Question for t-mobile UK customers, does anyone know if or when t-mobile is going to release a new version on the MDA Compact III ?
I went in and asked just before xmas and the shop assistant said they were but I think she was getting confused with the touch dual. I've since gone in to another shop and they said they have absolutely no information on it. So at the moment the answer is they're not getting it.
Why don't you upgrade to a N95/Kaiser and sell it on ebay, then use the funds the buy a touch cruise? That's what I'm doing (although I've bought a TC before I can upgrade )
Sounds like a plan!!

Like many people I really want an HTC Touch Pro aka Raphael. I have a Korean foreign exchange student living with me that can get a HTC Touch Pro from Korea. I know that the phone has multiple versions. Can I use the Korean phone with AT&T?
Will it work out of the box or will I have to do something to it?
It will work fine for EDGE and voice, not 3G. I'm stuck with edge now for the first time (I'm currently in VT for a few days)... Honestly, not as bad as I thought.
Great info Black.... Can you try YouTube streaming and let us know how the performance is on EDGE? Wondering if it streams or just degrades the quality like the iPhone when streaming video. Thanks.
I am going to Seoul, South Korea in 2 weeks and may have the opportunity to get the Raphael while I am there. Do you know what the prices are in Korea?
phones are generally more expensive in korea then here in US
I have just bought my LG G Pro 2 off eBay for £320 from a UK stocked supply so hopefully will be getting it tomorrow. I am on the Three network so 4G should work fine, although the 800 band 4G won't be supported when they roll it out in the rural areas, but I don't mind that. I currently have an iPhone 5S and iPad, and having previously had all android devices I have just never been able to get into the Apple products, I think they are way over rated, so the iPhone and iPad I have are going on eBay next week, and this LG G Pro 2 will be a compromise over having 2 different devices ). I have read so many positive things about the G Pro 2 and they aren't loaded with stupid technology you don't need, and they are cheaper than Samsung phones. I was looking at the Sony Z Ultra as they are selling them for £250 on Expansys, but I felt it was too big, and many reviewers said the screen wasn't bright enough and the battery isn't removable. So what are your opinions for those of you who already have this phone?

Congratulations on your purchase. You're going to love this phone. The screen might be on the bigger side but I find it perfect for reading on the go and playing games. The minimal bezels and the amazing battery life are such a treat to have. and it has a much slimmer profile than I had expected. All the best for using the phone. Do feel free to reach out to the community if you have any queries or issues :good:

Hi there everyone the phone arrived today, am very impressed, I think the screen is better than my iPhone 5s which is going on eBay next week lol. It blows my iPad air out of the water too, I have always been disappointed with the display on the iPad air. It reminds me of a TN panel on a budget laptop.
I can see this LG G Pro 2 serving me well, its easy to use and I love the UI, which am surprised about as I normally like vanilla stock android. It just seems to work. I can't believe LG hasn't released this phone in the UK. I think it would do very well as far as phablets go. I'll update more as the day goes on.
I haven't seen any FM radio by the way. If you have unlimited data plan just stream it on one of the many radio streaming sites.

I have received mine yesterday evening and it's gorgeous. What a beautiful screen. As I have a G2 as well the speed seems the same, may be sometimes a little faster.
B.t.w. I cannot select "swype" from keyboard. I could on my G2. Is that normal? Okay I have installes Swype for now but the G3 keyboard wolud have been nicer.

backup old keyboard from g3 keyboard options , than hit install and reboot.
for more info and ...etc..feel free to join our g pro 2 facebook group

enjoy.
I already rooted my D838 and have installed the G3 keyboard as well. But that doesn't give you the trace function on the D838. I searched a bit further and found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531417 where is described how to enable the swipe/trace function. After edit my build.prop swipe is working fine with the LG G3 keyboard. Also G2tweakbox xposed addon works really well on our D838.
Does this phone support exfat formatted ext SDCard ?

Hello all
Does any of you know about the availability of the D837 version in Europe (particularly UK) all I can see on eBay is the D838. My concern is that the D838 only supports 1800 / 2600 on 4G. I am with "Three Mobile" which as I understand mainly uses 800. I can see that the D837 has better frequency support on 2G and 4G which is more useful to me as Three user and also because I travel quite often.
I don't have much information about the F350 model but I can see on eBay being sold from Korea or China (I rather buy from a UK seller), does any one know which frequencies this version supports.
And the last question to the OP (or anyone in a similar situation). I can see that you have bought the D837 and using Three mobile, have you had any issues so far, how does the 4G performs?
Your help would be much appreciated.
LTE bands
I have the F350s, and in the hidden service menu you can choose other LTE bands, and other GSM frequency's then what is listed in the phone spec. For example I'm in the the US on AT&T and LTE band 17 is a option and works great.
this phone is a hidden gem....
I've had my LG G Pro 2 32GB for a couple of months now, it's the best phone I've had since my Sony Xperia Z Ultra 16GB. But now it's time to move on to another device so put it up for sale. It's a shame LG messed up the D83810F update, looking forward to G Pro 3 if LG bother with it.

D837 is rare. i wanted to buy one in HK (the seller advertised it) but it was just a sales tactic to get people in the door. most phones from here will be the F350 or D838.
i use GiffGaff in the UK which is on the O2 network so i'll be on 3G when I come over later this month.
While 3 does use some 800MHz, the official line from them is your device needs to support 1800MHz.
On the Oneplus site the UK version of the 7 pro is £699 while the on the US site is is $699
I am going to be working over there but in the UK mainly and can buy and get delivered to either location.
The US works out much cheaper but is there any issues with buying off the US site and using here ? In the specs they have all bands covered so is there anything else that mght cause an issue if buying US version of phone to use here ?

I wouldn't think so. And if it saves you money, I say go for it. Who doesn't like saving money?
