I notice that a lot of people with LG SU370/KU3700/LU3700 phones come to the Optimus One forums, and get no answers. Apparently, most of us already here think that the people with questions about the LG SU370/KU3700/LU3700 are in the wrong section.
You guys are wrong.
The LG SU370/KU3700/LU3700 are all the Optimus One; they are all identical to the P500 model, except that they are the South Korean version. LG gives different model names to their South Korean units, and different model names for each carrier that has their unit.
So, once more, LG SU370/KU3700/LU3700 = P500.

Good question. But no, you cant. You can try it but it has 95% chance of bricking the phone. So at your own risk...
Hey guys, I'm really interested in this phone, and don't think I can wait for it to release in the US.
I want to buy the international version of this phone, so I don't have to wait, have it unlocked and have a better chance of root.
My concern is that the signal (bands/freq) will differ in some way when I try to use this on my AT&T account. I'm even sure I'm phrasing that right...
Before, I knew that international phones didn't support LTE because of the different processor.
I just want to make sure I will get the same signal strength and data experience with the International version of this phone vs the AT&T variant.
Is it better for me just to wait for the AT&T variant to come out?
You'll prolly get it cheaper if you wait.
Release date is end of October for VZW and Tmobile.... Early November for AT&T... According to what an LG product specialist wrote on reddit

Wait
buy korean variant.
Korean variants are always the best choice...
Why that?
Wait. Better band support and roms.
Completely depends on the bands you can use. But I would wait. They'll announce it in the US before the end of October as H960, fit for the US market (and in black).

Btw there is no intl. version. Only korean versions are offered on ebay. The US version H960 will be the one with the most frequency bands...

There is no benefit. I think he's just making a joke.
Some of that stigma comes from how Samsung phones used to be shipped. They used to make the international phone from an Exynos processor and send the US the Qualcomm processor variant which people deemed worse and slower. Now Samsung sends everybody the Exynos processor.
One thing that still remains a mystery is accessories. The US variant may or may not get the headphones. We don't know yet.

I saw an unboxing of a pre-release T-mobile variant, and the box lacked headphones unfortunately. I don't know this for fact, but I assume that AT&T will be the same...
No Band 12 on Tmo
I got the F600L (Korean variant) and am getting < 1 Mbps speeds -- always showing 3G HSPA+. This won't do.
I have the choice between F600 S/K/L, H962 and H961 models.
Which one would probably have the most chances of active ROM development in the future?
Thanks

Man, I miss my GPro. It seemed like crap dev-wise back then but it received some pretty decent support.
I only miss root so I can activate all LTE bands, other than that I am happy
Before, with Samsung Galaxy up to S5, I hated standard, not customizable at all, LG allows most things I like :good:
I using korean LG V10 (F600L)

its a long history, people are talking and saying that LG itself say to a user they dont will update G4 and V10 because Nougat runs unstable on SD808, but then i remember LG Nexus 5X and they have the same SoC than us, and i think the online support lie to the user in question and now that user are in "emergency mode" and post it in every thread they see and make panic between V10 and G4 users.
I belive we will get it, and of course if you have the Korean model you should get the update firt than us of international model or USA models. Korea make them firt for theyr country and after to worldwide!
Dont get too excited because i think until G6 dont get in the stores we dont get the updates, let the G6 have 1 week on the shelfs trying to sell and after that i think we get the update!
Relax...LG always do things like this, i remember in december 2015 with my G3 lose hopes if they get Marshmallow and then they release them to G3, G4 get it first by the time, software info on high end LG phones is always V10x, V20x and v30x - x is one letter of the software, so, G3 get Marshmallow, G Flex2 get it too last year when i have it...and remember G Flex2 is the dark member of the LG phones because the overheating SD810 and anyway they get the update to MM.
the Android 7.0 software update is now available for south korea variants of LG V10

Where only possible 3 or 4 months away from the launch of the G7 obviously it not going to have the Snapdragon 845 thank to Samsung.
My guess at specs.
Snapdragon 835
4GB of ram
64GB of storage as standard
Micro SD
18:9 5.7" POLED display at 2k
Quad DAC on all G7's variants
Improved dual camera with a more upto date sensor.
Headphone jack
USB Type C
ip68
Wireless charging on all G7 variants
Basically it more likely be a smaller version of the V30, unless they go for even slimmer bezel's this time around.
So will you buying one or will you wait for the V30 which will eventually drop in price & probably cost less than the G7 when that launches.
G7 will have snapdragon 845
I have my 870DS since August, why should I buy a new one if it's gonna die in 3 years, then I will think about a G10

Shifted from G3 to G6 after 2 happy years.
---------- Post added at 07:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------
I'm waiting for :
6GB of ram.
I'll probably wait for LG V40
Don't really see what could be an upgrade at this point.
Sure, you can always go faster processor, more RAM yadda yadda...
But let's be true here: the G6 is already a beast and you can hardly get it to stutter with normal usage (even with an realtively "old" processor).
So "upgrading" from G6 to a possible G7 seems odd.
Maybe from older devices, yes.
I've had my G6 for less than two months. G7?
I don't know. Not without the latest and greatest processor.
I wouldn't buy one with an 835 in it.
Daaaaaaamn these smarpthone versions releases are rolling like hot cakes... shiiit Just got the G6 & V30 just been released holy madre...
For me if the G7 comes with better of all inclluding the Cine Log feature from V30 and a way better front Camera as well as improved or better Back camera and if, only if it comes to Videotron here in Quebec/Montreal as this time, Videotron Marketing guys were stupid enough to not get the LG V30 but instead they got Exlusive Pixel 2 & 2XL and they're not selling at all.. yeees i'd buy the G7 and also if the form factor of the overall phone is a bit wider in the feel of the hands as the G6 seems a bit thinner in terms of grip I find. And would be nice if Videotron could get LG phones that comes with DAC features
By the way, those who own a G6, did you guys noticed that Instragram has been pre-installed? If yes, how can I fully un-install it, i mean fully without leaving any trace of it so I can go and install some Instagram Mods??
Thanks guys

If you buy the unlocked versions (US or international) you can unlock the BL.
If they are carrier branded, the carrier decides if the BL can be unlocked.
But I guess you won't be buying Samsung either. KNOX is a pain.
I'll probably keep my G6 for another year or so. I think after that I'll hop over to a pixel phone.

well I'm from india..here only locked bootloader available..and even if i import the device bands wont match and data gives me trouble..and I'm using my old Samsung note5 kept the g6 aside from almost 2 months
Will never buy an lg phone ever again...for the simple fact that most versions are not boot unlocked. Especially in canada where I am. I got the lgg6 and still no news about a root. Ill go back to samsung.

Hi,
Good to find some Montreal folks here By the way, I don't know if my information is correct but with Videotron or with the new law that has pass here in Quebec, when you buy a new smartphone, 2 months after you can call your carrier and tell them to fully "Unlock" your phone, meaning the BL. Just bought a week and half ago my LG G6 (coming from Nexus6P, had to change cuz battery draining fast now, gonna change the battery) and I asked the question to the seller and he confirmed to me, that in December, just call Videotron or come by and will make the call for you to get your LG G6 fully unlocked. And I told him, if ain't true i'm going back to kick his ass. And thats when he also mentioned me about the new law as well. So I don't know if this applies to other carriers (should be as long as you're in Quebec/montreal etc..) but you should double check.
By the way, are you saying that Samsungs phones when you buy them here either Videotron or Bell etc.. they are already Unlocked??? Can you confirm??
Also whats the reason you got the LG G6?? Me its mostly the Wide Angle feature. I was battling between Note8 & LG G6 and I went with the LG G6 even though I know that in terms of quality, Samsung Note 8 camera has an edge over the G6 and I heard that Note8 takes also two pics when you take a pic including a wide one but Note8 from what i've research does NOT have that WIDE ANGLE feature LG has... am I wrong???
Very curious

Hey man
Well Bootloader lock is not the same as carrier lock. The carrier lock thing you are talking about I already know about it. Its not the same thing. Everywhere in canada there will be no more carrier lock on any phone starting December amd you can call to unlock for free if u had a phone before that.
A boot lock is not the same tho. I went with LG instead of samsung cuz at the time the note 8 and s8 wasnt out yet...i was always a Samsung guy... Also the g6 looked nice and had a big screen...wht i didnt know tho is that lg has menu buttons on screen that you cannot hide unless u buy an app and they eat away from the screen making it a small screen size after all. Also lg has a bad history of not unlocking bootloaders and i didnt know that...samsung on the other hand, I was able to root on day one! All the samsung notes i had from the first nite to the note 5.
I've been trying to sell my g6 and get a note 8.
But aside from all that...the g6 is a great phone...battery life is crazy on it...it lasts a full week on one charge with heavy use. But lets face it...we are all here because we want to root and customize our phones not just to talk how nice they are haha.

Hey man, thanks for your reply and for explaining the difference btw the two Bootlaoder & carrier lock. Appreciate . Thats one other reason why I always had Google signed phone whether developed by Huawei or LG etc.. but with google phones I could as well UNLOCK them instantly.
True about LG G6 menu button on screen but for me that does NOT really bother me to be honest. First thing I did when I got my G6 is install Nova Prime Launcher and make it look like Stock android Oreo period and the rest stays LG style. You see I didn't know much about LG's bad history in regard to unlocking bootloaders
For me, I had and still have an amazing offer DEAL for the Note8 with Videotron but as long as Note can't have that G6 Wide angle option camera, I can pass the Note8 and maybe wait and see what the S9 will bring. Cuz honstly the G6 is a stunning phone just the screen is stellar. Sucks that Videotron ain't getting the V30 this time, they decided to get Pixel phones.
Oh well, lets crossfinger that a working unlock bootloader of G6 or LG will come soon
Best,
Since I like snappin photos, especially in low light conditions and I am pretty dissapointed with how lg treats its european costumers I'll definitely go for a samsung or google phone.
