i just bought the LG Optimus G f180k from ebay. It has android 4.0.4. Software version F180k 10k. seller claims it is an unlocked phone for international use, however when i insert my micro sim card it can only make emergency calls. how do i fix this? also, how do i get rid of the korean stuff, eg. my lockscreen has two clocks: one showing seoul's time and one showing my time, how do i get rid of the extra clock? I am completely new to android. im switching from iOS 6. Please understand if this is a stupid/"nooby" question.
Go into your data settings add see if your carriers APN in entered. I'm going to guess its not if only emergency calls are allowed. Or you may have been lied to and the phone is not unlocked.

APN settings not entered. Seller claims the phone is unlocked. The phone came with the olleh mark behind it and a bunch of olleh apps preinstalled. Olleh is a korean phone company. Does this mean the phone is locked to olleh? if so, what can i do to unlock?
try entering your apn settings manually

i finally got the phone to work i had to manually select my network under mobile networks instead of the automatic option. i have another problem however, i just updated to android 4.1.2 via LG mobile update tool and i have a korean keyboard. i tried changing the settings under language and input and it hasnt changed. what do i have to do to get rid of this keyboard? do i have to root phone then flash a custom 4.1.2 ROM?
Have you tried changing language settings to English and unchecking Korean if its checked?
I don't think the f180k has the correct LTE bands for outside Korea.
Where are you located?

Hi. Have you found a way to change your lockscreen yet? I have the same problem. Can't seem to find a way to change the lockscreen clock. It keeps showing local time and Seoul time no matter what I do. I tried everything under Lock Screen Settings including trying all the different Clock and Calendar options, deleted the entry for Seoul under the World Clock, fiddled around with my Network and Date and Time settings, and basically went through every other tab under Systems Settings. I have the exact same phone (Olleh LG F-180K) bought brand new and sealed from an online reseller and this is the only thing that's bothering me. Everything else is smooth as butter even without having updated to JB yet.

Ok... lets see if its help you:
First of all, BACK UP everything!!!
Root your phone, many ways to do.
try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181103
After that, go to playstore and install "root browser lite" app;
give it a root access;
go to system folder and at the end you'll see a file called "build.prop", make a copy of it.
in the original file, open it with "RB text editor";
find and change this lines:
Those lines bellow are examples, make changes thats suits you better.
ro.build.date=Fri Jan 28 00:43:20 CST 2013
ro.build.date.utc=1361983400
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
I believe it will stick with your language and local time, after reboot your phone.
in other hand, you can try follow this tutorial to install the latest E975 LG Rom from KDZ.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
Root and unlock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181979
Flash F180 modem http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/modem
be good.
you need just to flash baseband in it
It seems to me that I am missing the com.lge.hiddenmenu APK for the E973 LGOG since i cannot gain access to that menu ( doesnt exist on my app list)
so everytime I enter the dialer code 3845*973 a menu pops up but all it has is one line and it just says NULL on it.
Im hoping that reinstalling this application will remedy the problem.
please folks, if anyone can send me a titanium backup that would be AMAZING.
Have a great day folks!
It wasn't ever working for me on the e975 international port. So... I'm not sure it ever worked for us.
The funny thing is that it had worked for me before I root, unlockedn the bootloader and/or unlock the carrier itself.
Im not too sure which of the three processes caused the error.
I also used titanium to uninstall/reinstall the apk ( titanium found it) but same null error
did you flash to houstonn's international rom? or are you still on canadian stock?
Canadian stock
Sent from my LG-E973 using xda premium
I wonder if copying the ICS one would fix it.
One oroblem fixed and a new one arrises
I have downgraded back to kitkat 4.4.2 v10a from lollipop and i am very pleased so far on all levels but i have now found a new issue which is i am unable to edit my APN setting in anyway, yes i can add a new apn boxbut would rather be able to edit existing fields so can anyone shed some light as to why this might be happening
Also i woold very much like to delete McAfee from my device but my g3 is not rooted and i have downloaded titanium backup. Root explorer. And app master but these wont do it as stated not rooted
Any ideas how i can delete this app from my device please
Cheers

I've got an LG G3 D855, and I've been looking to disable the Dynamic LCD Refresh setting from the hidden menu. Unfortunately, I type in what I've been told is the dialer code to access the 'Hidden Menu' (3845#*855#), but... nothing happens. No menu appears.
I'm running Lollipop 5.1.1, using EuphoriaOS 1.1-d855, and the kernel that came with that ROM. Build number LMY48B, if that matters. It's an international model, as in not tied to any carrier.
Basically, how do I get the hidden menu to appear? Or, can I change the Dynamic LCD Refresh setting without accessing the hidden menu?
Any help is appreciated.
[SOLVED, I got a copy of the mixer_paths file]
I have an ATT LG G3 850(21Q) . The Android version is 5.0.1. The Kernel version is 3.4.0. The build number is LRX21Y.
I rooted it using the latest release from xda forum and was completely fine until I changed the mixer_paths.xml. I rebooted my phone and now I have no sound or microphone. I had made a copy of the file and replaced it. I rebooted and it there is still no sound. SMS/MMS messaging now also keeps popping up with an Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped . Anything I try to use with sound or video either has an error, forces closes, or both. I uninstalled everything and factory reset the phone and it still has a problem. I am thinking that the mixer_paths.xml got messed up or the build.prop was messed up. I only consciously changed the dpi setting which I also tried back at default with no luck. Any chance I could get a copy (file or paste) of one or both of these files? Pretty please with bacon on top?
Thanks in advance!
Are you still in need for the mixer path XML
