[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mtbvfr:
Hi Folks,

I am basically new to Android and Phones but not new to computing. So, when using abbreviations or acronyms, please include in brackets the full description the first time you use them.

I have a New in Box Unlocked LG G5 H850 with Android 7.0 (Android security patch level is 1 November 2016). It was advertised as being a Europe model.

It has one SIM card slot and an SD Memory Card slot.

A check, on the IMEI number, suggests the phone is an Israel sub-variant. The report, produced by the LG SN & Carrier & Country Check on the IMEI.info website, lists the following:

Firmware File: H85030e_00_OPEN_IL_OP_0206.kdz

Firmware Version: H85030E_00

Suffix: AISROP

Carrier Code: ISR

Country Code: IL

Country: Israel

Carrier: ISRAEL

In the list of Device Properties I extracted are the following entries:

[persist.sys.op_name]: [OPEN_IL]

[ro.lge.acc_nt_type]: [NT_TYPE_EU_GLOBAL]

[ro.lge.factoryversion]: [LGH850AT-00-V20a-GLOBAL-COM-OCT-30-2016+0]

[ro.lge.swversion]: [H85020a]

[ro.lge.swversion_arb]: []

[ro.lge.swversion_rev]: [0]

[ro.lge.swversion_short]: [V20a]

[ro.lge.swversion_svn]: [26]

Does anyone know what the AT, at the end of LGH850AT, refers to?

Does anyone know what the following represents?

At the end of the post are various Configuration Properties, I extracted from the phone using the app kDI Device Info system permission, that I thought might be useful in analysing the situation. There were 741 Properties in total.

Besides trying to determine which variant I have exactly, I am also having Bootloop problems associated with connecting to the Internet using WiFi. I think I have tried just about everything I have seen via searching the Internet except rooting the phone and disabling IPv6.

It doesn't matter whether DHCP or a Static IP is being used. When the Internet is accessed by a Browser, the phone almost immediately goes into a Bootloop and the only way to stop it is to turn off Wi-Fi after it restarts.

When the phone was received, the pre-selected Language was English (United Kingdom).

As this is supposed to be a European variant, why are there references to Hong Kong and South-east Asia as indicated by the following Properties?

Why is there no OTA Software Update for Oreo? Should I avoid Oreo? When I checked for a Software Update, the response received indicated that I already had the latest version installed.

Is baseband "MPSS.TH.2.0.c1.4-00041-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.72241.1" known to have WiFi problems. Does this have anything to do with the functionality of Wi-Fi?
