buying G3 in HK and bringing back to FR

Hi,
I'm on vacation in HK (cool city BTW), wondering if it is possible to buy a G3 there then bringing it back to France? All the functionality ll work? 4G, call, etc.
Thanks you for helping me guys

If the model number is D855 then yes, you may need to change the firmware in order to select the LTE band though. Not 100% sure if the HK model is different to the 855 so you'd need to check it all first to be surr

Hey welcome to hk. to answer your question the G3 sold locally at retail stores are the D855 varient. the bands are as follow.
LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600
HSDPA UMTS 900 2100
GSM 850 900 1800 1900
You can buy paralle imports since you won't be honored with warranty from LG in France with a hk model phone anyways. they're usually $1000-$1500 HKD cheaper than retail. hope you find what you need!
www.price.com.hk is a good place to start

I am not sure, you would have to check with LG on that part. On a side note, you should get the F460 Cat 6 version since you're in hk. they have them imported from s.korea for around 4700 hkd :laugh:

I don't think the Mi4 is out yet, but you can preorder. I think they'll be available late august, so if you're still in hk, then thats fine.
As for other phones, u can definitely check out the Oppo find 7 or oneplus one which many stores have in stock. i think those are great buys attheir respective prices. Another phone i would look into with ultra thin bezel is the Sharp AQUOS ZETA SH-04F.

LG G4 H818P or H815

Hello,,
As in the title, I want to know what should I get? LG G4 H818P or H815 ?
From what I know the only difference is that 818P come with dual sim. Is there any other differences ?
and I love switching roms, which one will have more roms and development?
thank you.

Most dial am phones have less Rom support. Since we are so early in the life of G4, you might want to wait or you might be taking your chances on the dual sim one.

Which one is the international model anyway?

The H815

buying LG G3

Which one LG G3 is best to buy and which one is best for rooting and other purposes?
Also which one got marshmallow updates?
Thanks in advance

Maybe he found a G3 that was cheaper than $25

I used to have an LG G3 and while it was a good phone when I had it, the Droid Turbo is a far superior phone. If I was somehow interested in getting another G3 i'd import the Korea Only snapdragon 805 version.

LG G4 motherboard swap

Hi guys,
Wanted to ask if it is possible to swap the model of the motherboard on LG G4.
I have a broken H815 (bootloop) but the housing and display are OK.
I want to get a mother board from Korean Model F500L S K. Are they the same dimensions and does korean mainboard fit on my housing and connect to camera display etc?
And are the korean models affected by the boot loop since I'm no seeing any of them on the internet.

Yes, the motherboards have the same dimensions. It will work

Korean version probably not as popular
Get h815 again

Korean version has similar mobo as the H815, but as mentioned above, its not that that's why you dont see them bootlooped. Only advantage of the F500 is the new 7.0 FW.

Bootloop is a known problem of the LG G4.
The cause is a loose contact on the PCB.
LG offers a free repair.
Owners of a LG G4 affected by the bootloop are requested by the company to contact their mobile operator to initiate the repair process.
Customers who have purchased the G4 in free trade are kindly requested to contact LG support directly.
The repair takes place within the framework of the guarantee conditions and is therefore not associated with costs for the owner.
In addition, the company apologizes for the inconvenience that the previous solutions have brought to customers.
Previous misdiagnosis resulted in the replacement of wrong parts of the smartphone.

Nah, I'm not interested on the os version.
I just was wondering if F500's have less bootloop issues.

Well Thank YOU very much for the answer, I'm very aware why the bootloop problem was occurring and know the whole history of the problem.
But I live in Kosovo and we don't have an official lg retail store.
I contacted LG Serbia and explained them my situation. But they were willing to help just the cases when phones where bought in Serbia, so nothing for me :crying:
Since you provided some information about "free trade" phones. Is there still a chance for me to get a fix for my phone. Since when it bootlooped it was only 8 months old. So well under the "1 year warranty policy".
Thank You Very much again.

The F500 which is the Korean version I think has LTE bands/frequencies missing or disabled which makes it a no go for use in western europe at least. It might be okay on some networks depending on what frequencies your network provider uses but in general I'm sure the F500 is the most limited version when it comes to working frequencies so it would be much better to get H815 or H811. The F500 mobo is exactly the same shape as other models btw.

Your welcome. My first G4 was a F500 and I found that 2g didn't work in bad signal areas so I couldn't even make a phone call. Also 4G+ didn't work either. It was possible to put H815 firmware on it but that did NOT enable the missing frequencies so I had to buy a new one.

Yeah a phone with no 2G and 4G is probably useless.
But now I wonder if H811 European models, suffer less from bootloop, because if I decide to buy a new mother board the last thing I want to happen is my phone dying again.
I talked to a mobile phone shop owner here and he told me that they just returned many G4 since they still bootlooping (after only 1 month of use). And they won't sell them anymore.

I bought a refurbished G4 for 170 euro. It has a s/n of 701, in other works very recently manufactured....I have it working fine for 5 months now with no issues at all. So I would only buy one with serial 609 upwards. It's not know for certain which one is okay but the more recent the better. It does not matter at all whether is F500/H815/H811/etc where bootloop issue is concerned.

Thank you so much for the advice.
Yesterday I found a G4 H811 in a mobile shop here. But it was S/N 401 so a big NO NO for that
I will be thinking of buying a brand new mother board from china and replace it myself and it is half the price of a new phone.

I asked the China supplier what was the serial number and he woulnt tell me. Thls means that althought the board is new and unused it may still be an old one with bootloop issue down the line.
The best thing to do is make sure s/n is 701 up. You can ask eBay seller what is s/n by email before buying if buying used one. They will be happy to tell you. That what I did and enjoying fone since!
