I thought if you updated you wouldn't have the new modem or kernel?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
no. that is the whole reason [MENTION=6559083]GameTheory.[/MENTION] made that update, so that we WOULD get the new modem and kernel
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ShadowAndroidFanatic:
Ah okay thanks :)
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
That's correct, forgot to add the follow

1- when you flash 10i do a full backup of 10i,

2- Restore using 10i kdz.

3. Root using lp 5.1.1 one click root from OP.

4. Flash TWRP.

5- use either [MENTION=6559083]GameTheory.[/MENTION] Reboot app or quickboot and reboot to Recovery.

6. Restore your last backup (10i) but uncheck Boot & cache.

7. Your are done now you are with new modem/kernel and data.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ShadowAndroidFanatic:
[MENTION=6559083]GameTheory.[/MENTION] Hey I can't seem to find the update zip file for 10i on your website. Is there another link or way you can get it to me? Thanks :)
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
Use my guide linked in the first post of this thread to update firmware with kdz. Just make a twrp backup first. Then update firmware and root and install twrp. After that you can restore "data" only from your twrp backup to get your user apps and settings back.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ShadowAndroidFanatic:
Oh okay thank you :)
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Just wanna add restoring using KDZ will wipe internal storage so if you have important things on your internal storage safe them to SDCARD the external storage (sdcard) will not be touch
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Krlypumaa:
I would like to add that after all that is done " iF " you want to do the SD.card Fix make sure you unmount and remove your sdcard then do the sdFix cus it may wipe your stuff if its inserted... I did n it wiped everything thanks God i knw how to get my stuff bak and were able to do it... So like my mother taught me whom ever hit first..hit twice...
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] RodimusConvoy:
Thanks for the reply. I've actually used 3rd party sites before, once for my Samsung Gravity 2, and again for an LG MyTouch. No problems. You give them your IMEI number and they give you a code to input that permanently unlocks your phone. Thing is, with this phone, they can give you the code, but Tmobile/LG/both have disabled the menu that would allow you to input the code. Its like having a key to a treasure chest but the lock is inaccessible. Hence why now unlock sites are claiming they can do it through the app.

Ah well. Until I find someone who has successfully unlocked the phone, either through that method or another one, I'll have no choice but to assume sites doing it through the app are fake. Its a shame too cause it seems like a great phone and everyone here has done a lot of hard work on it. :crying:

Again, thanks for the reply, and sorry for the interruption.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
Ah that reminded me to check my receipt to see the date I purchased my stylo. I got 15 more days to go till I can unlock it for free with the built in app.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:
Same here. If i can get mine working right again. So uh internal error on my system saying it might be unstable until i do a factory reset.... Which i did and it's still derpy
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
Just use my unbrick guide linked in the first post to flash the v10i kdz, that should fix it.

GPS: replacement worked OK

I got a replacement Stylo today, and the GPS is working fine on the new one. Looks like it was a manufacturing defect rather than a design defect.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
i don't wanna say WE told you so, But WE told you so LoL :p :D .....

mine is been working great and very accurate .
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
Heh... I figured it was best to ask first, just in case. I'd hate to give up on a great phone. That being said, I'm going to leave it stock for the foreseeable future. The LG skin doesn't seem to get in the way, and once in a while Wi-Fi calling is nice to have (particularly when visiting my sister in Michigan).

Fortunately for me, at my normal reading distance, pixelation is not a problem, and it's certainly less than a typical desktop monitor.

The buttons on the back took some getting used to, but I don't mind them now (plus there's the double-tap lock/unlock).
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] bnb25:
I'm coming from the Mega, I got use to having that physical home button. If it wasn't for the knock knock feature on LG, I think I'd go nuts having to fool with a power button.

Anyone else getting really slow data speeds? I can't get over 5mbp. On the Mega 6.3 I was getting 100mbp out doors and 20 to 30mbp indoors.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
i have to agree with you there with the Knock Code feature, every time i use one of my friends phone feels strange not having to use the Knock Feature.

about Data speeds i been getting the same speeds i used to i'm coming from the G2 (Verizon Variant) around where i live i get around 50mb and some other areas 20mb to 65mb same as when i was with my G2.

P.S. i'm not using the Default APN i created another one with IPv4 (Tether Purposes )instead of IPv6 so i have no idea if that makes any different or not.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] bnb25:
Yeah I switched over to the APN i used with the Mega. I'm still getting the same slow speeds.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
It might be a tower or backhaul issue. I ran a speed test earlier and got the attached result - consistent with what I got on the Galaxy Avant.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] bnb25:
I don't see how when I never had slow speeds on the Samsung Galaxy Mega.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] guest_2011:
Stylo is going back. I wear polarized Rx sunglasses. Phone is unusable in landscape, completely dark because of polarized screen with regular or rx polarized lens. Reminded me of 1st gen Moto e. Couldn't see moto screen in landscape or portrait. It never crossed my mind to test in store. L9/L90 screens were perfect. Even Stylo screen is very usable in bright sunlight, but only in portrait. Another problem for me is i need a physical home button. I expected photo/video quality same or better than my gs3. Its worse. I'll stick with samsung.

The stylus worked with GS3 but not tab3 8.0, if anybody is curious.

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

Tested Stylo, Tab3 8.0, GS3 today, GPS Test Plus app, indoors, cloudy sky. There was a minor deviation in compass between the three. Stylo locked on the fastest, same accuracy as GS3. Tested Stylo with Sygic outside. First the map was spinning like crazy for a few minutes, but then GPS stabilized and it was smooth like GS3. I can't explain why it happens. Returning Stylo so no longer an issue for me.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
Problems with polarized lenses are inherent in LCD screens, since they use polarization to control the pixels. AMOLED screens (like the Galaxy S series) generate light directly, so they won't have issues with your glasses. Note that not all Samsungs use AMOLED; most of their lower-priced models have LCD screens.

As for my GPS woes, the replacement worked fine for me, and it also doesn't seem to have compass problems
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] guest_2011:
Not just MY rx glasses. I tested with non-rx polirized lens. Same thing. I'm sure many people will be pissed. I can't go outside without sunglasses. Really wanted to like this phone.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
that's weird about your non-rx polirized lens , i'm like you i can't go outside without using sunglasses unless is turning dark of course but i have no problem at all .
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] guest_2011:
I'm going to test different screens at tmob and verizon tomorrow with polarized lenses. I can't be the only one with this problem. With Stylo its only in landscape.

Just getting caught up on this phone. Everything looks promising, especially with a couple of RCs working on it. Looks to be a device with intriguing qualities. The processor is middling, but should provide excellent battery life. Screen seems OK, not great. Frankly, I thought the phone would cost more, considering the fancy camera and the historical pricing of similar phones.

Good to hear you were able to get a good unit. Out of curiosity, where in the Chicagoland area are you? I grew up in Geneva myself.

Wish it did, but tried that used bridge to fix and still when it decides to fully boot I get an android system popup that says

"there's an internal problem with your device, and it may be unstable until you factory date reset. So I did that...x5 now. and it pops up every time, then if I can get through setup every app crashes the ui...wtf happened to my phone while I slept O.o
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
Weird. Try in like twrp advanced wiping the system data and cache then flashing game theories thing. If that works. Great if not. Wipe them all again and restore. Also if the restore still fails try doing it offline fixed my problems
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
what does unlocking it via that app allow you to do? just use it on another carrier? or what, any other benefits? any chance it will let me get rid of the carrier branding on the lock screen? i doubt it lol

It's to unlock it for use on other gsm carriers.

Well it appears that app was a great find. There are about 30 build.prop tweaks that have my this phone less laggy and more functional. I would definitely suggest everyone try it. You wont be disappointed.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] rickraker:
Ya i have had it for ten minutes and can tell a difference in responsiveness right off the bat. Does the terminal always need to be running or after you type su ls and it runs that script is it safe to close?

One you run the script you can close the emulator. Build.prop is change until you change it. That app plus Viper4android has this phone running great.

Hello,

I wanted to say thanks to all the people involved in the process to root lg g stylo with lp 5.1.1 out of the box. I had issues at the beginning, but I was lucky to have three laptops, 1 windows xp, 2 windows 7.

The problem I was having was that after phone came back from 2nd reboot, it would not push the file and it will get stuck at UNLK:.

All the systems had an updated driver, but only 1 laptop did the job.

i just went ahead and removed that mod because i already get great battery life and i have a road trip coming up...if you can figure it out let me know and maybe ill put it back...otherwise ill just wait and see if anyone else reports different findings

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Krlypumaa:
If you do the sd.fix you should run the app and fix with out the externalsd in cus it will wipe out ir card

Thank you for respecting oir aDEV's... Thats a good one... Now even though you flash radio. It would not fix cus when i said radio.. I ment the .so files... Of it... What it damagevits not the baseband radio but the .so driver files. For it like the blutooth., gps., .nfc., wifi., dlna., agps... Etc... Now it maight ne the kernel or modem so what i recommend its to start from ground... This would make you from now on have a bakup always ... Something u can have on ur pc, laptop, googledrive... All its good...
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Marty_Since87:
Ok, thanks. I'll probably have some time to do everything tomorrow. I just want to make sure I have everything first. I already have all the files downloaded. I'm mainly waiting on my SD card so I can make a back up.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Krlypumaa:
Well if you still on twrp you can back up your data... If you dont want to go tru the installation of your apps againg... Move it into ur googledrive..(it might take long) the then do the whole9yrds then download your bakup. Fro your drive place it in the twrp folder and restore data... Remember what its broken are ur drivers not your apps...
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
it wont wipe nothing from the Card , actually the App needs a SDcard inserted to work if not you wont be able to apply the fix.

To be honest...it does not need the external sd... All yhis app does its to modify the platform.xml in yhe permission folder with a script... Which you can do manually too...
