Hi,
I'm in NZ, and I cant find any websites in NZ that sell the LG Optimus G yet.
However I found this website - http://www.kyoex.com/docomo-lg-l-01e-optimus-g-high-spec-quadcore-s4-phone/
This has the japanese version that aparently has a removable battery and a memory card slot.
Does anyone have one of these? Advice on this model please? I would LOVE to get this phone.
Thanks!

Spare battery can be purchased on japanese websites like rakuten. Is there any International shipping agency covering Japan in HK?? I used those services in Korea to buy LGL21 and spare batteries. Spare battery costed me 2400JPY per EA.
I had that version for a couple of days and couldnt love it, felt really cheap in my hands.

I have bought a LG Optimus G Pro F240. Sadly they didn't provide the original data cable and charger in the box. But considering the price at which I got the device its a big okay from me. I called LG India and visited LG service center. They only have those accessories for E988. They even don't know if the charger and data cable for E988 will perfectly work with F240.
I don't know what to do. Please help me out.

I think it should, because it's the same phone just another baseband.

Hi everybody. I'm going to buy a G3 for my sister. I am in USA atm but my sister is gonna use it in Turkey. So she needs an unlocked version of the phone. I was searching on aliexpress and found that seller. Both seller's and product's ratings are high. My question is that there are some versions of the phone, I wasn't sure if she can use the phone in Turkey if I buy the US version "D850" which is $250. Otherwise I'll buy the D855 EU version which is $313. So what do you think about it? I can't copy the link because I'm a new member. But I can email it though. Thanks everyone.
Don't buy g3. I switched my g2 with g3 and I wish I didn't. G3 is so lame. Don't buy it. Also I'm from Turkey and if you send phone from US to Turkey it must be passport registered and also must have sim unlocked. So listen my words and don't buy g3 and don't send another phone from US to Turkey. There is so much work to do and not worth it.

You failed to give one proper argument why not to but the G3.
OP, if it were me, I'd go for a D802 (G2 international). The G3 has QHD (not that good, too), removable battery (relatively irrelevant, but good because the battery life is rather horrid) and a micro SD slot (if you really really need it). All of which, IMO, not worth it.

Yeah sorry about that I was on the road. G3 sucks because of overheating, quick battery drain and it's really slow for that 2,5 processor. I switched from g2 to g3 for Android M update but M update will not solve those issues I guess.

You have to know what bands are using on turkey.
I'm from Argentina, we use band 4 and 17 to lte/4g networks so d850 from AT&T works perfect here.
Before this g3 i haved d855ar (an international version maded in Argentina with open bands) and I can tell you the d850 works much better than d855ar.
Another point is ram. I readed so much people saying "3gb and 2gb works equally well", now, with the 3gb ram version on my hands and 2gb version on my table I can say that's not true! The difference is appreciated. So, if you can and the bands match with turkey operators buy 3gb ram version.

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!

Hi, will a LG G4 Stylus mainboard fit inside a "normal" Lg G4 case? I have a working LG G4 Stylus mainboard and a friend has a LG G4 with damaged mainboard.
Thanks in advance
