Hi all
I wanted to ask all of you a question and see if you can guide me to the right direction. I have a virgin mobile Optimus V running bumblebee rom with clockwork mod. I wanted to upgrade my phone on virgin mobile to something newer and wanted to convert my LG optimus V to the Sprint Network. Is there a safe way to do this, and if there is is there any instructions on how to get this done the right way.
Also i might be wrong but not sure if the LG optimus s uses a different screen, but just looking for tips and how to tut.
Plus has anyone tried adding this to the sprint network and will i be able to add it once i convert it. do i just provide the SN of the phone or do they need anything else that the V phone don't have.
thanks for all your help
best regards

I doubt sprint will activate a virgin mobile ESN.
Call them and see if they'd be willing to activate your ESN.
You can flash sprint firmware to an OV, but there's no way to go back to the VM firmware, unfortunately. LG only released broken optimus V firmware files that won't flash.
Yes newbies do use the search button. I am also interested in the possibility of adding my Optimus V to a family plan on sprints network. Anyone have any luck?
just to let you guys know (because I know there is this stuff floating around the internet about it) the official stock Optimus One P500 open european V20g firmware works on the Optimus t or v, whatever. you just need to add the VPN info for the mobile data from your previous network to the new software. If you would like a guide on how to do it, just comment and i will comment it.
I have T-Mobile service in the US. The phone that I got originally from T-Mobile was an LGP509 with the V10s baseband. I flashed the new baseband (V20g) and it always worked fine for calls, 2g, and 3g. That one died a slow and painful death, so I went to Amazon.com and bought an actual unbranded LGP500. This one came with GB and the P500-M76XX-V20g-SEP-21-2011-XX baseband. The problem is that 3g has never worked on this phone since I got it, even though 2g works fine(but slowly). I noticed that the Baseband was a little different from the the one I installed on the old P509 ( which had a JUN-14-2011 date in the name), so I flashed the V20g JUN-14-2011 basband hoping to restore 3g. Successful flash, but still no 3g. Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this? Is it safe to flash the p509 V10s (old Baseband) to a p500 to see if that works?
I guess my question is this: Is there ANY hardware difference between the p500 and p509 that would prevent the p500 from working on T-Mobile's 3g network? AFAIK, the differences are in the radio firmware (baseband). Am I wrong?
Any help is much appreciated.
Forgive me if this is addressed anywhere else. For the life of me I couldn't find posts about anyone who as a p500 and wants to flash a p509 v10s baseband to it.
I dont think p500 will work on tmobile 3g
because optimus t is p509 with 1700 aws band
Thank you, you are absolutely right. I've been researching this issue today, and I'll share what I've found in case anyone else is interested/cares.
I got my hands on the elusive p509 service manual today. I've been comparing it to the more common p500 service manual. It looks like the two share a common PCB, but there are vacant sections of each phone's PCB which are populated on the other. These sections are essentially filters for the radio signals coming in and going out through the antenna.
The phone's software just selects the WCDMA antenna and whatever filters are in place determine which band is used.
I had originally thought that the capability was available in every p50x phone, but that it was selected based on available networks. I assumed wrong.

Hi,
I'm in the UK and I work in the gadget repair industry. I have been asked to sort out an LG Optimus Big LU6800 that's having problems with the Wifi and Bluetooth. It's locked to a South Korean phone network called LG U+ (No Sim card)
After a couple of hours of research (which has been difficult given that there's not much English documentation or discussion on this phone) I think I've worked out that LG U+ have the phone locked down so that the WiFi and Bluetooth functionalities don't work unless you purchase a data plan with the network. I've also read that they blacklist the phone if the contract plan is terminated, also rendering Wifi and Bluetooth unusable. Is this even possible, or is this what they might have done?
Can anyone help me on this? Or can anyone fluent in Korean do some Googling on my behalf to find this out. I know it's not a hardware problem as I have already replaced the antenna to no avail. (this is my first experience with CDMA phones, I've never seen one before). I can't even boot the phone into developer mode, it seems like they've locked that down too .. meaning I don't actually know how I'm going to go around sorting this phone out.
Hopefully someone can help me, this seems like a good forum.
Thanks.
I'm on Vzw prepaid and recently bought a brand new Droid Turbo on Swappa. And I'm am really liking it, pretty good phone, BUT.... I soon figured out I can't talk & surf at the same time. My previous phone was a LG G2 and was able to do both anytime. I use my phone a lot for work, talking on Bluetooth or speakerphone and emailing. I have been very disappointed with this now and have been considering changing phones, I could maybe change to At&t and use this phone on their GSM network where they allow it, however I do like Vzw great coverage.
I think I've heard the LG G4 won't allow talk & surf too, but what about the G3. Can someone tell me, does the G3 allow talk & surf. I did like the G2, I want a phone with a good camera too as I use it also for work. My phone is half my job, so its important to me for it to keep up.
Thanks for any advice

I've had the g2 and the g3 and have never had an issue talking and web browsing simultaneously on basically any ROM, whether it be stock,aosp, or cm... And both cameras take wonderful pictures if you use the right camera app- Im not a fan of google camera
