That's the way they do it now. It's asuron replacing it, not Sprint. It may be a refurb. The longer they take (especially if it's back ordered) that's a good sign they are sending you a new one.

Reburbs come quick, in a plain white box (usually), new ones take a week to 10 days. Last time I did this they sent the replacement to the store I made the claim at. They would not send direct to home.

How old was yours and did you have TEP?

I'm getting nervous about this issue. I still have 10 days left with best buy.

Is this really a bad early batch or do they all have an issue. People should post their build dates (it's on the box).

Mine is a July Build and so far so good.

I wonder if we can stress test it.
[Sprint LG G4] wilsonch1551:
I'll look at my box when I get home tonight but I was able to get them to send me a whole new phone in the LG box with all the goodies so now I have multiple charge cords as well as batteries as I had gotten the free promo battery as well. might have to sell the extra's cause I never seem to have to use them.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

I actually have a picture of my original box and it was built in June. So I will have to check my second one when I get home to see when it was built and hope it is newer then that and wont have the issues.
[Sprint LG G4] centran:
Well July builds should start seeing problems in a couple weeks if it isn't just limited to a bad batch since it took a month and a half to start popping up. However given the other variants are not having this problem I want to go with bad batch. You could probably stress test it somehow and do a burn in test. I'm sure there are prime crunchers or at least run the performance test apps over and over again. Or just get a game that will stress it.

That being said there is a lack of bigger named modders and the dev community doesn't seem to have an interest in this phone. We don't even have an unlocked bootloader thus making ROMs harder to install and thus no ROMs yet. If you are into modding I would suggest turning this phone in you still can and moving on to something else.

However if you do like to root, mod, and ROM then just let this phone experience prepare you for the future. I feel this will be the emerging trend and phones are going to get harder and harder to gain root let alone ROM.
[Sprint LG G4] mswlogo:
I agree phones are getting harder to root and will continue. Except HTC does officially offer unlocked bootloader.

I did have an issue with screen today. I lost pinch zooming. No apps would pinch zoom. A reboot fixed it. I did install a screen protector last night (not glass) and I can't be sure if I rebooted it after I put it on. I'm hoping that it just needed to recalibrate after putting screen protector on and had not rebooted.

I don't care if I get frequent mods, roms. Just a basic up to date basic ROM (bloat removed, tether added) is all I want.
[Sprint LG G4] RocketFoot:
As I mentioned before, I had experienced the vertical screen split and static box issue a week or so ago but the phone has been fine since. Well, last night, I was trying to get some photos of my kid on the field at his high school football game and I discovered that the issues are related to the camera, particularly when I use the zoom feature! It seems like I get the static box on 1/4 to 1/2 of the screen just after a zoomed pic is snapped. It will last up to 3-5 seconds but not long enough to grab a screen shot. After that, the phone is laggy and the notification pane will be split and garbled when I pull it down. This may last up to 20 or 30 seconds and then everything seems to smooth out! The photos I took were also horrible! Color was washed and they were all blurry. I am not a happy camper as the camera is the main reason I chose the LGG4! I am almost 6 weeks into ownership so I can't even trade it in. Now the buyers remorse sets in...maybe I should have stuck with Samsung? Just not sure I can love this phone for 2 years!

ETA: my mfg date was 7/2015
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
My G4 has a mfg date of 5/2015. I've had for about 2 months, so far so good.
[Sprint LG G4] :
I have seen people get this issue a day/sane day they got the phone. I don't believe that it just manifests at a certain time. I feel like sprint has a crappy model or something because I've been having to replace them like crazy. The screen garble isn't as common as the freezing and rebooting issues.
[Sprint LG G4] RocketFoot:
Any word on Sprint making this a "Known Issue?"
[Sprint LG G4] :
Sprint already knows its an issue, its getting LG to come up with an agreement with sprint to get the phone replaced. LG has to admit its a problem, make a deal to reinburse sprint for exchanging out their product defect for customers, or you just get stuck having LG do the replacement if you don't have TEP. Keep in mind, technically root voids your TEP. Its really up to your technician to decide if he's gonna cut you some slack on it. Anything that would void your warrenty, or be caused by your to damage the phone isn't naturally covered :D
[Sprint LG G4] mswlogo:
You can restore stock image with no evidence of ever rooting. Or Restore with TOT. So voiding warranty isn't an issue. This assumes the phone runs good enough that you can restore it ;)

Hint: You care covered (with deductible) for accidents or theft. Hmmm I wonder why so many BAD ESN phones are on ebay.
[Sprint LG G4] RocketFoot:
I actually do have TEP on my G4...what can I expect when I walk into the Sprint Store (repair center) and tell them what it's doing? Will I get a replacement on the spot? Will the replacement be new or refurb? Is there ever an option to trade up to a different phone? Not that I would right now, but if this keeps up on the LGG4, I might want to cut my loses and move on to a Note 5. I am not happy with the camera! I even tried 'Open Camera' which worked much better but was limited to 4x zoom instead of 8x that the G4 supports. While running Open Camera, I had no static or split screen incidents!
[Sprint LG G4] mswlogo:
They will typically not replace on the spot. They will ship a new phone to the store that you will pick up and swap and it might be new or refurb.

They will not let you upgrade unless you have multiple failures. I forget how many.

I have had a phone replaced and did get a new retail one and I requested that they keep it sealed and they were fine with that so that I could sell it as new sealed.

What problem do you have with camera, or is camera what's broken? My camera works good.

Note 5 is on my watch list too if anything goes wrong with this phone.
[Sprint LG G4] RocketFoot:
When I use the camera's digital zoom, I get static box on screen and/or split vertical screen issues. I am testing OPEN CAMERA now and so far it hasn't caused any of those issues, but I am not sure if any replacement camera apps take full advantage of the G4's laser focus hardware?
[Sprint LG G4] :
It's been listed as a known issue.
[Sprint LG G4] signal34:
So that means Sprint will now replace it for free, even without having TEP? Also, would we likely get a refurb, whatever's lying in the back of the store or a brand new phone?

Thanks for any additional insight you could provide. I'm ready to drive out to my local Sprint store to get this thing replaced ASAP if that's the case. :good:

I can barely use my phone for 10 minutes before the screen gets garbled. Seems it's running hot all the time now. :crying:
[Sprint LG G4] :
Yeah. Sprint will replace the device iy without it being on TEP. Now wither or not you get a new phone or a reconditioned device depends on stock in the warehouse.. Corporate stores and third party stuff have decent stocks from the warehouse. Most of the orders I have been doing have been reconditioned. And, they've been on backorder.
[Sprint LG G4] centran:
Is it only for the garbled screen issue? I was having the crashing and reboot problem. The screen did pop up here and there but it wasn't very reproducible as other people have had. I sent my phone to LG but some reported they replaced the flash memory and the same issues popped up a week later so I am not hopeful they fixed my issue. If I can just bring it to a Sprint store if the issues start happening when I get it back I will be much more happy. I don't need my phone gone for another 2 weeks.
[Sprint LG G4] :
The freezing issues are not listed.
[Sprint LG G4] signal34:
What a PITA. My local stores are saying I have to have TEP or go through LG, and the corporate stores are saying they will only replace the screen. :mad:
[Sprint LG G4] :
Show them the image I posted where it says "waive fee." Tell them if they don't follow policy you will escalate the issue to customer care.
[Sprint LG G4] mswlogo:
Is it implied that "Local Policy Applies" could still mean you need TEP for Sprint to do anything?

The only thing clear from your post is, it should be replaced (not repaired) and no deductibles, but all other policies would still apply.

And replacement could still be a refurb.
[Sprint LG G4] :
Not even LG will give you a new one u less they have to. Once it becomes a known issue with a waived fee it means they can replace it without TEP, and not charge you the 75 dollar replacement fee.

You're not guaranteed a new device ever with a replacement. At this point you can either get them to replace it, or just deal with the problem...hell I'd even have change the screen first just to see if it fixes it and if doesn't then you can get to Advance Exchange it. But you won't get a new replacement unless you call customer and argue it and make a big fuss they may put a note in the account to just do it.
[Sprint LG G4] signal34:
Finally found a store that recognized the issue and would swap it out. No fuss no muss. Just have to wait 3-5 days to get it in.
[Sprint LG G4] :
Awesome!
[Sprint LG G4] RocketFoot:
Well, my G4 was solid for almost 2 weeks but last night it started doing the vertical split thing again! I could literately scroll one half of my screen while the other half stayed static. Then the multicolored snow would pop up on the static half of the screen for a second or two...too fast for a screen shot. I restarted the phone and it seemed to lag a bit afterwards but cleared up and is working OK again. WTF, LOL? I haven't loaded any new apps or did anything different, it just seems to take a fit every now and then!

I have TEP insurance but I don't really want a refurb device! What the heck should I do? I am waiting for the next update to see if it helps but I think this is a hardware issue. At this point, I would love to trade it in for a Note 5 and just cut my losses! My kids both got Galaxy's (G6 Edge Plus and Note 5) and both are super nice and problem free! I don't know why I second guessed myself and chose the G4?? :crying:
[Sprint LG G4] signal34:
Unfortunately a screenshot won't work...you won't see the split screen effect. You'll have to take a photo of the screen with another camera.

If you don't want the chance of getting a refurb, ask if they'll replace the screen for you instead. If you still experience the issue, you may just have to roll the dice.
[Sprint LG G4] :
I've tried replacing the screen for the device and it still reappeared after. I think it may be more motherboard related.
[Sprint LG G4] RocketFoot:
Just got back from Sprint and they ordered me a replacement. They said that the last few that they have ordered were brand new phones. I just have to roll the dice because it is getting worse daily!
[Sprint LG G4] :
When we order the phones, it shows what phone were ordering. If its new or not, usually at least. SOMETIMES its a new one even if it says were ordering a reconditioned one.
[Sprint LG G4] mswlogo:
I'd go through sprint, you can always not accept it, if its a refurb. good chance it will be new. And if you do want to swap for other brand you may have sealed unit to sell. I was considering a note 5, but there appears to be worse reliability issues with note 5.
[Sprint LG G4] RocketFoot:
Sprint said my replacement will be here Wednesday so I guess we'll see, LOL! They said the camera and heat issues I have been having are not typical either so maybe the new phone will be up to par and I can go back to loving the G4!
[Sprint LG G4] signal34:
Hey there soulysephiroth,

There has been some talk on Sprint forums that some retailers have been told ZV6 will fix the issue (whenever that might be released), and they are no longer doing exchanges. Can you confirm this might be the case, or is there a Sprint rep that's feeding a line of bull?

Thanks much. :good:
[Sprint LG G4] :
When I get into work tomorrow I'll look at the known issues list and see if it's changed. usually it won't stop being replaced till the actual software fix is done. And it's still up to the tech if they want to replace it out still if you TEP that is.
[Sprint LG G4] RocketFoot:
Just a heads up, this issues seems to get worse as time goes on! My phone is acting up almost every time I use it! It started only once every week or so! Hopefully my replacement will be in tomorrow and I can get back to trouble free usage!
[Sprint LG G4] RocketFoot:
Got my replacement and used LG Backup and Restore with good results! All my wallpapers, home screens and apps were ported over! All I had to do was log back into some of the apps! Very handy LG feature! The replacement phone was brand new but did not come with any battery or charger. The Sprint store manager restored my contacts but had no idea that LG Backup would work so well...I did that myself when I got home! He also told me that tons of customers were having issues with the LGG4 and that the replacement phones are 2nd gen and should not have the issue. He said that LG is using new hardware with old G3 software and problems are happening to many of these phones! Not sure if I buy that...LOL! He also said that LG will be sending out a big update soon to address the issues! It's hard for me to believe a guy that doesn't even know that LG Backup works!
[Sprint LG G4] :
Yeah I've never once heard them say anything about G3 software and I talk with the reps etc.
[Sprint LG G4] :
The known issues tool still states this is an exchange with waived fee. Nothing staing a software fix.
[Sprint LG G4] RocketFoot:
I'm thinking that if some of these guys don't know the answer, it's easier to make one up, LOL!

Has this issue shown up a lot at your site and any word on a 'big' update coming down the pipe anytime in the future?
[Sprint LG G4] :
My store has replaced a lot if g4s with this issue. I've never once heard about software update for. It's hard to say, I work for a third party sprint maybe the core stores get more info. But nine of the repair stuff talks an update.b
[Sprint LG G4] number1coolguy:

Hi all,

I am using this command for downloading android source for kitkat 4.4.2, "repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.4.2_r1" then after I used "repo sync" and I checked that it is almost downloaded of size 22 Gb but it is still downloading, I am confused and having no idea about its actual download size, please can any expert give me estimation of its download size..? I am waiting for its download completion.

Based on https://developer.sony.com/develop/.../build-aosp-android-p-9-0-0-2#tutorial-step-4

Sony says estimated size 20GB.

Downloaded 35GB and still in progress....

Is the 'repo' something like git? Then this could help to find the size:

Is there any way to get this thing back to work?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Olipro:
MicroDrives are sensitive to presuure; when you were rising or descending, the change in pressure could have caused the damage.

recommendation: turn off the device for take-off and landing.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
My buddy had a similar problem with his. His MicroDrive stopped working. WMStorage didn't fix the issue either. He was running the original ROM that came with the device and some software, nothing more. The only thing that brought back the drive was to do a hard reset, then flash the factory ROM back onto the device. I've had issues with the drive myself so run everything off of my SD Card and only use the MicroDrive for temporary storage or backups of my SD Card. This sucks that we can't trust the drive. Just makes me nervous using it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mojo2000:

My microdrive had corrupted twice before, and I had thought that using the miniSD would completely solve the problem. I was wrong.

Yesterday, my genuine Toshiba miniSDHC lost everything on it. I could not recover it with Pocket Mechanics Professional. Soft reset does not help, as it did previously. I don't know if this was caused my the repeated removal and insertion if card which performed in attempting to fix my SIP selection problem.

The lessen for me is, do a regular backup to PC and do not take out and put in the card without switching off the device.

I still have not reinstalled my applications and data yet because today is the day to upgrade my Dopod to WM6. I'm really looking forward to the upgrade. I expect some of my applications to be dumped for compatibility reason, not in the end I'd have a transformed and better computer.

Htc Advantage Microdrive Failure

I want to add my voice to the concerns raised regarding the much sung about MicroDrive with 8GB.

I have lost all the data I installed and stored on the MicroDrive. I had photos, documents - some of them work related and do not have them anywhere at all.

Does anyone have any idea how I can undelete or recover these?

By the way, I did not delete them, they were simply gone!

Please help.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Try to use WMStorage which will allow the drive/s to be recognized under Windows as an external storage drive. Then get yourself a copy of Ontrack Easy Recovery and use that to recover the lost files. I've never had to recover files from my MD or SD yet on my phone but my cousin had a camera that did something like this....all pictures just dissappeared and I used the program and got back stuff he forgot about that had been looooong gone. Works well. Hope this helps :-)

Not sure if there is a free trial available or not. You may want to check their site. I just have a copy since I purchased one for work.

sorry guys been busy at work, i didnt really fix it without losing my data. i just used the restore microdrive option and then re-format it, lost all my data but at least its working. lol. still pissed off though.

i fiqured some bits out though, wether your using active sync or wm5torage 1.75 and your transfering huge amount of data at once windows then give an error cant complete , cant find drive source.

So I had to do all the restore microdrive thing again but was just testing why it happen the first time.

good thing to do is to use wm5torage 1.75 to transfer but only transfer some amount and wait for awhile and continue.
