I have my partner in Korea at the moment, and she might buy me the Korean SGS IV. It has LTE and the 1.8ghz Exynos chip.. are there any issues with using it, for instance, I can say I am in Australia? Im pretty sure it has all the LTE bands but does anyone know if it has some ugly extra antenna or doesnt send proper sized SMS? Thanks
Far as I understand it, the Korean version won't work on LTE in America. Sorry.
yes, it has a retractable antenna and sms is handicapped.

HUH? No retractable antenna on the Korean version. lol
You can fix the sms errors usually with a simple build prop edit.. (Root is needed) or by using an alternative sms app such as go sms pro..
Ive been using a optimus g pro for a month or so and everything works as expected

And where exactly is that understanding coming from? From the Samsung twitter feed that says the Exynos 5 supports all 20 LTE bands?
Samsung Exynos 5 Octa Works on All 20 LTE Bands
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SHV-E300S/K)

You're right about that. The chip supports it. But they only support radios in their own regions, for the most part. It would need radios capable of picking up all those networks.
Be very careful about buying from Korea. I'm in New Zealand and had to return my LG Optimus G Pro as some of the 3G frequencies were not supported despite the inter national specs saying they were.
Also apps like gosms did not work as a go around for the 80 sms character limit.
I really wouldn't bother risking it for a marginally faster phone. Get one at home where you know it is optimised to work on your home networks.

Hello everyone.
Anyone knows how to root Korean GS4 SHV-E300S?
Thnx
Will the Korean version work in the states on T-Mobile oR ATT ?
I sucsessfully improted a SHV-E300L
Hi folks
I bought a korean sgs-iv 32gb at XXX link removed due to forum policy XXX
I use it in germany on e-plus network and it works fine. I haven't tested LTE cuse I don't need it.
I could switch the phone and input to german language and almost everything is like a standard german s4 only some widgets remained korean and sms only support 80 chars. I'm optimistice that i'll be able to fix those small problems (with some help from YOU at XDAD).
btw the korean s4 has an antenna for dvbm, it's useless in europe but I use it to distinguish myself from the other standart s4 users and say: "size matters ".
I'm fully sattisfied with my purchase. It took about one week till my device was deliverd, the shop informed me abut every step in the delivery process (e.g. device arrived in europe..).
if you got any questions about the korean version i'll try to answre them... i'd say go ahead and get one...

Unfortunately those are part of the stock rom so we won't be able to change the korean language for all system apps. a work around on the 80char sms would be to use 3rd party apps such Go SMS. ive been using it since day1. by the way make sure to backup your STOCK rom for SHV-E300L, there aren't seem to be any roms like that available even here in XDADevelopers. incase you encountere software problem its always a good idea to have a backup on your pc.
Im stationed in Korea and i got the S4. Ive got it rooted and looking for alternative roms to flash as the battery life is horrible even with the extra battery provided. Would the 9500 series roms work on the Korean S4. I am guessing the rom would have to not include the modem to avoid errors, any feedback would be great . Mahalo

Change of language for the Koean SHV E300L
Hi there!
I need some quick tips on how you changed the language on your SHV E300L from Korean to German. I have just bought one and am having serious trouble even getting started as I do not understand the language, and so I cannot even configure the settings. I need help to import English language on my phone. Are you able to kindly run me through the process?
I'll appreciate your help.
Regards.

Man I hate it when companies release so many different model names for the same phone, just makes everything confusing.
Anyways I can buy the D802 or the F320s.
As far as I can tell the F320s has LTE-A which I don't care about since we don't have that here yet, and from a review I saw on youtube a removable back cover and battery. Does this mean it has an SD card slot as well?
As far as I can tell the D802 is the same as the At&T LG G2 or Verizon I am not sure, but unbranded.
Is there any downside to going with the one with removable battery over non-removable? I heard one performs better in terms of battery life is this true?
I'm pretty sure all Korean versions (F320X) have a removable battery (2610 mAh) and expandable storage. US versions have non-removable battery (3000 mAh) but no sd card slot.

F320S might not work with your Teleco(at&t and verizon) thus you will only be able to get 3g speed instead however the korean variant has an extra but smaller battery @2610mAH and a extra desktop charger with the removable micro sd card. If LTE which is a must then go with the D802

I'm not located in the US. I double checked the supported bands and it supports our lte frequency thankfully but I am kinda sad that the batter is smaller. I couldn't find the d802 anywhere online.

Does the D802 have a recovery?
Yeah the Korean version has a removable 2610 mAh battery and SD card. But the international version (everyone outside of Korea) has pretty much the same 3000 mah non removable battery and no SD. From what I've seen only big red (Verizon) felt the need to add their input to the design on their network. To answer the battery question the 3000 mAh would last longer because it's bigger but the removable battery is nice because if your phone dies you can just pop in a new battery but honestly with the 3000 mAh battery I can go about a day and a half with heavy use.

LG G2 - Hardware Query - Display Unit F320s VS D802
Hi,
I have a LG G2 F320S the Korean Version with a semi working touch screen digitizer.
The phone was exposed to direct sunlight for a long time and I think that might have caused the issue.
Q - Does the Display Unit of LG G2 D802 (The Indian/International Version) fits the LG G2 F320s (The Korean LTE A version)?
Thanx in advance.
Cheers.

i think both are the same, but the korean version has removable battery and micro sd slot which are awesome. but with 3000mah battery on the D802, i never run out of juice before the end of the day though. and i believe the d802 has much better dev support in custom rom and tweaks.

Thanks. I still thinking to buy one. Removable battery n ext sd card is a must for me. Korean version included 2 batteries n desktop chargers thats a bonus. But what a point of that if the performance is lower than international version one. I guess need an answer from people who have international and korean version lg g2 to satisfy me.

Hi all
I managed to get ahold of an n910k note 4 but for some reason it doesn't seem to get LTE on the o2 network.
I am guessing it has something to do with band settings or maybe the modem, is there any way to change which frequency is being used so I can pickup LTE ?
thank you all
O2 onlu use 4G in 800MHz and the Korean version doesn't have this band...
You should have checked this before buying the phone.
Damn, there is no way to add it? Maybe someone could send me a different modem?

Hello
I am from India and I've been trying to purchase a Galaxy S5 from ebay. There is one available with a trusted seller with a good price but the model is S5 Duos and model number is G900FD. I know Indian versions are supposed to be G900I. So my question is this: Will the same custom ROMs for Galaxy S5 work with Galaxy S5 duos? or is there a slight change in the source files that makes it incompatible with s5 roms and leave me at the mercy of Touchwiz forever?

No they aren't compatible. You could flash the custom roms but you won't have network signal after. Though there are a number of custom roms for the dual aim variant if you want.

Hello, If you dislike touchwiz you can still install a alternative launcher. I did not try on the GS5 but I had a GS3 before and I succefully replace touchwiz by Apex launcher. Once the alternate launcher is started you can still kill samsung one.

Can't say anything about the dual sim version because I didnt buy it...

Was hard to obtain actually. Got it from ebay finally but its a version without warranty becuase technically its smuggled. As for battery backup, it loses 10-20% over a day without using 3g/wifi, 40-60% over a day while using either of them. The screen is absolutely brilliant.
I am also thinking of getting it from eBay which seller did u buy it from and how's the screen on time you get with it
I am returning my G900H to flipkart and would get refund, I am thinking to either get this or Xiaomi MI4
