspa+ hope this helps
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leechoonhwee:
I guess there will be development for the LTE once it's released after 15th October. The tricky thing is that in LTE version that are 2 sub models for different part of the world as apparently they used different frequency for LTE network.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebring5:
US variants will have different model numbers and different LTE bands than GT-N7105.

I have GT-N7100 with LTE frequencies, however i dont use it since am running on old 3 G data plan
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viniturb0:
GT-N7100 does not have a LTE CHIP only 3g and hspa+ if you go to settings and mobile networks where u can chose which frequency to use it should mention use 2g/3g/4g or only 2g or GSM. the N7100 doenst have this only 2g/3g and HSPA+
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GizmoFreak:
I was told by samsung store guys that 4G should work on N7100 but since 4G is not available in my country so I can't say anything.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargator:
Tried checking with T-mobile and orange stores in a couple of towncentres here in london , the sales people in both shops said they do not have the 4g version as yet. They are expecting stocks by early next week.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
I've decided to get a Note 2. I am trying to figure out if I should sink $679 on an international version or just want on AT&T to get it on subsidy (I have an upgrade available). I don't so much care about LTE as my speeds on HSPA+ are just fine.

Anyone know if the AT&T version will have the Wolfson DAC? Part of me just wants to grab the international Note 2 and be done with it...as I'm sure the AT&T branded one will be riddled with crap and slow to update OS versions.

Then there's the international LTE version that will drop very soon...at a premium ($775 - ouch).

What to do?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffs99:
When you say international LTE version, I'm sure you mean N7105, which supports LTE, but not AT&T LTE as mentioned many times here and in other posts.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liviococcia:
Hi Members, I'm trying to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for use on the UK's '3' network, but I want an LTE version for when 3 transmit 4G/LTE.

After reading these posts, are we saying that the GT-N7105 would work, and have the required frequencies, or is there subcategory specific to the UK and '3' mobile in particular, if there is a further sub model what is it, and is it for sale unlocked?

Also, am I correct in thinking that having the LTE speeds and functions can only be achieved because there is a specific LTE chip built into the phone, and that having say, the SNote2 GT-N7100 version could never be unlocked, or it's firmware hacked to turn any LTE functions/frequencies on?

This is the ref of the one I bought on Amazon fr: N7100 Galaxy NOTE II 16GB NFC LTE.

Since there are differents frequencies for LTE depending of the countries, the 7105 version should be designed for specifics country? Or not :/

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotmoincn:
Just take battery into consideration. People using the LTE version in HK are complaining how battery goes down much quicker compared to 3G version.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liviococcia:
Trouble is, he states it's AT&T LTE 700/2100 MHz frequencies, and although in the UK it's not completely known what networks will get, and keep there alloted LTE frequencies, I think EE (t-Mobile uk/orange UK & 3 uk) are likely to use 800MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz and 2.6GHz for mobiles phones, but some hardware like 'iPads' may only work on 700/2. 1Ghz, so it's hard to find a short term future proof product, but from what info I've search on the net I choosen to take a chance with the GT-N7105 LTE international version.

It looks like it will still work ok on the 3G side of things, and hopefully work when LTE is sorted out amongst the providers, as far as any performance difference was encountered between the N7100 (int) and the N7105 LTE (int), I cannot see it being anything related to hardware as both phones are the same, and that maybe any loss in performance is mearly that the LTE chip is in use, if this is the case, maybe any future software updates may correct any issues.

I've taken a risk on this N7105 LTE purchase, hopefully for the first hurdle to cross, the phone will work properly for me under '3' s network when in GPS/3G/H and H+ modes, and then when the time comes for '3' to broadcast it's LTE signal it again will hopefully work for me..... But as I say I've taken the risk to purchase this phone.

Just a bit of info I picked up, but as I've stressed don't take this as gospel...

http://www.zdnet.com/uk/4g-in-the-u...oming-and-what-this-means-for-you-7000001819/

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm8:
@liviococcia

where did you get the N7105 ???
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liviococcia:
Hello nm8, I've purchased it but haven't received it yet, I only ordered it today online.

I'll post the details if, and (hopefully) when I receive the phone, giving details where I ordered it from, and if it works ok on '3's 3G UK network, I won't post anything yet incase I've been had, but I think it won't be sent out for a good few days...

.....I'll just have to wait and see.

Regards
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liviococcia:
Hi nm8, just to update the thread.

I received the phone yesturday (model GT-N7105), it came via Hong kong, Paris, then into London delivered by FedEx, the website i ordered it from is called Mobicity.co.uk, and there service was great(thanks Mobicity), so it took around 10 days.

When it arrived i just put in the battery, my '3' microsim and Micro SD flash card then turned on the phone, it started up in chinese but i knew the first setup screen was a language chooser (tapping on the first line gives a list languages), and continued the setup.

Once at the homescreen, it's at this point it was showing the signal bars, and under 'settings>about phone>status' it was reporting the 3 network but was not reporting any 3G /HP/HP+ signal in the notification bar, so i could'nt connect onto the internet but i could make a telephone call.

I then connected it to my desktop computer to update the phone, Samsung ' kies' software loaded and updated itself (including a new driver for the N7105), the software reported a new firmware update so i accepted the update, this took a while to download and install.

Then i started to get a 3G/HP+ signal in the notification bar (it was very intermitent at first, showing itself then disapearing for long periods of time), when 3G was on i had no problems connecting via the web browser, so i knew there was very little possibility of a compatibility issue, but more a fact that a new device was being used on 3's network

servers.

Once the 3G signal was more stable, i then left the phone alone untill this morning and so far it's been working normally now, the way all my previous 3 network mobile phones had worked, so for me it's working fine at the moment, and hopefully i'll be ready for the 4G/LTE signal when it comes to 3's network.

One last thing, if you use Swiftkey 3 keyboard software, you might find it does not stay as the default keyboard when you turn the phone off, apparently this is a known bug of Jellybean 4.1.1 and is rectified in the next update 4.1.2 which should arrive soon, i hope.

Hope this info helps

If you want to buy an international version of the Galaxy Note 2 LTE (7105) then go to www.shopbot.com.au for example and then search for "7105"

It will give you the sites of a few companies selling the 7105 which has the LTE (you will need to check if it has the correct band for your countries LTE, in Australia we run the 1800mhz band and the 7105 has this)

Got my phone yesterday in the mail and it is working fine on 4G/LTE after i entered some APN settings. My phone was shipped from Hong Kong by the company "Think of Us"

I am not sure if anyone else has thought of this or wanted this. Getting some features over to HTC Amaze ROMS like the lock screen animation when you lock the screen it looks like a tv turning off. The way the lock screen looks the status bar just some features I found cool to add to a ROM.

[Asus Transformer TF700] GregAndo:
Hi All,

Having owned a Galaxy Nexus, and getting Jelly Bean some time ago, I was expecting a lot more from Jelly Bean on the Infinity when it came to interface fluidity. My Galaxy Nexus was a lot smoother - transitions and the notification menu especially.

But then I started to notice - in apps - the notification menu is actually very smooth, but not at the home screen. All transitions were still very slow however.

I had quite a bit of a play around and nothing seemed to improve the performance. Then I think I found something, and I want some people to sanity check me. I use Apex launcher (performance was still just as slow with the default launcher). In it's options, you can disable wallpaper completely (which you cannot do on the default launcher).

When I do this...I finally get the greatly improved fluidity I was expecting. It's not perfect, but the difference is huge.

Is anyone else able to confirm this? It seems strange. I was not using live wallpapers...just a static wallpaper. How much difference can a wallpaper make?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Malkaridae:
High resolution wallpaper can slow down performances due to pictures taking space on the RAM. Thus high definition pictures can take quite a bit of data ~10MB. Though that doesn't seem to be a lot...
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregAndo:
Well I have tried using a smaller image, but I expect Android is up-scaling it to full resolution. The anmation was much less smooth. Once I disabled the wallpaper again, animations were smooth again.

Does anyone else use Apex, or a launcher that can disable the wallpaper to test this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] androidxen:
I just use a 1x1 pixel of black, pretty much "removes" the need to draw the wallpaper.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregAndo:
Did you notice a perceivable improvement in performance as a result of using that wallpaper? It seems likely that Android will stretch that 1x1 pixel out to fill a large canvas of black, which may not give any performance increase so I would be interested to know.

I would also like to know if I am the only one noticing this difference? Maybe no one else really cares about it except for me!
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
I use Apex Launcher Pro. I notice no difference whether I'm using wallpaper or not. Everything seems nice and smooth to me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I would say you shouldn't expect to much from the Infinity. The Nexus 7, being a Nexus device, will always be faster than any other devices out there. The Infinity with it lousy flash storage and a full HD screen will never be able to catch up with the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 in terms of speed and fluidity.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregAndo:
I somewhat agree...it is certainly pushing a lot of pixels. So my expectations have not been too high. In fact, I have really been pleasantly surprised. However - for the most part - I don't believe the I/O limitations should be affecting this tablet that much. Obviously there will be some effect...the same issues I was seeing before are still present...but I still do expect some improvement from JB.

That said...I am actually seeing it...but only with the wallpaper disabled. This is what strikes me as odd...it is just a static background image...and it feels like a bug.

Maybe I should just keep it off and wait until Key Lime Pie? :P
[Asus Transformer TF700] rikc:
Disabling unused apps and clearing their data helps a lot. If you cannot disable see if you can "uninstall updates" first after that you should be able to. If you're rooted like me you can disable even more stuff using Titanium BU.

The difference? Everything is loaded immediately on startup (i.e. no calender widget that takes 5 sec to show). Balanced mode feels like performance mode, I can go on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zenaxe:
What benefit is clearing a disabled app's data? My typical method for disabling something is to "freeze" it with TiBU and skip the OS menus altogether. Is there some additional benefit I could gain by clearing the frozen app's data too?
[Asus Transformer TF700] vtec2k7:
I was one of the people having slowness issues with their device but a couple of days later i figured it out. I went into the settings - apps - running and cached apps list. My ram was down to 100MB at some points. The 1GB of ram doesnt seem to be enough but we need to make due with what we got. So i installed Autostarts and disabled all the startup apps and any other apps i dont need when i change wifi state and all that other useless stuff. Google+ would run almost every 2 seconds, Maps aswell. So i disabled those apps from running at bootup and such. Now my available RAM is at 400MB constantly and it is running crazy fast. Opening the recent apps list and clearing those apps is super fast now. Also disabled some of the animation effects that jelly bean puts in. I personally am more concerned with performance then quality.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bosotros:
I noticed every app has notifications turned on by default (settings/apps). I don't know if it matters but I've been turning it off on everything I don't use notifications with.

[Asus Transformer TF700] hit173:
I kinda laugh when I hear that it is pushing a lot of pixels so that's why it isn't smooth.... take the iPad 3 for example higher resolution, crappier specs and crappy iOS but it runs so smooth that it makes me want to trade in my infinite for it. I will have to jailbrake it to be able to do what I like but the experience will be better.... was just playing around with my friends iPad 3 and **** did I get me tinking.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
Dude, you should seriously do some homework on Anandtech to say that the iPad 3 has crappier specs. In term of SoCs and graphic performance, the A5X chip in the iPad 3 is the most powerful SoC on a tablet right now, even the upcoming Snapdragon S4 Pro is unable to compete with it. I don't have much love for Apple, but we need to consider facts. If you consider raw computing power, Tegra 3 is even behind the iPad 2. In order to drive that many pixels on the iPad 3, Apple had to include a humongous SoC as well as much bigger battery, which explains why the iPad 3 is thicker and takes longer to charge. For your information, Tegra 3 is still stuck with single-channel memory while the rest of the industry have moved on to dual-channel memory early this year (look at Snapdragon S4, Exynos 4, OMAP 4)

As much as I dislike the current situation, there is not much of a competition going on right now with SoC. Currently, on the tablet front, Apple has the most powerful SoC on the market (A5X). On the phone side, the A6 chip is also the most powerful SoC on a phone as well. I am severely disappointed at Qualcomm and nVidia for failing behind Apple so far on this front. Not much is known about Tegra 4, but they'd better bring some Kepler to it, otherwise nVidia will become irrelevant.
