Hello All,
Quick question: I have an unlocked rogers version that I use on fido. I received the latest software patch, still on ICS. Does it come from fido or lg?
Also, when JB comes out will I get it while on fido network?
Rogers owns fido and uses the same network. This phone is offered on rogers and not on fido. That's why I'm suprised I got the update and I'm hoping I get JB. Just don't know who sends it.
I asked this question in the Canadian Update Thread but got no responses. Please excuse me for the double post.
Finally, the phone is unlocked through Rogers, according to the guy I bought the phone from. I think this may be true since after the update the phone still works with Fido. If this is the case, will I be able to root my phone, install custom ROMS and continue using the phone on any network with needing to unlock the phone again?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm a total newb and coming from IOS, completely new to android. JB IOS was second nature, I just have to relearn everything for Android.
Thank You
Doubt the phone is unlocked. Most Rogers phones work with Fido without unlocking. Best way to check if it is unlocked is to use a non Fido sim.

I see. Don't know anyone that's on another carrier other than Rogers or Fido.
Is there another way to tell?
thanks
Your phone receiving updates from rogers
Your phone always will be unlocked if it was once
Are talking about the fido board network, which is dead for 15 years or there an another Fido exists?

thank you. I was hoping it was LG who sends the updates. Since it's Rogers and I'm on Fido, they don't support the phone I have, my only choice will be to root the phone.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean about the Fido boards
Cause of provider specific soft/settings/specs, not many chances the update policy will ever change.
About the fido - there was a board network every old style geeks know about - the FIDO. Well, in one word - thats a legend, like floppy disc, spectrums and other things.

You will receive the update even if you're not on rogers' network.

Fido is the cheaper partner of Rogers. They use the same cell towers and networks, but have separate accounts and plans.
Similar to how Koodo is the cheaper partner of Tells, and Virgin is the cheaper partner for Bell.
(I miss the old FIDOnet boards. So much nicer than web forums or mailing lists.)

i was thinking of buying AT&T lg optimus g phone on ebay since there cheap. if i got it unlocked would it work on bell ? and have no down effects?
You would be better to get an E973.

there so expensive though? whats the differences?
I just got my e973 from bell today.
It works (LTE TOO!!) on AT&T.
So... I assume the AT&T LGOG works on Bell in the reverse. You will need to setup bell's APNs for sure though.
Good Luck!
Hello
I just bought a new lg g3 d855 unlocked international version im staying for some time in the US and i was wondering if my phone could work with at&t or T-Mobile? I dont care if i dont get LTE i just need it for the basics: calling, messaging and casual internet browsing on the go? And what is the best choice
Thanks
It's an unlocked international version so yes... It's unlocked to work in all countries
E.G I got the Unlocked D855 European one and I'm in Australia and it works fine, I get LTE as well
So could i use the phone here and then use it in my country ?
Hi I have a lg g3 d850 (AT&T) and i want to install the tmobile rom, what do i have to do?????? thx
You'll need to sell your 850 and get an 851. The ROMs (firmware, actually) aren't cross compatible. There are physical differences in the phones.
However, if you want to use the 850 on T-Mobile, first make sure it is SIM-unlocked (talk to ATT or find an online solution), then just put in your ATT APN info and you should be good to go. Certain functionality won't be there (wifi calling).
There might be discussion about attempts to port wifi calling over to the ATT phone, in the 850 discussion areas. This area is for things that pertain to the 851 so you won't find much here.
Good luck!

Hi All,
LG G3 Vigor was the first phone that rogers released supporting VolTE, since rogers also owns fido I bought a used fido lg g3 vigor with hopes to use it with volte. However the moment I attempt to make a call I see that LTE is changing to 4g and I don't see an option to select VOLTE either..
Does anyone know how force/select Volte wit this phone?
Thanks
if i can say...Vigor is a real P,O.S...period !
