About to buy this phone from etotalk, just need a couple things confirmed:

1. Is the microsim slot the 3G slot?

2. Does the 3G work on 900/2100mhz? (Australian Optus)

3. Does the 2G work with 900/1800mhz? (Australian Telstra)

2. Is the $5 etotalk custom rom addon basically just stock with root and gapps?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pptt:
1. yes

2. amaysim works on mine so i guess optus works

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 白い熊:
On the contrary, Sir, it matters a lot. The reason being, as I said, me using an extended battery and the extended battery has a special back cover with a bulge for where the battery protrudes out.

Thus if the battery on the N7102 would be located a little bit to the side for example, I wouldn't be able to fit the back cover over the extended battery and use it.

That's why I'd like to know if the battery is in the exact same place.

In that video, at about 3:20 minutes, the guy is working with the first SIM (Vinaphone) and above, in the notification bar, there is a "H" (stand for HSDPA) enabled; when the guy change the SIM and switch on the second one (Mobiphone) the "H" remain enabled.

This means that both slots can operate simultaneously on 3G?

Also, can someone who already owns this phone, confirm that it is a DSFA (Dual SIM Full Active)?

No, not everyone has had a good experience with etotalk, at least one person on here has received a faulty phone & they didn't honour his consumer rights telling him to go to Samsung.

You will find the reason they don't take PayPal is most likely to stop you getting a refund if there is a problem.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'll just buy from ebay, seems like the safest option.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pat.:
Yes but not always cheap on eBay, RE etotalk, any purchase with a bank card is normally covered by your bank if you have a problem, maybe check with the bank, they are often happy to advise.

I can only talk for the UK where any debit card transaction is covered (including when you use PayPal where you don't have any funds in PayPal & the funds come straight off your card) the bank will get the payment back if you feel defrauded.

What is a best/optimal set of instructions

POST UPDATED WITH LATEST INFORMATION:

Hi people,

I'm fairly new to these forums and rooting. Just got myself the N7102 after reading up on this thread. I have a few questions I'm hoping some of you more experienced users can help me with. I'm currently working in China, so I don't foresee too many problems with using this phone as it is. However, I also travel quite a lot internationally and would also like to be able to use PlayStore etc for apps.

1. What's the best root method as described in this thread? There's a post by JoeySieh (sp?) (page 4) and MattheoWong (page 19), both of which described step by step on how to root the phone and install gapps. Which of the 2 methods are better, or are they basically the same?

Update: I used MattheoWong's method and the gapps provided by JoeySieh, and had some help from Emblema (also in this thread) .

2. After using one of the methods above, will I be able to use 3G in China AND in other countries?

Update: Can confirm that 3G slot works with 3G and GSM (2G) slot also functions normally.

3. Do the methods above return the phone to a semi-'basic' state i.e. default apps are in English, searches use Google etc.?

Update: Some templates are still in Chinese, but the rest are in English. Also deleted some built-in apps via Root App Delete app, available in Appstore.

4. Does GPS work outside of China/HK/Taiwan?

Update: Not tested, will test more once I travel overseas.

5. Will I be able to use both simcard slots to make calls (I understand 3G is the micro sim line, whichever that is 1 or 2)?

Update: Both slots are working normally.

Also, some info on the phone in case this helps:

Version: 4.1.1

Baseband: N7102ZNAMA1

Kernel: 3.0.31-539006

Build: JRO03C.N7102ZNAMB1

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghu:
Hi all, have read through the thread (thanks for all the contributions and info!) and would like to pick one up whilst I'm here in China to replace my single SIM N7100. After using a friend's dual-SIM CoolPad for the past month for roaming and a local SIM, and the cost of importing one to the UK (taxes, shipping, etc), I may as well buy locally.

I was wondering where the Beijing buyers purchased from (official Samsung outlet or elsewhere) and the current street price there? I have the option to buy from Amazon.cn and get it delivered to an address here in Inner Mongolia (current Amazon price is 4353RMB for 16gb grey). I'm guessing the street price will be higher although looking around some stores, price ranges from RRP 5669RMB at D-Phone to 4450RMB in some electronics malls which, as with most most things in China, can be bargained down.

I'll be in Beijing in a week or so, so could also buy from there. Will be having a further look today and trying out some of the clones for fun.

Appreciate any info :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LZBong:
Hi mate, I got my phone from an online retailer. Not sure if you can read Chinese, but Google Chrome should cover translation issues (translate whole page). Basically, 32G at RMB4599, not sure how long delivery to Inner Mongolia would take, but to Shanghai, I ordered it at around 10pm the previous night (Thursday) and received it by Friday afternoon.

The website is yihaodian.com/item/6867943_1 (Please add the usual http and www thingies cos I'm not allowed to post external links)

Do bear in mind the issues such as no Google apps etc, but there are various methods in this thread (refer to page 4 and page 19) which can help you. I managed to get mine working without too much trouble, even for a complete rooting newbie like me. (Thanks Emblema)

I'll either order from there (next day is possible if I order pre-1800) or pick up one locally for a bit more. Most places around here want the RRP of 5799 but I've found a reputable place that isn't trying to sell HK grey imports that don't have local warranty. There's also quite a few shops trying to sell used/returned models with dust specs under the covers and random apps installed.

I've rooted/flashed my current N7100 plenty of times and managed to root and gapp the CoolPad 7235 I was using here, so should be able to sort the N7102 out.

3- I installed the APP GPS Test, to get my GPS fast syncronized (like 10-20 seconds) to the sattelites (without that, it has spent like 10 minutes to get connection);

Might sound obvious but is it seated correctly (is it a micro SIM in the 'big' slot?)? Does it work in the other slot / another phone?

I picked up my N7102 this morning and rooted / gapp flashed it fine. When I first rebooted after gapp flash, the SIM management app said the big SIM slot was empty although it wasn't and was previously working fine. Another restart fixed this.

I'm now using a China Unicom prepaid SIM and my UK Vodafone SIM fine (and have tested both SIMs in both slots).

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dwokfur:
Not just standby, but active as well. You can switch back and forth in between two concurrent, ongoing calls for each

SIM at the same time. Most dual SIM phones can't do that.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghu:
Yes, but as Emblema and others have said, only EDGE speeds.

Since I don't use roaming data due to the cost this is fine for me. Local SIM costs are cheaper and quicker so go in slot 1. Plus, if I forget to turn off data roaming the slower EDGE speed will keep my unintended data roam costs down!

If you're still having issues, have you tried other foreign SIMs or your current SIMs in another dual-SIM phone?

It fits properly, big sim in big sim slot. It works fine on my Note I. My cousin also has a rooted n7102 and he has the same issue. I did the rooting for him. You mentioned flashing if gapps which I didn't do cos I manually installed them. No custom recovery installed. Any ideas? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghu:
That's puzzling. Not the SIM since it works in n7000.

It's a pain but I would reflash back to pure stock non-rooted and test from there. If you use titanium, the restore should be less tedious.

Re. The gapps flash, it was done in the same sequence (odin to flash root/cwm, boot into cwm recovery, flash gapps, wipe caches, then reboot) so the initial 'no SIM' thing could potentially be from something else in that sequence... Or by doing all of them. Before the second reboot I also renamed the two files mentioned in the posts above.

Hope you can fix it soon enough.
