I got a slightly used G6 which is now one of the best phones i have ever owned. No doubt about it. There is just one gripe that i have is that i always use custom fonts and the ones on LG smartworld are terrible. I have the 873 so rooting is not on the cards but if anyone suggests a way to install custom fonts i am ready to help buy an application if needed. Please help

Hello ... I'm a total noob with cell phones, I don't use one much. Things like bootloader unlocked custom ROMs I don't understand. I have this phone and I'm curious if I could have it set up without Google? I mean I don't want Google of any kind, no Google stuff at all is this possible? thanks
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MDW 100:
You mean make it a feature phone?

It's possible, but without the play store and a web browser your experience will be severely hindered. I'd use ADB commands to remove the apps, but I have no idea how the phone would handle having the rug pulled from under its feet... I'm just warning you that's all - wouldn't you be better off with an iPhone or something as you're apparently not the tinkering - or Google - kind of person? I hope this answer doesn't come off as aggressive or anything... Just my thoughts for ya ?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Dude905:
Thanks for your input I do appreciate but iphone isn't in my budget I don't believe and I would have to sell this as well. I like this phone but I don't like Google. I don't care even if I don't have apps. Just as long as it can be used for phone calls. I don't even care if the camera works. And I'm sure many are probably thinking why did I even buy it in the first place, the price was too good to be true ... And it wasn't from any phone company plan deal. So if I'm reading you correctly it is possible to have it without Google, Yes? thanks

No OK GOOGLE

I bought a new in sealed box G6 / US997 carrier unlocked.

"OK GOOGLE" will not stay on.

I turn on ACCESS WITH VOICE MATCH, say my 4 "ok google" voice samples, hit the FINISH button and it goes back to the previous screen and the on button is off again.

I've tried clearing data in the GOOGLE app, the GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES app and the GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES FOR QUICK APPS app and the restarting phone. I've tried setting up all of the voice settings first, but all this leads to no joy.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christoophat:
Which model to get?

I've owned an LG G3 for a couple years now, and really enjoyed using it. Was fairly easy to root (already came unlocked being the d851 variant), and build quality was solid.

My phone is also my portable music collection, used every day in the car via BT, and at night with headphones.

In pursuit of "better" I bought a ZTE Axon7 phone with a AMOLED screen, nice DAC, stereo speakers, and a Snappy 820 cpu. Rooting it was harder, and different bootloaders, modems, ROMs, etc made a lot more of a hassle to maintain.

Stared to look around for another phone (I'm on TMo) when I came across the G6 and realized that it ticks all of my boxes.

My question: Which model is the most "root friendly" and works w/ TMo? I see the H872 is the dedicated tmo variant, also US997, etc
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christoophat:
uhh...the quad DAC is only available in Korean model? :confused:
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MDW 100:
That is correct. No idea why since people pay top dollar for this phone anyway, and mine hasn't even got wireless charging!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christoophat:
Actually the US997U model is a US unlocked version available here in the US w/ the DAC & 128GB, around $500. Not sure if it include Qi , but would guess probably not.

The older 821 SOC is more than I will ever need in a phone.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MDW 100:
Oh, sorry, I was mistaken!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
The us997 model does have wireless charging, unlockable bootloader with fastboot commands and a fair few custom roms to boot too. The EU version (H870) is the same but only 32gb model no quad fax and no wireless charging. My advice is if you want an easy root process and in us then but the us997, the H872 uses a hack and puts twrp on the download partition so going back stock currently is impossible. Plus less rom choice.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] BenBBenB:
Same question here.

The G6 seems to have the following chipset QCA6174A (I do not remember, where I found this info - so any verification or correction is welcome!).

And this chipset should support Bluetooth LE (see manufacturer info):

https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/qca6174a-product-brief.pdf

It seems as if the QCA6174A chipset is capable of Ant+ support (similar to the QCA6174 for which it is confirmed here: https://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/hardware/ref-devices-ant-hardware-t2879990).

Does anybody know if it is possible to enable Ant+ on this device?

Or what to do to create a bug/mod to enable this? Or where to look for more detailed infos?

Thanks,

Ben
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] darek1995:
You can't "enable or disable" BLE function manually.

The phone automatically can detect if you using an another BT device which also supports BLE.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pizza_pablo:
Not having VoLTE / Advanced Calling is deal breaker, for me.

ROMs don't have it. I flashed 17a in TWRP and the phone still doesn't have VoLTE.

Can I flash just the modems, in fastboot?

If I go back to the whole official firmware from the LG Developer's web site, do I flash it with fastboot or LGUP?

I may have to just sell this 3 week old G6...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] darek1995:
You mean .kdz files? Yeah, you have to flash with LGUP/UPPERCUT.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pizza_pablo:
Yes. That's what I mean.

I'm still not used to the LG terminology.

I am used to flashing "official firmware" in "fastboot".

Thanks, for confirming!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pizza_pablo:
OK, so, to cure my loss of LTE when a call connects, I decided to KDZ back to Nougat 15a. I started it up and setup as new, so I could quickly test VoLTE. HD calling functioned properly.

Soon after, it wanted to update to 17a. I figured, why not....

As soon as I got it up and running on 17a, after reset, no VoLTE joy. WTH?!

Can anyone tell me why this is?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pizza_pablo:
I am really stumped!

I KDZ back to 15a.

I check to see if Advanced Calling works. It does. LTE is maintained when in a call.

I install Eliminator74's TWRP and Magisk, BAM Advanced calling no longer works.

Service is Verizon.

Why is this happening?

There's I difference in model numbers and the way they behave when you attempt certain things. The h872 can be a pain to get root but I do believe the 870 is easier don't have it though. Probably isn't listed because everybody is dumping the h872

LG G6 HELP red sensor next to front camera is always on idk why

Hello all!

Yesterday I was 9gagging in my bed, and I noticed that little led started constantly lighting. Tried 2-3x to reboot but nothing happened, after the startup it started to light again... https://imgur.com/a/m4FK9lC You can see it in the picture.

Other question:

My screen rotation is also bugged. Tried to fix that with those reboots, but again nothing happened. I can not rotate my phone. (Only youtube fullscreen rotates the image, anything else stays horizontal)

Maybe its time for a ROM? The system starting to fall apart, had numerous random reboots etc. But I am afraid that with the ROM, a I will have a lot of other problems, like bluetooth and wifi not working together, camera is gonna be ****ty without LG's app.

What should i do?

Software for H872 Variant

I am rather new to the rooting and moding world for Androids, I have completed the action with several phones before, but with this LG G6, there seems to be so much differing information out there.

What I am wanting to do, is to put the software for either the US997 or the VS998 on to my T-Mobile G6 H872. I don't know if it is possible to do, if there are any hardware issues that would prevent the flash, or is it as simple as software preventing the use on other carriers.

I want to do this, because I left T-Mobile, due to lack of service where I live, and was assured by both them and my new Verizon sales person that my G6 could be used on the VZW network. I have found this is not accurate.

Is what I am wanting to do possible? Will it work?

LG US997 Amazon

So today I was trying to get rid of the annoying vzw gibberish text messages every time I get a voicemail. That's all I get, no VM notification in the notification area. Found it was linked to Verizon (imagine that) so I figure since I'm on Straight Talk I would go in and add the Straight Talk APN since I realized I hadn't done that yet. The only option is "restore default settings" there is no Add Apn option. What can I do? Any help is greatly appreciated.

LG G6 Amazon - US997
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] darek1995:
Because don't do that. Basically, it's a stupid idea tbh.

As far as i know, the H872 is more sensitive for SF things, sometimes a basic downgrade (oreo->nougat) can do a hardbrick for that model, because of the anti-rollback, so it would be really risky for flashing a completely different ROM for that device. There is HW differences as well, not just SF.

Btw, if you'll don't get a hardbrick, i'm sure your system will not even boot up, it's impossible.

I have an EU H870 with V20g-EUR-xx version 8.0.0 (from Settings-->About Phone-->Software Info)

I have many apps already installed with data

I want to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, install custom ROM, install Magisk (for root), restore my user apps+data

I realise that unlocking the bootloader will wipe out my user data (factory reset) so how do I backup all the apps+data beforehand and then restore them at the end? I had an LG G4 before and unlocked the bootloader when I first got it (second-hand already out of warranty) but this G6 was quite new so didn't want to unlock straightaway. I have used Titanium Backup on G4 but it won't work on G6 as I don't have root yet so I seem to be in a loop here (need backup before root, need root to backup).

I have also heard of issues with TWRP and re-encryption issues preventing TWRP restoring TWRP backups.

Can someone help with a definitive list of instructions, listing other G6 guides is OK. I have searched the G6 Guides section and G6 Q&A section but couldn't find the full story.

I am just so lost at the moment and don't want to lose my data. I know my pictures/music are OK as I can copy them from the internal storage to an SD card and copy them back.

As this was a fairly new second hand phone when I bought it I thought I wouldn't unlock it straight away to keep the warranty just in case. I am not sure if that was such a wise move now.

Those're nothing compared to LG's tons of bloatwares.

You'll be fine with it, i don't have personal experience with the US997 model, but I'm as much familiar with the G6 (H870) to say that you can flash kdz files anytime if you need.
