Hellow Optimus G enthusiasts! I'm eager to ditch my ugly Galaxy S 3 and get my hands on an Optimus G, Even though I was a little put off LG as i went through four 4X HD's due to dead pixels and dust under the glass!
Anyway, One problem. As most of you know, Its not available in the UK or in Europe. So...
I decided emailed LG yesterday to ask about UK availability and when the Optimus G was going to be released, this was my initial email...
''Hi LG, when will the LG Optimus G (E973) be made available in the UK. Im waiting patiently. Im very optimistic about this device and want to ditch my Galaxy S 3 for it. Please give me some good news!!
Thanks,
Warren''
THIS was the response...
''Dear Warren,
Thank you for your email regarding the E973.
Based on the information you have provided me with and reading through your query, I can advise you to that unfortunatley we do not have any information regarding the UK release date of the Optimus G at this point in time. We thank you for your interest in the handset and I would recommend that you keep checking the LG website for further information on the product.
I hope this has been of assistance to you. However, if the information I have provided does not help you or if you have any further questions please email again or contact our Customer Service Team again on 0844 8475454 or via the Web Chat facility on our website and we will endeavour to do our best to resolve your query.
Please could I ask you to complete a short survey based on the response and information that I have provided you today. All feed back given is greatly appreciated and helps to improve LG Electronics Customer Services.''
-------
I then proceeded to call customer services and ask about it again in hope that I'd be given more info/hints. The woman told me on the phone that there seems to be no details or plans of it ever being released in the UK and explained that normally a device due to be launched usually shows up on their systems a couple of months before hand.
Has anyone else in the UK or europe spoken to LG and had any infomation that conflicts with the above?
Any infomation at all?
Thanks,
Warren.

That's bad news.
I was also thinking to get a Optimus G.
If they release the phone to the European market it will probably be in January 2013.
You guys always could get an USA Optimus G but it needs to be the ATT version. Any other won't work and TMobile USA version will only get Edge in Europe. Also be aware that the US Smartphones are all simlocked and need to be unlocked first.

Hi guys,
I am looking to buy a LNIB p930, with the plastic still on the screen.
What are your thoughts about this phone? I am going to be running 3g/HSPA+, So I'm hoping the battery life would be usable as compared to LTE.
Any other thoughts about this phone?
The seller is asking for $300, which would be a steal - the rival SGS2 LTE goes for $450 new in box
Please leave some comments, let me know what you think about this phone!!
Thanks
for 300 i would jump on it dude, I bought mine for 400 and im very happy with it.
Now that we have ICS, this phone rocks!
I would get it. I live mine and bought the nitro off a guy for 220$. Best phone I ha e had.
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA
Yes I would say $300 is a good price. It is quite an amazing phone on ICS, and yeah, not running LTE 24/7 does make a significant difference on battery life.
which one to choose?
I currently using LG P970, and now planning to upgrade to LG P930, just want to know what's the differences for this phone...
LG Nitro HD, LG Optimus LTE LU6200, LG Optimus LTE SU640
...and my choice is LU6200, can this phone flash to P930 firmware?
hope somebody can give more information about this phone, thank you.
~sorry for my bad english~

Hi all,
Today my LG Optimus G E975 finaly arrived. I live in Europe (NL) so I waited for this model to not get in trouble with frequency bands in a few months when LTE will become available here. According to the specs I wouldn't have a problem with LTE with at least half of the providers.
My provider probably will not implement it soon so I can switch to a good one at that time. Now I have slow UMTS 364kb/s but eey it is unlimited for 50ct a day. streaming over 10G a month. When I putted my simcard in it had no problem detecting anything it even changed the language of the phone to my own, i wouldn't have a problem with english but ok it is easy.
Qslide apps are in the notification bar. It comes with JB 4.1.2 straight from the box and had the right plug for me. Both English and European.
It even updated E97510a-OPEN-HK to E97510b-OPEN-HK, again something i didn't expect from a phone ordered internationally (updates are a B.eautiful I.ntelligent T.easing C.harismatic H.ermaphrodite here for outside phones) so I am very pleased.
So obviously what to do first with this phone? I don't need root yet as I am not intrested in trying new roms in the next couple of weeks but what about themes and tweaks? Any European users that know a place where they would sell the right bumper or otterbox and/or screen protectors that I don't need to ship from US or asia? I don't feel like waiting for weeks or pay for express delivery to double the price.

I'm reeally confused as well as tensed about compatibility of ROMs between E970, E973 and the E975......which I bought. I owned a ZTE Blade which ruled in moddability, lets see whats the future for Optimus G !
Bump. I just bought my E975 from Mobicity (Australia). I don't really understand whether roms for other models will be supported. I'm upgrading from my HTC Desire HD (she has served me well) and would love to get back to CM10.1 or AOKP as soon as possible.
The Australian rom is the best so far for stock JB. I've been using it for almost 2 weeks now.

Hello everyone!
I've done some reading on the forums (so I hope I haven't missed a similar topic)
and I have a few questions to ask. Being the proud UK owner of a G2, the best phone I've ever used hands down, I am definitely ready to move onto the G3 !
I am seriously thinking of buying the Korean version - 32 Gig, 3 G of RAM sound more futureproof than 16 Gig, 2 for the same price nevertheless. However, I have a few questions for anyone who either has knowledge or has owned a Korean product before.
1) LTE bands and frequence. According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_UK#Radio_frequency_summary Vodafone, my provider, uses both band 20 and 7 for LTE. Now there are three LG variants, the L, S and K. According to this: http://optimusforums.com/threads/ko...ide-lte-band-differences-pros-and-cons.13134/ , it's just the L that has one of the two LTE bands used by Vodafone (And seemingly by most UK providers). Am I reading this wrong, or is it that the other two models would not support LTE?
2) Warranty - I guess this goes out to those who have actually owned one In the (un)likely event something goes wrong, what's the process of dealing with it - shipping it back and forth to Korea? I assume LG doesn't support Korean products locally.
3) Modding/Roming. Once more based on : http://optimusforums.com/threads/ko...ide-lte-band-differences-pros-and-cons.13134/, most mods that come out come out for the international models. Is this a reality? I've never been following models/variants much, but is it quite possible that buying from a Korean market may result in me never getting access to the good mods out there?
Thanks for reading, for answering (and for possibly trolling me ), and hope my questions make some sense.
After much Dilemma myself, I was in the same position as you are now in, I couldn't find any info on which model to go for, the F400K or the F400S variant, I spoken to my carrier and they gave me the gsm frequencies (I am in ireland) and then spoken/live chat with the supplier of the LG G3 from Ebay and they also directed me in the right way. I received my Brand New LG G3 F400K yesterday from Korea, and it work brilliantly. From my knowledge here in Ireland we run on the same basebands as you in the UK.
Perhaps the supplier of the phone can also direct you in the right direction, I initially ordered the F400S, but after discussing it with the supplier it became apparent that the F400K was the one for me.
Hope that helps you. I have brilliant 3G coverage here (4G not over here in my location yet) so I cant guide you on this.
Thanks
There is a good youtube video guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj_KUqkH4oQ on Korea models too if your importing. Shows whats in the box and talks about the pros and cons.

I wouild definitely upgrade from the S3 to the LG G3, I have had the Samsung S2, S3, S4, HTC One (M7), LG G2 and now the LG G3 and by far its the best phone I have ever owned, admittidely I have only had it a few days, but you can completely see the difference between them, I used to love Samsung, but ever since I had the LG G2 I am now a True LG Fan, Samsung have gone in the way of putting too many gimmicks into their phones, and also releasing different cariants of their flagship, ie, S5, and now S5 prime...etc. Definitely worth the purchase for the LG G3. Well worth the money. Battery life is great, Camera is Awesome, its quick and responsive with the 3GB Ram. The Brightness/Contrast is by far the best I have seen on any phone, The Display is awesome, QHD at its best. I love my G3
Hello everyone,
My question is if there a way to update the US Cellular version of LG G3 to Lollipop
I don't see any compatible Roms on the forums.
Thank you
Anyone?
No body in north america got stock lollipop.
Only custom lollipops out there.
Or play waiting game. Lg said early 2015. But im sure something is coming. Its been to quiet lg canada wise
They dont even answer twitter questions about lollipop anymore.

Yeah I read that it's coming out the 23th "Today" in Australia. I really hope that US Cellular is next..
And by next, I mean next week or something lol I don't want to wait a whole month
But I guess I learned my lesson with US Cellular. there are not a lot of developers who are interested in creating custom roms for US Cellular devices.

Hey guys,
Last year in December I got the LG H815T as a present. 2 Weeks ago the phone started boot looping and I spoke to LG UK and they acknowledged (during a live chat) that the phone needed repairing and when I gave them my SNEI they told me my model is a "Hong Kong" variant and therefore won't take it to be fixed because they only support EU models. I am currently emailing the LG in Hong Kong to see if they can help but it is not looking promising.
Can anyone please advise on what I should do?
Get ****ed, just like every LG customer ever.
No joke, you're likely screwed, here in south america they don't even acknowledge the bootloop issue, your best bet is emailing LG in China but that probably wont do much. If anything sell it as a screen replacement and remember to never purchase a phone or any other garbage manufactured by LG again.
