Spare battery?

If anyone finds one for the LG Optimus G Pro could you let me know?
I've looked on Amazon, eBay, Google, even LG.com and didn't find #%&!
C'mon LG... is this anyway to treat a flagship hero product?

Thank you for the link but I'd prefer a name brand.
I wouldn't want a off-brand battery to explode in my $600 phone

[Q] LG Optimus G Pro , 500$ brand new - legit?

Hi, I just found LG Optimus G Pro on ebay for 500$ , shipped from UK? You think this is genuine and legit version with warranty?
lol
Im not able to send links yet. just look on ebay for : G Optimus G Pro - 32GB - White Black (Factory Unlocked) Smartphone Brand New
thanks

$500 is awfully cheap. If it's a trusted seller it might be ok.

It's this listing:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/LG-Optimus-G...=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c32e076c2#ht_967wt_963
I'm tempted to buy two, one for myself and one for my brother... but I'm also wary..
I asked the seller why so cheap, this was his response:
Quick info about my items: - 100% factory unlocked, 100% genuine LG Optimus G Pro in original sealed boxes. I have both colors: White and Black. - I have E985, E980, L-04E and F240 versions. You can use them with any sim card. - I have them in stock because the phones are bought directly from factory and also this is the reason why the prices are low. They all have 1 year international warranty. - I can send them with DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or your preferred shipping company. The items are sent from my warehouse in Glasgow. - Free Customs. That is right... Free Customs. Not because your customs doesn`t charge ... it`s because i send in such way that you will not pay customs. - As you can see in my description: Pickup is not available at this time as i do not hold stock on hand for security and reliability reasons.
So yeah...I guess he/she is legit, also has 100% rating and seems newish, but has about 457 ratings.

International shipping with no customs doesn't sound legit to me...

I wasn't aware of an E985 version. What carrier could that be from? Also, there's a minimum order of 2 items.

E985 is for India, I think

does anyone know which version would be suitable for europe - UK? - E985?

I wouldn't even THINK of buying a phone on eBay unless the seller had feedback in the thousands with a feedback score of at least 99.8%. Just too risky otherwise.

Well looks like it might have been a scam?
The posting has been taken down:
Item 121112655554 is no longer available.

i wouldnt trust anything coming from england through ebay.. too risky and too many scams from there. trust transactions from america..
the ebay ad sounds too good to be true.. dont trust it. youll be sorry. sounds like a clone. my friend bought an lg optimus g pro on ebay.. turned out it was a clone.

Anyone know where to buy in the UK

I've found the black LG g pad at places like asda direct and Amazon priced at £259 can only find the white version on Amazon for £299 and its from a dodgy looking marketplace seller. Any other UK owners out there and where did you buy?

I bought from ASDA because I wanted the black, but the white is available from Tesco Direct at £259. It's also available from Clove (£259) and Expansys (£249), but haven't used either of those sites myself so can't vouch for their reliability.

I bought mine last night from ADSA Direct, it's listed at £249 but if you use the voucher code 'taboffer' you'll get £20 off.
£229 is the best price I've been able to find (from a reputable source) in the UK.

Thankyou, i did look on tesco direct in early November and they weren't on there then. I will check it out!

Thanks but asda only seem to stock the black version, I really want the white one. Also been reading about the Google play edition... Might wait for it to hit the play store here, I think it would go nicely with my LG Nexus 5.

I picked up my white version from tesco in the uk. £20 off with voucher which is still valid plus the tesco points on the account. Ordered late one thursday night and picked up from store saturday evening.
Great service from tesco, regular emails and texts confirming progress.
Might have to wait a little for GPE in uk. No word yet.

handtec are selling the white one for £240

None of the GPE phones have come to the UK Play Store, so I wouldn't hold out for this one.

I picked up a white version from Tesco with the same £20 off. Missus has wrapped it now, but not before giving it a good 'test' .

I really hope Google sort it out and get the GPE phones and tablets out in Europe. My nexus 5 is great, I've always been a fan of stock android. Although LGs skinned version doesn't seem to bad on the G pad, I like the idea of tap tap too. May well get a V500...

Ive seen the Co-op with them and also Asda, as well as all the ones mentioned previously. I to am still praying that Google will release the GPE one in Europe, i would buy it in a flash.

Quite like the Asda deal, but can anyone tell me what the stock Android version is, and has there been any rumours about updates to 4.4?

4.2.2

I bought mine online as there is much more competition, bought for £221.95 from Simply Electronics. Cannot fault their service as the device came in 2 days, amazingly quick and a great device to match. Do not worry about buying products online, as they are exactly the same as in store, but cheaper. Yes you are waiting a few days, but wouldn't you rather save money? I know I would!

Qi charging not working on the T-Mo G3

Just what it says on the tin there. I have a Qi charger that I used with my Nexus 5 no problem, but it's not registering the G3. Is it temperamental with which ones it accepts, is there a setting I need, or what?

Not sure about the T-Mobile model, but I am pretty sure you need to buy a separate back cover that supports wireless charging. I have the AT&T version, which not only requires a $40 back cover, but also a PWA charger, as it doesn't support QI standard. Stinking greedy US carriers!

Oh I see. So it SUPPORTS Qi charging, but it doesn't have it right out of the box. Okay, little dishonest on their part, but I'll go with it.

There is a $10 option available for a QI/NFC sticker that should work for all but AT&T.

This has not been tested yet, but I have 2 on order for my sprint version.

They aren't being dishonest. The US LG site says Qi charging is optional and T-Mobile doesn't list it as a spec. After the global version had it, a lot of American websites came out saying it had it and didn't mention it was the International version which isn't really their fault either. Carriers making a deal to not allow wireless charging out of box on their phones isn't ethical business practice though, but LG isn't at fault there either.

Anyonr have which backs and chargers they r using I dont want to buy wrong one

Do the backs that support charging add much thickness to the phone? Are they high quality material?

F400 G3 OEM BACK DOES NOT WORK on US Models
I ordered the F400 on eBay. Mistake. It does not work with the US variant. They moved all 4 of the pins needed for NFC and charge and added a gap as some have pointed out already. But just explicitly letting you know the F400 back won't work with T-Mobile version. The $10 sticker on Ali Express seems like the way to go. Here is the link: http://goo.gl/3GlBju Type 1 is most common for US variants like the T-Mobile D851.

They are the exact same thickness as the stock battery cover. So zero added bulk and the feel is identical to the stock one.

Kind of. It's the cheapest, but it's guaranteed on time delivery from China is 39 days...

Can't find v20 accessories on lg website???

Am I missing something?? I figured that the phone's manufacturer would have a slew of model specific accessories shown on their own website, but I am not having any luck. I figured it was due to fact I was searching pre 10/28 launch date, but nothing has changed since.
Hoped it was mobile browser error, but get same results on PC.
AM I MISSING SOMETHING????
Did I get spoiled by Samsung?
Very few of top tiered accessory manufactures even have V20 listed on their website?????

Welcome to the stupidity!
Yes. Spoiled by Samsung. It's as if no other phones exist besides iPhone and Samsung. Of course I had a note 2 before my v10 and that was an accessory ghost town too since everything was about the "s" series back then.
I hope they get their act together and at least get the batteries and battery charging kits up soon! Makes no sense at all. The phone has been out for a while not counting the US.
Come on LG! Take our money!

It is my assumption that most of the spare battery kits on eBay are promo gifts that Korean owners have gotten.
Just like 256GB cards from note 7 flooded eBay.

Not true, 256GB cards are available for you to buy, they have been released by samsung a few months ago, and also the battery kit is also available as a standalone, you can buy it as special offer with purchase with the phone or on it's own at a slightly higher price. some countries has released them including Hong Kong.
I'm still considering whether to buy the battery kit.
Purchased with the phone USD 30
purchased alone USD 39

Starting to feel like second class citizen owning this phone due to lack of top tier accessory manufacturer offerings.
Just got put on hold and disconnected by LG customer service after asking why they had no V20 accessories on, or after launch day. She was probably too embarrassed to answer???

This is nothing new with LG & The North American market,been like this for years & apparently,not gonna change any time soon.
You'll have to scour sites such as e-Bay/Amazon/MobileFun/LG's sites in Korea/Hong Kong.
Sometimes,some OEM accessories become available in North America at a time well past launch,but,by that time,why bother....................

This must be your first LG. They are terrible at supporting their devices with accessories.

Correct. My now grown kids had LG flip models and the "shine"?
I have owned a multitude of smartphones HTC, Apple, Samsung, Palm, and Kyocera, but not one LG.
