Do u know if we will have full 3G coverage in Spain?¿

These are the frequencies supported by the phone:

2G Network : GSM GPRS EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
3G Network : UMTS HSDPA UMTS 800, 850, 2100 MHz
4G Network : LTE 800, 1500, 1800, 2100 Mhz

I did a little research and it seems Spanish providers use UMTS 900/2100 for 3G and 1800/2600 for 4G so in principle there shouldn't be a problem, i remark in principle because the frequenties used might vary from one provider to another.

Has anyone figured out how to root or at least temp root? I'm getting mine from Kyoex as well (bought it 2 days ago) and all I want to install is Xposed framework :)

And I believe there is only 3G for now (I'm not sure if it's just for people in the USA or everyone worldwide), i have an LG G2 so I'll be leaving 4G LTE for 3G :( But it doesn't matter I'll have the coolest phone ever!

Morning there,
yes, it doesn't support the 900MHz in UMTS... did you get it on your hands? Mine is coming... it is really hard to get it quickly.

    1. Go to Mobile Network Settings
    2. Enable data roaming
    3. Go to Network operators and set your operator company
    4. Enable Data to access mobile network
    5. Congratulations you must have data network!

    Awesome! I got mobile data working now, I'm getting H+ speeds now! My life is complete :p

    is there no way to update the firmware if we are outside of Japan?

    You won't be able to get updates unless you are using a Docomo SIM and in Japan, no other way of installing updates besides OTA
