Google Play on China Phones

I have been using china dual sim phones since the introduction of MTK6585 and all of them up to MTK 6589T can access Google Play, you just have to flash the correct apk. Alternatively I would suggest using aptoide as an alternative to Google Play but you still must install Google Play Services for Gmail, Maps etc to work properly. Hope this helps though just read it so mind my late reply

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

You got cheated big time. MTK 6589 is the clone version of Samsung China Note II Dual Sim. MTK 6589 version cost about US$200 where else Samsung China Note II cost US$800. Technically the function is the same except the onboard memory and processor speed is lower on MTK6589. Technically you should be better off with MTK6589 if you got it at the correct price as it can be rooted or is already rooted where else the original China version has got memory issues. I managed to see and play with the original China version on my recent trip to China and I to but the MTK6589 N7102 instead of the Samsung China N7012. Only proble with china clone products is that different supplier quality is not same and my unit reception call quality does not match my samsung GSII. I am currently using the first batch of MTK6589 Galaxy S4 and I am very happy with it. Will not even consider Samsung GS4. Hope this helps

Original S4 cost usd750 in my country, while the replica only cost usd300...

Hi all,

First of all, thanks a lot to kinghu for his more than useful posts. I could proceed with his clear explanations without any trouble :)

I have one question though (kind of a newbie question) : I would like to benefit for the firmware upgrades provided on a regular basis by Samsung, but it seems that some of the system files were modified by me, that prevent firmware to be upgraded.

As kinghu mentioned, installing FastGPS (which I did) is one cause of this.

Are there any other applications that can do the same? For instance "Locale Select"?

Thanks in advance,

Liv.

I believe that Note 2 Duos is still the best dual sim flagship phone.

Yes, I know there are S4 Duos (china only) and Note 3 Duos (soon to be released in china).

And yes, I know there are HTC One Dual SIM (international) and HTC One Max Dual SIM (china only?).

But their price are very high and the spec difference is subtle. So price/performance wise, Note 2 Duos still the best :highfive:

by the way, I'm searching for extended battery and interested with Mugen 6400mAh for N7100. Does anyone here have tested it? does the battery of the N7102 the same as N7100 (pin position, size, etc)?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dwokfur:
N7100 pin positions are a little bit different for two of the pins. I had to use a little tool to modify the cover to fit. The battery really lasts. There are some other extended batteries available which cannot outperform Mugen, and the covers usually have a failing NFC antenna, but can be combined with an extended protective cover.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 80000037:
You mean the 2 pins near the microsd slot that connect to the back cover for wireless charging (or NFC)?

I dont need that pins to work actually. I just want to know whether the mugen battery for N7100 is compatible with N7102.

As for modify the back cover, i also had the same problem when trying to put N7100 flipcover. The 2 pins locations mismatch and i have to cut one of the flipcover's "teeth". But its fit.

Hi. Guys. Could I have a question?

My N7102 has official Chinese Rom on it and I'm using T-Mobile Sim

card in USA. The phone always shows "Roaming". How can I solve the

problem? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dwokfur:
One pin is at the bottom, another is at the right side. But the pins are not totally wrong. I just had to get rid of half a mm of each pin at their sides to be able to apply Mugen's cover. Since some corner pins are not implemented, the cover fit is looser compared to the factory cover. The NFC antenna of the Mugen's cover is functioning correctly. The Mugen battery is absolutely compatible, since N7102 has the same battery just like other N710* phones. The longevity is fantastic. I achieved 100 hours+ standby, and the battery still was at 9%! There is a Mugen app to recalibrate the battery. I definitely recommend it. I also use it for other 3rd party batteries.

There are some 6400 to 7600 mAs extended batteries from various sources available on ebay and amazon. These usually use another style of cover, which includes an NFC antenna having too short pins. The workaround is to pile off Mugen's NFC antenna and stick in place of the non-functioning one. There is also a protective cover available with kick-stand for a typical extended cover type. There are some cover which will break easily as you try to modify the pins. I've find one, which fits even tigther. But not large enough for Mugen. Mugen's 6400 is roughly equivalent to other vendor's 7600 in terms of longevity and size. I could still achieve 100 hours standby time using a random Chinese 6400mAs battery, but only 2% left.

Help on using N7102 with Tmobile

Hi, tired of going through all 102 pages, I have a China Unicom N7102 phone got at SZ, not sure if it's locked or not. But it has a CU Micro SIM card inside and has 4.1.1 version..

I plan to get T-mobile prepaid plan here in US. Plan to use it for phone call only as I have Wifi access in office/home.

Can I just use a working standard-sized SIM card from another phone and will it work?

Or do I have to call T-mobile to get Micro SIM (looks the primary SIM is micro-sized) and activate it via them?

Btw, is there a way to tell if the phone is locked. I put in a standard sized Tmobile working SIM card, but no phone signal at all. And I believe I didn't get prompted to ask for unlock code. I tried ServiceMode but I didn't see SHA256 OFF menu there either.

Any info will be appreciated, esp. for step-by-step instructions.

Do you want stock rom with root or do you want custom rom that will make your phone "unofficial international version" ?

By the way, can you install Antutu Benchmark or CPU-Z app to make sure your phone is not replica or supercopy of N7102?

This is a thread about N7102i and I could see some official advertisement of N7102i from Chinese website(but I don't understand Chinese).

I tried to install Antutu Benchmark but it requires google play store which I don't have and which I mean to have by rooting.

I don't have any google services so far.

I can enter download mode but I have no idea if this proves mine is not a replica but an original.

WIFI and GSM-Issue

Hello,

I am a newbie in modyfiying Android phones and it seems, as if my N7102 has the "bug" with the unability of getting a location fix by using WiFi or GSM.

I got my device from etotalk, rooted and with ModRom preinstalled.

Can someone please tell me step by step what i must do, to get rid of this lack in function?

Is there a single fix for it?

Must i flash a complete ROM (which i can not do without support)

Are the rooting and the mulitilingual OS gone after the flashing of a new Firmware?

Please do appologize my "silly" questions.

I really like the device , but i don´t like having a phone at this Price whith missing "MUST HAVES" like WiFi - localisation

Maybe somebody can tell me how to solve my problem?

I think, that some providers simply don't have the number presaved on the SIM and edited entries might be ignored by 4.3.

It seems I could not root my GT-N7102 I need help

1. I use IGO/Autnavi and works fine.

2. I was using until yesterday Android 4.1.2 pre rooted and with google apps running thanks to kinghu's efforts made public in a post on this forum on 15th May 2013 and also in this thread at page 92. Thank you again kinghu.

I tried to ugrade to Android 4.3, by flashing the ROM (N7102ZNUEMK8_N7102CHUEMK8_CHU) and rooting (CF-Auto-Root-t03gchnduos-t03gduoszc-gtn7102) using odin 3.07

Problems started

- I could not find out if the device was really rooted or not - testing with rootchecker app seemed to get into a loop so no result was given ( I lost patience and stopped the app )

- the message " google services stopped " appeared. I could not use google play . In order to regain control I decided to delete the google account I had on the phone and add it again. I could delete it but could not add again a google account.

I tried to delete 2 files com.google . . . ( cannot remember their names ) using rootexploer - could not delete them - message said that since these are system files, they cannot be deleted.

I tried to flash also latest version of stock ROM 2 ( N7102ZNUEML1_N7102CHUEML1_CHU ) but with that one, Super User and RootExplorer apk did not open ( there were error messages ).

At this moment, I cannot add google account ( and therefore I cannot syncronize back my contacts, text, and so on ) and I cannot use google play. There are other ways ( other marketplaces ) install apk but for adding google account I did not find any solution.

It would be nice ( Kinghu please help us . . .) to find again a stock ROM prerooted and with googleservices working , just to flash it and go on.

If someboy has advices or a clear tested/working tutorial from A to Z would be nice to put it here,
