Here you go.

All you need to know about the N7102 is in this thread.

Read to learn more about this phone.

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

It's true what us and hk have said, different market have different phones, the N7102 was made for the china market, and it does work perfectly well their, if you choose to use it outside of the china market, its you responsibilty to accept what is available.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmusatov:
mmm, realy ? But what about, for example, worldwide accessibility of mobile communications for those chineese people, who, for example often flies to usa ? )

Moreover, 850MHz frequency is in support list for this device, according to Samsung China official site. So, it's definetly Samsung's problem to solve. IMHO.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
Apply for roaming if you require access to countries outside of china, this works well, they don't expect you to use another countries sim card in this phone, thats why this phone is only sold in china, and not any other market, i've heard that some sims from hong kong won't work with this phone, but a sim from china in either sim socket will allow roaming into hong kong, and further up the thread, someone did say this phone works in singapore with either sim socket.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonadt:
I do not have problem with any SIM socket, all work well in Vietnam. Only search engine is my struggling...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honnoshin:
Alright. Since I'm interested to have this phone working in the US, I asked one friend of mine in China to send a request to Samsung China about the issue with 850MHz sim cards. Hope she will help me and do so :D

Update: Ok. Comrades from USA, my phone still not yet delivered I will need your help. Please send me proper email request in English for Samsung support team, where all aspects will be written. It will be translated and sent to them.

Update2: Didn't receive any reply. I wrote request by myself and my friend helped me to translate it to Chinese. Request has been sent. Waiting for results.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pat.:
Correct me if I'm wrong but the fact that site shows a Note3 is a bit .... er .. suspicious :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 80000037:
Actually, some of xda forum member already bought devices from them and they got what they bought (ie not fake chinese device). You can search for HTC Desire V dual SIM GSM, some of the members here bought that device from etotalk (at the time, Desire V only released in china, not yet released in europe).

As for the GN III, if you look at the price, they sell it for $9999.. they use to do that to keep buyers from buying the "non released item".

Just look at the N7102, they put $9,999 price tag because the devices still not "in stock". They will put the real price tag once they got it in stock.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebaztian:
I didn't know there is a black variant of the 7102. Samsung's official website only has white. And as far as I know, not all shops have stock. My friend has to look around before he manage to find one. I guessed the best option for you is to get a trusted friend to purchase it on your behalf.

Localization

Guys, has anybody tried to use some third-party localization software (like MoreLocale e.t.c.) to get the true list of supported locales, or, may be, to create custom locales ?

Also, has anybody tried to use alternative input ? English interface is not so bad, it's not a problem to deal with, but lack of localization in input is a really crap.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehsieh99:
I've tried MoreLocale 2, but it's useless. You couldn't custom it to another language. It will just display English.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pat.:
Yes yes, my post was meant as a joke ;)

Seriously though, when companies advertise phones that don't exist with "made up" specs its not very professional ... !
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 白い熊:
Can the users who have bought it tell me if the phone is physically identical to the N7100?

I have an extended battery with a special back cover, so wanna know if the dimensions, the battery location and the back cover hinges on both are exactly the same, so that I would be able to use the battery with the N7102.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebaztian:
Yup yup. even the model number on the battery is the same.

It's not true!!! the back cover is not same as Note 2. The back cover has a little bit of a difference does not converge, but you can fix yourself, but it very carefully.

Unfortunately, cities are listed in drop down list which Google Translate does not recognize. Could someone help me and point to the page where all Shanghai stores are listed.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unplaced:
If you come to Shanghai you can buy it in Bai Nao Hui (in Pudong) - it's a big digital supermarket - where many shops sell cell phones, computers, etc.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 白い熊:
Ugh, might not be good. The battery is the same, but is the battery position/location exactly the same?

白い熊
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 80000037:
If the battery model is the same meaning same size, capacity, connector, etc, it doesn't matter if the battery position in the device is different or the back cover design is different.

by the way, check here for GT-N7102 hands-on (chinese language though)

Thanks for the help & to the nimrod who said the phone is for china. Like the reply Samsung says its a Quad Band Phone. If they never would of wrote that I would of not purchased the phone. Now I wish this was a Apple phone we would of already have a answer from there support.

Can you find out why the second Sim does not activate at all in the USA as well.

Thank You
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honnoshin:
I asked two questions in my request. About second sim slot I asked too ;)

Samsung support replies very quickly. Not like Apple, but still quick enough.

ZTE phones sometimes working really bad with Vodafone in Europe. As I understood because of different sim type. I had ZTE U960 with the same issue. When ZTE support knew about it, they made a modem update and everything started to work perfect. So it's only software limitations or bags...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
The phone was made for the chinese market, otherwise it will be released elsewhere, quad band mean it supports it, it does not mean it will have to work in your country, as long as it works in china, that what matters to samsung china.

Sometimes manufacturer can make the phone accept or reject a sim through coding, or a sim with different voltage is not accepted.

Nope. Thanks to the GFW, We have limitations accessing to the Google services. But, we still could access to them via VPN or goagent. Built-in apps for Google are remained the same, no custom.

I live in China.

That's all.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hendrickchan:
well my sim worked in the philippines, when I took a trip to Canada where they use 850mhz, it stopped working. I used the sim in another phone and it works. so something is wrong with similar slot 2. it's not on sim voltage or anything else. It would be best if we inform samsung china about this so they can make the appropriate software changes. quad Band phones are supposed to work everywhere in the world, regardless of which market it is intended for.

sim card problem

hello friends I just buy a Galaxy Note II N7102 and I have a problem with the second sim card, the sim 1 work well and the 2 always indicates that there is not network, even if I interchange the sim there is always just one sim works. but when I called on the sim that was in slot 1 and now transferred in the second slot, the calls go directly to voice mail box. help please
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dwokfur:
I live in Europe and both SIMs are working fine. However I visit the US from time to tume, so it would be good to correct the second SIM's 850 related band problem. I hope it's just software related and will be later addressed by a firmware update's modem component.

Market Enabler not working anymore

Hi there,

I know this is not the thread for that problem, but I couldn't find any working solution elsewhere.

For those of you living in China or in a blocked country by Google Play Store

I cannot download apps anymore. Did you experience the same issue?

It used to work perfectly with Market Enabler, but not anymore!

I tried everything: Force stop the app, clear cache, run a VPN, update the lastest Market Enabler...

Without doing this I get the "not compatible with China Unicom..." and after I get "not for your country..."

Did Play store grt a recent update? I run the 3.10.10 version.

Thanks!

Buying 7100 (32 GB) from China, has anyone recognized issue to use 3G in US?

Hi All,

I am considering going the route of buying the 7100 (32 GB) from China rather than the 7102 (32 GB) as I have heard people have problems using the phone in the US on the 3G network.

As I understand this phone is designed for China Unicom and they cannot do anything, if it doesn't work in USA. To my shame I didn't mentioned about 850mhz :(.

look..

"Note: We only accept Western Union , Bank Transfer and Moneygram for this phone."
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pat.:
Weston union & Moneygram NEVER!

But ask your bank about Bank transfer rules because here in UK if you make a bank transfer you only have 24hrs to cancel it & that's too late if the phone is not as it was described when you receive it BUT if you make the Bank transfer using your debit/Credit card then it is covered if you don't receive what you ordered (non working, faulty, used ETC) because that is a fraudulent transaction & your bank will get your money returned.

*Provided the bank trusts you & you have a good history with them.

I keep zero funds in PayPal for same reason, any payment I make comes off my debit card then even if Paypal don't want to refund or I have any problem, my bank overide PayPal & take the money back because its people at a bank who know me & my good history.

Samsung does not provide international warranty, so etotalk expect the customer to fly to china and have it repaired, as there is no mail in repair service in most asian region, and that includes china and hong kong, even if you are willing to pay for shipping cost.

Please follow these steps to re-root your N7102.

1. Download N7108-root.rar to root your N7102. This won't have any problem.No repeatly rebooting issue. Unzip it , then use Odin to flash it. You will have it rooted and CWM installed.

2. Download Google Apps and Service . Use CWM to flash this to your N7102. All your google service will come back.

When you reboot, you will see that android system keeps telling you updagrding.

Please use RootExplorer file manager to /system/framework/ folder. Delete or rename two files:

Well yes most are aware of that, what I'm saying is Etotalk are being fraudulent by not accepting back faulty goods sold as new.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
I' m not actually arguing with you, it's just what i think that on there mind.

It is rather sly on them to do bisiness like this, as most online business do provide backup service, not too concern if it bad or good after service, but most do have the service, but directing the customer to samsung knowing that it's not going to work.

If most people from xda reads this, i'm sure they will lose many business. And not accepting paypal, it's not going to work either.

If you have a friend that can help you buy one, I'd suggest you consider that option, this allows for a phone checking and the price can be discounted greatly, if possible you can send your friend a sim , and better still a 850 sim that has roaming, sent it to your frind to test out the sim 1 and 2 socket over in china, that way you can answer to most of the peoples question that is posted on the is thread about the problems.
