One of the first mods I made with gravity box when I first got the phone. Having come from a samsung, I'm quite used to the back being on the far right. There's also an option in GB to add the overflow/menu button to the navigation bar. Most menus already have the menu or over flow accessible in one way or another, but this keeps it on the screen consistently.

Nope. The Pre-installed Moon Phase on my Black Steel does not have the icons for Missed Calls, Notifications or Messages.

I have the exact same watch in your picture and mine doesn't have the missed calls, notifications or messages dial at the bottom of the that watch face. Custom watch faces are sooooo much better than the preinstalled ones anyway, with the I/O 2016 face being my favourite so far.

Supposed to have GSM+CDMA + LTE bands for the big 3 (Tmobile, Verizon, ATT : 2/4/5/12/13/17, pentaband 3G)

ATT likes to whitelist phones for LTE/HD Voice (if this phone isn't on their whitelist, you need to jump through hoops to get LTE access, and very difficult get HD Voice/VoLTE to work properly)

Sprint has some issues too(5X/6P doesn't have wifi calling on Sprint), and you kinda want 2xCA/3xCA no sprint, so pointless to talk about them

Verizon - they are required to allow band 13 devices if device passes technical certificate. (points to HTC One A9 and them cancelling Verizon VoLTE support)

T-mobile - They want devices to pass their VoLTE technical cert process. Otherwise they demand manufacturers to disable band 12 (due to concerns of no 911 if you only have band 12 LTE data, and phone doesn't drop to another carrier for 911). Similar issues with Wifi calling (Moto X Pure doesn't have wifi calling)

B&H lists phone to be release in April/May, can't find any FCC docs yet

EDIT

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1239314-REG/lg_lgrs988_ausasv_g5_h850_32gb_smartphone.html

Under Q&A, Steve (staff at B&H) says there is band 12 VoLTE support, but do you trust him?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] argenteloup:
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-RS988-Silver-g5

LG actually has it on the website.

I still wouldn't trust B&H nor LG until someone has a RS988 model on hand to confirm it.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
The "R" signifies LTE in Rural America, a joint effort between Verizon and various small CDMA operators to improve coverage. Basically, Verizon let these smaller operators set up shop on Band 13, in exchange for on-network roaming (both for Verizon customers on the LRA network, and LRA customers on Verizon's network). Some of these operators also have their own networks on other LTE bands, such as Bluegrass Cellular on Band 12 (in addition to Band 13), and some have roaming agreements with other carriers (Sprint). This is why the LRA model is chock full o' bands.

I wonder if the LRA model is bootloader unlockable like the T-Mobile model...
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] svengalis:
b&h said the phone is expected to be released by may 11th, i wander if anyone else is going to sale it?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] paperWastage:
except that this model doesn't support Sprint (missing band 26/41)... oh well
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
Bands 26 and 41 are only needed for tri-band LTE Plus / Spark connectivity. Band 25 (which this LRA model has) is Sprint's primary LTE band. I suspect that either one of the LRA carriers has its own Band 25 network, or has a roaming agreement with Sprint but only has roaming access to Band 25.

For Sprint customers, the bigger issue is whether Sprint will allow it on their network. I recall that when the Moto X Pure was first released, people had to request Sprint to add the device's IMEI to the approved device database in order to use it on Sprint. I suspect that reps won't as easily add another carrier's variant of the G5 to their approved database, when Sprint is selling its own model.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Illmatic662:
Thanks a bunch for this information

I knew for a while something was off with the R and figured it signified something else since the name is so drastically different than the other phones in this lineup.

I went to see the phone in person, it's pretty nice, I like the Titan color, the gold is too light

B&H bootloader

I emailed B&H last week with questions, one concerning bootloader; It took 5 days for an answer but a tech support guy named Adam replied that it was unlocked; I emailed him back, asking if he knew the difference between unlocked sims and bootloader and he replied back and confirmed he did and bootloader was unlocked; This info is likely unreliable but the fact B&H doesn't have a vested interest in carriers and this would give them an edge on sales, we can still have hope. I won't be able to buy one until May when their stock come in though
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Illmatic662:
Wow, it's going to be available on Amazon starting May 1

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DJE22C2...olid=K5RKTG1CO0AE&coliid=I1T763APP0P7E3&psc=1

Guess others will be getting it as well.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jrhlaser:
Amazon now listed for rs988 G5

thanks for info - looks like the only difference is the color, both same price, free shipping - one more reason to hope LG will allow unlocking bootloader - we will now see how serious is their claim to be "developer friendly" from what I'm hearing lately doesn't seem like US models are included for bootloader unlocking but still hoping.

B&H is silver (last 2 letters of model I'm guessing)

Amazon is titan (dark gray)

also check out the lte bands to be sure they are supported by the carrier you intend to use (mostly look good but a few specialty bands aren't there - there is another xda link to that but I can't remember the thread
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Illmatic662:
The good thing about Shipped and Sold by Amazon.com these devices go on sale quick. For example, the Xperia Z5 went on sale at $599.99 and in about two weeks fell to $539.99.

$600 on Sale would be a nice sweet spot for this phone.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffreytz:
You can buy the Titan G5 from B&H, that's what I pre-ordered and it arrived yesterday. I'm using it on AT&T and everything seems to be working fine (no HD Voice, of course, but that's expected when using an unlocked device).
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jrhlaser:
excellent, thanks - so it appears you can get both silver and titan from B&H (probably from Amazon also) Did you see if bootloader was locked (I figured it would be and the salesman who twice told me it was unlocked and that he knew what the bootloader meant, was yanking my chain....

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jrhlaser:
The bootloader question would better be answered by the Guru's as it was first thought that the T-Mobile variant was unlocked but turned out not to actually be truly unlocked - I suspect it will be the same as the T-Mobile version - unlockable but not actually unlocked (If LG gives us the codes) I have sent several emails to LG concerning this and basically told them that, if they are truly "developer friendly" now is the time to prove it.... (diplomatically of course) I fear that the idea of modular phones won't take off if they keep the software locked down and don't follow through with the promises.

No headphones in the box, just the QuickCharge 3.0 charger and cable. What issue are you referring to?

Awe I was expecting headphones oh well. Issues like screen warp,light bleed , and chin alignment.

I would like to report that band 12 is working flawlessly on this phone of course without VOLTE you may get the impaired calling warning if your area has no 3g or 2g to fall back on when you make a phone call, but having data coverage in more areas is more important to me than cell coverage

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] CollinFX45:
Well, when an eBay seller dropped the price of the H860 to $439 shipped, I jumped on that. A US version that likely doesn't work with the Hi-Fi module isn't worth $160 extra to me!

I have recently puchaced this phone in the US to use with my UK sim both in the US and UK. After readind this and having a bit of a pannic i can conferm that all services are working. I did have to input the APN manually and as soon as I did all was fine. I baught the phone from B&H photo. A good website i found was frequency checker on google.

I hope this helps you guys out.

Can you please explain a little bit more I just got my phone a few days ago and I got my new SIM card today I had to get the Nano one since my Samsung Galaxy S5 had the micro and all I get is the h for my data it's sorta of fast but I live out in the country so I'm afraid when I go home later it's not going to work and I really wanted to 4G LTE since I spent basically $650 on an unlocked version of the phone I'm not super familiar with the frequency stuff but I sort of get it but I still need help and this is driving me insane, i also got it from B&H if that helps, and the AT&T people at the store were no help at all...

Has anyone gotten Wi-fi calling to work? Im currently using this on MetroPcs. I have contacted them and they told me it should work. Everytime I go to activate it, the Activate Advanced Calling is greyed out. Can anyone help?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ED2O9:
After reading a lot about this phone and it's functions on Verizon, I thought I should post my experiences with it. First off... it does work with VoLTE. HD voice functions fine and simultaneous voice and data are not a problem. I checked my data speed in the middle of a call via SpeedTest.net , and it was my standard LTE speeds. With that being said, it appears that video calling is disabled. The option is there, but it's grayed out. So, here's the weird part... video calling was disabled as well when I had to reactivate my old G4, and it had always worked perfectly. This leads me to believe that there was something disabled on Verizon's end that affected the line in general. A chat session with tech support ended with a reply that advanced calling wasn't fully functional because it wasn't a Verizon phone and then she suggested that I sell it and buy a phone that has all the features I need. Afterwards, I took it to my local Verizon store and after the CSR had a lengthy discussion with a phone support rep, he came to the conclusion that the phone "should" support video calling and said that the matter had been escalated and a tech support agent would be contacting me with a resolution. That was two days ago.

Aside from the lack of video calling, I also noticed that wifi-calling is completely absent. I rarely use that feature, but it's a bit odd that there's not even a setting for it in the menu. Also, there's no LG FM radio app. According to several sources, the phone has an FM chip but LG opted not to include any software to access it. This really annoys me because I feel it's practically criminal for Verizon to force people to use data when the phone has the ability to play FM music. I thought a factory unlocked phone would surely have a FM option, but again... it's completely missing.

All that aside, I'm really impressed by the phone. It's solid-feeling and is the perfect size for me. I'd heard about issues involving light leaks, spotty GPS and poor build quality, but I'm seeing none of that. It's very fast, reliable and takes amazing pictures (especially wide-angle). The complete lack of Verizon bloatware is a big selling point, as well. I had bought it "like new" and immediately had to send it back to LG for service due to an intermittent SIM card issue. I think the CSR at Verizon who kept fumbling with the card tray may has inserted it upside down and damaged a pin. It took about 2 weeks including shipping, but it was worth the wait and I strongly recommend this phone to anyone who wants the freedom to switch carriers without having to swap phones.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] vinmaga:
wifi calling not available if you have tmobile or metro pcs

I bought the lg g5 rs988, checked wi fi calling capable, it is not true,

because if is not locked with a carrier that option is disabled and lg doesn't enable at all, they said maybe MAYBE in the future.

for the incompetence of few LG customer assistants they wasted my time so I cannot bring back the phone to best buy, over 15 days.

So I need help that option is important for me, and at this point the only options that I thought are download the h830 firmware and install on this phone, and I don't know how to do especially because I don't have the original firmware of rs988 in case something goes wrong, or does anyone know if there is software patch that I can download and install?

Thank you

That's great to hear. I'm in the market for one right now and it's a pretty decent deal at B&H currently. I'm also on Verizon network but just hesitant to purchase after seeing different reports saying simultaneous voice/data works or doesn't work.

Did you have to activate anything for VoLTE to work or go into verizonwireless.com to check?

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] drewfus99:
for those att folks that can't get 4G, here is what I JUST did and it was successful.

my former phone was a lg flex 2 that was 4G compatible.

I had an adapter that let me put the nano sim in the microsim card slot in the G Flex 2.

I called att told them I was switching the new sim card back to my old phone because it wasn't getting 4G on the G5.

the registered the sim card number, and the IMEI of the g flex 2. The g flex 2 then started getting 4G service.

Finished the call, and then moved the sim card BACK to the G5 and boom. 4G working.

woohoo!

I would assume this would work with any 'whitelisted' or ATT branded device.

Good luck y'all!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
I just got the RS988 a few days ago from BH Photo since it was on sale for $399. Removed the SIM card I had in the Note 4 (nano sim) and put it in the RS988. It worked right away, both voice and LTE data, but not both together. I had to go into my Verizon account and add the HD Voice Advanced Calling to the account, then restarted the phone and had the option for HD VoLTE and toggled it on.

Doing all that, now all my calls are using LTE and data works at the same time. But if I go into the phone settings and toggle the HD Voice off, then for voice calls it shows 1X and the calls sound different, and can't do data at the same time.

No option for WiFi calling.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] radbme:
In case anyone else is googling for this like I was a month ago I'll post here that the RS988 Unlocked LG G5 activated flawlessly on Straight Talk Wireless with Verizon towers. At first the rep told me it wouldn't work when I told him it was an unlocked G5. To him unlocked meant GSM. I assured him it was similar to iPhones in that they support all bands of NA carriers. He then asked for the IMEI which he confirmed was compatible. 10 minutes later and a couple reboots the device fired right up. I had to manually select LTE+CDMA or whatever the setting was called (sorry it's no in front of me) to get LTE as it was only showing 3G at the time. Cool phone. Now if only it would get the nougat update...
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] rbowen1s:
I purchased the RS988 just based on price and the fact it looked like it had plenty of compatibilities. Like others on here have stated, it does have issues being on a postpaid service provider. Here is what I found out.

Boost Mobile - Will not allow on network (contacted Boost customer support and no tier could get their system to accept the device)

Sprint - Same as Boost Mobile.

T-Mobile/Metro PCS - Same as Boost Mobile & Sprint

US Cellular - Same as Boost Mobile, Sprint & T-Mobile

(Verizon is not available in my area. Midwest. Literally one of 2 known super dead spots in America)

AT&T/Go Phone - Worked! (after convincing the in-store representative to take a sim card out of a display model and putting it into the RS988)

Issues: It will jump from 4G LTE to HSPA a lot. I changed the network setting from Global to LTE /GSM/UMTS and manually selected the available 4G LTE network in my area. It will try to connect to the 4G as much as possible but when it drops below 2 bars it will automatically jump to HSPA. I have had some call dropping issues with the device, but not since changing the network setting.

I am definitely happy with the device as the price was right ($275, free shipping and no tax) and it actually works. I've had the run around with all of the service providers before as I like to have unlocked phones and refuse to be on postpaid service due to price gouging and contract stipulations. I would absolutely recommend this device to anyone who needs a good device for the right price.

I am currently looking at rooting the device and hoping developers continue to support the G5.
