Hi People,
Ive purchased an LG G2 32gb which im hoping to arrive today i live in the UK, i believe that the phone is either from France or Germany.
My question is, do they run the exact same firmware as UK the reason i ask is if the UK get a firmware update, am i likely to receive it on my 32gb G2 ?
Also in terms of warrenty, am i covered ?
Many Thanks in Advance

Hahahaha! Firmware update hahahaha.... No one will get it coz its LG
LG G2
Its only because i believe 4.4 is due to be pushed out end of Nov early Dec.
Im assuming they have had the firmware for a while as they made the nexus 5.
I believe the model of g2 im getting is D802
Would you know though if the firmware updates if indeed they did come, would be received if pushing to UK ?

It has to do with your phone model. Not which country your in. The d802is international. So when LG releases for that model you'll get it.
My phone was probably made over seas, and I'm in the US. Has no impact on when I will get an update.

I think he is refering to LG being the slowest smarphone maker to put out updates.

Chances are that we are going to see very few updates from LG.

I agree. No reliable source has announced it yet.
I start to realize ... it's a LG phone, updates ha ha. I had a LG 2X lets hope this wasn't a stupid choice in the long run

As long as they do some patches to fix bugs and maybe update it one or two times, I'm happy. This phone is so much better than any other phone I have owned till now. I am pretty happy with it as it is now.

My guess is this is likely for the international version. For the ATT version I would suggest ICS will take 2-3 more months to arrive. ATT does not know the meaning of moving quickly.
Idk Samsung pushing for a global simultaneous release for the gs3 so heres hoping the lag between updates is only a few weeks

akjdhflskdjlskdjfls i want it asap!!!
I think we have to hope for CM9, tbh. Samsung is definitely making good progress on ICS for international Note and GS2, but these devices (AT&T Note and Skyrocket) are both gated by AT&T, and running completely different hardware. I had an Infuse for a while, which got gingerbread from AT&T at the end of January. Hopefully that is not indicative of the delay we'll see for ICS on the Note, but I'm not holding my breath--I have literally no faith in AT&T's ability to deliver updates in a timely manner.
Like Dave said, it's probably for the international version. Although my guess would be that you might be able to upgrade it anyway

That won't happen.. they have to clear the firmware through att first and I guarantee att doesn't even have it yet so a few months after they get it is what you should count on.

Looked through quite a few pages and haven't seen this asked. Unfortunately I can't put up with the call problems of the Gnex. I just use my phone too much for work. Was considering getting the s 3 under warranty replacement if they allow it. Does anyone know if can be rooted and unlocked?
It's not even available yet........

Genius in the house. I can't even count the number of time a device has been rooted before available. The international S3 was one of them.

Good luck getting the S3 as a warranty replacement because its not going to happen, the phone hasn't been released no one has one to mess with or anything so as of now it is unknown. If it was rooted I'm sure it would have been posted already all over different forums

Yeah guys/girls at Verizon stores are stupider than my door knob, example went in to the store today to get a 4G LTE sim card for my thunderbolt that's been sitting in my night stand and now my sister wants to use and the lady and guy both working said that not only I needed to bring the device in but now there's a fee for the sim card :what:
I attempted to get the S3 as a replacement and from my understanding the only way it would be possible is if there was a certified like new device available.

Hmmm... I have a cracked screen and was thinking of using my insurance anyways. I wonder if I bring it in brand new and never even been taken out of the box if they would replace it that way? One could argue it's close to being the same phone to someone who doesn't really know the difference

First of all, the phone has already been released in Europe and parts of Asia for some time. Second, a while back somebody leaked the official samsung software rom for the S3, and hackers made quick work of it and had a root method within a day (http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-s3-rooted-stock-rom-leaked/). If you google "samsung s3 root" you will find lots of pages telling you how to root. Here's one example of such a site: http://theunlockr.com/2012/05/26/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s3-smartphone/
I know people are saying that you cannot get a S3 as a replacement but in my situation they did give me an early upgrade to a RAZR Maxx. I had to pay 200 for it but I at least got a phone with good signal. I asked about the S3 as an option and the csr said I could if I was willing to wait. I had another upgrade coming so I had already preordered the S3. My wife is getting the RAZR MAXX and she is thrilled.

Umm no. The CDMA/LTE version from Verizon has NOT been released anywhere yet. It's totally different than the one you are talking about.
Sent from my GT-I9300 Galaxy S3.
I think China Telecom may also release it at about the same time, and it will be CDMA.
Its a samsung so 99% Yes, Though give it a few weeks, it'll be up to 100% and then mmmm aokp
from what i've heard all of us in north america (canada, America, will get the exact slab of hardware, Also at&t's source was just released tonight so sit tight maybe by the end of this week its gonna be rooted!)
Here is proof that phones get rooted before release all the time. ATT, Sprint, and T-Mobile S3s' all have been rooted before anyone has the phone. I'm sure that Verizon's is just around the corner.

Get your facts straight:
- Verizon S4 isn't in retail stores yet.
- LG Optimus G Pro was in AT&T retail stores as of May 10th.
It is still ridiculous that there is no Verizon S4 forum yet. Considering Verizon is the United States largest service provider, and the S4 is considered the flagship phone of Samsung and probably Verizon. The phone releases in less than 4 days.

If the LG Optimus G Pro can get a forum 4 days after it's retail release, you can bet that the moderators will make one for the Verizon S4 as well.
Until then... quit whining.

The GS3 was the best selling android phone of all time. The GS4 is the next big thing. It's here. Development has started. Verizon posts and threads have begun to clutter the other forums. t's time for a Verizon forum. Some phones get their forums months in advanced, asking for one a few days before release isn't asking much, and very far from whining.

This is the response i received a few hours ago :
My whole reason for asking for unlocked was to Unlock the Bootloader. This would technically be my 1st LG I've ever own since July 2010 when I got my very 1st Android through Sprint Called the HTC EVO. I havent looked to another OS since. Feel in love with Development from the start, currently on Moto G7 aka River Android Dev Team and just left the Google Pixel 4 4XL Dev Group. Bunch of immature lil kids.... Anyway, is there no possibility of Unlocking the BootLoader in the V60? no way to install or flash Magisk for ROOT? No TWRP? I cant even imagine....[emoji23]

They were listed as international versions on Amazon a week before launch....

Not surprised in the slightest that this is the case now and probably will get more prominent going forward. I'm guessing the money is in the carriers and not in selling unlocked phones direct to consumers.

Carrier Unlock isnt an issue, Just went through it on my Pixel 4XL. Took me (7) devices but once i found the right rep at TMO i was able to get them to unlock it, a) Same day i received it, b) wasnt even active on my account yet c)100% of Device was owed. d):laugh:

Be careful! The carrier-locked LG phones only show carrier-specific radio bands in their spec sheets. This seems improbable in a modern phone but I'm not taking any chances. If the specs are right, a T-Mobile phone would work great at home but be dead while traveling.
