hi,
i read that the LG Optimus G from Sprint doesnt have any SIM-Cardslot but i bought one from eBay in white original package without sprints logo. He said it would have a simslot. Is this possible? LG LS970 as non sprint version? The LG LS970 Eclipse?
thanks
2 things
First thing is none of the Sprint Optimus Gs have Sprint logos on the phone.
Second, this is a question. There is a place for questions and it isn't in the general thread.
And no, there is no Sim card slot.

He's saying the white box had the sprint logo.
And speaking of that, our box isn't white. The E975 and E973 boxes are white I think.

I just bought the LG Optimus G LS970 from Sprint, but I am not seeing anything for the Optimus G only this forum and it was stated that this forum is not for ATT or Sprint. Is there a forum here at XDA for the Sprint LS970?

I think you need to learn how to search throught forum.
Well let's see, I put in LG Optimus G in the "find you device" and this is the only thread that comes up and it states in just about every post "this is not for the ATT or Sprint phones". So, if you know something I do not know just point me in the right direction and if you do not have any helpful input, no need to post.Thanks chad!!

It is funny how most people here would be helpful and then there are people like you who make the people monitoring the threads have to jump in because people have to flame. Thanks chad!!

Try typing in your carrier first in the find your device menu. You should be able to enter Sprint lg optimus g or at&t lg optimus g into that field and have your device show up. Good luck, no need to be so angry next time.

Hey everyone.
My LG G2X is running Cyogenmod 7.2.
Just last week my phone apparently started to not be able to receive phone calls. I called T-mobile and told them about the issue, however they tried calling me and it went through without an issue.
I am lost for words, i've had people from AT&T and Verizon try to call me and no calls go through.
Any ideas?
Kind Regards,
Jordan
yes i have an idea
ask at the correct forum.

Hi people!
2 months ago I moved from Brazil to South Korea, so, when I arrived, I've decided to buy a F180L...I bought a new one, and when I tried to make a plan, the people from LG U+ told that the phone belongs to somewhere else, and I couldn't registered that phone...Back to the seller he told me that I could only use it outside Korea (I almost killed him ), but ok...I bought an Korean Galaxy Nexus (which works in any network), then, made a plan in KT Olleh...
So now, I've decided to root and unlock my phone, and so I did. But WHY I still can't use an Olleh simcard in that LG U+ Optimus G?
How can I check if it is really unlocked? I
tested my sim card from Brazil, and it can't do roaming very well here, but at least the phone recognizes the sim carrier, but it can't register on any network...
Do anyone know what can be happening?
thank y'a!

You need a network unlock, not a bootloader / root unlock. Look for sim unlock on google. Also check if the bands are the same.
Its not network lock but white list.
Optimus G isnt locked, and even locked phone can be unlocked for free through LG.com (In case of korean phone)
It wouldnt work if u just put Olleh sim card into your phone, you have to register it at office.
Also say thank for those guys, since you bought stolen / lost on purpose phone, according to rules and laws, your phone should be confiscated

Oh! Thank you, man!
Do you know if in another country I'll have the same problem...Cause I'll go back to my country in one year, so...I want to use that phone there...
Nah should work fine outside of korea.
Korean providers using the white list system, thats why you cant just put sim into other network phone and get it work, the IMEI registration is required.
Hello Everyone. I have purchased a LG G3 D851 (TMobile) unlocked from Dubai and intend to use it at India. I am worried about
1. Are the wireless and NFC chips different from the D855. D855 has 2 connectors while D851 has 4. Can I use D855 Back Panel on the D851 and vice versa.
2. Since it is unlocked, will the updates come from LG or should I wait for T-Mobile to send the updates.
As it is a quadband phone, there should not be any carrier issues.
And finally, why does LG G3 not include wireless charging off the box in USA like they do all over the world?
Your inputs will be much appreciated and will also help fellow xda folks as there is not much of talk about the differences between D851 and D855.
Cheers,
Karthik
Just found out that the D851 does not have any t-mobile markings on the mobile back cover or box. Infact even while switching on there is no t-mobile logo. But the model is LG D851. Is it even possible? Because D851 is the code for t-mobile. Please help clear these doubts.

I think that this is possible as D851 is also sold for Canadian carriers...

It came in a sealed box. The model number is mentioned as D851 while there is no mention of T-Mobile anywhere on the box or on the mobile.

LG G3 sold in Canada is D852. Please correct me if I am wrong.
If that is the case, LG has started selling generic D851s in America. I even found an user manual for Generic D851 along with the Tmo D851 on their website.
The European model D855 comes with a Qi Compatible back cover. The Indian model D855 comes with a Qi back cover, 1 Year Display Replacement voucher, and Discount voucher worth $160 on G Watch. I wonder why the American version is so basic.
Carriers abroad
I would assume, and I only do this out of assumption, that T-Mobile USA isn't the only one that uses the D851 and the bands that T-Mo uses here is the US is probably used by other carriers elsewhere in the world. If that is the case, then I would think that LG would have saved their money and gave the D851 to carriers abroad that used the same spectrum, minus logos and boot animations.

Thanks for the replies. On first set up of the mobile, I was shocked to find SperSU by Chainfire installed but its still not rooted. The mobile is brand new and has D85110C installed. I cannot find the Update Center (Settings -> About Phone). Please someone tell me what I have got myself into? Thanks.
Your "brand new phone" will not ship with SuperSU. If you don't have the playstore on ur phone, its another sign that phone is not new. LGs update center is also preinstalled.

LG PC Suite is working now. Playstore is there. Only thing weird was the SuperSU. Do people who unlock contract phones leave SuperSU on the mobile. And I found out that LG G3 Tmo and AT&T models do not have the Update Center visible. Wonder what is wrong with all these American carriers? Stupid, Absolutely Stupid.
Unlocked phone has nothing to do with SuperSU. SuperSU is strictly used for root. Again, T-Mobile, LG, or purchasing an unlocked phone will NOT have SuperSU.

The update center is most definitely visible in the settings menu for the US variants of the G3.

Can any AT&T and TMo users confirm whether they have the update software option on their mobile. I have seen a few users complain that it is not available in US Version. Please give your feedback. Thanks.

Oh that is great. Is it possible to download the update center as a stand alone app?
Did anyone stop to think that maybe when he signed into google he chose to restore his apps and it downloaded chainfire su from the playstore automagically? Since his phone wasn't rooted it seems logical to me.
Then again my IQ is only three times that of Stephen Hawkings so what would I know. </sarcasm>

Nope might. I have never used SuperSU Chainfire before. Anyways after a chat with LG US officials and after going through the files in the mobile I have found out the below:
1. Rooted Mobile
2. TWRP Installed
3. It has been flashed with LG-D851_Generic.zip (1.02GB)
4. It is indeed LG G3 D851 ( Without any affiliations to T-mobile )
If anyone would like the Generic version I would be happy to upload the file. So may be in some international markets, they are selling Generic Version D851. But it still puzzles me why my seller would root and install TWRP in a generic version.
If you open the back cover do you see D851 printed in white ink on any parts?

Yes it does have D851 written on various parts. Photo attached :
I guess it really is a D851 - T Mobile.
I have a Sprint ThinQ V8 that is no longer active after receiving a new phone from T-Mobile (a few months back). T-Mobile ported the phone number and deactivated the LG V8 remotely.
How can I get my LG SIM/carrier unlocked or should it already be unlocked?
Thanks

So, never did what you're describing. You had a G8 on t-mo network, you got a new phone from them, they ported the number to the new phone (why didn't you just take the sim out of the old one and put it in the new one?).
anyway, maybe when you say 'ported the number' yer basically saying on t-mo's website they now show the new phone instead of the old one. That's not really 'porting the number', that's just changing on their site which phone you have, and you put the old sim in the new phone?
Completely unsure what you mean 'deactivated the LG G8 remotely'? What? Is this a phone that you've completely paid for? If so, they have zero business doing anything with that phone other than carrier unlocking it.
you might want to explain a little more about what's going on.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the confusion, I'm a newbie at understanding how everything works. The LG V8 ThinQ phone was obtained from Sprint and was on Sprints network until T-Mobile called offering a new Nord N200. When I got the Nord N200, I called T-Mobile customer service and they transferred the number from the LG to the Nord by guiding me on codes to enter. The LG has been payed off for awhile. Is there a way I can check to see if the LG is now carrier unlocked? Thanks in advance.

Oh, that explains it. Yes a simple way to check if it's unlocked is put a sim in it. If it connects to that carrier, you can make calls etc, then it's been unlocked. If it's not, call Sprint, I think they are legally bound to unlock it if it's paid off.
