[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ascent:
Update: us cellular us996 activated on verizon just fine.

Just going to list the exact sequence of events even though they are probably not important

I turned it on with the us cellular sim in it for a while and let it update software, connect to their network. My theory behind this was that us cellular auto unlocks *some* devices on their network if they dont have issues like in my previous post.

Took to verizon. Rep scanned the imei and it would not accept it.

Took sim from my old phone and inserted into lg. Turned on and it fully connected to verizon and updated on their side.

The rep was shocked. Did the sim card right after he gave me the cdma gsm speech.

Phone has been working great. No complaints.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] alphawd:
I'm on Total Wireless which uses Verizon's network. But voice calling for Verizon MVNOs is all still on the CDMA network, not LTE. I'm interested in the US996 from B&H which is now down to $349.99.

Looking at the specs for the US996, it says "CDMA 1.9 GHz CDMA PCS/800 MHz CDMA"

http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US996-Unlocked-v20-titan

According to the Frequency Check link posted earlier in this thread, the US996 supports CDMA bands 0 (800) and 1 (1900). Frequency Check also states that Verizon uses CDMA bands 0 and 1, and that the US996 will work on those bands.

https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...s996-v20-lte-a/verizon-wireless-united-states

Everywhere else I look says that Verizon uses bands 0 and 1 but specifies 850 MHz for band 0. For example, here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_Wireless#Radio_frequency_summary

According to this link, CDMA band 0 includes 850 MHz.

http://niviuk.free.fr/cdma_band.php#CDMA_CHAN_0

So...is this just a quirk of labeling where sometimes a CDMA band 0 radio is called 800 and other times it's called 850? I'm really hoping the US996 is usable on Total Wireless for voice calling.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] alphawd:
I went ahead and bought the US996, and can report that it works fine on Total Wireless. But, I returned it because there were a few too many things about the phone that annoyed me. Oh well.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] whicker99:
What annoyed you? thinking about activating a V20 on Total Wireless.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] clemdaddy:
Way way way back in 2016 :), papashex asked whether this phone will work on AT&T. I'm sure by now papashex has resolved his question, but for others browsing through this thread looking for an answer here it is.

I have the factory unlocked US996 and more or less have no issues on AT&T. The only issue (which I think is a general weak antenna this phone has - I've seen people complain about this elsewhere) is this weak antenna exacerbates my already weak signal at my house. Many times, the phone doesn't even ring and the call goes straight to voicemail. My wife with her iPhone in the same bad reception house has no issues.

My main issue/question which I recently just noticed is that I apparently am stuck on firmware US99610d! I've been eagerly waiting for Oreo - constantly checking for firmware updates until it dawn on me that I haven't received ANY updates at all.

Is this because I don't have a US Cellular sim in the phone?! I even tried to update to the latest firmware using LG bridge and bridge said my "OS is up to date" but it still listed a new version available. It also said to instead use my phone to do the OTA update.

Anyone else with a similar "factory unlocked and not running on US Cellular network" getting firmware updates?

thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] websiteperson:
Just in case anyone is planning on buying this phone, be aware that it is not officially compatible with US Cellular, and apparently is no longer supported by Verizon, either.

I had this phone on Verizon previously (2017). I got it specifically because it had a removable battery & IR blaster.

I decided to switch to US Cellular. When trying to activate it in the store, the sales rep said it wasn't in the list, but he decided to try putting in a SIM card anyway.

No surprise to me, it worked. It supports all the CDMA bands needed & even GSM if needed.

My opinion is they're putting the final nail in the coffin for phones with removable batteries.

This is one of the last phones with a removable battery, as far as I know.

There's really no reason for it not to be supported, except they don't get to sell you an $800 phone every 2 years after your battery finally loses it's capacity.

Anyway, don't bother trying to activate it online. Go into a store (bleh, I know) & have them try putting in a SIM card.

I have been thinking of going back to Verizon with this phone, but when I checked the IMEI #, it said it was no longer supported on their network. If I decide to go back, I will try in store.

? ?

P.S. - When troubleshooting slow data issues recently, the tech said to be aware that my phone may no longer be supported in the future.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcaston2:
Hello,

I have a Moto X Play which is in great condition, I use a case and a screen protector.

Today I went for a walk and grabbed my phone which I hadn't touched in awhile. Once I got outside I realized it wouldn't turn on no matter what I did. Strange, maybe I left an app on.

I get home, plug it in, and it's at 75%. I play with it a bit and put it back in my pocket.

A few minutes later, I can't get the screen on again. I figure, I'll plug it in, reboot it to clear the glitch, it's all good.

It just won't light up.

I can locate it, it's updating its location, I can call it, it vibrates, it responds to buttons (but not the screen) Nothing seems to be wrong with it other than the screen.

I've tried everything to do a reboot, I've plugged in the short circuit usb dongle thing that usually puts an android device right into debug mode. I think it is rebooting but no screen action.

I have the latest OS for the device (whatever the not-so-new one is) and I am unrooted, locked, whatever I haven't messed with anything like that.

What can or should I do? I am just recently out of the 1 year warrantee.

Thank you,

-Phil

Hold down your power and volume down buttons until it turns back up(night take some time) into the bootloader screen and try to factory reset it.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcaston2:
I've tried this, so far no luck. A bit of an update:

I brought it to a shop, they gave it a light twist and the screen came back fine and was in the setup wizard (as I had remotely reset it). They said the display port may have plugged back in, gave it back free of charge. By the time i got back home it was off again. I brought it back in to have them open it and reattach it for real. This didn't help. They tried attaching a brand new screen, same issue. The screen doesn't light up for reboots, not for factory reset, nothing. I am guessing this is an issue on the motherboard but the fact that a light twist "fixes" the issue suggests to me a light soldering could solve the issue. The repair shop gave it back to me as unfixable but I don't want to give up on it yet. I did have an opportunity to get a Nexus 5 in good shape for 140$ so I did that for now. This gives me time to mess with the Moto X Play. Any ideas?

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy55:
Ive been having the same issue with my x play, so try this out. turn it on, and have a look at the screen under a bright light, see if you can make out anyting. The backlight might not be coming on, but the screen will still 'turn on' so to speak, you can still make out whats on the display, touch input works etc. I have an issue with the display connector, with a bit of pressure it will work then not work, almost as if the backlight shorts out. it took me awhile to find out that that was the problem. as for a fix, if its the same problem I'm having, then you'd probably need a new mainboard. I've tried everything, new screen, new battery, swapping covers etc.. I have 2 x plays to tinker with and swap out parts.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcaston2:
I've tried using my new phone's flashlight to illuminate the screen with no success (though I will try again tonight, I'm not 100% sure it's on). Looks like mainboard run somewhere around 120$ before the repair cost, seems like it's not worth it. I'll post back after I double-check to see if the screen is there or not.

If it's shorting, I would think it could be fixed with some careful soldering? I do know that when I turn my phone on (remember it's been hard reset and has no SIM card) it vibrates every few minutes, I have no idea why. That's the only odd behavior it's been experiencing aside from the display not showing up.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcaston2:
I tried to look for any sign of the screen showing up by using string light and I didn't see anything that might suggest anything is showing up.

Hello,

been a while since Iv'e been here.

I flashed the latest full RUU - Sprint_HTC_One_M9_3.41.651.21_RUU, lost root and TWRP recovery. I can get into bootloader, download and stock recovery.

Tried latest twrp image rename 0pjaimg.zip on SD from download (22RU_HEADER_ERROR, FAIL22 RU_HEADER_ERROR) and recovery modes (E:footer is wrong, E:signature verification failed) - no work. Tried within ADB, no work. tried sideload su. APK, no work.

Am I missing something? I must be, any help appreciated.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justicesourglide:
Hey,

Very strange query but here goes. Rooted phone a while back and installed CM13 along with recovery. Was trying to update TWRP{ by downloading .img from their website, went to flashing, selected the file and hit recovery. Said it was succesful so attempted to reboot. Plugged in to charge and was charging but when I tried to switch it on, it was stuck in Cyanogen Bootloop (blue alien stayed on the screen for 10+ minutes). Tried rebooting to recovery by hitting power + volume down and instead of booting to TWRP, it takes me to a Cyanogen recovery screen where I see the following options:

Cyanogen Recovery.

- Reboot system now

- Apply update

- - -apply from ADB

- - -choose from emulated

- Factory reset

- - -system reset

- - -full factory reset

- - -wipe cache

- Advanced

- - -reboot recovery

- - -reboot to bootloader

- - -Wipe system partition

- - -view recovery logs

Here's what I tried as troubleshooting. Tried to do a system reset, factory reset and wiped cache and tried to restart my phone but no luck. Still stuck in boot loop with CM logo. Tried to reboot to bootloader but the screen is stuck with the 1+ logo for about 5 mins so gave up on that.

Basically, right now I can't access anything on the phone, can't find any way to reinstall a ROM and when I plug it into my Macbook, it is not recognised. So I'm screwed sideways. I had TWRP recovery set up so I have no clue how this happened but can anyone please help me with this.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr_DjEnder:
If data isn't at risk try the Qualcomm recovery tool one the oneplus forum it's by nammand bhal (definitely butchered the name) but all data is lost and resets the phone to out of box conditions locked bootloader and Oos 2.2.1 so this is often a last measure (tool is Windows but may have Mac variant and the file is quite big)

My suggestion is to try to boot to bootloader again and flash TWRP

hmm mac book I don't have much experience with those

If you have a Windows pc you can use adb or on Mac if it has it. Also when it come to being found by a computer in recovery it should but again don't have a mac
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJay27:
CM13 replaced your TWRP recovery with Cyanogen Recovery.

Try to boot into fastboot by holding volume up+ power buttons. If successfull, flash TWRP Recovery, boot into it, wipe everything and do a clean install of the ROM.

Macbook won't detect your device unless it is booted up, in recovery or in fastboot mode.

Doesn't it detect while you are in CM Recovery??

Try selecting Apply Update and Update from ADB. It should detect the device atleast now. If yes, try sideloading.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justicesourglide:
I knew I would regret getting that macbook at some point :p

Borrowed a friend's PC and was able to flash TWRP recovery. Was then able to boot into it and do a clean install. Ended up installing Oxygen OS this time. Do you know why this issue occurred so I can research how to prevent it next time.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJay27:
Actually I don't think the issue was with the Macbook since I have unlocked, flashed custom recoveries and sideloaded ROMs on several devices including OP2, OP3, Nexus 5, etc on mine. It might have been some accidental flashing error, which unfortunately ended up bricking your device.
