[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faizalotai:
Looking forward for V20,

Own att G4 with 506 serial and so far so good for my daily usage...even with my front camera have focusing issue but i'm not a selfie person.

Feel sorry for those who had bootloop issue with their device
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sea-Wolf:
I love the G4 but my confidence in it is basically shot. I've had it about nine months and it has had to go back for warranty repairs three times. Twice for screen issues and once for bootlooping. Add to that my non-carrier H815T is still on the January security patch, which is crazy. It's disappointing because my two previous phones (Nexus 5 and Nexus 4) were both also LG devices and were really good. But now every time my G4 has the slightest bump, stuff that I would normally just ignore as a quirk, I find myself sweating that it's about to start bootlooping again or get some other crazy hardware issue.

I'm going to wait and see what the new Nexus device is like when it's released in a few weeks. If that doesn't tickle my fancy then I'll have a serious look at a Samsung Galaxy S7.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meakii:
Got a Oneplus 3 on the way. Going to sell my G4 SN 506 EU H815 even though it has had zero issues and in brief been a fantastic device. Just can't really gamble on it not developing bootloop. Plus OP3 has fingerprint scanner, excellent development and just generally a very well rounded device.:good:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerF81:

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrystalTM:
My actually device is the LG G4, it's a good Smartphone, but I think the G3 was a bit better, it was easier to root and flash then the G4, the design from the G3 is so much better.

My next device is: LG V20, G5 or Nexus 6p

Sorry for my ****ing **** English :D
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linasj:
Though I'm pretty happy with my LG G4, having heard of all these bootloop and other issues, I probably won't be getting another LG device. From a design point of view, the G5 does not appeal to me one bit. Pretty much the same goes for the V20.

Having used a few smartphones now, I began to lean more towards stock Android, so probably a new Nexus device is on the horizon for me. OnePlus might be an option as well.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imarcel99:
My boat with LG G4 has sailed. I enjoyed this device and now I have given it away.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivan16198:
I purchased the G4 on October 2015 and got the bootloop on December: so I sent it for repair before the holidays and they replaced the motherboard (IMEI and SN untouched), then I got it back on January. After this episode I've never had a single problem with this phone, I really love it, but at the same time I'm really disappointed about how LG (at least here in Italy) supports it (just a security patch after 8 months, when other phones get regular patches every month). Also, I red about many G4s that bootlooped again even if they were repaired the first time and now some V10s and G5s do the same thing too, so I'm a little bit afraid that bootloop might happen again. Patience, but I don't think my next phone will be another LG, I'm going to get an HTC (my One S was a really good phone and today for basic stuff is still OK) or an ASUS (I recently bought for my mum a Zenfone and it's fantastic) in the future. I usually change my phone every 3-4 years, so I have much time to think about this. :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueli2:
I love stability and camera quality in phones.

When I came back to Android I tied a few till I get at G4.

Loved Huawei Mate S and OnePlus 2.

But camera it's all G4, so ill stick with it till I get a better one.

For me it's only one bad thing about this phone, its the screen resolution - no point higher than FHD for a 5.5 screen and battery suffer cause of LG choice.

Rest I'm loving it.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixelBurst:
I love my G4 and it's going to do me for the next year or so, but I detest LG's design choices. People like CodeworkX maintaining the CM13 branch for this device is the only reason its usable for me, and with CM13 it's a great phone. I think I'll be going Nexus (Pixel?) when I'm due for upgrade, just because I like the stock Android experience more but would like to be able to use things like Android Pay.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan268:
Moving forward it'll be either Pixel (Nexus) or HTC only for me. Samsung may get some consideration depending on how the developer community is moving forward, I do know they're moving towards locking things down with knox
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toybxb:
I will stay whit my G4, when the bootloop problem appers (it will), i will send to LG and after receiving the phone, will stay with it for another year ! I allways changed my phone after 2 years, so, my next phone will be one from this year, maybe a G5, i dont know.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel4653:
Ive had a G5, S7, Nexus 6P, and 1+3. All where great devices expect the G5. Design is horrible and the software on it seemed incomplete in my opinion. Even the stock wallpapers were very blah. Anyways I'm back on the G4 for financial reasons but the phone is a solid option. I installed CM on it and it's smoother than stock software.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesparado:
I really like the G4. It has a great design, great camera removable battery and expanable storage however have a couple of issues:

1. For me an unlockable bootloader is important and unfortunately my G4 variant is not unlockable. Had I known they'd only unlock the european ones I never would have bought it. I like tinkering with my phone and getting it exactly as I like. This is a ridiculous move and has really pissed me off. I pay for it I should be able to load whatever I want onto it especially given people with other variants can do exactly that.

2. The volume through the headphones is absolutely crap. It's so low I've taken to carrying my old ipod classic around again.

3. Although I've had no issues with it so far I'm always conscious of the bootloop issue.

I'll prob go for nexus/pixel or something else unlockable with a good dev community.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadavis08:
I just want a phone I can replace batteries in. That's all. And I'm stuck with LG I guess. Lg V20 doesn't look to bad. Lol
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thETImo:
After a few LG phones, I just don't know which one will be my next phone. G4 seems to be the end of the line that began with G2, G5 and G6 being as ugly looking as an average Sammy nowadays. Luckily my G4 is having a second life now after being unlocked and running Nougat. It's hands down the best phone I've used so far.

I guess my next phone has not come out of factory yet. It might be a OnePlus or something else. Or something running Sailfish? :eek:

Edit: Or maybe just the Nokia 8/Edge?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ali Mirza:
LG G6 I can't wait for! LG is only my favourite after I left overrated Samsung, After getting the G6, get a wireless charge capable powerbank , no more wired charging on the go, Since the LG G5 is snappy due to the SD 820 processor, can't wait for the even smoother LG UX 6.0 SD821 equipped LG G6, Galaxy S8 rumours still bore me, The best rumour of the G6 was the bigger display at 5.7 inch.

Hi everyone,

I have an hw6515a I bought on eBay, it was sold as "Unlocked", but when I received it, it was locked.

The problem is that I have the unlock code but cannot put it in. The phone has 7 tries on the SIMLOCK.

Does anyone know or can explain how to reset the SIMLOCK counter?

Ive hard reset the phone. I loaded Spanish ROM v1.29, downloaded to 1.1 and the SIMLOCK is still on 7 tries.

Thanks

Simlock counter solution...

Hi all again,

After messing around very much with my iPAQ, downgrading the rom to version 1.06(English), back up to 1.29 (spanish), down to 1.24(English), and vice versa. I was not able to make the simlock counter reset (go back to 0).

I was very blue, because I bought 3 iPaq (two hw6515 and one 6315), the others were for my cousin and his brother-in-law. :(

The solution was very simple:

1.- I bought a sim unlock code on eBay ($us 15), and just in case bought from another seller (Both sellers gave me the exact unlock code). Anyway my phone company wanted to charge me $us 110 for each phone. :mad:

2.- Without the sim card in the phone I deactivated the auto power off and made the LCD light turn off after 5 mins when plugged to AC.

3.- I left my sim hard in the iPaq overnight and plugged to the charger.

4.- Left the phone on all night.

When I woke up early in the morning, the OK/Accept button was activated.

I put in the unlock code and.... walaaaa :D

Now will do the same to the other.

I hope this can help others with the same problem.

Cheerssss :cool:

A little confusion

Hi Kelas,

I bugged Cingular/ATT to the point where they have issued me an unlock code. I, at some point, had gotten a warranty replacement unit from cingular. So when I put a t-mobile card in, it right away said, tried 5 times, wait for timeout.

Anyways, my question is regarding your method. Between steps 2 & 3, you let the phone die, right?
[Beetles] chauhn21:
put a foreign sim card in your phone and turn on the phone. when the it power all the way up with the screen where it ask for enter code but you can't click on OK button. JUST leave it overnight with charger plug in just in case yur battery goes down and the ok button should be appear again.
[Beetles] hakunamatata:
Thanks a lot for the info. I will try it out as soon as I can get hold of a non-ATT SIM card.

Asked "SUPER EASY" .. To see who knows something

(From Spain) I have a 6915 (in Spanish) Movistar company, recently released, and they want to send to a business partner in France.

I wanted to do two things, unlock, and change the ROM to the French.

I asked the unlock code for about € 25, and took to get there, I proceed with the ROM and flasee, with a French Orange ROM.

The result was a perfect change of the French language.

I have reached the code. And now they have sold the code is not valid. Get the message (in french) code rejected.

Questions:

Could it be that by changing the ROM now is not the same code that unlocked when it was in Spanish?

How many attempts have before lock? (I stopped and took 2)

How flash, it resets the number of attempts to unlock?

That's it ... To see if there is any expert to help

And pardon my English ...:mad:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_OZONE:
This is just a thought I had and I was wondering if there should be any concern.

Where are fingerprints stored on the Galaxy S7 Edge? I assume they are managed and stored by Knox. But, if the phone has been rooted, Knox is permanently disabled even after returning to stock.

Does tripped knox mean the the security of saved fingerprints is compromised?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_OZONE:
By the way, according to google's website for Nexus devices (https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6300638?hl=en), rooting does not compromise fingerprint security on Nexus devices. I hope this is the same for Samsung devices?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kzyw:
I deleted all services knox with Titanium and everything is ok in the footprint
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_OZONE:
I know that the scanner works after root. But my concern is whether a hacker or virus could potentially access the stored fingerprint once Knox is tripped, due to the lack of that security layer? Because I know Knox is the secure environment that stores sensitive data.

3. Need calendar sometimes I installed Calendar Fit.

4. Need access to files, transfer pictures, music, ringtones, video and even texts from phone to Fit2 I have installed Filesmaster Watch.

It plays all media files and can open bigger text files . Extreamly usefull watchface.

Actually, you need a few watchfaces to do more then only track the time. I got about 20 watchfaces now :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattx32:
Hello all,

I have an Intermec CN51 running Android 4.2.2 that had its digitizer replaced because the touch screen wasn't functioning correctly.

After replacing it, it appeared it's not the digitizer but the OS that's the problem, it wouldn't respond to touches lower than just above the buttons in the bottom, which was also the initial problem.

After having tried factory reset, OS updates and some calibration tools from the app store all of which didn't work, I managed to find a way to sort of fix it. By rooting the device and editing this file: /sys/touch_calib/x_y_min_max

Its original content were these values:

433,216 3636,3823

And I found by changing it to 433,416 3636,3823 it now responds in the area it didn't before. I noticed that the values affect the calibration in this order from left to right: left, down, right, top.

However, it still has minor deviations and I guess it's because the values are simply not correct. Now my question is, what exactly are these values and what should they be at?

I know they basically determine the area in which touches are allowed, the display has a resolution of 480x800 but I can't figure out the relation between that and the values.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xy7el:
If I'm wearing my neckbuds and someone calls me with my phone in my pocket, I am prone to adding other people to the call and hanging up, due to the display not turning off, ever. Toggling the bluetooth function inside the call enables earpiece and turns on the proximity sensor again, and turning on speakerphone creates the same situation as with bluetooth enabled.

I've tried multiple apps to resolve this issue, among them "Llama", which configured correctly will turn off the display every time I pick up the phone and bluetooth is enabled. However this turns it off even if I'm actively using the phone and also requires me to unlock the phone via my security pattern due to a third-party app turning off the screen (versus my usual fingerprint unlock).

"On Call Proximity" would've done the trick, had it only worked on my model.

I've tried so many different dialer apps I don't have count of them, and those that do have a replacement for the in-caller look like crap and has pretty limited functionality.
