LTE is a faster connection type just like we have GPRS < EDGE < 3G/HSPA < LTE. So basically faster speed, thats why most imes you hear them call it as 4G LTE. So faster speed. Operators suck as Sprint, AT&T and Verizon in the US offer such data speeds. AT&T is said to be the fastest with an 'AVERAGE' of 16.7Mbps download and 7.4Mbps upload speeds. Average speed oh! not fastest. But who for Naija wan give you dat kain speed? I mean truely!

Anyways, bottom-line is LTE is not useful in Nigeria and even if you have dat type of speed, then they now cap ur allowance to 1GB or so. wats the use? Lol. And Always buy and International version phone.

For example,
International S2 (GT-I9100)
International S3 (GT-I9300)
International S4 (GT-I9500)

International Note (GT-N7000)
International Note 2 (GT-N7100)

International Note 3 might likely be GT-N7200. Lol! I'm drifting away!

Anyways, if you come to ask for a problem to ur US variant phone. I might not even mind you. Cheers!

Yungbitz: My S2 screen has a crack and d screen doesnt turn on...only d button shows lite wen pressed..is my screen bad?ow much 4 a new1?

no 1 wanys 2help me wit deir xpert opinion?

vivichocs: tanx so much, I really do appreciate..buh do u think d lte version(s3 19305) ll be usefl outside nigeria.someone is advising me to buy d 19305 cos it hs 2gig ram,supports 4g netwrk and works in all countries(nt customized).sorry for bothering u with so much questions ..just dont want to make mistake plus i dont really know much abt phones

Stanley08:
All GT-I9100 ROMs are compatible with all GT-9100. check under the battery also to be sure. Anyways, visit sammobile.com to get newest firmwares.

nani.666:
the truth is that the best option for you to buy would be the LTE version.... it has 2GB RAM and 4G like you said..although the 4G is useless cos you won't receive 4G here in Nigeria.. but the 2GB of RAM space is always a better option... it's AT&T branded but that doesn't change anything.. as long as it's unlocked it'll perform the same functions as the unbranded version.. and even better... given the 2GB of RAM space

vivichocs: tanx so much, I really do appreciate..buh do u think d lte version(s3 19305) ll be usefl outside nigeria.someone is advising me to buy d 19305 cos it hs 2gig ram,supports 4g netwrk and works in all countries(nt customized).sorry for bothering u with so much questions ..just dont want to make mistake plus i dont really know much abt phones

wozup: pls someone should hlp nd direct me on how to root nd upgrade my samsung galaxy pocket v.2.2.0. Tnx.

Pimples: I urgently need a battery for my galaxy S2. As the follow come battery has expired and is performing poorly. However I discovered that there is a Higher capacity/extended battery for the Phone.
Please any idea where I can get it or the normal one. And what is the price?

francis247: Thanks a lot. I've checked under the battery and GT-19100 is the model number. But won't the phone go back to being locked to Tmobile if I do a factory reset in other to upgrade it? BTW I've downloaded and installed Kies On PC, tried upgrading it, (through tools - firmware upgrade and initialization) though without factory resetting the phone, but it keeps saying "GT-19100 does not support initializing". I cannot do OTA update directly from the phone either because there is no "software update" option in the "settings - about phone" menu on the device. Please help me check if this really is the international version as it only has "Kies air" application but does not have "Samsung Kies" in settings menu nor NFC.

francis247: Stan please help.

Stanley08:

I will say again, i advice to buy only main flagships. I9305 is not bad. But instead, get the real beast N7100 Note 2. Outstanding battery life, bigger screen, 2GB. If you are not that into technology and android customizing, modding, custom roms and kernels. Then get I9305. I'm a geek, these things are important to me.



Wrong thread



Not here, market.

atilla:
Please what is a custom rom and what does root phone mean. Does it mean to plant my phone

febbymi:
In oda words the note2 is beta dan the s3?

zeelo2014: Rename and flash these 3 files (NO NEED to add PIT or Checksum during flashing)

PDA = CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar

PHONE = MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar

CSC = CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.tar

Rename by removing the .md5 in the above 3 files. (Hence CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.md5 will now just be CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar) do same to others.


NO NEED TO ADD THE PIT FILE. DON'T ADD!!!

^^^ This is the part that got me confused. I have gt I9100 on gingerbread. Tried upgrading through kies but couldn't cos of firmware. So I checked & found out it was already rooted. Now I want to go the odin way. How do I flash those files u mentioned.what do u mean by flashing?

francis247: Stan please help.

febbymi:

francis247: If you have any other link to download this file, please share. The "regular download" link is way too slow and disconnects often when the download is just 3 to 4% gone and I'very tried upgrading to premium account without success. BTW, must USB debugging be enabled before flashing/must the phone be rooted? Thanks

uju22: jus got S2 dont knw anytin abut it, pleaseplease i install a game in my S2, but want to uninstall it, dnt knw how to do it.

Lol, he is complaining about a Game on his Grand Duos.

Stanley08:

Yes, that's the problem we face, all sammy stock ROMs are uploaded to Hotfile... Most times I have to remote control my friend's PC in Dubai, download it to his computer, then split and RAR it into smaller sizes and download them then join on my own PC. So, well
