According to item it's the international version which is identical to uk version apparently
[G3 General] psp888:
Where on Amazon Germany site does it say free wireless charger?
[G3 General] krisbi:
Here

http://www.amazon.de/gp/feature.htm...Q&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_p=499368027&pf_rd_i=LG g3
[G3 General] jbak98:
Awesome Thankyou Krisbi

I had already ordered a 32gb one from amazon.de but I have now cancelled it and ordered it with the wireless charger so thanking you!!

EUR 609.80 all in
[G3 General] ziggazee:
I want to order it too.. What's amazon.de refund policy like? I want the gold one but not sure if it will look tacky.
[G3 General] jbak98:
Well they didn't charge my credit card on the first order that I cancelled, so I presume they won't till they actually have them in stock. The refund policy should be the same as Amazon UK I would imagine?

Unfortunately you would have the increased shipping costs to get it back to them if you didn't like it though.
[G3 General] ziggazee:
I've just placed my order. Really can't go wrong on this deal with a free wireless charger. Would probably be better of selling it than getting a refund it if I'm not happy with it. 32gb version with a wireless charger would cost significantly more in this country. What colour have you gone for?
[G3 General] jbak98:
I have gone for the black version. Something I have noticed on my order is that the phone is now coming out at 604.03 Euros instead of 599 not that I am really complaining, same on yours ziggazee?
[G3 General] ziggazee:
Yea that's what it says on my email. My email hasn't translated as I'm viewing it on my phone but I'm guessing that is the price including delivery? The total is 609.80 as we have to pay delivery cost for the wireless charger as well. So around £500 same price as a 16 with no wireless charger in this country.
[G3 General] kinnyfaifai:
Picked mine up yesterday from CPW....one word: Awesome!
[G3 General] dex.:
My 32GB Black pre-order from Amazon.de to the UK now shows as dispatched at 11:15 this morning, via Citylink :)

No news on the wireless charger yet though.
[G3 General] Protagoras:
You lucky bastard :)

Still no news from mine...
[G3 General] dex.:
Have been refreshing the site all morning and it only updated around the same time the email came through 15 minutes ago, so there is some lag with them updating their system.
[G3 General] Protagoras:
Actually I talked too quickly, just checked and "Dispatched" indeed (I guess that's what "Versandt" stands for :) )

Estimated delivery date Wednesday 2nd.

And the wireless charger doesn't seem to be part of the package.

EDIT: And now it's "Auf dem Transportweg", on its way I guess :)
[G3 General] GordonFreemanK:
With LG, every 32GB G3 bought comes with a FREE German lesson!

LG

Leben'st Gut.
[G3 General] johnwx:
Mine on route as well
[G3 General] Enddo:
im very very curious to see how the lag is after you switch to ART
[G3 General] daleski75:
I tried switching to art and hardly noticed any improvement with the micro-lag so went back to dalvik as some of my banking apps refused to work on art.
[G3 General] Bilhouse:
Mine is dispatched from Amazon.de via City Link too. Will be here on Wednesday. Hopefully my accessories arrive by then.
[G3 General] TheKrow:
Just rang CPW, they're now telling me they're not expecting delivery to the warehouse until 2nd July and I will probably get it by the 5th!

Why the hell is there such a delay? I pre-ordered and now it doesn't look like I'm getting it until next weekend :(
[G3 General] ant78:
Got mine delivered from 3 today. I know 3 have had bad press in the past but over the past 2 years they have been excellent with me. Ill never use CPW again
[G3 General] riz157:
Ordered mine yesterday and to be delivered tomorrow. Not as excited as I used to be about getting a new phone, must be waking up and disconnecting from the smartphone world!:o
[G3 General] jaythenut:
did you pay out right or contract because my cpw will not sell off contract and ive phoned 4 of them
[G3 General] kinnyfaifai:
I bought off contract at bluewater. Had to drive there for it as the closest stores to me didn't have any stock.
[G3 General] jaythenut:
cool bluewater is not to far for me to

did you try lakeside at all
[G3 General] kinnyfaifai:
Didn't try Lakeside. Hadn't even thought of going there. Good luck finding one! I'd check CPW stock checker before you head out. ?
[G3 General] stinkypoo:
Yes and it's now been despatched for tomorrow delivery works out at around £261 after quidco lol
[G3 General] LBTaylor1984:
Funny enough I'm in Brentwood, so did you phone CPW in Bluewater before going there or just turn up? i know sometimes there a bit funny about simfree phones.
[G3 General] kinnyfaifai:
I didn't call ahead. Just headed there and the guy was more than happy to take my money...then try sell me everything else under the sun.

Side note. The store upstairs had a real demo unit. The store downstairs didn't have any demo units. I got mine in the store downstairs.
[G3 General] nobnut:
That's weird. I bought mine on launch day from my local CPW.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Blimey I know peeps are moaning about battery life on here....but standby time is amazing!!!....virtually loses nothing when left overnight!
[G3 General] shingers5:
yea battery in use on any phone will drain rather quickly as expected but in standby its all good
[G3 General] jutley:
Yep got mine today this deal has to be the best I have got.
[G3 General] LBTaylor1984:
Thank you for the heads up, I'm highly interested in picking one up, the demo is something I need to try. Unfortunately I suffer from wanting the next in gadget and I dunno if I NEED this or I WANT this
[G3 General] EddyOS:
Had a little look at the demo handset in the Three store, Tunbridge Wells on Saturday, it's awesome! Would I replace my M8 with it, I don't know, but the screen is phenomenal and the clarity is amazing. I might wait and see if an 805 variant surfaces and then see how I feel about it...
[G3 General] Batfink33:
I think the S801 is at its limit with pushing the resolution in this phone. Its not at all bad but you can see it struggling to draw the screen during animation transition sometimes. The S805 would have/will be great in it. I've turned transition animations off with the G3 and it performs very well now but you shouldn't have to.
[G3 General] radicalisto:
I'm sat here now with my refresh plan open and ready to finalise. DO I drop my M8 for the G3... so so tempted right now..
[G3 General] wase4711:
the easiest way to decide is if you feel the G3 is a major upgrade to the M8..Not sure if I think it is, but to each his own..
[G3 General] dazkool:
Mine's en-route too with Citylink - but no wireless charger yet!
[G3 General] radicalisto:
Just ordered it, will be here first thing in the morning :victory:
[G3 General] wase4711:
congrats and enjoy!
[G3 General] meowmeowm:
Can someone confirm for me that their Quick circle case from carphone warehouse doesnt have the inbuilt qi pad on it my one doesnt but the phone backpate does that doesnt seem right to me... :confused:
[G3 General] Bilhouse:
Thats what i'm doing mate. Don't look back. What does the M8 offer over the G3 apart from Boomsound? What does the G3 offer over the M8? 2K screen, better camera and removable battery and in my opinion a better UI.
[G3 General] radicalisto:
Exactly the conclusion I came too. So I ordered it. I have 14days If i decide I don't like it, but I reckon I'll get on OK with it.
[G3 General] Protagoras:
Boomsound is really nice though...
[G3 General] radicalisto:
It's been nice since the M7, but I use headphones a lot more, and Viper can be tweaked similar for headphone use.
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Yep. Mine doesn't have it either. I was under the impression it would. Hmmm. Have CPW shortchanged us?
[G3 General] ant78:
Im new to the g3, does it come as standard wireless charging ?
[G3 General] meowmeowm:
Im thinking so i dont want to have to buy another one witht the qi pad...

Might have to come down to trying to take the one off my back cover one day...
[G3 General] jhericurls:
Did you get the snap on case or just slot in case?

Edit: Ok, looks like you do have the slot in cases as the snap-on one aren't available yet

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/lg-g3-quickcircle-snap-on-case-shine-gold-p45817.htm

The slot-in cases don't have wireless connectors in the back as the back cover already have connectors.
[G3 General] meowmeowm:
I think your right this version the back cover should stay on for i just tried it and it worked ok crisis averted :D
[G3 General] t0ska:
Amazon.de 32gb LG G3 loaded on the van and due for delivery between 11:26 and 13:26 :D
[G3 General] radicalisto:
Got the delivery msg this morning from UK mail then got a msg about 5mins ago saying there's a delay and they may not be able to deliver today. Hurray for stupid UK courier firms.
[G3 General] Protagoras:
Between 11:35 and 13:35 for me, I wonder why you're getting yours before me :silly:
[G3 General] jutley:
I got mine yesterday free lg g3 gold £21pm £220 cashback and £30 quidco cashback it's all good.
[G3 General] dazkool:
Gah! Mine's coming via City Link.... between 15:15 and 17:15!

I can't wait that bloody long!!!! :crying::(
[G3 General] Protagoras:
Well CityLink is known to have errors on their estimate delivery dates... So it could be even later :(

(Mine is City-Link too...)
[G3 General] t0ska:
11:48 and still nothing, not that i am being impatient or anything..... just as well i am working from home today :D
[G3 General] radicalisto:
UKMAIL aren't delivering mine til tomorrow now.. Some mess up at the depot :( bah.
[G3 General] radicalisto:
On the plus side, since development hasn't taken off just yet, means I'm not missing too much (except the latest gadget and I want it NOW!! haha)
[G3 General] Protagoras:
Just got mine from Amazon.de :victory::victory::victory:

First impression: wow

More detailed review coming soon :)

EDIT: More first impressions after 30 minutes playing with it. Still wow :)

* The screen is simply awesome. Very bright, very responsive. Brightness around 60-70% seems to be a sweet spot for me.

* A little bit too big for my hand (I'm used to my Galaxy S4) but I'll get used to it

* Feels great in the hands despite its size - the backplate is simply gorgeous, to look and to touch.

* Love the buttons on the back

* I have to admit there is little bit of lag here or there - coming from iOS or Stock Android, you'll notice it. Less lag than TouchWiz though. A lot less.

* I didn't see any "white halo" around text, that didn't strike me at all. Will do more testing.

* Not a big fan of the UI (I'm all for Stock Android) so I'll probably put an AOSP custom rom as soon as it becomes available. But there's a LOT less bloatware than Samsung, I have to say. Nothing feels intrusive or "in your face".

* Did I mention how awesome this screen is?
[G3 General] ziggazee:
Got an email confirming my gold one will be dispatched on the 4th from amazon.de.
[G3 General] albie999:
Where did you get that deal from?
[G3 General] dazkool:
Yahooooooo! It's here!!!

OMG.... it's so light. And big!

Not switched it on yet... my new sim card from EE is supposed to arrive tomorrow.
[G3 General] jhericurls:
Which handset have you come from?

Deal over, was price mistake.

If anyone fancys splashing some extra cash, Handtec has the 3/32 in stock for £510.
[G3 General] Protagoras:
Samsung Galaxy S4 (I also played briefly with a LG G2)
[G3 General] Spewy1:

Sh*t! Only £30 more than I paid for the 16gb. I thought it would be at least £100 more.

Shouldn't have been so impatient !
[G3 General] Bilhouse:
Got mine from Amazon.de this morning. Really nice build quality for a plastic device. The screen is beautiful but the jump to 2K isn't as big as the jump to 1080p from 720p, but it is still noticeable. The screen looks like it is painted.

Speaker is impressive. Camera has taken some really nice shots and its autofocus is incredibly quick. The UI is great. Best UI outside of stock Android.

Two small negatives so far :

1) You can't set a manual location for the weather & time smart notice widget and have it show the weather. Has anyone managed to get it to work without turning GPS on? On the G2's weather widget you could.

2) There is no search on server option within the email app. It will only search within the email it's loaded on the phone. They really should add that option.
[G3 General] t0ska:
My Amazon.de 32GB arrived just after 12, lots of tinkering so far, very happy with everything apart from the earpiece seems a little tinny to me (but nothing major). Just switching to ART at the moment :) Nova launcher installed and some bloat removed. Big but not too big, can see me using my Nexus 7 a lot less now. XtremeGuard Glass Protector on, Spigen Ultrafit Case. All in all a happy chappy.

Screen is awesome but I can see why a few have said it is a little too sharp (especially the text), fine for me though :D
[G3 General] jutley:
It was a misprice on hot uk deals.
[G3 General] wyase9:
Got mine setup last night,

Have to say the size is great. Screen has fine brightness and clarity, no issues there. Battery seems ok for now, overnight, it went down about 8-9 percent which was good, obviously the drain on screen time is the biggest factor, but we all know and accept that. Nearly all apps work straight off, not issue with resolution, virtually all of them went to SD card as well, and my fears of 16GB being too small were a non-issue in the end, I have acres of space on the phone after all my apps have been loaded (I am not a big gamer, but even if I was, I dont think 16GB internal memory would be a problem). Phone is very light, a lady knocked it out of my hand this morning on the crowded tube as I was reading the news on the metro app....luckily I caught it, phone case should be here tomorrow !! No lag either.

So far, so good.

Cannot find the built in video app icon anywhere....seems strange. I can download another video app, but I wanted to trial the built in one. When I find videos in the gallery, the app plays it, but I cannot find the icon anywhere.....anyone else had this problem ?
[G3 General] kinnyfaifai:
That's a good spot. I didn't notice as I installed KMPlayer to give that a go. KMP works well, but the navigation is a bit flakey. As for the stock video player, the first thing I tested was an anime ep with subtitles in a mkv container. Subtitles wouldn't load.
[G3 General] bobsie41:
After several days of umming and arring I have just taken the plunge and ordered from the carphone warehouse (It doesn't normally take me this long). I really hope that this an obvious upgrade from my G Pro 2 (5.9inch screen 3gb ram) which is now on ebay. :eek:

From being an avid HTC user, I have now really taken to LG devices. Since January this year, I have had a G2 a G Pro 2 and now a G3. :rolleyes:
[G3 General] Kev600:
Be Warned - No 4G on O2 and Vodafone for ALL Korean models - ie ALL 32gb models

Hey all,

Couldn't see a previous post on this, so here goes;

There's sufficient evidence to suggest that if you're going to get a 32gb handset - or use a supplier that's selling an imported handset from Korea; then you will NOT be able to use 4G in the UK if you are on O2 or Vodafone! [Permanently] :eek:

This is due to O2 and Vodafone using LTE800, which is not supported by the Korean handsets!

EE and Three should be fine because they use a higher frequency bandwidth.

From what I can see, some sellers are using International specs, incorrectly showing support for LTE800! :rolleyes:

Would love to be proven wrong from an O2 or Vodafone user though, who has used 4G/LTE on a 32gb model! :good:
[G3 General] bobsie41:
I have a G Pro 2 foreign import which I was happily using on EE 4G. After owning it for a week, I received a software upgrade which disabled my 4g. It could be turned back on in the service settings menu but would disappear on reboot.
[G3 General] Kev600:
EE uses LTE1800 (Which is shared with Korea) and LTE2600 , so I wouldn't expect you to have issues.

As I understand it, the issue is hardware related, not software!

LTE800 is simply not available - and won't be in the services menu!

[Just like the primary GSM frequencies cannot be added by software]

Again, someone please prove me wrong! :)
[G3 General] radicalisto:
Mine too! After UKMAIL telling me it wouldn't come til tomorrow it came about 6pm! - Just about to crack it open and have a looksy :victory:
[G3 General] bobsie41:
Mine was from Taiwan
[G3 General] Kev600:
Taiwan also use LTE1800 mate, same as EE.

Not relevant to my point/concern about LTE800, as used by O2 and Vodafone.
[G3 General] ASD007:
Now i'm worried, so will the 32GB LG G3 from Amazon.de work on 4G vodafone in the uk????!!!!!!!:eek:
[G3 General] shingers5:
Well when I mentioned this I was flamed lol. So I said wait till they arrive. I also said that models from amazon.de might be restricted but again I got flamed. All you can do is try and find out bud and let us know
[G3 General] Kev600:
The seller on Amazon.de was selling imported handsets from Korea - It WILL be a Korean model!

If the research is correct, then I'm afraid you won't be able to use 4G! :( [Unless you switch to EE or Three!]

I'm gagging to find out though, because I want a 32GB G3 and I'm on O2!
[G3 General] Protagoras:
No, the one I got from Amazon.de was from Amazon, not from the Amazon marketplace. It's a european 32GB model (D855) that works like a charm with UK LTE.

Do not worry, it will work in the UK.
[G3 General] turt:
Of course it will. They are talking about the F400 model from Korea whereas yours is a D855 from Europe. Two different devices.
[G3 General] ASD007:
But the handset I ordered was sold by Amazon, not another seller, so it should not be imported, its a European model 100%. If it doesn't work I will just return it back for a refund.
[G3 General] turt:
Don't worry, just read my post above. I have received one from amazon.de so I can confirm it's a 100% European model with 4G enabled on all frequency bands (including 800MHz)
[G3 General] wyase9:

Now you have me worried... I bought my G3 from CPW, so it is the normal 16gb European model. . I am on Tesco mobile which uses o2 signal. I haven't been able to get 4g yet, although my sim, location and tariff are all fine for it, as it was in my old m7. When I go into the mobile network settings, all I can pick are gsm/wcdma..... There are no options for lte. Tesco didn't help when I called them today either.... [emoji47]
[G3 General] radicalisto:
Can someone post what the stock DPI is on the G3 ? I changed mine.. now half my apps are crashing...
[G3 General] bobsie41:
I didn't come here to start an argument with you :rolleyes: you have a strange attitude.

I was just stating another fact which may well prove relevant to people using imported devices and I don't think I will be your mate anytime soon, you don't appear to be my type. ;)
[G3 General] Kev600:
That's encouraging. I understood that all current 32gb models were Korean imports! Are you on O2 or vodafone?

Cheers, got it sorted. Was 650.. Crazy DPI max I'm used to as stock is 480.. And I normally drop it to 400.

For those who wanna change DPI don't do it on the stock launcher.. Apps stop working. Use Nova lol.
[G3 General] Kev600:
I'm sorry my post appears to have offended you. But your interpretation of what I wrote is not the intended result.

We're obviously talking at cross purposes and someone may indeed find your contribution useful!

Really ?that sucks ! By the way what dpi are you running now, 400?
[G3 General] radicalisto:
Went back to 650 as I'm using stock, will switch to Nova later and pimp it out a bit. But probably would say 420 is the absolute min you could go to without it having an impact on the size

Ok thanks for the info.I'm used to running 380dpi on my note 3

How come you got 62.39 euros off?

[G3 General] radicalisto:
In all honesty, they're both close. Both sharp and clean cut. But due to the PPI and the resolution of the G3 it does beat it. To the naked eye, there isn't much of a difference since both are LCD
[G3 General] radicalisto:
Just checked also have 10A assumed this would have O2 firmware on it.. But it appears not to have
[G3 General] Baccer:
both models at amazon.de are D855 (european models) and on the box are the following frequencies: LTE 700/800/900/1800/2100/2300/2600

so it should work fine
[G3 General] wyase9:
OK, so I have the normal UK sold sim free 16gb version, bought from cpw. I have my Tesco sim inside which achieved great 4g on my M7. However, on this G3, I cannot get the LTE options... Any idea why?
