[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] darkphoenix2012:
I have the Sprint HTC U11, so am I stuck on only Sprint with this phone? The phone is currently rooted, with an unlocked bootloader. Can I pay it off, unlock it, flash another carrier radio/rom/etc and be on a better network, and fully functional using all frequency bands for that carrier? I read somewhere the hardware is the same for Sprint and Unlocked variants, has this been confirmed? I really hope there is a way to take this phone somewhere else, since the only carrier that offers it on installments is unfortunately Sprint. I initially tried to buy the thing through HTC.com using the PayPal finance option, but they did not approve me for whatever reason.

I have never had Sprint until the HTC U11 and if the U11 were offered via carrier installments on ANY other carrier, I still wouldn't have picked Sprint. I thought I knew what to expect from their so called "coverage" but wow was I mistaken. To call their service bad is a profound understatement. I have never hated a cellular carrier so much until now. Not only is their network coverage spotty, slow and ill, when the power goes out, so does the Sprint service, which leaves me completely helpless in a potential emergency situation.

Does the power go out a lot where you live? If the power outage is large scale and being close to a cell tower of course your coverage would be affected, that's no fault of Sprint. been a Sprint customer for over 20 years, but I guess living in the Tri-state area coverage is not an issue for me.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] OMJ:
the Sprint U11 does have the same hardware, but you would need S-OFF (not available yet) to change CID/MID & flash another RUU or firmware, or you could do what schmeggy929 recommended & unlock SIM then use another carriers SIM for service.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] darkphoenix2012:
Storms are frequent here, so yes. However Sprints tower is visible from my house and I get full signal. On Vzw, and Tmo I never had a great signal but when the power went out I'd still be able to use it even with a low signal. Sprint I can't even call 911 during power outages, the signal vanishes and I can't even roam to dial 911... If I sim unlock the phone will it get proper frequency bands for other carriers without flashing firmware and a rom, etc? I figured not having S-off would prevent me from using all the necessary bands, it's been a while since I had to do something like this... I hope we get S-off soon.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] rom116:
I have T-Mobile, they will buy you out of your contract with Sprint. I have brought over several family members from other carriers to T-Mobile and they love it. I would suggest calling T-Mobile and seeing what your options are. Once you unlock the SIM you can use with whatever carrier.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] OMJ:
Sprint may not be too great in your area, but in my area I get great speed and coverage. My work phone is with Verizon, it is no better.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] darkphoenix2012:
If it worked well enough to justify the price I'd keep it. After losing signal in and outdoors in more places than I could count, and after being in several areas where 5 bars of signal resulted in 56k dial up speeds I was irritated. But after talking to customer service yesterday, I'm done with them. 1% within Verizon or hell even Tmobile, it's an absolute lie. If Sprint won't even own up to their own problems with power outages causing service to vanish, then they're never going to improve. CS was rude and insulting repeatedly the last several times too, insisting that their coverage was supreme and I was somehow wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Russ369:
Hi guys, wondering if anyone can help

I bought a new unlocked T-Mobile LG G5 from ebay last week for my wife, after buying it I didn't realize that the unlock code is a software unlock, not a SIM unlock, and that I am not able to flash to the stock LG firmware if I want to keep the unlock on hand.

I was looking at flashing to stock because the battery life is quite poor for a new phone, much worse than my S7 Edge, even though she doesnt do anything crazy on it. Are there any tips or tricks to improve the battery life, its using H83020i_un software with what appears to be the regular/default T-Mobile stock apps...

Any help would be appreciated, either regarding the battery, the unlock, or both. Also, will I get any OTA updates, and if I do will it re-lock the phone? Im in Canada btw

Thanks :)
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Skipjacks:
There is a thread covering all the ins and outs of the 20i_un custom SIM unlock ROM. Everything about locking and updates is thoroughly discussed 1 thread up from this one.

About battery life, that ROM shouldn't be impacting battery life. You should get 4 hours of screen on time (roughly) per charge. If that's not enough to get you through the day, then this isn't the phone for you.

If you aren't getting 4 hours of screen on time, something is wrong. It's not the ROM because the ROM is PROBABLY the stock ROM with 1 small modification for SIM unlock.

Things like Facebook are NOTORIOUS battery drainers so if you run a lot of apps like that, they could be hurting you. Have you looked at your battery stats? Do any apps jump out as taking up a lot of battery? Is it the Android system that's using the battery?

Android's battery stats chart will tell you a lot about what it using your battery. We'd need to know what it is before we could suggest fixes.

Also...be sure to leave the seller negative feedback on eBay. This phone was misrepresented on eBay, even after they were aware if was not factory sealed and had been modified. They lied about how many they had too, saying they were nearly out of stock at least a thousand units ago. That's deceptive advertising. They lied to multiple people about putting that second clear seal over the broken factory seal. And they contacted at least me outside of the eBay message system which is a blatant violation of the eBay terms of service. Even if you keep it, the seller deserves negative feedback.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Russ369:
Yeah I did notice that about the seal when I opened mine.

I noticed the battery drains alot while idling, not sure what could cause that though...
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Skipjacks:
Well...look at the battery stats charge in the settings. It will tell you what's using the battery.

Are you using the Always On Display? If so that's your answer. That chews up battery like crazy at around 0.8% per hour. Conversely I get 0.1% to 0.2% drain per hour on idle with the Always On Display turned off.

I'm also a fan of Greenify for putting the phone into Doze mode after minutes rather than an hour or two like Android does natively. I'm not a huge fan of Greenify as a task killer as that's counterproductive in most cases. Though I do let it kill an annoying persistent Major League Baseball app that I like but that doesn't know when to shut up.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Russ369:
Always on display is off, using greenify, helped a bit, but I notice that most of the battery usage % is "Phone Idleing"
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] hawkintx:
Agree, in the past month or so, my LG G5 battery life has become noticeably worse. The top two battery burners are Android OS and Phone Idle. I've tried multiple hard resets, clearing cache, etc, but nothing seems to help. I haven't shut off the always on display, but it wasn't shut down before. Something has changed recently, maybe in the last update, but the battery life is terrible now. Any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] coreygator:
If youre on 20k update, then I agree. Battery life was fine until 20k update. Now I cant get through lunch. Battery stats is not helpful. Shows no issues.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Skipjacks:
I have had no change in battery life since updating to 20k
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] coreygator:

Do u know how to downgrade?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheBiggestNoob:
Were you ever able to solve the battery problem?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Rukbat:
There are a couple of comments on the previous page that Phone Idle is a large consumer. That happens when you pick the wrong carrier, and the signal is weak most of the places you spend time. When that happens, it's assumed that the phone's signal will be weak at the tower, so the phone transmits at maximum power - and that kills a battery fast. Choose a carrier that has solid green in the battery stats (tap the graph to get to that page, then scroll down). That's the first thing you should do when choosing a carrier - not that they're the only ones carrying this great new phone so far, but that they give you a solid signal where you spend most of your time. And it's exactly what most people don't do (because they're not aware of it). (And the phone matters too - some just have more sensitive receivers than others.)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] blas4me:
This a simple hack, and it can't be patched because it not software or hardware based. All you'll need is some masking tape. and a case for your phone. The adhesive and threading hold some beneficial properties that will block your phone from sending data usage reports, so your provider can't keep track of your data usage. Even if you have unlimited, your provider will still throttle you once you've hit the data cap, 10 to 20GB, then you'll get 3G service. With this hack you'll never reach that cap. Take a strip of masking tape and fold it over 2 to 3 times and then place in the back of your phone case, that's it. You may need to cut out a piece for your camera, but that's it. I haven't used wifi for about two weeks, and it seems I haven't even used a Gigabyte yet.

[MENTION=7386384]Akhil_dev[/MENTION] just a question on a possible feature request, would you think it would be possible to have an option for screen brightness adjusted via fingerprint gestures? And one small thing which I think would be a easy ui fix would be renaming the gestures settings menu option for Moto gestures into something like some other ROMs have like Moto actions, that would get rid of the duplicate gestures entry in the settings.......
