Device boot stucked

Not working in Lenovo a6020a40 Snapdragon 616 chipset got stucked in bootloop
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Reem13:
Working on Lenovo A6020a46 2GB Qualcom snapdragon 616 variant.

Experienced some heating, but issue resolved by disabling automatic sync in Settings.

Weird bugs in 5.1 resolved (sudden "residue" sound bug, apps opening by themselves).

Wifi icon does show up as "active" (bold text but no specific wifi name listed) while wifi itself is turned off.

Better RAM, better performance. (p.s. I do disable/uninstall most apps I don't use + close apps when done).

Video in Youtube sometimes starts off as a black screen with sound but rewinding usually solves that.

The only "issue" I faced was that I can't send and receive sim text messages in Arabic with the default Lenovo app (messages are shown in app and sent as empty). Other apps can show Arabic UI language without problems (tried a Coran and a Prayer times app, text showed up fine).

Switched to the Google messaging though and it worked! Hope this helps someone :)

Thanks for the update!

A year later than everyone else...

Just upgraded by restoring Boot and System partitons from the backup, without erasing Data. The first boot took more than half an hour at "Android is Starting... Optimizing App x of xxx" and a ton of app updates were waiting after that, and more optimizing at the next boot. Apps and preferences seemed all preserved. Xposed installed smoothly, unlike in Lolipop stock rom. All working, abeit with some adjustments (playlists, file/folder bookmarks, etc.) due to the new paths for internal storage and sdcard.

The model number was mysteriously changed to A6020l36. It doesn't affect anything, though.

The only problem I have is the volume adjustment sound. It beeps even when there's music playing or alarm is ringing, headphone is plugged in or out. The alarm now starts oddly, <bird chirping quietly><beep><chirping a bit louder><beep><louder><beep> etc.

IIRC it didn't beep at all in Lolipop. Can't find any way to mute it. >_>

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] NinjaZX6R:
Hi Folks,

I thought I had found a gold-mine here in the United States in the H870DS because it has the quad-DAC and the bands look to be compatible with AT&T and T-mobile. The seller listed band 2 LTE and sadly, according to the box, it is not supported and this is one of AT&T's main bands in my area in California. It still has band 12/17, so, I figured I'd be okay. I cannot for the life of me get it to connect to any LTE though. I've checked and re-checked the APN settings, the network settings (4G preferred) and am out of ideas. Does anyone have this phone and have you successfully gotten it to connect to LTE in the United States? I don't have a T-mobile SIM anymore to try.

-Collin-
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] autoprime:
I believe AT&T SIMs have issues with LTE on non-AT&T devices until the device IMEI is added into their system.

I am not an AT&T user so I forget the specifics but people often have to call in and have the device IMEI added to their account.. or sometimes this happens automatically after a few hours.

What bands are listed on the box? The thread on XDA listing all the bands shows your model as having B2 LTE (Possible the thread is not correct though) https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/how-to/info-lg-g6-models-bands-t3571221
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] 50ShadesOfBacon:
I have searched some of the AT&T user forums, it is because different areas have different coverage and certain bands are not licensed properly, so you might not get any LTE signals. I do not know if that is true. But my G6 sure does not have LTE whatsoever.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] NinjaZX6R:
Thanks for the replies guys. Well, I managed to pick up Band 4 when I walked down the street. I still cannot get 17/12 which is weird because it's the primary LTE band for AT&T. The bummer is that now that I know LTE is working, I can 100% confirm that LTE Band 2 is missing. The eBay listings are wrong and the XDA listing is wrong. I've attached a photo of the box. Oh well :(

-Collin-
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] anl2304:
I was interested in picking up an 870DS unit myself. I noticed the discrepancy when it comes to band 2. That had me worried, so I did not pick it up. The 870 DS box shows that band 2 is missing. I have to assume that is correct, so I did not buy.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] R_Fated_Circle:
Sorry to hear that i was thinking of picking up the Korean version myself but if I can't get reliable LTE on att no thanks. I wonder if you could return it to the seller since its technically false advertisement
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] UnoriginalUsername:
Well this is unfortunate. I just got mine from Ebay today and was wondering why I couldn't get an LTE signal. The seller did list Band 2 so I'm hoping they will refund my purchase or there is a way to edit the radio.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] inquisitor:
Sorry for the off-topic question but could anyone tell if the H870DS would support 3G simultaneously on both radios (or 4G on one and 3G on the other simultaneously)? If so it would be worth mentioning here as well.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ckmShih:
I am using T-Mobile SIM at SIM 1 and my home country carrier's SIM at SIM2.

It is getting LTE at SIM 1 and UMTS (roaming at AT&T network) at SIM 2.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] solver404:
Fi (T-mobile) is working perfectly for me, full LTE. Cricket (At&t) is hspa+ but no LTE.

For the price I am not unhappy even though I usually use cricket as my primary data sim. It's not what I expected but I knew going in I was shooting craps as there just wasn't a ton of information out for this H870DS variant. It's not a huge upgrade over 3t, just needed to switch it up for a while. I am quite enjoying the screen, camera, and HiFi dac without losing my 2 sim setup.

Edit: Sim one does have full LTE while Sim 2 does not.

The references definitely need to show that there is no B2, B17, or B30 for ATT users though, pretty much a let down there.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] NinjaZX6R:
I actually got Band 4 to connect on AT&T, but it's pretty sparse and not reliable. I switched that line over to T-Mobile and it works perfectly just as you describe.

I like the phone a lot more than I thought I would. It feels so solidly constructed and the camera I really missed from the V20. I prefer this camera to the one on my S8 9 times out of 10. It's a hair slower to focus, but everything else is better for me.

What's odd is that on AT&T Band 12 is supposed to be compatible with Band 17. On T-Mobile, I connect to Band 12 just fine, but not on Cricket. Oh well, my Cricket line has been canceled anyhow :)

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pocketfox:
I'm in San Francisco and unable to get LTE on AT&T or T-Mobile on the H870DS. These LTE bands are listed on the box: 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 20, 26, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41.

Hi there,

I'm in new Mexico on a at&t go phone plan and on a h870ds.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] inquisitor:
Does the LG G6 actually reveal the used channel and so the frequency band?

On many Android phones this information will show up after dialing *#*#4636#*#* and tapping "Phone Information" - on the very bottom of this screen you will find a list of available cells including their channel number (called EARFCN for LTE/4G, UARFCN for UMTS/3G and ARFCN for GSM/2G). You can then lookup to which frequency band the EARFCN/UARFCN/ARFCN belongs, e.g. at http://niviuk.free.fr/lte_band.php

Take a look at the 'LTE Discovery' app. The free version will probably have what you need.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] uid_0:
I can confirm the lack of LTE on T-Mobile in Southern California as well. Very odd as others are reporting success getting LTE on TMO in other geographic locations. :crying::confused:
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kurtbird:
Doesn't seem odd at all considering that according to frequencycheck.com, some key bands are missing:

T-Mobile LTE Bands

B2 (1900 PCS)

B4 (1700/2100 AWS 1)

B12 (700 ac)

B66

ATT LTE Bands

B2 (1900 PCS)

B4 (1700/2100 AWS 1)

B17 (700 bc)

B30 (2300 WCS)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] uid_0:
As noted on the box as well as other first hand accounts, the H870DS does support both B4 and B12 required for T-Mobile. My G3 and my wife's previous 860N both connect(ed) with B4.

On top of this, I now have a solution to the problem via updating the APN settings. The magic change was simply adding ”xcap” to the APN Type setting and setting the Network Mode for SIM1 to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto radio button.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kurtbird:
It's possible that if you're in an area where only T-Mobile B2 or ATT B30 is available then you wouldn't have LTE.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] UnoriginalUsername:
Was finally able to get 4G LTE in AZ on Band 4. Create a new APN with these settings and make sure network is GSM/CDMA/LTE Auto.

Edit: Also, I had AT&T update their system with the IMEI number of this 870DS that I'm using. That might have something to do with it. It took a couple of weeks too.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Adrift98:
How were you able to change your MNC? Every time I try it deletes the APN. Also, what did you tell AT&T when you had them update your IMEI number? I wonder if that would work for me on Cricket.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] UnoriginalUsername:
I honestly can't remember if I entered that value or if it defaulted to it. Are you going to options>create new apn?

And when I was talking to AT&T they weren't able to select my IMEI as a 4g Technology, only GSM, so they said they would need to add it to their database. It's a different group from tech support and it required them to communicate internally to do it.

Update: Haven't had an LTE signal since I first got it to work the other day in that specific part of town. The band I'm missing on the 870DS appears to be the most prevalent in my area :(
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Adrift98:
Ah, ok. Thanks. Reading up a bit, it looks like the MCN may be tied to the SIM, and if the value is changed from whatever is defaulted, it will automatically clear the entire APN. And yes, I was going to options/creating new APN.

Having AT&T add your particular IMEI may be particular to AT&T itself. I can't find any info about Cricket doing anything like that, even though they're a subsidiary. All we have to do on Cricket is insert any previously used Cricket SIM, and we're good. So that probably doesn't have much to do with getting LTE (at least, not for me).

Your update makes sense. I too was able to get, I believe, Band 5 . . . once. Pretty certain that 17 is the primary band for AT&T/Cricket, and without that we won't see it most of the time. I've been debating about whether I want to jump over to T-Mobile/MetroPCS, but I was on MetroPCS a few years ago, and looking at T-Mobile's latest maps they don't look like they've really updated their LTE range in my area much, yet. Really sucks. :(

Oh well.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] uid_0:
One hiccup that my wife has noticed is that if you switch the SIM assigned to data (in her case to send/receive MMS on SIM2) the first SIM will revert to 3G and you have to go back into the Preferred Network Mode menu and reselect the GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto radio button.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] inquisitor:
Are you guys aware of the field test menu for the LG G6 where you can not only see the current frequency band but also channel bandwidth and other relevant stuff?

Just dial *#546368#*870# (for other LG models replace 870 by the 3-digit model number)

select Field Test

Modem Settings

Engineering Mode

Tap "Next" until the screen "ITEM_LTE 1 : 0" or "ITEM_LTE 2 : 0" depending on whether SIM 1 or SIM 2 is currently selected for data (see below screenshot).

Read LTE band number and carrier bandwidth in the "Band/BW" line.

If there is carrier aggregation available (so a second frequency band for capacity increase) you will find information about that second carrier by tapping "Down" to screen "ITEM_LTE 1 : 1" or "ITEM_LTE 2:1" respectively. Carrier aggregation is also indicated by "4G+" above the signal bars.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mkjonhston:
so, what's the conclusion - does it do dual 4G/3G in the same time or not?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] John_Saller:
It should do. When I receive mine on Tuesday, I'll let you know for sure.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] inquisitor:
It definitely does and has been confirmed on this thread before. Just see the screenshot in my last post (3 above this one) where SIM1 was on 4G while SIM2 was on 3G.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Adrift98:
This is interesting, but it doesn't really help any if your carrier doesn't provide the right LTE band in your area, correct? I'm on Cricket, which is primarily band 17 (AT&T's default band). When I use this menu it tells me that:

Model Pref : Not Supported Mode

Band/BW : NA/NA

I have a 870ds in France. I'm getting 4G+ in some places (Paris but not everywhere) and 4G in others where I used to have 4G+ with former phones. So I can't figure out if it's the other

other ones.

Why use AT&t sim?

Hey guys, I've missed the boat for years apparently... on this but what is the upside of running at&t sims in tmobile phones better speeds/quality from AT&T? or some savings or features on the tmobile phone? Easier to unlock or root? thx for a primer.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] _mfm_:
Can you check what bands are actually used for 4G+?

Because in the list of band combinations for H870DS on lg.com/tw no combinations that use band 20 are listed. So some combinations used in Europe are supported (like 3+7) but not all if the list for the TW version is a complete listing of all.

It would be interesting to see if you can get 4G+ with the combinations 3+20, 7+20, 3+7+20 with H870DS and Taiwan firmware because those combinations are not listed. Also Free is using the uncommon (in Europe) band 28 which is used in Taiwan as well so that is supported for that reason. Same reason 4G+ works in Australia, because band 28 is used there too.

In any case, one can not draw the conclusion that "4G+ works in France" just because it worked for some user somewhere, all combinations must be tested before any conclusion can be made.

Help...what to do?

Guys...I just bought a lg g6 870ds on eBay...hoping it would fully function on ATT here in South Florida. Could you extend any wisdom? Should I return the phone because it may get some LTE bands?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pepeanto:
Hello,

I have been facing a similar issue buying an LG G6 from Verizon and trying to use it in ATT. It was a nightmare for some days since I was only geting HSPDA working but not LTE (well, each time it booted remained as LTE for 30 secs and then switched to H). However after trying different tgings I got it working.

1) As some people mention here you need to talk to someone from ATT and match the IMEI with a correct device profile on their end

2) You need to play with the network modes and cycle through Global/LTE CDMA/LTE GSM UTMS and inside then inside the other sib-settings

3) Select automatically register to network operators

4) And believe it or not, I think the most important thing at least for me is to disable HD Calling.

After all that I got LTE mode to stay always connected in my phone
