Hello,
I bough an S3 to change my OneX and i`m still not sure what i bought.
It is deffenetly from Korea, but i cannot find if it is a i9305 aside from checking the RAM and it seams to be a 2GB phone.
The recovery mode is in Korean (Vol down + middle Button + Power)... Can i change that?
Other info about the phone
Model Number: SHV-E210L (i cannot read Korean to figure out what this is, but at least it leads to the Samsung Site)
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband: E210LKLLK5/E210LKLLK7
Build Number: JZO54K.E210LKLJLL7
I`m in Europe -> Romania so i`m guessing i would be better off with a local Radio. Can you advice on one?
Also there are some weird factors:

Is that an built in antenna on the photo????,
if so that is fake
Definetly a Knockoff
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
Lol!
That looks like its an attenna,
*Fake stamp*
How much did you pay for this knock off if i can ask so?
I hope they did not scam you lol..
Xewl do a little research.. i found this
http://www.zdnet.com/localize-handset-design-content-to-be-competitive-7000006309/
It seams that in Korea the Antenna is a local consumer need
It's NOT a knockoff! It's the domestic Korean version of the Galaxy S3 ... the model number SHV-E210L is for the LG U+ provider. The antenna is included on all the Korean versions of the S3 because it is used to watch TV in Korea over the T-DMB network. Most smartphones in Korean have this antenna.
AGAIN this is NOT a knockoff but whether a domestic Korean version of the S3... and actually better than the I9305!

Oh nice,
Never heard about that tho
I did saw alot of knock offs with sich attennas thats why i made the link instantly ^^
Seems i am wrong
Not to be rude but I wouldn't necessarily say better than the I9305 as that would entirely depend on what you intend to do with it. For example, I doubt you'll get LTE reception in europe with it, nor T-DMB. And is the custom rom scene big for it?
Fun fact, turns out swedes on Tele2 can partially get LTE on the SHV-E210K (not L), our carrier uses the 900mhz band in rural areas and 2600mhz in cities (or vice versa, not completely sure).
You hit the i on the head... there is no support for the i9305... so i`m thinking of selling again..i want CM

I agree with the LTE and T-DMB and the lack of custom support as being the downsides but the reason why I say it is better than the I9305 is simply because of the long-term support from Samsung. With it you will get official updates first and for a longer time than the I9305. But the LTE bands on the Korean version are quite different...so that is a major problem.

You don't even have an I9305, there is no community support for your phone. The I9305 on the other hand, is - like I said in the other thread - basically an N7105 with a smaller screen, meaning we do have support in the sense that everything that is happening to that device will eventually be mirrored to our device.

what do you mean i don't have an i9305?! do you mean to say that i have an i9300??
I read that the 2GB versions of the i9300 are i9305 according to GSM Arena for ex.
Could you clarify?! does this mean i can flash CM?
No, neither, you said yourself that you have an SHV-E210L... This is a phone designed for the Korean market.
It's similar to the I9305 in that it has an exynos 4412 processor, 2gb ram and LTE (note: modem will likely be different). But the board will be wired differently, if you are interested in CyanogenMod I would definitely sell it.
oh so it has an entirely different code.
So i can't even flash i9305 ROMs, right?
nothing.. it is rooted already but i did not flash any recovery
You can use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alxdroiddev.gs3identity
to detect if the phone is a fake or not. This app will tell you.
it's legit.. but from the looks of it ... i won't be able to flash anything on this ... since there is no way of knowing if it will stick or brick my phone :|
The easiest way to know for sure is to check if it has samsung features like camera with Best Shot and etc, Palm Skype, Direct Call, Multiwindows

What do you mean by "wired differently"? It's just a different model made for the Korean market

Where is it? I haven't heard much about it since CES.
No new information on it as of yet
Coming to T-Mobile UK this month for £25 a month!
It's also coming to Germany within a week or two. I don't think it's ever coming to the United States, the only way I would buy this is if it supports UMTS 1700mhz, and 2100mhz (T-Mobile's 3G bands in the US). It was adverstised to support these bands, but I don't know how true that is.

GSM is not 3G...only UMTS is.
It's for sale in Belgium for 409 euro off contract. Pretty good value. Any news about rootability?
I'm interested in that this means:
"- Optimus UI 2.0, Gesture UI 2.0"
And whether we already have version 2.0 in the 2x? What is version 1.0?

Is this phone the same as the 2x? If not, why is it posted here & not in its own dedicated section (or ask an Admin to create one)? I know that phones will change names & that's partly why I'm asking.
Why is there no dedicated optimus black
forum? I believe it is a great device which
deserves much more attention. Even though it
doesn't carry along the same power than the
2x, it has probably what could be the best
screen on market with respect to luminosity
and power drain. For the rest, the device has
pretty much the same hardware configuration
as the nexus s, fitted in a slimmer body and
adding fm radio support. If it can be rooted
easily, that will be my device of choice. Nexus
s is great, but feels a bit plastic and is a bit
thick in my opinion.
Cause not much has been said about optimus black. It is still under development. I actually want one myself cause it looks sexy though it only has a single core. Wish lg would make a same device as sexy as optimus black but with tegra 2 like optimus2x. The problem w/ LG is that all their goodstuffs are scattered on different models. nova display sounds cool.
Actually it is not in development anymore. The product is already being sold in Germany and arriving in Switzerland in about 10 days.

Bought mine in Zürich 2 days ago, rooted it yesterday, but there's still no forum
I get one from Orange Spain for next 25/5.....
And does the battery last for a day with 3G on, WiFi on, Data Sync on?
The LG Optimus 2x can't even go beyound 9 hours with these settings turned on.
And turning them off is a no go, because a smartphone is no kiddy toy. It has all these features to use them not to turn them off to save battery life.

The battery lasts for 16 to 18 hours of usage with 3g connection, data sync, wi-fi (when available), about 30 min talking or maybe more and automatic brightness (set to "power saving" mode - makes the screen a little dimmer but still able to follow it on bright light).

Is there any differences between the GT-i9220 vs N7000 version ? Which one should you buy?
I am in the U.S.A and I have pre-ordered the GT-i9220 version .
I don't know.
What I did find on the Internets is confusion about this type number. Even here in the Netherlands the (real) GT-N7000 Note is listed as a i9220, obviously wrong...
Some sites say the 9220 has 4.3 inch, others say is 5.3... Some say is Gingerbread, others say its ICS...
But they all seem to agree its on 1.4ghz and 1280x720
I guess that if you order a Note i9220, you will get a Note N7000

My best guess its a 4.65" ICS Samsung at 1.4ghz, yet to be released.
GT-I9220 is the version that comes with ICS as standard.
Physical buttons will be removed so that you can use the on-screen ones with the S-Pen, pentile will be dropped for a true Super AMOLED Plus (which will consume less battery).
This modification will make the phone a bit smaller, reduced size on bottom.
It will come just one month after you bought the first Galaxy Note version, and for a lighter price.
In fact, I have no clue, just making up what could be a real bad joke (we've seen stuff like that before)!

But its the internets, don't believe it until you see it

I9220 was the first codename for Note. But Samsung changed it to N7000, which is currently used name.
AH, that makes more sense... If you search for WFA11897 on Google, you find posts talking about the i9220, but the wifi certificate points to N7000....

i9220 was Galaxy Note code name showed on IFA 2011. But, i9** are used for Galaxy phones and Galaxy Note was considered as subtype of the Galaxy phone at that moment. Later on, Samsung changed mind and want to show Galaxy Note as new product line so using N*** for that category now.
i think it's the chinese version of the Galaxy Note.

Guess it was one of its prototype names. I believe the codename can still be found on the phone itself, it was mentioned in the endgadget video review/overview (I think it was on the battery)

How much is it?.. is it cheaper than the hk version?
It's actually more expensive than the HK version. Almost all localized retail phones in China are more expensive due to the heavy taxing that goes on here. The MSRP for China version is 5999rmb. I was able to find a seller on taobao (chinese ebay) selling the i9220 for almost as cheap as a gray market (HK imported) N7000. 4900rmb.
So, I'm going tomorrow morning to their "office" to check it out and possibly come back with a new GT-i9220!

GT-i9220 was the name initially assigned to the note which was later changed to N7000 but it was kept as i9220 in some markets.

Lol, had me there for a second
If I scavenge around this site and Google hard enough, I can find this question asked a few times, but none have definitive answers. This is a phone that I'm extremely interested in purchasing, as the Sony XPeria Z and Samsung Galaxy S 4 don't have an appeal remotely close to that of the HTC One's. Wind Mobile is a hard carrier to find phones for it seems, but I'd really love to use this phone on my network. Since the international and LTE variant lack the AWS 3G band to support Wind, would the T-Mobile version be compatible? On T-Mobile's website, it states that the UMTS Band IV is 1700/2100, which should be compatible with Wind's 3G network. I would just like to confirm this is true? Normally, I don't like to start new threads to a simple natured question like this, but I'm pretty much desperate to confirm whether or not I can use this phone. That way I'll know whether or not to get excited, or just stick with my S3. Thanks, it's much appreciated.

Was on wind in the past, yea it's hard to find devices for this carrier because it's strictly on AWS for its data and services.
The HTC One might work...but if I recall correctly you need 1700/1900/2100 frequencies for HSPA+ or something.
If it's anything like the original Galaxy Note, you may have to flash a radio or something to make it compatible with wind IF this phone is pentaband. If it isn't, f forget it because no amount of radio flashing will work if it the hardware doesn't support it.

Anyone play around with the idea of loading the T-mobile S8 firmware onto the Exynos international version of the phone to see if that would be enough to get Wifi calling working? Wifi calling is essential to me since I work in a building with great wifi but no service.

You cannot install Snapdragon firmware on an Exynos based phone. This will lead to a brick. The only thing from a Snapdragon firmware you can install I believe is CSC but don't quote me on that.

I was also wondering if flashing the tmobile CSC to the 955F would enable wifi calling. The only LTE band that the Exynos variant doesn't have that T-mobile uses is 66 and from what I've been able to research that's not sued int he NYC area. But wifi calling is critical. I use it a lot to call back home when I travel abroad.

That is incorrect. The 950F does support band 66. I took this from service mode on my 950F

Thanks but there's something weird about your screenshot. Band 32 is out of order and is not used on any Samsung phone. I think that should be 42. I find it hard to believe that there is a typo in the service menu.
I was using frequencycheck.com and willmydevicework.com as my sources. I agree that on this point I'm positive that the 950 and 955 should be the same.

Yeah it's strange and I do think it's a typo. But that's what service mode shows, regardless of which SIM I select.
With the exynos you'll also lose VoLTE. Meaning in areas where T-Mobile is using B12 LTE to extend the range of its network (B12 LTE 700mhz goes further than their EDGE and HSPA network (1700,1900,2100mhz) so if you're in an area and only have B12 LTE signal you won't be able to make or receive calls or texts. And in an emergency scenario if there was no other network for your phone to roam to, you also wouldn't be able to dial 911. Kinda an important feature imo.
I use the 930F on t-mobile and will likely do the same with the s8. If you care about rooting, you should get a 950f. It can be rooted easily and with root, you can get TKKG1994's CSC selection tool and use it to enable VOLTE/Wifi calling). If you aren't going to root, then the carrier phone is good.
I don't know how gigabit LTE is affected but I doubt in 2017 this is a game changer.
Hi, I purchased an international equinox Note 9 on eBay and I'm using with my T-Mobile sim, however, some apps like Samsung pay and Samsung gear do not work and Samsung pay only shows in Thai language (I think) with no way to change it to English. Is there another firmware I can flash without rooting it that would fix this so it can work better here in the US? Thanks

Unfortunately Samsung Pay is dependent on the device's origin. You won't be able to use Samsung Pay in the US with your N960F as Samsung Pay on that device requires a EU Credit Card to be registered. Installing the US OS onto it will possibly brick it.

Yes do not flash Snapdragon firmwares onto Exynos devices (or vice versa), ever...Odin likely won't let you do it anyways, but if it did you would definitely have a brick. You can change to U.S. CSC on Exynos only if rooted, but that would trip Knox and kill Samsung Pay forever anyways...

Hi, I purchased an international equinox Note 9 on eBay and I'm using with my T-Mobile sim, however, some apps like Samsung pay and Samsung gear do not work and Samsung pay only shows in Thai language (I think) with no way to change it to English. Is there another firmware I can flash without rooting it that would fix this so it can work better here in the US? Thanks

Where did you get it from on eBAy? I think of buying one.
Also, Thai firmware will work with Baml visa. I am from Thailand, and I am using sS Pay with BaML everyday
I bought my Exynos Note 9 from nevermsrp on eBay. These phones originated from Singapore where I think Samsung Pay works in the states. I'll set it up when I'm at the office and let you guys know.

Hi thanks for your replies, yes same here nevermsrp on ebay. I'm thinking I will go the rooting way, Google pay should work plus here in the US there are other features not working without root like wifi calling or VoLTE, and I believe the warranty is not valid here anyways.

Same, purchased a Note 9 Exynos from ebay (Asian version) and was trying to figure out how to make Samsung Pay work, tried registering my card through that built in Asian Samsung Pay app and it worked, did you try adding the card? Mine worked and only miss out on the rewards because I do get points with every purchase but they would work in Asia.
I didn't really try because it was all in another language and I couldn't find a way to change it to English. Do you get wifi calling? I also have a gear S3 watch that I was planning to use for Samsung pay and rewards but for some reason the app is not able to find it, I guess it's expecting to find the asian version.

I was able to register my phone with Samsung Pay and add US Credit Card issued by Bank of America. I read on Reddit that you do lose out on Samsung rewards when you use the Exnyos model in the US.

I'm on T-Mobile but I don't have Wifi calling nor Volte, I saw a thread here where you can enable it using this:

I don't feel like rooting my phone, and since I only make phone calls when it need be (10 a month tops) non of those features are must for me. If you were to root you'd trip Knox and give up Pay, not sure if it can be undone.

Yeah same here, accumulated points through Samsung Pay would only be good to use in the country the phone was purchased. I can live with that though.
