[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thes_stitch:
Wasn't aware of the other missing features. Since, coverage isn't that significant of a factor for me (coming from Virgin Mobile), I am going to return my phone (and my wife's) and get at least one fully featured G4 through another carrier. And I thought that coverage, cost (plan, access), insurance, promotions, etc were sufficient factors to consider when I made this purchase. Now I have to factor in removal of a phone's features relative to the carrier. No likey.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Add LGs browser and tasks app to that list. Welcome to Verizon, this is normal here
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juice3250:
I am contemplating on getting this phone on verizon in August and waiting for Developers on here to find an exploit and/or a way to unlock the BL or to switch to T-mobile and have them pay off my phone balance and ETF. The problem I'm having is the cost difference. My wife would have to switch to a single line because she would likely stay with verizon. Right now, we share 10gb a month on two lines and we are only paying 160. I have my phone on Edge and so we get $25 off a month plus I receive a discount through my employer. Basically it will cost us more for me to switch to T-Mobile than for me to compromise on this Verizon feature stripped G4. I've even contemplated getting a Z3V or HTC One M9. But I am leaning more towards just settling for the VZW G4.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Proverbs‬ *16‬:*20‬
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Verizon strips every non Nexus Android phone of features. They also don't mess with Iphones because they can't. I was surprised that the Note 4 didn't appear to be missing much, but the S6/G4 more than made up for that with as much as they've stripped. If I had another option for a carrier (especially t-mobile) then I would go elsewhere and not hesitate. I have tried Sprint and AT&T, both have beyond poor coverage in my area (Sprint doesn't even have 4g, they borrow other peoples towers here) so I'm stuck. I am hoping T-mobile finds a way to get some coverage here, but it isn't likely.

Nobody can make a decision for you, but if you have coverage options, consider yourself lucky =p
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juice3250:
Yeah I live in south eastern michigan around Ann Arbor. Kevin the tech ninja who reviews tech on YouTube now actually lives in SE michigan as well. I've talked with him a little bit and he switched to T-mobile and is pretty happy with it.

But I am thinking I could do without the extra features for a while. Then when the boot loader is unlocked, the likelihood is high, then slowly I'll be able to get some of those features back or some added ones that can replace them. I have been looking to buy a phone that I wouldn't have to root and flash roms on. But my thinking is software is updatable and can be changed. Hardware can't be changed. At least not yet.

Proverbs‬ *16‬:*20‬
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phurkus:
oh okay i get you. i thought you ment you were missing verizon features.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juice3250:
Does anyone know of a way to buy an unlocked version of the G4 and activate it on verizon? All while only paying month to month and not paying for the whole phone up front?

Proverbs‬ *16‬:*20‬
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juice3250:
What is the likelihood of a rom in the future being able to bring back the missing features of the Verizon rom? I really want to upgrade to this phone on verizon. If not, do you think the Nexus 6 is worth getting, even if it is only 32gb. I can edge up early in August. But if I want to keep my phone till its paid off, I have to wait till April. Then I can buy or do anything I want. I can sell my phone and buy an unlocked off contract phone like a Nexus or 1+1 or 2 and use it on any carrier I want.

But man, the G4 and the good possibility of getting root and a rom to replace the missing features on the verizon variant are keep enticing me and making me change my mind multiple times.

Proverbs‬ *16‬:*20‬
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomyk89:
I'm not a big fan of all the extra crap anyway, whether it's from LG or verizon. I like LG's UI (except for their hideous folder icons) and that's why I kept with LG. If I wanted a bunch of crappy baked-in features I would've bought a samsung
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juice3250:
Do you have the Verizon G4? If so, do you miss the theming that was removed?

Proverbs‬ *16‬:*20‬
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomyk89:
I do have the Verizon G4 (vs986). My last phone was the G2 (vs980) and I never used the theming. I almost exclusively used the Google Now Launcher as I prefer the stock android experience. I do like the mods that LG has done with the notification bar, so I don't mind that. My only gripe with using the Google Now Launcher is that you cannot double tap on the home screen to lock. You can however double tap on the notification bar while in the GNL but it is sometimes harder to hit than a blank spot on the desktop.

Any "theming" that was done was done with root and Xposed. Once we have root on this device I will be happy!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juice3250:
Cool, thanks for the feedback. I am seriously considering getting it. Hopefully there will come a day when a third party launcher like nova will incorporate double tap. At least on phones that are capable.

3Mint

3Minit? Is there any way to remove this? I'm not a big fan of the mod
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Electronical Updates:
If you would like. I could remove it and send you a link to download it?

You would still have to flash again to remove it.

Ill do another right now without any tweaks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] MysticRain:
I would love that as a matter of fact, loving the ROM btw, so much smoother and the battery is magnificent. Also can definitely see the improved camera quality and honestly, one of the best TouchWiz based roms I've flashed on any Samsung. Also I wouldnt mind testing out your attempts to get the Alliance framework into this. Definitely preferred over the 3Minit mod. Another issue is when I choose to edit the java code to mess with the clock the settings force close and i cant get back into it without a fresh flash so beware
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Joshwaaa:
Does this trip the KNOX fuse?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Electronical Updates:
I am not really sure. But is working for me so far. It does not have knox so i do not think so.

I am going to try to work on one that is smoother and more stable. Ill try to make it a lag free phone. :) Thanks for anyone who supports me..

The hotspot does not work on this one for now. I will work on it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Acoustichayes:
The fact that there is no response to say if this is the same as Sac's worries me. And on that I will be switching to Sac's rom and just flashing the kernel separately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bolodsk16:
How?

how do u flash this rom on the s6 edge i have twrp recovery

Now to look for a QI charger... lol
[G4 Accessories] Withoutab:
I just ordered a qi sticker on ebay for us $8.80 incl shipping (I unfortunately cant post links yet)

I'll report here once it arrives
[G4 Accessories] Eric618:
Do we know if AT&T is using Qi?
[G4 Accessories] Withoutab:
They are according to this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/38wo2v/atts_lg_g4_does_indeed_work_with_the_qi_version/
[G4 Accessories] audiowikid:
Hmm interesting, so i have the ATT h810 model and i took a look at the back and it appears that it has both pins Qi and PMA. I am taking a look at the site AliExpress that everyone is looking at for the stickers but i dunno. The description says its compatible with my model but the pictures show the pins for Qi, i already have PMA mats soooo yeah thats a problem. As for people asking about cases vs. the sticker, i prefer the sticker since its cheaper and easy to transfer. All you need is a blow dryer which will then help remove the original sticker and replace with the one with wireless. I did this with my G3 :D
[G4 Accessories] compwrench:
T mobile grey plastic back

My cover has the contacts that are nearer to the top on the left side looking at the back with cover removed. the Qi sticker has contacts there that would cover the existing ones on the cover. I'm guessing they are for NFC. Will QI sticker disable NFC?
[G4 Accessories] Withoutab:
Yes they are, the qi sticker has a NFC chip in it as well, and therefore it will not disable NFC
[G4 Accessories] GinFab:
nope

Found a very quick video (unboxing) on the afore-linked Yootech quick circle case and wireless charging pad:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6cHNVPIgkc
[G4 Accessories] player911:
I don't want a circle case. I have one of the Qi Stickers installed but I want an OFFICIAL backplate.

Sucks. This is exactly why I hate buying phone with Qi not installed out of the box.
[G4 Accessories] caseyatbt:
Will this one work?

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...R-LID-CASE-COVER-QI-Wireless/32375178456.html
[G4 Accessories] Eric618:
I'll also confirm that qi definitely works on the 810 variant. My sticker and charging pad were delivered yesterday. It charges slllooowww, but it works. I got about 70% in six hours on the pad. I'm chalking that up to the cheapie Chinese pad. Now that I verified that it actually works though, I'll buy a good charging pad.
[G4 Accessories] woozzy101:
Wireless charging is taking me between 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours to charge depending on how low my battery gets (sub 15%). Using a 3-coil charger.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA7HNZO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

How is everyone else doing on charge times? :D
[G4 Accessories] *justintime*:
Doing the same... With a one coil charger... [emoji3]

Cost me three dollars.
[G4 Accessories] BDestroyer8418:
Haven't gone over 3.5 hours yet with the 3 Coil I have. And that's from around 5% Battery each time.
[G4 Accessories] bloodomen2:
any qi chip that fits the leather back cover?

and will it charge with SGP hybrid cases ?
[G4 Accessories] daddymikey1975:
I cut the flap off my Yootech over the weekend. When an "official looking" back cover becomes available, I'll spring for it but this one is serving it's purpose for now.
[G4 Accessories] arsi123:
Could we remove the wireless charging chip/sticker from the official quick circle case and install it onto the original back cover of the phone? Possible?
[G4 Accessories] daddymikey1975:
Yes.
[G4 Accessories] arsi123:
Any ideas how to go about doing this?
[G4 Accessories] daddymikey1975:
I haven't seen a write up yet with instructions, but I've read in here that there are folks that have done it. If you're only going to get the circle case for the qi, why not just get the sticker? It would be less expensive.
[G4 Accessories] arsi123:
Quality and reliability issues with 3rd party ones - a lot of complaints. I would believe the OEM one on the quick circle case would be reliable.
[G4 Accessories] daddymikey1975:
You could get the Yootech one and cut the flap off. This is what I did for now and mine seems to work great. (haven't tried NFC as I don't use it).
[G4 Accessories] arsi123:
Looking to install the receiver onto the leather back, so that wouldn't work. Might just try and strip the one off the quick circle case then (already have it!)

Thanks for your responses though by the way!
[G4 Accessories] levy01:
could you post a couple pics with the aftermath?

I have the same circle case but I'm starting to hate the flap flapping all the time

hehe

thx !
[G4 Accessories] arsi123:
Success! Managed to extract the wireless receiver from the quick circle case and install it onto the leather back. Took a lot of work, but managed to get it working in the end! :D
[G4 Accessories] daddymikey1975:
Posted pics for ya.
[G4 Accessories] levy01:
cool, thx !

looks good, that might be my weekend project !
[G4 Accessories] daddymikey1975:
If it takes more than ten minutes you've had too much beer lol. Use a sharp razor and score it in the groove where the flap and plastic "cover" meet. Super simple and easy.
[G4 Accessories] james491225:
will a charging back cover too heavy for phone?
[G4 Accessories] daddymikey1975:
The Yootech one is very light and minimalistic. I posted pics above with the flap cut off.
[G4 Accessories] yyy999deba:
Anyone can post some images here for the QI Wireless Charger?
[G4 Accessories] sigma24:
There are so many on Amazon too. I recommend you to buy one with quick circle view.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setul34:
Hello,

So i am in BIG trouble right now.

i just flash my lg g3 D852 to stock firmware using LG Flash Tool. and after i setup my phone i reconnect my device to pc but i forgot to close that tool. and suddenly it start processing and then i remove my device.

so now basically my Os is gone, i can't go in download mode, i can't go in recoverymod either. and also phone is not connecting to pc .

any idea how can i fix that. PLEASE i need a solution ASAP.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os_man:
You should wait the process to finish, unplugging usb cable is the cause. Now please tell me what you see in your device manager under ports tab, or as an unknown device when you connent your G3 to PC again ?

Use these drivers to identfy your new port then we will continue from there.

http://www.androidbrick.com/download/qdloader-hs-usb-driver/
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setul34:
Thankyou for your reply!.

okay so its stuck at boot looping. and even after installing those drivers you gave me. its not recognizing my device. and nothing shows up in device manager. not even a UNKNOWN DEVICE.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setul34:
There is few things going on.

i already installed the drivers you gave me. after that.

1) when i connect g3(with battery) to pc with usb cable - it shows me nothing. and its keep restarting the phone.

2) when i connect g3 (without battery) to pc with usb cable - it shows me this

and also last thing. i dont even need to press power button when i connect g3(with battery) to my pc. it just turns on automatically and start restarting again and again.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os_man:
I asked wrong question in first place, i always assume "dead" brick phones when i hear "no download mode, no recovery", so your phone powers up but in a boot loop, all your boot partitions are lost, corrupt, including bootloader and laf parititons ( recovery and download mode ). There is a fix for that too, now second question, can you open your G3 ? I mean tear down to mainboard ? Becouse if you can do and shortpin two tiny spots, then we will have our necessary Qualcomm port to go on and start the rescue mission.

A little reading might help too, the schema of these two magic spots is in this article , please take a look.

http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick-recover-your-dead-lg-g3-g2-all-variants/
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setul34:
yes i read that post. but i dont think i can do that. if there is no other way to do it then i might have to tear down main board.

do i have to separate screen and everything ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os_man:
NO no ! Just a couple of screws, just hold up the back plastic part thats all, youll see the mainboard there. Sorry my mistake, not tear down completely.

After if you can manage to shortpin we will use LG's own BoardDiag to restore boot partitions, and your phone will be ok.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setul34:
okay got it. i dont have to hold shortpin all the time right ?? just until i saw that port in device manager.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os_man:
Exactly, just shortpin a few seconds then plug usb cable (while shortpin), port will open.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setul34:
okayy and then follow the procedure that is avaliable here --> http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick-recover-your-dead-lg-g3-all-variants/ ??

or with the boarddiag ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os_man:
yes first this link : http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091, its a very good way to test the emmc too. If everything goes well boot partitions will be fixed, if emmc passes the test but still no fix then we will try my fix, but boarddiag mostly handels these situations itself.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setul34:
Do i need to insert battery at any point ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os_man:
No you dont, you can do all procedure without the battery.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setul34:
i got that port now
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os_man:

OS_MAN thank you so far

dude i know that you helped me a lot on g-mail

but had you tried yourself , it didn't work for me , and a capacitor i think flew away of the board :( but the phone works as it should when plugging it in the PC

what to do now

i wanna smash my phone that i enjoyed 4 days before everything went black thanks to my great mind of mine :crying:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os_man:
Of course i did tried myself, still fixing many G3's this way. I never say or write things without experience (without trying it myself before). I know this is a dangerous method, but its an upsolute fix what can we do ? I wished that LG did chosen Qualcomm port for repairing, but no, to gain more money from their customers in its own service centers ( mostly charging for motherboard change ) LG choose to hide that port, so here we are, hacking it internaly..

Im sad to hear your accident, no mobile repair shops in your town ? Its not that hard to fix it indeed..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evilix:
thanks again very much for replying that fast , means to me a lot by the way as i feel i'm in a crisis :D

but everything works fine even after the dislocation of the capacitor , except the damn usb error that i get when i connect the phone without the battery , will try to short the pins for 3 mins cuz i only shorted them for 3 seconds (LOL)

i will try again and tell you if this capacitor ruined something or not

and yes i will try to go to an expert to put it back

thanks again hope i fix it so my mum can be proud :D (lol)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os_man:
3 minutes ? No need, you make it more dangerous that way ! Its called shortpin, youll burn everything in 3 minutes be aware ! 3 seconds are more then enough, just make sure you hit the right spots, with an ergonomic tool. Many use tweezers for this operation, but i use bread bag wire :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evilix:
i will try again and i will tell you the results
