[Sprint LG G2] HaiKaiDo:
I disagree about the CDMA bit, I have always had better battery life on GSM variants than the CDMA variant, how ever that was not my main point and shouldnt be focused solely upon. I never said that I had horrid battery life, so just like those people on Verizon I do get great battery life. My point was not that I have bad battery life, but not the miraculous battery life that some have reported. I have had this type of battery life since day 1. About 3 weeks ago I got this phone and for the first week and a half I did nothing other than sign into my gmail account. I honestly have noticed little to no difference in battery drain from that time to now. I dont use any news apps and I dont use any weather apps because those sync alot as well. As far as where I live and what my signal quality is obviously affects my battery life, but again I havnt honestly noticed a huge difference in battery drain. At home i have little to no signal, at work and college I have full lte. I spend 90% of my time (full days) at work and school and average (give or take an hour) about the same battery. So please dont misinterpret my words as "this phone and battery sucks" cause its simply not what i said ^_^

I usually refer people to this whenever I encounter the "cdma isnt a battery drainer"

[Sprint LG G2] dParis:
How much bloat does Sprint pack into this phone? Have you been able to delete or disable any of it and is any of it usefull?
[Sprint LG G2] bhake:
I assume it has 4.2.2 like the other variants? Curious why Sprint and Best Buy chose LGLS980KIT as their model number. There are articles saying it might get kit kat soon, but not out of the box, right?
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
There is no kit kat out of the box. You are just knit picking and overlooking things. It comes out with Android 4.2.2 just like the other sprint ones that people have had so far.
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
Mine has no sprint installed apps I thought it was wierd. Except for the voicemail app. Sucks the person i bought it from asked me to wait until this friday to activate it!!!!
[Sprint LG G2] dParis:
No Sprint iq, no Sprint TV? That is kind of weird, but good too, I suppose.
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
I was happy that none of the apps were installed but it could be because I got mine from an lg rep. Maybe the ones that others will get soon will have all of the bloat.
[Sprint LG G2] lastexile1987:
The phone does, at least mine did, come with some Sprint apps. Sprint zone, movies and tv, and sprint discovery. There were some more that I'm forgetting but they were there. For the most part they were easily disabled without root and once I got root they were good as gone.
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
that is so odd the one i have isnt branded for any carrier it has no carrier apps on it except the sprint voicemail app which is just called voicemail. PS what did you use to root yours i dont seem to be able to find any roots that currently support the ls 980 version
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
You must have a training unit so that is why it doesn't have the carrier branding stuff but trust me that what lastexile1987 phone has with Sprint Zone, Sprint TV and Movies, etc is what all retail Sprint customers will get with their phone.
[Sprint LG G2] lil_jimmy_norton:
Kit just designates that it comes with all applicable accessories (charger, Sim card, ext).

This differentiates it from an insurance or AE replacement unit.
[Sprint LG G2] uToTMeH8:
Mine has no bloat but on sprint.com it says LG G2-preorder.
[Sprint LG G2] ghostcamed302:
I went back to my defender case because of working more outside to clean up brush and don't want to hurt my note 2 but the stock battery gets me through a day, so far i've had it off charger this morning at 9am ish and i'm at 47% at 11.27pm so its not that bad, all be i'm on wifi at home and sucky 3g where and sometimes very slow 4g data. I think the combination of the newer snapdragon processor and its battery saving stuff and etc. vs the exynos 4412 that i have now. But i have not streamed as much music, watched youtube, or surfed the web like i did when i had the zerolemon battery but then again i have a new laptop to use now..... yay haha
[Sprint LG G2] lastexile1987:
I used this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448887

It doesn't have the SPR version listed but it worked.

I first used the Vroot method, big mistake apparently.

Wiped my phone and ran the method I mentioned above. Just read through the instructions and it worked.

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

BTW...Mine didn't come with any carrier markings on the outside either (which I like).

Just has LG markings, ESN and some model and FCC info.
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
I'll give it a shot later today thanks. I keep asking the devs to create a sprint section for us but I get no response.
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Sprint hasn't been slapping its logo on its LTE phones for awhile now. So don't assume you don't have the Sprint model. If you look at the back of the phone for the model number, as long as it says LS980, you have the Sprint model.
[Sprint LG G2] Darryjr:
I have the sprint variant as well, no problem with my connections, however, I get hissing, crackling, and a occasional squeal through my earpiece during a call. Any audio is fine, just when on a call. I have read a lot of Verizon g2s are having this issue, any thoughts?
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
i dont think there really is a solution at the moment i havent activated mine yet so i cant report if im also having that issue i figured i would need to wait until friday to activate it
[Sprint LG G2] Darryjr:
I received mine on Monday and activated it, you can call sprint right now and activate and start enjoying this beast.
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
i didnt think they had even shipped yet i had mine last thursday ( bought it from a sprint employee) but i still have not activated it
[Sprint LG G2] Darryjr:
My wife received 2 from someone who knows someone who knows someone, you know had that goes, but you can use it. Hopefully you won't have hiss issue, my wife's is fine. Like I said hopefully it gets resolved, so many Verizon users are suffering from it now, that's why I figured trying to get another would be useless, thinking same would happen again since that's what I see on the Verizon forum. Let me know how it goes once activated.
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
yea ill come back in and update when i can speak on it
[Sprint LG G2] ajamer:
In general, do you guys think that the sprint version will see versions of all the popular roms. My device is the HTC Evo LTE which is a variant of the ONE X and there was some major device changes (sd card) If theyre all pretty similar, usually its just an additional carrier zip to flash right?

Development is my biggest concern with going for sprint nexus 5 vs sprint LG g2. The nexus is the same device across most carriers simplifying development
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
I think your right for example the root method for the other carriers works on the sprint version of the g2. I traded in my evo LTE to move up to the g2 as well.
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Yes I believe that Sprint will see versions of all the popular ROMs. The ATT, Tmobile and Sprint models are very similar so I don't see an issue for the developer to easily port those ROMs onto the Sprint version. It is all a matter of the developer having the Sprint model of the device especially if they are an ATT or Tmobile subscriber. Either way they will publish a beta and those with Sprint phones will give it a try. I wouldn't worry about not having developer support. Remember that the phone hasn't officially launched which is why XDA still hasn't created a Sprint Android Development subforum yet. Once that happens, development will begin.
[Sprint LG G2] lastexile1987:
Yeah I wasn't worried or anything. That's a plus for me not to have the carrier logos on a device companies go to great lengths to make good looking.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

I saw your topic but haven't gone in to bump it or +1. I'll go do that now. I think it's because technically none of us should even have the phone yet so they don't see the point of adding it yet. Sucks but that's what I assume.
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
Yea i agree thats prolly the reason why. Would be nice to start putting stuff together that people can use once they get thier phones.
[Sprint LG G2] lastexile1987:
I was finally able to find your thread cuz I wanted to +1 it but then saw it was locked.

Went to that thread that was linked and saw it was 143 pages long! I kind of have a feeling our requests will get lost in there :(
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
Its all good i put a request in to have the device added once a day ill link u the thread.

LG G2 will need a software update to enable Spark frequencies

Hello everyone

Just to let you know, LG G2 will need a software update in the future that will enable Spark frequencies. Changing the settings in the hidden menus with the MSL may not get you the desired affect as the limitation is deeper. There is a plan is in place to remedy that soon. Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] Univsoldur:
LTE

Arent we supposed to be getting some kind of update for LTE today?
[Sprint LG G2] TechNinja49:
Are you speculating or do know for sure? Could you post a source? I think enabling the additional bands alone should be enough to get a noticeable speed increase.
[Sprint LG G2] uniquenameevo:
Just activated mine. Unfortunately, my office is a black hole where cell signals go to die.

I'm excited to see what my LTE coverage is compared to the iphone5.
[Sprint LG G2] fatboypup:
Not sure if i got an update or not the best buy guy was handsy during the activation
[Sprint LG G2] uniquenameevo:
Same as here fatboy.
[Sprint LG G2] omegafiler:
Nope, exact same as my Sprint LG G2 I've had for the past 2 weeks, which hasn't had any updates. Hopefully soon...
[Sprint LG G2] lastexile1987:
HAHA this can really be taken out of context lol
[Sprint LG G2] uniquenameevo:
Oops ;)

Side note...not one glimmer of LTE is pissing me off. I spent 45 minutes on different calls with Sprint when I found that I could pre-order @ BB for half the price to no avail. I decided it wasn't worth my time, but now I am not happy. I paid an extra $100-$150 depending on how you look at it for a launch day delivery of something that isn't working as it should. Called my local Sprint store, they say they haven't seen an issue with LTE in store.

Seriously tempting to return and get it from BB. I am going international in a week and I bet they won't unlock such a new phone, another drawback. I do love the phone so far, just wish my extra cash wasn't turning into a waste.
[Sprint LG G2] lastexile1987:
Have you checked the UICC card to make sure it is on the account. There are times when the UICC card is not properly programmed to the account and you will have CDMA 3g and voice but no LTE. Once it is on the account properly...POOF LTE
[Sprint LG G2] uniquenameevo:
I was poking around and couldn't find anything other than UICC unlock. I did a self activate, is that my issue? I hate calling in, but I will if needed.
[Sprint LG G2] lastexile1987:
You will probably need to call in. Just pop the UICC card, I assume thats the slot and small hole on the side of the phone and just give them the number on it. If they say anything other than it was already on there you should be good. If that doesn't work you can try pressing ##72786# although be warned this might wipe your phone. might...

EDIT: press ##72786# in the dialer
[Sprint LG G2] uniquenameevo:
A. You rock

B. I still called...f'ing LTE is down in my area...today. Just my luck.
[Sprint LG G2] hotbbq:
Picked up one today at BB. I had LTE when I walked outside. No problems so far with connectivity. I am a little annoyed that using Nova Launcher I can't have transparent soft-keys.
[Sprint LG G2] lastexile1987:
Once you get your phone rooted there is a method in...I believe g2 development, it's a xposed module that will let you het it transparent no matter what launcher you use. works well. I just went ahead and am using PIE since I want ALL the screen space.
[Sprint LG G2] hotbbq:
I'm guessing we have to wait for Sprint specific root/recoveries?
[Sprint LG G2] lastexile1987:
Not necessarily.

I used the method in the android development section that is meant for other carrier version and it worked for me. Some people have used a method "kingo".

From what I've heard just stay away from the Vroot method. There is supposed to be some chinese spyware risk or something.
[Sprint LG G2] uniquenameevo:
Went to the corp store near me. The no LTE fix was so easy! Take away connections optimizer and it worked!
[Sprint LG G2] lastexile1987:
Connection optimizer was doing it? Interesting. I'll remember that for the future. That thing has been nothing but a nuisance.

Whenever I activate a phone I always turn it off as a rule of my own

How do get the ##Data# enable?
[Sprint LG G2] Fedtheincred:
Can some one please post instructions on obtaining MSL. I can't find a way for the life of me. Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Call Sprint to obtain the MSL. The MSL reader apps on the Play Store no longer work. Just tell Sprint that you are having issues with data connection and that you need your MSL.
[Sprint LG G2] Fedtheincred:
Thanks a lot. Will do in the morning.
[Sprint LG G2] Big Boy Laroux:
For those of you that picked up your phone yesterday, can you confirm mic placement? Is there one on the back?

I'm wanting to buy a case, to arrive at the same time as my phone - but want to make sure there's not some weird mic hole the case manufacturer didn't include.

As far as I know - the sprint and T-Mobile variants should be identical in physical form, correct?
[Sprint LG G2] vincey2kr1:
I've got a white sprint one and there is no mic on the back, it's at the top.
[Sprint LG G2] hotbbq:
Ditto for black.
[Sprint LG G2] uniquenameevo:
Yea, it sucks...I haz zero sprint bloat on my phone until I activated. Wish I could have kept it that was. CO, ID, etc need to get off my phone and stop wasting memory :)

line cseopi

Anyone find a way to unlock this phone? currently out of the country, I put the SIM card in, it installs the local carrier's app, but it won't ever get signal. It looks to be unlocked already because it never asks for an unlock code.
[Sprint LG G2] dribbs1:
SIM comes locked. You can try calling Sprint Customer Care to ask them to unlock, but IIRC there is a 60 or 90 day period that you have to wait after you activate any handset in order to request a SIM unlock.
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
I was expecting their SIM to be locked, but I'm talking about a local brazilian SIM I put in, if it were locked, I would think it would ask for a Unlock code like the other versions, but it doesn't it installs the local carriers apk and even asks for a PIN number from the sim card, it just won't pick up any signal, I am thinking that something is blocking the phone from picking up GSM signals, even though the phone is capable of doing so.
[Sprint LG G2] KB112:
Perhaps changing the mobile settings to the one that says GSM/UMTS or Global? I've never tried to use a SIM, just tossing an idea out there.
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
Thank you for replying :) I have been researching sprint unlocks for the past week now, and from what I've found out so far, Sprint unlocks the phone by sending an OTA updates to the phones, now, people have found workarounds for this for most of the Sprint GSM capable phones, like the HTC/SGS4 etc... I hope that soon there will be a workaround for the LG, as it is an amazing phone, and yeah I've tried the Global settings thing, and it doesn't work, it recognizes the SIM is in there, it just never get's the signal, which makes me think that the OTA update sprint sends is just it unlocking the GSM radio on the phone to accept the signal.
[Sprint LG G2] fatboypup:
Best buy just showed it on tv for $49 gonna go try to get my 50 dollars back tomorrow.
[Sprint LG G2] Big Boy Laroux:
They had been running a deal that it is $49 with trade-in of your current phone. So may not be $49 straight up.
[Sprint LG G2] csansom:
OK, so I enabled both of them and I noticed a HUGE difference. What did I notice right off the bat? All the audio from my phone sounds like garbage. The built in player, Google Music, Pandora, all stuttering and playing out of phase, just terrible. Went back in and turned off both bands again and got my sound back. I'll wait for the Spark software update.

Hey all, mods please delete my other thread as this will sum it up..

Hey devs, I'm facing a strange issue, really strange, I've been flashing roms for 2 years and never faced anything like this..:

It's all about the power button.. whenever I hold it, it doesn't show the options "reboot, turn off, airplane mode".. NO, it just turns off immediately..

The other strange thing:

If I turned screen off, it doesn't even make the sound "tick", and even if I put a password or any lock likd "slide" it doesn't make any affect.. screen is all open..

What the heck is wrong with my phone? Is it a curse :eek:

Huh. No, it doesn't.

I never noticed, I always have system volume turned off because the power fluctuates here just enough to keep triggering the sensor, and on my S3 it kept making a bloody racket every other few minutes. Very irritating.

Turned it up, but no, it doesn't make a sound. Just vibrates.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Those sound files are only there because Samsung did a lazy copy of the generic sound files they use in their nature ux theme. They just copied them all instead of deleting the ones they didn't use in the Note 3.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontysoper:
Hi,

Something which might help is an application in the Play Store called Light Flow (allows you to set all things colour, sound and vibration for events which occur). The fee-based version has a 'Charging' notification which will play a sound when you connect your charger (just tested it and it works). Perhaps check out the Lite version first and see if you like it and/or it has this option for free!

But just let me add... I used to like this app but I don't use it any more. I had to remove it from my S2 because of a talkback issue. Now with the Note 3 there seems to be issues with the LED light not working as it should when the app is enabled. You also have to inspect each event (e.g. SMS, etc) and make sure what you had on before the app was insalled is still on (the app only has a certain number enabled by default and overides stock alerts).

Hope this helps.

Jonty.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hildc:
Hello,

I'm planning to buy a new pocket pc, my choice would be the qtek9100 or the qtek2020i. I've spend a lot of time reading and comparing, and need to know some information from the people who own a qtek9100.

1) Is the qtek9100 able to playback mp3 and run tomtom5 at the same time? I'm asking this because of the omap 850 (ti) cpu and the 64 mb internal memory, I know the omap has a different architecture then the xscale (intel) cpu and can not be compared butt when I use the device in my car I want it to be able to playback mp3 and show navigation at the same time.

3) Is it possible to use skype? Because the minimum requirments of skype is based on 400mhz intel cpu, I don't know how much the omap scores on the intel mhz scale.

2) Is it possible to playback video, without dropping frames?

I have serious doubts about the performace of the 9100 for the things I want to use the device. Any comments from owners would be welcome.

Does anyone know if its possible to put wm5 on qtek2020i? I tought I had read that wm5 is universal and works on any pda, just a matter of drivers.

Greetz
