G2 means nothing to me. We are close to a bootunlock. And what can you do with a unlocked bootloader anyhow. No ROMs or kernels really. Your just gonna be waiting for a boot loader unlock for development to get going anyways. With the exchange rate and higher cost of the tmo version you are paying $200 more than here. Do what makes you feel special though.
[G3 General] force70:
You didnt read my post....i said i wouldnt buy a tmo version..id rather have an f460.in that regard i would agree the tmo device would not be worth the extra $.

And "do what makes u feel special"

Really lol?

Btw the don cherry comment was priceless
[G3 General] Turbojugend:
You people act surprised about future shop or best buy not carrying it. If I remember correctly, north America makes up less than 10% of the worldwide market, so I am sure them not stocking the device isn't hurting LG. Those shops don't carry a lot of stuff they should.
[G3 General] sonspot:
So true on all counts. Our problem is with our carriers, people seem to be afraid of.
[G3 General] Turbojugend:
If not one Futureshop or Best Buy is carrying it, then it has something to do with them most likely. They wouldn't still be getting it, if they didn't have them available yet.

I didn't know there was the 16GB/2GB RAM model in Canada.
[G3 General] sonspot:
I really don't think there is one but I could be wrong. Rogers only have the one option in colour and storage size... Something doesn't seem right to me, bb and ft not carrying a flagship phone when was the last time anyone hear of this?
[G3 General] BloodyMassacre:
Does anyone have camera apk for d852?
[G3 General] n3m37h:
I could be wrong, or may not be an option yet. Bell/Rogers are both useless.

Bloody - the camera.apk from the other variations will work on our devices too. I do suspect that roms (when we get an unlocked bootloader) from the AT&T/Sprint phone (850/1 I believe) will work on our phones (852) This was the case for my GSIII cant see why exact same hardware.
[G3 General] TKG26:
Had my G3 appart just now noticed the model number up by the 4 pins is D850 i am with rogers. I thought it was supposed to be a D852? Is there a comparison chart anywhere to compare the dozen G3 variants?

Wireless charging

Which version of LG Circle Case does Rogers & Bell sell, is it like the AT&T one with NFC & PMA charging pins & plain cover like the stock LG cover?

I want the PMA chraging case as I think that's the only way to enable wireless charging with Rogers G3 but cannot find it anywhere.

[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Ahhhh... A candy fan. Glad you like it. You'll be happy to know 3 of us on the team have a g3 so as soon as we get a bootloader unlock and aosp stablized there will most definitely be a candy release.

Awesome. Can't wait.
[G3 General] n3m37h:
Has anyone gotten a software update yet? Cuz we are on 10b and they are on 10j now do believe or is this just for the international version? Pretty sure bell and rogers will be lazy as hell and give us updates in 2 years
[G3 General] Jarrick:
The more G3 threads I read on Xda the more disheartened I am getting because I feel that:

1: Our Canadian phones will not see software updates like the international versions are getting.

2: PMA charging will never work as well as Qi charging.

3: Our D852 phones won't get as much developer support due to it being different than the rest, so we may never see the bootloader unlocked.

Feel free to add to this list as you see fit, but I hope that I am proved wrong on all these points.

You're right and it being iffy, I called rogers asking for a solution, they pretty much said they won't offer any wireless charging solutions, you could try some of the options thats out there but be warned if you mention anything about wireless charging your warranty is gone..

You can do it to keep your old contract for me the same as mine 3 gig data and unlimited cost me 60$ and now the same thing will cost you 75$ less one gig ... This is only if you want to pay minimum for the phone wish is now 99$ ..I bought the phone the first week of release and it was 149$ ...thats why I decide to pay 350 for it and keep my old contract [emoji4]

From Lg G3 "the beast"
[G3 General] n3m37h:
AT&T/Sprint hardware is usually the same, this was the case for my GSIII and it even had different hardware numbers. The only phones which are different are overseas (int, korean, etc) so I wouldn't get too upset. As for OTA's I don't expect to see any for a long time cuz canadian phone companies are lazy asses and want you to pay and arm and a leg for everything (like the touch tone service for land lines which was supposed to stop prior to 1990 but still show up on your bill)
[G3 General] peoples_flip:
Just got my free quick circle case today!

It came via FedEx... Thanks OP!
[G3 General] Jarrick:
My circle case arrived yesterday. I had purchased a generic circle case prior to this which required the phone back to be removed before using. The LG case can be used with the phone back left on which adds a bit more protection to the phone.

Hello guys

Im new in the forum and LG3 world

I brought LG3 D852 from videotron and I unlocked it to work with my Fido number.

I got problem with the LTE, I have always when i restart the phone to go on 3845#*852#-->WCDMA only--Modem settings --> Ram selection --> choose automatic.

Is anyone experiencing the same problem? has the same phone with fido and found permanent solution?

In order to install custom Roms the creator has to get the ROM bumped by the bumped people.

Bumped is an exploit there will be using to install anything from kernel to roms

[G3 General] jainanshal:
Firstly, thanks for this thread. It'll be good to have all Canada G3 info under one roof.

I am certainly not very enthusiastic about Canadian carriers G3 launch as the price on a 2 yr contract will be around $150-200 initial plus about $80/month plan, otherwise outright price will be around $700 I guess. Both the options make it a lot more expensive here when you compare it to $600 outright price in US.

What's the frequency required for Canadian carriers in general for hsdpa & lte? I think for lte its 700, 1700/2100 & 2600, is that correct?
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Its $599 from sprint which is a little over $650, and its about $650 from at%t which brings it to over $700 after exchange. So I'd be happy with $699 outright from Canadian carriers. Its almost $1000 with the exchange rate in the UK. So I see no reason for you to complain. Its a flagship. Still cheaper than a crappy galaxy.

[G3 General] ugslick:
Thanks for this

I've been wondering for a while. It's tough to find all the bands and reference them with each carrier. Loool. I want the G3 for sure, I'm trying to buy one unlocked for as cheap as possible, so the T-mobile one looks like the way to go (thank you again). I'm currently with Wind in Ottawa, I really want Wind to do well, their prices are good for me, but I do want more coverage. I've been thinking of switching to something like Virgin for a while but it really all depends on the plan and phone availability. I'm not too well versed on current offers, but pre-paid sounds like it'll be a cheaper option more tailored to my needs (unlimited texts, unlim inbound calls, 100 outgoing minutes, and preferably 1-6gb of data as cheap as possible). I'm still not 100% sure if I'll end up getting one from Bell or Rogers, or an unlocked version online (T-mobile) and then just get a plan. Some advice would be great.
[G3 General] force70:
Go with a carrier that has LTE..having a flagship phone on an ancient network without lte is like having a ferrari and driving around in first gear lol.

Wind does really suck...most ppl i know who were with them or got lured in by cheap prices always go back to rogers or bell or their little sisters
