Database Develop

I get my jump next month

Deuces! ✌I can't believe what I've seen over here. Never again will I get an Lg. Hello m8!!!!! Oh the dude wanting to know where are all the developers are Lmao.

I've had a Jump to use for 6 months. LoL. I got a deal on the Flex so I didn't use it. Nothing out that I want right now. I just couldn't pull the trigger on a M8 because it seems to small. I'm waiting on Note 4 or even maybe a iPhone 6.

same here, although my son and wife want G3's; they don't care about root or roms, so I will get it for them..
But for me, its an M8, Z2/Z3s, or Note 4...done with LG personally..

I think they said it will be announced at IFA, in early September..
I have a jump in August, that I will use to grab a M8, and I have another one to use anytime after that, so If the note4 is incredibly outstanding, I will probably grab that, but who knows what will be out in a month or 2..

Not gonna jump onto the LG Bandwagon again, maybe oppo or Sony where lots of developing happen

I haven't had a reason to root honestly. I don't have the time for it anyway. Flex is the 1st phone I haven't had to mess with it. Just like their software better than anyone else's. From their knock on/off code to the pop up SMS and phone calls, its slick.
Checking on the g3 next week in the stores and go from there. Need a smaller phone for pocketbility.

Totally agree, they put some good thought into the software. They're actually useful features on the Flex unlike other phones out there that bost about no touch or eye navigation doesn't work worth a lick.
Dont forget about the Flex's camera app, it excels past my old S4.

The G3 is not that much smaller than the flex, man...smaller yes, but not alot.

How do you know? The g2 is way smaller and the g3 isn't much bigger than the g2....I know, I have two of them. It will be way more pocketable. This thing sticks out with deep pockets.

the G3 is 5.5 inches,vs the 6 inch flex, so not sure if 1/2 is small enough to make it pocket able for you..yep, g2 would work, as would a M8, as far as easier pocketability

As big as the Flex is I don't think it's that bad. I stream music with my Flex in my shorts when I mow the grass all time. I have baller shorts though and not tight ass girly shorts. haha Not saying you have tight shorts Jesse. lol
Do you guys think developers will be able to unlock the bootloader on the G3? I know I should just wait but now you guys have me thinking on trying the M8. I thought about it before but never could pull the trigger. I think I would miss the big display of the Flex. I sold my Nexus 7 because I wasn't using it since I bought the Flex.

i think eventually the G3 will be unlocked, because so many more people will end up getting it, it wont be a "niche" phone like the flex is, but who knows how long it will take.LG isnt dev friendly, so its not like they will do anything to help the process, unlike HTC, which actually makes it super easy to unlock your phone.
I've had a few HTC Phones now, and they are definitely the most developer friendly of them all; check the M8 threads and see there are dozens of roms/kernels/tweaks..plus the M8 screen is very nice, and of course that phone has the best sound of any phone out now, so that makes it better for someone who likes music.
I'm def going for a M8 when my jump is here in a few weeks, and if the note 4 is mind boggling, or if the damn Sony phone ever comes here, I might use another jump for that, but since my wife and son will get G3's, I can always mess around with theirs if I miss LG for any reason..

The LG G2 had a lot of development before KitKat. I think KitKat was more locked down but not sure how development is for the G2 now since I stopped reading after I got my Flex.
Not sure I care all that much about the M8 speakers since I usually always wear a headset.

T-Mobile G3 comes unlocked from the factory and almost already has a recovery. Thanks for the news D-Fuse and all that your doing for the Flex. :good:

I'm not even sure how the Jump works. I'm on the original Jump. I was thinking about ordering it through T-Mobile so in case I didn't want to keep the G3 I can just return it and still have my Flex. Not sure you can do that though.

you have to turn in your existing phone, in order to "jump" to the new one...

Software or Battery??

Hey Guys,
I really need your help on this. Last week my G4 out of no where just shuts off and never came back on. I tried removing and putting it back but it just vibrates for about 20-30 secs and stops. I called T-Mobile and they sent me a replacement. The replacement keeps rebooting randomly and the screen flickers. I called T-Mobile and they said it could be the battery, so they're going to send me a new one. So do you guys think it's the phone or the battery? I'm thinking I should pay $140 to jump. What do you guys think?

Seems like people are having trouble with certain G4 suddenly died... something about a faulty motherboard
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk

Mine phone did something similar and they had to replace the phone. A week or so ago it just shut off when I was using it, wouldn't come back on. After pulling the battery I could get it power on but it would shut off shortly after. It finally stopped coming on altogether. I called T-Mobile and they sent out a replacement.

Yesterday my phone reboot randomly a couple of times then the last time it did not come back. It would not power on at all. I tried the button combo to get it into download mode and nothing. I did notice that it would appear as a USB TTY device when connected to my computer. I tried using picocom to troubleshoot it but all it kept doing was spitting back junk. I took it to a T-Mobile store and they confirmed that it was dead. T-Mobile is sending me a replacement. I have no idea what caused it.
The manufacture date was June 2015. Maybe it would be helpful if we tracked that as these phones experience these sort of issues?

I received my new battery and the problem still exist. They're sending me another replacement phone. Is there a lemon law? This is just ridiculous...

Just got my 2nd replacement. Same ****ty problem. Just got off the phone with T-Mobile and they're going to be upgrading me to an S6. Good luck to everyone else that has this problem.

I'm assuming you're saying "out the box"
Yes.
I also told the rep that I didn't feel comfortable going through the holidays with an unreliable phone and they helped me by waiving my required jump balance and allowed me to JUMP. I decided to go with the S6 since there aren't any other worthy Android phones on T-Mobiles line up. I mean the Note is just too big and the edge is too much.

Samething happened to me last week.

Reboot and shutdown wont come back without removing battery

I have been rooted and using custom ROMs for over a year now on my note 4 but recently started having my TekXodus ROM crash occasionally. So I updated to the factory latest DOK2 using Kies and I have an issue where when I reboot or shutdown. When i do this I have to pull the battery out for a few minutes before it can boot again. I have tried factory restoring with Kies several times and still have the same problem. Root + custom ROMs also have the issue. Any ideas?

Similar problems in another thread. I'm still having issues although I've gone back to stock as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/help/note-4-major-slowdown-bugs-boot-loops-t3311297

People are starting to pop up everywhere with this issue, ROM's, stock, rooted, it doesn't seem to matter. It seems like it's either a software update they pushed to all carriers or maybe hardware failure of some kind. The batteries do seem to go bad fairly regularly around 9-12 months. That's fixable with that Anker 2x + wall charger kit, but if it's hardware failure for this it could get ugly.

Yeah mines getting worse. Gonna try to pick up a motherboard.

My phone died completely after a week of ongoing problems. Won't boot or anything any longer and I don't think its software related.. Let me know if you have any success picking up and installing a motherboard.

My Note 4 I bought a year ago was having this issue a couple months ago. Did the usual, factory reset, blah blah blah, was getting the mmc read fail error. Called tech support told them everything I did because I knew they would want me to do it so I headed them off at the pass. They said well it seems you did all the work for us and I had a replacement the next day for $5. Worked fine for 2 months and now it's doing it again so I'll be calling for another replacement tomorrow.
Strange thing is I wasn't getting the same mmc read fail error although I saw something similar only 1 time. This time though I did get a dm-verity verification (?) error. No idea what that even means.
What sucks is they really should offer me an upgrade at this rate but I have no interest in the Note 5 or the S6 without an sd slot or removable battery. Hoped to hold on to my N4 for at least another year.

where can we even buy motherboards for this note 4?

mine is dead as well! it's unfortunately out of warranty...obviously! i'm pretty sure it's a hardware failure!

Yep, my time w/ the note4 was good while it lasted. I purchased it for $350 back in october and was great. sold it "as is for parts" on ebay for $160 yesterday, and am done with samsung for a while. took that $160 and purchased a LG G2 that i'll have to use for another year or more. i was really getting used to the note's size and stylus features as well.

Good for you man! i really am gonna miss it too! i'll probably sell it for parts while i still can. i got a new nexus 6p that i really am enjoying as well!

I ended up getting a motherboard and replacing it. Worked out fine except I used a cheap lens cover replacement while I was at it and no my pictures suck. Not even sure if the actual is available anywhere.

[Q] How bad is the boot loop issue?

So I am looking to purchase a refurb G4 (or Note 4) for T-Mobile as I'm moving away from Verizon and wondering just how bad and the likelyhood of the boot loop issue actually happening on the G4 at this point? Anything I should ask the seller that might indicate the refurb G4 will be less likely to have the boot loop issue occur?
Thanks for any info in advance. Much appreciated.

So i just gotbmy phone back from lg. It bootlooped. Bought on ebay so had no reciept. I filled out form on lg site and sent phone in. Got it back it about 10 days total. Phone i sent them had bootloader unlocked which it said on boot screen in top corner but it didnt seem to matter as they fixed it anyway. Only problem i heard is if it has physical damage like a cracked screen they will not repair phone. Mine was a version 1 built 06/2015 this seems to be the biggest g4 with bootloop issue

Thanks for the quick response. Just wondering does the G4 have the same overheat issue like the G3 has? Like does your G4 get warm around the back when doing a moderate amount of activity like say checking Facebook and using Bluetooth to listen to music?

yes it gets hot like in the top like behind camera.. and the most recent G4 i heard of bootloop was 604
this is the first 3 digits of serial number... 604 means .. 6 year 201(6) and 04 its month april... so 604 means april 2016...
try getting from 6XX the higher the better i think..it was supposed to be fixed since 510 but they still bootloop..
so as long as you have warranty and to be in the safe side a locked bootloader...
no using bluetooth doesnt get that hot only when doing facebook app. and other stuff.. recording seems to get hot...

Thanks so much for the tip on the serial number. I sent off an e-mail asking the company I might purchase the G4 from if they got any with the serial number starting with 6. From what was mentioned earlier in this thread and a few other mentions it seems like LG isn't being picky on the bootloader being locked/unlocked when it comes to fixing this let alone if the phone is in warranty.
Just trying to debate between getting a refurbished G4 or Note 4 so this might help me sway towards the G4.

Not sure how to check for model number, us that in the Fastboot?
Just chiming in to say my girlfriend's lasted maybe 3 months and died in the boot loop. No amount of factory resetting could get it to stop and had to send it back to LG. Just got her "new" one back a couple ago ago, so we'll see how this one fairs. Not particularly happy with the G4 so far compared to how good the G2 was.

I replaced my D851 with an H811 about 6 months ago (602 serial #). I use it outdoors with an air temperature of > 110°F. I set an alarm for 125°F and it was going off frequently. So far so good, no bootloop even with the high temps. My Samsung S4 shuts down under similar circumstances. My LG Marquee died a few years ago due to the heat. I can't deny others have had issues but my G4 rocks.

Inducing Bootloop

Hey I'd like to know the best way to make my G4 bootloop. I've already had a past G4 replaced due to the bootloop issue with Sprint and just recently people are getting their G4's replaced with newer phones if they bootloop. Now this replacement phone already had a screen issue giving me horizontal grid-like lines underneath the glass and I've about had it with LG's crap. I want to induce a bootloop because a Sprint representative said that would be the only way to do so.

Nuke the bootloader. Theres a post around here somewhere about zeroing out the aboot or something

Are u rooted if you are just delete a load of system files delete it all
If ure on zvb try to flash zv6 firmware i heard it bricks

Best way to get a free g5 or HTC 10. Break the device and have the g4 replaced by insurance for as long as they are swapping people out to those models.

erasing laf did not seem to have any effect and flashing zv6 on top of zvb is not possible lgup will refuse. even if you somehow force zv6 ROM via dd, you should always beable to go in to download mode and reflash with LGUP or LG Flash tool. or am i missing something? I do not think there is a software method to hardbrick this phone on purpose?
I dd systemZV6.img and phone will get stuck in LG logo screen. But if I put it in download mode and LGUP ZVB image it's back up and running

Who is it doing the replacing?
If it's LG sending out G5s or V10s when you send in a bootloop G4, then I'll let you know if it's true or not since my LG G4 started to bootloop as per the known defect and I sent it in for warranty replacement. Though it's been two weeks as of tomorrow and they still haven't updated the status of my claim since receiving my phone.
If it's supposedly Sprint replacing the phone with a newer phone, I find that hard to believe since they told me to go through LG if I didn't want to pay the insurance deductible because the bootloop from hardware defect is being handled by LG directly.
Either way, as soon as I receive a replacement device, I'll post an update to this reply to let you know what happened.

I can confirm that LG will not replace the phone with anything newer. I just spoke to someone at the warranty and repair center for LG and they're replacing the mainboard, flashing a factory image, running it through a battery of tests, and shipping it back out to arrive in 5-7 days.
I wouldn't get your hopes up about Sprint replacing it with something new this late in the bootloop game as their early upgrade and exchange offers have all ended for the LG G4. Unless it was the retention department of customer care, they're probably not giving out any replacements of a different model.

Based on what seems like tons of reports from XDA and the LGG4 sub-reddit, it is Sprint stores that are exchanging boot-looped G4s for newer devices. I'm also interested in inducing a bootloop for this reason, and am running a looping CPU stress test app to get the phone nice and toasty for a sustained period of time (days). I will report back if I have any luck!

I'd be careful with that. From what I understand, Sprint isn't doing that anymore and they tell you to go through LG. I just got mine back from LG literally 8 minutes ago after waiting almost a month.
Though they did replace more than the main board, which was nice. They replaced the front bezel, screen and digitizer as well. Except for the battery and battery backing (you don't send those with it) they basically gave me a whole new, thoroughly quality controlled, G4. I think the display was upgraded in some way though, because the sticker covering the screen was different than when I bought my G4 originally. It says "Quantum IPS Display", where it didn't on the first one. I haven't seen my g4 in over a month so I can't say whether it looks more vibrant like they say, though.

What firmware did they ship it with? I'm still rooted on ZV6 and don't want anything newer if I send it in.

I can verify that Sprint is not exchanging these phones out with newer or different models/brands. My phone just slowed to a crawl and then stopped functioning and when rebooted stayed at the LG Life is Good boot screen. This happened only 2 days ago, 3 weeks after my sister's exact same phone/model did the same thing. I had to lay down the "I've been a loyal customer for x years" line on them just to push my upgrade up so I could buy a new phone (HTC 10 here I come). I will however send this phone in to be repaired, but I doubt I will buy another LG phone again after this issue.

My phone has dead because bootloop but i leave it in to fridge (supercooled) my phone frezee but i open it and it not bootloop. wow amazing revival.
straightway i think need close chip A57 (dead chip) by app Knel toolkit (pls search google) . now time it working normal.
but app knel toolkit problem stop working if you use phone alo app and hang on app.
i have new idea.
1st: why not use editor new build prop not use chip A57 at boot startup.
2: write good app for close chip A57 (Knel toolkit stop working if you hang on app.. and A57 working again to errno your phone)

Will an induced bootloop work for the warranty replacement, or will they only fix it if it has the actual defect?
