Thanks! So you think this is a Good Deal? It is still a Note 2 right? I mean it functions the same and has all the features of note 2 but with some korean features?. Because as to what I saw on other posts, benchmarks does not categorize it as Note 2 and there are forums which specializes in SHV-E250K devices which looks like they are a totally different device compared with the international version of Note 2. I really really like to buy this device but considering the after service and support in case I want to upgrade the software or in case something might happen to the device, I don't like to stress myself looking for solutions.

Based on your experience what will you recommend? :)

Loving my note 2 and this forum!
[Galaxy Note II General] DudePharaoh:
this Samsung phone is the first Samsung phone I ever had, after 7 years of using Iphone.. starting from the 3g all the way to the 4s. And by far, the galaxy note 2 (SHV-E250K) is the best choice I have ever made.

so yes.. I would recommend it.. if you have friends who have it, u can look at their phone just to have a visual confirmation, that's my opinion

I did the same.

it took me around 2 months of research and reading and learning about stuff in regards to the phone, till I made my final decision to buy it.

I would recommend doing the same, not taking as long to decide, but search the forums for, issues, upgrades, goods, bads, hows whys etc..

maybe you can come across someone who has the same concern as yours, in regards to warranty, I cant give you more info about that.. sorry

some apps are made for the 7105 (international model) that don't say they would work for the SHV-E250 variants.. But guess what.. every app that says that, that I installed, works.. Especially Rom. When you do a rom upgrade or install, you SHOULD NOT install the modem version that comes with it, otherwise u will brick your phone.

but in general.. I am seriously happy with my choice getting the 250K with the 64Gb, and an additional 64GB sd card... I have a world of apps and stuff to install, without affecting the performance of my phone.. same applies with the 32GB.

good Luck

Hey i guys i would like share some good experience with my Korean Note2 SHV-E250L, i find out that is i have no 3G signal my phone drops to GPRS after research in the net i find out my phone supports also EDGE what is better than GPRS. So look around how i can enable EDGE support.

The first at all 1. Root my device 2. Installed Custome Recovery Flashed the 3. Ultimate ROM for AT&T (please not flash the modem will brick your note) 4. After flashed the Kernel sjkernel_1.06_Eng_kt. 5. go to the chinese website http://bbs.gfan.com/android-5666921-1-1.html show how you enable EDGE support.

How do you guys get around the 80 chars sms limitation?
[Galaxy Note II General] spidey24:
same here. is there any way to get rid of the 80sms limit?
[Galaxy Note II General] maynard14:
@spidet install a custom firmware bro like ultimate rom or milan 4 and the sms restriction will be gone
[Galaxy Note II General] Leechoonhwee:
Ok so custom Rom is still the way. Btw I'm not using Note II but another Korea phone and hence I asked because I know some tweaking of the framework file might work so maybe someone already knew what are the parameters to change so I can take reference from it. Seems like I have to go the more tedious way of porting cm to my device then. Thanks anyway. :D

There really isn't any need to post so many times on this thread, if someone had it they would of posted it for you, your only option is to pay samsung to fix it.
[Galaxy Note II General] omer7:
Sorry if this question has already been asked.

Can someone tell me why thr is a separate thread for korean phones. I saw a similar in GS III forum as well. Are these korean made phones not genuine samsung phones? Or r these clones?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note II General] IceRapture:
Lol. No, The Korean models are 100% "Genuine" and not clones at all.

They are quite possibly more 'genuine' than your galaxy S III considering Samsung, a Korean company, made them for Koreans.

Why; because the phones are slightly different. I could go down a list of things, but it's more fun to just say; Our Korean models come with built-in TVs.

Wikipedia calls the Korean models of your S III superior:

"The South Korean LTE models—considered the ultimate Galaxy S III model—share the 4G LTE support and 2 GB of RAM of the North American and Japanese versions, but come with the international version's Samsung Exynos 4 Quad SoC, in addition to the T-DMB module and antenna;"

[Galaxy Note II General] omer7:
Thanks mate :). Actually thr r separate threads for korean models, so i thought may be these r clones/copies.
[Galaxy Note II General] IceRapture:
I think I understood you correctly, and right, the phones themselves are slightly different. Thus we have different ways to root, and different issues to trouble shoot, so we have different threads. Most of the info for the america/international models is useless when applied to the Korean models.

Maybe similar to how there are different threads to the same phone model but different USA carriers (at&t vs sprint vs verizon gsIII threads)

Am I understanding you correctly?

[Galaxy Note II General] omer7:
Yeah right. I got ur point. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Leechoonhwee:
Well actually not that different I believe the N7105 stuff should be usable on the shv-e250?

Roms, recovery, etc should be the same as the share the same radio?
[Galaxy Note II General] IceRapture:
The radio antena on the international versions is different from the DMB TV antena on the Korean versions.

True, many things are likely to work for both versions.

I can't speak much for how or why they are different (wikipedia has some hardware comparisons), and I know even less about the Note2, but my experience with my Korean SII is that most things meant for the internation versions will not work on the Korean versions. I permanently bricked my SII finding that out the hard way, I tried to root but found meself in a bootloop, flashed an international kernel to fix it since i couldnt find an original korean one, it didnt turn on or do anything after that. Samsung had to replace my motherboard to get it working. Apparently I can convert my SII to the international version (Is this possible with the Korean Note2s also?) and then have everything work, except that I'll lose the DMB tv, and maybe it wont be able to read Korean texts anymore. (I live in Korea, so that would be an issue to me...)

If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know as well.

Sorry if my question is kinda noob. Thanks!

No. Lte in the US is different than any other continent. If u buy a gn2 in the states. Lte will only work in the states. If u buy a gn2 from korea then the lte will work in asia and europe

I am using E250L and where can i find the totally english rom. Can i flash with at&t official rom?
[Galaxy Note II General] DudePharaoh:
you can.. but DONT,, and I repeat.. DONT install the modem option the installer offers (if it is the Aroma installed), anything that relates to AT&t don't install.. otherwise u will brick your phone

All the other good stuff, like youtube, or multitask viewer, etc.. u can install

Edit,,

remember, those Roms, the AT&T and Tmobile, etc are for the US version of the phones.. but as long as the ROM would work with the international 7105, then u r good to go

[Galaxy Note II General] Judefensor:
Hi Maynard, another Filipino here. I actually hunted for and bought an e250L Note 2 because it's the one specific Note 2 model I know that works on the 2100 LTE band that Smart Telecom is optimized for. Just pop in a SMART LTE microsim, connect to the signal in an LTE area and... you've got 4G! I can verify that it works great, although the 4G doesn't play nice with calling and texting, so you have to switch to 3G to do those. 4G is superfast but gobbles up battery life like crazy though so I usually just have it on 3G unless I'm downloading something big. I also posted more about my e250L experiences on the TipidCP forum.

Which brings me to ask the posters in this forum. Any easy way to add a shortcut on the home screen or pull-down to quickly switch network mode between 3G and 4G?
[Galaxy Note II General] Leechoonhwee:
Lol. Right now Korea Note II already have custom Rom so everything works! I believe Korea text shouldn't be an issue with most 3rd party sms software?
[Galaxy Note II General] DudePharaoh:
agreed.. 3rd party apps would help with using korean SMS, heck even if u choose the korean language as the default language it may work.

As for using international roms with the NOTE II,, yes you can

I have the E250K, and i am using the Internetional 7105 ROM called the Ultimate Rom, all of it is English.

No issues at all using this rom with the phone, AS LONG as i dont choose to install the Modem that comes with this rom, because they are totally different.

If you stay away from installing any Modem that comes with any International ROM you then you should be good to go.

It took me few weeks researching and reading what other people did with their phones, till I decided i am gonna go for it.. and the more you install, uninstall, delete, etc.. the more you would know about what would work for your phone, what kinda questions you ask, etc..

[Galaxy Note II General] spidey24:
sorry for that takeoutt.. i was just telling to my fellow countrymen that we have the same problem before.. we have a korean version of samsung e250L. may questions to him is that after i flash it with the so called jedi xp rom all my problems are gone, that makes my model changed from shv-e250L into sgh-I317 with the korean version baseband. the only thing that bothers to me is that, there is no sim toolkit installed, maybe due to the baseband of the korean version. i want to flash the baseband or radio but I am afraid coz i've heard it will brick my phone. then, i havent tried the LTE connections here in Philippines coz the LTE prepaid sim of one the carrier here is not yet available. LTE only available to those who got their unit on postpaids.

e250L's LTE aint workin...

hello fellow android fanatics and kababayan!! this is my 1st post here in XDA and ive been readin this thread for quite sometime now...i purchased a galaxy note2 e250L 32gb from a friend of mine... the original firmware from lg u+ was not working properly here in cebu as it limits my sms to 80 characters and most of the time, i cant send any SMS or receive sms... so i tried flashing milan 4.0 and ultimate and finally moved and had a clean install of wanamlite... my rom's base is mc3 and baseband is mc8 ( e250LKLVMC8).... i noticed that i seldomly get a full bar on my phone when i turn the wcdma/lte/gsm automatic switch, and also, i dont get h+ most of the time... im using an LTE nano sim already from globe, which obviosuly supports LTE and already had it activated by a CSR from globe... also, my wifi is somehow slow, despite of using a 7.2mbps portable wifi tattoo modem from globe using my lte nano sim ... anyone using this type of phone that is experiencing such problem?? what can you advise me regarding this matter? im quite disappointed right now coz i cant make us of the full functionality of my fone.. i would really appreciate any form of help... ive read the entire thread but i found no solution that addresses my concern...
[Galaxy Note II General] Judefensor:
I have an e250L too. Seems your issues stem more from Globe and their network issues than the phone itself. Also, even if you're using an LTE sim, if your wifi modem isn't 4G capable, you'll still only get 3G HSPA+ speeds at best.

The main thing to consider here is that our e250Ls can only connect to the 1200 and 850 LTE bands. Whereas Globe uses only the 1800 band for LTE, so it doesn't seem possible to connect to their LTE signal using our e250L. If you really want to use Globe, then you're better off just getting an N7105 model (that can connect to 1800 band), which are much easier to find in stock anyway.

On the other hand, have you tried using a SMART LTE SIM? Their prepaid LTE SIMs operate on the 2100 band while their postpaid LTE uses 2100, 1800 and 850 bands. The e250L can connect to both the 2100 and 850 LTE bands so as you can see it should easily work with SMART, whether post- or prepaid. In fact, I hunted specifically for an e250L just so I could connect to SMART. The LTE worked as soon as I plugged in the LTE SIM, without having to change anything or flash a custom ROM. I'm still just on the stock ROM (although my unit came pre-rooted by the vendor I believe). I have no problems with wi-fi or either 3G or 4G signals. I also have another android phone with a Globe sim, and even in "Globe country" like Makati their 3G signal really is spotty, and even keeps switching to EDGE.

As for the SMS 80 character limit, I just installed GO SMS and use it instead of the stock messaging app. That's the easiest, simplest fix for that issue.
[Galaxy Note II General] richmack27:
whaoh!

thanks a lot for the fast reply kabayan!!

ill try purchasing an lte sim tomorrow, since the smart shop in SM here in cebu was already close when i arrive there.. anyway, im on unlimited data plan from my previous s3 that i got from globe and i had it changed to a nano sim in the hopes of rin=ding the lte bandwagon... tsk tsk tsk... it sure is because of globe and not due to my phone.. sayang naman ng unli data plan ko from globe.. anyway, im using the "4G" portable wifi from tattoo, and placed my sim there and have the wifi tethered to my phone on daily basis.. hehehehhe... is it also possible that the modem or csc plays a role in the strength of the signal captured by my fone?? i reallynotice that i cant catch H+ signals, only H, and no 3g..

i hope globe will upgrade their infrastructures and enable the 2100 and 850 mhz bands so that everyone can enjoy their LTE... Y_Y
