There is not a single thread which gives all the information regarding the LS980. also i was getting lot of pm's regarding the GSM unlock. so basically this thread will have all the information, if anything is left out please feel free so message me or in thread. Phone Config LG-G2-LS980 Phone Drivers LS980 Drivers My Experience Personally i was a Samsung fan until they came out with the Kn0x security. i had 2 choice the Note 3 and the LG G2, since the Note 3 had issues with data not working on CDMA mode and the G2 was and still is wallet friendly, so i decided to go with the G2 and till date i DO NOT regret it. LAG is something that is simply not in its dictionary, super smooth. Like the HTC One this phone is also sealed and comes in 2 variants 16 and 32 Gigs. Initially only 2 colors Black and White, now the actual(international) site has many different ones. This one is a LCD compared to the S4 with AMOLED, To be frank only if you have the two phones together you might see the difference. I found the G2 to be more vibrant and a lil brighter side compared to the S4. 1000 times more accurate smartstay display than the S4, Same with auto brightness. Feels much lighter than the S4 and the build quality is anyday better than S4, feels solid in hand. Many have debated about the volume and power keys being at the back, actually its something you have to try and then understand, now if i handle any other phone than my G2 i tend to Tap the display 2 times softly to get the screen going, like the home or power button, im so used to it now. Tap 2 times on display to lock the screen & same to to light the display back again. Initially when i first got the phone i used to tap hard thinking that was the right way and 7/10 times it used to work, did not know that one has to tap very lightly as possible. Soft tap 2 times gets it locked and vice-versa 10/10 times. Its actually easier to use volume rockers in the center position then one side like anyother phone. Theres more to this phone and i dont have the patience nor time to explain everything. Phone definitely requires a case to protect it from fall, i have the Spigen Slim Armour. Runs on 4.2.2JB and 2 updates have been released till date. LS980ZV7 (Initial Release) LS980ZV8 (Security Update) LS980ZVA (Sprint Spark and loki-killer) Not used in India so i have not taken it. LS980ZVC (KitKat 4.4.2 OS Update) Also if you are a custom ROM freak DO NOT INSTALL the ZVA update as it removes the ability to do that. People who have taken it do not worry as there is a work around. Custom ROM installation for people who have taken ZVA update. Only if you understand everything mentioned in the above link proceed else you just might end up with a hard brick.

Or after root use FreeGee from Google Play (Requires root access) Install and backup EFS. How to get you MSL/SPC Easiest method to get SPC: Dial ##443336772# and your SPC/MSL will be displayed on the screen! Probably this will work for other LG phones also.

How to Unroot Access Superuser app, go to settings of the app & look for Full unroot. Select it and wait for the phone to reboot. Recovery for KitKat 4.4.2 LS980ZVC SOURCE GSM Unlock For G2 LS980 This is a temporary GSM unlock & not a permanent or a solid one. Two known issues, you cant access Wi-Fi settings, as it crashes if you try to access, and you cant dial any number without adding 0 before it. Example: Sunny Leons phone number is 6969696969, to call her you gotta dial 06969696969. If you dial direct 6969696969 the phone app crashes and your phone switches to GSM mode if you are in CDMA mode. As far as i know these are only 2 known bugs this unlock has. hope we get a more stable unlock. Install ROM Toolbox Lite 1 Run Rom Toolbox Lite and select performance marked in red 2 Select build.prop editor marked in red 3 Select search using the magnifying glass icon below marked in red 4 In search field type "build.target" as shown in pic below 5 Select "ro.build,target_operator" as show in pic below 6 Change value from "SPR" to "spr" as show in pic below and press ok marked in yellow. 7 Reboot popup will come, select ok and reboot the phone. Your phone should be GSM unlocked now. Install HIAPN or Tweakker for APN settings of your service provider. Install Telinfo to switch between CDMA(CDMA Auto PRL) & GSM(GSM Auto PRL) Permanent Unlock for the LG-G2-LS980

Omh sim works on g2 Modded sim are not required Just make phone ruim only from dfs. Data also works tapatalking.....

Airtel offers 4G LTE at 3G rates on Apple iPhone in Bangalore Source Indian telecom service provider Bharti Airtel announced 4G LTE services at 3G rates on Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C smartphones in Bangalore. In a statement, Airtel said in Bangalore on Apple iPhone 5s or 5c will be able to experience 4G on their mobile at the current 3G prices while on the move. Customers have to change their existing SIM to a 4G SIM to start enjoying 4G on mobile without any need to migrate from their existing data plan. Customers on 2G/GPRS data plans/packs can also opt for any of the 3G plans/packs available and enjoy 4G speeds. In addition to these plans, for heavy data users, Airtel also announced the launch of a new 4G plan giving customers 10 GB 4G data for Rs 1,000. While data browsing will be on 4G network, voice calls will be routed on 2G/3G seamlessly with the CSFB (circuit switched fall back) technology. “Airtel mobile customers using the Apple iPhone 5s and 5c devices can start experience Airtel 4G immediately. While existing Airtel mobile customers have to update their existing SIM to a 4G SIM and select their preferred pack (any existing 3G pack is automatically 4G). New customers can buy the 4G SIM and any 3G data pack/plan,” said Srini Gopalan, director – Consumer Business, Bharti Airtel India.

SNS are the best option out there right now. They don't have any control over the amount of duty being charged but at least they are honest about it. HSG/comGateway are not good if you are from North India as customs department in Delhi is notoriously bad for overcharging. Best experience I have heard of till date is by people from Mumbai. As for SNS it works out if one ships a lot of stuff via them as you are bound to get good luck as much as there are chances of bad luck. Case and point being my latest 2 shipments via SNS. 1) Contained 2 HTC One MAX - Duty charged 6300 which is alright as that would put the assessed value of the package at 90k which is what the phones cost in India. Still a lot more than what I would like to have paid. 2) Contained 1 HTC One MAX and 1 LG G2 - Duty charged 534. I was literally laughing as to how did that happen. So all in all I end up paying around 6800 as duty for 4 phones which is more than acceptable and still less than what the cheats at PPOBox would have charged me without any proof. Experience has been similar with all the last 10-12 phones I had got shipped via SNS. Only problem with them is that the service is very slow as compared to PPOBox/HSG but then there are no hassles and as said above, Ms. Anuradha is very helpful. I used to ship with them earlier and even in those days my experience had been very good due to the great CS provided by Ms. Anuradha and her team.

No you dont, on G2 every reliance OMH sim is "Special" Screenshot: Image1755760661.jpg Yup.. I too am using normal Tata omh sim card without any mods and it is working completely fine..

No you dont, on G2 every reliance OMH sim is "Special" Screenshot:

I recently got one for sale.. Tata CDMA RUIM worked for me with Voice, SMS and Data.. Haven't tried RCDMA RUIM yet..

+1 for the post Vinod. Anyways my 2 paise for the phone: -You can use the TMobile rom on it [hunt XDA] and everything works [GSM and RUIM] except NFC. No wifi setting crash or need to put 0 before dialing numbers [Atleast this is what I have been told, havnt tried personally]. - Install TB and Block the UpdateDevice service and it will stop bugging you about OTA. You can also uncheck the Notification for GoogleServicesFramework. - When I did SPR to spr and other changes in build.prop, it was giving me error for "SprintExtensionProvider has stopped" working when phone was restarted. So blocked everything sprint related and now no error popups -Data does not work during calls . Very disappointing. EVDO speeds are good but not a good as EVO LTE, which has given me the highest EVDO speeds till date (All test parameters constant) -LG`s skin on this phone is quite a show off, with loads of bloat and animations. I reckon if you put some stable AOSP rom on this ... it will give 2 days+ of battery life with moderate use. Still with LG`s skin the battery life is awesome.

Good write up! You should do a full unboxing and review for same phone ( most part u already covered here ) I have also suggested many to take g2 compare to s4 This is really nice phone in many aspect tapatalking.....

LG's G2 is one of the most under-rated super phone, which is much much better than S4 and ONE, even specs wise as good as Note3 (except s-Pen of course). Such a nice treatment for that phone is much needed and thanks a lot Vinod ji for your hard work...

Indeed the LG G2 is a wonderful phone and yet doesn't burn a big hole in your pocket.. To write such a beautiful and detailed description+tutorial in one post.. I can imagine the time spent in making this happen.. Hats off to you Vinod ji..

Shreesh, I have used BB 9650 verizon in the past on the idea network on gsm and data used to work without any kind of tweaks or settings. Hence I believe it would also work on bsnl. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

@DK - sorry to butt in, how about this? http://www.desidime.com/premium_deals/acer-aspire-e1-570-nxmepsi001-notebook For any laptop from Snapdeal you can use the BESTBUY coupon

1. I do not need to shout or bold to get my views across. I bolded that post by mistake. I never ever write in caps or bold otherwise. You don't know me, don't judge me. 2. You did not discuss the +ves/-ves of Moto G did you? You just said we are "raving" about it. Did you even bother to back it up with a coherent argument or info? No you did not. 3. Yes, I recognize what is a debate and what is a wind-up. You are on the latter, swanning in to a thread and going against the popular view just to elicit a reaction. Well done, enjoy your 15 secs of fame. I find it sad that you had to look up my post history to take a swipe at me. Well done for wasting your time. Again, don't judge my posts. I don't judge yours. My rep speaks for itself. 4. No, this is not a debate. You made a statement not backed up with facts. That becomes a slagging off. If you really want a debate, argue logically for/against. Don't just say so-and-so is over hyped and we are all raving about it. That reeks of ignorance. @RM - we are getting derailed here, and I would appreciate if you can delete mine and gargoyle's posts to clean up the thread a bit

Yes I know it is an open forum, I have been a member here for 7 years thank you I cannot let you all know insider info due to obvious reasons, and moreover I have no reason to do it when all you do is make sly digs at any "informed" views that I make First you openly wonder if the tariff is going to be worthy of the technology, then I say I have to reason to believe it will be, then you say you are not convinced, and then you expect me to justify why I say so? Is this a baiting game or what? Thanks but no thanks - you stick to your views and I will stick to mine You say you are expressing your views. May I ask based on what? I have info to base my views on. And I have already given my views. You, seemingly, have no info yet you question what I said - that is not "expressing views" sorry, that's just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing I will not reply to your posts on this topic anymore

Try these alternates. All three are independent of each other. Lemme know if it helps. <br /> <br /> 1.Manually switch off wifi. And then try switching on Internet sharing <br /> <br /> 2. Create a new random apn. Select it. Restart phone. And then revert back to original apn. Now try to on internet sharing. <br /> <br /> 3. <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/access-point/ce3895c7-01d0-4daf-a4c3-25c10463942d#'>http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/access-point/ce3895c7-01d0-4daf-a4c3-25c10463942d#</a><br /> <br /> Try this app.
