[Q] Advice on which LG G3 to buy

Hi Guys,
I am about to buy my first LG Phone. I have been using Sony phones from the Xperia Z to Z3 so its high time to change. However I have 2 models from which I need to select
1. LG G3 D855
2. LG G3 D858 (Dual Sim)
I kinda prefer the dual sim because it relatively newly released but my only concern is whether it will get the android 5.0 Lollipop update.
Appreciate if you could help me out in deciding which model I should go for
Thanks in advance

i would suggest the f460 , the upgraded version that's using the new 805 cpu with 3gb of ram , much better and very fast , if u insist to choose among those mentioned above then u shouldn't worry about the lollipop update , soon or later it will be there for sure .
good luck

I would advice the D855 32GB for the EU especialy for the compatible LTE bands. I have it myself and its a great device. The D855 also has the most support in development if you want/plannned to do that

Yeah indeed the d855 is the most supported for custom roms.. But i think the stock lollipop is solid enough.. Anyway if you're concerned with the f460 you should ask if someone got it there in the EU to make sure which bands it support .

Yes I do, I installed a lot of custom roms when I had the Sony device but since I am new to LG, I had a read in the firmware section but it was confusing. I want to experience android L actually I will let you know about the device once I get it
Thanks a bunch for the valuable information

Zenfone 3 Deluxe stock firmware

I thought I would post this link for the stock firmware now so that some developers could maybe check them out to get a head start while we wait for Root access [emoji12] Just select android for os and then you will find the firmware link.

Sweet, but anyone know the difference between the 8996 and 8996 pro CPU roms?
Can either rom be used or do you need a specific device?

Glad I asked as I REALLY don't wanna kill my SD821...

They should have made the 821 available for both variants

I agree but I think they probably pushed out what they had at the time...
It was a large amount of waiting for this device, around 6 months from showcase to release....
The person I bought my phone off said it was because ASUS had some supply problems back in August/September., though that could've just been to fob me off too....
Though saying that I really had to pick and choose. Over here in Oz the Zenfone 2 was ever really released, not in stores or through the telco's so this awesome phone won't even get a 2 second blurb in any of the media again... So much for local warranty.....

Is there any HW difference between Mi Max/Max Prime Chinese and Global?

Hi everyone,
I know the Xiaomi Mi Max is officially sold in China and India.
Apparently the version from China is compatible with several LTE Bands worldwide.
My doubt is: As of now, is there any hardware difference for this device sold in China / India / (wherever else it may being sold officially)?
Also, is there any differenze in size between Mi Max (32/64GB rom, 3GB ram) and Mi Max Prime (128GB, 4GB ram)?
I am trying to understand this in order to order an appropriate cover
Thanks in advance

there is no difference with respect to hardware btw the chinese & indian manufactured mi max.they have the same hardware save for a few minor differences in make of camera,touch panel,screens,camera sensors etc.although they are frm diff manufacturers, they are specced the same.the diff comes in form of preloaded os.again though both are the same,chinese ones will be preloaded with chinese stable firmware and indian units(which i personally own) have global stable firmware.the major diff in terms of software would be chinese localized app and absense of google apps in chinese stable,while in global stable comes with google apps preloaded.that where the differences end.the overall physical dimensions remain the same.you can cross install firmware if u wish
now coming to the diff btw the 3/32 vs 4/128 there is slight diff in soc.the 3/32 called "hydrogen" has hexacore(2x1.8ghz a72+4x1.4ghz a53) snapdragon 650 while the 4/128 called "helium" has octacore(4x1.8ghz a72+4x1.4ghz a53) snapdragon 652soc.the gpu is the same in both versions.again there will be no diff in the physical dimensions btw the 2 models

Thanks for your answer.
Is it correct to say I can install the Global rom on a device coming from China, and get the very same result (besides minor hw differences) as buying it in India (for example)?
Also, since I understand you have the global edition , could you say if it supports full disk encryption on MIUI 8 (from settings > privacy or something like that), in a way that without unlock code the phone doesn't start at all?
(as reference, there is also this - unanswered - question about this topic :http://c.mi.com/in/thread-4401-1-1.html)
Thank you

yes, you can. but you must look for the right on coz always 2 global roms comes.
One for the Mi max with 16 and 32 gb (hydrogen) or the rom for the 32 and 128 gb mi max (helium).
greets
Peter
PS: Best rom ever, no more need RR
LED-Control, auto Callrecord, dt2wake, fast, super battery, so stable!

for the 1part of the question answer is yes
for the 2nd part of the question,as far as i know,since the data partition is encrypted, after the device boots up,u'll be presented with the password (login) screen,and unless u enter the the password u wont see the homescreen,and no one will be able to access ur data.the only way to use the device is to format the data partition with custom recovery and install new new rom at which point all ur data would be permanent ly erased.

Dual 4g in Redmi 6 pro..?

Noticed on the official website that Redmi 6 pro does not support dual 4g, whereas it's lower siblings 6 and 6A support.
is there any way to enable this? any custom ROMs
Is this a hardware limitation, if not can we expect a OTA update from Mi to enable dual 4g.
any thoughts?

Actually......no?It's really difficult to change hardware. Hope I helped
Hit thanks

The other two are on mtk processor and 6 pro is on sanpdragon. I don't think SD 625 supports dual 4g

(Q-HELP) - Advice needed regarding root & specs for a new LG phone purchase

Hi everyone ,
Looking for a new (2018-19) LG model, either global or EU version, that's currently getting development for custom roms and root with following specs:
1. Dual sim 2. Quad Dac 3. Fm radio 4. C-type usb 5. MIL-STD-810G compliant - IP68 and 6. If possible, also wireless charging.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this quest. Kinda troublesome with all these new models LG has brought out in the market .

The V50 's kinda exceeding my budget. I was thinking of somewhere around 300-350$ or less ofc.
Btw ,if my understanding from my readings here is correct, is that the G7 ThinQ is actually supporting the above mentioned requirements, right?

As I said , the v50 is above my budget, plus it's screen size is a bit too big for my taste and it doesn't have FM radio.So, to repeat my question, does the G7 ThinQ current custom rom development support all specs of the device? For e.x. is the dual SIM spec working, among others ?
Or are there any other LG dual SIM devices fully supported?

It has FM radio and TV radio. Size is not that much, I've get used in 2-3 days. Budget I u derstand.
G7 is fine.
