[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] waylo:
If it was SIM unlocked using normal means (the T-Mobile app), it will remain that way through whatever Android upgrades you do.

I have heard that going to another service, such as MetroPCS, might relock the SIM.

Legitimate efs unlock, no

Illegitimate os unlock yes.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] poog:
Is this OS unlock method publicly available?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] pedro1977:
No i don't believe there is.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] poog:
What's interesting is that..... the T-Mobile G5 is rootable but not self-unlockable. But the Sprint G5 is not rootable (with nougat and beyond)........but has a publicly shared available self-unlock method at the OS level. (on the XDA Sprint LG G5 pages)

Hopefully this apparently private H830 OS-level unlock method is shared in the near future.

I'm currently using the TMO version here in the Philippines which is sim unlocked coz I can use my simcard on this device. And There's a Device Unlock app also but I'm afraid to open it coz maybe it might locked again the device. :eek:

I have another question, If I downgrade to V20A coz I want to unlock my BL and Flash roms, I will not lose the sim unlocked right? Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] waylo:
What does it list as your current firmware version?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] cheeze.keyk:
When I bought the device an update appears and I already updated it to H83020k.

EDIT: Okay, So I checked the Device Unlock app and click the Permanent Unlock menu though my device is already unlocked. Message says my device in not eligible for permanent unlock and I checked the device's IMEI on TMO's website and it says that it has an Outstanding balance. lol

Will it affect my future software updates or if I downgrade my device? Although its already unlocked since I can use my sim here in the Philippines.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] pedro1977:
I'm aware of other unlocks but not for this one. The sprint variant isn't the same as the tmobile one, the unlocking method is different.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] waylo:
It sounds like (not definite) that your phone was unlocked using an official method. So any changes to the ROM, or firmware, should not affect the unlock. Since you recently took the official 20k upgrade, then you probably will be fine if you downgrade, etc.

That unlock app will check the current state of the phone's IMEI. Since it's not linked to a T-Mobile account (anymore? ever?), it will say it's not eligible for a permanent unlock regardless of its current state. That T-Mobile IMEI check is not completely reliable either--I found it actually switches its response based on what SIM is put in.

I just accomplished root on my device. I purchased the phone from Buyspree through Ebay. I just have to figure out how to get rid of the T-Mobile Logo during boot-up. Do you still need instructions on how to get your phone working. And do you still need root privileges? I haven't done a write up before, but I can give it a try. It's all downhill once you get TWRP installed.

Hey I have a T-Mobile G5 that I want to unlock. I wants use the app because am not in the States. Any help is appreciated guys and thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] teknokill:
Does any body know how to get the phone to ask for the unlock code it you get a lock code from a company on-line? I need that last step in order to enter the number. I have already installed the T-Mobile Unlock App through Titanium Backup. In case I need that app in the future I made a back-up.

Okay. Just this morning a pop up message just appear on my screen saying your temporary netowork unlock on TMO has expired and after rebooting the device it says.

This device can be remotely unlocked if eligible. Please use the "Device Unlock" application to unlock the device.

[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] universeisgr8:
Wondering why no one has been able to find a work around to unlock tmobile phones that require the unlock app. Afterall its just some code embedded in their software that locks and unlocks the phone. Or these box makers dont need to find a way so they can make more money?

LG G5 (830)

I purchased in US an overstock T-mobile LG G5 (830) which supposed to be unlocked, but it`s not. The unlock application says "not eligible for unlock". I contacted the T-mob support and they said - the IMEI is not listed in their database. Also they asked for account, which is associated with the phone. Does somebody know, what this account is supposed to be?

I came across some 3rd party unlock services , including listed previously in this topic, but the price is 120-140$ (crazy!!!). Maybe something changed recently and the procedure became more complicated, therefore the price grew.... Besides, I am outside US and there is no sense to return the device back. confused...
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Goraz1o:
Hello everyone.

I bought phone with SIM lock. T-Mobile support answered that cannot unlock my phone because of outstanding balance. Only the owner should write them or I can contact some "3d party people" for help. Any1 knows who can help to unlock phone with outstanding balance?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] patato21:
There seems to be some sample, demo, or test editions of the LG G5 floating around. I've seen they mostly come from T-Mobile and show they're manufactured in February-May of 2015 (typical G5s are from June-October 2015). Their battery modules might also be tightly sealed and won't open. This has also happened with the LG V10 and G4 to my knowledge. What happens is that T-Mobile doesn't have them in their IMEI database and can often times not work on their network at all even though they have a clean IMEI, and can't ever be unlocked. If a phone you bought has an outstanding balance, I think you can ask to pay it yourself and you'll typically only pay 1-20 dollars for it, as they'll say it has no resale value. If it is too high, reject the offer and ask for a refund from the original buyer. These also might not come with the correct stock firmware, so you get no OTA, no unlock app, and are stuck with the factory version 10c or something. You can check your IMEI on: http://imeipro.info/check_lg.html If you get something back like sample, demo, or test then your phone will most likely not be unlockable, and you will be lucky if you can activate it at all. It's a hit or miss, sometimes they work with a T-Mobile or T-Mobile MVNO out of the box, sometimes they don't. You can try to contact T-Mobile in that case and ask them to escalate your case, and keep on insisting. If it won't unlock through the app and was sold as unlocked, T-Mobile will ignore you because you are not the original customer or are a customer with them.

I think there's hope, I have started seeing remote unlocking via teamviewer floating around on eBay for $30. so it seems someone found a way. am finally ready to buy one of those since it's cheaper. Anyone here with experience on these teamviewer unlock process ? Am kinda terrified with letting a stranger access my pc.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] pedro1977:
Anything involving someone remotely accessing your PC is most likely a scam, I would stay well clear.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Chinyig:
I tried one seller who had a good rating (200+) he managed to unlock using teamviewer and some other tools.

As precaution I used a pc with no important files, did twrp backup and internal SD moved it safely to another computer wiped my phone(removed my personal files, system, data, boot) and never moved away from the computer during the all operations. After unlock I wiped my phone again and restored my twrp backup (data,system,boot). I hope this helps another one like me. It was $34.9 BTW.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Nikka93:
I'm a Samsung user from Note 1 and all the display AMOLED suffers the burn in , expecially on the status bar ( clock , signal level , battery... )

Why Samsung doesn't enable the Immersive mode? :confused:

Could we send to Samsung some advices? ( It worked for microSD :P )

I have frinds using the sgs1. No burn in what do ever. I used an s4 for over a yr and no burn in
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] anonymouswallaby:
I never noticed this issue and all my phones have been amoled
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] J.Biden:
I also have the Note 1, and it does have "burn-in" where the statusbar is. By having a black statusbar or static black areas, the black pixels are OFF, which means that those pixels won't be used as much as the rest of them that are lit. This means that the pixels that have been off for most of the time, are brighter than the other ones that have been actively used for a long period of time, and the "background" of the statusbar will then be brighter than the rest of the display when they're active.

Lollipop removed that black statusbar at the homescreen, and a lot of apps today have a colored statusbar, which means that that area is active, so the pixels will age at the same pace, avoiding "burn in". So you'll actually risk getting "burn ins" if you use a black theme for a longer period of time. A lot of people complain that Samsung doesn't use on-screen navigation, but there's a reason. On-screen navigation requires a black bar at the bottom of the screen, which again, means that those pixels will be in-active for most of the time, causing burn-in at the bottom of the screen. They avoid that by using hardware buttons instead.

I don't see it as a problem if you just use the phone as intended, and if I notice any burn in like two years from now, it won't be any issue, since I'll probably move to a different phone by then. Also, keep in mind that AMOLED tech is always evolving, and there have been massive changes in quality since the first Note, so don't compare the panels of the Note 1 with the S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Nikka93:
My last phone was a Note3 and... yes after 2year he was having burn in guys... when you use facebook or whatsapp the status bar becomes black and the icon of battery signal and other symbols got stucked....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] luckstar53:
if you use phone with %100 brightness and 10 hours a day. You have more chance for burn in. Dont use with full brightness. I'm student and i worked at samsung techhnical service. Mostly demo devices has burn in because they works weeks/months with %100 brightness.

Sorry for my english :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] J.Biden:
It's actually the other way around :p It's the black area around the battery and other icons that is brighter due to the black pixels being a lot more in-active than the surrounding pixels that are lit. The brightness of the active pixels gets weaker over time, so the black pixels that are in-active in longer periods of time won't have been used as much, so they're brighter than the other ones that have been active the whole time.

I think most people here get it by now, but I just want to point it out in a more obvious way, so I won't repeat this again in this thread, lol.

"Burn-in" is also technically the wrong thing to call it since there isn't any burn-in at all, but yeah :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Nikka93:
call it as you like but imho is a problem... also use an app in immersive mode is more better...! I don't need to see time o signal when i'm on facebook!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] J.Biden:
...

That's what I'm telling you. There's no disagreement here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] krico:
Same, S2, S3, and S4. No burn-in whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] VICosPhi:
I had slight burn in one one of my S's S2 or S3 I think but nothing major. However, I just checked out a store model S7 edge which literally had burn-in or as the poster above pointed out "pixel brightness level difference". It was so bad and obvious, I would not have bought that phone for one third of its retail price.

Not understanding how immersive mode would help. The screen is still lit with colors. And Samsung does use immersive mode on certain apps, I just used Samsung Pay and saw it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groston:
This annoying notification has appeared in the past, but I have always been able to dismiss it. Now, nothing I have tried has worked:

Allowed automatic updates and clicked 'Update now'

Uninstall updates

Restore from Titanium Backup

Forced Stop various applications

My phone is on the Sprint network. The OS is version 5.0.1, the phone is rooted, but stock ROM. The current voicemail is version T.6.0.1.22.

Can you please help me either a) figure out how to get the latest version to install (note that I have disabled quite a few of the built in apps, but I do not believe this is the reason for the app's not updating) or b) how to make the notification go away.

Thank you.

Apologies if this has been posted somewhere and I haven't looked hard enough to find it.

Title pretty much sums it up but I was wondering if there was a way to change the stock emojis to ones either exactly or very similar to the iOS ones? Most of my friends and family are sheep so it would just be more convenient if I could use the same ones as they are to avoid confusion (plus I'm not too keen on the stock android emojis myself!). Like it said in the title I don't want to root due to losing the ability of NFC on phone payment.

Any help is much appreciated :D

System wide? Probably not possible without root. Some texting apps can change the emoji in their apps. Textra does for sure.

Anyway, you can have root and Android Pay.
