Why am i seeing different models from T-Mobile i have the H811 what is the difference from mine and they H815. My wife seems to think the leather backed version would be the reason but wanted to ask.

The 815 is the international unlocked version (One is Europe, the other is Asia but same model number). Doesn't have anything to do with leather or not.

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.
Is there a model # key for the different countries? For instance, the G3 D855 was for Aus.
Nothing will come here until June at the earliest but my current phone has died so considering sourcing one from overseas.

This is also being covered in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60563548&postcount=12
Maybe these two threads should be combined.
I know there are multiple H815 models, The EU version being the only unlockable one right now.
My questions are;
1) what are all the H815 model numbers, and if the models numbers are not different for different locals, how to tell them apart?
2)What accessories come default in each local package? (I know some come with 2 back plates, some with headphones, some with mail in offers)
I would like to purchase a H815 EU model, but as of now I have no real way to tell if what I will be purchasing will be what I actually want until I try to unlock it.
*EDIT* I know this could be in Q&A but when this is answered, I would like to be able to edit this into an informative post to help others.
My h815 is from Taiwan. I know this because that's where it shipped from. Plus on the box it says h815 TW. But no where n the phone does it say TW. So the only way to know as far as I know is the box. Mine came with one set of headphones, one back, and us/TW charger for what it's worth
IMEI test to show suffix

One way to tell apart differences between phones within the LGH815 model category seems to be to identify the suffix of the individual phone.
See post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61159318&postcount=68 for test of IMEI of phone that reveals the suffix particular to that phone.

Can anyone double check and see if there's any issues with this listing? I'm in Canada, if that matters.
Just making sure it's the international version with global Rom, if either of those matter or if they can be fixed or changed by me.
Or any concerns? Just need a second opinion.

Just checked it out. It states it has global firmware. Oos 10.0.3 but doesnt state anywhere in the description the model of the phone. Judging from where it ships from Hong Kong i think its a chinese variant HD1900 with global firmware. Shouldnt be a hustle as this is the same setup i use in Africa unless you are looking for specific network bands
It's the Chinese version. The International version only has 128GB storage.
I would look elsewhere.
I'm not sure what's been sold where, but here's a complete list of 7T variants:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnePlus_7T#Variants
A phone sold as the "international version" is almost always an HD1900--that is, the Chinese version. The HD1900 has both Chinese and international ROM's available, and I think which one it comes with is a matter of where you buy it--but even if you buy the Chinese version, you can download and flash an international version of the ROM through the settings menu.
Ideally, in Canada, you want the HD1905, but it's no longer sold anywhere, and you're going to have a hard time finding it--I had to buy a used one. That being said, both the HD1900 and the HD1903 (the European variant) will work in North America. The lack of certain bands, especially on the 1900, may affect your coverage in specific situations, but I personally used an "international" version of the 3T in the U.S. (that was before they had a U.S. version) with no problems.
Note that the HD1907, while probably also suitable for your purposes, comes network-locked, and you'll have no way to unlock it unless you first activate it on T-mobile or a T-mobile MVNO--so avoid that one.
I know the S22 variant made for the US market does not have an unlockable bootloader. But is it possible to buy a rootable S22 that will work with a Verizon SIM? Order it from overseas maybe?
yeah you can get a Korean 908N version on eBay with a very reasonable price. I got mine several days ago.

Awesome, thanks. I wasn't sure which country to look for. I prefer a pocket-sized phone and it looks like SM-SS901N is the small one and it's readily available.
I'm still running SABS on my old S9 (installed before Samsung killed it) and I was afraid I'd have to switch to a Pixel to get root, but the smallest Pixel 6 is bigger than I want. The small S22 from South Korea seems like a perfect choice.

No problem at all. I always got the Korean Variant instead of US one. Works for me all the time. I just didn't understand why they didn't provide an option of unlockinh BL on US variant. I feel like it's not even necessary.
are you looking for exynos or snapdragon? there is a large performance and compatability difference. Hong Kong and Singapore are where I got my last two phones from, bootloader unlockable snapdragons.
I'd have to say Snapdragon, which is also the South Korea variant (I'm guessing this is why it's popular for US buyers). Would there be any reason to consider an Exynos for use in the US? According to the reviews I've read, performance & battery life on the Exynos vary between meh and unusably awful.

Hello, may I ask what carrier you're using this with in the US? On Ebay, it says that it doesn't work with Verizon (due to CDMA).
I'm aware that Verizon does a little bit more than CDMA these days, but their base is still CDMA from what I understand. Thanks in advance.
