Got pic to see how bad it is?? I'm worried now cause I ordered the leather one too! :confused:

Its been a month an nobodies been able to root it! 30 minutes to root?? LOL

5.1 has us locked down like a jail house!

Sweet! I returned the G3 to get the G4. :)
[G4 General] LancerV:
Its been out like 3days ,if the bootloader is unlocked its an easy root just modify the boot.img and you're done
[G4 General] IlyaKol:
Mine is on the UPS truck for delivery! Sweeetttt.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Well I hope your right! When you get yours???
[G4 General] LancerV:
Monday damn weekends
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Mine too!! I wonder if I call 611 they can reimburse me for overnight shipping and tell them I thought it was suppose to be for free! :D

Ouch!!! The wait would give me a heart attack ! I'd have to double up on my high blood pressure meds! lol
[G4 General] LancerV:
Yeah mines in Dallas right now so hopefully the truck doesnt float away

Too soon junior :p

For those 13 seconds or less, I am free.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
You almost had me? You never had me. You never had your car.

Granny shiftin', not double clutchin' like you should..

Sorry, got carried away!
[G4 General] IlyaKol:
Bwahaha, good stuff. Helps pass the time till Mr. Brown Shorts pulls into my driveway.
[G4 General] NicoC72:
Someone already tried Kingroot, said it didn't work. I'm not sure if they did the OEM unlock first though. I might do some digging around later, see what I can find.
[G4 General] mypantsaretorn:
Holding up with phone off and then plugging in the USB worked for me. I ran fastboot oem unlock and nothing would happed. Terminal is stuck on <waiting for device> and phone just stays on the bootloader screen but it is really really dim.
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
You guys submitting for both promos the 128GB mSD and the 32GB sSD Battery & charging cradle. Doing both at same time or waiting for the one to ship before the other ? I just did the 128GB one used the signed EIP agreement pdf the was emailed for the receipt hopefully that was correct.
[G4 General] bikrame:
I did at same time too. I read somewhere Tmobile customers are getting both offers. I did also send picture of imei.
[G4 General] IlyaKol:
My phone just came in.

What sites are you guys using?

For battery and 32 gb there is another one. Search on google. I forgot lol
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
How do we claim this?
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
Coo just did the other one as well. Yes I sent picture of the imei as well.

Heres the battery one from LG

You win the Albany, NY social experiment! Mine got pushed back to the 1st. Seems ground is really 2 day air so I'll get it Monday. I can wait, though, my G3 is still great.
[G4 General] NicoC72:
Just open the Drive app that comes on the phone. It will tell you that you can claim 100GB, asks to choose an account, and you're done!

[G4 General] CashmereEsquire:
One back only

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

Ordered the same one
[G4 General] fix-this!:
You should be able to root it. Im mobile so i can post the link. Search lg tribute auto root. The app roots many different lg models including the new g4 stylus aka stylo. I actually played with the stylo today at tmobile and its a damn good device for $290 bucks. 2gb ram, 16gb storage, sd card, s410 quad core, 13mp cam and remarkably the 720p lcd looks killer since its hd. Ill probably be going with the stylo, i also prefer the design, look and feel. The g4 while higher end is too much for me to finance.
[G4 General] wolfgart:
just tried that on my H815 but it doesn't works on G4. Exploit it seems to be just patched :(
[G4 General] LancerV:
http://www.kingroot.net/down#root

Try this if it fails the first time try multiple times
[G4 General] smw6180:
'Root strategy unavailable

no strategy now'

Got that 10 times in a row.
[G4 General] IlyaKol:
lol. If there was a way for you to cancel, I'd just give you mine. Otherwise, I'm returning it.

I can't have TMo unlock it because I don't have a plan with them and I don't want to deal with 3rd parties. Especially because, evidently, the TMo and AT&T versions use different bands, etc. I want my Cricket SIM to work at optimal efficiency. I'll just get a legit AT&T one instead.

If you still want to take mine so I don't have to deal with returning it and want to cancel your order or return to sender, we can meet up before Monday so you get it a day or two earlier.
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
Anyone know why our version doesn't have a user mode or why we don't have face detect anymore?? They.need to add these..
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Finally got it on. Very snug fit on leather cover and cery hard to get it off. But looks awesome!

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

OMG, the camera is sick!!! I zoomed in on the picture taken of this bug and the detsils r incredible.
[G4 General] fix-this!:
That sucks lg and tmob would lock the g4 down. They didnt with the g stylo.
[G4 General] LancerV:
Well we dont really know the full bootloader status yet so I wouldnt say its locked down just yet
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
LancerV, tell me what steps to try to unlock this bootloader?
[G4 General] smw6180:
I'm not sure it's possible to get INTO the bootloader to check. I've tried every way I know to even get booted into it, nothing works. I've gotten into download mode and recovery, but not bootloader.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Only way I know is you need root first! Without root, nothing is possible with LG! With root we can try this for true bootloader unlock:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-t-mobile-l90-t2836457

Once we get root, all thing will be possible. A new bump will have to be developed to override LG's aboot protection on 5.1. Then custom TWRP. Then my xTreme ROM will come! :)
[G4 General] owlensteed:
I'm on the original, every 3 months new phone
[G4 General] 20degrees:
On the original what?
[G4 General] owlensteed:
I am on the first jump plan, where I can get a new phone every 3 months, I love that. Just got the LG G4, not digging it as much as I thought I would, so now wait 3 months and try again.
[G4 General] LancerV:
What don't you like
[G4 General] owlensteed:
I'm not a fan of the back button, the performance is nothing special either. LG compares the note 4 to this phone. I came from the note 4.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Takes a while to learn how to use the back button, since previous phones have taught us that ergonomics is not important.

I guess you'll get to trade it in for the upcoming Note 5 soon.
[G4 General] LancerV:
You really don't need the back button except for volume. Just double tap screen and it wakes, speed is quicker than the note 4 for me.
[G4 General] jagman96:
Does unlocking the bootloader affect the ability to get a new phone with JUMP?
[G4 General] LancerV:
Doubt it, same thing with Knox.
[G4 General] Coderedpl:
How exactly are you calculating 3 months?

I thought it was twice every 12 months? Which would mean every 6.....

I'm on original jump aswell
[G4 General] WorldIRC:
Did the box that came with your phones have any T-Mobile markings on it...or was it OEM LG packaging?
[G4 General] owlensteed:
First the back vol rocker and power button is just hard to get used to that's all. The speed is snappier, not that noticible for me. I'm on the original jump program that allows every 3 months for new phone. Basically leasing it for 24 a month. The packaging is all LG, no T-Mobile in sight so that's nice as well.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
Twice a year. Not every three months.
[G4 General] mrmacedonian:
I just received my TMobile G4 last night. I charged it and this morning have had several hours to play with it.

I am quite disappointed with the screen. Anywhere there is a white icon (Play Store, Google Search Bar) I see a grey grid. If I open an all-white screen like Chrome etc it's horrible! It's so frustrating looking at an old Galaxy S4 screen and that looks so much better than this new G4.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Is this a design flaw (I read *many* reports of this with the G3 and experienced it myself so I skipped it) or is this a bad unit? I am around 6-8" away from the screen in a lot of my use and at angles it happens further away.

I can't believe that LG would release a screen of such poor quality especially after experiencing how bad this problem was last year on several G3 units from friends and in retail stores.
[G4 General] WorldIRC:
Is there a lot of T-Mo bloat on the phones?
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Can I see a screen shot of what you mean?
[G4 General] smw6180:
I don't have that issue at all, but I've been using the blinkfeed launcher since the 2nd day I had the thing. Try a different launcher in case it's some kind of 'feature'. Heh.
[G4 General] mrmacedonian:
I can try to capture it? It would be a physical issue with likely the digitizer (that's what it was attributed to w/ the G3). I will setup my DSLR and attempt to capture it.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Oh hmm if it's the digitizer, then I'd totally send it back for a new phone.. I had a similiar issue with the G2 and ended up having the digitizer and screen replaced many times - it was NOT fun.
[G4 General] inick73376:
Mine said "T-Mobile" On the Side.
[G4 General] mrmacedonian:
I've been trying to capture it but my DSLR will not. I can see it on the screen when I'm manually focusing but the sensor fails to capture the lines/grid I see.

I put my old Galaxy S4, an iPhone 5 and 6 all next to each other, viewing from same distance and angles and none of the other screens show lines like that. It's incredibly annoying/distracting in normal operation otherwise I would not worry about it.

Anytime I look at a Google Search bar it looks greyish and that draws my eyes and focus then I see the grid of lighter lines and slightly darker squares. I've asked a few friends and they all see it but they don't notice it as much as I do in normal operation.

I was hoping I was crazy.
[G4 General] LancerV:
Mine the same way heres pics

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9HQXnvM_c5ldF9oOVVDeDhyY3c&authuser=0
[G4 General] mrmacedonian:
oh wow yeah that's even worse than what I'm experiencing.

I guess the only thing we can do it ask for a replacement and hope for the best? When my iPhone 5 came messed up out of the box I went to the store and made them open boxes until I got a good one. I'm worried the new one will come the same. I went through that with the G3 and just gave up. I can't believe they're shipping such poor quality units.
[G4 General] blackangst:
That is now how jump 1.0 works. You can make your FIRST jump AFTER 6 months of your date, then after that make your second jump ANY time in the remaining 6 months for a total of 2 jumps in 12 months. There is no jump program that allows 4 jumps/year.
[G4 General] m0j0:
I am reading this thread on Tapatalk with my new T-Mo G4.

I can't get the bootloader to work either. :P

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Actually, surprisingly it seems relatively light. There's the usual stuff like Visual Voice Mail, but that's not a bad thing.

It is nice to not have a bunch of crap like Rhapsody to uninstall.
[G4 General] LancerV:
Yeah I was going to go to the store tomorrow and ask them and see a demo there
[G4 General] Pantslessape:
Wouldn't you also need to pay $50 for a month of service?

debating on getting the leather or not may or may not like it. It would be nice if you got both covers in the US.

Would be easier and cheaper to get a plastic back later IMO. I'd go for the leather exclusive.
[G4 General] shook187:
So tempted to dump my S6 for the G4. Battery life being the only reason

I ordered mine around 6:30am EDT, but I did ground shipping.
[G4 General] gsxcorey:
Has anyone been able to confirm if the tmobile version lets you flash a recovery or is it a locked bootloader?

Yup. Plastic cover will cost 4-5 dollar on ebay later. Genuine leather is expensive . I order brown leather one.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
I literally just got a shipping text. ?
[G4 General] Sfkn2:

I havent seen a tmobile phone with a locked bootloader yet so I would be suprised if it was

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

[G4 General] randpost:
I've only had my S6 for a few days, but so far the battery has been excellent, close to 5 hour screen on time and 22 total time. still have 19% left. Would be impossible to beat the G4 though since we will be getting 2 batteries (eventually) all included in the retail price.
[G4 General] DrexelDragon:
Lol placed my order well before some of you that have tracking numbers and I still don't have mine. Bull**** happens every single time.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
Ship it over night? Jump or not?
[G4 General] DrexelDragon:
Overnight of course. No jump
[G4 General] 20degrees:
I'm jump. I believe jump gets the front of the line.

Could be wrong though.
[G4 General] llaugerm:
I have my Nexus 6 for a few days too almost weeks and I'm sending it back. I placed my order around 11:00 EST. I picked overnight.
[G4 General] 20degrees:

[G4 General] jaggrey:
Did you do overnight shipping also? I wonder if those are going out first. This is reminding me of the Nexus 6 all over again... lol. I did JUMP as well.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Nope, regular shipping for $6.99. No JUMP for me.
[G4 General] jaggrey:
I did regular shipping and JUMP. Hopefully I'll get something this afternoon. I ordered at 6:30am EDT.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
You ordered before I did and you haven't gotten a tracking number yet? Did they already charge your card? Can you track your order on TMO's website?
[G4 General] DrexelDragon:
If that's true that's bull**** lol
[G4 General] Gzan23:
I ordered at 1:30am Pacific Time overnight shipping and just got my shipping notice 15 minutes ago.
[G4 General] jaggrey:
Nope, no tracking number and they already charged my card. When I try to track the order it says I need to wait 24 hours before I can track the order with their tool.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Oh hm, you're absolutely right. I can't seem to track my order on TMO's website either. Hopefully you'll get your tracking number soon. I hate waiting around, but it seems to be the only way to get the G4 at this time.
[G4 General] aaronc_98:
I wish T-mo had the black leather exclusive, I think that I like that better. But I have not seen the brown in person. maybe it will grow on me. ANyway, should have it tomorrow...
[G4 General] gsxcorey:
Awesome. I hope that is the case. With verizon now, but about to tell them to pound sand as I'm sick of buying developer edition samsung phones to have an open bootloader. Going to tmobile the minute our local store get this phone in stock. Still a bit torn between this or the S6, but so far I'm learning towards the G4.
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
Regarding pre-orders and tracking info..
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Uh... arrival date of 6/5? They said they are supposed to be delivered before the stores get it on 6/3..
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
It will be.. They just have to give you the latest possible date so we aren't calling every few hours asking about it because there won't be any updated tracking info until we probably already get the device.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Yeah, but people on reddit are posting tracking info with tomorrow as arrival date.

Mine says 6/4, but I am unable to track with UPS still.
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
They probably got overnight shipping. I'm on ground..
[G4 General] frigidazzi:
It depends on where you live. The tmobile version has less bands than say the s6. So if you get the tmobile g4 (like I was initially planning to do, but decided against it) you still not have all the 3g/lte bands. Like I said that depends on where you live if that's relevant or not. I pre preordered the att from best buy for the 100 dollar gift card. If Amazon releases the international version before att releases then I will get that instead. Here's a link to the bands.

The Sony Z3 came with a locked bootloader than wasn't unlockable (unlike the international version). One of the reasons I never bought the phone.

So I live in NY. Mostly use my phone in the US. Do you think I'll run into any problems using the T-mo G4 on AT&T? Or should I wait for the international version (assuming it has an unlocked bootloader)?

[G4 General] brusslesprouts:
Got the leather! Hope to get it soon!!
[G4 General] IlyaKol:
The 'due now' price was only for the tax + shipping + SIM kit. If I cancel the service as soon as I get it, I don't see why I'd have to pay $50.

That being said, someone on droid-life posted this. Should I be worried/return the phone for the purpose of what I'm trying to do (use it on AT&T/Cricket)?

Also, I ordered my phone at 11:39AM EST and it says 'being processed' as of 10:58PM EST. Doesn't look like it shipped today. WTF did I pay overnight shipping for!?
[G4 General] Andromendous:
So... Will the tmobile G4 have a unlocked bootloader?
[G4 General] NicoC72:
Ordered mine this morning, shortly after the listing went up. Phone already shipped and has made it through the UPS Worldport. Should arrive tomorrow, all on the basic 5-7 day shipping!
[G4 General] Semantics:
You paid for overnight shipping so when the phone ships, you get it overnight. I'm pretty sure that overnight shipping doesn't include rush processing as well. This is why I never pay for overnight shipping, because it make take 3 days of processing before it ships, so what's a couple extra days?

Just ordered mine, paid the cheap shipping as my G3 is working fine, also ordered the grey back. Diztronic states their case does not work with the leather and I like to keep my devices scratch free and the extra grip don't hurt either.
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
What's the point of JUMP again. I thought they said it was not worth the cost to stay on JUMP. The one's that have it is it mostly for the insurance that comes with it. I usually get Square Trade warranty I know it doesn't cover Loss/Theft but Tmobile deductible is $175 compared to $75 and only $100 for 2year coverage. On Jump thought you had to pay 50% of the phone off right I even heard you had have 50% of paid before you can put a claim on the phone is this true. Can someone post a breakdown how it works the best or how it's not worth it.

Example the LG G4 have to pay 50% since it was 0% down you have to pay $300 before you can Jump and say in 6 months you want to Jump. You only paid monthly for 6months so you still would have to pay another $150 before you can Jump , total cost with jump $360 and you still trade in old phone. Now if you don't have Jump in those 6 months you only paid the monthly on the phone so $150 after 6 months now you would have to sell this phone or pay it off before you could upgrade is that correct?
