[Verizon LG G3] guthrien:
Short perspective...I crushed my Note 3 accidentally and am without additional replacement coverage. Since I was planning on upgrading to the Note 4, I went and signed up for another phone as essentially a rental for 14 days. I thought the G3 was the most intriguing option as my gf has the HTC M8 and the Moto X while cool, doesn't hold many secrets and is only 16gb in store.

I've got to say, this phone is quickly growing on me. I've come from S3, Note 2, Note 3 and I've suffered through Touchwiz implementation for the sake of hardware I wanted. And until the Note 3, a vibrant ROM scene. You might see some ROMS in the Note 3 section and while they're all superior to stock, it's a dead duck compared to the diversity of the Note 2. I cared a lot less because the Note 3 is just a solid device, it doesn't really lack anything. If you're a note taker like me it's still a unique device as well. That said, I got to play with the Note 4 at Verizon's store for an hour and it's a great phone, better than the 3, but in an iterative way like an iPhone S model if you have experience with that. It's unlikely to have an unlocked bootloader, but it will be a solid performer for the length of a contract with a beautiful screen and better camera. Fact is, this is the wrong carrier now for flashers and getting worse. You need to see how much you love a phone on root to decide whether to live with it.

All that rambling to say, I could definitely see living with this and not feeling cheated by missing the 4. LG's skin is sort of fugly like Touchwiz (if more simple), but whereas all those Samsung features feel like a crazy attempt to add to a list, I find many of the software extras on the G3 to be actually useful. The knock feature is addictive, the guest mode is brilliant and should be copied immediately, the camera software works well, the LG cover actually adds value (unlike my S cover) in clever, small ways, and why on earth is it easier for me to capture web content and send a note more intuitively and quickly than on a Galaxy Note? All those little things are going to be hard to give up if I do to chase the latest hardware on a contract. A lot of what keeps us liking a device, certainly on XDA, is novelty I think. But if you live with a phone for a year or so, you need it to be..good, and this phone is really good. It's as good as anything available, that's for sure. I wouldn't put yourself through too much hardship to trade. Just my 2 cents.
[Verizon LG G3] zetsumeikuro:
Just wondering if you guys know this... With VOLTE (voice over lte) any unlocked LTE phone will work on Verizon. It is mandated by the FCC due to the 700mhz spectrum that Verizon uses for its network that they allow consumers to use any device they wish that supports VOLTE. http://www.extremetech.com/electron...ll-off-cdma-and-allow-unlocked-lte-phones-too We will just have to wait and see with N6 launch, but I have a strong feeling that the play store version will work.
[Verizon LG G3] ivanov13:
I've always been HTC guy, but decided to give G3 a try. I like the G3 overall, but locked bootloader makes me look back. M8 has developing going like no other device, I belive. "Work of art" done by Anybody and brilliant Hawkeye were rocking my m7 back in the days and I've seen them making ROMs for m8 as well... I'm about to sell my G3 and get m8. I guess I'm a flashaholic.
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
I sold my M8 to get the G3. I love flashing just as much as the next guy, but I just couldn't take the camera on the M8.

I was just swinging by to mention Bump! Now I can sit back and wait while the ROMs start being worked on. Perhaps it's time to get back into that field myself since I plan to keep the G3 for a solid 2 years now (still holding out for the Droid Turbo, but I'm going to make that my work device as opposed to my daily driver.).

[Verizon LG G3] nmil1484:
Is development dead for this device? Should we keep holding out? I heard that AOSP camera issue is fixed. All we are waiting for is Bump.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Well, things got more interesting a couple of days ago when Verizon put out an update to v10c that did very little to help their users, but which seems to have created a bit of a mess with regards to rooting and Bumping.

I would wait until things get settled down and see who is left still standing for the LG G3. If you really want a Verizon device you can be sure will be open for developers, though, your only option at this point might be the Nexus 6.
[Verizon LG G3] autoprime:
the vzw ota update will most likely change nothing... there are bigger issues in place behind the scenes that we saw coming before this minor vzw update. As for the vzw OTA issues (some reporting no adb or download mode)... I think some new drivers and possibly some new steps will get those working for people again... I do not think Verizon has blocked anything just yet.

But the VZW OTA does show how crazy things could get should Bump get patched in Official Lollipop. For weeks now everyone has been told to not take an OTA before it has been deemed completely safe and maybe only specific partitions should be flashed for the update... if any at all. Well we saw how fast that idea went out the window... no one cared about what was previously said... I even warned people in the update thread.. but was told that "OTA is fine because root sticks..." ... So with this mentality and blatant disregard of warnings... I feel if anti-rollback and blocked bump does come.. there are going to be MANY users locking themselves out of all the fun.

As I said above.. I think ADB and Download Mode/downgrades will be sorted... and people who took the OTA may get lucky this time.. but what about next time?
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
That is clear, and makes good sense.

I am glad I avoided the v10c OTA by freezing everything anyone mentioned related to it. Now I can see it is available, but select "Ignore" or something like that, no Alert no pop-ups no timer.

I have not yet Bumped my vs985, but could at any point. One reason I have not yet is because I was unsure about being able to .tot back to v10b from a bump-TRWP'd stock-kerneled firmware. Not saying I couldn't, just being cautious.
[Verizon LG G3] Cruiserdude:
This is key, users have got to learn not to just take an OTA as soon as they see it pop up, if root and related modifications are something they enjoy.

It's good to see that this update likely blocked nothing, but merely changed how the phone "talks" over USB, that should be remedied with some updated methods and/or software. Still, it should serve as a fair warning to those users to be more careful next time. As I've said before, I came from a Verizon GS4, which received an OTA early on that blocked root and the Loki bootloader exploit. Plenty of people took it, and to this day no further bootloader exploit has been released.

I am hoping that LG will continue to allow their devices to be downgraded, not really sure what issue anyone would have with that. But considering that so far Nexus devices running the Lollipop preview have to flash a modified boot.img just for root to work, some users will find themselves very screwed indeed if they do indeed lock out downgrades.
[Verizon LG G3] MrKleen1:
I'm sorry, but anyone who had custom recovery that takes an OTA update deserves losing it all.

As a rule of thumb people are impatient and want their update now rather than waiting a day and getting it from developers after checking it's safety.

Early adopters of the S4 had Loki bypass. Then an update came and I read hundreds of people wishing they hadn't been so stupid.
[Verizon LG G3] IamPro:
this

freeze the update with TiBu and call it a day till dev pick up
[Verizon LG G3] autoprime:

[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I really hope you can get one that would be useful to you. Can't spare mine since I dropped my OPO and broke the display.
[Verizon LG G3] nmil1484:
=) you make a good point. I think I am over this phone. I will probably sell it soon. I am getting my nexus 9 soon. after I am over the excitement of that and if there is still no aosp I will pull the trigger.

I'll probably sell it rooted. I am pretty sure I can do a factory restore on stock ROM to wipe personal data. Does anyone know of this will effect root or twrp?
[Verizon LG G3] budven:
I love this phone but I didn't take the OTA and if Verizon is locking down this phone won't they lock down other phones still to come out?
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
Of course they are. Have you checked out any of the new Samsung phones? Good luck with those. AFAIK, the G3, and the One M8, are the only current Verizon phones that you can unlock. I don't understand why people on these forums would want to get rid of them, or take any OTA updates.
[Verizon LG G3] nmil1484:
Well bump'd Roms are out! This phone has strung me along again. It is a great phone and even better now that we can flash custom ROMS. I am running CM 11 thinking of going to smooth but ultimately want PA or a pure vanilla build.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] wpbear:
The original in a 8525 is 1300mAH, so if you can get a 2400mAH in the same size you probably could sell ALOT. But if you still have to add a battery door for an oversized battery then SEIDO 3200mAH is a better deal.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeknight11:
So, I installed PA 4.6 Beta 2 for locked bootloaders on my Xperia SP yesterday. To install the rom I performed all necessary wipes via recovery twice. Now there's this big problem. After I opened my gallery I noticed mutliple similar folders, after checking details of individual images and going to the directories mentioned in image details using root explorer I noticed the following -

1) storage/emulated/0 leads to the current internal storage directory being used by the PA rom

2) There's another 0 directory this directory i.e. storage/emulated/0/0 which contains empty DCIM/pictures/ringtones folders

3) Same as 2, storage/emulated/0/0/0

4) Finally going to storage/emulated/0/0/0/0 leads to the old interal storage which is used to be on the stock rom. All files are intact.

This is quite weird. Can someone please explain what's going on and how can I fix this? This never happened on nexus 4 after installing new roms.

EDIT- Nevermind. Fixed it myself. Although an explanation on why this is happening will be appreciated.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reneftw:
Hello.

I have a problem with my phone: I install MIUI 6 (doesn't matter what version), I set it up with restore, it runs ok till the first manual reboot. Then it gets blocked at the black "MI"screen. Won't enter in the OS. Any methods to determine the culprit? Maybe taking a log (how to do that?) It gets kinda annoying to flash the zip again and again everytime I do a reboot.

Thank you.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenR2:
dot restore,just go for a fresh clean install,

if that also doesn't work,then simply go for fast boot method
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reneftw:
I have lots of apps and it would take me ages to manually install them all. Back-up and restore from MIUI is my savior.

I also have Xposed Framework, that requires a reboot after install. That reboot works. First I thought it was xposed's fault, but I guess if it would have been that the phone won't start after the reboot it required. Same thing happens with wsm.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras1259:
Don't install xposed ..

(I had same problem)

Clean install miui 6 once again
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reneftw:
Same problem meaning your phone won't boot after a while or right after installing Xposed?

I really don't get it. For example, i just clean installed MIUI, restored the apps, installed Xposed + modules and I can do as many restarts as I want, it will boot every single time. The problem appears after a while, I guess starting tomorrow morning it will get screwed up again, although I won't install any apps or anything in the meanwhile.

[Sony Xperia L] Thundery Steak:
Okay so I ran into this REALLY weird issue with my call speaker yesterday

Yesterday, when I got home I placed my phone next to my keyboard and forgot about it after a while. When I wasn't behind the computer, someone called me but phone stopped ringing after 2-3 seconds (Possibly they had wrong number) BUT right after the phone stopped ringing, the call speaker began to emit a high pitched noise. I grabbed the phone and tried to stop it by taking out the battery. I also found out that the frequency of the high pitched noise changed every time I moved my phone just a little and then it stopped completely by itself

Today, when I was on the toilet, I received a call and in the middle of a call, the call speaker began to emit a REALLY loud noise (It sounded like the beeping of those really old soviet electronic alarm clocks). I only heard it but the person on the other end couldn't hear it. It got either quieter or louder depending on how I positioned the phone which is a sign that both these incidents are caused by a single issue

I never had this problem before and I'm pretty sure that it's a hardware issue since I tried the volume keys too and it seemed to ignore the volume controls or plugged in headphones

Any idea what could be causing this and how to get rid of this issue? I might not be able to send it for repairs so any "ghetto" repair guides are welcome

Don't have this on my Z1c at least... But it's not 6 months old yet.

Did you notice this recently? Could it be that this was the case since you bought it, but you never noticed?

And is this problem only visible on white screen or in all situations?

Since this is clearly no software issue I think you have to live with it... Or send it in for repair obviously.

Hope this is no general issue for Z1c displays.
