Well I mean SMS has 160 character limit on 4.4.2

Use a 3rd party SMS App.
Since N5 has hangouts as the default app, I downloaded SMS (AOSP) which works great, you could try 8SMS too.

What's the dialer problem?

Guys I have LG F180k converted to E975 Kitkat 4.4.2. I am not getting 3g on it. Btw it is LG U+ model. Did anyone else get this problem?

 

[ShuAK]

i have recently converted my friends F180K to E975 and have not faced any problem 3G is working fine.
BTW F180k is not LG U+ model it is KT model and if it is LG U+ then its model number should be F180L and whatever model it is it should recieive 3G. call your network's service center they will enable 3G for your mobile.

What carrier do you have?

LG U+ phones sometimes have different bands. So it is possible that our 3G wont work on their phone.

I have Ufone.

 

[murtaza12]

I have Ufone.

I really don't want to say this, but, I know a few people who have F180's but Ufone doesn't work right on it.

When you converted to E975, did you flash the baseband too or just an E975 ROM?

I flashed basband on it. I also had back up efi folder. I restored it too. But anyways now i have reverted it to Korean rom. Using sling. But still no 3g.

I have a Lg Optimus G F180L converted to E975 JellyBean (rooted). I want to install SlingRom on it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762171. I'm confused about how to proceed.
Am I supposed to convert it back to stock Korean rom first and then install the rom with the instructions given? Or can I do it without installing Korean rom first i.e. install JellyBean E97510h and then SlingRom after that?

If LG U+ written, then it is F180L, u must install F180L KDZ if you want stock. If u r using Sling, install Patch of F180L, not F180K. After flashing the correct KDZ / patch, go to mobile network settings and select WcdmA/LTE/GSM auto and restart. It should work.

Don't install above otherwise you may not get signal due to baseband issue. Install from here and install F180L patch right after flashing rom (do not reboot the set without installing F180L patch). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786769

Thanks man. I will try it. Btw i already have Sling on it with F180k patch. Should i just patch over it or do it fresh?

You may try flashing F180L patch as it will not wipe your apps n data. However, if it does not work then perform a clean install and use F180L patch and everything will be ok.

Zong has launched 4G service and warid is also doing so in coming week but bad news for us the users of Korean mobiles that they will not support this 4G. Mostly the Korean mobiles we are getting here in pak are (L) versions which do not have LTE 1800 frequency which is being used in Pak.

That is what specs says but even then i will do a real test when i get hands on zong 4G sim and i wish i am wrong.

is it possible to install custom roms on Samsung Galaxy S3 (SHV-E210K)???

Yeah there are a few decent ones based on JB and KK.
Go to the E210 (XDA) link in the OP, you'll find a few.
E210S and E210K ROMs are easier to build and find because they have the same partition table as I9300.

E210L is different. Even I9305 ROMs don't work on it. I haven't found a single custom ROM for E210L yet. So I sold mine. It was a POS anyway.

Yes you are wrong, check out zong's website for 4G LTE compatible sets here and select your manufacturer... All LG "L" versions are listed there..

Zong 4G LTE

Yes you are right...... just saw it

Thanks

BTW I just noticed they have listed all models which are claimed as 4G LTE supported.. but confusion is still there...Many sets which Zong listed are not 1800Mhz supported..whereas we need 1800 :/

Yea but one user told me here that he is using 4G on f320L (korean G2)

Have to check it myself to confirm.
