[General Questions and Answers] robles4242:
I have a question. I had an LG Volt, kept it forever, and the day before my case come in i dropped it and shattered the screen. So I went to Radioshack used my $50 insurance i paid and got a new one. Well a few months later, i was using it to tether internet. On my girlfriends computer. A windows 8.1 HP Pavilion 23. It worked great, I was using PDANET and unlocked the full version. I was tethering internet and picked my phone up went to hit the button on the side to turn my screen on and all of a sudden the computer beeped, the sound it makes when you unplug the usb and disconnect a device. At that point my phone instantly suddenly powered off. It had no response to the power button,being plugged in or hard reset button combinations, i tried a brand new battery, and even used a cut charger and directly connected the wires to the prongs that touch the battery. It did NOTHING! Completely bricked. Now keep in mine i teatheted internet everyday for a month straight multiple times a day, using my lhone while it was plugged in and everything. Never a problem until that day, October 1st. So i went back to Radio Shack, used my $50 insurance again, and got another new LG Volt. Well between October 1st and October 20th, i didnt use my phone to teather, because I had upgraded my girlfriends phone on the 1st from a LG Optimous Slider with 2.3.4 or 2.4.3. (I forget for sure, but it wouldnt work to tether) to a Kyocera Event with version 4.x something. So she has been using her phone, and her data usage was getting pretty high, soi figured while I was over she could use my phone and use some of my data, being the nice guy I am. Well sure as ****, my phone is tethering for an hour or so, and im using it here and there, everythings cool. Then i come back over, pick my phone up, and BAM! Off it goes. No response at all to anything. Same as last time. Went back to RadioShack, at 8:05 PM when it happened, and they were closed. So i had to go without a phone the whole night, until the next morning. I went in, told them what happened, and they tried charging it, a new battery, found out it obviously wasnt working. So i got another new phone, without having to use my insurance, because i was within the 30 days.

I want to know, WHAT in the world is possibly making this happen? Ive only used the approved USB cable that came with the phone. At first it worked a long time and nothing happened, then it did out of no where. She tethered all the time for those 20 days, nothing happened to her phone, then i go use it again, and BAM i got bricked. WHY??? I have my phone rooted, which was only a towel root, and i have not updated to the new update version If those mean anything? Im scared to tether again because new phones are frustrating. I hate loosing all my **** and trying to get everything back to the way it was. And sick of paying the $50 insurance, because now they raised it to $80, and now a $25 deductible. If its not MY fault it broke, ie cracked screen or whatever i dont feel ishould have to forkout any money.

Remove update notification with and without root.

Disable "show notification" under Google play services.

Tethering drains the crap off of your battery. So if you stick on the charger the enemy entire time, that'll battery will go bad and will not charge, and probably has fried some internals in the back.

[quote name="notreal456789" post=54557133]So I was reading this, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2702629,,,,,,I is this y when I flashed this custom recovery, it only boots to a black screen,.....my phone starts fine I just re-flash my backup recovery back to it lol,,,, but it's called loki<br />

<br />

<br />

the G2 isnt our phone, not the same at all. Loki doesnt work after the most recent 4.4 android update. The recovery you flashed is for a different phone. <br />

<br />

On the subject of a recovery for the ls740 i just got the the one i compiled to work for our phone. <br />

<br />

cwm-based recovery v6.0.3.7<br />

<br />

You can run this in fastboot without flashing it if you like, or you could also flash it as your main recovery if you wish. I am just booting it in fastboot myself. This should backup all the partitions to the sdcard. It seems fine on mine so far just waiting for it to generate the md5<br />

<br />

This is the first and possibly only version i will be compiling and releasing. If there is a major bug i do not know if i will be able to fix it. If you are interested in picking up where i am or collaborating pm me.<br />

<br />

You most likely need the bootloader unlocked for this to work. <br />

<br />

fastboot boot cwma1.img and it will boot into the recovery. DO NOT FLASH IT AS YOUR RECOVERY, IT DOES NOT WORK.<br />

Gotcha... I've already used your CWM, I was just excited because I thought someone had found a way to flash it as the default recovery, as booting it from the PC is a pain in the rear.

ahhh gotcha, sorry for the mix up. Well don't give up hope yet. There's a project that hasn't been released for the g3 yet, the Bump! method.

As far as i know it should be able to do both. A user on android forums made a stock debloated rom that flashes fine. User quarx has a github for the lg l90, hes sorted more than a few problems on the l90 out and has source for cm11 and kernel, our phones share some similarities so that might be helpful to you. The only thing holding back a cm11 port at this point is the still locked down secureboot. That is hopefully where Bump! comes into play.

[General Questions and Answers] marth141:
To be honest, at this point of development with the LG Volt. I would recommend to any user to acquire root at the very least. Get SU going and Busy Box, then install xposed.

Custom ROMs are what we're all looking for, but I've came to notice that you can acquire a lot of the same things via xposed modules anyhow. Recommended xposed modules for anyone who is curious...

Greenify - Also a root app. This app forces selected apps to stay force closed. i.e. FACEBOOK. Unless you've removed it. But otherwise, a lot of apps try to keep themselves alive no matter what. Greenify can improve battery life and memory on your phone via keeping a lot of different apps closed or "Hibernated" As greenify keeps it. Once you're done using the app, Greenify should hibernate the app itself in a matter of minutes.

Viper4Android - BEST MUSIC DRIVER EVER. That is however, subjective to say. But, it is a very good root audio app, especially for those of us who have long commutes and want to feel some thumping music on the road.

GravityBox - I haven't used a lot of this, however, it does offer a lot of things that can make your phone look different or make things easier to navigate around your phone. Very nice to have.

Titanium Backup - You can never have enough backups.

Now, considering that we have a recovery that works live off a computer and can make backups and restore, be sure to do all of that as you're going to play with your phone. Stay safe.

Hi

Hello everybody,

I'm new user to this forum.

I'd like some help on LG Volt phones that I bought.

The phones located in Israel and I would like to use them here.

During purchase I missed the "small letters" that these phones mostly support CDMA network even though in the specification was mentioned that it can operate in GSM network as well.

at this point, I have two phones locked to any foreign sim-card and operates in CDMA network only.

I read that by changing IMEI or using IMEI it is possible to unlock these phones to any sim-card and it'll operate in GSM network.

so far it was unsuccessful.

I'd appreciate any help on the matter.
[General Questions and Answers] marth141:
Although it could be possible, I wouldn't bet anything on it. After reading through this whole thread and trying to stay up to date on it, as well as with any progress regarding the LG Volt, you're kind of out of luck.

There is nothing we can do to get it from CDMA to GSM, hell, we haven't even been able to flash a recovery onto this phone. There is no way I would think we'd be able to get it to change it's network dealings.

That's a little too blunt but it's how it is. You'd have better luck to pick up a GSM compatible phone from the start and work that way.
