So today my e975 arrived. What to do first?

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.

root, freegee, cm10.1 port, show off

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.

LG Optimus Pro ATT E988

Hi all,
I bought a Lg G Pro on ebay last week ; model E988. Seller claimed it to be ATT phone, but according to what I've read so far on this forum, ATT version should be E980. Am I correct ?

The E980 is ATT. But the E988 is still GSM. If you dont want to go through the hassle of sending it back just get it unlocked. Or better yet try it when you get it, it may very well be unlocked.

Korean G3 advise

Hello Guys,
I went back to my Nexus 5 from an AT&T LG G3. I didn't know about about the PMA (I have QI chargers everywhere), and I wasn't sure about the Snapdragon 801 when there's a version with the 805.
So, I'm thinking about getting the latest korean version with 32GB, 3GB, 805 and QI-compatible hardware, but I'm confused with the models. What is the latest, and which one works with AT&T's LTE network? Tried searching, but everybody talks about a different model.
Also, what's the best place to order it? Do you guys recommend it? Or should I wait to see the Nexus 5/6 2014?
(G3 sub forum.. I believe you like it, but I expect honest opinions)
Thank you guys in advance!

I have the F460S (G3 with the SD805) and it works on Att. I believe that all of the Korean ones have the same bands if I recall correctly. I like my Korean one more than my Att D850. It doesn't work as hard or get as hot as the Att one which is good. There are some OPs discussing the F460 if you look in this forum. You have to get the quick circle case for the cat 6 model to get the qi (just remove the sticker and put it in your back cover). I'm glad that I got the F460 its a great phone.

Awesome! So F460S works on AT&T. F460 is the F460S or they're different models?
Also, does it come with much bloat? Where did you get?
Thanks

What about this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G3-Cat6-...60764?pt=Cell_Phones&var=&hash=item33948add9c
It's the cheapest listing on eBay.. The seller says that LTE may not work in the US, but for AT&T it should, right?
Thanks

All Korean models have the same bands from what I remember. The S is SKT (South Korea Telecom) and it has a ton of bloat. Thankfully it's simple to remove 99% of it, only 1 or two things need root to remove. I like the S model because of the logo on the back and that's the only reason that I can think of... The F460 S/K/L should all work on ATT so I wouldn't worry. It was the same way with the F400 S/K/L. I also had a F400S and it was fine on Att.
The only real differences between all of the models are:
Logo on back cover
Pre-installed bloat
Unless I'm forgetting something that should be it. I would double check that of you like. Here is the link discussing the F400 S/K/L variants and bands(460 should be the same)

I'd you have any other questions that you need answered, I will be happy to help the best that I can.

It will definitely work on Att, as for the model I like the S but some people buy the K/L models because they tend to be cheaper.

[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 :]

LG G4 motherboard swap

Hi guys,
Wanted to ask if it is possible to swap the model of the motherboard on LG G4.
I have a broken H815 (bootloop) but the housing and display are OK.
I want to get a mother board from Korean Model F500L S K. Are they the same dimensions and does korean mainboard fit on my housing and connect to camera display etc?
And are the korean models affected by the boot loop since I'm no seeing any of them on the internet.

Yes, the motherboards have the same dimensions. It will work

Korean version probably not as popular
Get h815 again

Korean version has similar mobo as the H815, but as mentioned above, its not that that's why you dont see them bootlooped. Only advantage of the F500 is the new 7.0 FW.

Bootloop is a known problem of the LG G4.
The cause is a loose contact on the PCB.
LG offers a free repair.
Owners of a LG G4 affected by the bootloop are requested by the company to contact their mobile operator to initiate the repair process.
Customers who have purchased the G4 in free trade are kindly requested to contact LG support directly.
The repair takes place within the framework of the guarantee conditions and is therefore not associated with costs for the owner.
In addition, the company apologizes for the inconvenience that the previous solutions have brought to customers.
Previous misdiagnosis resulted in the replacement of wrong parts of the smartphone.

Nah, I'm not interested on the os version.
I just was wondering if F500's have less bootloop issues.

Well Thank YOU very much for the answer, I'm very aware why the bootloop problem was occurring and know the whole history of the problem.
But I live in Kosovo and we don't have an official lg retail store.
I contacted LG Serbia and explained them my situation. But they were willing to help just the cases when phones where bought in Serbia, so nothing for me :crying:
Since you provided some information about "free trade" phones. Is there still a chance for me to get a fix for my phone. Since when it bootlooped it was only 8 months old. So well under the "1 year warranty policy".
Thank You Very much again.

The F500 which is the Korean version I think has LTE bands/frequencies missing or disabled which makes it a no go for use in western europe at least. It might be okay on some networks depending on what frequencies your network provider uses but in general I'm sure the F500 is the most limited version when it comes to working frequencies so it would be much better to get H815 or H811. The F500 mobo is exactly the same shape as other models btw.

Your welcome. My first G4 was a F500 and I found that 2g didn't work in bad signal areas so I couldn't even make a phone call. Also 4G+ didn't work either. It was possible to put H815 firmware on it but that did NOT enable the missing frequencies so I had to buy a new one.

Yeah a phone with no 2G and 4G is probably useless.
But now I wonder if H811 European models, suffer less from bootloop, because if I decide to buy a new mother board the last thing I want to happen is my phone dying again.
I talked to a mobile phone shop owner here and he told me that they just returned many G4 since they still bootlooping (after only 1 month of use). And they won't sell them anymore.

I bought a refurbished G4 for 170 euro. It has a s/n of 701, in other works very recently manufactured....I have it working fine for 5 months now with no issues at all. So I would only buy one with serial 609 upwards. It's not know for certain which one is okay but the more recent the better. It does not matter at all whether is F500/H815/H811/etc where bootloop issue is concerned.

Thank you so much for the advice.
Yesterday I found a G4 H811 in a mobile shop here. But it was S/N 401 so a big NO NO for that
I will be thinking of buying a brand new mother board from china and replace it myself and it is half the price of a new phone.

I asked the China supplier what was the serial number and he woulnt tell me. Thls means that althought the board is new and unused it may still be an old one with bootloop issue down the line.
The best thing to do is make sure s/n is 701 up. You can ask eBay seller what is s/n by email before buying if buying used one. They will be happy to tell you. That what I did and enjoying fone since!
