[G4 General] Peeptastic:
Is there a way to delete the update from my phone? I am on Sprint. A while ago I ran the Debloater tool to block updates. Out appears that it only hid the options and did not block them. This morning I woke up and there is a notification that the update had downloaded and I can install or wait for later. I think I will run the Debloater tool again to see if I can get rid of the notification. Is there any way to get rid of the actual downloaded file? I have a us phone so no root. Thanks.
[G4 General] phineous:
Which file or files did you block?

It's possible that there's another package on the phone that takes over once the OTA has been downloaded. In that case if you can boot into recovery, clearing the cache will remove the downloaded update. I've updated the instructions in this thread.

Please post your results so we can share this info.

[G4 General] Peeptastic:
Thank you. I actually used that thread to Debloat my phone. I blocked the six recommended apks. I noticed that when I started the tool, it does say that my phone can't block the tools, only hide them. I don't think I can access recovery, unless I am missing something. Thank you for helping me. Perhaps I should move this to your Debloater thread? That might be a better fit. I've posted here.

Thanks :) I moved it to the Debloater tool thread, here.
[G4 General] Mahapederdon:
I just got it. I pressed on the notification till it gave me options. Click info then click don't show notifications. It's still there bit at least there's no nag to install.
[G4 General] Peeptastic:

I used LG G2 first, it was an amazing device that I was very happy with. I then moved to G3 with was disappointing at the start but later on became good with updates, now I am extremely happy with the G4. Beats them all in my opinion

No, they don't overlap. You had to buy during June to get the promo with the 32GB. And during July to get the promo with the leather back.

Just picked up my G4 from Telstra. Thought all you Aus peeps might like to know the details :)

Model number is H815K (damn... not the euro model)

Also it has a black leather back with NO Telstra branding yeww!

Oh yea. And it includes a spare grey plastic back and quadbeat headphones :)
[G4 General] Unheard:
Did anyone else happen to notice the model being "rooted"? Samsung SCH-I535

If your going to make a bs fake root video at least get your phone model right.
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
Not to mention it's running 4.4.2 and the settings layout looks NOTHING like that.
[G4 General] r4Rok:
Yeah, i must say you have all the luck.
[G4 General] jayden2009:
Why lucky ? There is still nothing for the G4 ... No ROMS no kernels no exposed nothing. So the people who are rooted ( including myself ) still don't have big advantage atm

[G4 General] DsturbD:
honestly i think the only thing i want is a rooted stock rom, dont want to loose any features of the camera, thats the main reason i got the g4. just want root to get rid of ads and remove some unwanted apps, other than that, the phone is great just the way it is
[G4 General] r4Rok:
If you are talking about the one post above yours, the luck factor here refers to the [MENTION=708260]esqueue[/MENTION] was able to get USD 103 bid for G4 leather back cover. otherwise, life is staling on G4. As, we all G4 buyers are just waiting to see some break through on rooting.
[G4 General] thenewbigmack:
Prime,

Quick question for you. Just picked up the Tmobile G4 and was updating while at the counter. The version is H81110h, is this stock or after an OTA? If it's after an OTA, there's not much I can do at this point correct? Thanks for your time and efforts!
[G4 General] Knucklessg1:
I got that one within the first 5 minutes that I had my phone on. It was a forced update. I think we're still ok for now, just prevent future OTA's by disabling the app.
[G4 General] thenewbigmack:
Which APP did you disable? I have:

AdaptClient.apk

LGLDB.apk

LGUpdateCenter.apk

Saw to diable AdaptClient and LGLDB in another thread, and updatecenter seemed like an obvious block. Thanks!

Awesome Devs

You wouldn't lose the Awesome camera. When i had the same problem with my g2 i looked into it and you can still install the stock camera on a different rom and it functions th same. I'm no dev but i think it's because all the drivers and code still exist somewhere so it runs smooth. I ran cyogenmod with the lg g3 camera app on my g2. So 4k video with amazing software and vanilla android. It's a win win. But they again i would change roms every 2 weeks to try new things.
[G4 General] Zachary droid:
Since the battery is the same as the g3, can I use my 6000mAh battery in the g4, or is it a different architecture, even tho they are the same size,. Was always curious about that
[G4 General] Usraek:
Different batteries. Pins changed.
[G4 General] HLyons:
So I'm getting mine next week (hopefully I don;t have the OTA already pre-installed). The worst thing I've heard about this phone is sometimes the touches don't register so it may take a few touches or swipes to do what you want. Is this is an LG software thing? By all accounts it looks like rooting the phone may not be as important since its a such a decent performer out of the box but I know that will drive me up the wall (Its what I hated about the iPhone 6.......amongst other things).
[G4 General] dvgb173:
It becomes quite an annoyance after a while.

[G4 General] painedglass:
I had the X-Cam app on my G3, it was a LOT better than the stock camera app. I'm hoping someone does the same thing with the camera app this beast runs. I think the weak point is the post processing, makes it look like an oil painting when zoomed

in. The G4, as opposed to the S6 has both phase detection auto focus, and laser auto focus.
[G4 General] :
My 6000mah worked on my g4 just no backing for it. For my extra 3000mah did not.
[G4 General] rfarrah:
Or not. It's not necessarily that common. No problems here.
[G4 General] spotmark:
Woohoo! Free battery, charger, and memory card last month. Free battery, charger, and leather cover this month. Thanks LG!
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
You got both?! I could care less for the leather cover, so I didn't bother with that one.
[G4 General] spotmark:
Took a little doctoring, but I got it though. ;)
[G4 General] DsturbD:
nice. just got my email that my batter, charger, and leather cover are on the way, now i have 2 leather covers, wishing i had gotten the regular back so i could put skins on it though
[G4 General] spotmark:
The leather cover is one of the reasons I wanted this phone. I see people talking about cases, and I think why the heck would you cover up that beautiful back. I got the phone with the black back, but for the promo I ordered the red one. That will be my dress back. :)
[G4 General] DsturbD:
well i went with the leather since it was the same price and got a case for it with a clear back so it can still be seen, i got the red one too, would love the black one
[G4 General] spotmark:
I thought about a clear case, but just couldn't bring myself to do it.
[G4 General] IlyaKol:
The leather is utter garbage. I was SOOO disappointed in it that I paid some Chinese company on Ebay $50 to ship me a white ceramic one. People call that leather? It's pleather, if anything.

Now the phone is nice an white with a clear Spigen case. Looks much better than a naked G4 + black leather back.
[G4 General] DsturbD:
it is real leather, just really thin, but if you take care of it like you would anything made out of leather it will last. i hear people complaining about it wearing off on the edges from them sliding it in their pockets, so get a dang case for it already and take better care of it. i paid 13 bucks for a clear case so the leather doesnt get stained or wet or wear out, money well spent

but to each his own

this is the one i got

[G4 General] IlyaKol:
It's not an issue of taking care of it, for me. It's an issue that it feels like plastic (probably because it is that thin). It's a marketing gimmick through and through. It's actually slippier than the plastic cover, IMO.
[G4 General] spotmark:
Well, to each their own. I love it.
[G4 General] IlyaKol:
Has there been any more mention of an ETA for root? Last I knew they were trying to perfect a method that is safe for all variants. How's that going?
[G4 General] spotmark:
One of the devs said, "soon", but that was about 3-4 weeks ago, so who knows. I've already decided that if a new, smaller than 6 inch Nexus arrives, before we see root, I will be selling my G4 and getting that. As long as it's supported by Verizon.
[G4 General] IlyaKol:
Yeah I think that's the same update I read. I'm hoping they get it cause I need root in my life! Although, the reason why I need it is mostly Xposed (which I don't think works on this phone either).
[G4 General] DsturbD:
im with you guys on that, if it takes that long to get root and an unlocked bootloader for the G4 then i will be getting the new Nexus as well, but i'm hopeful, i predict it will be coming soon
[G4 General] thenewbigmack:
Some people are way too impatient....
[G4 General] spotmark:
The LG Nexus 2015, if it even comes to fruition, isn't rumored until some time in October. I don't consider 4-5 months impatient. Especially when new models come out about once a year.
[G4 General] aaronrw:
Most flagships don't have to wait months for root. The m9 is a great example although htc allowing a boot loader unlock helps greatly
[G4 General] DonJuan692006:
A company called Joto sales a clear case on Amazon for $10 that works with the leather backs. It's a really good fit and very clear. I haven't had mine long enough to comment on durability yet though.
[G4 General] creaky:
I'm thinking of going the same route. It will really boil down to the specs of the new nexus 5.
[G4 General] sandroiduser:
+1
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Once we get rooted and unlocked the G4 will be a N5 2015 killer.
[G4 General] spotmark:
I hope you're right, but I don't know how you can say that when,

1. We don't know that we will be getting rooted and unlocked.

2. We don't know the specs, or if there even will be a Nexus 5 2015.
[G4 General] rfarrah:
Word on the street is that LG is building the 2015 Nexus:

I think, by that time, "once", will become "once upon a time" for majority of G4 users.

Instead,

I'm wondering if codefire is not angry to see one of the exploits already burnt.

I guess they were waiting for a substantial update from LG before releasing the refined root method.

I would have preferred to have it rooted also on the phone last update in 2016-2017 instead of seeing it rushed too early.

Just my guess
[G4 General] Simmster:
Guys, quick question for you. I see there's now a chance of getting root without an unlocked bootloader. What does having a locked bootloader mean and what difference does it make once you get root? I mean what can't you do if you have root but with a locked bootloader?
[G4 General] aaronrw:
Locked boot loader no recovery no roms
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
Autoprime already went over this, Google if you don't want to search it.

Not true at all.

Sent from my G4 using your mom
[G4 General] Snakecharmed:
It's easier for you to say that considering you have an H815. I consider myself to be a patient man, but nobody who wants root that badly is going to idly stand by for a root method in 2016 or 2017 for a phone that was released in Q2 2015. They'll say one of the following:

"Screw it, I'll use the phone as-is."

"Screw it, I'm getting another phone, preferably one made by a company not hostile to modders."

"Screw it, I'm selling this carrier-restricted/bloated POS and getting an H815 on eBay."

[G4 General] onlinejobwork:
Never seen any device cost £529 can we call it budget device ?
[G4 General] Ace42:
That price is far from a budget price range...the Idol 3, Moto G, P70, and Zenfone 2 are the current budget devices starting under $300. LG's G line is designed to compete with other flagships, not low-mid range.
[G4 General] ThePhoneGeek:
Well at $529 it certainly is more budget friendly than the M9 or S6 both of which being in high $600s to mid $700s.

LG would have an up hill battle trying to convince users to part with $650+ for a device that doesn't have the same/equivalent processor as the M9/S6.
[G4 General] Ace42:
Maybe, but when I say budget I'm referring to users of prepaid plans or cheaper MVNO's that exist. Those users probably don't have the same funds to dish out $400+ on a phone, since those people tend to have contracts or higher tier plans. It's just like with PC's where the HP Steam line is extremely budget friendly versus the expensive Surface products from M$.

guess it depends on what you are playing. i stream iheart radio 2 hours a day on my commute to work. some songs sound fantastic, others not so much. i chalk that up to the app and what they stream and where i am in regards to lte signal. i've not noticed any bluetooth audio issues

Bluetooth audio is fine when streaming music but hiccups from time to time. Bluetooth refuses to stay connected in one of my cars for calls.

I connect to my Yamaha home theater receiver through Bluetooth and haven't had any problems with sound quality. Use Google Music and Spotify without any problems.
[G4 General] Swetnes:
Not only is that not true. Just look at development on the G2 which never had an unlocked boot loader (except for T-Mobile). But unlocking the boot loader has a VERY BIG disadvantage. Its permanent. Therefore bye bye warranty. Keeping the boot loader locked and using the Loki or Bump method for getting recovery allows you to restore the phone to 100% stock with full warranty. Unlock the boot loader well you are on your own. [emoji39]
