Which 32/3 G3's work well on EE in the UK?

I am a bit confused at which G3 is best for use in the UK.
I'm on EE and have seen that all the Korean models support the necessary networks, but I have been told that they don't work fantastically.
What are the facts?
Thanks in advance.

Handtec sell the european 3/32 version of the G3 for 509.99 maybe that's a safer bet?

Maybe, and thanks for the information as that seems like a good price, but I would really like a definitive answer before spending £500!

I have read some who have the Korean version have issues with it not seeing 4G or losing 4G after a reboot and the European 3/32 version supports all LTE bands within the UK so there won't be any issues with it working in the UK on EE or any other network.
Also you cannot cross flash ie a D855 firmware onto K400 or vice versa.

Thanks for the information both of you.
I think I'll go with the EU version to make sure.

Just for clarity, the D855 is the EU version, and the F400/K400 are the Korean versions?

Haha, sorry about that!
I've found a D855 for under £450, new. I just have to work out if the seller can be trusted.

You can buy it from Amazon.de for almost the same price, plus you have the amazon return policy which is pretty good.

Do amazon.de ship out to the UK though? Last time I checked they stopped shipping the phone to us here.

[Q] LG G4 Sim Free UK - Where best to buy?

I'm thinking of getting the LG G4 Sim Free and want to know where is best to buy in the UK? I want either the black leather preferably or black plastic (not interested in any other options). Amazon doesn't seem to have the black leather and for some reason the black plastic is much more expensive there than the gold. I have seen a website called Handtec that is advertising the black leather at a reasonable price, but I have no previous experience with them. Can anyone recommend them or anywhere else for that matter?
Thanks in advance!

Rumoured that O2 will offer the G4 for approx. £480 on PAYG upon release .

Handtec are a very reliable reseller of Sim Free phones. I have pre-ordered the Red Leather through them.

Hey
I found 2 places selling it unlocked in the UK for around GBP 500

Unlocked Mobiles http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim....html?osCsid=7e0fe5e2647bd589178fc0e3706774cf
I was keeping these as a last resort in case I couldn't find anything in my country.

Thanks, but I'd rather not have one from a network as they will probably put more bloatware on it (I'm not even with O2), plus updates usually come slower through he networks.

Thanks - they do seem to have good reviews. Just a bit worried as I emailed them to see how early they would have stock and they said either the end of May or early June - I need it asap as currently without a phone, so will have to check their stock status daily.

Thanks - Clove don't seem to have great reviews and aren't doing the black leather. Unlocked-mobiles are my alternative to Handtec but again they wouldn't commit to when they could send the phone out.
Guess I'll have to keep checking Handtec and Unlocked-mobiles and see which gets stock first!

Will the Korean version work in the UK with Three?
Looking at the 4g/lte bands I am hoping

You're probably better off starting a new thread to ask this as it has nothing to do with this topic.

Collected my G4 from an O2 shop this afternoon. Does not appear to be SIM locked according to the "SIM Unlock Process" app and I took a screen shot of the software version and the extent of the home screen branding if anyone was interested.

Unfortunately I don't currently have another activated suitably sized SIM to confirm with.

Got one from three retail store for £480 today, they have a big statement on their website saying they don't lock them any more, and people with older handsets can take them in for unlocking.

Anyone got the updated cheapest local price for the LG G4?
I saw some online for £277 via google shopping but from the UK reviews it seems that they're being shipped from overseas.

Where to buy an offical unlocked G4 in the US?

I can't find it on LG official page. Is there an official unlocked version of the G4 available in the US? Not through carriers to receive updates directly from LG not from carriers. Preferably, with brown leather back cover. Thanks in advance!

Not sure how "official" this is but B&H Photo will have it soon http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...815_32gb_brown_lea_g4_h815_32gb_unlocked.html

Short answer. No. Lg told me to try Amazon when I emailed them about this a couple weeks a go. And that there was no official unlocked us version. I was told to get the 815.

Confirmed sellers with H815 (Euro model) on eBay?

Does anyone know about confirmed sellers that are selling European model of LG G4 on eBay (shipped from USA)? I've contacted a few and it seems like almost everyone is selling the Asian version (H815T).

Never-MSRP told me the same thing so I think that they do have Euro version. The only issue is that they I'm in Houston as well so they charge tax so that's why I haven't bought from them.

Anybody ever make any progress on finding a good source for the EUR models?
Only those can be BL unlocked (ATM anyway) right?

Fast, cheap and painless.
There are tons of threads about this exact topic going back to release day, all point to this site.

I and many others purchased from - http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/tfawes26?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2754
Even the black leather one he sells (which is incorrectly listed as a H815T in the specification section) is in-fact the EU H815 model.
The seller is a little slow at posting and quite poor at replying to messages but he is completely legit.

Thanks, doesn't look like he actually has any available for sale at the moment though?
Man I wish LG wasn't such a B about the bootloader situation. Why can't all the 815's be open... Arrgggggg

I also bought one from this company and it was indeed fast cheap and painless, received the phone the very next day. It was an H815 unlocked and I have the unlock.bin, which I received from LGE with no problems, file saved for future use. The phone is now updated with the 10c kdz file and rooted by the method described in another thread in this forum, which was also easy to follow and painless.

I have an CZE H815 but today just freezes, I turned off and never turned on again, I never had falls the phone to the floor, just take care the phone like jewel and now never turns on again, the phone has in warranty yet but only in Czech Republic, don't know if someone want a cheap phone to use in warranty due LG doesn't offer international warranty.

Where can i buy this phone?? Cannot find it anywhere

Hi, I have read a lot about this phone and i really would like to buy it but it is nowhere to be found!! Why is that? Do you know of any online store that has it that ships internationally??
I live in Japan and BTW I want the european model (P2a42) because of the bands supported, not the chinese one. The Chinese model I did found it online
I really dont know what else to do, this is my last resource to get this phone probably
Thank you

Yes they sell mainly the P2c72, which is unfortunately with better hardware (64gb) than P2a42. It will work just fine in Europe, but in US the 4G frequency is different.

all ebay listings sell the chinese variant. I cannot believe there is no availability of the european model (p2a42) online.
I could easily buy the chinese variant and it will work for me for the time being here in Japan, but I wll not be living in Japan forever, when I return to my home country the phone will work only with gsm.... The european model has more compatibility with my home country bands

Check out SuperBuy.my
It is a Malaysian retailer that sells the P2A42 variant. They ship via DHL and many Australians on the Whirlpool forums have purchased there, including me.

Are you sure the 3g/4g frequencies of p2c72 are different than the frequencies in your country? There is a thread in this forum where I mentioned all the differences between p2a42 and p2c72.

I purchased it from this guy and it shipped to the US fine. Its the p2a42 version I would recommend him
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-P2-G...180128?hash=item2a79bee560:g:4moAAOSw5cNYhae-

Amazon Austria/Germany is selling it. i bought it on another website, for "only" 281€. games2game.at 4GB variant, 32GB Rom. But i don't know, if they will ship to japan. But i got a "french" model. Manual and the package itself is in french, but the phone have all languages. hope there's no problem with warranty, if i need it someday
