Guys is there anywhere online where I can buy d858 circle case?
[G3 General] voom:
Ok, what I thought was that the China-version had a different model-number alltogether, even though the hardware is identical.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

You can use the D855 circle-case as long as you take the one without wireless-charging that does not replace the backcover, but snaps onto the original backcover.
[G3 General] flueterflam:
Do you mean 960MHz?? The installed app I have to change CPU frequencies maxes out at 2457MHz... Seems like 9600Mhz (if it is even supported...) would be much worse at saving battery life than 2457 or 960. I wanted to check that maybe you made a typo with an extra 0?

By the way, if 960MHz was what you meant...have you noticed any issues running apps because of dropping the speed that much?

If you install "Lux Auto Brightness" app, then you open the app and there's a slider. Immediately under the slider, there are lines on the left side and right side. It says "zero" at the middle. To the left of "zero" it says "sub-zero". To the right of "zero", it says "backlight". If you install the app, you simply open it up and you will have no trouble understanding. It goes from -100% (basically off) to +100% (basically the normal 100%). Everything in the negative range essentially reduces the brightness even more than you can with the normal brightness slider in the OS (although, if a custom rom ever actually comes to our devices, the OS brightness may be more similar to Lux's capabilities).

I have noticed that the normal 0 (minimum) brightness is still quite bright on my D858HK at night and even mornings and evenings or indoors during the daytime. I set mine down to -45% during those times Set it to -15% if I'm indoors during the daytime. Outside with the sun out, I still need it to be 40-50%.

I m using stock lollipop rom, yes it us rooted.

Google iroot, and just run .bat file make sure ur developer mode is on.

I have not flash any recovery, as i am not sure if dual sim lg g3 has any custom roms.
[G3 General] waqasr:
Yaar I am still stuck on 4.4.2 each time I check for update it keeps saying you

are on latest version. Did you manually update your to lollipop or you got

OTA update?

Another member Umer Tariq from Khi suggested the flash tool to manually

update the phone and I am thinking about going that route.
[G3 General] waqasr:
FYi

I just rooted my LG G3 D858HK using the following one click method!!

I was on Android 4.4.2

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951

I lowered my min & max frequency using SetCPU to test if it helps the battery or not.

Next test is probably going to be lowering the screen resolution to 1080p!!
[G3 General] bilal1947:
Yes, follow n upgrade, but compare your battery life, may be your better on kitkat.

Attached is my battery life, once charged.
[G3 General] waqasr:
Bro my battery life is very good on KK, I get full day with heavy use and a day and a half with

moderate use. I have experienced better battery life on KK than lollipop even on my last

phone which was HTC One M7 that is why I am reluctant to upgrade because battery life

is most important to me. It is very strange since battery life is supposed to be better on L.
[G3 General] bilal1947:
[MENTION=3210159]waqasr[/MENTION] better to stay on kk if battery is important.
[G3 General] waqasr:
Yaar another reason to upgrade is also to get the latest firmware which probably will come

with V20d. Some times my phone doesn't charge and some times the sound for no reason goes

so low that I can't hear my whatsApp voice msgs only a reboot resolves this. I am thinking the

new firmware might help to fix these bugs/errors.

just bought a new d858hk from dubai, no lollipop

Hey guys, I recently purchased a new G3 dual sim 858HK from dubai. The phone is still running on kitkat 4.4.2. Unfortunately theres no update of lollipop (OTA) on the phone yet. Everytime I check it seems to give the same message that you are running the latest OS etc. Now I have been reading around and found out that a lot of people haven't received the OTA update to lollipop yet, but have flashed their phones manually. I am aware of the method of flashing. But I have the following concerns and I would appreciate if someone would be able to address them.

1. Will we ever be able to get a lollipop update OTA for this variant?

2. If we don't flash our phones to lollipop, will we also be deprived of android M (OTA) update, assuming there will be one?

3. If I do flash my phone manually will I receive future updates OTA or do I always have to manually flash my phone for updates.

4. What improvements can I expect to see as per your experiences from the upgradation to lollipop. (Performance, battery, etc) and if its worthit, or should I simply wait. What do I lose by not updating.

Woukd really appreciate if anyone of you can answer these points.:)
[G3 General] Akram.:
Where did you by D858HK in Dubai? I am from Abu Dhabi and would like one. How much did you pay?

1. I doubt since you are not HK Region

2. Updates will be available manually, and its easy to manually flash

3. Manually

4. New update means new improvements as per manufacturer, so it is always better to update.
[G3 General] alonewaseem:
Bilal, is dual-sim working on lollipop? There is no lollipop stock rom for this phone as yet so how come you get the stock lollipop on this phone (D858)

Please do mention if there are any glitches and problems with lollipop rom you are using.

best regards,

mustafa
[G3 General] ashtayed:
I ordered mine from an online website (buymobile dot ae).

But what you said regarding HK region. I don't think that stands true, as my official package label with the bar code and model no. details along with IMEI also mentions DUBAI as the designated market. Meaning, this phone was officially shipped and was meant for Dubai market. So region is not the issue.

Also, even assuming it is for HK region, since when has that ever stopped OTA updates being pushed on the phone, regardless of whereever the phone or the user may be. I have received updates for my other phones in different countries as I travel often. OTA updates are pushed based on IMEI regardless of current location.

Therefore it is quite peculiar if 858hk which is a common dual sim Intl. variant is never able to receive OTA updates.
[G3 General] Akram.:
I was not sure, since HK model is meant for Hongkong. Is there Arabic keyboard by Default.?

Anyway can you tell me if you manage to get the quick circle case?
[G3 General] ashtayed:
No I haven't bought the quick circle case as yet. Not really interested in getting that, I prefer a bumper case. But quick circle case is the most easily available cover for g3. You can look for it online as well as any market.

Also, no the default keyboard language was English, as it normally is, but Arabic keyboard is present in the settings. I am still in doubt whether there will be OTA lollipop updates for this phone and further updates also. I have the v10f software running on it.
[G3 General] Akram.:
I just did some quick search here in local market. The G3 is no where to find let alone the dual sim active version. So the dual sim active function is working well right.? I contacted the website you told, he told he dont have stock, will have it tomorrow. So you are saying, the dual sim version released officially in UAE is D858HK?
[G3 General] bilal1947:
[MENTION=3558974]alonewaseem[/MENTION] [MENTION=5595772]Akram.[/MENTION]

I have flash manually using lg flash toolz, drivers, and firmware.

Yes dual sim is absolutely fine, since it is stock, no issues.. except a little poor battery timings as compare to stock kitkat.

On gsmarena.com the method is stated... by a user name Omer, also google it you will find it.

region doesn't really matter as long as it not locked, i guess. Arabic wasnt default but you can change it to arabic though.
[G3 General] ashtayed:
G3 dual sim version is available in a lot of online stores based in Dubai. There are a few others selling it too but for different prices. I chose this particular site because of their customer support and they told me they provide one year warranty for the phone. And so far all the online stores I have checked are providing the same D858HK dual sim variant. Once you buy it you can check the official label on the box also, it will have 'Dubai' mentioned on it. So I am pretty sure this is the officially launched dual sim variant for the UAE. The dual sims are on dual stand-by mode as the LG has prescribed the function to be.
[G3 General] Akram.:
What? I am buying because the D858HK is dual sim dual active as said in this website.

http://androidforums.com/threads/best-dual-sim-android-phone.73649/page-78

So can you test this please? Do you need to activate call forwarding function to receive call simultaneosly on either sims? Can u share a screenshot of SIM Manager screen?

Can anyone else confirm if D858HK is dual sim dual standby?

If yes, is there any LG phone with dual sim dual active?
[G3 General] ashtayed:
Is it the official stock lollipop that was released for this 858hk model? and can we expect it to be pushed OTA?

Also once I manually flash it, will I receive future OTA updates, or will that option will forever be gone and only manual updates are possible?

Are there any lags or heating issues on lollipop 5.0.1? compared to kitkat.

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

Yes I can confirm that it is dual-sim active. You can check gsmarena for confirmation. I can only receive one call at a time. The forum you posted the link to is misleading. If you read further on in the following pages, they clarify what a dual-sim full active function is, and as of right now I don't know of any flagship device that is offering this dual-sim active service. Though there are a few huawei and lenovo devices that I have heard are providing this function.

[G3 General] Drug_Store:
Just to clarify... yes, dual sim works. one call at a time. if you´re receiving a call on sim1, sim2 will be busy, and the other way around.

Quick Circle cover also works, only wireless recharge doesn´t.

Hey guys. Quick question. I have an idea.. I saw this thread: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-d857-to-d858hk-g3-dual-sim-google-t2906602 . Can`t we make the same thing to transform our D858HK in D855 ? I know that we will loose the dual sim option, but we can install custom roms from D855, theoretical. Or, the difference between this two models are the dual sim, the ram and the internal memory, can`t we take the drivers from our rom ant put them in the D855 roms? To make our custom rom?
[G3 General] mexnoob:
I can confirm that the dual sim work's on Lollipop ?, I have the impression that the battery life is not as good as Kitkat.

BTW I flash de rom manually, it seems that there is not Ota upgrade, (at least in the 2 d858hk we have in the office)

Bro can you please explain what is LG Tweak? also how did you install Xposed frame work?

I used to flash Xposed frame work in custom recovery which I don't have installed on my

current rooted KK. If I am not mistake in order to install Xposed you have to flash one zip

file and then install Xposed APK.

Please also let me know which apps you are using in Xposed.

Thanks
[G3 General] bilal1947:
[MENTION=3210159]waqasr[/MENTION] Lg tweaks is a summarized tweaks for lg g3 specific, but u need xposed for that.

You can download lg g3 twaeks it from playstore.

If ur on kk, just google xposed for kk, and install it as normal apk.

For lollipop, u need to flash.xposed and another file as apk. I havent used xposed on lollipop on lg g3.

Since Battery life is better on kk, so i have downgraded my device.
[G3 General] waqasr:
Thank you for your recommendation, I am using the LG G3 tweaks! it has some very useful tweaks.

What other Xposed apps are you using?

When you say you downgraded to KK which KDZ file/version you used? V10f?
[G3 General] mexnoob:
Sorry for de delay, but I was checking the battery life, at least on my case I can say that kk have a better battery life, both phones have the same apps, 2 exchange mail accounts, 1 Google account, and with 23rd of screen on, the difference is 25% more battery on kk. [emoji15]

[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Not necessarily true. I'm from the Philippines and I was able to update my D858HK from Kitkat to Lollipop via OTA.
[G3 General] lolmaus:
Is there a trick to receive an OTA update in a country not normally eligible for it?

Manual firmware update is way too geeky, and also requires Windows, which we don't have.
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
I don't know of any "tricks" because I received my OTA as normal.

There are guidelines to OTA though (and I may be wrong but I believe this applies to any Android device), the most important of which is that the device must be running fully-stock Android firmware (i.e. the firmware that came with your device when you bought it), and it must not have been "tampered" (i.e. rooted).

Personally I prefer manual firmware update versus an OTA. I feel that it's a "cleaner" install/upgrade of my firmware. I do it the same way with my PCs. I don't know maybe it's just me.

It seems overwhelming (geeky) at first but it's really simpler than you think. :)

help needed:(

Hi Guys,

I made a huge mistake and used the nomone resolution changer that bricked my phone - the phone works but the screen shows the boot logo only.

Do you have any suggestions?

I can get to download mode and recovery mode, but i don't have a custom recovery or anything like that, and can't access my files from the PC as i can't enable mass storage connection.

i would really need some pics though, is there any way to get those in download mode? i wouldn't mind downloading all the data if there's such an option.

is there a way to go back to stock rom - which i had - without deleting my pics - like repair?

thanks a lot in advance!

Ouch, dont worry is easy to fix it

1) Follow this thread in how to flash your Lg3

2) Download the right firmware , you can find it here (You can choose KK or Lollipop), Try de D20 firmware that is lollipop

Guys I was able to manually upgrade my phone from KK to Lollipop using the following method!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2797190

I will test it for few days for battery timings/speed/heating and update here!!

By the way manual upgrade was extremely easy/simple and only took like 12 minutes or so.

** UPDATE **

After using my phone for a little over 24 hours I had to use the same method mentioned

above to downgrade back to KK!!! Battery life is definitely better on KK as compare to

Lollipop. I did not have any heating issues but I did feel that my phone was more snappy

when I had KK on there. Also my voice call on whatApp kept disconnecting on Lollipop

so I was having issues with my phone so I reverted back to KK which was perfect for my

phone. whatsApp calls were discounting due to my wifi connecting!! while on my other

phone I was having no wifi issues!! YMMV but this is my experience which I am sharing with you.

*** lowering display to 1080p ***

Since my phone was rooted when I had KK I also tried to lower my phones resolution

to 1080p, display was not as sharp any more and I didn't like it so I reverted back again.

Downgrading to 1080p will only make the phone a little more snappier but will not help

much with battery life which IMO is the most important thing!!

[G3 General] waqasr:
If the firmware is not for the dual sim LG G3 D858HK then either you are going to lose

dual sim capabilities or worst comes to worst brick your phone so I won't recommend it.

If you are feeling brave and since you know how to manually flash firmwares you can always

give it a shot and let us all know about your experience.

I had bricked my phone once by adding some battery saving and performance enhancing

scripts but managed to restore my phone by manually flashing firmware.
