I currently have the P8000 US version, and using it in Michigan. GPS is flawless on the p8000. With all the talk in the other P9000 thread about GPS flaws, can any of the P9000 US users chime in on the accuracy of this Unit in the United States? Particularly on AT&T network if possible.

So I just read and saw on line that the US Cellular version of the LG G6 is on $550 buy it out right. Would this version work with Verizon Wireless. It looks to have the same LTE bands. What would be the chance of buying and putting a Verizon sim in it and it works out the gate. Anyone have any ideas?

GSMarena doesn't currently list 3G bands for the US Cellular G6 (US997). However, I've seen the Verizon and US Cellular versions of phones differ on 3G bands before (see the Galaxy S7 USA, for example), so 3G might have problems if you just popped a Verizon SIM card into a US Cellular G6.
I'm wondering if there could be a similar method to the one that was discovered for the HTC 10 where you flash radio images from the Verizon variant onto another phone:

Is the us cellular version factory unlocked? It is the same model number as the unlocked version, us997. I'm looking to use on AT&T.
It looks like you have to pick up some kind of plan from them to get the $550 price. It's probably better to go the b&h route (or hope vzw does a mother's day week sale).
Update: Ended up buying a new us cellular us997 for cheap. Popped my straight talk/at&t sim in and it works flawlessly. I always use this site to check bands
https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/0Dlph6Y/lg-us997-g6-lte-a/united-states
I have used that site several times and its always been accurate. From what im seeing, the us cellular model supports all of the bands needed for verizon. It doesnt support CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rel. 0 but does support CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A. So if 3G is a major concern, I'd check and see which one is used in your area. I personally wouldn't care about the 3G considering the price difference of the USC model and the fact that all LTE and voice bands are supported. Hope this helps

I brought an international version from Amazon (Duo Sim) and have been having GPS issues intermittently with a few of my driving apps? Have anyone have any experiences getting support/repair services with the international version? It seems like the international version gets less support over in north america since it is not a NA model. much appreciated for any help

The LG G5 has problems with the GPS antena. Many threads here about people sending their devices for repairs. It's a known G5 problem.

I need root. Therefore, because, AFAIK, none of the US variants have unlockable bootloader, I'm planning to buy SM-G965F from clove.co.uk.
Does this variant have the best compatibility with T-Mobile USA? If not, which one does?
Has anyone already tested speeds while on TMO network?
Also, has root been confirmed? I've seen TWRP availability and a bunch of kernel mods, so that kinda suggests that root is not going to be a problem, but just wanted to confirm.

I have the Korean variant G965N and a thread with my speed experiences and connection experience so far.
Here is the link to the thread that clockedtouch is mentioning.
Currently rocking at Moto G3 and it's time for an upgrade. I really love everything about the Poco except for the spotty 4g lte in the us of a. I'm on Consumer Cellular which uses at&t and t mobile towers. I know that it has to do with the bands or whatever but I don't understand that stuff. I'm in MA so not sure if I'd get LTE or not. Could anyone tell me about their experience with the Poco in MA?Also I'm wondering how bad 3g really is like could I still use a gps or something or would it lag / be too inconsistent?
Any help would be cherished
I'm using a poco on At&t and only get LTE in some towns.
The 3g is fast enough for me to watch youtube and twitch streams fine tbh.
If you can, strecht to oneplus 6

Hi all,
I bought a spare Z5 Compact recently, it is a UK model with stock firmware "Customized UK" (1298-5497). I'm living in Germany and already have a German Telekom version of the Z5C, which is running the latest LOS 17.1. This phone is utilizing GPS, GLONASS and BDS satellite systems without any issues. With the UK model of the phone however, I am only able to get signals of GPS and GLONASS satellites.
I've tried flashing different ROMs, including a German Telekom stock ROM, but it did not solve the GNSS issue. Both phones are E5823 and use the same baseband version. According to the serial no., the UK phone should even be "newer" than the German one.
So question is - could this really be a phone model with different hardware, or will it be possible to make the phone utilize BDS satellites by software/firmware modifications?
Any advise or suggestions are much welcome!
Cheers,
r.
As well as there are devices that are using different 4G (LTE) bands, there might be devices that uses different gps bands.
But that's a guess, though.
