As many people have started receiving this “monster” device (original thread – http://www.desidime.com/forums/hot-deals-online...), I would like to create a thread dedicated to LG Optimus E970 users. You can post reviews, queries, ROMs, hardware issues, accessories etc.
This thread should help me dimers 
I am able to create Mobile HotSpot successfully. Followed these steps mentioned on XDA:
Download Android SDK then make a folder on the root of your ‘c’ drive named android (mine is c:\androidSDK and is the path Ill use in this guide). Extract the contents of the zip file then navigate through the extracted file 1 level until you see the following files: add-ons, platforms, tools, SDK readme, and SDK setup. Copy all those files into the c:\androidsdk folder.
Connecting to and testing the ADB shell connection.
On your LGOG navigate to: settings>applications>developement and select usb debugging as this allows for the shell to interface with your phone. Plug in your epic with the usb cable provided with your phone and wait for drivers to load. Then on your computer hit start and type “cmd” (without quotes) in the search box (vista/7) or select run and type cmd (XP) then hit enter. You now have a virtual MS DOS window open type the following (each line is its own command and hit enter after typing each line):
cd\
cd androidSDK\sdk\platform-tools
adb devices
This should come up with your devices serial number and show that the connection is ready to be initiated.
Running the ADB shell
Make sure your phone is in USB debugging mode, connected to your pc and open a virtual dos window again: hit start and type “cmd” (without quotes) in the search box (vista/7) or select run and type cmd (XP) then hit enter. Type the following to enter the ADB shell (each line is its own command and hit enter after typing each line):
cd\
cd androidSDK\sdk\platform-tools
adb shell
You should now see a “$” (no quotes) and that signifies that you have the adb shell up and running.
Tethering :
With your rooted device, download SQLite Installer for Root from app store. Use the app to download the latest version of SQLite in the default place. The installer will be asking for root access, that’s fine.
1.This is important. Go into settings and try to turn on hotspot. It will check with AT&T and subsequently fail to enable.
2.With USB debugging on, plug the phone into your computer and go into the command line and start up adb shell. Once in the phone’s shell, type su and then open your phone to give it root access.
3.Type: cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
4.Type the following to open settings.db: sqlite3 settings.db
5.Type this query EXACTLY: update system set value=0 where name=‘tether_entitlement_check_state’;
6.Close sqlite by typing (there is a dot in front): .quit
7.Type ‘exit’ three times and close the shell
8.Restart the phone.
9.Try to turn on hotspot (or bluetooth tethering or USB tethering if you plug your phone in). You might get a warning about how tethering drains the battery, just ignore it and hit ok.
Hi guys, i will be getting this phone on Tuesday. Its my first android. I am having MBLAZE wireless broadband. Will i be able to use my net card in wi-fi router? If yes suggest any good devices. IS that device or net card should be connected to laptop to use the internet on mobile phone?
can anybody give review about http://www.empirecase.com/LG_Optimus_G_E970_Tou… this kinda case?
or should i go for simple case like http://www.empirecase.com/Optimus_G_E970_Black_… this?
how is the quality of empire case? I do not want to buy any high range dizanotrics. just it should not be of cheap quality.

Actually, I have not received the phone yet!! 
So at this moment I can not post pictures.
As soon as I get my hands with the device I am thinking for to open a tech thread here. But do not know how that will help my fellow dimers as tons of info are there in xda.
yet, if you face any difficulties write to me, will try to help.

Hi I am planing to buy LG Optimus G E970 model from US and on US address. I never did a purchase like this before. please help me to understand what all points need to be considered.
And if you feel, do tell me which is the best deal for direct purchase.
My queries are
1. Can we use Indian payment directly on Paypal using Indian credit card?
2. Is there any coupon for ebay.com which can help me to give some discount?
Will appreciate your time and response.
1. Yes, you can make payment using Indian Credit card.
2. No coupons are available for ebay.com
pls let me know whether I need to pay any EXTRA TAX or AMOUNT for purchasing and shipping any of the states in US or the ebay quoted rates will be final.
Thanks in advance
To change the DPI (screen resolution) just edit build.prop and find ro.sf.lcd_density and change it to required value. Do not use too low value.. try using 280 or 300. Works best.
Phone must be rooted to do this.
Changing DPI to too low may cause your phone to loop and Launcher may stop function.
May sure that you have backuped your ROM first

Nope. You don’t need to pay anything extra. Everything will be taken care by ICCWorld.

Bro, I tried it. The first option (E970 Original TeenyBin) didn’t worked then I tried Alternate one. It gets me to Recovery Mode. And “Team Win Recovery Project” got installed automatically. I tried searching for options n tried rebooting but didn’t helped. It is saying NO OS is Installed. I guess I swiped it. Now tell me how to install a fresh Operating System in the phone?? Wasted 6 hrs today, n in the end all is messed up. I really don’t know what to do in recovery Mode and in that Team Win Recovery Project Software. I got to know it can be used to install a Custom ROM. But How? I don’t know? Please help me ……………
The phone is also not Coming to Download Mode. So can’t connect to LGNPST too. Tell me what can be done now??
Thanks

Bro, I’m unable to enter in Download Mode. I tried 20 times, but no success. I guess because I wiped all source files ie. Operating System of phone. The only option left is install Operating System with TWRP, which I have no clue. Seaching on xDA
