folks this is important and could save you your phone
there is a visual similarity between the Nitro HD P930 and a very similar looking phone, the Optimus LTE LU-6200.
there have been some questions in the forum over cross compatibility on the software. currently it isn't.
if you flash the wrong software to the wrong phone this could result in a brick.
please be aware and pick the right software?

Chris
Thanks for your warning.
But i guess the P930 is the canadian Bell version, i have this ROM version from day one on my korean LU6200 device and it works.
I dont flash a Nitro HD ROM to my phone, because it could be a big problem (brick).
LU6200
SU640
Nitro HD (AT&T)
P930 (Bell)
Thats the devices i know at this time.
Someone figured out how to 'hack' the SU-640 GB ROM and port it to the LU-6200. Guess what, they are both Asian SKU's. We are referring to the ICS development ROM that was leaked in Asia a week or so ago. As of right now, no one has figured out a way to get it onto a North American P930. Until that time comes, don't assume that it will work.

Hi Chris, thank you for the warning to all the users, but if I may suggest, can you also sticky this warning in the General area, since most of the discussions seems to take place there.

Canadian Optimus LTE (BELL P930) has the same name as Optimus LTE (korean version) and yet hardware is the same as NitroHD
It is similar to the SU-640, not the LU-6200.
In canada its a P935
sent from LG OPTIMUS LTE using Tapatalk
ummmm actually in Canada its a " Bell Optimus LTE P930 " to be exact..
i would know as im holding mine in my hand to confirm this
From what I am hearing there are two versions of the same phone in canada depending on the carrier...I think bell is the p930 similar to the nitro hd and the su640
I think that another carrier came out with the p935 which is the same phone essentially...but stuff enough might be different to make it not compatible with what those of us with p930's have.
interesting cuz i thought this was the only one of its kind
but hey... all i know is LG has some nice hardware in this lil package, and id love to see some CM lovin for us.. otherwise, my plans to swap over to a galaxy nexus will still take place, that is once i can afford it... this damn LG sucked out $630 before tax's as i bought it outright then another $30 for unlocking
TELUS has the P935, while Bell has the P930. They are both related to the AT&T Nitro HD but with a slightly different baseband. The LU-6200 is a different animal all together. Different bootloader, different ROM, different baseband.
Does the AT&T version have any model number to go along with it or is it just known as Nitro HD? all the other ones have some tag along

The AT&T LG Nitro HD has the model number P930
the vs920.... verizon lg spectrum.. has different partitions.. and it can be bricked by flashing any other rom.. from what ive read on other forums..
And to top that off, the VS930 is coming to verizon soon.
how about the Japanese version LG Optimus LTE l01d is this model compatible with Nitro HD roms?

No.
Are the Nitro HD P936 roms/kernels/recoveries compatible with the Optimus True HD P936?
Um...
I'm confused out the ying yang. I have the Bell LG Optimus 4G LTE, and under my battery it says P930.
Do I flash Nitro HD P930 ROMs, or LG SU640 ROMs?
Thanks.

The name "Optimus 2x" has become ambiguous because it refers to two different models now:
In Europe and Asia: Optimus 2x = LG P990, with the LG UI customizations.
In Canada: Optimus 2x = LG P999, same device as T-mobile G2x, with the stock like UI. But they didn't call the G2x because T-mobile items that trademark.
There is already a thread in which a few Canadian users almost bricked their P999 by following P990 instructions.
Could we please do something to resolve this ambiguity? At the very least put the model numbers into the forum titles.
Rename LG Optimus 2x -> LG P990: Optimus 2x
Rename T-mobile G2x -> LG P999: T-mobile G2x & CDN Optimus 2x
That way everybody ends up in the right forum and nobody's phone gets bricked. Any thoughts?

I think you've answered one of my questions! I live in Canada and have the LG Optimux 2x (P999). Is it the same as the G2X?
I'm not sure which forum to search in (the LG Optimus 2x or the T-Mobile G2X)?
By seeing this:
"Rename T-mobile G2x -> LG P999: T-mobile G2x & CDN Optimus 2x"...
...I assume I have to look in the T-Mobile G2X forum if I want info about my phone and not the LG Optimux 2x forum, even though my phone is an LG?
Correct. The P999 means you look in the G2X forum.
Just to confuse things further, now Fido Canada has released the Optimus 2X as well but it's not the same device at all as the one on Wind. I believe it's a variant of the P990 with 850/1900/2100 3G. I don't yet know what the model number is. There's a chance that the baseband from both previously released variants could brick out.

Great, thank you so much for your reply!
I'm new to this. This is my first smartphone and I was confused between LG Optimux 2x, T-Mobile G2x, P990 and P999.
I know I have a P999 but it's a LG, not a T-Mobile, that's why I got confused.
I will now do my searches under the T-Mobile G2x forum.
I really hope the moderators will listen to your suggestion and change the forum names. It would help newbies like me!

Then you will have to find someone who took a backup of their stock Fido O2X. Anyway I see you started a thread in the O2X forum so I guess it should be addressed there not here.
Yes this definitely needs changing, there are a lot of P999 O2X's popping up in the P990 section.
Looks like someone's flashed their P999 O2X with some P990 stuff and it's not done it any good (no service).

Just wanted to let everyone know that Bell is stating their LG Optimus LTE is actually the LG P930 Nitro HD (as per the box and the internal OS). Seems to be a bit of confusion on the 'Net. Anyone able to figure this out? Comparison??? Bell vs. AT&T
Doesn't seem to be any sort of a huge difference? Seems basically the same to me other than a few things.
Confusion?
The Optimus LTE is heavier, lacks the extra 2 GB ram, adds the 1700MHz spectrum so it is compatible with WIND, comes with only an 8GB TF SDHC card, no fm radio. some are big differences i would think?
if you go LG.com, it listed Optimus LTE p930 same as Nitro p930.
specs?
If you look, the P930 has different specs than the LTE specs listed all over the 'Net. hence why i started this [Q] to clear up the 2 models conflicting with what Bell is sending out to customers vs. AT&T's Nitro HD P930.
My original [Q] is still unanswered: Bell is handing out the Optimus LTE 4G with boxes and firmware showing it is a P930, yet the specs for the P930 are different from what they are handing out. Which is the right P930??? Bell's or AT&T's?
There ARE differences. see my previous post for them.

Sorry little off topic what the hell happened to your phones lol. some are kia and others exploded.

Little off topic is true. maybe he's had bad luck or bad units or the zerglings got him?
Going off topic/the record, I have had the worse luck when it comes to phone this year.
-Atrix sorta burst into a tiny flame while charging
- 1st BB drowned, 2nd had faulty keys and the 3rd one permanently froze
- Whatever bugs/defects that were reported with the Sensation, happened to me
- The Torch and Bold basically died and wouldnt charge or turn on.
Thankfully, I have the PEP plan from Best Buy <3. Technically saved me over $3000 haha

Wow, that's interesting. I knew they had differences in software but I didn't think they had some differences in hardware too, considering that they call the Optimus LTE a Nitro HD. Does my Nitro HD have a radio/FM antenna? How does one go about using it?

Optimus LTE and LG Nitro is the same phone! both phone listed as P930 on lg.com !
optimus lacks the extra 2gb ram? on my nitro, it listed Internal storage available space 1.53GB. i not even sure nitro has 4gb to begin with.
so nitro has fm radio? the nitro never comes with headset (att is getting cheap! haha) and there is no FM app preinstalled on Nitro!
Bell vs AT&T
Check out GSMArena. They have both phones listed and they are different. One is manufactured for Bell Canada and one is manufactured for AT&T. "They are different". The AT&T model has a radio with RDS the Bell one has no radio.. The AT&T model has only the one "LTE 700" frequency. the Bell has 700 and 1700. AT&T has 4 gig but Bell only 2 gig. Bell Canada LTE is rated at 75 Mbps, AT&T 21 max. There may be other differences. Check the site for yourself and see.
I am still debating which new phone to purchase and leaning to the LG. My current phone does not have the worlds greatest battery life so not getting a full day out of the LT is not a major concern. And talking for three hours,I don't think so.

you know how to check out gsmarena but not att.com, lg.com or get the Nitro user manual from lg.com?? radio is never mentioned on nitro!
just cus it' on gsmarena, it must be accurate?
att version maxed out at 21mb? is there such a thing as LTE maxed out 21mb? haha
21mb is hspa+
I just did a speedtests on nitro and get 27mb!
not exactly reliable sources...
If your phone doesn't say "AT&T" above the screen, then you're getting the Optimus LTE. Only AT&T has the Nitro HD (name wise), and unless they're gonna bother switching out the glass/digitizer, you didn't get the nitro hd.
New Thread for Optimus LTE??
So based on each carriers website, and the manufacturer admitting they are different models, would it be out of line to start a separate thread for the LTE P930 vs. the Nitro P930 and set the naming convention to differentiate between the two models and XDA support?
Can a Mod give their input on this please??? I am just trying to clarify this before this thread gets bloated with unnecessary posts that will eventually lead to confusion and eventually blurs the line between the two models and set up some sort of clarity for future posts and support...

dude, it doesn't even matter. The Nexus S had i9023, i9020t, and i9020A and they coexist fine. The difference in radio(freq) just means you can't put out roms that changes the baseband.
don't you mean the fact the Optimus LTE has only 2GB of internal memory vs. 4GB of internal memory on the Nitro is also a large difference as well as the lack of the dual LTE frequencies vs the Nitro? or do we need to go further into the other hardware differences (ie: screens etc?)
AT&T's LG Nitro HD and Bell's LG Optimus LTE are both P930. Anything different on LG P935? Just saw this video: LG P935
The only difference is it has a multi-volt flux capacitor
That's it? I thought there ought to be more. Better battery perhaps.
@Sharpshooterrr,
I think he's yanking your chain (flux capacitor--Back to the Future). At this point it looks like the exact same device as our Nitro HD and the Optimus 4G LTE released for Bell, but maybe is just Telus' version. I'm intrigued to know if there are legitimate hardware differences that make it superior, but I'm kind of doubting there are.

I have an LU6200 which I am planning to use in Canada when I move there. Since it is LTE-800 and canadian CSP Bell provides with LTE-700, my question is, while moving the bell V20e rom, will I be able to use 4G in canada? or do I must have a Nitro HD or Bell's P935?
Thanks

The LU6200 doesn't have the requisite antennas for 4G reception in Canada. Switching ROMs wouldn't help.
Hi there,
I hope that I'm posting on the right place and sorry for my bad english.
I've searched everywhere on the web for infos about the sprint lg g2 ls980 lte limitations, and there are quite a lot of suggestions that the limitation is hardware level.
Today I found a guy that sells ls980 on ebay and he guaranties that the llimitation is sofware based and that the ls980 that he sells is open to 5 lte bands. He told me that you just need to instruct the modem to communicate on those frequencies.
Is this possible, a scam, something new.??...
Please do comment about this subject, all comments are wellcome.
I can't post the link for the ls980 on sale, but the sale title on ebay is :
LG G2 32GB Unlocked Worldwide & Rooted Smartphone Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
The seller is : droid_toy
For info, I have an ls980, allready flashed the same rom the guy uses but no 4g on band 7 with my sim card, and he states that the band 7 works on hes ls980.
Thank you,
I'm sure its possible maybee even more but good luck on the radio thats carrier based

I don't really know how the guy has done it...
Allready tryed, with an d801 from tmob, to flash it with an d802 rom, then flash an d801 kernel and no other ltes other then the original ones. The weird thing is that if then I try to flash just the radio over all this it will brick, what I find weird since the rom is allready a d802 rom and it is just the boot that is from a d801. (Flashing boot and radio changes commun things?)
Anyway, back to subject, if this method fails then on ls980 it also fails...
How it is possible to have other radios on ls980 and he acctually accepts then well?
Also the d801 when unlocked by code doesn't unlock other lte bands, so for ls980 it is not that either... I haven't tryed yeat, but I belive that with an d802 base rom on ls980 we gain access to same dial codes then d802, so it turns out to be possible to unlock the phone by code. Am I correct?
How can it possibly be done, can you point me some directions on how to try to unlock the lte bands?
Hi there,
No suggestions, no ideas, anyone?
Is it possible that the lte band permission are guiven by the kernel?
it is not a pentaband phone and it is a hardware limitation so buyer beware and don't get ripped off

Hi there,
Sorry to bother you again, but, are you 100% sure?
According to this site http://pdadb.net/ both ls980 and d802 models share the exact same processor, and this processor has the modem integrated, so, booth models should have the same capabilities.
What am I missing? Is there any other chip associated with the modem and responsable for the bands comunication?
Thanks in advance,

its not the chipset that is the problem it is the actual physical antennas you can have the same chipset in all models but the actual antennas are different making it not possible to pick up the other signals. Thats what makes it a hardware issue
Also I can not find the seller on ebay

For info, I'll continue to report my experiences.
As I think I've understood on the web, the 4g antenna is a part of the flex,/micro/charger piece.
As I have a few spare parts, I tryed to use a d802 motherboard with a flex cable I had from an ls980, to try and see if I would loose my band 7 4g on the d802.
Didn't worked at all, the d802 couldn't detect a sim card with that combination, whitch I find a bit weird as result since the sim is connected to the noard...
Next step, I'm waiting for some parts to try a combo ls980 board flashed with a rayglobe firmware + d802 flex cable (4g antenna).
I don't have much hope but, hey, we never know...
