Hello all,
I discovered the galaxy s pro (epic)some weeks ago, and I search information for found a French equivalent. And don't found it.
It seems not possible to buy a French Epic version.
Currently, I use the galaxy s (i9000), and I have already change my rom many time and I have found different modem versions: corresponding to your country.
My question is :
Is it possible to change the modem sotfware or a equivalent for use an Epic phone in french network (SFR / Orange or bouygues telecom..)
I haven't found thread concerned this...
Sorry for my bad english, I'm french, and don't practice it every day...

It may be possible if you have any cdma networks in france.

You also might have a better chance now that Verizon is also getting a Galaxy model with a sliding keyboard.
I think you mean att is getting the sII slider which could be unlocked for international use.. eventually. I do not believe they have many cdma networks (verizon, metro, sprint) in europe but if you want it it would be worth researching. By the way your english is fine. Just as good as some others on these forums anyways. also lol at galaxy s pro a wonderful pun on the touch pro.
Cd's or tapes?
Edit: looked into it and the three providers you listed are indeed gsm. So they wouldn't be compatible with our epic. Better move stateside.
I have a friend visiting Korea next month, and I was wondering if anyone is from there that have purchased the Galaxy Nexus. I would assume given that it's Samsung, they would sell their flagship Nexus phone there, too, correct?
I know it's a world phone with pentaband, so regardless of where it comes from, it should still run on Tmobile's network and 3G data, even if it's one from Korea, correct?
My other concern is whether the phone will offer an English (USA) option. Does anyone know?
And in general, are there other reasons/concerns I should consider before I have a friend purchase it from Korea to bring back to the US for me? I'm hoping this will be a cheaper method... possibly?
Probably need a connection to get one in korea. No official release in korea that is known. On the other hand, if you have a samsung connection you should go for thenexus gold and try to get a 32gb galaxy nexus gsm version.
Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
Its not for sale anywhere but the UK right now.
To answer your other question, yes, it will work on T-mobile US just fine.
Thanks for the replies. Interesting that it's not sold yet even in Samsung's home country...
Well, if my friend misses the release, it's not a biggie.
Would anyone know about the language? The device will have an option to have it all in English, correct? Or any other concerns, like whether I will be use apps from the US, etc?

selling phones has nothing to do with where the manufactures headquarters is located. And to answer your question about English being an option, pretty much all Android ROMS offer English as an option for the main language
The problem might be getting to the english option though.

The Galaxy Nexus in Korea actually went on sale 11/28 along with the LTE Galaxy Note. The English option should not be a problem since on stock android you have the option of setting your default language from Korean to English or vice versa. The only problem is that by default it would come with Korean and you need to navigate to the Language/Text Input options. I can help you with that if you'd like.
Thanks for the responses, everyone.

Do you happen to know how much the Galaxy Nexus is going for in Korea? I would only ask my friend to bring me back one if the price was significantly cheaper than say importing it through expansy or handtec.
Also, if and when the time comes, I may take you up on your offer of help for navigating the menus to switch to English. =D
+ 1, a friend is there until mid December. Check this article out: http://phandroid.com/2011/11/29/gal...ah-extended-battery-and-cover-in-south-korea/
Who wouldn't want to get it from there..

T-mobile US uses 1700/2100 (AWS) for 3G. The Galaxy Nexus is pentaband and works on pretty much any GSM network in the world.
Perfect, thanks. I'll see if i can find them. Hoping for under $700 UDS

Yes, please share the price.
I am living in Seoul and have been using my GSM Galaxy Nexus for a few days (shipped from UK). It works fine.
I wouldn't recommend buying a Korean Galaxy Nexus though because:
a) I am not sure there are GSM models available for sale here
b) A Korean GSM model (if available) may not work outside Korea for things like SMS and MMS
c) Bloody expensive here. It's a captive market so the koreans get screwed.
It is best to buy an unlocked Galaxy Nexus from abroad and bring it here. Even then, it's a right pain to get a simcard. I know, I've been through it.

The SK Telecom WCDMA uses 2100MGHz.
Not to be off topic but has your friend considered a Galaxy S II HD?

I'm curious, too. Except for the vanilla android experience, I would seriously consider the Galaxy S II HD LTE in Korea.

Can you tell us how much it is in Korea?
The build of ICS that shipped on my Wind Mobile GN has no "English (Canada)" language setting. Seems sloppy to sell it that way on a Canadian carrier. Is there any stock build I can flash that does have it?

If there any difference between Canadian and US English?

Yes. We are somewhere between what is considered standard USA and UK English. We did not adopt US spelling reforms but only some became standard.
e.g. colour (CDN/UK), not color (US)
jail (CDN/US), not gaol
travelling (CDN/UK), not traveling (US)
dialing (CDN/US), not dialling (UK)
analyze (CDN/US), not analyse (UK)
centre (CDN/UK), not center (US)
cheque (CDN/UK), not check (US)
tire (CDN/US), not tyre (UK)
etc.
And occasional distinctions such as: "There is a parking meter located 1 metre away."
So I set it to UK English but it's still not quite right. When I call someone it says "dialling"
And of course, dollars $ not pounds £, and more often than not, metric units rather than imperial.
Chill out dude - if you don't like it, you know where the door is...

People should be able to use their preferred language. I don't know what the big deal is.

You must not work with professionals. If I write an email to a customer with words from a different language, I'll look like an idiot.
I'm glad some of us wish to remain professional with our written words.
If you want Canadian English then pick the UK version since our English comes from them anyways. Thats what I picked, and if a word comes up that isnt in the dictionary you could always just add it into it so it will be there the next time.
Agreed, this is a huge problem for business writing...
Someone please make sure google is well aware of this. Let me know what I can do to help.

Yes but CDN English is still not the same as UK English. When my locale is set to UK, the dollar signs in Yelp come up as £, the search page goes to google.co.uk, and I get wrong spellings like "dialling".
The Nexus One came with a CDN English setting so I don't know why this one didn't.
Hi I was wondering if there is a language pack for the AT&T version of the galaxy s3. I'm purchasing another galaxy s3 for my dad, but I noticed there isn't a Chinese language option for the U.S variants, just Korean, French, Spanish etc. So I was curios, is there a way to install it, or is there a custom ROM? I noticed some international variants have Chinese available and is there a way to flash an international firmware onto the U.S variant. Thanks for any help.
I believe the cyanogen ROMS have more launguage options. I think i remember a post a while back The aokp ROMS might but they should. Give them a try. Try the search function too. There are plenty of threads about it to help you.

I noticed that the price of the note 2 in Germany is cheaper, than in the UK.
Just wondering if there is any downside about buying one from Germany?
I assume I'll be able to get the phone configured into English.
Would I be able to flash UK firmware on to it, or wouldn't it matter?
I'd only get the n7100 as I don't care about lte just yet.
thanks.
Yes of course the european version of the phone is the same, you will just have to chose English when you first turn on the phone.

It might be cheaper, but you might need to pay import tax when it arrives, unless you're planning a physical visit.
