Is a unlocked new D855 3 gb/32gb a good buy for $ 499? Planning to use it with Rogers.
[G3 General] Devhux:
I don't believe that will work on LTE in Canada.
[G3 General] imeem:
According to http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3-6294.php

[G3 General] Holmes108:
Rogers sells it off contact for 500, so depending on how reliable your seller is, you might just want to buy it from Rogers.

Edit: well Rogers has the 852, but same difference as far as i know.
[G3 General] Devhux:
I'd get the 852 from Rogers. From what I see on gsmarena, the d855 doesn't support Band 4 (1700MHz) which Rogers does use in some places. Not sure how widespread their 700MHz & 2600MHz spectrum is.
[G3 General] imeem:
I would be buying it from ncix, so it should be pretty reliable. I'm still in the early stages of deciding which phone is worth upgrading from a Nexus 4 and at what cost.

the d855 in particular interest me because it seems to have the most kernels/roms. Also, does the rogers verison have 2 gb of ram or 3 gb?
[G3 General] SickBeast:
3gb. There are plenty of roms for the d852.

I can't seem to find a KK kdz file. Does one exist?
[G3 General] tomd-87:
I've been looking in this thread and it doesn't look like it, but is it possible today to use a Rogers G3 with Wind?
[G3 General] Devhux:
Doesn't look like it from the gsmarena specs (it's missing 1700MHz HSPA support which wind uses)
[G3 General] kjwaugh:
there was never a d852 kk .kdz

If I recall, there was a kk .tot. If i can locate it I will post a link - you are probably going to find it before i do.
[G3 General] eyeLUVAndroid:
can some one please help to direct me where can I find stock kernel and ROM in case if some thing goes wrong when flashing custom kernel or ROM ?
[G3 General] SickBeast:
There is a way to do this, I have heard several reports of people being successful with it. You have to unlock the aws bands, there is a thread somewhere on XDA about it.
[G3 General] squall458:
I got the powermat thanks to you and ordered that back cover. How long did it take to receive your back cover from china? I asked for the white one. I hope he has it in stock.

So I recently had to retire my Nexus 6. I am looking for a solid phone in between the 300-400 price range while I wait for the new Nexus phone. Is the G3 Canadian model still a good contender, and if so, where is the best place to buy one? I considered the G4 and S6 but they all have their own issues which are unacceptable ( S6 has bad memory issues, G4 with touch screen).

Thanks
[G3 General] NFleck:
Hi. I dropped my lg g3 and it has strange lines and colours though the touchscreen still works fine. Im still under warranty and took it to wirelesswave where i bought it and thwy said to take it to bell or they can send it out. Theres not a scratch on the phone and no water damage and ive unrooted and factory defaulted it. Wondering what my chances of getting a fixed one would be. Dont want to send in for nothing.
[G3 General] caanda45:
Only way to find out is send it in, unfortunately.....Bell will pay the courier costs as it is under warranty...
[G3 General] messerchmidt:
EDIT: answered my own question

unfortunately, there is no powermat to qi adaptor that fools the phones circuitry.

going to grab a a power mat system off ebay or from factory direct.

Trying to root my 2nd LG G3 D852 and after successfully rooting the phone (I think), I pulled out the battery. Now I'm stuck on the splash screen and the LED is going from green to red. Any ideas on how to fix it? Factory reset doesn't seem to help.
[G3 General] caanda45:
If you can get into download mode, re tot the firmware. Pull the battery again, put it back in and plug in the phone while holding the volume up button gets you into download mode. If you can get it there they tot back to stock...i use this thread as my reference...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 ...and this one is a good video reference...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WgXuxDbmbc

Good luck, hope you can get it back to life..I have found it pretty good and forgiving if it does not work to get it back to life....

Is the G3 Canadian variant laggy? Right now Koodo is having a sale where the G3 and One M8 are 360 dollars outright. Not too bad of a deal.
[G3 General] bobola:
Deals not bad.

From a stock point of view.

Laggy not really.. Some minor stutter here and there.

But not butter smooth like my old G2.
[G3 General] squall458:
Anyone here get the PMA wireless charge feature to work? I got a PMA backcover from aliexpress and a powermat from factory direct. It doesnt work when I place the G3 on the powermat. NO CASE. Do I need to enable something in the settings?
[G3 General] balatrocdn:
I may have been the one who suggested you look at Ali and Factory Direct. I have no issues. There is nothing to turn on, it just works. Confirm the contacts are indeed lined up with the pins in back cover. I missed that the first time but otherwise very straightforward.
[G3 General] Xdiam:
Hi Guys,

I have LG G3 D851 ( T-Mobile ) with Wind .... I find reception a lot worse then Nexus 4, phone is always searching for network or going to Wind Away ...

Anyways ... I decided to switch to Bell ... and have a problem, I can't use DATA.

Phone is connected to "4G/LTE" full bars but I can't open any website.

APN settings are correct

I Tried Factory Reset couple times no go, test sim with Nexus 4 working fine.

Any ideas

Thx
[G3 General] lpstudio:
I have one from ali and it works but I bought 2 from ebay that didn't work. What I did was tape the sticker to the pins of the phone first to line it up and try it.
[G3 General] brar.arsh:
I called London, Toronto and Mississauga, all of them have no idea if they would get it or not.
[G3 General] Zb134:

If you have the phone now, reboot into bootloader by pressing Power + Volume up at the same time for few seconds.

Check for the info, if you dont understand, post a pic here.

Im in the store with it now.....that doesnt work.

Edit: demo version...wont let me do anything...asked for a password on about phone/software...i think i saw 10b though

Its nice, really light and feels good in hand. Problem is some idiot decided only to release the grey model...no white ones avail wtf is that?

I called rogers 5 minutes ago and they had 3 in stock at the store I called. I was wrong earlier about the price. Its $649 off contract. But the website says $179 on 2yr term(you save $420)...

Someone at rogers needs to check their math.
[G3 General] force70:
The store i went to had several charcol grey ones..i called 3 others about a white one and they had none at all lol.

Rogers is getting the white version but no eta..by then i may already have a note 4

[G3 General] force70:
Don't think theres root yet for the d852...you could try towel root or some of the d851 root methods on here but who knows what will happen. Although towel root either works or does nothing it seems.

I was told in this thread to check bootloader hold power and vol up for a few seconds and see what it says. I tried on the rogers demo model but all that is locked out.

This thread is losing steam! :crying:

I bought a Telus/Koodo D852 a few days ago, trying to find up-to-date info here on xda and I'm getting dizzy.

Came with 5.0.1 20f and there are 3 updates available, any issues with rooting, etc. if I update?

Phone is still stock.

Thanks.

EDIT: It seems everyone is still on 5.0.1
[G3 General] kjwaugh:
I use CM12.1

I went to CM early and have never looked back. I have simple needs and the phone works extremely well. I have never used the 5.01 version (locally provided) because I jumped to CM while still on KK. I don't know what your options are once you take the latestofficial updates. There are good d852 threads if you dig for them. The overwhelming majority of postings are US and Euro centric which although interesting, do not apply to our model - they tend to push our stuff to the bottom of the pile because of the sheer volume. Good Luck
[G3 General] samdman:
Appreciate the info.

Not an android modder at all, despite 3 (now 4 devices). I'll use the old Samsung S2X to train myself.

I should have double checked before I posted my question, the 3 updates are apps, no system updates yet.

More phone than I need, but walmart made me an offer I couldn't refuse!

[G3 General] Shawnki91:
Hi all,

been using AICP 5.1.1. ROM for while now on my D852 with ROGERS with no complaints. Just wondering if we are restricted to flashing D852 ROMS only or if we can flash the D850/D855 ROMS as well. I only ask seeing as on my Note 2, it was possible to flash for AT&T ROMS as well seeing as the internals were identical to the ROGERS variant.

Anyone have any good ROMs they could recommend? I have tried AICP, Euphoria and Blisspop: the latter two had issues with MMS that I didn't experience with AICP.

I thank you in advance!

I better stick to the D852/universal ROMs then. Do you have any suggestions of a good ROM for the D852?
[G3 General] Rm-rfstar:
just in case you still have this lag issue in google play music and google play store app. i found the cause to be that lastpass app was watching any app with a search field for possible reasons to app fill (this is a feature for filling in password fields. ) once i went in a told lastpass to not try and fill in any fields in both google play music and google play store., the ui response while scrolling is MUCH better.

I've heard of people using thermal paste to keep the temp down. At that point I would consider that a hardware warranty issue and send in for a replacement.

HI guys , I have checked around and have found some info but my question is I have a lg g3 d852 from Fido that I unlocked the AWS band to use on Wind. It works but signal strength is low which affects the data, it is real slow, speedtest is under 1 mbps. I was wondering if it is possible to flash a videotron/wind firmware and get the AWS band working properly? on this thread http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/quebec-lg-g3-d852g-videotron-t2970938 it says you can flash and D852 rom on to a Videotron d852g, so maybe it will work backwards.
[G3 General] Moose21:
Probably because Telus didn't order in enough stock to warrant a custom carrier image- they'd rather partner with BELL than Rogers, for obvious reasons.

I wiped a Koodo D852 and flashed the Rogers stock KK D85210b image, it works fine. They're literally the exact same hardware, side-by-side under the hood. A D852g/D850/D851 however are *not* the same. That's why they have different model numbers. An AWS baseband may install on a D852 but that doesn't mean you can expect good reception or signal- the AWS antenna isn't there.

[G3 General] Ziida:
Hi guys, quick question I wonder if you guys can help with...

So I picked up a second-hand unlocked Rogers LG G3 (d852) and from the best I could tell the short while I tested it, all seemed to be working great. That night I performed the mod to install the D852G Videotron package to allow for AWS use (I am on Mobilicity), the same way I did for my brother's G3 last week. Everything appeared to go great but now when I try to use the phone I will lose all cell signal almost immediately.

So what happens is the phone reads the sim and reports that it is connected to the network... sometimes I am able to make a quick call and sometimes not before signal drops to 0 and shortly after I am off the network entirely. The phone is acting as if it were blacklisted, but from all blacklist checks I have performed it is still clear IMEI!

I have been unable to return the phone back to stock rogers firmware so far (reversing the AWS conversion process), and am wondering if you guys have any other suggestions for what I can try? Thanks so much!
[G3 General] jonnyszt:
Koodo announce it during he summer
[G3 General] SaHiLzZ:
Mobilicity doesn't work with Blacklist system. So .. something else wrong. You need to move back to official firmware and test on rogers/bell/etc.
