HiddenOx, forgive the obvious but:

1. It is a genuine N7102 and not a clone, isn't it?

2. Is the phone in 'download' mode when attempting the flash?

3. Have you installed the Samsung phone drivers?

It worked fine when it wasn't rooted, I did buy it from China after all. All SIM cards are working only the SIM from China isn't. The only difference between yours and mine so far I can see is that I don't have a custom recovery installed and I installed gapps the manual way, ie add system files directly using the RW-R-R method.

I'm home now so I can't test anything but based on your description it's definitely not China having some secret file in place to make their SIM cards fail once the phone is rooted so I should be able to fix it with a restore, re-root and re-flash...hopefully. :eek:

Hi all, just noticed google + isn't compatible with this phobe, any workaround?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenOx:
Hi kinghu,

Sorry for the late reply, work is hell ! Yeah its the original one. I got it all sorted finally. Apparently and strangely the problem was because I am flashing it using my new Microsoft surface pro.. Problem was either the USB port or that its windows 8..... Not sure. I've put it on the mbp with win 7 and its all sorted like a charm.

Almost sorted everything out apart from couple of things.

1. The android optimising screen doesn't want to dissappear. I renamed the files mentioned except to the .odex as it didn't exist. I had instead a file ending with .odin which I did rename.. But still after every restart I get the android upgrading and optimising the 104 apps :S

2. Caller Id isn't working. I have the same problem that my carrier sends the caller Id without international code. And all contacts are with international code. Installed touch pall contacts. Its showing in the log and SMS but when receiving a call, names doesn't show... Also tried the workaround from the twcontactaprovider, but everything went insane and crashed including gapps services, gallery, and contacts apps . So reverted back. Currently am on KSA (+966)..

Any input guys will be highly appreciated.. I received 20 - 30 phone calls a day and I have to turn on my chicknoris voice identifier mode to guess who is calling me when they first say hello!

One of my friends taken advantage and played a prank on me, when I picked up he told me he is from samsung and they detected that I've played with my newly purchased note 2 software and the its against their policy.. He asked me did you read the manual?. I replied no its I Chinese! He said well, that's your problem lol! ... I was like wtf! Am gonna sue those bastards how did they get my number and how did they spy on my device

:banghead:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohkuni:
1. My file was there from stock, did you install a custom ROM?

2. I think the only other workaround is to manually add the local number to each of your contacts, you also need to add the area code for land line numbers (I had to anyway)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenOx:
Update: yes it's the stock rom. This happened after rooting and installing gapps. First issue is solved now. Lots of apps was crashing so i've rolled back a titanium recovery, renamed the jar and odex file with a .bck at the end. And the updating message isn't showing anymore

2. I can't write all my contacts locally.. I have over 1500 contacts... And they are scattered all over the world so cent batch update.. Surely there must be a solution ? How did others get the caller id to show with touch pal ? I can see ids in the log but nothing when receiving an incoming call yet....

hi folks....

i just curious want to know.

is there any newer cmw for note 2 n7102, in this thread i thought cwm 6.0.1.9.

what is latest cwm version for note 2 n7102?

is this version (cwm 6.0.1.9) already cover patch for sds issue?

maybe our friends who joined www.52samsung.com can help?

because i can not register on that site.

thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghu:
Hi HiddenOx,

Glad to hear you're making progress with some of the issues.

As for TouchPal, I'm not sure why you're not getting the caller ID showing. On mine, when receiving a call i get the standard dialler screen with just the number and some random Chinese province (e.g. Guangxi blah blah) but TouchPal overlays with a box showing the name and number.

Not sure if you've seen how it looks so have taken a screenshot.

As to why it's not working I'm not sure. I didn't do anything other than install the app. maybe try a reinstall and clear app data and cache from application manager.

My numbers are stored all in international format (e.g. +44 XXXX XXXXXX).

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenOx:
Regarding the caller Id, Just, tried clearing cache, reinstalling . Setting the touchwiz as default and reinstalling again. Still same issue.. All options to set it as default and to take over system dialler are activated and on.

This hovering box isn't appearing. It only appeared once when I was making an outgoing call ages ago but that's all... Never appeared when receiving a call.

Any ideas or settings needs adjusting?

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

Update on TouchPal contacts, I've found that the little popup appears only if the contact exist with the exact same number showing on the screen.

Otherwise, it doesn't show up....

Ideas?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahulvm:
Guys, incase you have issues when installing location based and get the following error like maps shared library missing or install missing libraries, then download Gapps for 4.1.1 and do the following : (Place these files and change permission)

system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml --> /system/etc/permissions

system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar --> /system/framework
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenOx:
Good news regarding caller Id, guys if caller Id isn't showing after installing TouchPal, do the following :

Go to tools - >ip assist - > set carrier name and choose china mobile.

And then go back to tools, caller Id, incoming calls and choose all numbers

Apparently based on your location , caller Id won't always show automatically like others and this setting forces it to match ids.

I've decided to take the plunge and get one of these, but since i can only buy it online, i'm nervous about getting a clone etc

Aside from the price, once in hand, how do you tell if its a clone or the real deal.

What do i look out for in terms of the hard/soft ware? In particular the one with 32GB storage?

Thank you in adv
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghu:
Aside from the obvious hardware differences such as screen size and lack of a Samsung logo etc, check the internal memory size and system details menu.

You're best bet is to run something like geekbench to give you not only a benchmark but also hardware specs (ram, exynos cpu, quad core and speed, etc).

I got mine in person from an electronics mall and the clones were obvious. However, I paid a few hundred RMB more to get it from a known seller (Gome/国美) rather than a reseller who appeared to be trying to sell used/returned phones as new. Having a N7100 prior helped with the comparison.

Since you're buying online just make sure it's a reliable seller with a decent returns policy. Check back in this thread for mentions of online purchases. Also the S4 bring released soon may or may not cause a price drop.

Hi, micro sim slot supports HSDPA data connection, regular size sim slot supports only Edge connection. It is my experience with N7102.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KurdX:
Hi guys.

Can I use all function in the phone by only using the microsim slot?

If I could get internet connection by HSDPA, make calls and everything as the N7100 by only using the first simslot?

Also, as I can see, it's the exact same hardware, which would mean that it should be possible to flash whatever from N7100 and get

it to work on the N7102? But this will then lead to the second simslot to not work.

Can anyone confirm this?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daughterofpower:
Thanks so much for responding. I am not too too clear on how these speeds work but what is the theoretically fastest speed you [can] get then? 14mbps, 21mbps or 42mbps? Because I believe these are all HSDPA speeds (at least on Tmobile, with 42mbps being designated HSDPA+ if I'm not mistaken).

Also, (question for all as well), if I want to have a ready-to-go-outta-box dual sim N7102, should I just order one from Etotalk with their Etotalk Mod ROM? Because just perusing through this thread and seeing all the technical adjustments to make etc to get the phone working on a U.S network (I will, God willing, be going with Tmobile on this phone) seems like too much work, plus I'm honestly not a techhead like that.

Also how does the Etotalk Mod ROM affect the Android OS and TouchWiz?

Sorry for the noob-ful questions and TIA!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 白い熊:
Bro, it seems you haven't been reading very carefully: you will only be getting Edge speed in the US - very slow, with this phone. HSDPA speeds are not working in the States due to US frequencies not working on this phone. That's what all the fuss is about in the other N7102 thread...
