mines still not loading webpages, although it had a brief return just before lunch. :( maybe I'll leave it till tomorrow.

Do T-mobile have some kind of status pages as per BT/ISPs, to see if there are any current issues ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marisa4755:
Not that I've ever found. If you phone CS then they usually tell you that there are no known issues, then it comes out later that there were, so that's a bit useless.

I'm still having problems. Using WLM with delivery of mail as received, and that is constantly 'reconnecting' then once in a while it reconnects ok and a few emails get through, but it's not 'right' yet.

As you say, best not to do anything hasty, give it a while longer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mattyduk:
worked occasionally last night and tried it first thing this morning.

However, just tried it now and it's down again. :(

Maybe I'll ring CS anyway and see if anythings happening.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mattyduk:
Hmmm, something odd going on with my tytn then.

I thought I'd check the connections section, and went to Proxy server settings. It was ticked, pointing to 149.254.201.32.

As soon as I unticked this and went back to IE, I suddenly had connection again ! However if I go back to connections, it's still ticked !!!?

Any guesses ?

I've recently installed Slingplayer mobile, and I wonder if that is upsetting things ?

* edit * well the IP address is of course t-mobile, but it seems that going in and unticking this resets the connection (even though when you go back to it, the tick is back on). I think it's a sling player issue, as I ran it, and as soon as I tried to reconnect back to GPRS, I couldn't. Then went back in and reset the proxy, and now it's fine. Odd !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mattyduk:
hmm, not slingbox then, as when I soft reset the phone it does the same thing, can't connect to the internet via PIE,Opera, Activesync, Newsbreak etc.

Went back into connections and took the proxy off, and then it starts working again.

Have other tmobile users got this proxy address in their connection settings ?

*edit* ok, now found a cab that cleared the tmobile proxy settings/tick and now it's all working fine. Cheers for listening

Hi all,

I have a couple of micro usb car chargers and when I was using a Navigator app whilst driving somewhere my battery just died despite the charger being plugged in and showing as charging?

I bought another charger off ebay which is a usb car socket with a genuine Samsung micro usb cable. It shows as 1A output and I plugged my phone in to charge at 1% with google maps running, half an hour later it had only gone up to 2%?

What I did previously was plug the 3 pin mains charger into a 240V inverter plugged into the cigaretter lighter socket and that actually charged the phone. Any ideas why the car chargers won't charge it, does anyone know of a car charger that actually will charge the S5?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] wernus24:
buy yourself 4.8A dual usb car charger (2.4A per port).
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ricarp:
If your battery goes above the 42°C the Kernell stops charging; the consumption of the phone can be up to 700mAh, so with 1A the charge must increase in about 5% in half an hour. with a 2A charger the kernell will accept another 800mAh as much, so you can fully charge your phone in more than three hours, (whe in a fully use) but always with abattery temperature lower than 42°C
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] aurfawce:
I personally use the Anker Qualcomm 2.0 car charger, no problems, I like how fast it charges even if I am heavily using it (unlike other chargers I have owned)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] martyp78:
Excellent,thanks both. I got hold of a 2.1a charger which seems to be doing the job well at the moment. Interesting thing about the battery as I have felt it get very warm at times, not always when charging though.

It's powerfull enough to charge a S5 and a S5 mini for example.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] adrscu:
I have a genuine at&t 2.1 AMP car charger for my SGS5 and I never had any problems with it. It also has an extra USB port so you can charge two devices at a time (the 2 amps split to 1 amp for each device).
[G4 General] tgfols:
Hi, the G4 root was made available today and without asking for ETAs (I know ya'll hate that), I'm curious as to how many ROMs and Kernels you think will be made available for it over time? Do you think that there will be as many available as there were for the G3? I do understand that these things take time and a lot of hard work, and I'll be patient, but I'm still super excited to get mine on stock lollipop and improve the battery life (maybe?).
[G4 General] Rydah:
I'm sure enough will be out soon. Wait a day or three.

[G4 General] Jonnyn93:
I had almost given up hope on my G4, but now. I see the light at the end of that glorious 16MP OIS camera which I have grown to love, roll on the roms and amazing dev support we all saw for the G3.
[G4 General] frankymix:
I just want to know what apps or widgets can I remove from the T-Mobile g4 that will help the phone have a better battery life or have better performance
[G4 General] tgfols:
Gonna be worth the wait!
[G4 General] grneyez:
You cant install roms without a custom recovery, and in order to get cutom recovery you need the bootloader unlocked. Only model currently able to unlock the bootloader is the EU model.
[G4 General] Steve125:
You can unlock the T-Mobile version by checking enable oem unlock under developer options. Once rooted you can use flashify to flash twrp. Its under original android development under the tmobile g4 forums if any other t mobile users need it. I've already used it to create a backup and it's working fine.
[G4 General] Ferindel:
Or 15.

But yeah, patience is golden.
[G4 General] AhsanU:
Pretty much this.

Root simply means we have access to system files to manage them according to our own liking.

In order to flash ROM's, your bootloader needs to be unlocked. The reason why root was so easily available on the H815 EUR model is because the bootloader was unlockable officially through LG, which meant simply flashing a custom recovery, in this case TWRP, then flashing SuperSU.zip gives you full root access. H815 EUR users have had it good for a while now, I sure envy them! But once a method to unlock the bootloader becomes available, we'll be able to flash custom ROM's and the whole lot. As with anything else - it's just a matter of time.
[G4 General] crdnl.:
Just going to hop in here to state that I'll be working to bring AICP to the G4 ASAP.
[G4 General] truckerdewd:
Been there, done that today. Got TWRP installed and got rid of the extra crap Tmobile put on here.
[G4 General] player911:
I would just be happy with a debloated stock rom with some added options such as center clock and to clean up the status bar icon clutter (alarm, NFC, 2 data icons, battery mod.
[G4 General] Steve125:
I can't wait! Aicp was my daily driver on my g2 and n7.
[G4 General] AhsanU:
I honestly do not know why OEM's don't let us do that already. It's so utterly bizarre. In this day and age, we really shouldn't have to go to such extents for slightly more convenient/better looking icons in the status bar.

At least Sony lets its users customise the status bar a bit. My Xperia Z3+ lets me customise what icons are shown, but won't let me move the clock or change the battery icon.

The G4 will be a speed demon if it gets CM12.1 My only worry being the camera and if it'll still produce amazing shots. I know that the physical camera itself with its f1.8 aperture lens is the reason why low light shots are amazing, but I wonder how much of it is down to the software's post processing. Time will tell, I hope.
[G4 General] tgfols:
Sweet! My nexus 7 and M7 are running it at the moment
[G4 General] thenewbigmack:
False. TMobile can easily be unlocked via deveopler tab

I was'nt talking about T-Mobile, I was referencing the 815 series.
[G4 General] Eric618:
To my knowledge, using the Loki method does not require an unlocked bootloader.
[G4 General] NicoC72:
Yeah, the G2 never got an unlocked bootloader. Loki and Bump got around that.
[G4 General] jonathan3579:
Wait.. Really? We aren't on the list of supported devices for bootloader unlock.

[G4 General] Swetnes:
Ditto...plenty of development without an unlocked bootloader on the G2. Just give Autoprime time for him to work his magic as he did on the G2 & G3 with bump. Besides the inherent advantage of not unlocking the bootloader is the ability to return to 100% stock for warranty. If you Unlock the bootloader it cannot be undone and therefore the warranty is gone forever. Just sayin.[emoji39]
[G4 General] jonathan3579:
Yeah I saw that. I'm just surprised since it isn't marked as eligible. Oh well. Lol.
[G4 General] :
Waiting for a Stock Rom thats been suped up. Hopefully cloudy, then getting some xposed in this bisnitch!
[G4 General] djkinetic:
99.99999 percent sure that the Loki and Bump Exploits/Bypasses were closed by LG. Right now the only confirmed unlocked G4 bootloaders are the TMO and 815 EU. Everyone else may get safestrap type of recovery, but that means no AOSP or Custom kernels not based on LG Source. I've come to the realization that if I want AOSP or any type of AOSP rom I will get an OPO or Nexus. Any AOSP rom on LG devices has in the past been filled with little bugs that never fully got fixed, but hey thats the beauty of android you have a choice.
[G4 General] :
Why ruin this device with AOSP. I understand how great it is and everything, but from my understanding, you can't get the full potential out of this phone. Just wait for a debloated, suped up stock rom and this device will be perfect. I uninstalled 30+ apps once root hit and the device is blazing now. Can't wait to test battery and since I have TMO version, I might flash that camera mod in the theme&app section if it benefits me greatly.
[G4 General] Derpling:
Now thing will start to happen, what i really waiting for is custom recovery and a stock rom like cloudy but for G4, that will incorporate all G4 Korean updates, as they fixed major issues with the device.
[G4 General] partylikeaninjastar:
I just put that on my G3. Would love to see it on my G4.
[G4 General] djkinetic:
Pretty much this unless all the variants get a custom recovery, nothing much in the way of roms will come. The 815 EU and 811 are small portions of the entire G4 user base. Went through this with the G3, had the TMO G3 and even though it had the unlocked BL for a long time till bump came along nothing happened. Then bump opened up the flood gates. But even then it was one of the last variants to ever get roms that the international variants had for a while.
[G4 General] Derpling:
Well this is the first root method which works on lot of devices, more will get support soon, and i believe things will go fast from now on.

On LG side i've heard we gonna get 5.1.1 soon, although i won't be surprise if they skip it and we get Android M instead.
[G4 General] player911:
I agree with the CM and AOSP roms. I tried them on my G2 and it just felt... empty. Having used nothing but Nexus devices prior to the G2... I was blown away by the stock software. The Stock rom is fantastic with lots of really really good features. It is just bloated down. I always returned back to stock on my G2 after a few days. Granted I did flash the Flex and G3 roms (but they were still stock LG roms). Once the G2 got Lollipop, it incorporated all of the G3 features.

Root was just released today. I'm waiting a few weeks before I root but essentially thats all I need.
[G4 General] djkinetic:
According to jcase future firmware that they have access to shows the root shell backdoor used in this root has been closed. So you probably won't want to OTA to 5.1.1 if you plan to keep root. Taken from jcase response in the KR root thread: "Timing of the release? Timing of the release is because we are now aware that this method is no longer working on firmware that will be releasing in the near future. I was received LG G4 firmware that is missing the root shell backdoor, which is how we write to the block device. With that missing, its im possible to abuse LG's lackluster selinux policies in the same way."
[G4 General] daddymikey1975:
Did you have issues with your device missing taps before you rooted and de-bloated? If so, how does it respond now, does it seem better?

Just curious.
[G4 General] :
The only time I had the mistouch issues was on the home screen and when there's adds while internet browsing. Since I installed adaway and nova launcher, everything is a lot better
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
You don't need an unlocked BL. You just need a recovery. Safestrap is a recovery used for locked BLs. Devs can do something like that

Sent from my G4 using your mom
[G4 General] thenewbigmack:
You said, and I quote "Only model currently able to unlock the bootloader is the EU model."

Once again, this is false.
[G4 General] bobloadmire:
We are going to be using FlashFire until we get recovery I bet.
[G4 General] ryanpm40:
Huh why can't you relock the bootloader? Pretty sure I have on my old Samsung and HTC phones..
[G4 General] autoprime:
dont even need safestrap really.. but it would make things a bit easier to flash for yall.

BUT.. someone could totally make some custom system.img's that you could flash the same way you rooted. So custom LG roms are possible already.. someone just needs to make them. *update* I should specify.. by custom LG roms I mean roms based on the default rom on your phone... something like what CloudyFa does. NOT AOSP/CM-Type roms... as they usually need a custom kernel.

But yes... to change the kernel and to have true TWRP (replacing stock recovery) you'd need a bootloader unlocked device.. which is currently only H815 EU OPEN and H811.
[G4 General] grneyez:
Whatever dude.
[G4 General] :
Sweet... Just need to get cloudy to a G4 rom lol
[G4 General] daddymikey1975:
So.... Do tell... Are you working on an unlock for us mortals? Lol
[G4 General] gsxcorey:
If you install twrp on the tmobile version that means your bootloader is unlocked? Even an Ota update can't stop you with twrp correct?
[G4 General] leond:
I think LG has to release sources so custom ROMs can be made. Stock based custom ROMS with stock kernel should be possible even with locked bootloader. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[G4 General] hollywoodS14:
This might have been mentioned, I didn't read the whole thread. From my understanding of a comment made in the root thread by autoprime, stock based roms are kind of possible right now. Basically the same method that root was obtained through. Modifying a stock image then loading through the same process. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what I read, and back ups can be made the same way.

[G4 General] player911:
You do not have to unlock the bootloader to flash a custom recovery like TWRP and flash custom roms. The LG G2 and G3 did not have unlocked bootloaders. We rooted and flashed a custom recovery via Flashify. Then reboot into recovery and flash whatever you want.

If we can flash a system image, why not push a recovery image? Seems the process would be the same.

loki and bump were = unlocked bootloader (as far as custom boot imgs are concerned).

just root isn't enough.
[G4 General] zaferaxu:
Now everything is clear , thank you sir. We are waiting for your new good news
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
So actual root is just for apps like Titanium backup and Viper4android? (Which is already pretty good)
[G4 General] Ghstudent:
Greenify, adaway, betterbatterystats, build.prop edits, ability to change bootup image/sound, and my personal favorite... The ability to change the god awful LG emojis to iOS emojis (or another manufacturers if you so please) are just a few of the possibilities you will have with root. The possibilities are ultimately endless... Unless you want to flash an AOSP ROM, then you're S.O.L.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
But you can mod stock widgets like transparent weather widget, right?

It looks like it will be a while before we see LG custom roms on G4 if we need unlocked bootloader.

It looks like Kcal is working though! It's a very important tool on M9
[G4 General] AhsanU:
I personally love stock Android emoji's, which is the same as iOS I think.

Here's a link to an app that worked well for me: I got stock Android emoji's on all my messaging apps, except WhatsApp of course.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stevenschoen.emojiswitcher&hl=en
[G4 General] Ghstudent:
Trust me, that was the first app that I downloaded when I rooted, lol. I'm currently working on porting the HOLO theme to our variant. I have the status bar fixed, now I'm deciding whether or not I want to theme the settings by myself because I don't believe it is included. The only thing that sucks is since we can't flash the easiest way that I know how to do this is to make it a tethered theme... ?
[G4 General] AhsanU:
I would love to see a status bar fix for the H815. I miss a centered clock, AOSP icons, battery options, etc. My main gripe with the stock ROM is just how ugly the status bar is. You should definitely post some pics of your progress thus far though
[G4 General] Ghstudent:
Pics per request:
[G4 General] AhsanU:
Nice! There's a zip file to flash in the themes section of these forums to make the G4 look like stock Android. Wish I was savvy enough to just replace the system files necessary myself to make it look the way it! Damn this locked bootloader haha
[G4 General] ThatKawaiiGuy:
Custom Roms would take device source to be developed. Which isn't even done for the H815 yet. It's gonna be a while.
[G4 General] jal3223:
What's the odds of getting loki or bump running on this device? Do you guys have high hopes?
[G4 General] autoprime:
Loki has been patched by Qualcomm and bump has been patched by LG. there is a 0% chance of getting those to work. I was simply listing the methods so people understood the differences and similarities between official unlock, exploits like loki/bump and safestrap-type methods.

An entirely new exploit will be needed for the G4 and future locked LG devices. As for possibilities... who knows...
[G4 General] jal3223:
I have faith in you guys. Thanks for all of the hard work.
[G4 General] bobloadmire:
what about flash fire? we were using that on the S6 to flash roms without even tripping knox.
[G4 General] UktenaWarrior28:
There is a debloated stock rom that also stops ota from happening. I haven't had any problems at all. It also seems like my phone has been a little updated with a sharpness on the screen. It seems like it is very vivid or it could be the fact that I am using a photo I took with the amazing camera.

[G4 General] RenaKunisaki:
Maybe dumb question, but why is root not enough to run a custom ROM? Once we have root, can't we just let the stock ROM boot and then do like "dd if=/sdcard/myCustomKernel.bin of=/dev/mem"? (Gross over-simplifcation but you get the idea.)
[G4 General] Hashbang173:
The boot.img has to be signed correctly by the carrier/vendor in order to boot from a locked bootloader. Installing a custom kernel via dd when the ROM is running will do nothing except cause the device not to boot on the next boot.

However, a kexec method may be viable to run a custom kernel on a locked bootloader.
[G4 General] autoprime:
could flash custom LG roms using the method [MENTION=6764728]RenaKunisaki[/MENTION] mentions... something like you'd get from Cloudyfa on the G2/G3 minus any kernel tweaks. Something like that would be suitable for many users I'm sure.

but of course no aosp-type roms since that needs a new kernel.
[G4 General] jeffpd26:
I tried at least 5 different custom roms on my G3. I don't know why, but I liked stock better than any of them. I'm wondering if the same will ring true with the G4
[G4 General] synplex:
Thx Again!

I had a Note 4 till about 3 days ago, but as soon as I read that the LG G4 achieved root. Within less then 18 hours, I sold my Note 4 on Swappa and brought an Off-Contract Lg G4 (kept my Unlimited data) @ Verizon for $480 (Got them to price match tmobile). I then immediately rooted and added Hotspot Provision and now patiently await debloated/custom Roms. :)

I also made it in time for the Free Leather back/Battery Promo !! :p

Thank you to all the Devs that made this possible!!! :D :good:
[G4 General] RenaKunisaki:
Right, kexec is what I was referring to. I used dd to try to explain what I meant. Replace the current kernel in RAM after it's booted up.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
A custom rom based on stock is the best, it will give more customizations like colors,transparency,hide some system icons, no jpeg compression in camera...
[G4 General] Hashbang173:
Read the first portion of this page to get a better understanding of kexec. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec

Maybe also read a page on a kernel as well.

I believe we would have to have a SafeStrap like solution first to have kexec.
[G4 General] jesssiii:
Sent my G4 back to Verizon, back on my G2. Thought root would be enough, I was wrong. And safestrap was why I ditched my S5 after 2 days. Without Loki or Bump, no unlocked bootloader... I LOVE my G2, but in the future I may have to look toward HTC or a Nexus. Ugh. Too bad because I really fell in love with LG ?
