Like I've said before, having the toggle doesn't mean you can unlock your bootloader, we can't until an exploit is found or LG change there mind.
[G4 General] liquidraven:
Just did my pre order today, can't wait!!
[G4 General] bilbobrian:
Does it have any Verizon branding on the front? Please say no :)
[G4 General] JaeKay:
It doesn't.
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
Got some questions for ya!

I'm going to be coming from Samsung (owned S4, currently have S5) and had some questions.

Have you had a Samsung before? How is UX 4.0 in regards to Touchjizz? Is everything smooth, any lag, etc etc?

If you tap "Build" in the About Phone section, does it unlock Developer Options as well?

How's the camera on this thing? Looks fantastic so far from online articles talking about it.

How's Lollipop 5.1?

This is it...for now ;) Thanks!
[G4 General] Phurkus:
SIncie you work in verizon can you confirm that june 4 is the official release day?

any idea on pricing? (not sure if it was asked already)

know when we can preorder?
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
This is all pretty much known stuff.

You can PO right now at Best Buy and get $100 gift card. That is likely going to beat any offer from Verizon directly and likely even Amazon.

And June 4th is confirmed.

And pricing is pretty much confirmed... $609.00 full retail and like $200 on contract.
[G4 General] trikotret:
Verizon has it listed at 549 retail ship day is June 1. They also have black leather
[G4 General] madmaverickmatt:
I just noticed that myself bestbuy still says $609 though. I hope they are going to update their pricing. I have a pre-order with them.
[G4 General] Gzan23:
Doesn't bestbuy always have prices higher than the carriers full prices? And for some reason I remember them not price matching very easily.
[G4 General] amarentine:
how is the user interface? I'm planning to buy 1.
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
I called them & they said they would not price match the $549. So unless the update pricing - which is why I'm keeping my preorder for now - I will end up cancelling the BB po.
[G4 General] Phurkus:
How fast is the shipping? If I order tomorrow black leather when is your opinion that it might come?
[G4 General] pfizzle:
I have the same question! I'm planning on preordering today in the store, do you know when it would ship?
[G4 General] sipock97:
Just pre-ordered mine in black leather. Could not resist that camera.
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
You will notice that black leather shows - in red - as June 1 while the others colors do not. And the rep told me it was back ordered, which is why it showed June 1. But if June 1 is ship then, that could mean 3-4th which is same day you can pick up from BB. At the same time, Verizon often will ship earlier than in store if they get it, so it "could" come even before JUne 3-4. IMHO.
[G4 General] madmaverickmatt:
I spoke with them today and they said they would price match, but only for the same color, which is tricky. Basically I think that means white is the only option. Even that I'm not sure if it's the same white. On bestbuy's sight it says ceramic white. On Verizon's I don't see and description of the color.
[G4 General] Dysan1558:
Is the FM radio operational or blocked on the verizon version?
[G4 General] asdecker:
Ordered my black leather G4 this morning. Can't wait to compare to my G3.
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
Only 1 "white" - ceramic. BB and VZW have the same"white".

And if they only will match on color - which is not what I was told but you know how that goes with retail customer service people - BB does not have the black leather.
[G4 General] madmaverickmatt:
I know. I honestly doubt it will work out, but I guess it can't hurt to try. I was looking forward to blue, but I'm going to put it in a case anyway so I can make that sacrifice lol.
[G4 General] oneandroidnut:
any photos of a leather back one?
[G4 General] madmaverickmatt:
Ok so I called back to switch to the white pre-order and I got someone who I assume was a manager this time. He offered to match the price no matter what color I opted for. Note, he did say that this would only likely work for a full retail purchase; but that's what I was going for anyway so I'm psyched. If that's the case then I will be a happy camper. I guess the real answer is that it's up to the managers digression.

Fingers crossed.
[G4 General] Fightoffyoredeamons:
Im coming from an S6..

TW lollipop is much better than kk. It is extremely fast on the s6. Ive never had an LG phone so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I have noticed more lag than the S6.

You can unlock dev options.

I love the camera on the phone but to me it looks like LG is trying to "smooth" out the images, and that bugs me.
[G4 General] Rippley05:
Just curious if Verizon gutted LG apps, like browser, notes , etc...like they did with the s6.

I don't like hearing that you see lag...that's what killed the G3 for me. All the rave reviews on that phone, and it lagged and stuttered like a cheap tracfone
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
Hah so then... IF they also honor the $100 gift card as well, then in this case the BB is then the better deal. You just have to go buy a pricey leather back - if you want one.

I might call back now and see if I get a different answer :) if I can get BB to match the price and give the $100 gift card, I might then keep my BB preorder and track down the leather back I want when they become more available.
[G4 General] Rippley05:
Are the g4 and s6 sim cards the same size? I prefer to just swap them rather than going through Verizon
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
...you can't swap an S6 sim as you cannot open the phone.

Sent from my S5 using your mom
[G4 General] JaeKay:
Uhh... Yes you can

There's a Sim card slot on the side.

And I belive both are the nano kinds, not micro.
[G4 General] geoff5093:
I can't say for certain, but most new phones have been using nano sims as standard for a while, so yes you could. You can always buy a SIM cutter and adapters.

The SIM isn't embedded, you can remove it. The SIM tray is on the side.
[G4 General] Rippley05:
Thanks guys
[G4 General] tapanzee:
No wifi calling - even thru app like Skype?
[G4 General] poeypresents:
that dennis guy is a complete idiot, TWICE he has said stupid things with no factual information just his crazy guesses...
[G4 General] woozzy101:
Unfortunately the LG G4 uses a Micro-SIM card. Almost every other new phone uses a Nano-SIM card (smaller). So unless you get a SIM adapter, you will not be able to switch between an S6 and a G4 :(
[G4 General] Rippley05:
Well crap.

I got my preorder vzw G4 yesterday. It's definitely a micro sim. I used an adapter and pulled the nano from my nexus 6 so I could go between the 2 phones. Not having root is killing me. So much bloat!
[G4 General] pfizzle:
I'm jealous! I still haven't seen any updates on my black leather one, no tracking number or anything

My buddy ordered his Wednesday night and said shipping on 6-1. I guess you got lucky.
[G4 General] scrillakev:
Usual Verizon stuff? Mind sending over a screen shot? I forgot how bad having bloatware on a phone was. ;\
[G4 General] boynamedstacy:
A bunch of crap. Usual Verizon apps, I think 5 of them. NFL mobile, 5 amazon apps, a few games etc. Only 3 or 4 of those are deletable. I switched launchers and loaded my own apps so a screen shot wouldn't be very helpful.

[G4 General] jackwagon06:
I pre ordered mine in black leather at a vzw store on Friday. Rep showed me rendering on his pc behind the counter, and the only branding was on the back, branded in the leather, right above the speaker port. Smaller than the plastic back ones.

So as I'm ordering it, he is telling me that I know have vzw navigator, etc. Asked him to take it off, said he couldn't but it's free for 30 days. Anybody else have that?

Lastly, looking at my receipt, they are charging me a $40 activation fee on my next bill. Wtf? I'm swapping the sim from my g3! No activation required because I purchased it outright! Calling vzw today....
[G4 General] boynamedstacy:
Btw, our Verizon variant is missing the "allow oem unlock" option in developer settings ? Most others have it

Were you really expecting it to be there? Lol

Sent from my S5 using your mom
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
Man... I have been watching this phone for months. I have been all over daily news, rumors, keeping up on release dates, etc. I PO my VZW phone on the 27th at 8pm when the PO link got released hours early. I was on it.

I ended up getting boned - they messed my order up - and did not rectify it in time to ship with all of the leather PO so mine will not come until Tuesday. Some people ordered 2 days after me and are getting theirs before me or already have theirs :( (irritated)
[G4 General] boynamedstacy:
I was. Just because the option is there doesn't mean that there is an exploit for it. That option is a standard lollipop setting. Needless to say I'm not surprised, though lol
[G4 General] larsdennert:
I wonder if the international version will work on Verizon? These days I bet it's just a software thing. Although the imei would need to be registered.
[G4 General] oneandroidnut:
that doesnt even unlock it still requires a command to do so

[G4 General] docfong:
Anyone get their VZ black leather G4 yet? I am curious if the buttons on the back are gold or grey like the other carriers did. Thanks!
[G4 General] geoff5093:
Received mine this morning. They appear to be a light gold. The plastic-feeling leather also has a pressed Verizon logo on the bottom left.
[G4 General] docfong:
Ehhh I was afraid of that.... The grey buttons with the black look much better IMO

Hopefully there is a easy way to swap them with different color button assembly
[G4 General] pfizzle:
I hope I like the leather once I get mine tomorrow. I got the leather since it was the same price as plastic, I figured it would be cheaper to purchase a plastic back in the future if i dont like the leather
[G4 General] geoff5093:
I think it looks nicer than the plastic, and does feel a bit better, but I'm really underwhelmed by the plastic feeling and hardness of the leather. It really does remind me of the fake leather Samsung used on the Note, it doesn't feel real at all.
[G4 General] distortedloop:
I ordered mine at 12:30 AM on Thursday the 28th and had it in hand at 10:30 AM on Friday the 29th.
[G4 General] docfong:
That's disappointing, with all the bragging LG did about the leather I am surprised.

My buddy got the brown one from Tmo. I'm curious how that one compares.

The OEM back are selling for around $68 on ebay. Crazy!

Ok. So Verizon again stripped LGs browser and task apps, it's extremely annoying. Also, this phone only stays at 100 percent brightness for a few minutes before it drops to 80 to avoid over heating. It's aggressive with it too...I'd rather not have this screen if this is really necessary.

Proverbs‬ *16‬:*20‬
[G4 General] razvu:
I tried one for a day, returned it.

Here are my thoughts after a day of use:

Signal seemed pretty strong, no issues with the reception.

One weird thing, you can see the signal strength for 4g and 1x, not for 3g.

Call quality: apparently not so good, from what the other person told me.

Camera: awesome! The laser AF and low light are working very well.

Screen: very good, bright enough.

Battery life: I didn't have time to test it enough, but it seemed to drain quite fast when using the phone, more testing needed.

Removable SD card and battery, required for my needs, big plus.

I was seriously thinking to keep it, and learn how not to use the pen on my existing note3, but then it hit me, hard I have to say: I could not use data while on the phone! WTF LG, it's 2015, I had simultaneous signal on my Thunderbolt, Bionic and Note 3! What did they think when they designed this phone? The moment you make a call, it switches to 1x and disables data, even though you are in a 4g area. There is no option to select 3g, and I don't think voice and data work together while in 3g, even if they would, what's the point, if you can't select 3g?

I returned it, got the Note 4 instead, at least I can browse while I talk, I will miss the camera though, that thing was awesome, if you need a great camera, I would say it's the best so far!

If you can live with the (major) drawback of not being able to use Internet and voice simultaneously, it seems like a good phone, hopefully LG will unlock the bootloader, there may be some good roms. For me, it just didn't work.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikececc:
Thanks for having me here on XDA. I have been a reader for a year now, but never registered until today when the need arose for assistance that I am sure XDA's community can provide. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, I did try searching the forums here and got no hits, and the info I got via google is contradictory from source to source.

I got a Nexus 6 straight from VZ. (Off contract, full retail). One day later I received my Project Fi invite, and I'd like to take my nexus and run. The salesman at the VZW store swears my device is fully unlocked and will work with any compatible carrier, but searching google gets me different stories.

Can I use the nexus I got from them on Fi? Do I need to do anything other than remove it from my Verizon account and pop the new Fi SIM in?

And lastly, when I pop in the new Fi SIM will it affect or remove my apps & settings I added while it was active on VZ?

I'm not closing the VZ account so if Fi turns out to be a bomb or not to have the coverage I need I still have good ol' big red, but I am optimistic about Fi based on what I have read, despite it being new. I love the android platform and especially the unflavored android os, so I'm hoping Fi proves to be the perfect match.

It might be very simple to all you educated guys, but I am sure there are a few more like me that are a bit baffled by some of the threads on here.

What would be REALLY nice would be a 'simple' step-by-step guide to installing wm6 on our devices, and what we need to download to achieve it, eg "you need this for MDACIII, and this for O2 Orbit"

Obviously anyone trying it runs the risk of buggering up their phone, but that's their own fault.

Any volunteers?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] magpie2000k:
having asked the same question myself here goes.

Download USPL and follow the instructions. they are very clear.

Download

extract

connect phone with minimum 50% battery

soft reset and once started up fully run the app by clicking on Rom Update utility

follow the process through once finished your device will restart.

once restarted you then can flash the rom of your choice

I used Black and Blue again ran the update utility and bingo.

dont forget that all data on your device will be lost so make sure you have back up of contacts etc in outlook on pc.

Finaly make sure you have Activesync 4.5

enjoy

AS STATED ALTHOUGH THIS WORKS YOU ALL DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

Id just like to know really is that how many people have done it without unlocking the device for o2 orbit uk. i have one and am not really willing to try it unless i know there are people out there that have tried it and it worked.

as there is no rom install file from o2 for this, there is no way bacj and bricked phone is the only way forward. id like not to brick my phone as i need it daily.

so, has anyone with a locked o2 device upgraded to WM6 successfully and which rom did you use if it worked.?

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] markquinton:
Taken from Bepe's thread about the modified o2 German update. Basically you need to use the Artemis USPL program and then use the first link to install which I did successfully on a CID locked phone.

Thanks guys, but, unfortunately, the uspl thing does not work on my pc :(

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] crushuk:
hi..

i have O2 uk orbit.. which is still locked, i fully charged the battery, completed a hard reset of the phone used the pof Artemis Update SPL (USPL) v.01 upgrade (wow what a brain box he is!) just in case it failed, so i could you use any NBH file to get you orbit to work again if i failed. Then used Bepe's WM6 os.nb file renamed it to windows.nb downloaded ATRE.zip unzipped the ARTE.zip file placed the windows.nb into the same directory, don't forget to edit UpgradeRom.bat file 0x3900000 to 0x3500000 with in the ATRE directory and copied and installed EnableRapi.cab to the phone. Reset it the phone and then started the UpgradeRom.bat! 12 mins later upgrade complete. Hard restart the phone.. Chewing nails by now... all went well did a soft reset of the phone before the O2 ExtROM autorun starts..

sorted, and did half way though a night shift at 3 am.. not bad at all!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] grun:
Confused... is it really necessary to take all these steps? I thought that the only thing required is to run Pof's tool USPL, and after that run Romupdateutility.exe from the package in .nbh format (the link is just a few messages above yours). Please correct me when I'm wrong.
