[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
On the LG website, for the unlocked US998 there was a "coming soon" along with retailers like Best Buy, Amazon. There were both V30 and V30+ listed, and they were greyed out. Now, I bet if we found that page again, the V30 would no longer be greyed out for Best Buy.

B&H Photo was listed under "preorder" category, and both V30 and V30+ were listed, but the V30+ was greyed out, while the V30 was active.

So, strong implication the V30+ is coming.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] teknomedic:
Sound reasoning, I wasn't aware of that. Hmmm... if not for the $400 off deal I'd have waited. Guess I'll have to talk the wife into the V30 so I can have the V30+ ha

Here ya go, straight from LG:

Whereas the same category link for the LG V30 is here:

And still only shows B&H Photo as the only authorized retailer at this moment, even though I know the Best Buy link you posted is live.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Already been answered many, many times in many, many threads.

There's a T-MOBILE network hidden menu in the US998 that requires root for access.

With root, you may possibly enable it from there, or with root you can (possibly) flash the T-Mobile radio.

Here, go read this. I just answered identical question last night and provided screenshot.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] igotroot:
Understood. You would think LG would make that band available for foreigners who travel to the United States and Roam on TMO. Go figure.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] andygold:
For use on AT&T, i don't see bands 29 and 30 on the phone, which have been somewhat recently put into service in certain areas. Also, with the unlocked, non-carrier phones, I'm not sure you'll get wifi calling, VoLTE, and IIRC HD voice (or maybe it was HD recording...sorry). Just something to keep in mind.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
[MENTION=6891791]Buckwheat6[/MENTION], your sent me a PM question about the Best Buy unlocked LG V30, but you don't accept PMs? So, I have to answer here...

___

It's compatible with Verizon, but you'll need to stick on an already activated SIM card. Verizon won't activate a non-Verizon branded phone.

Sprint and their brands won't take non-Sprint, non-Virgin phones at all, to my knowledge. You can't "Bring Your Own Phone" to Sprint.

With Verizon, you can, but you need to have an already activated SIM card to stick on, from another Verizon phone.

It's just safer for Best Buy to say it's not compatible, then to try to explain all that.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Buckwheat6:
(sorry about the PM thing -- I'll check that out shortly.)...

When I went from The Note 4 (Verizon-branded) to the Motorola Moto X Pure (unlocked, purchased at -- you guessed it -- Best Buy), I needed a Nano SIM card. I just walked into my local Verizon store, asked for a new SIM card, and they popped it in for me and activated it no charge (I was shocked it was THAT easy, despite the fact that others on the Motorola forums had quoted similar success .) That was only last year (June 2016) so hopefully their policy hasn't changed.

Thanks again for the help!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
OK, good luck then. I've just heard from others about Verizon control freak behavior on non-Verizon branded phones like the ZTE AXON 7, which was also just last year, in 2016. You had to stick in an already activated SIM card.

So, if that policy has changed, then I don't know why Best Buy says it's incompatible with Verizon. That's totally wrong information. That's probably just their stock boilerplate wording for any "unlocked" phones they sell -- many of which don't have CDMA.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] N4cr2k:
I will be interesting if these bands can be enabled or if the AT&T modem could be easily flashed. Pretty disappointing a flagship might not have full LTE support for a major carrier.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Almost any bands can be enabled in the hidden menu.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

See above. Doesn't even need root. People already did it on the Canadian version and others -- adding bands via the hidden menu.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74506190&postcount=5

The only thing we can't yet enable without root is LTE BAND 71.

People got VoLTE on open market (carrier unlocked) version of LG G6. I see no difference with the LG V30.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] andygold:
Does this also include WiFi Calling on AT&T?

Also, when I look at the linked thread above in regards to unlocking bands, the image shown for the bands does not include bands 29 and 30. The list seems to stop with band 25 being the highest on the list. Now maybe it's possible that more bands are listed in that photo, but they are at the bottom of the list, off-screen...but I don't know.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
There's a another screenshot from another user showing more bands. That was just the first page, to show the idea. Just because the first screenshot stopped with 25 doesn't mean that's all there is. ;)

Can't find the screenshot right now but found this.

This is for the U.S. T-mobile, yes -- but all those bands are NOT listed on the U.S. T-mobile spec website, but can be enabled in the Hidden Menu. We know "71" is not listed visibly in the hidden menu for the unlocked US998 -- but ALL the others probably are. Point is, ignore the listed bands. You can enable what you want.

EDIT: FOUND IT.

as an fyi... B&H price matched BB for me. very nice of them.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] johninsf:
This is awesome. How did you get the match? Before or after you purchased? Did you call or email?

I just ordered from B&H tonight!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] teknomedic:
I first bought from B&H, then noticed BB was $20 cheaper so I emailed B&H customer service and asked nicely about a price match of $20. After a couple days I received no direct reply from B&H CS, but I did receive an automatic email saying they were processing a $20 refund. Thank you B&H.

It should be noted I did this when BB had stock though and I've noticed they're now sold out at BB... So this could change future decisions for others.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ragtim:
LOL. Was thinking the same. I will have my v30 today, but would like to make my v30+ the second device.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] galr:
In Israel I paid 850$ for the V30+. Came with wireless charger for the car too. We only have unlocked versions here.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
But those are just SIM card unlocked/carrier unlocked. The big deal about this is it's bootloader unlock eligible. The U.S. Cellular model -- which is SIM card unlocked/carrier unlocked -- is not eligible.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] johninsf:
B&H matched the lower price and refunded me $20.00.

They responded to my email this AM, that I sent last night, and asked for the BB URL showing the lower price of $799. (BB shows V30 out of stock).

I sent the URL back to their customer service and they credited me the $20 in 30 minutes.

#excellent

Thanks [MENTION=4330095]teknomedic[/MENTION]
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I emailed them last night for the same retroactive price match.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
They refused me, since Best Buy shows out of stock on the link I sent them. They said to contact them again when Best Buy is back in stock.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] SGCMarkus:
Just saw that the price for the H930 also went down to 799.99€ here in Austria, but it still says 10 - 14 days shipping time, so I guess I'll wait some more (and hope for the US version to get its bootloader unlock soon, so the development speeds up :) )
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
They changed their minds. They gave me the refund after all.

Hey everyone, I am currently using a Galaxy S8, and strongly thinking about switching to a Google Pixel 2 XL.

I am clearly addicted to music, and I own a pair of Sennheiser IE-80 to enjoy my music to the fullest.

I am rooted on my S8, and using Viper4Arise.

I would like to know if anyone has ever tried Viper over USB Type-C Adapter, and if it does work ?

Cheers !

For anyone wondering about the same, yes, V4A or Arise or whatever will output processed audio to the USB C adaptor.

It works but it does not at least on my phone recognise USB C as a USB output . Instead it will load up the phone speaker profile as default. Which is annoying to say the least.

About TWRP

TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel.

Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After our work on the EVO 4G we wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.

A custom recovery is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom "ROM" like OmniROM.

Bug

None (post below if you find one)

How To Install

Via Custom Recovery

Question for [MENTION=4397009]norbarb[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4631220]Venom0642[/MENTION],

(or anyone else who has, or had both....)

Both of you have mentioned having both the S8+ and Note 8. Nearly every review I have read says something like "except for S pen and camera the Note 8 has no advantages". Do you(s) agree with this assessment? Any other observations? I ask, because I'm on the fence about upgrading, and I wouldn't use the S pen, and don't use the camera very much. Thanks, in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] turbo23:
My opinion

My wife got a Note 8 the week before my 8+ arrived, both unbranded, unlocked from Samsung. After seeing both, regular daily use for a month...I have to admit, hers seems snappier, more responsive opening apps and navigating around on the phone. She has 7.1.1 and I'm on 8.0 beta 3. Maybe the extra RAM, I don't know for sure. I also thought I would not use the pen enough to pay the premium but, in hindsight the Note would have been a nicer phone.

This is a nonscientific evaluation, she was like "you shoulda got a Note" from day one. If I had to replace my 8+, I know what the choice would be. I did pick the Note for her considering her job, she does take notes on hers. She is a MSN Charge Nurse of the OR and really needed the productivity features of the N8. On my job its just messaging, taking pictures and the basics.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
Completely agree, I have the Note 8 and S8+ and AFAIC the pen is the only difference. Don't use the pen that much but since I was a previous Note 7 owner I got the Note 8 for $424.00 plus tax, couldn't pass on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zoreli:
Have the S8+ than Note8 ... after 7 days back to S8+. Why ? because changed Note8 for S8+ + 300 euros :D (insane)

Note8 have S-Pen (didnt use much) little just little better camera , screen is very sharp / brighter then S8+ , overall smooth just a little better (6gb RAM) on Note8 . But battery is way better on S8+ and basically its 90% same phone with insane price difference , ... will see what is goin on with Oreo on both devices or just waith february / march for S9 .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
I like my Note 8 more personally...

The extra 2 gb does go a long way to improve the experience and though I don't use the S-pen all the time sometimes it is just too good at replacing my ham-fists when I want to do something precise...

If you have the money to spend I would consider it over the S8+...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dalanik:
I had Note II and I NEVER used that pen. Seems like a great idea but in practice NOBODY uses it. Or if they do, they do just to show off, any task is faster done without that s-pen. So, since the screen is just 0.1" bigger... no real advantage IMHO. Camera should be a little better as well, but who knows. IT all comes to personal preference, whether you like more curved edges (S8+) or less curved phone edges (N8) :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] reppi:
The reason the System UI is snappier and apps are opening faster is the new version of Samsung experience. Just flash a Note 8 ported ROM on your S8 and it's as quick as the Note 8. You can instantly feel the difference. The 2 gigs more RAM may keep more apps open in the background but it doesn't really affect the smoothness of the UI. The S8+ also feels a lot more comfortable in your hand. The Note 8 feels huge compared to the S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
Good point. But I'm in the US, with only the Snapdragon version. Hence, bootloader is unlockable = no ROMs for us. But thanks for the observations, anyways.

And thanks to all who've posted here. Much appreciated.
