HI guys.. I would like to ask regarding the LG OPTIMUS G JAPAN Variant..once we will have some XDA touch with our LG OPTIMUS phones.. will the Japan Variant (DOCOMO LG OPTIMUS G L-01E, AT&T and the INternational version will be different from each other?
no one cares about my thread...so sad
I don't think anyone knows at this point
yup..i think you have a point..thanks dude...anyway, i emailed LG already.hoping for a good and satisfying reply and the possibility to unlock bootloaders.. CHEERS!!1
Japan version is waterproof afaik. I am also looking for international usability and sim lock thing...
regards.
yup waterproof and dustproof.. seller told me that you can take pictures/video underwater about 1m.LOL... but what i liked was the SD Card Support.. problem is it has a TV Antenna..but its ok... Philippines uses the same ISDB Standards with JAPAN.. but what I really like is the ROOT..still no news about possible Rooting for the Japan VErsion... and my LG OG will come still next week..hahaha
Docomo lg l-01e optimus g
Think you bought from the same ebay seller as me Chaco lol. But I do know one thing I have been searching high and low and looked thru all threads and could not find much info about the Japan version, none the less anyone working on a recovery or root for it. Some info would be great Already have this thing bought and never thought about looking to see if the bootloader was locked. Mistake I will not make twice lol.
hahaha.. gene..looks like he is the only one seller on ebay for the japan variant..dont know about your place (if we are different) but its seems it ill be ages for us here to have the international version..so i cant wait..thats why i ordered it immediately..hahaha.. nonetheless...its not really a lost game here.. compared the specs.. we have sd support for the latest sdxc cards and removable battery (2200maH!!!) and not to mention the ability to take picture and vids under 1m water..haaahaa..cheers to us...
besides you and me..looks like we are not alone as the L-01E users. why not (if possible) make this as our hang out for the L-01E users? who knows..maybe one of us can find something or help each other out..
FYI// sir thecube is planning to help us..though they said they will do it on variant orderly basis..and looks like we are the last...so we are still not at a lost here... anyway..its ony a few weeks right?
Thats right weeks or months no matter im enjoying the phone, the locked bootloader tho maybe a bad thing foe us lol. Not only are we 2 of few who has this phone lol we have it with a locked booloader. Lol. Either way between you and myself maybe thecubed will help. As i told him i will donate if he is going to do so. Just sucks that such a powerful and nice spec filled smartphone has to sit on the back burner till then. Off toppic tho the docomo bloatware on this is outragous there is way to much stuff on here from them, including rhw antanna bahahahabaha

yup..cannot find the right reception though here in the philippines for the mobile tv app..though the philippines and japan uses the same japan single band for mobile dtv..
yup..so much bloatware.abd without root access..we cannot delete any of them...
dont know when will our phone sit in the corner for now..we will see..
so you just use the normal home launcher? dont know what to customize..hahaha...
Sent from my L-01E using xda app-developers app
Yea theres tons of bloatware but i went in task manager and disabled it all which in turn hided it from the application folder so that was great. As for the tv, im in canada so it dont work period. I mainly bought this one for the water proofing and the removable batter tho so.
But i do have one good question for you. Is the camera only accessable to you on the lock scree? I cant seem to access the phone or the text messaging apps? Its faded out only the unlock and camera apps are touchable.
Sent from my L-01E using xda app-developers app
hmmmm... i used the go locker... and there is only the unlock, messaging and phone (call) app... when i was on the default docomo launcher... i usually use the normal TAP unlock. to bad we didnt have the special LG unlock style..the 3d watery effect..
i bought this phone merely because no availability here for now in the philippines...and ofcourse the sd support, removable battery, water proof..and believing about japanese standards.. too bad though we dont have the special Back Glossy feel that the other variants have
so even though you have your own model there..but you preffered the docomo variant
still i liked our phone though..and if in the future there will be dev support..then everything will be perfect!!!
really? i will try disabling some other apps too...
hope other L-01E users will try read with our forum as well
sorry for the double post..cant edit via xda app...
do you have simtool kit?

its a usual app on all phones so you could use your operators services...dont know why its absent on our phones

hmmmm..havent checked it Philippines yet...hope it will be ok
i really thought that once you have 4G and the country is also 4G capable..there will be no problems...sorry for being such a noob.. but all in all..in my opinion.. L-01E is the BEST OPTIMUS G there is...so i believe L-01E is by far the best in the market (downside though is the ROOT and CUSTOM capability..for now)
L-01E
I have been using this phone for a week now. And all I can say is wow!... Its really worth my time waiting for it.... I really hope that I can find a cover like that of the AU's (the white ones)
this is insane, there is like no development going on for the L-01E at all. this frustrates me and makes me believe i bought the wrong smartphone now.

So last night i was cycling home from a club and i must say i was a little drunk. So i dropped my phone on the street when i was calling my gf, next thing i know my touchscreen didn't work anymore. So i wanna know if i should send it for repair or just buy a new phone (something in the pricerange of the HTC desire S or the X10 itself), and wich phone i should buy.
Thanks in advance
What is your phone company? For example, ATT or verison or other one like that?
Sent from my Atrix 4G with XDA Premium App
Repair will cost more than a new phone. Call your phone company if you are under contract. They will have some special deals for you.

I live over at the netherlands and phone companies aren't that generous over here. Nevertheless I have a contract with t-mobile. so would you reccomend me a HTC desire over a X10? (wich cost the same around here)
Got an offer to buy a SGS for €300, so i couldn't refuse. That thing is blazing fast btw and the screen is sooo pretty and i'm only on stock rom that makes me wonder what it can do

The SGS1 or SGS2?
If you got the SGS1, that's not the best deal but a SGS2 would be a very nice deal.

Hopefully I have put this in the right thread.
My slight dilema is this....
I had a HTC Sensation, got bored and purchased a Nokia Lumia 800. Don't like the phone, don't like the OS and want to go back to Android. I only have a budget of between £200 - £250 to buy another phone and just wanted the opinion of the vast number of members on what phone to get within that price range.
Don't mind a used phone but don't want to go back to Sensation. The Galaxy SII is going over what I can afford so what's the next best thing? Needs to be loud!
Thanks in advance for any opinions.
The Optimus 2x (g2x on my side) is a diamond in the rough if you can find one.

you wanna ask yourself what you want from the phone too tbh. Personal preference for me is one with a hardware keyboard so i went for the desire Z. never looked back from it. works how i want it to and not had any issues unless i caused them myself hehe.
Managed to find myself a Galaxy S Plus for less than £200 in as new condition with an 8GB card, that'll do until my contract is up in July.
I have to admit, the Lumia 800 does have some nice features though, although my wife wasn't impressed when my phone read out a text through the car kit by my brother complaining about his internet connection, I however was rolling with laughter!!!
Thanks for the help anyway.
I dont know if i post in the right section.
but i know that many experts in android are in here.
QUESTION:
What brand & unit have good specification
internal memory,processor,audio & Camera.??
and what android unit is the best for custom rom?
i already have LG OPTIMUS ME P350
i already customize it see my signature.
but im tired of it.
i want to buy a new one..

Want 2+ internal memory

Also want cheap

For getting it directly from Smart, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus would be your best option. I don't know if it would be different on your end, but by going to Google Play and getting the Gnexus from there unlocked, it would cost half as much. Sorry for the late reply.
Sent from my PC3610
Does Google Play still sell the GNex? I thought they pulled them off their site?
Best Android Phone bar non is Samsung GS3 or HTC One X. I heard a One X+ with fire-breathing, ear splitting quad-core and turbojets will be out in the fall.
They pulled it off for a week about a month ago, but its been back on since then.

Also known as the MT28, I know this phone was announced for only the Japanese market, and just recently in September. I am interested in any rumors for a potential international release. I would love to have this phone. I cannot underscore that enough. It is svelte & slim, has amazing resolution, and decent performance specs.
Has anyone outside Japan gotten a hold of this phone? Were you able to put it on another native language??
Thanks!
So do i, i cant wait to have this phone but this if it will be released internationally

Someone, somewhere suggested looking at http://www.kyoex.com/, but they do not have the SX listed... yet.
I have it!
I live in Japan and got it last week.
It is an awesome phone, perfect for me and English is in the menu, English keyboard too.
I can get them if anyone's interested?
If a developer that might make some custom ROMS etc in the future wants one all the better! 'Cause I dont reckon I can do it.

What was the street price? At Kyoex it's $775 + shipping.
A comparison to the new iPhone 5 -- http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4910&idPhone2=4775. The street price for an unlocked iPhone 5 is ~$1000
More spec's on Qualcomm's developer network: https://developer.qualcomm.com/device/sony-xperia-sx-so-05d
Its between 37000-50000 yen depending where you look.
From Docomo they are 50000, but there are loads of people that "turn over" the handsets to get cash by getting it free on a contract and selling it. They are between 37000-46000.

hi guys, i'm also really interested in this phone
I'm from Europe but i have a friend who will go to Japan soon and he could bring it back for me
I'm wondering, will everything work correctly in Europe and where will we have some devs, custom roms etc? Will XDA support this phone?
isn't it a bit pricey for those specs and screen size?
love the tall screen btw, but it reminds me of a very popular device currently on the market

In terms of bands in the UK at least Im not sure if 4G will work. It says 2100Mhz LTE (the UK is 1800Mhz LTE), however the chipset looks the same as for example the One XL and Xperia GX (Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon).
i'm only interested in 3g, i hope that could work OK, i will check with my carrier

actually it's a perfect phone because of it's screen size and the specs (pricy yes...a little bit)
right now i have an X10 and it's a bit too big for me, so this one could be just the right size
the only phone i could think of getting instead is the xperia sola but it's camera really disappointed me...
I actually went from an x10 to this and its perfect for me.
Its marked as a Docomo "world wing" phone so it should work anywhere in the world. Only thing is whether lte will work.
You prob won't be able to use the nfc stuff, tv and radio over there tho.

And I doubt xda will support it but I could translate and link the Japanese stuff if people get it.
Root has been done and there is a slow stream of customisations. No full Roms yet tho.

yeah, i believe it would be perfect for me also...
can you give me the link to the Japanese site? i want to see how google translate works for it
In my experience Google translate sucks with Japanese. Its grammar is too different I think.
I'm out at the moment but if you Google Xperia freaks jp it'll probably pop up.

does your phone boot up like this one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsUYR73r4xM
i got mine in china and it boots up like my Ray. first "SONY" then just "XPERIA". i don't have all the Docomo-Branding. My UI also just looks like my Ray and totally different from the one in the video. Build is 7.0.D.1.117. But it has the "NTTdocomo" on top of the front side.
english manual is here:

mine is june 2012. but it says "prototype" on the label.
i also got it without a box, but the shop owner told me that he had it gotten from Japan for me. very strange.
Wow. You've got yourself a prototype model for better or worse! Probably means the bootloader is unlocked and less docomo bloatware tho. Wonder how it will accept updates?
Yours was made in June, mine in august.

So the Amaze community is really quite fun to be a part of as of late, so many ROMs: awesome stock ICS based ones, to CM 10 being daily driver quality, CM 10.1 very active, Viper port is very active, I want to continue participating.
But, when my wife wants to get a hold of me, she never can because I have the phone in mid install or setup of some new ROM.
Time to start carrying two phones or risk divorce. Looking to find a cheap stable android phone supporting 850/1900 3G band to use mostly for phone and text (and some streaming music either google or rdio). Has to be SIM card compatible with Amaze. All the new phones seem to have gone to the smaller SIM size. Don't need much storage, won't be putting many apps on it. Oh and unlocked(able) of course.
Any suggestions?
myTouch 4G (Glacier) I have one which is my DD. Have CyanogenMod 7.2 with Darkside kernel. I can go almost 20 hours on a full charge with heavy texts calling and data. Wifi calling is aces and accessories are cheap and so are extra batteries and my replacement screen and digitizer was only 15 bux when mine broke.
Went with a LG Optimus G from Canadagsm
Found a SIM adapter. Fingers crossed, LTE 32GB otherwise a Nexus 4.
Priced almost the same.

Theres a thing in the optimus g development section that converts your phone in to a nexus 4 so you can run n4 roms on it. So i guess optimus g would mean the best of both worlds

In an unexpected twist, my work gave me a new Galaxy S4 a few weeks back. I ended up selling the LG to a friend (whom I'm trying to convince to join the XDA LG Optimus G forums/community, and try out the ROMs there, mostly because I wasn't allowed too, lol).
Man, I hate Touch Wiz and Samsung bloat. I'm not allowed to modify the phone or the IT department will shoot me. It does benchmark really well, and the LTE "feels" faster than on LG. But I still find myself using the Amaze for regular app use, even if though the S4 benchmarks so much higher.
So if you like Sense and don't like TW, stay away from the S4 if you are looking for a new phone. But do get an LTE phone if your area has it, the difference for me is amazing.
Since this last post the number of new ROMs on the Amaze is impressive. What a great community!
