Following the unveiling of Optimus 3D from LG, or the EVO 3D from HTC, Sharp announced the upcoming availability of Aquos SH-12C, a handset packing dual cameras on the back, capable of shooting in 3D.
But first thing first. The new mobile phone from Sharp is powered by Google's latest Android flavor for smartphones, namely Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
The handset also includes a Qualcomm MSM8255 chip, with the processor clocked in at 1.4GHz, which should provide it with great performance levels, and which is complemented by 512MB of RAM.
Moreover, the handset would arrive on shelves with a 4.2-inch touchscreen display that can deliver a qHD (540 x 960 pixels) resolution, with glasses-free 3D capabilities.
On the back, the mobile phone would include dual cameras of eight megapixels for 2D and 3D video and picture capturing.
The specifications list of the new device would also include 2GB of ROM, and a microSD memory card slot with support for additional storage space.
At the same time, the device is expected to arrive on shelves with HSDPA 14Mpbs connectivity capabilities, complemented by WiFi and Bluetooth, HDMI port, and built-in GPS receiver.
It might also include an infrared port, a popular feature on handsets released in Japan.
The Sharp Aquos SH-12C is expected to arrive on the market in Japan on the airwaves of NTT DoCoMo starting with May 20. No info on its possible arrival in other markets around the world emerged for the time being.
Sharp also announced that the new mobile phone would hit the shelves in two color versions, and that it would sport the TapFlow UI on top of the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system.
The Sharp Aquos SH-12C measures 64 x 127 x 11.9mm (13.8mm at its thicker point) and weighs in at 138 grams.

how to sim unlock Sharp SH-12C
No one know how to do
Master
please help me~
Your post is about ONE YEAR late. The SH-12C was released in May 2011. The ONLY way to SIM unlock is for the original buyer (who has the original purchase receipt) to take the phone to a DoCoMo shop in Japan, and pay the 3150 Yen unlock fee (about 30 euros).
The Answer
I just wrote the complete answer to this here:

How to Find sim unlock code?
I've been looking at a few spec lists and a few have listed a dual SIM option but can't confirm. Will the version available in the US have dual-SIM?
Small feature but really convenient when traveling abroad.

None of the U.S. carriers that I know of will be selling a dual-SIM variant. If you want that you will probably have to order online from another country. And only two models will have the official LG bootloader unlock, that's the "unlocked carrier" U.S. and European models. So, you will probably give forgo that bootloader unlock option if you get dual SIM variant.
According to the page below, there's a european model with Dual SIM. Not sure if it will be unlocked though (unsure if all european models will be):

V30 H930 will be the European carrier unlocked model, as far as I know. Any letters after the "H930" mean a country or carrier variant, not the "carrier unlocked".
Id be interested to know if it is Dual Sim + Dedicated SD card, or is another very annoying Hybrid sim system. (GSM Arena seems to say its a dedicated SD but no review i have read so far mention this).
Happy to look to the India/SE Asia models if they are offering such a spec?
Spoke to carphone warehouse today, who are exclusive provider in UK. The rep said they will have the h930 variety, which will be unlocked for all carriers either on contract or sim free. He said that h930 version doesn't have dual sim. Judging by that tech walls post only the 128gb plus variety will have a dual sim h930ds.
Shame I really wanted a dual sim phone that isnt a Samsung or op5

The closest option to the V30 with dual-SIM, I would say is the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2. It isn't IP68, doesn't have a quad-DAC, but it does have more RAM, is dual-SIM, and is about the same size. The screen on the Mi Mix 2 though is full HD instead of QHD though but that will mean longer battery life for the Mi Mix 2 each day.

So which part of it is close to the V30? Screen is actually Full HD+ , meaning 1080 X 2160, which again is nothing like the V30

Close as in, similar size, but both have their positives and negatives. Better battery life with a lower resolution and vice versa. There is nothing wrong with a 1080 X 2160 screen on a 6" screen phone when using a decent screen.

It's about the same size. As are a lot of phones. That's the only similarity.
QHD (1440p) vs 1080p is a HUGE difference to have a premium (top tier) phone. I've had QHD since 2014 with my 5.2" 1440p AMOLED Moto XT1225, and I've had Qi wireless charging since 2013 (with LG Nexus 5 and then the Moto XT1225). I'm NEVER downgrading specs, I'm going to keep the same or upgrade. If a phone doesn't have at least 1440p (especially on a 6" display) or Qi wireless charging I'm not buying it.
Since 2014, all major OEMs (Samsung, LG, Motorola, Sony, HTC) have gone to 1440p (or higher with Sony) for their flagship phones. Even ZTE with the excellent ZTE Axon 7 last year had 1440p AMOLED. If you can't go past 1080p, I don't consider you a major manufacturer. That's why I say OnePlus is a pretender.
As for battery, OEMs just need to put in a BIGGER battery. My 5.2" 1440p Moto XT1225 has a 3900 mAh battery. There's no limit on battery size they can put into a phone. Especially spread out over a 6" frame! So what if it's 1mm thicker! No one is begging for credit card thin phones anyway.

Although I am not 100% sure, I think Xiaomi does have 1440p screens in some of their phones. I am glad you mentioned ZTE's Axon 7 though. That is a perfect example of a 1440p screen phone where the rest of the hardware and software was an absolute disaster. Speaker issues, charging port issues, and many software issues, just to mention a few. Thankfully they went with physical buttons under the screen that ensured I wouldn't buy it. I would have been so mad if I had wasted my money buying two of them!
My last three phones are the Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, and Nexus 5. I have not used a 1080p screen on a newer phone but I wouldn't think there is a massive difference on panel sizes so small. I guess seeing is believing though.

I'm not too sure what you mean by that. Both are dual standby.
So, any ideas where we can source the V30+ H930DS model from?

So, for example, my G4 had dual sim + a dedicated SD slot. so i can have 2 sims and my SD card all working at the same time.
Manufacturers these days (for some reason I cant understand) have decided to make it a 'one or the other' scenario. The Dual sim/SD card uses the same tray, so you can only have one of either dual sim, OR 1 sim + 1 SD. this is known as a hybrid sim system. I hate it.

I don't believe any of them officially support all three. Even the ZTE Axon 7 didn't officially support all three but it did work. Removing the SIM from the plastic shell without damaging it and sticking it to the MicroSD card looks easier than it is.

There are tutorials on YouTube showing how to do it. Melting the glue holding the SIM to the plastic without cooking it as well as not bending the SIM too much while removing it are the parts I would say isn't easy. If you are going to try though, I would suggest having a few SIM's on hand just in case one or two get damaged.

I haven't seen any. If you find any, let me know. I lump them in with all the other budget OEMs who can't really make a high spec phone, but have lots of hype.

The Mi Note Pro from way back in 2015 had a QHD display. It just seems the ones that do have a QHD display don't really catch my interest because they are basically clones of phones I wouldn't buy anyway.
Still no sign of the dual sim version? Anyone have any info on expected release date?
Hey,
I was just wondering what do you do with your tablets? Do you use it for entertainment or work? I wanted to get some ideas so I figured out I'll ask here.
Thanks for the answers
so only after a couple of days
So I bought the M5 10.8 LTE (CRM-AL09) 4GB / 64GB and I can tell you what I bought it for and used so far. Does that qualify to your question?
Short version: I use it as a cheap LTE connected laptop.
Long version:
The problem I was solving was the weird way USA T-Mobile charges for lines meant that in the family plan I pay for, 4 lines cost the same as 3 lines and so I was left with a T-Mobile phone line SIM in a dual-SIM phone doing nothing the vast majority of the time, as I have ATT line from work, so I was looking to move my T-Mobile SIM to something which could make a difference. Most laptops or tablets with LTE require a data SIM which costs something, a big phone can use a phone SIM which is cheaper or for me effectively free.
I already owned a Nexus 10 I used when home, I'd replaced its battery so it did a good job or being at home on strong Wifi (Nexus 10 Wifi is crap) and just watch videos or just use Chrome. So a high-res 10" Wifi was covered.
I already owned a Nexus 7 2013, I'd also replaced its battery, for pocket-size 7" size.
I already had a Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus which was a 8" Wifi. So 8" Wifi was covered.
So I figured I'd go for a basically massively big phone so when not on Wifi I got a laptop type size device, without paying for a tablet data line.
That means for me its a laptop when on the move which is independently LTE connected. I have a 128GB SD card so its got lots of downloaded media.
Entertainment... Internet, YouTube, videos, ebooks, private mail.

Hi, I have 8.4" Mediapad and it's my main driver. I use it mainly for watching online videos, web browsing ect whilst on breaks at work. Also use it as phone. Best tech I've bought
It's my every day phone. I use it for everything...just wish it had an ear speaker. Great for videos and media. Call quality could be better but otherwise, a great device with 4G capabilities in the U.S. (STH-AL09.)
So my phone busted, I pulled out the G5 I've had in a drawer for awhile and the GPS doesn't work very well (never did) I drive for a living so that's not going to work.
I found a refurbished G6 (with warranty) and a used V30 for about the same price, I was hoping to root to get rid of bloatware and boost performance if possible, any pros vs cons of either or any help deciding would be greatly appreciated
Ps: I'm a noob to rooting

1) All V30/V30+/V30S can be bootloader unlocked and rooted.
2) Even without bootloader unlock and root, the V30 is much better than the G6. Late 2017 V30 is what the early 2017 G6 should have been, but wasn't. G6 had "regionalized" specs for different variants, and old 2016 Snapdragon.

What variant did you buy? LS998, H931, H930, etc?
Where do you live (what country) and if in U.S., what carrier?
If you live in U.S., hope you didn't buy any of the H930 variants due to lack of U.S. frequencies...

OK. When it arrives, activate on Sprint first before making any changes.
I would like to get rid of as much of the sprint apps as possible as well as get rid of some of LG's stuff such friends and their fitness app anything piggybacking on actual needed software or are those safe to delete?
I'm sure there are others I'd like to get rid of but that's all that's coming to mind without the actual phone in my hand

We can talk more when you get your phone. While there are some things you can uninstall like the social media apps, be very careful uninstalling system apps. It's safer to freeze them in Titanium Backup than to try to actually remove them.
People get irritated when they hear that, but a lot of this firmware is interconnected. You can remove something you don't think you want or need and it affects something you do need.
Best to freeze it. It's not running, it's not visible -- and if you find something has been affected you can easily unfreeze it.
Lots of people have tried to remove a whole bunch of stuff, then complain how much the phone is lagging. Whereas this firmware (latter Oreo especially) is very optimized with pure stock. I'm running rooted stock firmware with some Magisk and Xposed mods.
Again we can discuss this further when you actually get your phone and it's rooted.
Ok, I got the V30 but now I'm having trouble activating it, can anyone tell me what model sim card I'm supposed to use with sprint?
The people working at sprint didn't know and I only found one source online, it said W416Q, I just want to make sure I don't simply have the wrong sim cardView attachment 4869561
Ok update I've got the phone working with both data and calling, I'm going to read up and plan on touring as soon as possible
Just to verify I'm still curious about the SIM card,just want to make sure I'm not missing any bands or anything

I also did part time gig jobs driving, used to use LG G5 before that had major GPS issues (GPS location on phone used to be off by about 30 feet). I also replaced it and have LG G6, V30, and V35. For practical reasons I found LG G6 to be more driver friendly due to it's size/form factor, it's easier to handle it while your hands when you are busy carrying 5 Amazon boxes for deliveries lol. V30 is a lot bigger/wider phone and I have dropped it a few times because of that. You can put tempered glass screen protectors easily on the G6 and a rubber/tpu slim case gives a good grip on holding the phone. For LG V30, glass screen protectors don't work for me (I use skinomi wet screen protector) because of the curved edges and almost all the tpu cases I have bought for it on eBay and Amazon leave the screen exposed beyond the case edge making it more vulnerable to damage from falls. As far as using the phone itself, they are both great phones with V30 being more responsive due to more powerful chip in it.
The Oled screen is more vibrant and colors look awesome on the V30 but be warned that these types of screens easily get LCD burn-in and for drivers who have navigation apps open on the screen for hours, it is even more likely that you will get a LCD burn issue on a V30 where a ghost image of the navigation app burns into screen permanently and shows on screen at all times especially against white or bright backgrounds (this is why you will find a LOT of V30 phones with LCD burns on sale on eBay and elsewhere). I used a G6 for a couple of years doing gig jobs and in my experience IPS LCD display holds out pretty well with extended screen-on times. Although, I did notice bright spots appearing on screens after a while on a couple of my LG G6 phones that I used.
Unlocking bootloader and rooting is easy on both phones as there are great guides by devs Runningnak3d, ChazzMatt and JohnFawkes. SInce you own LS998, as ChazzMatt mentioned in his WTF post, you might wanna look up JohnFawkes's TWRP flashable stock rom which has some useful modifications.
Edit: Personally, I own and use both G6 and V30, most times I use G6 for work lol and then swap sim back into V30 when not working. As for my V35 it is too fancy to be used for anything LOL, a really great phone probably the best LG phone I have ever owned, just wish it could be rooted.
I actually like the G5 a bit, the screen is sharp and clear (could be brighter though) and talk about burn in, but it worked well for me and i really liked the infared blaster
The most noticeable difference is the size and the brightness of the OLED on the V30
I actually had a V30 that I leased through sprint on a promotional deal I paid $7 a month for the phone but i paid $15 a month for insurance, i had that for 18 months. either way the point is I've used both phones for awhile as well as a G6 for a little while in between (i was actually fine with that but my G6 crapped out (motherboard, same as my G4 before that) and there was that deal on the V30 it looks and works great
Because my last V30 was owned by sprint i didn't think about rooting but now I'm excited to see what this phone can do at its full potential
I don't recall any burn in issue with the V30, i didn't realise that was still an issue with OLED, besides i usually have my brightness set at 75% unless I'm watching a movie on my phone

Does anyone know what bands make up T-Mobiles 5G UC on newer devices and if LGs V60 is capable? Or maybe has it with Android 13 update? I traded in my LG to get a Google Pixel 7 Pro for free and am missing the audio features. I found a sealed new in box on eBay and have it coming in the mail just waiting. I find myself always drawn back to LG, it's more fluid than Samsungs I've used and different features draws me away from the Pixel back to it. I even have a Samsung S23 Ultra that is laying on my nightstand since I have the Pixel.
