The Indian P765 uses a normal sim card.

Which version? I have the T-Mobile version, (aka P769) which uses normal size sim.
EDIT: Sorry, its definitely a micro. Dont know what I was thinking when I wrote this.

Yes, FREE! It's written on sticker on box. Its so beautiful. Wow. You only need to buy from honest dealer. I guess it's at least worth Rs.600/- by quality. Hard plastic back covering all 8 corners. Still very slim. But it's WHITE, I wanted black. No matter.
Bought at 'connections" at Churney Road.
Sent from p765.

finally bought Lg L9 white from Mobile world ,irla, vile parle , [email protected] 17.5k. screen is so awesome , joy to hold in hand. for me it's only minus point is loud speaker volume which is less than my previous Motorola defy.

German T-Mobile Vario IV not locked!

Hi to all,
Seems there is no need for SIM unlocking the Vario....
I operate it with an Alice Card, which means working in E+ - no Probs at all!

Varioprices in Germany
Just to say it:
Prices for electronic devices are much morre expensive in Europe - even without the temporary high $/€ exchangerates...
f.e.: the Vario IV without contract of T-Mobile costs almost 800€ - in the states you´ll get it for this price in US$.
So......

Xperia Mini ST15 for £149!

Before I start, this deal is only in the UK but other country's may have similar pricing but I cannot guarantee it.
Title is self-explanatory really. Great hardware at a great price. Hope this attracts potential devs for this awesome phone.

Picked one from CPW this evening. Got mine in white with the T-mobile simcard thrown in. Looks very good in white and was unlocked. It is a big upgrade from my LG Gt540, very impressed by the speed of the little beast, Flash 10.3 runs very smooth, apps open quickly. Very pleased to get a Qualcomm 8255 processor powered phone for this money.
pcworld - how much was that and was the bootloader unlockable? I can get a free upgrade to this phone from my Voda contract, but I expect that'll be Voda branded and have a locked down bootloader - so will probably upgrade, sell and buy sim free.
bootloader is unlockable through se website, not sure if it applies to branded phones too or not. but be sure that it will void your warranty
Phone was unlocked and unbranded cost £149 + £10 compulsory topup.

They had generic black and white unbranded versions in the store, all were unlocked GSM stock, they are not networked linked . You pick the colour you want and then they give you a T-mobile sim pack which is preloaded with £10 credit or an orange sim. I haven't opened my sim pack as I have a T-mobile payg sim with free internet already.

Can you check on yours is the right hand capacitive button on the screen as responsive as the left back capacitive button? My right button just seems a little less responsive.

[Q] Dual-sim adapter and micro-SIM

I figured this topic is a question, therefore I did not post it in the accessories forum.
I was wondering if it is possible to use a dual sim adapter for the Galaxy S3. For the S2, I have a no cut adapter, which fits under the battery cover without a problem.
Since the S3 is using micro sim, this becomes more complicated. A cut adapter is impossible. A no cut adapter would possible. There are some multi sim adapters for the iPhone 4s. Does anyone have one and could tell me if it is possible to use with the Galaxy S3?
The adapter would also allow to use standard size sim. I don't know how thick the adapters are, perhaps they also fit under the battery cover. It is a shame that the S3 uses micro-SIM with the size of a 4.8" phone, even the slot is exceptionally big, I suspect it was changed later just so people can plop in their SIM cards from their iPhones.
Id be interested in this if you could find one that fit under the cover.
Here is an adapter.
http://www.g-telware.de/dual-sim-adapter/gdsgs3-dual-sim-adapter-karte-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
Any idea if the dual adapters made for iPhone 4 would work? because I've seen them for $5.
I think the iph4 adapters will work also.
bigger question is will they fit under the back cover of the s3!?
can anybody tell me if there is 1mm room between the back cover and the battery? (or if the back cover can be snapped back in with a small "lump" because of the extra sim)
The back cover's very flexible so it should fit no problem, and I ordered an iPhone dual adapter for $5.40 last week so i'll give that a try when it turns up.

As all others said don't buy it because the people using this device are all frustrated to own this device and many of them have already shifted to new device within short time...
Reason- This device has got one of the best Open Source Processor [Sarcastic ]
And in this price range or even little bit more price you can get 10 times better device..
So don't waste your money on this device..

No LG V10 love for UK apparently!

Just for fun, I tweeted the pic from this Web page back to LG UK.
http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-trolls-samsung-for-not-bringing-the-note-5-to-europe-635580/
So after a few days, I got this reply via dm.
(attached) so what do you all think? Should I hold out and wait or is it a lost cause?
If they're telling you that, then they have very good reasons for it. Either it's not coming at all, or in any reasonable length of time. So if you really want the phone, your best bet is to just import the H960 model - it supports all necessary bands for every UK carrier.

So did I, very confusing picture here. All I want to know is..... is it or isn't it so that I know to wait or order the international version. Extremely annoying of LG not to tell us, I have a G3 and I want to upgrade to this phone because I love the idea of app switching between my favourite apps full screen from the mini screen without having to go back to the home screen each time. I also like the idea of the fingerprint reader.
https://www.androidpit.com/lg-v10-review (posted 4 days ago)
The LG V10 is now available for presale in the US and some European markets. It is confirmed for release in the UK. If you want to buy the LG V10, it’s price will be between US$600 and US$700 off-contract. There is only a 64 GB model available, which also comes with 4 GB of RAM, a microSD slot and removable battery. It will be available in white, space black, beige, ocean blue and opal blue.
Couldnt be bothered waiting another 2 months for the lg v10 to be released in the uk so i just ordered the black H961N dual sim version off ebay for 489 pounds , it took 4 days to get here tracked well packaged in original box fast charger quad beats 3 headset all perfectly working which is a steal as when this phone drops in the uk price will be 600+ lol ..... Anyways i usually use giffgaff as the 4G unlimited data is nice for 20 pounds a month , but this phone dosent support 4G on o2 network and the giffgaff network is piggy back riding the o2 infrastructure so that means no 4G coverage ,,,, i still get a good 3G connection but its nothing like 4G ““ so as this version of the LG V10 is dual sim ive ordered a 4G nano sim from the EE network which will run side by side with my giffgaff sim network and should give me 4G network coverage which should solve my 4G problem `` and this LG variant dosent work on Vodafone at all which im not bothered about anyways ,, but with all this being said ive upgraded from the LG G3 and i absolutely love this phone “ looks and feels great ( premium feel ““ good performance i.e multitasking , day to day tasks are a breeze @ cameras are great ( all three of them lol ) i get 5 hours screen time with ( my) normal moderate use “ the second screen is not a gimmick its nice to be able to switch between recent apps without opening the app draw and no more annoying pop up notifications on your main screen “ i carnt wait for the devs to tweek the second screen it has alot of untouched potential ” i could probably go on and on about this phone but until you hold this beast you won't understand how well designed this phone is ““ i have one disappointment with this phone which is the bottom speaker , it can sound a little tinny at high volume which is a shame but hey nothings perfect “ but i mainly consume media with headphones anyways so its all good as a ringer “ all in all its 500 pound well spent i paid that for my LG G3 2 years ago

You're incorrect in saying the phone doesn't work on Vodafone. It has the 2600 band for LTE which vodafone use. It doesnt' have the 800 band though.
How much are you paying for your second SIM? Seems too much of a hassle. Do you have to switch in order to use the data from the second sim?

How does the size feel vs the LG G3. I have the G3 but unsure about the size
The phone is large but coming from the lg g3 its not that much of a difference
---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------
Were i bought it from it said it didnt work on Vodafone oh well there mistake ” i paid 2 pounds delivered for the EE sim card the sims should work in tandom as i only have one sim in now and on the lockscreen it says i have signal for sim 1 but no sim for sim 2 and it wouldn't be and no its no hassle at all ““ it also has a sim switch toggle for the on screen soft keys which is a handy feature if you do have to switch between sims to use the 4G data ““ phone calls should just come through as normal

the korean version H961N has band 2600 which vodafone used for 4G, however, Vodafone also use the 800 band which travels further and through walls better so technically you can get 4g on Vodafone with the H961N but it might be a bit weaker than normal. Is it worth it then?!
I'd like the option of a dual sim as I travel quite a bit but I'm in the UK most of the time so I need strong 4G
Why are they taking so long! I want the Ocean Blue version and I want it now!!

I too am on GiffGaff and awaiting V10 in UK, however I haven't been brave enough to order one from Ebay - yet!
Have you explored the possiblity of opening up LTE band 20 via the service menu? If I understand correctly, it can be done on the G4, what about the V10 also?
I had read on the Net somewhere that O2 block the use of their SIMs on Dual SIM phones. Presumably you have not found this problem?
I may well go along the same route as you and buy a H961N as I am annoyed that the H960 bound for Europe only has 32Gb storage. I reckon we are being short changed over here as usual.

The G4 supports band 20 800MHz, so does a different model of this phone as per once of the first posts in this thread. There are 2 or 3 different models aimed at different markets. When the 'real' UK / Europe model is released for sale it will support band 20.
I spoke to Jason at LG Electronics UK on Monday (I assume it is the same person). He said they are aiming to release the V10 in the UK in 4-6 weeks but couldn't confirm the release date. It would be nice if they offered a similar bundle to the one in the USA, although I guess it is unlikely.

I well realise that both the G4 and V10 come in many different variants, H960, H961N etc. set up for the territories the variant is intended to be sold in. However I'm pretty sure that hardware wise they are much the same , aside from dual-sim or 32Gb/64Gb storage. Therefore the frequency selection must be in firmware ? If so, does it need more than access to the service menu to add LTE bands? eg band 20 on the H961N.
Do you "thinewonk" by any chance work for LG as your statement looks like a stock company reply.
I'm really looking for the views of "ruk212" , as I may be going down the same route as him since we live in RipOff Britain.
