Just curious, have a reference link? Would like to know the details of the announcement. Development hardware, or software, or both?

Maybe not completely ditched, since evidence shows many have the connector and possible wiring.

Not sure what to say about flex and g3 then if they too have this same connector.

Anyway, once i get my hands on a parts g2/flex, ill hardwire the interface and hopefully draw some more conclusions.

Also confirming that my D802T (sometimes referred to as D802TA) which is exclusive to Australia does have the 11-pin socket.

I have had a response: ' We do not have the part yet, we are trying to acquire it though. Please check back again. Thank You '
[G2 General] 1branchonthevine:
Thanks everyone for keeping this conversation alive!

I have not had any positive hits from suppliers, all have said they are looking into it, but few have gotten back. This was expected and warned by many, but hopefully we haven't given up yet.

I'm still trying to acquire an affordable ($60 or less) semifunctional g2 or flex (bad esn, or cracked but preferably functional touch screen, or the like), so that i can hardwire the 3.0 interface. I have been searching on ebay and craigslist for a while now, with no luck, guess i'm just too cheap. If anyone has one that they are willing to sell cheap, let me know. I have years of professional and certified soldering skills, so it wont be handed over in vane, i will get it soldered and tested! If you want to loan a parts g2 out and get it back, i have no problem working something out.

Has anyone been able to probe around in system to determine if there are any usb 3.0 related drivers/handlers/dmsg/etc? Sorry, hardware i can handle, but 1st tier software stuffs are above my pay grade.

Thanks all!
[G2 General] 1branchonthevine:

I finally have a G2 for testing, paid more than i wanted, but it was brand new w/cracked screen, so an easier sell when I'm done testing.

The model i obtained for testing is the Verizon model, i realize this was probably a poor choice, since Verizon has a tendency to force OEM's to turn features off, if could even remotely hinder their over-priced data and dollar suck machine. Usb 3.0 is faster than 2.0, and it might make people use less data according to verizons master formula, so we will see if it scared them to leave it enabled.

Fortunately the 11pin connector and filter components are present, so it looks like a go. Now just waiting on usb 3.0 cables and such to get here direct from china. Should have forked out the extra $1 and bought in the states.

Anyhoo, will keep you all posted on the Verizon G2 results. Please start thinking of questions during test, because i do not yet know what/where/how to probe around in the system, beyond plug and play that is. I am teachable though ;D

MTP USB device fails to install on USB3.0 port

Sorry this is a bit O/T... but is anyone else having this issue whenever you connect the G2 to a USB3.0 port and then select "LG Software" from the G2 USB connection popup? I get a Windows 7 status message that says "Device driver software was not successfully installed" (MTP USB Device Failed)

I still get USB access to the G2 through Windows Explorer, but it cannot connect to the LG PC Suite software.

I don't have this issue when connected to my USB2.0 ports.

I did solve this a few months back... but can't for the life of me remember what I did to fix it :(

Any Progress here?

Gesendet von meinem LG-D802
[G2 General] 1branchonthevine:
Thanks for pinging me on the progress... i have all the parts to make a test rig, but with my part time job going to fulltime, redoing our kitchen before my wife explodes, and raising a kiddo, this has been a busy past few months. I hope to start up before the end of august when work will likely go back to part-time, and hopefully the kitchen becomes semifunctional again, then i will be allowed to play with my toys again.

As always, the efforts to finally access the LG proprietary port natively would be a plus, we could really use a few patient eyes to scan the interwebs for a connector. Thanks everyone for all your help and keeping me accountable for testing the interface!
[G2 General] 1branchonthevine:
Since i have been swamped lately with work, house projects, and family, we could all benefit from some extra patient eyes; to scan the web for the proprietary native connector in the LG flagship series phones.

Here are some search expressions i have used in the past with some success:

Lg 11-pin connector

G2 or flex or G3 usb 3.0

Lg usb 11 pin

4k slimport

Lg 4k

11-pin micro usb -mhl ("minus mhl" because not compatible)

4k usb 3.0

Lg 3.0 micro usb

4k micro usb -mhl

Try a search on ebay.com, google.com (images tab search is useful), alibaba.com, and other asian parts retailer search engines. I believe the phone is made in korea, so it might be best to look for korean based suppliers. Also check lg website news section for 4k slimport headlines, since 4k will require usb 3.0 and the extra pins from the phone.

Thanks and good luck!
[G2 General] 1branchonthevine:
Forum's not dead folks...

So right when i was about to hardwire an ugly micro USB 3.0 harness to the lg g2, i did another last chance search for a genuine mate for our g2's, no luck, but i did see one solution that may work.

The htc amaze/evo view/rezound/flyer all use a proprietary 12 pin htc connector called the ExtMicro USB connector. Hell, why not, samsung has their own proprietary 11 pin mhl, lg their own 11 pin slimport too, so why not have htc have a stab at a 12 pin mhl too? They're all pricks as far as i'm concerned, this is why the industry made an alliance for port standardization, i guess since apple enjoys being a rebel, the rebellion is creeping into other manf now...

Anyway, just a recap, well we all know the samsung connector is out as a hot swappable connector, but the htc looks like it will mate up to the lg g2 board solder layout, so great news!

Unfortunately lg doesn't want to speed along with support for their own connector, so i bought the htc connector to swap with my lg. Lets give it a try, should be in my hands in a week or so. Sorry for the wait all!

Again, why even do all this in the first place, becaise lg seems ro be the only manf hiding usb 3.0 in their own proprietary connector, that has multiple purposes, 4k slimport to hdmi, usb 3.0 otg (fast ssd, flash card access), and possibly even faster charging. Go lg!

Want to try this mod yourself too?

For the htc extmicro board connector, search ebay for "htc (view,rezound,amaze,flyer) usb" in phone parts category

For the extmicro mate, do not buy the oem htc cables, they do not have the extra pins, search for "(12-pin, 12pin, m500, ac-m500) mhl"

Will cost you about $17 plus solder and other parts too test.

[G2 General] scififan68:
My old Verizon LG G2 VS980 had its digitizer falling off so I got a refurb replacement from Verizon and it has those extra usb 3 pin unlike my first LG G2 which did not have them. It also seems to charger faster now, but maybe that's just a placebo effect. Also maybe LG will release a USB 3 adapter later who really knows.

[G2 General] 1branchonthevine:
Sorry all again for the radio silence... some reason I stopped getting notices in my inbox when there was a post to this forum. Glad to see there is still a following, no promises on getting back to this anymore by a certain date, I'll get to it when I get to it.

I have the test phone and the parts/cables sitting right in front of me at my main computer desk, hoping that it re-motivates me to solder and test it sooner than later. As of yet, it still looks like solder mods will be still required to gain access to the USB 3.0 features. Currently I have the HTC 11-pin connector and a mate, since HTC's is the closest match to the LG connector, although not a drop in replacement, so I don't suggest the mod for everyone. I also have a USB 3.0 female cable that I plan to use if the solder job goes sour, and a usb 2.0 hub, will be looking for a 3.0 if it works, so I can transfer my flash stick files at super speeds.

[IMG="see it - believe it"]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-2Zk38MmIIgU/VTfIN4hEoeI/AAAAAAAARfM/lEHmXTpu7tM/w699-h818-no/20150422_121122.jpg[/IMG]

I still have not found the mate for the proprietary LG connector, have yet to painfully look it up again. Analogix still seems to be idling with the adoption of the new ANX7738 4k Slimport receiver, they still only show the limited product-brief spec sheet, so my guess is that once the proprietary nature of patent delays clears up for Analogix 4k SlimPort, we should start seeing the 11-pin usb mate showing up, since 4k will likely require usb 3.0 speeds.

Take care :D
[G2 General] JumperM:
Is it possible to change the USB 2 connector with an USB 3.1 connector? I think it must be possible.
[G2 General] 1branchonthevine:
That is one sexy connector I must say, but type-C connectors are not backward compatible to standard MicroUSB cables, (but the samsung's 11-pin MHL, HTC's 12-pin, or LGs 11-pin connector are), so this is inconvenient at best, but just my opinion.

My guess is that the standardized pinouts of the USB 3.1 Type-C connector will not match the pin layout of the standard MicroUSB connector in our phones (i.e. positive might be negative, send might be receive, etc.), so if even you got it to retrofit as a replacement (being that the Type-C is 12 pins vs LG's 11 pins), you would have to make a custom cable/adapter/power adapter, so this becomes another inconvenience, but just my opinion. The same is true for samsungs 11-pin and HTC's 12 pin, the pins don't have the same layout.

Lastly, I haven't looked at the dimensions, but it appears larger than a microusb connector, so my guess is the footprint will be even harder to match, and you would have to cut the case to make it fit, and hope the solder joints are wide enough in the LG to hold the connector in place.

If it were my choice though, I would certainly try to adopt this connector if it becomes the new accepted standard!
[G2 General] JumperM:
Alysium has an 12Pin connector technical drawing.

http://www.alysium-tech.com/downloads/products/usb-connectors/a46-4825.pdf

Do we know the pins from the g2. If it match I would try to get it on my g2 802 int.

As in Post #20 shown, it seemed not to match :( Maybe there is another connector with pin match from another company. ...
[G2 General] 1branchonthevine:
Thanks for the PDF!

Dang, they didn't even attempt to try to make this connector smaller for future rapid adoption into mobile devices! My guess is a Type-D is coming soon, anyway.

LG's 11-pin connector is ~ 8mm long (front to back), 9mm wide

HTC's (somewhat easy to retrofit) 12-pin connector is ~ 10mm long, 10mm wide

Type-C 3.1 12-pin is 12.93mm (~13mm) long, 9.2mm wide.

The drawing shows that the Type-C SMT leads are recessed from the back about 1mm, and we have about 1.5mm of play with the LG case, so if this thing could even be placed on the board, it looks like it will jut out a mere 1.5mm from the case... not bad considering! But still no smoking gun on pinouts being compatible w/3.1 standard, but maybe doable? It think I will still stick with the HTC connector myself, since I don't want to have to carry a cable adapter around when i need to bum a charger off someone.

Good luck! It would be nice if we had more capable testers/tinkerers out there on this, I really want 3.0 file transfer speeds so bad on this thing!

Here's another connector from Lotes what has a better fit to the LG Pins. But its 10,31mm long compare to the LG connector. Its really hard to find a matching connector. But i want USB 3.0 for faster charging on USB 3.0 ports and faster transfer rate!!! I'll keep working on it!

http://www.lotes.cc/shop/webpage!product_view.action?goodsSn=AUSB0168-P***#

Edit: AFAIK, usb 3.1 is backward compatible. As you see in the technical drawings, the inner pins are the normal USB 2.0 VBB, D+, D+ and Ground connectors. When you only connect these pins to the board you will have USB 2.0 and the type C connector.

My Verizon LG G2 (vs980) has it also. To dusty for me to count pins but I see them. I don't know much about this but I have a idea. What is someone had a 3-D printer and with alot of trial and error made a small plastic connector that fit properly in the port but the plastic piece bad notches for small wires so you could actually connect with the pins without soldering and potentially frying your G2.

Hey, is there any news regarding this topic?
[G2 General] Ralph77:
Windows 10: "Device can perform faster"

Since installing the Windows 10 'Creators Update' today (Windows v1703) Windows is telling me that "Device can perform faster when connected to USB 3.0". I didn't get this notification until installing this update. Of course, it's not possible to effectively connect it to USB 3.0, since even when utilizing the 3.0 port on the PC, the cable and the phone connector on the G2 are still only rated at 2.0, but it's intriguing that Windows recognises that the phone has 3.0 capability.

I also tried connecting my newer LG Stylus 2, but didn't get the same notification.
[G2 General] balakay4312:
Although we still need a modded USB connector.
[G2 General] Ralph77:
Yeah, doesn't look like that's likely, and even if it were, I wouldn't have the technical skills. So I only mention it as a curiosity really. Would be interested to hear if others have had similar prior to v1703, eg a popup saying the device can perform faster? I never did until now.
[G2 General] balakay4312:
I have it connected to my PC with a USB 3 port and it still says that do it could just be a bug.
[G2 General] Ralph77:
I don't think it's a bug as such, I think that Windows recognises that the device has USB 3.0-compatible hardware installed, but of course Windows doesn't know that the device has no compatible port to connect a USB 3.0 cable to. Well, that's my theory anyway!
[G2 General] balakay4312:
It could also be that Windows recognises that the chipset is compatible with USB 3.
[G2 General] Ralph77:
Agreed - that's what I meant :D

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to apply the OTA update to move to KitKat but I've tried it twice now and both times before it even starts doing anything on the installation after turning off, I get a dead android icon with a red triangle and an exclamation point. I figured this issue was due to me removing some packages to uninstall bloat but I restored all the ones I backed up and I'm not sure if I'm missing something. I'm rooted using the saferoot on 98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US. How can I get my phone to update? I'm aware that I'll lose root but it's not imperative for me. I really only use it to get rid of ads using AdAway. Thanks in advance!
[Droid RAZR M General] gjriehl:
Is there a way to get the apk's for all the system installed apps that come with the Droid RAZR M? I could go through and install the ones I'm missing that way. I thought I backed up any ones that I was removing so that this wouldn't happen when a new OTA came out but apparently not.
[Droid RAZR M General] Coronado is dead:
