[G4 General] AegisValour:
Not sure if anyone else here agrees with me, but doesn't a lot of these issues that have been appearing recently seem to be mostly coming from US variants?

My reasoning is that that phone was already released but we didn't hear a lot about issues until the US release. This might also be that more US people browse here and therefore come and vocalize about their issues. So I'm hoping it's mostly an issue with the US variants.
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
I actually ordered mine on eBay. They are from Korea, so they come embossed with "band LTE" carrier logo, but you can hardly see it. Outside that, only Verizon has the brown.

There are also issues with people in the USA who bought the H815 UK unlocked model, so I don't think it's only the US models. You are correct though, it does appear to be mostly the USA models.

Hopefully the fact that we get ours released later means hopefully we get a later software version with less bugs. :)
[G4 General] rgs2:
Anyone know yet whether Koodo will be carrying it?
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
Not that I know of. Rogers, Bell, Telus, Wind and Videotron only, AFAIK.
[G4 General] Miketoberfest:
If I was a betting man, and I am, I'd go ahead and make a bet on us Canadians receiving the extra battery/cradle/SD. Enjoy!
[G4 General] thegregulator:
I'll take that bet. I don't think there are enough potential buyers in Canada for LG to bother with that. But, I hope I'm wrong!
[G4 General] Miketoberfest:
Well all betting aside, they have the accessory packs at t-booth that are apparently included. That much I do know.
[G4 General] AegisValour:
Really? You asked them and they told you that? Honestly, I wouldn't expect us to get the same promotion. But if I had to choose I'd rather they just give us the spare battery and charger.
[G4 General] xTristinx:
am I THE ONLY GUY GOING FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR WHAT!!!! Cant wait!
[G4 General] Miketoberfest:
Yes really. Whether or not this is available at any/all carriers I do not know. I do know that the t-booth location in the city in which I live, has an accessory pack with all 3 items, in store. No contacting LG with proof of purchase etc... I wouldn't have expected this either.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Really? we have the pins for it.
[G4 General] GetPatriotized:
Will do.

That's what I thought, it hasn't arrived yet, will try.
[G4 General] Negan:
So I broke down and got myself a G4 and am very impressed with this thing thus far. My first priority is to figure out how their mini themes work and find the limitations to what we can and can't do and start making some cause I can honestly say the one's on their store are by far the worst amateur crap I've ever seen!!! I figure that I can do a few of these to tide me over until we get root and recovery where i can make a full theme (hopefully this happens soon!)
[G4 General] sharky2010:
So how's everyone liking their phones? I love mine but I didn't get the sd card and battery promo :(
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
I am liking mine thus far, very few issues, and the camera is stellar. No battery or SD card here either. I am with Telus.
[G4 General] spartan268:
I would love to see this happen. All the themes are found in there were garbage. Sucks how there was no built in themes like Sense. But that's minor stuff anyways.

:good::good: Finally found two wake locks. Now this phone is a tank. Easily lasts me the whole day with 27% battery before bed. All that matters to me really is that I make it to bed without charging.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Great phone so far. Any idea when we get root? Gotta think if the touch screen sensitivity issue is a software problem, being able to root and unlock bootloader to install a custom ROM will solve it.
[G4 General] mickliq:
I'd like to hear from 815 owners on Canadian networks. How is LTE reception compared to other devices, and battery performance? My 815 is incoming early next week...I've already stickied the BL unlock / TWRP / Root page and I'm sure it will be the first thing I do! What's the latest on Xposed - I see there is a new Alpha 4 version, any luck with that?
[G4 General] karendar:
I heard from Android Colliseum saying that it'd be PMA only, but I've also read threads saying both QI and PMA would be supported on the AT&T model our phone is based on... I took a 10$ chance to see if it worked or not. :P

I'm already set up for PMA on my LG G3, so either way it doesn't really matter to me... Quick Charge 2.0 sort of kills QI charging anyway.

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

What wakelocks? Care to share your experience?
[G4 General] GetPatriotized:
Same here I took the chance. Anyway I have a skin on my plastic back and leather, they both don't fit in my case. I'll just stick the new chip in my case so I can get my NFC back at least. I never have a back when using a case.
[G4 General] karendar:
Can you keep me posted if your QI sticker works once you get it? In the meantime, I'll keep an eye out for PMA stickers...

Thanks!
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Using my Bell Mobility G4 (unlocked) in Italy on TIM and getting good reception on data (usually hspa, but sometimes lte).

Just in case anyone is looking to use a sim card while travelling.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
I had qi working on mine. I slightly ****ed up the placement and the bit that raised the qi pins went into space. So now it's back to nfc only. I can confirm H812 has qi support.
[G4 General] AegisValour:
I shot LG and email in regards to the touchscreen issues. I also asked if it was software or hardware but they really didn't respond and only instructed me to send my phone back in for repair.

Anyone here have experience with that?
[G4 General] spartan268:
One of them was from BBM. Even after closing the app it continues to stay awake for quite some time. Not something that will noticeably drain me out, but it is something.

The other was from snapchat due to their garbage programming. Their new update fixed it up though. But in the time I had it deleted, the battery had a lot more breathing more space. Naturally it's a drain since the camera module is always on in the background even if you're just viewing. And with all the background data being used in the background from the garbage they call discovery.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Have you tried to do a factory reset? I did and it seemed to help. Still not completely sure though.
[G4 General] tveith:
I was having touch screen problems with my LG G4. I traded it for another unit. The new g4 was working fine for a week but is now also having problems with missed taps. I really wish LG would own up to this problem and let us know if this is Software or hardware related. I only have 3 days left if I want to trade it for an S6.
[G4 General] maddog497:
Apparently they know. They just need to fix it now.

www.androidpolice.com/2015/06/16/ha...our-lg-g4-lg-knows-and-theyre-looking-into-it
[G4 General] tveith:
Yes I've read that article and many like it. Lg released some lame keyboard patch but it only addressed issues with the LG keyboard. They've been silent ever since.
[G4 General] maddog497:
Either I'm one of the fortunate ones or I just don't notice it, lol. Either way I'm good waiting on 5.1. Hopefully it brings better battery life (not that I find it terrible) and those little fixes with it.

Mine is sitting on my desk while I play with the Huawei Mate 7.
[G4 General] tveith:
Do you mean 5.1.1? My g4 is already on 5.1 and it makes no difference. I think this will only be resolved with root / custom rom, unless there is a hardware issue, which would really suck.
[G4 General] maddog497:
I was thinking 5.1. Guess I haven't looked to closely at mine, lol.
[G4 General] AegisValour:
Multiple times. Wish they would just state if it's a software of hardware though they might not want to since it would cause bunch of people sending in repairs.

LG Canada just told me it had to be sent into be repaired.
[G4 General] karendar:
Someone posted a touchscreen fix today which seems to help out for me:

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/touch-screen-fix-t3162064#post61968077

Go check it out! Simple software config that could save you guys a lot of trouble :)
[G4 General] tveith:
Thanks, but not making any difference. Still missing taps and delays / lag.
[G4 General] gwertheim:
Now that you guys have had some real time with the phone, do you still think it was worth getting over something like the S6?
[G4 General] tveith:
if not for the touch screen issues, absolutely. Unfortunately, missed taps makes writing on the G4 a nightmare.
[G4 General] Ramsey:
I saw that also. I'm wondering if it fixed the issue for others? most are saying yes but some are saying no. =/
[G4 General] tveith:
One thing I've noticed is that the missed key presses appear to be worse while using SwiftKey rather than the Google keyboard or LG keyboard.
[G4 General] spartan268:
You cereals? For me I found it to be the opposite. I'll have to go back to stock for a bit and test
[G4 General] tveith:
Yah, I've been using swiftkey forever, with last 4 phones. Suddenly, with the g4, lots of missed taps. Tried 4 other keyboards, fastest, most accurate so far is touchpal. Been using it all afternoon without any key misses. Seems to be a big improvement for me.
[G4 General] Shike Marples:
Did not fix for me :(
[G4 General] Ramsey:
I've been using TouchPal since the days of the Galaxy S1 hehe, my favorite keyboard. I end up returning to it when I try another keyboard for fun.

So, now that you're using it and you have less missed taps, are you getting missed taps anywhere else in the UI? or only in keyboard use?
[G4 General] tveith:
Mainly my problem has been with typing / input. I really haven't had any issues with scrolling, etc.
[G4 General] Robinottawa:
Purchased H812 July 23 from rogers

Hi all, I've been reading and decided to register and post a data point.

arrived July 23 from Rogers

model h812

software 81210c and 5.1

installed Nova launcher

contents include

grey plastic, black leather back covers with Qi

extra battery, charger, 32 GB sd

overall impressions

build light plastic (coming from 1520) but solid

screen plasticky feel (yes, the screen protector is off :)

response very occasional lag/delay

VERY loud speakers

LTE 12 down and 9.5 up

problems

no screen problems (not tested by an app tho)
[G4 General] force70:
Thats odd your LTE speeds are so bad.

Or is that normal for where your located?

Sent from my Nexus 6 or Note 4
[G4 General] Robinottawa:
'fraid I don't know what's normal. I've never tracked it. I thought maybe the numbers would be informative so I did a quick test. Rogers has VoLTE. Am I getting the shaft?:p
[G4 General] Usraek:
This is mine on Rogers. I've seen my partner get like 50 down and higher up at home.

(on a side note I found a hidden screen capture settings menu to remove the statusbar/navigation buttons and a less useful one-handed settings menu apparently removed from the G3 using the shortcut trick to get Access Ops -- also man the screencap is massive.)
[G4 General] force70:
Big time.

I get average down speeds of around 100 and uploads around 30.

On my nexus and note 4 but the device makes no diff it was the same on my note 3 or s4 etc

Sent from my Nexus 6 or Note 4
[G4 General] Robinottawa:
So not the G4. Have you discussed with Rogers to ensure those speeds? Seems it should be by default? What could cause it. Maybe I'll try it in some different places.
[G4 General] force70:
The g4 should be just as fast if not faster, my G2 could hit those speeds years ago.

Even with 1 bar ill still hit more than 20 down

Sent from my Nexus 6 or Note 4
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
I have only tested mine once on Rogers. I pulled 50 down and 22 up. That was during peak times, I could probably pull faster off peak.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Anyone tried any of the root methods yet? The developers were saying a dump file would be nice if someone could do that. Not really sure where to start.

Would love to hear some feedback.
[G4 General] Usraek:
Haven't seen anything in particular pertaining to our model yet, so we're going to just need to sit tight and be patient. I also have not seen any dump requests for our variant either, so it's really just a matter of waiting. We're a fairly small minority here, so it's not unexpected.
[G4 General] karendar:
I'm currently doing an extract of the system.img of the Telus H812 variant. Either they get it from us and root it or I'll do it myself. Depends how motivated I am.

**edit** Their rooting technique is nothing groundbreaking in what it actually does after the Send_command feature kicks in. It's just writing a pre-rooted system image. Considering I've built ROMs before, as long as I know the exact partition location on the H812, I'll be able to flash/root this sucker.
[G4 General] karendar:
Hola my fine Canadian friends:

Telus firmware Root has been acquired. Next steps: Bell, Rogers and Wind.

Will take some time, but we'll get there. :)
[G4 General] Negan:
Once we have this (I've been struggling to root my own image sadly) and twrp which I wonder if it will work for us given that tmo has it and from what I've read they didn't crack or touch their BL, I'm gonna fire up some ROMs and themes for us all!
[G4 General] karendar:
T-Mobile got lucky and is able to unlock their bootloader... But they're the only ones other than international, sadly.

Here you go for Telus and Bell, guys. Root away!

TELUS V10B

BELL V10C

[HIDE]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347782359[/HIDE]
[G4 General] Negan:
But is it actually unlocked? In the thread it only mentions them enabling OEM unlock in developer options and then flashing twrp via flashify. I'm trying to wrap my head around that one. If that's the case then why can't we do the same I wonder
[G4 General] karendar:
The OEM Unlock option in Dev options is supposed to be broken for all phones except the international H815 model... From what I've been reading, TMO actually got lucky and their phone truly is unlocked with this option. I can't say to what extent this phone differs from others. I'd have to read up on TMO posts to understand more...

---------- Post added at 02:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

Root status for Canadian LG G4:

Telus: RELEASED

Bell: RELEASED

If anyone has the following system.img dumps:

H812 Rogers

H812 Videotron

H812 Wind

H812 - Any other Canadian variant

Please PM me with a download link.
[G4 General] Negan:
Yeah I read the entire thread and there's nothing in there of any use indicating why theirs is unlocked or what not. So I'm going to assume that someone just took a blind leap of faith and tried it. It is possible ours is unlocked too but whether someone wants to be a guinea pig and find out is a whole different story.

btw check your pm please
[G4 General] karendar:
I already tried: Ours is not rooted. :)
[G4 General] Negan:
You tried to flash twrp? What happened?
[G4 General] Azure1203:
How much of a difference will the different Canadian variants have? I'm on MTS, and I'd imagine my phone is practically identical to the Rogers one.
[G4 General] Negan:
most likely just bloat since these images don't contain any modems. But as experienced as i am with tinkering etc, I can honestly say I know jack squat about how these LG buggers operate. They seem to be picky little things
[G4 General] Usraek:
There was a different thread yesterday where someone pointed out the Telus OEM Unlock in the thread title, we then verified that we couldn't access the bootloader.

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/oem-unlock-canadian-telus-lg-g4-h812-t3165304
[G4 General] Negan:
Where was that? I'd like to read up on it. I'll try flashing it once I finish my painfully bell root DL and see why happens. Hopefully it doesn't break my phone. But tbh I haven't evem used this phone for two weeks. Not having root sucks and I've just been using my other phones
[G4 General] Usraek:
Sorry, I ninja'd the link into my last post I guess as you were quoting.

[G4 General] Negan:
I can confirm that this bell v10c results in a bootloop so for all who do this ensure you have a copy of the original system.img on your internal storage to easily recover. Instructions are in the op of the main root thread on how to do a system dump
[G4 General] karendar:
Deleted the rom... Will upload the stock rom and reattempt the root.
[G4 General] minirx7:
Hi Karendar,

Thank you for your efforts on this. Unfortuntaely i DD'd the bell V10c and boot looped my phone. I can get into the download screen, but i have a couple of questions:

1. Since i cannot boot into the phone, will i still be able to load the IMG file (ie via download mode and ADB?)

2. Do you know where i can get the bell system.img file as i did not back this file up before doing the DD.

Thanks!
[G4 General] htc fan89:
wow, can't believe g4 are still sold out in stores in ottawa. well, telus stores and koodo aren't even carrying it.

[G4 General] qwerty123321:
Can anyone confirm if root is working on g4 from wind mobile ? I'm looking to upgrade from oneplus one now that oneplus 2 pricin is reveled to be only 20$ cheaper than g4

Thanks. I downloaded it, and accept that i now have a G4 that is a paperweight :)..

Patiently waiting for a solution - i dont htink there is a KDZ available yet for the H812.
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Anyone have a list of what we can freeze through Titanium on these phones? I looked at the debloater thread, but it is fairly UScentric.
[G4 General] Negan:
Insurance?
[G4 General] Negan:
If you don't know what's safe to freeze or uninstall I'd say don't touch anything besides the ota app
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Absolutely, however, it seems like a lot of this stuff is carrier dependent or renamed. I am pretty confident in what I can freeze, but I also like input from others. That's the whole point of a community, to provide support. Canada just doesn't get a lot of love in the debloat thread, and figured I would check here. I'll check other sources though, appreciate the response.
[G4 General] Negan:
Well I don't have root yet which is why I didn't recommend anything and historically when people ask what is safe to freeze 9 times out of 10 bad things happen. And don't worry about us not getting love. If we can get twrp we will get lots of love. I will personally bring some themes, ROMs and cm based ROMs for us as well as some of my other cool secret tricks
[G4 General] bitbitbit:
Has the Rogers rooted image been made available yet? I saw someone mentioning in the main root thread that the stock image has been uploaded. Can't wait to get my phone rooted :D

When every US carrier version has a subforum, I think we should at least get one for Canadian carriers combined :p
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
That's cool, making themes, ROMs , ect is far beyond my abilities. I do agree regarding the averages., since more often than not, people do not read OP, or directions. I am pretty happy root worked for me with no issues, since others obviously have had issues. I won't freeze stuff unless I am confident it will not cause chaos, got enough of that already.

Some of this is pretty new to me, I have not used a non nexus phone since before the NS. I guess the bootloader is the next big challenge...

Telus = DONE, tested

Bell = DONE, testing now

Rogers = NEXT

Videotron = NEXT NEXT

Wind = Waiting for proper image (Was sent one that was too big, couldn't mount it)
[G4 General] spartan268:
Wacky idea. But I'm sure you've all heard of that MMS text that can completely hack our phones (Android in general). Maybe that can be used to completely root the phone and unlock the BL ! (Just a dum thought)
[G4 General] gwertheim:
Figured I'd ask so we can get what's needed since I didn't see our variant on the KDZ spreadsheet

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

Since the oneplus two doesn't have NFC for some stupid reason and the phone is warming up to 100 f+ under medium load, I am very interested in getting this phone
[G4 General] bitbitbit:
I am not a developer so I could be wrong, but I think it's only good for getting root. And we have root already so the exploit is not gonna make unlocking BL any easier. But either way, the details of the exploit is not shared to the public yet (to give manufacturers time to get it fixed first) so there is no way this can be used for now.
[G4 General] Negan:
Good stuff man! Once its ready I'll give it a quick how you doing and let ya know. Let's hope my new fibe internet is quicker than last night. If ROMs turn out to be this big I'm gonna torrent them! Actually since I have rc/rt on here xda will torrent for me. Might be an option we can use for our fellow 812's as long as we aren't greedy and seed for each other?
[G4 General] munsifb:
Any chance of rooting the mts variant?
[G4 General] Usraek:
It doesn't look like there are any KDZ available for us Canadians regardless of carrier.

Before attempting root with this method be sure to take dump/backup of your system image and leave it on your phone in case you need to reflash/recover due to a bootloop or error.
[G4 General] karendar:
Telus and Bell rooted images are up and tested as WORKING for both:

If you back up your system.img first then flash, you can always restore the system.img... No need to wait. ;)
[G4 General] athris:
Just to confirm everything i understand so far

i know i can download a unroot img.

Arrording from [MENTION=2826966]karendar[/MENTION]

this command is use to copy the system ing to root directory

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/data/media/0/system.img

to root (Assume)

dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.bell.10c.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

i wonder what is bs,seek and count stand for? and is this correct?

The method is quite safe and very easy to do. Just do not forget to keep a copy if your stock image or you're screwed
