I've had a hell of a time attempting to update my LG 360 CAM. I've installed LG Bridge software on 2 computers and have had no luck. Every time I try to check for a software update it says "cannot check software version, please try again".
After going round and round with LG support via email, twitter chat, and live chat really have not come to a conclusion as to why I cannot update my camera. According to the person on live chat, I apparently was sent a Korean model of the LG 360. Which is odd since the box is in English. This came directly from LG from a promotion to get the camera free. I've been trying to get help from LG to update the software or simply replace the camera since I cannot update it. Proven to be very difficult.
One thing I have been thinking now is if downloading the Korean version of LG Bridge will it update properly. So I got on to the Lg Korean website, translated the language and found the download. I updated drivers and downloaded Lg bridge. After installing the software it's all in english. So it seems there is no difference in software from US to Korea.
If anyone out there has any insight on what I could do, it would be greatly appreciated. I just want to update the software and take advantage of the new features.
I just wish the would have made the update over the air through the LG manager application on the phone. There should no reason to update software through a computer.

Hi, I have just purchased a LG G3 from Korea, its the LG F400S and it works fine, except the fact that I cant get into LG Smartworld app, well, I can get into it, it gives me the option of Korea location only, I am unable to change my location to UK in order for me to be able to understand it, how can I get around this, I have tried installing an .apk file but it wouldnt let me install, it said installation unsuccessful, does anyone have any idea on this, I would really appreciate your help on this.
Thanks in advance.

Same here
I also need to figure out how to get that working in english. I installed the VDTSuper light rom... Still no option in the LG smartworld app for any other regions.. just korean!
I then tried downloading it from their website directly, but they said my phone was unsupported!! I guess thats due to the rom.
If anyone knows how and has done it before, please share.
Cheers
It can be done, and used outside of Korea...
However the requirement is that you create an LG SmartWorld account that *thinks* you are in the Korean market. You will need access to a Korean cell phone number (as that is part of the registration process).
If anyone is visiting Korea on a rented Korean SIM, you might be able to activate it that way. I was fortunate enough to have some connections there who were kind enough to let me quickly borrow their phone # for the verification process.
After that, you should be able to login regardless of your physical location, as long as it thinks your account is Korean.
On the LG SmartWorld registration screen, it explicitly states (in Korean) that the service is only available there for now.
Hope this helps
Could this work with a vpn??? Set it to be in Korea or still need phone number from korea?

Not quite. The actual LG SmartWorld registration process requires you to enter in a Korean cell phone # to fully complete the registration. A Korean VPN would definitely help during registration, but you still need a valid Korean cell # to register. Most cell #'s there are 8 digits behind the "area code/region code" digits.
Thanks very much for the info, will try and getnanKorean cell number to do the registration, i will let you know how i get on

Hey guys, I won a G4 trial edition (input jealousy here) and it's been great, but I am having issues with SmartWorld. When I try to download something, for instance a theme, it says my device is not supported. Has anyone else had this issue? Or maybe its just because I have the trial unit?
I also have a trial edition and am unable to install anything from Smartworld. Actually, United States isn't even an option for me to select either lol. I'm guessing because it's not officially release yet here?

I have the International H815 (recently purchased from reputable seller) and have the same issue. It seems that Smartworld detects the IMEI or model number and then doesn't even give an option for the US and I can't find any way around that.

i live in greece and had no problem to register.i just choose united kingdom.the trick for me was to give my google mail(.com) and not my yahoo mail(.gr).when you open the app through the phone go and choose a theme,the app will ask you to sign in but just under t there are 3 option.the one i choose was to create a new acount.then a screen popped out with region(europe,asia etc) i choose europe,after that united kingdom.i endered my google account and then a message came asking me to verify the account through my e-mail.just to inform you there tons of apps and things to see in there.i was 3 hours playing with this smartworld.
I registered my H815 for smart world using my gmail account ( I live in Ireland) and when I tried to download a theme it persistently comes up with "unsupported country". I've contacted LG customer support who replied quickly looking for me to confirm my imei, place of purchase etc then a day or so later another response saying how strange this is and that they have escalated the problem to tech dept but have heard nothing since..........The saga continues!
When (if) I receive any further information from LG I'll update here.
Cheers.

Same problem. Asks to log in before downloading. Then gives "unsupported country".
Any ideas guys?

I have H815 and I'm in Argentina. I brought my LG in USA; it's the international version. It's working perfectly fine, but the Smart World application does not have Argentina as a country option, so I cannot use it, which is strange anyway because the phone operators already offer the G4 in country...any though?

My G4 died on me due to the bootloop issue and, as of now, LG will not fix it since it's an international edition. I was able to get smartworld to work. I registered with a different e-mail address and chose a different country (I believe I chose Korea). I was sent the verification e-mail then went into smartworld and I could get fonts and everything else that was there. The only thing is that some of the menus are in Korean so I just clicked until I saw something I wanted.
I just got my LG G4 with Verizon yesterday, and I wanted to check to make sure I had the new keyboard update. However, when I open About Phone there is no Update Center option. From what I could find on Youtube I think it is supposed to be in between Phone Name and Network but there is nothing there. What should I do?
So I have been waiting for the multiple user account feature else I was going to change my phone. Turn out, it's not available even on M.
Or did I not turn it on?
Anyone? Quite pissed off that I want to get a new phone now after waiting for the M update forever
Hi guys,
My LG G4 seems to be missing the wi-fi calling feature. I am on T-Mobile, but I purchased the phone from amazon. Tried to google an answer, but no one seems to have the same problem. I figured maybe someone here would know or care to take a stab at it. I even tried searching for it using quick shortcut maker and no luck.
I did notice that for some reason, the call reject list is hidden on my phone from the user. Quick shortcut maker was able to find it and create an icon for me, but I found that very unusual. My last phone was a G3 that didnt have these issues.
Phone Model number LGUS991
Hardware Revision 1.0
Android Version 6.0
Kernel Version 3.10.84
Build Number MRA58K
Software Version US99120a
Thanks for any help you can give
As far as I know, the US991 is the US Cellular variant.
The T-Mobile variant is h811. It has different software.
T-Mobile still hasn't made it so that any android device can use WiFi calling.
