[LG G Flex 2] stinka318:
How can you tell

When I go in to service menu I see nothing about the boot loader INFO.....

It is like the g3 I had no boot loader that I can see.....
[LG G Flex 2] francescrm:
I don't know, sorry, in fact I have H955, I just replied because I never heard that any Flex 2 model has custom recovery.
[LG G Flex 2] adds08:
unlocked meaning that it is Carrier Unlocked... (ie Any GSM SIM would work along with ATT's)

Bootloader unlock is something different...

lockscreen unlock is different..

your door lock unlock is different...

The bootloader is still securely locked away and encrypted by Mrs. ATT and Mr. LG ..
[LG G Flex 2] stinka318:
How can I tell if it is locked......I was told the same thing about my g3 but still got recovery......I do believe that it may be a fact for the US but I'm not in the us...
[LG G Flex 2] adds08:
No matter where you are US or Pluto....bootloader is locked..

G3 is different device where bootloader was workedaround using bump to flash bumped imgs
[LG G Flex 2] stinka318:
Yea well if this is the case I reckon I'm done with all lg junk very disappointed with the g4 h815t and lg gflex2 it is a good device but no development. I think a may move to a oppo or one plus....
[LG G Flex 2] Le_Zouave:
Blame Qualcomm for it's SD810.
[LG G Flex 2] rogconnect:
Seriously, why SD810?

6p is 810

1+2 is 810

Sent from my Honor 5X KIW-L24
[LG G Flex 2] Le_Zouave:
Because of his overheated reputation, the Flex 2, the first phone to have the SD810, sold quite poorly. In reality there was more phone in the past that overheated more than the Flex 2 but people stay away from a phone that seems to have a flaw.

That reputation forced LG to use a 6 core SoC in the LG G4 (that came after the LG G Flex 2 with 8 core).

If there is no dev for LG G Flex 2 is because there is few user. Even with a locked bootloader, if our phone was sold massively, someone would have found a way to unlock it as it already happened with so many phone with locked bootloader in the past.

1plus two have a reputation of overheating, Nexus 6P have a reputation of overheating.

In fact SD810 caused inderectly major profit loss for Qualcomm as it was not chosen for the alternate SoC for the Galaxy S6. Samsung sell so many phone that their own production of Exynos SoC is not enough and need another SoC to still produce their flagship. But with SD810 they lose Samsung which is a major client.
[LG G Flex 2] copy2050:
Nexus 6P and OP2 have SD810 but not the initial realese, have v.3.0 since i know and that version dont overheat...so, Qualcomm did a big mistake launch the SD810 too early...if they aprimorate more this SoC i am sure more phones will use it, unfortunnaly LG are the fist brand to use it so it's the first to suffer in market.

but now GF2 have a 80% price cut since theyr launch and i see a lot of people buy it, i dont know why LG dont unlock theyr bootloader now!
[LG G Flex 2] Le_Zouave:
Oh yeah the so called hardware revision.

The Sony Xperia Z3+/Z4 (same model, different name) had the V2.1 (same as 1+two) and it was the worst of them all before being patched, the camera triggered an auto shutdown after few minutes. There is no V3.0

I bought the Flex 2 because of the price cut and I'm happy with that phone for the price I paid.

In fact in the end it's not really Qualcomm that is to blame but ARM as their big.LITTLE architecture is a failure. Qualcomm failed, Samsung almost failed but limited the heat with 14nm technology and other chinese branch chose 8 Cortex-A53 core (as opposed to the 4 A57 + 4 A53)

It don't change the fact that there is way less LG G Flex 2 than any LG G model.
[LG G Flex 2] zarolio:
The fact is that this phone rocks, no matter if the bootloaders are locked or unlocked. Anyone can check the benchmarks and see.

Also it sells a lot due to price cut.

Also there is no real overheating problem. Maybe because its plastic and not metal, i am not sure. Still, i cant say that i ve felt overheating nder any circumstance.

It s a shame the is no custom ROM.
[LG G Flex 2] Mr.Nice.ba:
This is amazing device except boring and heavy lg skin. This hardware need AOSP rom, just imagine how fluid and smooth that combo will work.

Shame on you LG, people with some cripled mediatek phones have custom roms and we are not able to flash anything.
[LG G Flex 2] n00b_dr0id:
Agree with you. I think the reason LG is acting so weird about not unlocking and going against independent development is because they want their phones to have tight security. They don't want everyone playing around with their bootloaders and Xposed etc. The reason for my belief is because last month I incidentally faced FRP lockdown. And spent a month looking for a method to unlock it but ONLY one software worked. I bought the phone in December and LG had plugged all the possible methods available even that were discovered in Jan on Samsung phones and even that loophole will be fixed as soon as they find it. Even Samsung is tightening the noose on security because they are facing harder competition when Blackberry decided to switch to android too with fort knox security. No one wants losing business. Google was already facing major embarrassment on security front and people switching to Apple. Just see how fast they are acting on plugging security holes each month with their patches. So I don't think we would see any development on LG phones atleast and even less in future.

@ op

No there is no unlocked bootloader yet... we have prepared a bounty for whoever does.

WithstandZ - Zombie Survival!​

I've been looking for a decent open world survivor game for 17 years now. Android has always been kind of lacking in this department. I found a game in beta that seems like it has a bit of potential. WithstandZ is a zombie survival game that includes open world maps, crafting items, building forts and multiplayer mode! The graphics are kept very simple in order to make everything run smooth on Android. The game looks a bit like a minecraft clone at first glance.

The controls are decent and I found running, jumping and attacking to be very smooth. So far this game isn't going to blow your mind but the potential is obvious as they continue to work through beta.

SURVIVAL:

You will have to learn and develop your own survival technique, go in search of food and equipment and keep the thirst, hunger and life of your character in stable level.

EXPLORE:

The game features a map of open world, where who chooses where to go, it's really you! Therefore, you will have many interesting places to explore and loot.

MULTIPLAYER:

The multiplayer/online mode brings a new experience to players on portable devices like smartphones, Tablets and other, that way you will enjoy and have fun with your friends, and if you're playing alone, it's up to you to decide if you will the player "Hero" or "Villain". :)

ZOMBIES:

Our zombies are constituted with an excellent artificial intelligence, that way if you are inside a House, you don't have to worry about a Zombie appear out of nowhere, they will only come after you if you really want.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skymera:
Hi all,

I've had my Shield for 6 months and has mostly been trouble free.

Since updating to 3.0 Marshmallow network performance seems to have tanked.

Play Store is very slow to load. YouTube is very slow to load between channels and I have a hard time streaming anything over 480p. Sometimes I just get an error.

My connection is 100Mbps and I have no performance issues on my PC which is in the same room as the Shield.

I have a Virgin Superhub 2 for routing and a Cisco RV220W as an AP. My network is 2.4GHz but there are few networks around me so interfering is unlikely.

I factory reset after 3.0 update. I am also rooted but have no apps to use root yet. I'd rather not wipe and roll back to 2.1.

Suggestions? :confused:
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banderos101:
Not sure how much help this is

Theres an app in the playstore that specifically tests your local network speeds, if you happen to have two android devices, install the app on both devices, one being the shield, and see if your having the same results.........i dont think its likely, but if it transfrs at full speed it might narrow down your search a bit........trial and error

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] sonhy:
link is dead 404 :( maybe just too cheap. $3.82 each, lucky i got a few.

anyway $10 for the thinner better ones isnt too bad, here's the search link:

www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?Search...9&initiative_id=SB_20160316041032&needQuery=y

if this cheap one can carry the current then im sure the brand name ones can too.

i have sent msg to seller about why his not selling anymore, when i bought them i could select 10+ units, but it was actually more costly, so i bought one by one :p

the magnet is actually too strong as my tablet usb port is a little larger so the connector comes out with the cable, a little glue will fix it though.

where as the s7 edge port is tight, needs dental floss to pull out :p

overall very convenient for sure.

Btw i tried with QC2.0 charger can get 9v 1.5-1.6a

Got it and it's complete crap. The portion that goes into your device will not stay in the device. So the magnet is strong enough to pull it right out. Spent $4 on it and I don't think it's even worth that. I contacted the seller, we'll see what happens. Buyer beware!

[General Questions and Answers] phonedude1929:
So I'm from Indonesia, and my dad is selling a Note 5 with an online service that acts sort of like Craigslist. We received a message from a supposedly German man living in Ghana, who seems to be really interested in buying the device. However, I find it rather incredulous that he'd want to buy a phone from us when he lives almost on the other side of the world. My dad already asked DHL, who said it would cost around 150 USD to ship, and combined with the device, it makes it almost a full 100 USD more expensive than a NEW Note 5 he could buy locally (I checked).

He says he has already sent the money to a bank account (which was empty, for precaution) to my dad, but it's been a few days, and the money still isn't there. My dad wants the device to sell by 25 March, which is when the S7 begins shipping here, or else the phone is unlikely to sell, and he paid a few bucks to make the ad become the top result, and that lasts only a week, so we're working with some pretty tight timing here. Should we wait or just tell him the deal's off and find someone else?

[Huawei Watch] leaskovski:
Ok, so found a really annoying issue when the watch is set to play phone audio. Basically when you answer a call or make a call from your phone, the functionality of the screen turning off when you put your phone to your ear no longer works, which means you end up controlling your handset with your ear if you ear touches the screen.

Very annoying!

This only happens if the watch is basically setup as bluetooth audio for the phone (as in you can take calls on your watch).

This was already discussed here:

It seems to be a problem in the Google Dialer App. The problem is not present with Samsung phones.

For the moment you'll have to press the power button, to disable the screen. Hopefully a future update of the phone dialer app will fix this, you may support this here:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It really depends on the phone/case. My Nexus 6P will fit in cases with a back skin, but it causes issues with the top lip popping off. The S7E on the other hand had issues with the button alignment while using just a back skin from my experiences. This was evident on my Spigen Tough Armor, NeoHybrid Crystal, Thin Fit, Speck Candyshell Grip and a few others. I can install one and take pictures to demonstrate what I'm referring to. The cases for this phone have tight tolerances so even a very small amount of added thickness can be the difference between a good/poor fit. I'm not saying this is always the situation, but I wanted to let people know that it does occur to help out.

Edit: I also have a silver carbon fiber SW skin that I might add later on this week. If anyone is interested in seeing it on the phone let me know.
