About Battery>> Remember that a) you will be dealing with a phone with IPS screen instead of AMOLED (this has a huge impact on the battery). b)the amount of apps that you have (specially those that requires to sync in the background are often part of the issue of battery drainage (my v20 used to last up to 7+ or 8+ with screen on with just about 7 user apps and the rest system apps, now i have 85 user apps + the system apps which make my phone last about 5+ hours screen on). On the other hand, The Doze mode of this phone is INSANE!!!! OUTSTANDING! With screen off your phone can easily last a day or even two (if you like to listen to music with pandora or Spotify >>> it will still last a lot with screen off).

About Camera Lens>> This is just an opinion but im starting to believe that the camera lens sensitivity is just to a small percent of the stock. Believe me when i tell you that i have throw my phone so hard to the wall (by accident) and with that kind of pressure (even with the poetic revolution cover) it should have made the glass of the camera crack (not to mention my phone has fell a lot). On the other hand, do not remove the plastic it comes with , just to be safe.

About Performance>> The phone is fast but just like any other phone, regardless of the processor, or the amount of ram, it has its limits. Thus, at the beginning i had a blazing fast LG V20. But put 85 user apps inside any phone and see how this will change lol. IT still fast. But every once in a while i experience a little lag. But that is just when i have only 500+mb left of ram. ( how can i know my ram quickly? OvrDrive Rom has the ram bar)

About Camera>> The camera does become slower when you are at very dark environments. But many report, including me, that using manual mode and adjusting it to your liking will make it very fast. I believe the issue is the automatic mode. Although sometimes for me the automatic mode in the dark works great. Also, some people report their photos looking like water paint (it does happen to me only with the wide angle camera. Not very often, but it does)

Now, if you are looking for developments and all that, this phone seems to be going in the right direction. We pretty much have root for every variant, we have some custom stock roms, and also we have LineageOS, Resurrection Remix, and AOKP among others so far for almost every variants.

SHAMELESS PLUG, to remind everyone that not everyone has 800$ to throw at a phone upfront.

I was in your boat. I had my eyes dead set on the US996.

Did my research and ended up on the H918.

Look at the ROM development, it's flooded with H918 support.

Will the US996 pick up traction and have as much support as the H918? Who knows.

I even wanted the dual sim, but that isn't even rooted if my memory serves correctly.

Regardless, this phone is stellar.

WETA rom has an US996 version, which I'd definitely recommend. I have my eyes on Max Overdrive, NATF and Resurrection remix, but after flashing WETA, i wouldn't change a thing.

Best of luck to you, m9.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ewingr:
Thanks for the best luck wishes.

I am seeing more dev for the 996. I am hopeful that I'll be happy with it stock. Although, I really want Root, so I may give in.

One thing for sure, it is confusing having all various models in the same forums, and most folks don't indicate which model they are on.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jinkerz9430:
Yeah i would say that Max ovrdrive and Weta are the 2 most stable ones regarding stock roms. Have you tried to talk with OvrDrive ? The h918 and US996 are pretty much alike in all the aspects except some frequencies added to the us996. Maybe you can be a tester for the us996 version. But yeah, first try the phone for a while without any root until the 14 days or possibly some more days are over. If you decide to keep it, then you can jump into the v20's board lol . By the way, you said that you rather a fatter phone? I have seen some battery replacements from third party brands such as zero lemon (which is usually a great brand that produces great batteries) their batteries have way more mah than the original battery from the v20. But it comes with a cost that you might get along with them. It requires to put a very fat case to the phone. I personally dont like it but if you dont care about how fat it looks then you coupd go for it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ewingr:
I didn't personally talk to Overdrive, but it was asked in his thread of his ROM would work on the 996, and his reply was he would not be supporting it as he does not have one. I too have noticed that ROMs are working on more than one model.

I'll wait and see how the stock battery works out before I go try a fatter one. I'm hoping to stay in the Seido case and belt clip I had already purchased.

Good news/Bad news

Bad news first...but not that bad

I won't have the phone in hand until late Thursday, instead of today

Now the great news

I'll have a brand new phone instead of open big phone, and will sane $175.

I went to Phandroid a bit ago and they announced a sale of the V20 at B&H for $499.99. I had paid $675 for the open box. I called B&H to see if they would refund the difference. Nope. Buy the sale phone and return the open box phone.

Fine with me ?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jinkerz9430:
my v20's price was practically speaking $331 dollars Brand new sealed :P . Because of the promotion of the $200 off and the earphone of $149 plus an extra earphone ($149) sent to me from the defective lg v20 returned. I think im going to finish of paying by the 27 of this month :P
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrPhant0m:
tl;dr version: If I see a US996 for sale that says it "only works with US Cellular" do I take the seller's word for it, or do I know better that the US996 is unlocked for all carriers if you have the right SIM card?

"I've got time" version:

I too am considering a journey from a Note 4 to a US996.

I'm on Verizon, and I just dropped my Note 4 Dev Edition (not that the DE means anything now that the BL unlock was released), cracking the LCD and rendering the digitizer useless. A new(ish) Note 4 is around $200... so I wouldn't bother replacing the screen on my otherwise well-used phone. PS... The phone was in a case, in a belt holster (Spigen Slim Armor / Seidio respectively) and a tempered glass screen protector. ugh.

If it wasn't obvious from my owning a Developer Edition phone... I like to have an unlocked bootloader and root. I had CM13 installed on the Note 4 because TouchWiz was so far behind in a lot of ways. So, I'm considering a V20. I'd rather spend a little more and get a phone that has a SUPPORTED BL unlock method. The Verizon V20 version can be BL unlocked via a hack with a debug bootloader, but it's irreversible and that may lead to issues with being painted into a corner. Enter the US996.

So, I started researching the V20, making sure that there was stable bootloader unlock method, the dev base for ROMs is strong, the reviews are good, etc... and I came across some sales that say that the phone is ONLY for US Cellular. Is this true? The US996 is the unlocked version, correct?

I tried to navigate LG's and USC's websites to get a model number and some info... but I'm not seeing it. Could US Cellular have somehow SIM-locked the phone so that only USC's SIMs work in it? Or... does the seller just not know any better, or wants to play it safe by saying it will only work with the carrier listed?

Thanks for the help! Also... anyone switching from the Note 4, please let me know what you miss. I use my stylus a lot for drawing or annotating on pictures and screenshots... so I think it will be the hardest thing to give up if I go to a V20 or other stylus-less phone.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ewingr:
I'm not sure what to say. Can you link the one you are looking at? I think by only work with US Cellular, they MAY (I don't know) mean a U.S. Carrier, ie. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile, as opposed to the company US Celluar.

One thing you need to be aware of for the US996...the only way, right now, that it can be bootloader unlocked is by going to a LG site to get an unlock code from them. At that point it will lose warranty. Due to that, I'll be holding off on unlocking for a while. At least, that is my current plan.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] evo4g63t:
Only thing I miss is the stylus going from the note 3 to the v10.

Though I suppose I don't miss the stylus that much since I jumped from the v10 to v20 instead of going back to the note series.

I would love to see lg put some effort into it and make a stylus based top end model instead of putting a stylus version as a middle model. I was hoping the v series would feature a stylus and the g series be a non stylus version but alas it hasn't happened.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jinkerz9430:
But i think that LG is trying not to copy other brands such as samsung. For this reason they should limit the amount of resemblance between the features of each phone. Thus, there are just a handful of LG's with stylus in comparison to the note series . After all i doubt LG wants to experience the same thing that happened with samsung been sued by apple, and then apple been sued back by samsung (quite a hilarious story though lol) but if i had a company such as LG, i would definitely not want to even put a step in court for a battle that can easily last more than a month of constant interventions and proofs and etc... and could easily cost me 100+ or 200+ millions. In a lg v20 , i believe the stylus is not a necessity (Even for people that would love to have stylus for the v series). On the other hand, one could buy one of this or similars:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1xTouch-Scr...485550?hash=item33c8e075ee:g:0RkAAOSwIgNXmXla

and see if there is an application that resembles what one can do with the note's stylus. you will definitely wont find one that will be exactly the same. But maybe similar and who knows maybe better. ;)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ewingr:
I've been thinking a bit. I know I saw in a thread somewhere about the US996 being the same model for the Unlocked and for a carrier (don't recall if it was US Cellular). I think the key is 'Unlocked'. Maybe you should put your question in it's own post. May bet more input, from someone who knows for sure.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrPhant0m:
Thanks for the replies. Take a look at this auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/381960164377

The seller says they are an authorized US Cellular reseller… so it seems they'd know. And I doubt that they'd distort the truth about the phone being unlocked just to keep USC customers. So maybe there are US996s out there that are locked to USC. It doesn't make sense that there'd be a carrier-locked version of the US996 sold by LG… so maybe USC is locking them. Perhaps I'll ask the seller.

I ended up ordering a "like new" note 4 for $200 before I found out that B&H was selling the US996 for $300 off retail, and now I've missed that deal. So hopefully this Note4 really is in new condition and it will serve long enough for me to try out a V20 while the price drops again somewhere else.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrPhant0m:
Update… this is the response I got from the seller:

What do you all think?

Surely someone has or can get the Official ROM for The Doogee T5s Note it's T5s not T5 nor T5 Lite.

It's Processor is MTK6735 not MTK6753. I need the ROM with the Scatter file. If you have a Custom Recovery TWRP/CWP that would be helpful too. :D

[General Questions and Answers] rrm.:
Replacement stock ROM: use the T5 lite stock ROM

UPDATE:

Previously described to have successfully flashed TWRP 3.0.3 from needrom, with root powers, allowing for housekeeping of the original ROM.

I now inform you to have successfully flashed the T5 Lite stock rom (the UPDATE) into the T5S.

The ROM is apparently fully functional: RadioFM, front camera, back camera, WiFi, SIMs. I have not found any non-functioning feature.

I have tried to flash in a custom ROM, but until now I have been unsuccessful. While flashing the ROM with TWRP I get a 255 error. I'm thinking I need TWRP 3.1 or 3.2 to flash the custom ROMs I have. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a TWRP 3.2 for the DOOGEE T5 lite/T5S.

I'll keep you all posted.

[General Questions and Answers] vogtuh:
Doogee T5S rooten

After some time consuming experiments, I finally got my T5S rooted.

The main point after installing TWRP, througth fastboot or SP-Flash tool is:

1st: Booting immediatly into the recovery mode (prevents the operating system to switch to the original recovery app)

2nd: installing Super-SU before booting in the system (I my case it prevents the boot-loop. I think a must!)

When you finally restarted successfully the operating system, deactivate the APP "Aktualisierung mit Funknetz" (in englisch I think something like "OTA WiFi upgrade") , which seems to be reason for the malware. I my case, since I did it, no pop ad's appeared! (since 3weeks)

Remark:

As the T5S has the some CPU as T5light you can flash this firmware as well. I did it with the SP-tool but with same problem of poping up of unwished AD's, i.e. you have to root to put the above mention APP in deactivat mode (I did it with the app: 3C System Tuner Pro).
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Symbian:

As can clearly be seen, if your connection is NAT’ed, your only choice is WMA (which, incidentally, uses 32 kbps 44 kHz mono (!) sound in the 40 kbps, that is, GPRS setting). This will work on Windows Mobile but, currently, not on Symbian.

All in all, Orb is a decent choice if you have a faster (for example, EDGE or the even faster 3G, assuming you aren’t afraid of the huge battery usage of the latter) connection and/or a non-NAT’ed environment. In these cases, its technical inferiority (the lack of SHOUTcast stream support and, most importantly, the lack of HE-AAC v2 – that is, the only high-quality streaming format for GPRS connections) won’t cause you problems. Finally, it has pretty nice Sirius and XM support. See THIS for more info on the latter.

Let me, however, reiterate its disadvantages again:

if you try to listen to radio stations at GPRS speeds (meaning streams with 32 kbps bitrates max), it’s, audio quality-wise definitely a suboptimal solution and should only be used when you absolutely need to use it – for example, because you prefer its GUI to those of the other players. Why would you want to prefer mono WMA streaming with a lot of compression artifacts when, with other transcoders, you can have excellent, stereo HE-AAC v2 streams without compression artifacts - at the same bitrate? and/or

if you have Symbian (not WM) and a NAT’ed connection (ruling out everything – remember, in a NAT’ed environment, with Orb, you could only rely on WMA, but it’s not supported by the system and CorePlayer’s current version has very buggy streaming support),

you will definitely want to take a look at the SHOUTcast / Icecast2-based alternatives; most importantly, Oddsock.org’s excellent apps.

Note that I’m pushing the Orb folks to add Icecast2-based HE-AAC v2 and MP3 stream support. See THIS thread for more info.

XM and Sirius

SKY.FM, DI.FM

Note that, while the old "High quality" option under 3GP, had a separate checkbox to switch to AAC(-LC); the new, 2beta version has a separate, top-level radio button for this mode. That is, don't let you be mislead by THIS, THIS, THIS and THIS threads, which still refer to the old approach.

Alright so I know I have a boot loop problem on this kindle fire hdx 7" but I don't know what's it doing when I connect from oem usb cable to pc. It shoes kindle fire grey'd out on screen and the screen pulses on and off forever. When I put it on a charger it goes to the normal boot loop of of the colored Kindle fire logo animation. The battery is completely shot as well because it's bulging from a battery leak. But am I not able to use the tablet from just being connected to the pc without the battery? I have multiple battery alternatives of testing before my replacement arrives on Tuesday. I'll probably put some 18650s in there so I could test if I can get out of boot loop. The cells are 3.7v, 2500mah which I think should be fine for testing purposes. I just want to know if this is a normal problems that the screen pulses on and off with a grey'd out logo because I haven't seen this problem on the forums. I'll link the videos to the boot loop problems and the grey'd logo connected to pc

Hi all,

My questions will be regarding flashing a G930P to G930U (which I have already done on my phone) and its frequencies while using it for T-Mobile.

I know the the G930P, G930U, and G930T all have varying frequencies but my main question is: what happens after flashing to a different firmware (carrier/no-carrier)? Do the frequencies change also or is it hardware based? So why would I think anything other than it being hardware based? ---I just read a post somewhere far on a distant forum on the internet where someone mentioned that some new phones have the ability to change and adapt to frequencies based on the firmware.... now is this true or is this complete BS? (I would share the link to the post but I might have been surfing incognito mode last night as I can't find the link in my browser history...)
