[Q] Optimus G version in Korea

Hi
First time posting, so please excuse if any mistake *peace* :fingers-crossed:
I have a friend going to Seoul, Korea next week, after reading many posts here, I wanna buy an LG Optimus G from there and bring back to my place. But I also hear from many that LG phones in Korea have many various versions, i.e some can only be used in Korea, even restricted to a certain telecom provider
Is that true? And how do we buy the international version of Optimus G from Korea which can be used world wide?
Cheers:angel:

Wrong section... F180S/L/K are the korean versions with antenna on the left upper part. E975 is international.

Tourists are forbidden to buy a phone in South Korea because you need the ARC number for purchase.
So your option is only second-hand or stolen one.

LG Phones in Korea are usually in L/S/K stand for LG U+, SKT, Olleh. For LG G it is F180L/F180S or F180K.
But dont worry about it, if you can ask your friend to buy one, after unlock bootloader, it became to E975 ( i mean there is no different ). So, you can up any rom of LG E975 for F180x.
Stolen phone can be lock by telecom provider, so, becarefull.

Even if you are using stock F180* ROM, and it is rooted, bootloader unlocked, installed custom recovery. You can flash any E975 Custom/Stock-Custom ROMs without hassle. Just keep in mind that if you bought or someone bought a phone for you from another country, it would be locked in you country(region locked?). And it should be unlocked, so you can use the SIM cards from your country. This is the way it works in my country.

FM Radio
Hello. Just wanna ask regarding the FM Radio how do I enable it? I have a korean version but the FM doesn't work.

F180X do not have FM radio, there are DVB-TV module

F180S - best choice, must be unlocked.
F180K - no SD, locked for KT, GSM
F180L - locked for LGE-U+, if I not wrong EVDO (CDMA).

[Q] UK LG G3 D855 on Straight Talk

I was wondering if its best to get the unlock UK LG G3 D855 or just wait for the ATT D850 version to use with my straight talk (I have a att sim)?
Also I live in Florida so will the Frequency of the UK Version work in the US? (example Like 4G, MMS, ETC)
Any drawbacks?

buying G3 in HK and bringing back to FR

Hi,
I'm on vacation in HK (cool city BTW), wondering if it is possible to buy a G3 there then bringing it back to France? All the functionality ll work? 4G, call, etc.
Thanks you for helping me guys

If the model number is D855 then yes, you may need to change the firmware in order to select the LTE band though. Not 100% sure if the HK model is different to the 855 so you'd need to check it all first to be surr

Hey welcome to hk. to answer your question the G3 sold locally at retail stores are the D855 varient. the bands are as follow.
LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600
HSDPA UMTS 900 2100
GSM 850 900 1800 1900
You can buy paralle imports since you won't be honored with warranty from LG in France with a hk model phone anyways. they're usually $1000-$1500 HKD cheaper than retail. hope you find what you need!
www.price.com.hk is a good place to start

I am not sure, you would have to check with LG on that part. On a side note, you should get the F460 Cat 6 version since you're in hk. they have them imported from s.korea for around 4700 hkd :laugh:

I don't think the Mi4 is out yet, but you can preorder. I think they'll be available late august, so if you're still in hk, then thats fine.
As for other phones, u can definitely check out the Oppo find 7 or oneplus one which many stores have in stock. i think those are great buys attheir respective prices. Another phone i would look into with ultra thin bezel is the Sharp AQUOS ZETA SH-04F.

[Q] Would the LG G3 LTE-A (LG G3 Prime) Work Internationally?

Hey all,
Just a question I've got out of pure curiousity, would the LG G3 LTE-A (LG Prime, LG G3 Prime) work in countries apart from Korea?
This one for example: http://tinyurl.com/po27mqs
I know it's the version made just for Korea to work with their LTE-A bands, but it does say it's unlocked, so could you use it internationally in a country like the US or Australia? As I said I'm just curious, but if someone bought one and wanted to use it like the D855 International version, could they use it like the D855 in other countries, but with the slightly upgraded hardware?
And as for the software-side, they wouldn't be able to just flash updated D855 KDZs, right? They'd have to wait for the software to be released for that specific model of phone (Seeing as LG is based in Korea it wouldn't be that long of a wait)

Hi,
I've got F460K from Korea and it works fine in Poland. I have not any problems with this phone, besides of this, that there isn't many custom roms for that specific model. A few days ago my LG got even upgreade to L :]
