F240 is korean version, E988 is the international version. I suggest you research what LTE bands the phone companies over there use first. .
According to GSM arena these are the bands that work on the E988:
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - all versions(2g)
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - E988 (3G)
LTE 1800 / 2600 - E988

Does the E988 variant also has an extra battery and a charging dock? I don't think they gave it in the international version.. Isn't it?

I have the e988. I got the charging dock with the plug adapter for US but no extra battery. You can get one on amazon for under $15.

^ Weird.. Haven't heard of people getting dock and extra battery woth the E988 variant :s

Correction to my earlier reply. I meant I received the regular wall charger and not the charging dock.

I would be careful as I have an E988 but there is no 4G. On the box it only has 2G and 3G. I think it matters which country the E988 is from as there are different versions (they also have different amounts of storage). Mine is from taiwan by the way.

[Q] LG E975 crossflash to E971/3

hi i couldn't find anything definitive so might as well ask.
i have an E975 bought here in the philippines, would it be possible to flash with an E971/3 rom? would i be able to use the 700mhz LTE frequency on my phone after the flash?
thanks.
I have the same question.... i see there's a roadmap sort of thread in the e971 forum regarding EVERYTHING! I hope that an experienced E975 user should make such a thread too! I would have but I just bought this phone.....
Only if the E975 is capable of 700mhz LTE to begin with!
LG Optimus G E971/3/5/6/7
Yes but you will lose the ability to use your back camera. Why not flash a CM10.1 nightly? E975 has em haha
i don't think the E975 supports 700 for 4G/LTE according to gsmarena.com they write this:
4G Network
LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - E975 (market dependent)
LTE 700 / 1700 - E973
LTE 700 / 2600 - E971
ino they say dependent on market but still i guess if 700 was supported they would have put it on the list, but ino it's only indicative not 110% true or i could be wrong.

Which LGOG can be used in Europe

Guys, I'm sorry if my questions are stupid but I'm not much into that. I want to know which versions of the Optimus G can be used in Europe.I want to use both gsm and hsdpa. My carrier offers 900/2100mhz 3g connection. Do you know which version can do the job after unlock? I know that the e975 is the version for europe but its 2 times more exspensive than the others e971/973 etc.
I live in Serbia, and I have E975. Don't know about others versions, but I got this one here brand new for 285 euros...

Hi,
as stated on GSMArena website:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - E975, E973, E971
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100 - E975
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - E973, E971
4G Network LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - E975 (market dependent)
LTE 700 / 1700 - E973
LTE 700 / 2600 - E971
I hope this helps.
My e973 worked fine in Poland on T-Mobile. Had fast internet too.
E975 is ok for Europe. don't buy F180,E970,LS970,E971 or 973. Better ask your carrier about it.
Kimitza sayed all!
E975 is the international version

The international version costs much more than the others. I have relatives in US and they can buy it for me for around 250$. E975 costs 250€. Thats why I want to know if the other versions will work.

[Q] Will unlocked LG optimus G E970 work in India ?

I want to buy LG optimus G E970 from USA ebay site (my friend can get it to India)
--> cgi(dot)ebay(dot)com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350976364795#shpCntId
Will unlocked LG optimus G E970 work in India, on GSM career ? Is it dual sim, dual standby ?
Please suggest as I need to decide in 1-2 days. Also does anyone have any ebay.com coupons ?
That phone is not dual sim, it is single sim only. It works with the gsm bands 850, 900, 1800 and 1900. For hsdpa it works with 850,1900 and 2100. If any carrier in your country works with those bands then you can use it. I use it in honduras with the850 band for both gsm and hsdpa, phone is working fine.

Thanks for the reply .. I see that bandwidths supported in India are GSM - 900/1800 and HSPA - 2100, which is supported by this cell. I am ok with one sim. What does unlocked mean here ? Also can you please tell if anyone has an ebay.com or some other site coupon (USA) ?
Thanks for your help.

Unlocked means sim unlocked to use with any carrier(which is what you should get), if the phone is sim locked you would have to pay to have it unlocked(the unlock code costs about $5 on ebay. Can't help you with the coupon thing since im not in the US.
Edit: There are some good deals on ebay right now for this phone, yuo can get a used but in god condition fro $150-$190, and new one go from $200 up (plus shipping) which is an awesome deal. This phone gives great bang for buck.

[Q] Can someonehelp me find the version of this phone, and will it work in Canada?

Hi everyone;
First off, if this is in the wrong area, I'm sorry.
I've been looking to get my girlfriend a new phone for her birthday. She has an old Optimus 3D and the screen is cracked. I've been looking online to buy a Optimus G for her and came across a bunch online.
Most of which are listed as F180. I'm not sure what version this ends up being.
I'm hoping to get this phone for her and have it at least work on HSPA+ in Canada on the Rogers Network, but it would be great if it would work on LTE too.
I'm a little confused as to what frequencies Rogers LTE is on. I've read online that it's anything from 700, 850, 1900 , 1700, 2100 and 2600.
According to GSMArena the model frequencies are as follows:
2G Network
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - E975, E973, E971
3G Network
HSDPA 900 / 2100 - E975
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - E973, E971
4G Network
LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - E975 (market dependent)
LTE 700 / 1700 - E973
LTE 700 / 2600 - E971

According to the Optimus G Wiki page Canada has the E971 and E973 models. If the International Version is E973, this should work on Rogers HPSA+ at least, and at least one frequency for LTE.
Is this correct?
Unfortunately I can't post any links right now because I haven't made enough posts, so I can't link to where I plan on buying the phone from.
Any help or suggestions would be great!
