I saw on Aliexpress two shops which offers the wireless charging sticker.
One shop is a pre order.
And the other is combined with the NFC chip. So you have to remove the original one. Which I don't like to do.
that great news...
Do you happen to know if the wireless charging is working with a case like otterbox on?
Sorry I don't know I haven't ordered them.
I think I am not allowed to place links.... So just search Aliexpress on "lg g4 wireless"
It's only a matter of time before options start at the market. This is just one.

Oh I don't know on that as I would never buy a model with NFC. I would only buy a wireless charge only.
These phones are barely just released and not even in the USA.
In the coming weeks or month, there will be more than 1 QI sticker to select from was my point.
Just ordered it.... So we will see.

Very cool... I look forward to reading what you say. So you did the preorder QI sticker only, or you did the Qi+NFC sticker?
I found this one on aliexpress but I wont have a G4 for a week or two so i don't know if its compatible with the US one, I know the G3 had 2 (well 3 if you count AT&T) different pin outs i'm not sure if the G4 is the same
Good finds... people need to keep posting them when they find them. I have an alert setup on ebay to email me if something comes up so I fully expect to see them on ebay soon as well.
I ordered this one. Wireless Charging Receiver NFC IC Chip for LG G4 Battery Housing Back Cover Case-T01
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wire...-Housing-Back-Cover-Case-T01/32357030303.html
(from AliExpress Android)
Any word if AT&T customers get shafted again?

Depends on the thickness. In theory, the more obstruction the worse the charging is going to be until it just doesn't work. A strong charger should work with the case, based off previous phones.
Hasn't anyone tried ripping out the QI/NFC sticker from a Quick Circle case and putting in a standard G4 back? Expensive option i know but at least it's an oem sticker.

Some ahole that will then try to sell them in the USA for $20.
Bad news, the magnets in the QI charger for the Nexus 5 and 7 seem to make the LG G4 think that the quick circle is closed, so you cannot interact with the phone.
Even more bad news is that I couldn't get my quickcircle case to charge, either something is faulty or LG need to enable it with a software update.
They are two versions of the quickcircle by the looks of it, CFR-100 and CFV-100. It looks like CFR may be Korea only and will not work with the H815. You can see product listings like in post 11 state compatibility with the F500 but not H815.

did you purchase one of the stickers from aliexpress? the listings seem to indicate compatibility with both F500 and H815. im confused by your post, i was under the impression no official wireless accessories have been made for the G4 yet but it sounds like you have a case?
I bought a quickcircle case of eBay, seems to be the official case.
In the UK the quickcircle case can be purchased off eBay and many official outlets now.
The pins on the back cover matchup with the phone so I'm not sure what's going on, I'm still waiting on a reply from the seller.
Just ordered 2 of these. Hope they fit tmo usa! 94 available! Hurry before their gone! lol Somebody here will probably buy all of them.

Hi
I broke my HTC One M8 screen. I ordered a front case with digitizer, etc.. twice. Both of them do not work.
I'm experienced with dissasembling phones. I cleaned everything, assembled twice, still doesn't work.
If I assemble the old screen, when I power on the device it lits white. The others won't lit, but the phone will boot (boot sounds,etc..)
Does anyone have any idea why? My HTC is Taiwan version, but I don't think this is an issue.
Try it with different Software
One with Android 4.4.4 and another one with Android 5 or Android 6, probably the oldest and the latest. and of course before you installing change firmware to Android 4.4.4 too.
Best Solution is to use Conversion from Graffixnyc
http://www.graffixnyc.com/m8.php
what is this suppose to do? My old screen works the new ones don't, my rom is stock, i have only rooted the device.

Did you buy from the same seller? because I had this hapenned to me once and had to return the item.
You Can ask the seller to test it before sending.These are usually aftermarket replacements and sometimes come with defects from factory.

I cleaned the contacts with alcohol. I have 2 screens OEM from china and 1 (supposed) original from HTC.
The thing that is strange is that my old one works and new ones don't. I know I have a taiwan version but I don't believe this is the cause. I have a battery arriving today, I saw here on xda a guy changed the battery and it worked.

I have a tmo HTC M8 that had a bad digitizer, LCD good, ordered new display/digitizer from my normal friendly supplier. Changed display and it just comes up as snow. put ATT mboard on same new display and it works great. Put tmo mboard on old ATT display that was working fine and it is just blank. So what's up with the tmo mboard, I have another tmo M8 that needs a new display so I think I will just move that mboard over to the ATT display and see what that does. Any other ideas???
I have a samsung galaxy note 9 on sprint currently, the phone was dropped and smashed but not too a unrepairable extent. I currently put a new battery, charger port, and wireless coil. The phone won't charge still unless I use my s20 ultra as a wireless charger which says its charging but I cannot get a light, vibration, or any screen activity so I'm guessing the motherboard is most likely toast. There is no water damage and I will be replacing the screen glass I was hoping I could get a image before I ordered one lol but the real question is the phone is on sprint I was wondering if I can purchase a N960F international model motherboard and use it in the N960u shell. I want exynos for the simplicity of rooting. Also The charger port I installed was off ifixit and labeled for the n960u, n960f, n960fd but read somewhere there's a difference in charging ports? Any information is greatly appreciated. This phone will most likely be used on AT&T
Does anybody have any insight on this issue?
I you dropped and made damage anything, i guess you might have the same issues, but otherwise if motherboard fits in place correctly it should work, the F variant is exynos ad should work with all networks, and sure you can root it.
No guarentee it will be a pin for pin swamp or that the subassembly components/firmware will be compatable.
I think it's unlikely to work.
You need someone that did it to know for sure otherwise it could be a big lick on you. Even if it's possible no guarantee the replacement mobo is good or won't be damaged during installation (think ESD). If you had all the major components you have little to lose otherwise you might be kicking a dead horse.
With that much damage buying a working one with the right configuration be a better bet...

I'm sure to be careful with my electronics, but you are right. Looking at tons of pictures the motherboards seem identical in size, all the parts I bought said they were compatible with both models ill be using all n960u parts other than the motherboard. I read somewhere the charger flex is different but I can't see or find any ones that are different, also same for the cameras. This will be a pretty sweet experiment I guess. If they screen works the cracks in the display aren't too bad that it wouldn't be usable. I'd save about 80$ (if I don't buy a bdot replacement) all in all spending about 200$ in replacement parts. Not too bad if you ask me. Considering it's my gfs old phone that she didn't end up paying off since it broke I don't think it'll be a bad deal
I'll be sure to update any progress I have the motherboard will be in around the 15th of march
I changed my mind, perhaps rubber conectors are different?

Screen, camera or USB connection cable might be different size or location.
Boards may look same but their functionality may differ as both boards have different CPUs. snapdragon variat have FM radio enabled so 3.5mm jack may have different port configuration same goes with cameras and so on..... Best is to buy a exynos variant F model.

On the Note 10+ there are 2 Snapdragon C port PCB variants that look identical but are completely incompatible and not interchangeable.
Any update on this swap?
Is there any way to convert my weirdly "single sim" (second sim slot is factory closed on the little sim slot extension) to a dual sim? anything I should flash to get the second slot working? The sticker on the back of the phone has both sim slot IMEI numbers there, the slot is just solid plastic on the removable part... any help would be greatly appreciated! Model number is M2101K7BNY
Certainly sounds like a manufacturing error, with a machine just not stamping out the plastic part properly. The second sim slot should work out of the box saying "unknown" or "not available" (if using in English) in Android phone settings. You could contact Xiaomi to see if they'd send out a functional sim tray, or you could cut a section out yourself, it is very flimsy plastic though.

you'd think that it was a manufacturing error except we got 2x of the same phones and the second IMEI on the box of each phone has a blank sticker pasted over it by the service provider we bought it from as well. (Vodacom) I tried cutting my own but I'm not getting much success in that regard.. I am very confused honestly. Very happy with the phone, was just looking forward to putting both my numbers in the same phone
(IMEI is still shown by the sticker on the back of the phone though since they did not break the factory seals it seems)
Sounds like this 'Vodacom' carrier might have some deal with Xiaomi to limit customers to their network. I don't know which country you're in and I doubt this is the case here but according to Xiaomi there are plenty of clones of their products circulating, or so they claim, so there's also a possibililty it might not be a genuine device.
The note 10s was advertised worldwide as having 2 sim slots so it shouldn't matter where it was purchased, but maybe you signed up to a service in your country that only allows one sim on their network, you'll have to re-read your t+c's you agreed to when you signed up.
I'd be surprised if it was locked down in the hardware though, which regional rom is your phone running?

I'm South African, and it does not seem to be carrier locked, only that the secondary sim slot isn't enabled I guess? I do believe the hardware is there since I do have 2x IMEI numbers on the back of the phone, why would they do that if the hardware wasn't installed? where would the secondary IMEI come from otherwise? Where can I find a rom that might "bypass" this if I might need to flash a (in samsung terms) modem that circumvents this?
I'm loving the phone, but I really needed the dual sim functionality and it was one of the main reasons we took the phone in the first place since everywhere we checked it was advertised as a dual sim, however vodacom does not list anything other than space, ram and camera quality.
I do believe it is a legit xiaomi since I would notice if it was not in terms of GPU and software. everything looks legit and the phone is better than my old Samsung galaxy S9 in terms of graphics (gaming FPS etc.) etc.
Battery is the most amazing I've had, camera is 64mp as advertised, 6gb ram 128gb storage, phone is fast. MIUI 12.5.1. Charges super fast. great charger. I love the "click" when plugging in a charger, it is so satisfying vs how flimsy it felt on my samsung galaxy S9

because shipping to and from south africa is a problem atm most of the vendors on ali express charge over $100 just for shipping now. Where I used to get free shipping. also I did cut the tray open and attempted to insert a simcard with no luck. There is a vodacom app etc installed on the phone so not sure if they locked the slot on a software level. but if I do get my hands on a tray that isn't selfcut I will try it as well, but no luck so far.
I wasn't saying it couldn't be functional. It would cost a network provider money to make those kinds of changes so they probably wouldn't go to such effort, although they clearly spent something to have a different sim tray in your model. Your best bet is to buy a sim card slot tray as heinhuiz suggested above if you can't get your sim lined up in a diy tray to test it. You can find them on ebay/amazon, etc, too, I'd be surprised if you couldn't get hold of one somewhere without paying daft shipping fees to SA.

Thank you! will order one as soon as I can! would you mind sharing your findings with me if possible? I'm self employed in a small town with one stop street total so I gotta gather enough for emergency expenses and month end expenses before I gather spending money and month end is around the corner so I'll probably only buy next month since February was a little short so cutting things a little close. (sorry if I'm over explaining myself)
anyways I'll be taking a look this weekend if I get some time to try some software changing, maybe flashing a different Kernal or downloading a stock rom online and loading it instead of this RSA rom.
btw do apps on Xiaomi usually have adds? I find it a little odd that file manager and the security that pops up after you install something from the play store both have adds imbedded in them is this a world wide thing? I don't mind it the adds are super non intrusive or in my face at all but it is rather weird that stock applications have adds in them so if it means better cheaper phones then by all means. loving the phone for R199 a month and 175 worth of airtime, I'm basically paying for my xbox game pass Ultimate (R150) with the contract so in all fairness the phone is costing me (with 25 rand worth of airtime) like R50 a month?

I checked my Redmi note 8 tray and found it identical to the 10s . I tried 2 sims in the 10s . No luck the phone does not recognize the second sim. it looks like I might have wasted R200 Vodacom stated that they did not advertise as a dual sim tough luck to us was the impression I got.

yeah, I think it is software locked they don't advertise much of anything probably for this very reason. but what fascinates me is the fact that on the back of the phone, that sticker has 2x IMEI codes on them, the one being my simcard one IMEI so the second one should then be sim slot two, even on the box of the phone vodacom / ICASA just put a sticker over the second IMEI, but is on the box if you peel that off
welp gotta wait 168 hours before I can unlock my bootloader >_< but yes I do believe we have a custom version of the stock ROM since no one else has MIUI Global 12.5.1.0 (RKLZAVC)

1. Unlocked my phone bootloader with Miunlock (register an account if they prompt you to)
2. wait the cooldown period if there is one.
3. Download any FASTBOOT rom from the list here, if you click details you can choose between recovery rom or FASTBOOT rom, download the fastboot rom
4. Flash the rom onto phone from PC.
5. enjoy dual sim.
Hello guys,
I own a S10 model SM-G973F ,
Sadly,
My motherboard completely died but the rest of parts are working well.
I want to buy the unlock version of S10 Motherboard model SM-G973U.
Is it possible? if its unlocked version it will work?
Thanks,
The U1 variant should work but double check.
It likely be the cam and C port modules that give you trouble if at all.
I was of the belief that the C port pcb wasn't interchangeable on the N10+; apparently it's the same for all US Snapdragon variants.
If not compatible you will lose phone and internet service. Next time I go to change out the C port PCB I'll document it fully... a repair shop screwed up the last one and I didn't record which PN# was on the replacement board, duh.
Next time I'll just do it right and do it myself!!!
So to sum up,
you suggest to buy a new/used same board model as I had (SM-G973F).
Any chance you know where could i buy for a reasonable price?

No clue and if used the IMEI needs to be clean.
A used S10 is another option, a parts queen.
For $400 you could buy a used N10+ in excellent condition but same issues there with buying used. If you don't mind the size it be a definite upgrade. New ones are going for $800 now.
If you buy used there's another issue, the firmware version. Android 9 is preferable, 10 is as high as I would go. Make -sure- you known what firmware is loaded as sellers many times don't list what's actually loaded. Best to talk with the seller by phone.
