I ordered a wizard from customer service (to replace my broken one) and it never came. After talking with customer service, I went into a local store and purchased my new wizard (G4). I can't update the rom on it and just today my "lost" phone turned up (G3).
A friend stopped by my old apartment and picked up a package he saw was addressed to me (my phone, ordered ~two weeks ago)
Here is my problem: which phone should I keep--the G3 or the G4? Is there any advantage to keeping the G4?--Has there been any progress in upgrading them or should I stick with the G3?
THANKS for the help!
from what i have heared they say its easy to upgrade and downgrade the g3 unlike the g4. im new here so i believe someone will give you a better answer to your question.
I hope so. Maybe someone who is working on roms can answer my question if they have time*** :!:
Personally, I would keep the G3 but then I like using the custom Roms!
Uhh...G3 dude. G3 can do everything G4 can plus some. As of now anyways

Currently the general recommendation would probably say the G3 handset. There are no obvious reasons to keeping the G4 at this moment. All we know for sure is that HTC decided to go with a new flash chip due to availability/cost reasons. This caused a hiccup here so from the standpoint of the ROMs here at this site - at this moment - keep the G3 handset, and return the G4 handset.
BTW - A2DP wasn't meant by having two 8125's; one for each ear :wink:
Keep the G3.
Keep the g3 will give you less trouble if u need to downgrade/upgrade. Plus with the new htc devices coming out, I doubt if any one is going to try to work in the g4 devices, like unlocking etc .now the g3 pretty much everything has been covered/hacked.
So how do I ask this without revealing what a newbie I am...
Heck with it. How does one determine if one has a G3 or a G4?
Thanks!
When your IPL/SPL ends with .001 you have a G4 chip.
Thanks for your reply! My IPL/SPL both say 2.24, but this is after I flashed the 2.24 T-Mobile ROM posted on this site...so I was under the impression this was ROM related, not device related...?
Manzil
If you have a G3 chip your IPL/SPL is for example: 2.24
If you have a G4 chip your IPL/SPL is for example: 2.24.001
If you flash a G3 Rom onto a G4 device (with the x.xx.001 IPL/SPL) your Wizard will be bricked for sure! There are already a few threads about this issue.
I hope that this clears things up.

guys, I just changed iphone to LG G4.
I was running today, and dropped my phone..(also my heart)
Its been at least 3 days with this new phone, and unfortunately my camera lens cracked.
I dont know why but It cant focus, i guess my laser part broke??
I got this phone from t-mobile, and is there any spare camera lens part i can purchase?
I found few g3, but not g4. I wanted to fix it ASAP and get the 14 day policy and change it to new G4 ..
If you guys have any tips, please let me know!
thanks!!
Just return it within the 14 day policy and say it came that way.
My G3 died and Sprint gave me a NIB G4
G3 LS990 has lots of custom roms and support, and this whole forum section looks dead
Am I on a dead-end phone with this new G4 LS991?
Am I doomed to use OTA forever?
How can I get the bootloader unlocked for TWRP?
I was running Android 7.1.1 on my G3. I don't even see anything like that for G4?
Did I just get completely and utterly screwed over by getting this phone? Aka, is it time for me to ebay the phone I have had less than an hour and switch off Sprint?
Let me know what you can, thanks guys!

1) Yes development is pretty much dead for the Sprint G4, for at least a year maybe and no telling how long more, probably ever.
2) Secondly, you should be aware that the LG G4's high rate of hardware problems (LG and all the carriers are aware of this too.). Called bootloop. Try temporarily reactivating with sprint and tell them you want another handset you would be happy with.

Mine is not purchase from eBay
If it is brand new in box you should be good? I'd message reseller and ask just in case and ask him if it is sealed and specifications are all the same
Where is it coming from?
The only problem I see is you open the box, and find out it is a clone.
You could always put a claim return to it. Reseller might argue it was sealed but your point is valid
If it is coming from China I wouldn't bother
Bought a lg g2 once. Seller did not claim it was bnib. When I got it you could see the extra glue that screen was replaced
Try local
Nope it's coming from new york not china luckily...idk though now I've been reading about this boot loop problem the g4 has...I'm wondering if I should just stick with what I have...I use my phone everyday for work and really don't want to risk an issue...not sure what to do really :/

Ask him for first few numbers of the serial number
Post back
A lot of the issues are with the 505 phones. Some have never had a problem even then
If it is a 505 you are taking a risk
Ideally you want 7 series number if you are taking it with no warranty
First 3 numbers year month
505 is 2015 may
708 would be 2017 august
I know no one is going to be selling there phone with a serial number listed..... But atleast you know your getting a 7 you are getting the newer motherboards
No one has exact info on which are known to bootloop. You might get lucky with a 505, or you might end up pissed off
The newer the motherboard/serial number less risk
Hi all...I'm sorry if something like this has been posted before...if so please link me to it and delete this.
I have the g4s little brother, the LG g stylo (metropcs), and I was thinking about a slight upgrade. I found a bnib tmobile g4 on eBay (located in usa not china)
My current phone is stock rooted 6.0 with xposed and I have everything set just how I like it...I also use my phone everyday for work so it's very important that it works flawlessly.
I've been reading about boot loop issues with the g4 and that worries me...I'm also worried about this whole thing I've recently come to find out about xposed not working on nougat? But I suppose I could just stay on a mm based Rom? I'm also trying to learn about magisk as I didn't even know what that was because I really haven't tinkered with this phone in quite a while.
Anyway I'm wondering if anyone here has any good advice/knowledge to share with me...any links that could provide good reading material would be appreciated to catch me up to speed...or if maybe you can suggest another phone to upgrade to? The g4 I found was $140...but I'd probably spend up to 250ish? The g4 is just sounding like a good little upgrade for less than what I paid for my stylo new...plus I'd still get to use g4 tweaksbox...If you've read all of this I appreciate your time thanks.

depends on 2 things... 1 if its really a h811 ive seen many and inside motherboard is another variant..
2. its not guarantee but as long as you get a phone made from 2016 onward the better. doesnt mean it could not bootloop but chances are slim. i have 1 from jan 2016 anyhting above that manufacturing date . less chance to bootloop also LG has extended warranty to 2 years from manufacture warranty so they say.

Would it be ok for me to post a link to it on eBay so I could get an opinion on whether it's real or not? Not sure if that's allowed or not :\

i think its allowed if not will know LOL
by real what you mean.? the only way to tell if its a h811 is by opening phone.. and look at motherboard model number.

well the only way i guess is to ask the seller for manufacturing date. tell them some units are defective and you want to look for the phone with newest manufacturing date. cause if you get one and its from 2015 are very likely to bootloop.
This isn't coming from New York
Read it fully
Coming from hong Kong or china
Likely a refurb
