I'm in the market to buy accessories for my i747.. I'm looking on ebay and see a dock / charger / battery combo at a decent price but it says it's for european and asian phones (i9300). would this fit my phone? to me everything should be the same..
Thanks
accessory wise the two variants are exactly the same dimensions and stuff, so anything made for the i9300 will fit the i747, including batteries. the phones are exactly the same on the outside, just the insides are diff. :good:
Yep. Chargers, batteries, docks and cases all fit the i747 that are made for i9300. They are the same form factor

Thanks guys!!!
Hello,
I unserstand both phones have the same external dimensions,but would it be the same for the battery cover ?
If I swap the pebble blue battery cover from a i9300 to a i747 would it fit ?
Thanks.
I would imagine yes as above he did say dimensions of phone is the same the only difference is the cpu and ram I believe.

Yes, I've been debating getting an international battery cover so it doesn't say at&t on this beautiful bad boy.

I have an att s3 and ordered an intl cover a few days ago.I should get it in next week,will keep this thread updated !
In any case I am a reseller and am about to make a huge order of genuine s3 covers for north american sale,so I just wanted to make sure that would work.
Thanks for the help !
The international version has a microphone on the back cover by the camera. So cases and skins for the international version will fit but you'll have a useless hole by the camera. Not really a big deal if you ask me.

I could be wrong but the skin I'm using on my at&t gs3 was made for the international version and it has a microphone hole on the back cover. I don't actually own the international version but I'll post a pic of my skin later

The att version also has a microphone hole next to the camera,unless you meant something else ?
Yep a tiny mic pinhole is the only physical difference between some of the two base versions or models.
CPU (quad vs. dual core), ram (1Gb vs. 2Gb) and radios (3g/4g vs. LTE) are the internal hardware differences between the international and north American models

I have an international version, there is no mic by the cam. I've had both variants they LOOK exactly the SAME. ALL the cases will fit.

ok heres my skin. there is a hole on the back cover (above the led flash), but there is no hole on my battery cover for a mic or something. there is a mic on the top border of my phone next to the headphone jack, which has its own hole
again it was made for the international version

Yep that was the only difference I saw on some back covers not even sure why that little extra hole by the flash even there. But all cases and covers work for both.
Hmm interesting ! Very good info.
I have a question
Hi,
My question is, are the lcd and digatizer screens the same size on both i9300 and i747 ?
I need to replace 1 and want to make sure:
question
I am wanting to get a cord for my GS3 i747 that hooks the phone to hdmi port on television. I saw several options on ebay but some of them say that they are "ONLY" compatible with i900 and i908. Is that the case? Should the cable work with i747 if it works with unlocked phones?
Will a i9300 ROM work on a i747?
I finally may have found a site that sells replacement back covers for the OGP. While the E980 back looks fine, its cross hatch design is much less appealing to me than the Nexus 4 style the other versions have. For anyone else interested, here's a link:
http://diggloving.com/black-battery-door-back-housing-cover-case-for-lg-optimus-g-pro.html
Unfortunately, the pictures only show the inside. So I can't be sure which pattern is present on the outside. Also, the F240 has an antennae while the E980 doesn't. I'm not sure if that changes the shape of the back. Can anyone confirm if this is so? Hopefully one back size fits all variants.

I just ordered the LG Branded one (carrier free) for the E986 from a eBay seller in Spain. It shipped for about 26 bucks.

I'll let you know but other than a ship notice from eBay I don't have it yet. It listed 2 to 4 weeks and if it's anything like other internationally sourced parts it will take at least 3 full weeks to arrive. I'm a little less than a week past the purchase point right now.

Got it! I ordered mine on Friday. Thanks...
I just got mine in the mail. Unfortunately, one of the little flaps that snaps it to the rest of the phone doesn't line up. Presumably this relates to the slightly different design of the F240. When I have some time, I'll try cutting it off and gluing it where it needs to be for the E980.

So you specifically bought an F240 door? I wonder if the ones on eBay marketed as E988 doors have the same problem. Any chance you could take that pic from the site linked above and circle the out of place tab in the picture and post it here? I'd like to compare it to the eBay door pictures.

I received the new E986 rear battery cover and mid-plate today to put on my AT&T E980. As far as I can tell everything looks like it should line up appropriately on both parts. I'm waiting for a new front glass and frame to show and I'm replacing all three simultaneously.
Be advised for consistency sake, the mid-plate is very clearly labeled E986 in etchings. If that bothers you don't order the part from the Spanish distributor. Also the battery door at the top is labeled "G Pro_1 >PC< SY2" where the original E980 door is labeled "SY3" I think. That may be as simple as the very different pattern on the door.
Let me know if there's any other questions. I have midterms the beginning of next week in my masters classes so I probably won't swap the parts till mid late next week. At that point I'll pretty much have a new phone.

It looks like E98X back covers are the way to go. See the attached image for how the F240 back doesn't line up. I started hacking it up with a box cutter. I've almost got it to fit right. I believe it also lacks wireless charging support. I remember reading that the F240 doesn't have it out of the box. I don't currently have a wireless charger to test it on though. Finally, there's "4G LTE" written in the middle. The one posted above doesn't have that, and looks better to me eyes.

It looks like there is not a wireless charging coil on that door for the Qi charging system. I'd return that one and order the door off of eBay out of Spain with the LG logo. It definitely has a Qi charging coil in it.

Just got the back cover I ordered from Ebay in Spain. Snaps on just like the AT&T one and looks to have the wireless charging as well but don't have any way to really test it.
By the way I'm loving the LG cover which has the same patterns as the Nexus 4. The ATT one looks more yellowish and bland in my opinion when compared side by side. Now onto taking the plastic off this new phone, SIM unlocking, Rooting and ATT debloating! Happy the exterior has nothing else ATT-like on board.
I also just got one from Spain. It's definitely the way to go. It fits perfectly and has that excellent Nexus 4 look.

Does anyone else have an E980 back cover they could sell? I bought the phone online, and it only came with the OEM LG folio case. Back cover doesn't have to be perfect condition either as i would cover it with a case.

Hi.
Did you received my answers?
My SENT PM folder is empty and I have not received any answer from you!
So I am not sure if you received them.
Please try to PM me directly to my email [email protected]
shipment recieved
Bought the one being sold in ebay from Spain (for E986) l. I recieved it here in Philippines exactly 3 weeks from date of purchase. I own an AT&T E980. I confirm that it snaps on perfectly. Also has NFC & Wireless charging (though I can't test coz I dont have a Q charger).
Hey guys
Got my LG G Pad 8.3 GPE a few weeks ago and really starting to love it. However, I'm having a hard time finding a case (available in the US) that I like. I was wondering if you guys could make some suggestions. The ones I've seen on the forum so far haven't really fit the bill or are not available in the US. I have a toddler running around. She doesn't use it but she has grabby hands, something I'm sure many of you are familiar with. I'm not looking for an otterbox but I would like it to cover the screen and provide a little impact protect from short drops (mostly on carpet). Thanks
I just received this one the other day and am loving it. http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Cover-Edition-Tablet-Function/dp/B00GSK46D8
The magnet is solid, stand function works well and is stable, the tablet fire beautifully and the cutouts are perfectly placed... Even around the speakers.
Oh yes and the sleep function works well (smart cover)
My two cents.

I am using the same one on my v510 (GPE) and I am very happy with it, also ordered from Amazon.com
Like a logical consumer, I assumed that "G Pad 8.3" was all I needed to search for when buying accessories.
The LG G Pad 8.3 VK810 (verizon LTE) is slightly different than the Wifi only model:
1) Camera position moved , result = will not work correctly with the majority of screen protectors currently sold
2) Headphone and IR port position moved, result = will not work with the majority of cases currently sold
3) there is talk on this forum (unconfirmed) that the thickness of the Verizon version is different by a few mm.
I bought the Voia G Pad Jelly today - and while the unit fits in, the headphone jack is partially blocked, mic is nearly blocked, and IR port is nearly blocked.

The Moko G Pad 8.3 case, available on Amazon does work well and fit perfectly on mine. On my GF's, I had to cut the bottom microphone opening a bit larger to allow the mic to be exposed. This wasn't a big deal and I just used a black Sharpie marker to darken the cut area. Thankfully, the Verizon logo is mostly covered up as I cannot stand Verizon and their unnecessarily large logo branding on devices. The Front facing camera, MicroUSB port and power/volume buttons are fully accessible.
The Xtreme Guard Front/Screen protector fits well and does not cover the Front Facing Camera or Ambient light sensor. The Full Body (rear protector needs about a 1/8th of an inch trimmed on the top center section to allow for the SIM/MicroSD slot to be accessible. This is easily accomplished with sharp scissors. The Rear camera and speaker openings line up perfectly. I hope they make a change to the full body protector in the future to make this modification unnecessary.
What LG engineer saw fit to make such unnecessary alterations? Madness . Thanks for the info.

I have the v500 and the "LG" made Verizon case. Indeed the IR and headphones are off. Thickness isn't an issue it's in there solid. Depending on headphone jack I don't see it being an issue. Case is sharp and light weight.
EDIT: forum flipped pics upside, you get the idea though.
Where is the cheapest place to buy cases? Amazon is the only place i know
All speakers cameras microphone light sensor work. Sd sim covered wont open. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EVNHQEK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Was looking at the pictures and it seems the connectors look the same on the LG G4 and LG G3. Thinking of trying a LG G3 QI charger sticker on the G4.

Read in the G3 forum people seem fairly happy with the sticker solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/accessories/nfc-wireless-charging-sticker-t2818424
Is there something I am missing here or some issue with these stickers I am not aware of?

Think you have to look better. Because on the G3 i see 4 pins and on the G4 there are two.

I think the pins for NFC and wireless charging are located on the right side of the back of the phone. If that's the case, there are indeed 4 pins on the G4.

But not on the same place as the G3.... so a one on one fit is not going to happen.

Just see the picture of back samsung s5 is so similar to G4, both are 2 pin, is there anyone try to use S5’s sticker on G4? Thanks
The seller in the OP says they're doing a pre-sale for G4 stickers so I'd say stay tuned. They claim they'll have them in a couple weeks.
I just received the wireless sticker from China, and installed it in the back of the phone. I tried the phone on two different Qi pucks, both of which work on my Moto G, and could not get any signs of life from either puck.
Has anybody had any luck with these stickers, and please don't refer me to the video of the guy installing one on a phone. I've reviewed that video two or three times, and I have no idea what I've done wrong. I think I've got the gold contacts all lined up appropriately, although I can't see for sure when the cover goes back on the phone.
I would welcome anybody's comment on how successful they were--if they managed to get the thing charging--and whatever tips they might be able to pass along.
