apparently from the reviews i have read the 13 mp camera is not much better than the 8mp.
i have the 8mp E973 and it works great.

so 13mpx is crap ?
The 13mp camera is not available for the Canadian market. Though you shouldn't worry because people have noticed no noticeable difference between the 8 and 13 my cameras. You can buy the unlocked E973 no contract for $550 brand new or just walk into any Bell store and buy a locked one for $0.

You probably looking for Japanese version of the phone http://www.kyoex.com/docomo-lg-l-01e-optimus-g-high-spec-quadcore-s4-phone/
Have the answer to your questions
Hi Guys, New to this forum.
I can answer your questions regarding the E973 and F180 as i have many in stock and have been selling them on youtub, ebay and soon to be amazon and a webstore.
I was using the F180L with 13Mp camera and I'm now using Canadian version E973 with 8Mp camera.. There isnt much difference, however the 13mp version is slightly better detailed and especially when zooming in.
If you want an F180 or E973/E970/E971 one drop me a message. Unlike most people I don't ripp people off. I make an honest profit.
Both great phone nonetheless.
Hullo
I'm looking at grabbing one of these. Seems like a great update to my HTC One M7, especially the camera.
I do, however, like replacing the firmware with something AOSP based, often CM.
I was wondering how serious the impact removing the LG firmware would have on the camera? The impact was noticeable with the HTC One so was curious if it would be the same with this.
Thanks
I've tried using other camera apps but always go back to the LG app. It really is nice.
Perhaps I've misunderstood replacing the firmware, but my understanding was that replacing the firmware also removed whatever camera specific drivers were installed as part of LG's firmware. As AOSP roms are not device specific, they don't have these same drivers to get the most out of the camera. So the camera quality would likely decrease, however this seems to differ between devices.
So I'm curious as to how much the camera is affected, if it's known at this stage.

Well... no matter what build you have, you still need those hardware specific drivers. That's why devs can't do anything until the sources for the device are released. Those sources are merged with the main AOSP code, compiled, and you get your rom.
What you might lose is carrier stuff...like T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling.
Luckily, LG has released both the kernel and system sources, so devs can start working. The only problem is that the only version that has an unlocked bootloader is the D851 T-Mobile version.
We'll just have to wait and see now. There aren't any custom roms out yet, just modified stock G3.
The laser focus only works on the LG Camera. So there's that.

So when I replaced Sense with CM on my HTC One M7 was I imaging the decline in photo quality? Genuinely curious if it's just my imagination or if it's a genuine thing.
ChummyDays said:
I had the same feeling on my HTC One X, but someone made a thread showing pictures taken with the aosp camera vs sense camera, and I was impressed (there might have been one on the m7 forums as well).
I think HTC did some trickery to the camera that made it seem better, but realistically, they probably take the same pictures, but you can see for yourself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943160

That's quite interesting actually. Thanks for the info.
Hi All, Is there any app to validate a fake/clone LG G3 ?
I will get a hands on before I buy it so whats the most fool proof way to check it's originality?
Thanks!
I would say the resolution and the dpi.
Also ask the seller if the unit has a custom rom, recovery, rooted, or whatnot. Test reboot, shutdown, calls, sms, 4g, etc

Hey! Thanks for your reply. I am assuming i should be able to tell the difference between a QHD vs the 720p's on the Clones.
But is there any app i can use ? or some more effective way to confirm ?
Thanks again!

@twisted_twice - The video is good but i need some key indicators to test the phone.
The laser focus and IR blaster are always fake.. what is the best way i can test them ?
if you are allowed install this apk :CPU-Z , by the way how much is the phone?

Cool, thanks for the APK.
It's being sold by an individual.. For 20000 Rupees(USD 340)
you could also run a benchmark... Antutu will give you details and the benchmark should be between 36000-40000.
Im telling you, they can clone everything except the screen. If you see jagged or blurry icons on the screen, there is a big chance that it is fake. Walk away.

Thanks, I'm assuming it should be easy to tell a 720 vs a QHD
screen. But i doubt they will be blurry or jagged. Right? Sometimes this can be tricky if you're not comparing a device side by side. But perhaps i can test side by side my Nexus 5. Text should be equally or sharper.

are there 16gb fakes?
some one offert me a exchange for my oneplus one
for a 16gb lg g3. i wanted a 32gb, but at the end a g3 is way better than a oneplus one.
just want to be sure it can't be a fake
im planning to swap my LG g2 32gb to a Lg g3 3gb also.
does the clone/fake LG g3 runs Lollipop or Kitkat only?
sorry for my bad english.
It is reasonably easy to replicate exterior of the phone, but to make fake camera and display that would be closely similar to the original is something else.
Also, replica would have to be equipped with appropriate CPU and RAM, sensors, storage, dual flash...
Regarding software, fake G3 would have to be equipped with a a fake ROM that is almost identical to official LG ROM... Also, fake LG would not be able to get OTA updates.. Fake G3 would also have to have a knock on / off feature which is not so easy to implement..
So, it is not realistic to have fake G3 that would be hard to recognize.. If someone produce it, it would be very easy to see that it is not an original, and i there any counterfeiters that are capable to produce fake premium smartphone with all the components, usability and performance of the original, than they can made their own brand
Christ just tell us what it says under the build number in system software
You cant fake system software versions. The fake ones always have some obscure build number that immediately shows up as fake if you type it into google
Its so simple and all of you make it so complicated
i just swapped my g2 to a g3 32gb.
i think the fake ones runs Kitkat 4.4.2 (not sure)
what i did is i look at first the display panel and compared it to my xiaomi redmi 1s with 720x1920 resolution.
and i perform also some antutu benchmarks and CPU-Z.
I've investigated a little bit about those clones, and after seeing review at Youtube I am quite impressed with the quality of build (both hardware and software wise) and and also with efforts those guys actually put into making fake G3 even in small details.
So, after watching G3 clone review, some conclusions:
1. If you buying G3 online:
- It is virtually impossible to tell the difference between real and fake G3 only by looking pictures on-line
- So, if it is advertised as a genuine G3, and the price is suspiciously low, this is cause for alarm. Maybe that's not a fraud but...
2. If you can test a phone before you buy it, you can quickly determine are there some reasons for suspicion:
- Look for a IR laser range finder at the back. It is there in both cases, but with clone G3 it is not working. With original G3, blinking red light is visible while back camera is activated.
- Take a screenshot of the screen(volume down+power), and then from the gallery look for the details of captured image. LG clone has HD resolution (720x1280), while original G3 has qHD (1440x2560). Resolution of captured image matches the resolution of the screen.
Apart from this, accessories (charger, headset, usb cables) are so badly made, that is is clearly visible that they are fake.

How can I check lg g3 is original or fake? Please help me
Im wondering if the camera from the Google Pixel could be installed in the G4. The physical camera, not the software, well the software too.....
I have seen that its possible to instal the kdz for the google camera w AI. I have seen the quality of photos the pixel can make, I have tried (ok Im trying) to install the G4 camera in my G3, but it requires some chassis mods).
I have read all I can about the cameras in the Pixel, and the G4. i think they are both made by sony.
they look the same (comparing pictures of products for sale on ebay)
could one just pop out the stock camera and install the other? Is there some kind of system check that is performed before boot?
why or why not?
cheers

It could work if connection are the same but it's not so easy. Anyway after changing the camera you'll need also a Rom supporting it with correct "Drivers" or you'll have only a bunch of errors XD
Someone reached to do camera swap in really similar phones.

Just arrived this Monster from US where is sold in excplusive from AT&T for the moment
New coloration choosed: Platinum Gray. A great dark gray color that gives a brilliant Metal effect
Here we have the most advanced LG product on the market ( more than G7 ) in a revisited V30 design without hated Notch.

i had 2 LGV30 H930 with me too and i have to say that this display is absolutely gorgeous and we have little characters by default here .
It seems we have more brightness OOTB on this Oled but maybe this is a software calibration.
No Banding problem at all until now.
Platinum Gray is the best color i had on all my LG Devices. Loving it
I just with they moved the headphone jack to the bottom if they're making a revised version.
Other than that, does it feel any different to a V30? Is there any reason to upgrage? Also, do you not live in the US? Isn't it carrier locked?

A lot of phones moved the HPJ to the bottom in the last years and I think it really makes sense imo. Especially on a phone like the V30 which is the ultimate audiophile phone.
I use mine all the time for listening to music and I wanna put the phone upside down in my pocket so when I take it out, my finger is already on the fingerprint reader and I can instantly use the phone. But if the HPJ is at the top, I can't to that because I don't want to stress the jack on the phones (it's one of the most common failure points on a headphone), so I have to put the phone bottom side down in my pocket. And then when I take it out I need to flip it in my hand or just take it out uncomfortably so it's already in the right orientation. But then I need to adjust my grip so I can get to the fingerprint reader.
It may seem like a really small thing, but sometimes on a long walk I can take the phone out tens of times and every time it's really uncomfortable. Also the other thing is more minor but if you plug some headphones with a thick and heavy cable, the weight distribution becomes top-heavy which also makes using the phone pretty annoying. Generally I don't see any advantage having the thing on top, but may be it's just me.

i live in ROME (Italy) and device has all every worldwide band that need in every country .
I've exported V35 from Kentucky where my friend lives and he had provided for me
You can pay in full on AT&T physical Store and they will provide you a permanent unlock code to unlocck network and all supported bands.
Generally i don't feel big changes in hand, it's the same product that V30 is. The "Core" changes are inside this Beast

This could be the best LG phone ever made. And incomprehensibly they won't launch worldwide
BTW: any chance to have a system dump?

Usually LG is famous to take wrong decisions worldwide
it's too bad LG value sinks like a rock. This is a fantastic phone, but after buying the V30 upon release for $800, I think from now on I'll just scoop them up lightly used on ebay 6 months later for half price.
I also see the updated the selfie cam. Which is great. But apparently the camera app has less features (since it's exactly the same as the G7), and the wide angle cam is 107 degrees on the V35 and 120 degrees on the V30. Another downgrade imo.

Can you dump the vendor partition by any chance?
We might be able to make use of it for the V30 and get a better Treble experience than the current vendor partition that we have from the Trebelized LineageOS rom for the V30.

Problem would be: different drivers for camera and so on, also for the chipset (except they split it up again, like the firmware in the v30, which for example adreno is split up in adreno 520, 530 (whereas the higher ones contain just patches for the lower ones, so you can take the lower named ones for a sd821 device)
idk about vibrator or so though, which would be nice though (damn special vibrator hardware in the v30 making everything complicated lol)
i just don't understood if USB Type-C here is 2.0 or 3.1

Also SD845 isn't "stock" big.LITTLE anymore - it's further evolved DynamIQ, whatever that means, also cache handling and structure is different (common cache between cores/cluster)
quite a different beast, actually:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/12114/qualcomm-announces-snapdragon-845-soc
https://www.neowin.net/news/qualcomms-snapdragon-845-benchmarks-show-massive-gains
In theory it has outstanding performance gains 20-45% (?) but in benchmarks it's more close to 15-20%, still pretty awesome for a generation upgrade
So with a custom toolchain, custom optimization flags, custom ROM, etc. you mostly will be able to get more of the full potential out of that phone
I like how it catches up to Apple's SoC in a BIG way

I doubt they would downgrade it on the V35 to 2.0 as the V30 has atleast 3.1 Gen 1 (former known as 3.0).
Just that LG only ships a 2.0 cable with the V30 (atleast my H930 only had a 2.0 cable...), used a 3.0 cable, and transfer rate skyrocketet
Edit: @wolfgart could you tell me the model number for the V35? (or get a kdz?)
I think i could use some of its implementations on the V30 (e.g. the vibrator, could fix that it becomes dull after a while, if it still uses the same motor for it that is)

Its basically a G7 inside a V30 case, with V30 display. Has the newer cams from the G7 too. Idk about other hardware components though (like i said, our special vibrator).
