Wireless Charging Fail

The wireless charging back covers offered on ebay from Korea are NOT compatible with the Verizon model. The metal contacts are to close together on the case. It does not work. Do not buy. Wait for the US version.

On another note, the LG G3 slim guard case is actually very nice. I will definitely get a US version.
[Verizon LG G3] easyfame:
Do you have any pics of your phone in a slim guard case?
[Verizon LG G3] cpg1987:
Just picked up my G3! The screen is gorgeous and the white one I got feels great in the hands. It was laggy at first because of apps installing etc, but its smooth now. I did turn it at max brighness and it is difficult to see in the sun, but that is not that important to me. Now, time to root and get rid of all this Verizon bloatware!
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
having issues with debugging staying on when connecting to computer. you have any problems with yours? the .bat keeps shutting down after the first step.
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
Change it to internet and Ethernet in the usb connection settings to get usb debugging to work. Figured that one out on my own.
[Verizon LG G3] kafreeman:
Just got delivered.

Of course ive got meetings for the next three hours... so it will charge to 100%.
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
Got mine (white) from the store when it opened this morning. They had a bunch of them in stock, very few presales, and no one in line waiting or anything...

Good looking phone. Screen is definitely dimmer than I like at 100% w/auto brightness turned off, but is good enough.

Already rooted, restored app backups, changed launcher to Nova.
[Verizon LG G3] streetpounder:
You have to use internet mode on usb, and Ethernet option
[Verizon LG G3] osmidy:
Fedex lady didn't even wait for my signature, haha. Also, i definitely didn't notice the sharpening until now...
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
We already knew that, but the international model has the same pin setup as us and is on ebay.
[Verizon LG G3] oo3:
I did....even called BB today to see when they can pick it up, but my location told me they didn't even get them in yet. I checked online again and now their site says "Release date not announced" where it used to say Pick up 7/17/14.

I'm not a happy camper right now.
[Verizon LG G3] Jarvill:
Tracking now says 'Customer Not Available or Business Closed'. Called to pick it up at the distribution center, and apparently Verizon restricted it to delivery only :(

Hopefully they come later tomorrow, I guess? Otherwise I'm stuck waiting until next week
[Verizon LG G3] scooby-snack:
Same BS with Amazon. I pre- Ordered Last Week. Checked all week to make sure it would ship "Oh yea your's shows estimated delivery date of the 18th" Then today just took a basic stock check at Amazon "Temporarily Unavailable"

BS
[Verizon LG G3] oo3:
Yeah, I'm going to cancel my order and go to Verizon and pick it up since my location has them in stock. I just wanted the $50 gc for new activations. Going out of town soon so I won't even be able to pick it up after today.
[Verizon LG G3] cpg1987:
I picked mine up a couple of hours ago and I am disappointed so far with the device. The screen is gorgeous and the size and feel of the phone are great. Now to the bad things I've experienced so far. Lag. The phone is so laggy to me even with 0.5 animations and ART enabled. And this is someone coming from a droid razr maxx, which was a terribly slow phone. Also, my phone has completely frozen 3 times now so I had to pull the battery out and put it back in to get the device to come back on. Lastly, this thing is much warmer than it should be even when it's just sitting on my desk. I haven't messed with it in 5 minutes and it feels like I've been playing games on it for a long time.

I'm going to root it now and hope that fixes my problems somehow...I think I may just swap it for another unit tonight if it doesn't get any better because I think I may have gotten a lemon. I hope others will not have the same problems as me.
[Verizon LG G3] aku69:
They Wouldn't let you go to the distribution hub and pick it up after 5?! That sucks!!! I hope they don't pull that on me. I'll be home about 3:30 FedEx usually delivers around that time, I hope if I miss the guy he'll just leave the package, but if not they better let me go pick it up! :rolleyes:
[Verizon LG G3] b00sted:
yay!

sorry for the crap pic came from a crap phone but yay!
[Verizon LG G3] LostMahbles:
On 3rd call to BB, was able to get a rep that told me they haven't gone out because they haven't received the shipment yet. Estimates they'll get that in today or tomorrow. Take that for what it's worth.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
mine is here!!! yay I just need root now!!
[Verizon LG G3] IndianaBond:
Just rooted mine an hour ago.
[Verizon LG G3] scooby-snack:
Interesting.. hopefully the same will apply to Amazon. :(
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
thanks, that worked. still having issues after running the .bat. i'm sure i'll figure it out - the .bat just closes after clicking any button in admin mode. i made sure all the basics were in place.

will update and thanks!

Got it! I forgot this PC didn't have adb in.
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
I just got home from BB after picking you up. I did not preorder, and got a grey color way. They only got 3 G3's in, total. :eek: Coming from my GS3, this think rocks!

Also, the mobile BB employees tried to get me a $100 gift card, but they were told it is only for EDGE customers. Lame.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
This just has to be said..

OH MY GOD THE BLOATWARE

Scrolling through the preinstalled apps in Titanium is like a hitlist of crap I would never want installed on my device. No wonder the thing is a bit laggy, I'm surprised it can run this smooth at all. Can't wait to really dig into it.
[Verizon LG G3] Eyalkn:
Got me thinking. How do we un-install or freeze apps with TiBu without having the ability to do a Nandroid first.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
Good question. I'm going through the list now and there is a lot of stuff here that i'm concerned about uninstalling. I may just freeze to avoid accidentally uninstalling something vital.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Well you can always do a factory reset from the recovery or in the OS. I made a list in http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/list-bloatware-safe-to-disable-t2819370 of everything that I saw which could be bloat but it had a non-obvious function or a function I could live without. If everyone chips in we can get a bunch of stuff identified in no time.
[Verizon LG G3] rr150159:
Just wondering is it safe to root or is there a root counter that will be triggered (just worried about warrantying phone if something happens to it)?
[Verizon LG G3] cpg1987:
Update: My phone seems to have settled down now or something lol but it is silky smooth now and not running as hot when its charging! This phone is a beast right now
[Verizon LG G3] tkmcguire1:
No,I do have an old flip phone as a back up but it sucks and is unreliable and I have a home phone,of course I wouldn't neglect my clients.

Still waiting on delivery for my G3!

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Just got delivered! Fed ex guy didn't even wait for my signature,just dropped it on my porch rang the doorbell and took off. I'm glad I work from home because I would have been upset if someone would have stolen it off my porch. I'm fixing to unbox now:)
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
was it easy to do man? IOroot work like a charm?

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Don't we have a stock zip file to go back to stock everything???
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
has ANYONE tried this with Best Buy in store pick up and tried the method of activation to keep their unlimited data? im fairly impatient about shipping to my house and i live in the woods, and sometimes packages never get delivered. since i work there, i was gonna try andactivate the phone myself and try the sim card trick and activate using my old sim. but anyone who is familiar with BEAST activations knows that u have to scan the sim card that comes with the device, or u have the option to keep ur current one. if i choose keep my current sim, but it makes me choose a diff plan, i know it will kick me off unlimited with the sim that comes with it, but if i use my current sim, will the plan still change or stay unlimited? and one more thing if anyone knows... if i just do in store pickup, and choose to activate it at a later date, just insert my old card and i should be golden with unlimited? i am about to go and trade in my G2, lol. thats why im asking these questions for anyone who would know.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
FedEx didn't leave my phone either, stupid leasing office

I called them and confirmed I can pick it up around 6:30
[Verizon LG G3] lakingslayer:
I'm going to BB tonight to pick up my two pre-orders. I'm not letting them do squat otherwise I'm cancelling my order. I'll activate at home with my old SIM's.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Well in my zeal in cleaning out bloatware I seem to have somehow disabled double tap to turn off the screen. Double tap to wake still works. Any ideas what could cause this? Or hmm, I wonder if it's because I switched to Nova launcher..
[Verizon LG G3] Jarvill:
Did you call the local shipping center, or the generic fedex line?
[Verizon LG G3] Rennat:
I am a Best Buy Mobile employee and when you pick it up, the system that we use to process the pickup requires an activation. You may be able to tell them to keep the same sim if you already have an LTE device and that may avoid the unlimited data problems. Most likley you will lose the unlimited data going the store pick-up (and upgrading your line) route because I believe you will lose it when you upgrade the line with the unlimited data. (not 100% sure as I haven't process any Verizon unlimited data upgrades for a while).

EDIT: Make sure to let the BBY employee helping you know exactly what is up and you want to make sure to keep the unlimited data. We aren't paid comission so if you have to cancel your store pick-up it isn't like the person helping you will get a smaller pay check.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
The root was very easy with IOroot. Fully rooted about to spend the evening getting this sucker the way I want it.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
Awesome me too lol I haven't activated yet. It will get charged up and rooted, xposed etc etc before SIM goes in lol
[Verizon LG G3] boe:
Just arrived - los angeles - TINY box IMHO. My order also said	4G NFC SIM Card - this didn't come in the box from what I could tell. I have no idea what that is or if I can transfer my card from my S4.

edit - new card was pre-installed.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
It's at my door!! Driving home now before neighbor's cat gets to it! :D
[Verizon LG G3] J3ff:
Usually fedex delivers to my house around 10am. Of course here we are at 5:15pm and fedex is no where to be seen!!
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
Although the 801 based 32/3 version would be a darn good phone too.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
My dad used to say, "some people would ***** if they were hung with a new rope"....:D
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
same here, and now that the rumor of the G3 Prime is for Korea only, that makes July 10 the decision date all by itself.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
TMo leak showed release date of July 16th, so the previous VZW leak of the 17th seems realistic.

Edit: Oh god I hope the clock showing Thursday August 7th below isn't the release date for the G3 on Verizon.

[IMG="Evleaks"]http://cdn.evleaks.at/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/g3vista.png[/IMG]
[Verizon LG G3] allan1313:
I am impatiently waiting for vzw to confirm the 17th.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
I'm torn. A part of me says not to buy one until the bootloader is unlocked. Another part of me says to wait until this winter when the 64 bit phones come out. But since I'm impatient, I'll probably buy it when pre-released and root it and hope for the bootloader.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
The 32gb version is in our (Verizon) system. This means there's a 90% chance Verizon will get that version. I say 90%, because there's always a possibility it could be online only.

Hope this helps!
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
Any idea of colors?
[Verizon LG G3] allan1313:
Does your system have a date? Say the 17th??
[Verizon LG G3] Badouken:
Im torn if I should upgrade to the LG G3 in August... or tough it out and wait till late October / early November for the the new Nexus which may or may not exist and may or may not come to Verizon for once...

I might also decide to get the White LG G3... because i feel like the phone would get less hot if it was white instead of black and the Verizon logo doesn't seem as noticeable on the white model.

Also I found these images of the white LG G3 model from Verizon on imgur... enjoy!

Digging how they made the front all white on the Verizon edition... I actually like the white model on Verizon better than the other versions (besides the logos obviously).
[Verizon LG G3] Pheno.menon:
dat front logo tho... classic Verizon, heh
[Verizon LG G3] Badouken:
It's pretty freaking annoying that it's there at all... The galaxy S5 and the HTC one m8 don't have logos on the front, so I was expecting this phone to not have one either! Then Verizon dropped this bomb on me... Guess I shouldn't be surprised... Haha
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
Where did you see this information? I know that the Verizon POS system for corporate stores lists nothing yet about any G3 model and franchise stores use a modified version of POS and get even less information than corporate stores. The only other way you would know is if you have access to supply chain information and that would normally be an actual staff member at Verizon corporate HQ.

Not saying you are making this up, but you are literally the only one in the wild web saying this and nobody yet corroborates the same thing.

Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
FWIW, my contact says we get the 3/32; preorder on July 10. No info on colors.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
That is cool, but just wanting to understand what some are seeing different from the corporate store POS and new product bulletin system they use. They only have one system. Sometimes their customer service support engineers (higher than tier 1) eat lunch with some people that would know and stuff spills that way ahead of time to customers, but rare. I found out about the S4 32GB from Verizon that way, about two weeks before they announced. I sadly still did no believe it until officially announced.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
I wish I could tell you more, but I can't n risk my job.

All i can say is, if you look at my past with giving out info on this forum, I've never been wrong about dates, models etc.

Also, July 10th pre orders start.
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
any word on contract pricing?
[Verizon LG G3] shawnten:
this title does not sound good

http://www.loadthegame.com/2014/06/30/lg-g3-g-vista-release-date-might-delayed-verizon/
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
They are just basing that off of the date in those pictures. I've seen VZW marked G3 pictures with May 30th as well, so I wouldn't take the Aug 7th date to mean anything yet. It's possible but that seems like an awfully long delay compared to other carriers. A week or two I could understand, but a month? Doesn't seem realistic.
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
I agree. A release a full month after tmobile and probably others isn't something they'd want. The only reason why they'd do that is if they had some kind of exclusive modification of the phone that delayed it - like changes to the rear buttons and camera again. If there are any, hopefully they are for the best.
[Verizon LG G3] mrlaigle:
Yes you can transfer. The one that came with it is pre installed
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
This phone is awesome. Others have posted about screen brightness. I have not had the chance to be in direct sunlight yet, but I have noticed the screen can go a lot brighter then my GS3, and also has the ability to dim far more then my GS3. This is great as the GS3 was too bright at times while in the dark.
[Verizon LG G3] lakingslayer:
Thanks for the info.:good:
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Well after an agonizing week I finally received a resolution. I've been telling them something was wrong with my other but they kept saying I was wrong even though most could never find it. Found out it was stuck(probably from day one) so had to be reordered and got the g watch for free even though I know she hated doing so lol. Will be getting it sat and that really kills me because I like to have a device first day it releases but at least they stuck to the promotion I was offered. Think this is my last time pre-ordering. Very horrible experience.
[Verizon LG G3] aohmer:
How did you get the G watch for free?!
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
Thank u man. I have only been working there for 2months so I'm still getting used to the system we use. I'll be sure to let them know what the deal is when they activate it thru BEAST.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
When I pre-ordered I clicked bundle and it gave me the watch for free. Think it was doing that for all orders until 1 a.m.
[Verizon LG G3] PizzaSauce:
I preordered my phone on the 10th at 12:12am, it said that the G Watch bundle was free at the time so I added it. Received the phone today and no G Watch. I have a screen shot of my order and price, just trying to get a hold of CS right now.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Good luck. My rep said she couldn't find the receipt so I emailed it to her then magically she found the order matching what I told her lol. Had no problem honoring the price :)
[Verizon LG G3] sprintrjm:
Just picked mine up from fedex so far so good.

More responsive then my g4.

Hate that the back is slippery, I have clammy hands. But the s4 was way worse.
[Verizon LG G3] chaplngrillsgt:
I cannot get the RSA to come up. I have USB Debugging on and have tried all different connection types (I was told Ethernet is the key).... ioroot.bat can't discover the phone so nothing happens it just says waiting for discovery, starts server, then sits there. Any help?

Edit: It would appear that the OP of IORoot has an older link for the VZW driver. Gotta install the driver from the instructions contained in the original zip. (v2.14.1). Just finished rooting! Super easy!!
[Verizon LG G3] PizzaSauce:
That's good to hear! Did they just say they were gonna ship it out to you or were there some hoops to jump through?
[Verizon LG G3] sensui123:
Install ADB drivers first:

http://adbdriver.com/
[Verizon LG G3] netopalis007:
I got the G3 and took it into the Verizon store to pick up a case and screen protector. I got the otterbox (company was actually started in a garage less than 5 miles from my house). However, with both the screen protector and the built in protector in the otterbox, the screen is completely unresponsive :rolleyes: Why would you bundle things that don't work together?!?
[Verizon LG G3] PizzaSauce:
I work for VZ. I'm guessing you got the Defender Otterbox? Take it off and pop out the ****ty built in screen protector. That's what we do at our store.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Too many hoops to count. Unlike you I haven't received my phone even though I pre-ordered around 12:30 a.m. on the 10th. Talked to about 20 reps in total from the 15th til today so I'd say mine was deserved lol but if I had to do that just to get the watch I would've bothered. Hopefully you have no problems on the first go around.
[Verizon LG G3] PizzaSauce:
Sheesh, well I'm still having trouble getting a hold of CS for anything
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
What he said. ADB first.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
i got nothing :( yes i have that old 2.14.1 vzw driver installed!
[Verizon LG G3] chaplngrillsgt:
It was already installed. The OP had a different driver linked. Updated to the correct one and I was good to go. Easy as can be.

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

Are you in Internet-Ethernet mode for connection type?
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Phone or chat? Seems like there's always a wait with them smh. I really worpnder if their that busy.

[Verizon LG G3] netopalis007:
Thanks!

In another episode of Neto messing things up, I did a factory reset which (obviously) deleted the included 2k demo videos. Does anyone know if there's a place to download those?
[Verizon LG G3] oo3:
I just got an email from Best Buy stating there's been a delay and to expect to pickup the order within 30 days. I'm so glad I went to Verizon instead to get it. Now I just have to wait to cancel the BB order.
[Verizon LG G3] cj42:
Does anyone know if FoxFi works with the Verizon G3? I have unlimited data and want to be able to tether without paying Verizon for it. The G2 wasn't supported - does that mean rooting is my only option?
[Verizon LG G3] clm6113:
G3 arrived today. Has turned off on its own half a dozen times. I have to remove and replace the battery to power on.....
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
Still waiting for my Best Buy to get the phone. The one in Des moines has a few apparently but I'm not driving 45 minutes to get one. I would go to the Verizon store to get one but I want to save the $50 with the gift card for upgrading. It's not a big deal since my S3 still works perfectly.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
Got my G3 thru in store pickup. Told the girl I work with not to turn the phone on and let me do the activation myself. With that said I had to call VZW and get it activated because it was on a "switch". Girl who spoke to was VERY CLEAR on the phone which is appreciated lol. Now since I'm activated, I get this....

View attachment 2857269

To me, it looks like my plan stayed the same. But the data is what's tripping me out... Wtf is that? I'm gonna call em back and get on em about it.
[Verizon LG G3] PizzaSauce:
I got through to them, they put me on hold for over 10 minutes. Then came back and told me that the watch for free was an advertisement? I even emailed my order receipt and told them what exactly how I made the order but they still said they weren't going to honor it. What all did you have to do?
[Verizon LG G3] geoff5093:
To get the RSA message to show up on your phone, load up Command Prompt and type in adb devices, then re-run ioroot.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Think its just the system because last night my usuage on all my lines was 0. They been having a lot of system issues lately

So I'm rooted how do I make sure my phone doesn't update on me without my concent
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Not sure. Did you ask for a supervisor? I wouldn't just ask them how could they offer something and not honor it when it clearly states that it's included on your reciept
[Verizon LG G3] mkloharry:
Download free screen off from playstore. Then in Nova settings gesture, link double tap with screen off app same as my g2
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Glad I signed up for FedEx delivery manager never would've known my phone just shipped(still have yet to receive confirmation receipt from Verizon)
[Verizon LG G3] tlogank:
Yes, Nova does this. You can still double-tap the notification bar to turn screen off.
