[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doffo:
Greetings everyone!

Signed up so that I can hopefully help someone else in need with their LG G3 phone using the Straight Talk 4G LTE Verizon sim card.

After many hours of flashing roms and trying out various things, it turns out for some reason other variants of the stock roms like Bliss Pop, CoudyG3, and Skydragon will not work with the data. I can still use my phone and make calls and i can still get text messages and even pictures sent through text messages, but for the life of me data would NOT work.

The only rom that did work again was the Jasmine rom. To my understanding it works pretty close to the stock verizon rom that comes with the LG G3. After the flash, BOOM! Everything worked and data came back to life.

I noticed the APN settings is very very different but this rom wont let you go in it to see it's settings. Surely there is a way to import/export the APN data to push on over to another custom rom? Just weird that after putting this specific custom rom data happily worked again.

BTW, if anyone tries to activate a verizon lg g3 with straight talk, be careful. Though their stupid website said that the phone was already registered with another tracfone provider/service, I was still able to get the phone to work. If after entering your MEID/EMI or whatever the numbers are and the straight talk website spits it back out at you, CALL straight talk. I got screwed and used up the network access code which somehow got lost into oblivion, but turns out that they themselves can manually add the Verizion 4G LTE sim card with the network access code card. (I bought the 4g LTE sim card package from wal mart). As long as the phone is in good standing, it will work!

Thanks. Hope this helps someone else out trying to get it to work with straight talk. I will try and see if there is a way to export this APN setting. I was told by straight talk that you don't need an APN set, but i think they are lying.

Peace!

solved

Back again,

Happy to report im using skydragon Rom with straight talk. Turns out you do in fact need to set the apn in the settings. Just add this apn

acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp

This is the apn for the Verizon 4g lte sim card when you use it. I didn't have to reset the phone but now data works great.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobby8451:
Hey question. I have a Straight Talk S3 currently running CM 11 kitkat based rom and things work great but I found other roms I want to install one of them being a Pac-Man custom rom but I have no data. I have a Verizon CDMA 4G LTE sim coming in acouple days just need the apn settings. Could anyone help me out with this? Thanx in advance for any help.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doffo:
Surely it is the same APN setting as above. Try it out once you get your Sim card. Also, that S3 being a different phone may pick up on the access point names when you try another rom and set itself up, but if data is still not working, then try that APN I posted on the first post.

Also, be careful that you are actually connecting at LTE speeds as long as your area has it. Flashing to another rom I was only connecting at 3G. Turns out that once I tried another rom, you have to set the preferred network to LTE, then give the phone a reset. It took it a moment after reboot, but LTE finally showed up.

Depending on your phone, there are other settings to be set in it's hidden menu settings using the phones dialer. Just google around. :)

Hope this helps!

Never had anything like this happened to any of my phones. Just received my G4 last night and notice that my screen brightness reverts to 100% when I restart the phone or start the phone after removing the battery. I have had it set @ 50% w/ auto. Any ideas of what's happening?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeks Empire:

thr might be a bug

Factory Reset it and if problem remains try to flash firmware of another region

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamo76:
Thanks! I'll try that.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamo76:
How does one do that, btw?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Thats weird. I do not use auto but this is the first time I heard of this. I know when the phone overheats, it attempts to lower the screen brightness down to 80 and 90 percent, and throwing it back up on 100% once the temp is below a safe number. Perhaps this is what is happening. Maybe the throttle threshold is reverting off of auto because of temps.

I would factory reset and see if it gets cleared up. I would also check out the debloating thread to remove any unwanted carrier crap.

What model/carrier is your G4?

Totally funny you say that - I don't have a SIM in it at the moment. I'll pop my wife's card in tonight and see what happens. I think you might've hit this on the proverbial nail head.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krilok:
Yes, it's all because no sim card is inserted yet. Almost all LG's since 2013 onwards work this way. BTW, your screen auto lock time won't stick either without the sim card (set it to whatever you like, but when you reboot it'll probably revert back to two minutes...) :o
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamo76:
That's like the most bizarre behavior! Thanks again for the lead.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datorprofessor:
old post, but mine doesn't have a sim-card yet. Thanks Again.

That makes sense.

LGE asume that the phone is in a demo-prototype inside store when there is no sim-card in it. There LG is trying to seduce buyers by boast their IPS-display :cool: for potentially new customers as do Samsung and Company in the demo-mode.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeuszoos:
Just ran across this after having this issue in my LG V20 (H910) and no, I don't have a SIM in mine either. I sure hope you're right! :)

I can say for sure that a Factory Reset won't fix it, as this is a new phone. And I even did a Clean Install of a Nougat ROM (same Android version) and it did it both before (out of the box) and after.

I know this is an old thread, but in case any of you guys see this post, I'll let ya know for sure on Tuesday after the SIM is put in. If that's it, it'll be one to add to the "Holy Book of Androidedness".

Yes, I actually have a 3 ring binder with that label on it, where I write the steps to Install ROMS, fix various problems, etc.. :)

Thanks!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krilok:
Wow, wasn't expecting to be quoted after so many years... ? ?

I've gone from the G4 to a 5 and then to a 6, and all of them behaved the same way on any stock based rom. So pop in the SIM card on Tuesday, and I'm pretty sure your problem will be fixed.

Also, if you do ever decide to publish that book, don't forget to let us know where we can pick up our royalty cheques... :D

So it has been determined that LG devices now increase brightness to maximum soon after Android loads when no SIM is installed.

How does one correct the problem without using a SIM? The problem is rather annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] licensedtoquill:
Does anyone know if some OS or hardware incompatibility has cropped up recently between the S3 and itunes?

I have been using DoubleTwist to play itunes music for about four years, first on an HTC G2 and latterly on an S3. I transfer the music using DT's approved methods, either by using a USB stick or by putting the SD card back into the G2 to do the transfer. The next time I restart the device, android indexes the card, with the red vertical scan.

Recently I have noticed increasingly erratic indexing of the music. I play mostly classical and jazz CDs ripped into itunes. I now have about 34 GB of music on the SD card. When I transfer music I expect DT to rebuild its indices to reflect what is now on the SD card. When it doesn't, there is a procedure for fully rebuilding indices. But the indices have become increasingly buggy recently and now I suppose that of the 34 GB of music, only about 29GB makes it onto the card and only about 10-15% actually plays. In addition, re-indexing is supposed to iron out bugs but when I index or re-index, even more problems crop up, such as duplication of CDs, with one CD sometimes spanning up to three entries in DT and tracks on the CD being sprayed over the three entries. Occasionally a single CD set may have all tracks in one CD entry (usually entitled 'VARIOUS ARTISTS') which doesn't play, while another one which identifies the artists may have tracks 1,7 and 9 while the third has 2, 5 and 18-24.

As a cross-check DT's people had me install CloudPlay to see how it dealt with artwork. It did a much better job in one or two indexing passes than DT itself and now shows most artwork (and quickly too) but also wont play much more than 15% of what took about three days (??) to record onto the SD card. Interestingly the indexing for artwork is a CloudPlay indexing

I do get the impression that android isn't doing a particularly serious job of indexing the card, with total passes of the card sometimes lasting 20 seconds, sometimes up to five minutes but with the results equally unreliable. (Yes, I have discovered that you have to attend to index rebuilding on both the S3 as well as the SD card when you try to rebuild)

Does anyone who uses iTunes to rip CDs have any idea what is causing this please or is there some other acknowledged way of playing iTunes CD music on a Galaxy S3?

As far as I know doubletwist is the only option. Personally I've used iTunes but it's lacking basic features like drag and drop

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] licensedtoquill:
What I have is a library which occasionally increases in size: By a few CDs a month. All I need is something to either put this relatively static library onto the G111 or read the 29 or 34gb sd card and show me what is on it, along with artwork. Either dT can't do that or the android media scanner isnt reading properly? Or something is corrupting the files which transfer while they are transferring

How did you use iTunes on the G111 please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
That's odd but not unusual with the corrupted files. It might be a dt issue and not android, I'm not 100% sure though

Boot up screen tone is quite warm, and after boot its very cool(everything's bluish). But the important thing is it works properly, couldn't see any black clippings.

Nice job.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ruleh:
Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding the blue hue:

It should "cooldown" after the first time you lock the screen (bug but hard t fix).

In recovery it stays warm all the time.

You can change the colour temperature under the display settings in the rom if the colours are too cold.

I forgot to add this in the OP.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Settler11:
I've tried this kernel but it only hides the effect and makes the colors even warmer. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ruleh:
Lock and unlock your screen to get rid of warm colours.

However this kernel is badly calibrated anyways so you won't see any decent improvement in your daily use (it actually makes it harder to seperate black tones).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Settler11:
Doesn't work. Besides, I've restarted it. Also, I wasn't able to change the brightness after this update as well. So not so good, sorry.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamo76:
Hmm, now I'm worried. Cricket Wireless IMEI check (online) says that my phone can only get up to 3G. I don't think it's that I received an H815T that cannot be used our 4G/LTE bands, because:

- Settings > About Phone > Hardware Info > Model Number = LG-H815

- IMEIDATA.NET says that Model = LGH815, though suffix is ASEALB. I mean if what I have is the H815T, then why doesn't it say H815T anywhere?

Perhaps an indicator would be the update version is V10b-SEA-XX.

Is there an Cricket APN setting I can enter manually?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuantifyThis:
I have an H815 on V10b-EUR-xx. Works great on Cricket. I get the 4G icon and speed tests show LTE-class speeds. Way faster than my old phone on Cricket. Just popped my old sim out of old phone and into the G4 and it worked. Even sent me an auto-message that setup the APN for me.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamo76:
My fears were unfounded, it seems. I tested with my wife's SIM and with the APN settings - everything was a-okay. When I switch over proper in a couple of weeks, I will perform a speed test and see what's what.
[Verizon LG G3] BPHusker:
I have a Galaxy S4 and it is really starting to run like crap. I am thinking about picking up a used G3. How difficult is it to Root and unlock the bootloader on it? When I bought my s4 used I had to make sure I had the MDK bootloader because Verizon locked down any version newer. Is this a problem on the G3?
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Root is easy as this as well as installing TWRP to flash custom ROMs/kernels:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/verizon-lg-g3-one-toolkit-vs985-root-t3124846

"Unlocking" is sort of not really what you're doing with the G2. Instead, there is an exploit called Bumping where after you root, you can flash what is called a "bumped" version of TWRP that allows you to flash "bumped" ROMs. Bumped ROMs are specific to the model of G3 you are using, so you must use only VS985 ROMs that are bumped specifically for the VS985. Same with the other versions of the G3. So, you cannot flash a D850 ROM on the VS985 and vice-versa. So, if there is a ROM that is bumped for the D850 but not for the VS985, you're out of luck for that particular ROM.

A whole slew of questions can be answered here:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/help/help-thread-lg-g3-question-t2947298

This covers all variances of the G3. It's where I went to back in December when I was researching whether or not to upgrade to this phone or not. It definitely helped me decide what to do and believe me, I'm not at all disappointed with going to this phone. In fact, for a long time, I stayed on stock and unrooted because I had no reason to root. But, with the latest LP OTA (24B), I have noticed a drop in battery performance, so I've now rooted and flashed the Jasmine 8.0 ROM and the SkyDragon 4.2 Kernel. I'm on my second day, but I appear to be getting the same battery life I did pre-LP (under KK). I could unplug my phone before I went to bed the night before at 100% and wake up 5 hours later and still be at 100%. I wasn't getting that anymore under LP (I'd wake up at 93% or less under LP). With Jasmine and SkyDragon, I woke up this morning and after 5+ hours of not charging, I was still at 100%.
