Hey Gang,
Seriously considering a G2, specifically the Korean version with the Micro Sim and removal battery. Anyone with a Korean G2 in North America? Any hiccups to report?

I don't but I came over from Germany with an European phone. Actually no limitations besides only working on Att frequencies and only up to 4G but no LTE. For you is important to check on the Korean versions basebands and if it uses American bands and importantly if you they are for T Mobile or ATT.

Well I don't know about the G2 and boot loader. I ment that I came over from Germany with a international device. Not a G2 a Sony xperia z and it works but like I said if u get an non USA phone u need to check on the basebands so u know with what carrier it will work. Lte most likely won't work in the USA.

LTE bands probably won't work. Nor the tv antenna. Wondering if i made the right move here, just to get a micro sd and removable battery. Time will tell.

Well I am using the F320S, no boot loader and for hard reset I normally just push and hold the power button till it resets or just remove the battery.

[Request] Service/Hidden Menu Codes

Anybody know any service menu codes?

In particular one to bring up a menu to turn off LTE.
Cheers
You can dial 3845#*(model number)#
This brings you to the hidden menu and allows you to disable LTE and more. I used it to disable thermal throttling and fast dormancy. My version is the Att one so I dialed 3845#*800#
Hope that helps.

Hi to all!!
Sorry to bring up an old post but I thought it was the right place to do so!
I have a 801 converted to 803 (rooted with lolipop installed 5.0.2) SP is Videotron in Montreal, Canada... The hidden menu was accessible before but now, I can't acces it... Tells me It can't connect, incorrect IHM...
Any ideas on how I could solve this problem?!
Thanks in advance for the help!
Hi I ve AT&T d800 5.0.2 with root. I remove AT&T adress book with titanium backup and now there is telephone contact. When I go contacts settings and contacts to display there is not telephone bar there. How can I fix this problem Thanks
Open your phone’s dial pad and type the following code: 3845#*<model number>#. For example, type-
3845#*800# (for At&T model)
3845#*801# (for T-Mobile variants)
3845#*802# (for European variants)
3845#*803# (for AT&T and Canadian variants)
5689#*980# (for Sprint LG G2)

Note 3 has no lte option?

Hi guys I recently got myself a note 3 with videotron here in Canada
I know videotron does not have lte yet but on my phone I don't even have that option
All I have is
WCDMA/GSM(auto connect)
WCDMA ONLY
GSM ONLY
My friend has does same options but has also the LTE option available
My note 3 is a sm-n900w8
Thanks

It depends if your carrier has 4G as I am on Three network UK and I too dont have the LTE option because 4G not out in my area yet but when I changed sim to O2 who already have 4G the LTE option appears.

If you're already rooted go to data/property ,find the persist.radio.lteon.xml file. Open it in Text Editor and if the value that is written is false, change it to true. Save and exit and reboot. Thats it

Rooting has many benefits. The main reason I do it is to uninstall all the bloatware that Samsung saddles you with. My Note 3 came with 25+ useless apps that I can't delete. That's not even counting the 7 that T-Mobile sticks on here. Most of them don't run all the time, but a few do. Like Magazine and the also useless Samsung Siri knockoff. I just use Google voice instead. Another advantage to rooting it would be all the customization options that you would have.

SIM Problems

I searched around but couldn't find anything to solve my problem.
I just bought a LG G2 D800 from Ebay, clean ESN and I double checked it and it was clean.
I unlocked it in CyanogenMod which only required 1 unlock code, but then reverted to stock 4.2.2 restore where there's 5 different locks? When I try to tap each it displays, "Your phone is not personalized".
I slotted my MetroPCS SIM in and the phone displays "Phone not allowed MM #6" on reboot.
Those are all the steps I have done so far to try and use my MetroPCS SIM. This is my first time ever using a GSM Phone, I have no idea what to do now. I've tried to look around Google and XDA and can't find my problem. There was no errors on the AT&T SIM.
looks like a carrier simlocked phone. Is it carrier branded?

Factory reset has done nothing.
Basically, I unlocked the phone, but it isn't unlocked.
Is there any way to reset the lock? Or something of that nature.

Go to Settings>More Networks>Mobile networks>Network mode and change it to gsm only. if it doesn't help then change it to wcdma only and if even that doesn't work then change to auto connect and get a new connection from a better company
Note: It takes some time to switch network mode so be patient and give it a minute or two to properly shift.

As you said that you have flashed a custom ROM and now on stock rom,
Check whether you still have the IMEI #.
Also try insterting the Sim card on another device to check if Sim working, if working then try doing a factory reset.
Also once factory reset done as go in Setting-More Networks-Mobile Networks-Access points-Reset to default.
Try the above steps and let me know if problem still persists.
Dont forget to click the Thank button:good:
