For the uncompress password, because i am not the one to create them. I will not give out the password without the owner's permission. I have already contacted him, but no feedback yet. The repacked one is being uploaded, might be available in 10hours, damn slow upload speed...

Turn on the caller number location toast in TouchPal contact, when you get call-in, contact name and other info will show on your screen, just behind the number of the stock contact. Of cause, the location is wrong.

Samsung N7102 contact does not work well even for China market....

ODIN only has windows version I think. I use Windows 7 virtual machine in VMware Fusion for it.

If you don't wanna pay the license fee for VMware Fusion, you can also try VirtualBox or use BootCamp directly.

All the templates and samples are located in your /storage/sdcard0/S Note.

When you factory reset ur phone, it will be installed from /system/preloaddata/SNote/FmFiles.db.

If you like to use English version, just replace them with N7100 ones.

About matching contacts with incoming calls phone number, the issue may come from your CSC feature file (you will find it in /system/csc/feature.xml )

=> Just be sure to make a backup before editing any values.

Dialer search matches numbers in contacts and call logs along with contacts :

<!-- Dialer / Logs -->
<CscFeature_Dialer_PhonebookNdigitsMatching>true</CscFeature_Dialer_PhonebookNdigitsMatching>

You may have to optionally add this line too and edit the value ...

<!-- RIL -->

I just got N7102, i had same problem with caller displayed, obviously the ROM is designed for China Mobile and China Union, the problem come from the ROM, i post help in 52samsung to ask the romer to fix the problem, i hope they will do it. I used N7000 before, same problem will come up when i flash rom designed for China, but when i change it to HK version or Asia Pacific ROM version, there is no problem. i tried once in N7000 flash china ROM and change the Kernel to other version, the Problem is solved, but that is ICS, when i use S3 Jellybean, the way to change is Kernel is useless, i even tried to flash to baseband, the problem could be solved unless flash to other ROM, i hope someone could solve the problem here, if i get any respones from 52samsung, i will post it here,

good for nothing

Yes this is true, a friend of mine bought this 7102 and got into trouble that it cannot install any of the google play apps and other international apps. The chinese GREAT firewall , also affected this phone that you cannot install anything unless approve by chinese authority.

Hey china is a communist country, dont be naive that the phone had freedom. It does not. YOu cannot install anything within google framework and also apps like LINE or VIBER get block all the time. The telco in china force you to go to pirate side in china to download the illegal stuffs.

I dont know why perhap they want to see what you are doing with the phone... since they have the authority to view and see what you do.. since they have like 50,000 people sitting in the building to sensor your conversation using the galaxy note 2, 7102.

+1

And it works quite well outside China (well, at least here in Europe) !

No issues with Google apps : they are running smoothly ! (Gmail, Maps, earth, Drive, ...).

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

Ok. I received the device : unbranded, no SIMlock.

I'm running a LK8 ROM.

Rooted it, installed Gapps. I'm running the genuine feature.xml file (no editing ...yet):

Removed bloatware embedded in ROM (with Titanium backup).

Caller ID issues: none for now.

Works for both SIM chips:

- Incoming Caller Ids are properly reported in the call logs (international format : + xx xxxxx)

- Incoming Calls matched to gmail contact info : works. (caller name is displayed when calling)

- Incoming Calls matched to Exchange contact info : works. (caller name + picture are displayed when calling)

Maps location issue: none

- worked as expected right out of the box (after root & Gapps :) )

- No issues at all with Google Navigation (still have to test it with Tomtom).

- GPS Fix is a bit longer than a regular N7100.

HSPA issue (reported by some members in this thread): none

- In settings, Sim card manager, you can select either Slot 1 or Slot 2 to run Data service network. Slot 2 is 2G only ! Make sure you select Slot 1 (and the SIM chip supports HSPA). Then you'll get the "H" or "H+".

FYI:

- OTG cable works => was able to read USB stick or external HDD.

- Ran CarrierIQ detection (BitDefender & others) : ROM seems to be clean

Issues I have (for now):

- Contact manager: can't sort using last name : option is not there => will edit feature.xml to fix this.

- Tried to install Accuweather widget (from N7100 or S3): cannot start or run the widget.

- FM Radio tuner app is missing (in stock ROM): will re install it.

- Exynosabuse.apk v1.40 from ChainFire causes camera to stop working (green screen) [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050297]. Solution: don't use Exynosabuse for now, or disable it when needed.

- Wifi EAP SIM method is missing. Cannot authenticate with SIM chip on operator Wifi network.

- Only English is available. Morelocale2 sees only Chinese, Korean and English. Will work on CSC file editing ...

Appart these small issues it runs quite well (smooth, no lag) :D

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matteo.Weng:
Is the caller number you operator provided exactly as same as your contact number? or international format in contact number while operator provides local format?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frav:
Numbers provided by both operators are using international format (+xx xxxxxxxxxx), for both international and local calls.

Works with both SIM slots.

I tested :

- SIM 1 in slot 1, SIM 2 in slot 2 : works : caller number displayed in international format (by operator).

- SIM 1 in slot 2, SIM 2 in slot 1 : works : caller number displayed in international format (by operator).

All my contact numbers are stored in international format in Google contacts or Exchange contacts, ... So calls always match what is stored in contacts.

So if both your operators are providing numbers in international format, it should always match numbers in your contact list, as long as you store them in international format.

Now, if one of your operators doesn't transmit the caller ID in international format (for any calls) ... Issue is somewhere else ...

I tested it on a different Android device (Samsung Captivate Glide, using ICS 4.0.4, 1 SIM slot): contacts stored in international format, when it receives a call with a local caller ID (no +xxx prefix), it matches automatically the international number store in the phone.

The only difference I noticed in international GT-N7100 feature.xml file is that it shows:

<CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>-1</CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>

You could try this one ...

so as to say when travelling to other country, using local prepaid sim card i have to insert in slot 1 to get 3g data? then my fixed line will have to be swap to slot 2?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frav:
Correct, you will have to move your "home" SIM card to slot 2, to put in slot 1 local 3G SIM card so you can use 3G Data access.

If you put your prepaid 3G SIM in slot 2, you will get max 2G speeds !

Slot 1 is WCDMA/GSM and supports 3G/3G+ data.

Slot 2 is GSM only and supports 2G data (, I tried, got an "E" displayed => Edge, so 2,75G ;) no that bad, but kind of slow ...)

FYI: I tested it yesterday evening with Data service configured on Slot 2, ran Google Maps and Navigation ...it works but takes time to load the detailed maps and directions. Once loaded, it's not that bad.

Could you import other languages? Ex. Russian.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frav:
If it is keyboard only, you can try Touchpal keyboard. But the UI will remain in English.

Edit:

- "Morelocale2" app will not detect any more languages, un less you input it manually.

- "Set locale and language" will make additional applications installed to run in selected language. It won't change system language.

If you want to get the whole UI in language other than English, Chinese or Korean ... I think we will need to find a Chef to cook a new ROM with the missing languages (like the one you can find on the international N7100).

Unable to get 2nd SIM to work in USA

Hello everyone,

I have been happily reading this thread for a while and have a brand new N7102. It has a gapps-enabled ROM on it already.

My issue is this - I cannot seem to find anyway of getting it to register the 2nd SIM. Let me be precise here:

Both SIMS are on AT&T in the USA (I am in Dallas, TX). The primary SIM registers fine, shows the phone # in the SIM manager, will ONLY register on GSM, not WCDMA, which is kind of weird, but not the point of this request.

The second SIM shows registered on network, but I get no signal on it, and even in the status bar, it shows a circle with a line thru it. In the SIM Manager, I can see the phone number, but I can't make outbound calls on it.

I have tried a different sim from T-Mobile, but have the same issue as above.

I have made sure the right APN is selected, and even have it auto select the network (clicking manual select doesn't do anything).

Is there something I have to do in order to get the 2nd SIM slot to recognize USA frequencies versus those in China? This is a quad-band phone, even in SIM Slot 2, so this SHOULD work.

I have taken my 2nd AT&T SIM and used it in other devices and it works fine, so not a SIM issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. FYI, I have installed and re-installed a multitude of ROMS to resolve this prior to posting including - stock LK8, stock LKA (52Samsung version), and Matteo Wong's customized LKA ROM, and none of these resolve my issue.

Please help!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GadgetGuruKen:
2nd SIM Slot still not working...

Frav,

GREAT suggestion, hadn't thought of that. I swapped them (with a little bit of maneuvering!), but same result. The 2nd SIM shows a circle with a line thru it. When I go into the Status menu, it shows Network as Unknown, Mobile network type as GPRS, Service State as Out of service, Roaming as Not roaming, and Mobile network state as Disconnected like it always has. Under My phone number, it shows the proper number assigned to that SIM. ERI version shows Not available.

It really makes NO sense. Any thoughts? And thanks again,

-Ken

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

When I say I swapped them, I mis-spoke. I put the micro-sim one from slot 1 into the full-size slot 2, making sure all the pins align so that it would recognize the SIM. Of course, there was nothing in slot 1 when I got the results above. Just want to be very explicit about what exactly I did.

Thanks again for any help you can provide,
