[q] docomo lg optimus g l-01e

[chacho_2me]

HI guys.. I would like to ask regarding the LG OPTIMUS G JAPAN Variant..once we will have some XDA touch with our LG OPTIMUS phones.. will the Japan Variant (DOCOMO LG OPTIMUS G L-01E, AT&T and the INternational version will be different from each other?

 

[chacho_2me]

no one cares about my thread...so sad

 

[mbonus]

I don't think anyone knows at this point

 

[chacho_2me]

yup..i think you have a point..thanks dude...anyway, i emailed LG already.hoping for a good and satisfying reply and the possibility to unlock bootloaders.. CHEERS!!1

 

[skd]

Japan version is waterproof afaik. I am also looking for international usability and sim lock thing...

regards.

 

[chacho_2me]

yup waterproof and dustproof.. seller told me that you can take pictures/video underwater about 1m.LOL... but what i liked was the SD Card Support.. problem is it has a TV Antenna..but its ok... Philippines uses the same ISDB Standards with JAPAN.. but what I really like is the ROOT..still no news about possible Rooting for the Japan VErsion... and my LG OG will come still next week..hahaha

Docomo lg l-01e optimus g

Think you bought from the same ebay seller as me Chaco lol. But I do know one thing I have been searching high and low and looked thru all threads and could not find much info about the Japan version, none the less anyone working on a recovery or root for it. Some info would be great Already have this thing bought and never thought about looking to see if the bootloader was locked. Mistake I will not make twice lol.

 

[chacho_2me]

hahaha.. gene..looks like he is the only one seller on ebay for the japan variant..dont know about your place (if we are different) but its seems it ill be ages for us here to have the international version..so i cant wait..thats why i ordered it immediately..hahaha.. nonetheless...its not really a lost game here.. compared the specs.. we have sd support for the latest sdxc cards and removable battery (2200maH!!!) and not to mention the ability to take picture and vids under 1m water..haaahaa..cheers to us...

besides you and me..looks like we are not alone as the L-01E users. why not (if possible) make this as our hang out for the L-01E users? who knows..maybe one of us can find something or help each other out..

FYI// sir thecube is planning to help us..though they said they will do it on variant orderly basis..and looks like we are the last...so we are still not at a lost here... anyway..its ony a few weeks right?

 

[Gene1985]

Thats right weeks or months no matter im enjoying the phone, the locked bootloader tho maybe a bad thing foe us lol. Not only are we 2 of few who has this phone lol we have it with a locked booloader. Lol. Either way between you and myself maybe thecubed will help. As i told him i will donate if he is going to do so. Just sucks that such a powerful and nice spec filled smartphone has to sit on the back burner till then. Off toppic tho the docomo bloatware on this is outragous there is way to much stuff on here from them, including rhw antanna bahahahabaha

Yea theres tons of bloatware but i went in task manager and disabled it all which in turn hided it from the application folder so that was great. As for the tv, im in canada so it dont work period. I mainly bought this one for the water proofing and the removable batter tho so.

But i do have one good question for you. Is the camera only accessable to you on the lock scree? I cant seem to access the phone or the text messaging apps? Its faded out only the unlock and camera apps are touchable.

hmmmm... i used the go locker... and there is only the unlock, messaging and phone (call) app... when i was on the default docomo launcher... i usually use the normal TAP unlock. to bad we didnt have the special LG unlock style..the 3d watery effect..

i bought this phone merely because no availability here for now in the philippines...and ofcourse the sd support, removable battery, water proof..and believing about japanese standards.. too bad though we dont have the special Back Glossy feel that the other variants have

so even though you have your own model there..but you preffered the docomo variant

still i liked our phone though..and if in the future there will be dev support..then everything will be perfect!!!

really? i will try disabling some other apps too...

hope other L-01E users will try read with our forum as well

 

[chacho_2me]

Just declaring my interest - I've been using my L-01E for over 1 month and loving every bit of it, except my qualm that its LTE is not usable in Hong Kong.

hmmmm..havent checked it Philippines yet...hope it will be ok

i really thought that once you have 4G and the country is also 4G capable..there will be no problems...sorry for being such a noob.. but all in all..in my opinion.. L-01E is the BEST OPTIMUS G there is...so i believe L-01E is by far the best in the market (downside though is the ROOT and CUSTOM capability..for now)

 

[coolzer023]

L-01E

I have been using this phone for a week now. And all I can say is wow!... Its really worth my time waiting for it.... I really hope that I can find a cover like that of the AU's (the white ones)

 

[Gene1985]

this is insane, there is like no development going on for the L-01E at all. this frustrates me and makes me believe i bought the wrong smartphone now.
