That's what mobile site states charges would be. I guess since this 200 off deal came out wait time is incredible for calls or chat. So I wl accept all three and call after the 13th
[General Questions and Answers] davekaz:
Update. Spoke to rep and no charges except fees 2.15 will be taken out if no data used. I will be accepting all 3 :!)

is there a dialer app similar to stocl or android 7 that i can download and replace the stock dialer with? i hope it would eliminate the annoying "call again?" screen.

What kind of coverage issues are you having? I unlocked my LG X Charge, but even with correct APN settings or searching for available networks (then selecting T-Mobile), I can temporarily connect to LTE, but eventually it goes down to 2G and stays there. Is this what you're experiencing?
[General Questions and Answers] falconae:
I don't drop down to 2G in my area only 3G. In the city center I can get LTE fairly stable. But where I spend most of my time it toggles between 3&4G

Not all apps are capable of writing to sd card. Its not an issue with the phone in this case but an issue with the development of the app in question. You must contact the app developer and see if they are willing to make it writable to sd card.

Im pretty sure the update is what unlocks the bootloader. Thats probably why it wasn't working correctly. Thanks for trying tho.
[General Questions and Answers] davekaz:
Are you talking about that unlock apk. Sounds crazy. Is that how you unlocked your bootloader? If so then you can Odin twrp and root it
[General Questions and Answers] Ostrichman:
I believe Odin is for Samsung devices, LGUP Flash Tool is for LG. I have not seen a thread showing how to unlock the bootloader on a LG X Charge, or root. I haven't seen either for the LG X Power 2.

Anyone been able to put the phone into Fastboot? I tried the following, but wasn't able to get into recovery mode. Didn't try for very long.

Press and hold the Volume Down + Power button together for a couple of seconds. When the LG logo is pops release the Power key, keep holding the Volume Down and after 2 seconds hold down one more time the Power button. As soon as the Factory Mode appears let go of both keys.

[General Questions and Answers] davekaz:
Never had LG. Samsung for the most part. Motorola before that. Guess whoever unlocked meant from xfinity not bootloader. Thanks for the information about LGUP. I'm expecting it Friday. Do you like it or does it act like a low end phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Ostrichman:
I'd say the phone is good enough. I wouldn't put it in the cheap category, just a basic phone. It's missing some premium items like wireless charging, but the battery life is amazing. I have not installed apps on the device yet, so the load is low but I went through the day yesterday and was down to 98% after about 15 hours of light use. Calls seems just fine. My wife (iPhone 7 on xfinity) said there was a "shadow call" once, but no issues since then. I turned the xfinity wifi connect off on my phone. 5.5" is nice and my eyes can't tell the difference between it and the iPhone 7. The launchers and OS seem smooth and the bloat is kept to a minimum, so that's nice. Had to format my SD card when I put it in, not sure why. Perhaps I had it locked to my old phone, I can't remember. I miss the cyanogenmod tweaks, but the phone will do.
[General Questions and Answers] DanHutchins:
It is a low end phone so dont expect it to be comparable to a samsung s7 or any other flagship device. With that said it is a very good phone for $180. It really comes down to personal preference. Just because i enjoy it doesnt mean the next guy or girl will. The good thing is you have 30 days to test it out and if you dont like it send it back. I haven't seen a post anywhere that says anything about having the bootloader unlocked.
[General Questions and Answers] 643121:

Not sure it would work, not comfortable testing since this is my daily driver. You could test it out if you are comfortable with a potential brick but without a stock rom from lg i dont think its a very good idea.

Don't test if no option for recovery. I do remember older models based on K7 that had factory reset/hard recovery by pressing vol/pow buttons. I used it to recover three k7 based models. Not sure if this phone has the same.
[General Questions and Answers] Dishe:
Are you talking about moving apps to the SD card to recover space on your internal storage? That died with Marshmallow. Android 6+ ditched that in favor of "adoptable storage". Adoptable is cool because it sort of extends your internal storage onto the SD card, making it one big storage space. It decides internally what data will exist on the extended part of versus what would benefit from existing on the faster internal chip, but they get treated together as one large space. Catch is that the SD needs to be formatted properly as adoptable storage and then it can't be taken out and used anywhere else without a reformat. I was most excited about this when it came out because it finally did away the annoying way earlier versions of Android dealt with moving apps to storage card (part of it could be moved, sometimes just the libraries or application data while the executable needed to stay on internal, so you'd still run out of space). Now that is no longer an issue.

Some manufacturers have tried to disable it however. Selling phones with smaller amounts of storage was supposed to feel " low end", and adoptable storage essentially did away with worrying about how much internal storage is left. So they removed it from the settings. However, in some cases you can format the card via ADB commands and it will still work! I did this with a cheap ZTE phone that had only 8gb storage. I put a cheap 16gb card in and formatted it using commands found online via adb shell, and the internal storage reported 24gb and I could install anything and everything I wanted.

I have a Cricket X Charge, I can check when my wife comes home with it to see if they bothered removing adoptable storage. But even if they did, you can prob still do it without root or anything too complicated. Don't hold your breath for root, I kept trying to push for it on the predecessor X Power, which was popular on Boost and Cricket for the long battery life too. Nothing. Good luck, I hope the Charge gets it but I don't have high hopes it will be popular enough to exploit.
[General Questions and Answers] guest_2011:
My x charge stock camera app doesn't save files to SD. Only internal. Some other apps don't want to write to SD even though the option is available. Some write to sd no problem.

Just gotta say that Comcast customer support is still horrendous. I had to spend an hour and a half on the phone today, talking with three different people to finally get my second X Charge shipped. There is a bug on their website that won't save updated credit card information under certain circumstances. To be fair the people were nice and the issue was eventually fixed, but who wants to sit on hold for an hour and a half AFTER they called me back when it was my turn in line.?

[General Questions and Answers] falconae:
The xfinity version does not have adoptable storage but you can enable and format the SD via the adb commands.
[General Questions and Answers] DanHutchins:
If you enable developer options there is a setting in there that allows you to move apps to sd. Not sure how good it works, i haven't tried it, worth a shot if you really need it.
[General Questions and Answers] davekaz:
Thanks Dan

I've enabled mode already. I'll check it out
[General Questions and Answers] laughmore:
"Force allow apps on external" only provides the option for some apps in settings/application, and then some data and resources are moved (as far as I can tell), but certainly not the entire app. Instaling to ext. SD still not possible without formatting it as internal or adoptable I think. The space hungry apps I wanted to move did not have the option "move to SD." There's an app called "Files to SD" (no root) that seems to streamline this process - searches for movable app data and moves without having to find the eligible apps in app manager. I'm only mostly sure I'm describing what this app does properly.

That "Enable OEM unlock" option though... that'll be necessary for when we have custom bootloader support? I'm no dev.
[General Questions and Answers] DanHutchins:
Yes the Enable oem unlock must be activated if bootloader is being unlocked. If this is not activated you risk bricking your device while unlocking. So i activate it and forget about it every time i get a new device so that once its possible i dont have to worry.

[General Questions and Answers] DanHutchins:
Has anyone figured out how to get into bootloader yet? I have been trying for hours and cant seem to get into it. All i can get to is the download mode. Doesnt make sense that it doesn't have one since it needs one to boot the phone. Is it hidden so people cant get in? Im so confused right now. Any insight would be great.
[General Questions and Answers] DanHutchins:
Disregard last post. I have decided that this phone is a $180 piece of crap. I had it cancelled from my account although I will still have to make the payments since it's been over a month since I got it even though the issues are clearly internal and not any fault of neglect on my end. Xfinity told me that there are many complaints about issues with this device and are still not interested in helping the customer. I think my next step is contacting LG for a refund since Xfinity is unwilling to take it back.
[General Questions and Answers] davekaz:
That sucks man . I paid 1 for it so im more forgiving. Im willing to wait and see. They couldn't even port my number from Verizon after i activated with a new number. They say it's possible but every time they try it's never worked. Verizon states no info came to port. The sim works great on my note 3 with adapter. My note 4 was dropped once too many and glass cracked. Its not so receptive anymore. So i might take the leap and use it in note 3.

Ya. I have decided to go with the Samsung S8. It should be here by Wednesday. It's the phone I wanted in the beginning and should have gotten it then but the price of the LG was hard to refuse. Live and learn I guess.
[General Questions and Answers] davekaz:
Wish i could but the whole idea of starting this was to lower or eliminate my Verizon wireless bill

Enjoy it
[General Questions and Answers] DanHutchins:
I hear that. I went with it to eliminate my US Cellular bill. I absolutely loved the service with US Cellular but I would rather just pay for a phone and get service free. Eventually the payments on the phone will go away, and I won't have a bill at all. That's why I'm staying with Xfinity. Would be nice if they would recognize that the issues with these LG devices are software related and should exchange them for a different device since reinstalling corrupt software will not fix it. Yes that is what they told me they would do. But can't beat free service so just going to cut my losses with the LG and get the Samsung.
[General Questions and Answers] frequentc:
What did you not like about the phone, or what was wrong with it?
[General Questions and Answers] DanHutchins:
It would continue to kick me off my home wifi, wouldn't auto connect to the xfinity hotspots ( not to big a deal), kept recieving all kinds of bug reports, then when i was trying to get it sorted out with xfinity the damn thing just dropped the call and i then couldn't make or recieve calls or texts.
[General Questions and Answers] guest_2011:
No such problems here. I have 2. In my very first one i was getting bug report notifications. Disabled notifications. Everything works. Not sure what those bugs were about. My second i can tell without checking software version has some updates and i haven't had any bug notifications. Phone may not be worth $180+tx but it's my primary phone and it's fast and runs everything i need.

For some reason my first phone google hangouts never rings. Second phone rings. I tried to compare the two phones to see if there's anything disabled in settings or google related apps, permissions, notifications. Can't find anything wrong/different. Anyone has any ideas about GH not ringing?

update: shortly after posting here my phone started ringing. Seems like a random thing. Can't explain.
[General Questions and Answers] bob_janes:
Got this phone yesterday. Still trying to get my AT&T number ported, no luck so far. They have elevated to tier 2, and 3 business days to resolve. AT&T says should not have any problem. Does anyone else had problems porting AT&T or other carrier numbers.

Meanwhile, I installed my SD card with music and installed Mortplayer. Mortplayer does not find music, does not even see the sd card. But file manager can see the card, and google play music can play it. Anyone have any suggestion? Mortplayer setting shows root folder at /mnt/emulated/0, but that is internal. Where is external sd mounted at. I installed terminal to look around, but since I am not root, not able to see where the external is mounted.
[General Questions and Answers] bob_janes:
Well, I solved one problem with Mortplayer and the SD card, thanks to google search. I had to reformat the sd card (although it came from an older Samsung phone), copy music again, unmount an remount the card, and move Mortplayer to the SD card in the app setting. Now Mortplayer sees the sdcard as /mnt/XXXXX where the XXXXX did not exist before. I guess reformating must have allowed LG system to give it the right permissions. So the Mortplayer can see the folder on the card an it plays.

Still waiting for the number from AT&T to port. If they can not, all these efforts will be a waste, and the phone will go back to Xfinity.
[General Questions and Answers] laughmore:
GH won't ring for me if the app is open and the phone isn't locked. Maybe check display settings.
[General Questions and Answers] DanHutchins:
Make sure that xfinity didn't misunderstand the account number. If they type in one wrong number it won't port.
[General Questions and Answers] davekaz:
I gave up with porting. 5 days with trying and never resolved. Im with verizon and they never got a request to port. Tier2 is more like Oz . they will never call. I sound angry but im more beaten down. I changed my number to what they gave when i received phone. Did you activate it with there number first? I think if activated with ported number it would work. My son took his number to activate and there were no issues. I put my my number to rest and kept phone with new number. Its not bad so far. I tried putting sim in note 3 and everything worked but data. I habe not played yet but i will later tonight. Ive had problems with ordering 2 other phones which went to tier 2 almost a month ago. They even created a management tier 2 ticket and nothing. Im hoping to have 3 phones (paid for)on unlimited for 135 plus fees which 100 less for 5 gig each line. Im done

Thanks davekaz and DanHutchins. I got some more info from Tier 1 today. I am porting number from Alaska, 907 area code. They are getting an error, saying there is no 3G service in Alaska. That is not true, although there is no Comcast in Alaska, they have Veriozon in Anchorage, so that reason does not sound right. I am still waiting for Tier 2 resolution on during the weekday.

Has anyone tried to port out of State number successfully?
[General Questions and Answers] lithium630:
Good luck. Xfinity support is completely useless. If they don't now how to fix a problem, they just stop responding so you call back and speak with someone else.

[General Questions and Answers] guest_2011:
GH closed, display never locked here. It did start ringing after i posted here. I'm out of ideas. Will have to test with GH open but i think it should still ring.
[General Questions and Answers] laughmore:
It really won't happen like that I think. "Tier 2" is out-sourced it seems: When T2 was fixing financial info on my account (CC just kept resending the same ticket to "T2"), I asked CC to speak directly to T2 but they said it was a financing company not in-house. T2 did eventually fix my account, but I didn't find this out until I called back.

I don't know if every time they refer to T2 it's a financing company, but it probably isn't anybody on location at the call center. Bad CC doesn't surprise me with these awesome data rates... cost cutting hurts somewhere... Best defense against bad CC is being articulate, patient, and persistent...

If anyone is having problems with your home wifi showing as disabled when at home and not auto reconnecting, make sure you have Location turned on. The Xfinity Wifi Settings system app seems to need location turned on to work correctly.

I also installed Wifi prioritizer from the playstore as a backup (this also requires Location being turned on). I have it setup to auto-connect to my home network and give it priority over other wifi networks. No longer have issues with wifi reconnecting at home.
