[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjjjjbbbbb:
hi! i am new here. i would like to ask a few questions regarding my samsung galaxy note 2 shv-e250L. pardon if some of the questions have been asked before, it is just i am new and i would prefer to make a new post so my questions would be specifically answered on this post. hopefully, you would all be kind enough to answer my queries. i would be very thankful.

anyway, here goes:

i have opened the hidden menu of the phone and it led me to this- please look at the following:

network setting/1. network mode

automatic

wcdma 1900

wcdma 2100

wcdma all

gsm 900

gsm 1800

gsm 1900

gsm all

lte b5

lte b1

lte all

since shv-e250L has the 850 and 2100 bands as mentioned in wikipedia , so i will only be able to use an lte capable smart sim which is being offered to prepaid subscribers. however, my questions regarding this screenshot are these:

a. what if i won't choose the automatic preference and change it to any of the choices, will it affect my lte signal?( that is if i am going to use the smart lte sim)

b. what do those lte b1, lte b5, lte all signify?

c. what does wdcma and gsm mean? what do they pertain to?

d. if i change any the choice from automatic to any of those, will it affect my text and call? or just the internet on my phone?

please look at this too. the following are:

lguhiddenmenu

1. ims volte settings

2. ims volte sip reg

3. ims volte error table

4. ims volte roaming setting

a. what does volte mean?

b. can i change any of the settings here?

c. will it affect the text,call, internet of the phone if i change any of the settings?

for example, look at the following:

volte setting/1. ims volte settings

lte/3g server dns is pcscf1.lteims.co.kr

wfi server dns is wifi.lteims.co.kr

server ip is 10.113.13.75

server ip2 is this allows you to enter a string

server ip3 is this allows you to enter a string

lte/3g-dns or ip(1=dns) is 1

wifi-dns or ip(1=dns) is 1

pco is 1

server domain is lte-lguplus.co.kr

lte/3g server port is 5060

a. can i change anything above?

b. these addresses pertain to korea, can i change these and will it affect the call,text, internet on the phone?

c. or should i just leave it?

i have been reading some posts about flashing shv-e250 models with different roms. i do not know anything about flashing or rooting because i have not tried it ever on my phone. so far on some posts, some users like the rom n7105 for the note 2. i would like to ask some questions about this.

1. if i flash my phone with the n7105 rom and install the kernel appropriate for the shv-e250L, will there be changes on the phone? can you give examples? will there be functionality of the phone missing like vibration, or etc? most of all, will the phone lag?

2. follow up to number 1, i want my phone to stay the same actually,that is with the same functionalities with the shv- e250L and i am contented with it but i just want to make the sms character count to 160 just like the regular phones(i tried handcent, sms pro, but sometimes they won' t even send more than 160, it is inconvenient); remove those korean apps because i won't be able to use them anyway; everything in english since i do not know korean; be able to see my phone number and the network provider in the settings. that is all. as for the rest, i want everything to stay the same. is the n7105 rom capable of these things and still have all the functionalities of the shv-e250 L?

3. what does kernel mean and what will it do to the phone ? in this case, changing the kernel to the kernel provided in this site for korean note 2s.

4. in wikipedia, samsung note 2 n7105 has bands 800,1800,2600. if i flash the phone with n7105 rom, will it have these bandwiths too? or the bandwidths of the shv-e250L will still remain even after flashing with n7105?

5. if ever there is a new update for the shv-e250L, how will i update since the rom is already n7105? or should i update using the n7105?

6. if i decide to change back to shv-e250L, how will i do that?

7. last question, i have kies on my computer, and downloaded some apps for the note 2. the shv-e250L is not recognized by the samsung appstore ph. is it because it is a korean phone ?? i tried switching to samsung appstore korea but the language i do not understand. if i flash it with n7105, will it be recognized by the samsung appstore ph as n7105? or what country- samsung appstore us or what particular country i mean? and will i be able to download apps now from the kies on the computer.

p.s. there are times when i do not use internet on the phone and since the computer at my house has internet, just dsl not wifi, so i use that in case someone will wonder why i just don't download using the internet on my phone.

this is all for now. thank you so much. for those who are going to answer and render patience, thank you.

pardon moderators if i made a mistake in any way regarding posting.

have a great day everyone!
