Oh wow seriously, maybe stop banging head so it works better. And actually had already tried both of those options to screenshot, but it is NOT working, not sure if it is because it is a beta phone or what the issue is, but I have emails into the beta support guys. And actually I was very much hoping to like this phone. So on with playing with the phone and maybe will write more later so you can berate me some more and feel more superior.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Epix4G:
Maybe more info would have been helpful....i must have missed the part about you trying different ways huh...or was that the part where women expect men to read their minds.

The on screen buttons are like that.

Even the s5 doesn't have a menu button its got recent apps

Maybe a iPhone is more for you siri can read minds in ios8

well u got the beta model so thanks for beta testing
[T-Mobile LG G3] jhill110:
Sorry bout that Navymom... You didn't deserve it. Lots of that around here these days.

Anyway, keep it up. I was ready to get the N5 with my upgrade this month but after the unveiling I'm thinking about the G3. The more info I get the more patient I become.

Thanks for the info
[T-Mobile LG G3] partylikeaninjastar:
Dude, what's your problem? All he did was post his first impression of the phone. Calm down.

As someone who's looking to this phone very much, I value EVERY opinion on it. Keep in mind, not all opinions will be the same so don't attack someone for having one different than yours..

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

Wait for it. I got the N5 in January and I'm ready to jump on the G3 as soon as I get a chance.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
For those who already have the G3 on T-Mobile, where did you purchase the phone and which version did you buy?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Jammol:
Is available for t-mobile yet. You can purchase the Groupon f400s model and it should work on t-mobile but there will be lte issues.
[T-Mobile LG G3] MDANavymom:
I have a T-mobile LG G3, but I am a "Beta Sweepstakes" winner, have heard it will be on sale mid to late July through T-Mobile
[T-Mobile LG G3] MDANavymom:
Okay so today is day 3 with new phone, and just let me preface this with, this is NOT a professional review, it may or may not suit you, but this is my use of the phone, what I need in a phone and just MY general likes and dislikes. Also after a quick update yesterday I was able to get my screenshots to work. So here goes

Battery life, not too bad but have only gone through 2 cycles of charging. Yesterday ran screen at 75% most of the day at 100% for half hour or so, (outside viewing is somewhat better than Note3) screenshots below of the battery screens. Will try and get screenshots of outside, but it's been storming here for last two days, so that will wait.

First thing...hate the home screen, but that is just me, icons I can live with but the clock and weather, is too flat, like an old cartoon or stick figure drawing, so that had to go, also you get the home screen plus two other screens to scroll through...but if you disable the Smart Bulletin with LG Health and Smart Tips, you only get two screens...yeah I see a new launcher being installed soon to fix that. Also on a side note, if you disable Smart Bulletin....LG Health disappears, and no it is not in the app drawer, nor does it have it's own widget. So still trying to figure out how to fix that. Also another quirk...there is no widget for just the Smart Cards, the only way to get them is to take the ugly clock and weather with it as it is all one widget.

Speed seems just as fast as the Note 3 maybe more so, but that could be not all my apps are loaded. I have lots of apps opened at same time, no slow downs, I'm not a gamer, so can't help those who need that information.

Overall I am liking this phone. Some reviews I have read are saying it may be too big for some and could be an issue, I guess if you are coming from a toy iPhone yeah, but coming from a Note 3...no, actually have almost dropped it several times because it feels too small and getting use to back buttons etc, and the back to me seems a bit slippery, but that is just me. Also have issue with screenshot using back buttons, with smaller hands it's harder to do the two button press. But overall the size is not too big, I will say with the curving it does make it easier to hold than the Note 3.

I am waiting for a new stylus to arrive to see how well it does with note taking, since that is a huge part of my usage. And will be glad when there are cases available for this, feel so unprotected without one
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
Thanks for the review.

It was interesting.

There are plenty of cases available on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...ld-keywords=lg+g3+case&hasWorkingJavascript=1
[T-Mobile LG G3] MDANavymom:
Yeah, I dug out a slip wallet wristlet to use until I can get a true QuickCircle Case.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
dont worry i will hate g3's ui when i get it but we will have an aosp build pretty soon
[T-Mobile LG G3] MDANavymom:
Have been trying to just use with stock features, other than my apps, but I think that will change soon, only two "homescreens" is a bit lame, I prefer Apex Pro. Would be nice to have an unbloated rom, I think it would have a better battery and be a bit faster.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
there will be a lot of those roms but in the mean time i will try to customize touchwiz to my liking..a dark ui would be nice..u could just get a system uninstaller app and get rid of those unwanted apps that u have on ur phone
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
Sounds good to me :D

What about bootloader?
[T-Mobile LG G3] wase4711:
Thats the $64,000 dollar question, isn't it?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
yep :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
what about s5..g2..s4..etc? they are all unlocked that shouldnt be a problem
[T-Mobile LG G3] Epix4G:
Totally different phones have no say on whether or not this bootloader will be locked.... No one has the phone yet to even try to get recovery yet. .. Until some devs get the phone its all just speculation

[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
diff phones but same method..i wouldnt worry about it
[T-Mobile LG G3] Epix4G:
The g2 had a locked bootloader and they used loki to bypass the locked bootloader. ... But loki has been patched so now they downgrade the aboot to one that still has the loki exploit. ... And then they can put custom recovery on. ... That said this phone never had a aboot that had the loki exploit not patched. .. In the

G3 this phone has aboot and abootf ... so 2 bootloaders and some devs that really know need to get this to look at it hard ...

But this is Also the G3 Korean model not the us so until someone who won the tmobile phone can get adb and pull the system we won't know

This is directions for dumping system using adb ...

yeah i know..im sure someone will be able to bypass it and make a working recovery..i remember they took like 3 weeks after the s5 release to unlock the bootloader and make a custom recovery
[T-Mobile LG G3] wase4711:
it took almost 6 months to do it with the Flex, so hopefully it wont be a repeat of that..
[T-Mobile LG G3] Epix4G:
At the very least we will have root because of io root and towelroot ... so to hold us over until we get recovery we will have xposed and such...it could be worse I had evo 3d that took months to root and get s off. ...

This is a tmobile thread...
[T-Mobile LG G3] jeyd02:
Apparently there was a root release that was supposedly to work with all the lg variants.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Epix4G:

I only saw Navymom and some tx guy but didn't see if they rooted.... And the beta phone could be very different from what they release .... They will most definitively update software before release

Yea I know. But at least I'm sure we have a hard root proof for the upcoming US Variants. These devs are awesome.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
so if they had root then they already unlocked the bootloader
[T-Mobile LG G3] Epix4G:
No you don't need unlocked bootloader to have root. ..2 totally different things

[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
u need to have it unlocked or else it will either fail to flash..fail to boot..or worse brick the phone..if they can gain root then that means tmobile does not have bootloader locked
[T-Mobile LG G3] jeyd02:
That is not quite right my friend. You can have root but still having not access to bootloader.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
not really..if the bootloader is locked u can not root or flash new rom..If it is unlocked then u can flash recovery through bootloader..in order to have root access u first have to unlock the booloader
[T-Mobile LG G3] jeyd02:
For flashing recoveries yes you need unlocked bootloader, but not necessarily for Root. There certains other ways to gain root access by not only flashing...

is it possible?

Is it possible to replace some files in Stock tot firmware?

Is it possible to put rooted system.img into tot format firmware, replace the orginal files?

If i got a rooted system.img, is it possible to split inito *.bin files and then replace relace *.bin files in the stock tot firmware with winhex?

Hi, Thanks, !
[T-Mobile LG G3] Jfree3000:
The wait is killing me, there will be so many phones released after the g3 like the note 4 and z3. Hurry up July.
[T-Mobile LG G3] 20degrees:
Tbh, the wait for me is killing them. It's like they keep teasing us with this and giving no info for a release. Like Duke Nukem. And people hated that when it finally dropped. Maybe lg is worried many will dislike it?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Jfree3000:
That's what I'm saying, they planned this state side release at a very poor time. Good analogy with Duke Nukem lol, they should have done a world wide release of they want to compete with the big boys. In all honesty I know July is around the corner but this wait is pushing me to wait for Sony.

Unless the note 4 is some ground breaking phone I'll wait for the z3, or by then the g3 might be on sale [emoji58]
[T-Mobile LG G3] Epix4G:
They say note 4 is going to be 805 or exynos and qhd screen also.... so not a huge upgrade

Sent from my SM-G900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[T-Mobile LG G3] JesseMT4G:
Not a huge upgrade? I thought was all the jazz now with the bigger processor, which supposedly will help battery performance. I'd say if that's true, will be huge.
[T-Mobile LG G3] jeyd02:
Well me something that would be a huge upgrade RIGHT NOW.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
The forthcoming Tab S already has a clue: octa-core processor.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Epix4G:
There were already octa core phones the exynos have been already and according to rumors the note 4 exynos chip will be 64 bit ....

http://www.fool.com/investing/gener...g-galaxy-note-4-could-be-the-first-64-bi.aspx

That would be a big upgrade but would actually pretty much suck for the first couple months as you would have to deal with app incompatibility

Sent from my SM-G900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
This reminded me the days of AMD 64bit processors running on 32bit XP.

The pain of compatibility lasted until Windows 7 released (Vista had pretty low adoption rate).

Similar 32bit to 64bit transition fiasco will happen on iOS 8 and Android 5.0.

However, once transition to 64bit done, we may see datacenter level RAM (32GB or higher RAM).
[T-Mobile LG G3] Pheno.menon:
Latest rumors point to a June 29th release date for t-mo? Thought it was going to be later in July..?

How long can we have the device until we have to take it back in case we don't like it? And how much is the restock fee for T-Mobile?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Slash8915:
Unofficially. I'd still like T-mobile to make an announcement.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Aegyo:
14-days from a retail store or 20 days from the date you receive it via a phone or internet order. There's a $50 restocking fee for smartphones.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Colchiro:
Verizon is 14 days, but only $35 restocking fee.

[T-Mobile LG G3] rushless:
Odd they list 2GB ram when LG did not mention a 2/32 model at their product launch event. Maybe that is the exclusive afterall? That is "exclusive", but not in the way usually expected.
[T-Mobile LG G3] cheapshot789:
2gb was typo its 3gb they are updating it
[T-Mobile LG G3] jeyd02:
Now, how do you know that?
[T-Mobile LG G3] rushless:
Not long to find out. Some have called and gone into stores and told the 2/32 is correct, but they are probably referring to the same spec sheet that we have seen. :silly:
[T-Mobile LG G3] JesseMT4G:
He talked to customer care. Saw his other post. Its the 3/32 version. Pretty awesome price! Gonna wait till it hits stores and test it out myself. Love my flex, minus couple small issues. Biggest one is its size and have a new job were I need a smaller phone. Don't want to go to small though.

Color Option

Which color are you guys going with the white or the black one?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Slash8915:
Black. I refuse to ever get a white phone after I had one turn yellowish within a few months.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Aegyo:
hmm.. that only seems to happen to matte finish phones. Glossy/smooth ones keep their color.
[T-Mobile LG G3] jimsond:
I am going with black!

White! So tired of black phones.

No JUMP upgrade available? I can preorder but using JUMP to preorder isnt an option. I guess I'll just have to wait until it comes out.

Just ordered mine.

Expected delivery 7/8/2014.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Slash8915:
How? They aren't even supposed to ship out until 7/15
[T-Mobile LG G3] aka757:
I ordered mine yesterday morning (before 7 AM Central), and my estimated delivery date is 7/1 (today). Obviously that date is wrong, but as long as i get the phone when all the preorders ship, i don't care what date they show. The problem is that when I click on the check my order status link in the confirmation email, it says it's not a valid order number. I'm not sure what is going on, but I hope the order actually went through and I don't have to preorder again for some reason. I'm going to call them today and find out.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
They might not know about this :D

That is called "preorder".

Not that I care much, I sm out of the country anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G3] witeboy07:
Thanks for the update guys. Ordered mines this morning. Hope when I get home from Florida Vacation my phone will be waiting.
[T-Mobile LG G3] npaladin2000:
Just ordered one last night, actually said estimated ship date of 7/2, which can't be accurate.

Figure I'm due to try T-Mobile again, between WiFi calling and the fact that they deployed LTE up by me, finally,maybe coverage woes with them have been reasonably solved. Besides, really tiring of AT&T's (lack of) audio quality.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheFuzz:
I just ordered using my Jump upgrade! It did not work yesterday but it's up and running as of today!

Estimated delivery is July 9th? Ordered black. Email confirmation sent already. Price was only $3.00 more a month than my G2.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hello00:
so no payment up front?
[T-Mobile LG G3] wase4711:
If your credit is good, there is no up front payment at TMO..
[T-Mobile LG G3] jimmydee62:
I'm getting mine from T-Mobie around 7/15/2014. Already did the pre-order yesterday and like all my phones purchased out right for $598.00 which is better then the $660.00 I paid for the Galaxy S-5 that I gave to my wife. So the way I see it a win, win situation. I just wish it was sooner so I could play with it.

I just ordered mine from T-Mobile and it is the 32gb with 3gb. of ram, and microsd slot.

Negative. No up front. Taxes and shipping only. Which on a side note, why do they charge shipping? I hate to say but Verizon ships free 2nd day
[T-Mobile LG G3] wase4711:
they might have waived it if you asked..if you're a good customer, you can try calling them and asking for a credit..

do you live too far from a store to just pick it up there?
[T-Mobile LG G3] IXChicharitoXI:
Is it possible to pre order it at a store?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Aegyo:
depends on whether T-Mo is running a promo or not on shipping, sometimes they'll have free shipping on smartphones
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
I just placed my pre-order for the G3 on T-Mobile. Pretty pumped about it after the OnePlus One fiasco of getting an invite, placing my order, then getting a run around and told that my phone "might" ship on the 9th (10 days after it was initially supposed to). After getting sick of the B.S. I spent more time researching the LG G3 and it just seems to be a much better fit for me. Especially because I could make great use of Wifi Calling, which the OnePlus One won't have.

Anyway, I have one question: I have 2 wireless chargers that I currently use with my Nexus 5. I'd like to continue using them with the LG G3. If I read correctly, the T-Mobile version of the G3 won't come standard with wireless charging. Does anyone have any input on where to buy the required back plate for wireless charging?
[T-Mobile LG G3] wase4711:
I know its been discussed alot in the "main" G3 thread..
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
Ebay has some.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Slash8915:
$160 for the back cover and charger? No thanks... I'll just plug it in. Not to mention those covers look "plasticy" and totally ruin the look of the G3 IMO.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Epix4G:
The circle case is like 60 from lg the other hard back is like 45 or so but just give it a little time and there will be others on eBay cheaper just like the qi chargers

The LG charger is 100 bucks. The cover is 50 bucks. Unless you buy a knockoff you will be paying 50 bucks for an OEM back from LG.

In a few days I plan on upgrading to this device - I do not have JUMP - I just have had service since November and paid off enough of my Nexus 5 device to upgrade as my equipment limit is 720.00, so I was told.

Phone looks fantastic - I was going to get a OnePlus One, but, I have waited over 2.5 months on their forum and I figure it is time to move on...

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

I saw that T Mobile is not listing the complete specs after screwing them up before.

LG has stated that there are two variants:

3GB RAM/32GB ROM

2GB RAM/16GB ROM

Nice to see we are getting the 3GB RAM variant...

I found a nice flip case on Amazon for around 12.00, including shipping...

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

Is the bootloader unlocked already or is it easy to unlock like many of the T-Mobile devices?

Towel Root to root?

I am looking forward to seeing what comes out for kernels and ROMs for this device....

Anyone planning to just use it as is for a few days before flashing something different onto it?
[T-Mobile LG G3] npaladin2000:
Thing about T-Mobile, using a custom ROM eliminates the possibility of using WiFi calling, at least so far anyway. Since I use my phone as my primary line, I might need that for indoor coverage.

It'd be awfully nice if someone figured out how to add support for that into custom ROMs. Hint. Hint. :D
[T-Mobile LG G3] shook187:
It could be done, because I see it all the time on HTC and Samsung ROMs. Unfortunately LG isn't as popular so will lack development and most likely if you want any ROMs you going to have to choose a international ROM which of course will lack WiFi calling.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
Depends on when you gonna come home :)

Got email from tmo today saying that the item is backordered and they don't know when it will be shipped.
[T-Mobile LG G3] luigi311:
International roms still have the possibility of including WiFi calling, at least on the HTC side it's not just limited to tmobiles developers
[T-Mobile LG G3] xSunny:
Can't wait til this phone launches, I'm gonna wait til release to just walk into a store and pick it up so much easier!

Darn. Tmobile just sent me the backorder text. Hope it's just for holding until July 15.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheFuzz:
Got the same message this morning. I'm guessing it's only because they screwed up the ship date originally by saying it would ship July 9th

Anyone hear when T-Mobile will be selling the quick circle? I don't want to get an imcompatible qi version on eBay.

[T-Mobile LG G3] networkdood:
No...this did happen with at&t customers... The issue is being overblown because some people just pay their bill with double checking it. I mean if you go to a grocery store you would check the receipt to ensure you were not double scanned or to make sure that the prices did not ring up at a higher price....
