V20 10p replaced by TMO - LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion

After a quick phone call with a TMO rep, my replacement V20 is on the way. I explained to them exactly what the situation was and the nice lady had no problem sending me a new one. it'll arrive in just 3 days.
Anyone not ready to wait ****in forever for a new exploit might want to try giving them a call explaining the incompetence and miscommunication behind two companies like LG and TMO creating a device with an unlockable bootloader and no flashing.
Just be nice and respectful and they will give you a new one. Don't update this time lol.

Sure did!, already on lineageOS
AND
I fixed the longstanding touchscreen bug and bluetooth. uploaded a patch to lineageOS, should have nightlies again very soon

My replacement V20 came with 10J I think. I got it like a month ago as my charging port caught fire thanks to a garbage Belkin cord.

Sorry to hear that your charging port caught fire. I have put Belkin in my blacklist a long time ago.

Thankfully T-Mobile was understanding and they waved every charge and got me a device overnight for free. After that cord experience I'm staying as far away from their products as possible.

Did you have to pay the insurance fee? What exactly did you say I want to try lol. I'm stuck on 10p now as I thought I could flash desolation rom over it but no go.

Anyone know how to get rid of the android system update in the notification bar.....I'm scared my kid or wife might hit update on accident. I know you can just block it and silence it but it shows it as Google play services so I don't want to block those notifications.

Really the only thing they've charged me for is shipping. Even then that was like $5 I think.

Really? Normally you get it early if you get it shipped to your home. Stores are generally prohibited from giving you the phone before the release.
EDIT:Yeah, store pickup is the 6th.

Plus if the GS3 has everything you have ever wanted and somehow will hit att in 2 weeks.. you could cancel the preorder
Just got done placing the order in store (white model). I was worried they wouldn't honor the free upgrade fee that I usually get from the website (they did honor it). I did however find out that my $15 (200MB) data plan was no longer available and I would have to go up to the $20 (300MB) plan. Even then they were pressuring me hard to go with the bigger data plan. Told the guy to look at my current usage on the account...which was 20MB so far. Didn't seem to matter to him. Told me he uses 200MB before making it to work in the morning. This is why I like doing everything online. Still, $212 after tax and everything feels about right for this phone. Used it for the first time in the store and loved it!
The manager told me that as soon as the phone arrives at the store he will give me a call and I can get it that day which should be Friday the 4th at the very latest, but expects it much earlier than that.

I got black. While the white looks sexy (my friend has the international version), I prefer the black.
I was debating whether to wait t see what sammy has to offer on the third, however:
1) my HTC Aria is really starting to show its age
2) while the phone may be announced on the third, they may not even mention when it will be coming to the US; and I'm not about to wait around for six months unsure if it will even come to AT&T.
3) there is no guarantee that the SIII will be available at the steal of a price that the One X will is
4) If by chance that all of these factors fall in favor of the SIII, one can always return the One X, fight the re-stocking fee and pick up the SIII
P.S. I just ordered these two items from Amazon. This phone needs to be protected incredibly well because when I ride my motorcycle, the phone goes in the jacket pocket with all of my other belongings...
Case
Screen Protector
Did anyone order a case and/or a screen protector in advance? I'd like to know what the options are! I personally am a favor of TPU. Keeps the bulk down, yet does the job.

Tried to place an order on the AT&T website twice in the past hour, but when I click to upgrade phone, the website has an error and can't process the request. It was working fine this morning (didn't have time to pre-order, just looked at it)
Im not much in to preordering but I plan on getting this phone, I went to my local store a couple hours ago and they dont have any on display, hell they barely even knew what I was talking about lol which is weird since they did announce it being preordered.

So I guess no micro-SIM in the box for me... Hopefully the store can take care of that for me... Does anyone know how funny they would be "upgrading" my plan from my 4gb tether data plan to the LTE 5 GB tether plan? It won't let me do it online...

Verizon Sends Out Rezound as Replacement for Thunderbolt

Hi guys, just wanted to let everyone know that Verizon has run out of thunderbolts to replace your defective device. They are now sending the Rezound as a replacement, my buddy who works at Verizon in the tech department told me this last week. The issue i called in about to get my thunderbolt replaced was that it was randomly turning off, whether it was or not is up for debate lets just say Verizon won't be able to replicate my problem... Anyways the tech went through the script with me on the phone and i told them I already did the factory reset, replaced the battery and charger etc. So the tech proceeded to tell me that they would send me another thunderbolt as a replacement. I was disappointed when I heard this since my buddy told me that I would get a rezound. Anyways after i finished the conversation and got my order number i went online and checked it, low and behold it was for a rezound! When I received the rezound it was a complete set with the beats headphones, 16gb sd card, charger, battery etc. Just thought I would give everyone a heads up, I would get on this as soon as possible!
Did you send your old bolt back? If not, make sure to pop out the 32 gig sdcard!
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.

You can all read about this at the end of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522737&page=20
My replacement Nexus was damaged so I had to speak to a tech to be sent another one today. He mentioned that the Thunderbolts were "low on stock" and they were replacing them with different phones. The offer originally made to me on Tuesday was any 4G phone except the SIII or Razr Maxx. Good luck everyone.
also, I should add that the OP got lucky and it sounds like he got an actual new device. You usually get sent a CLNR device, which I have had terrible luck with. It usually takes about 5 tries to get one that is "like new".
What is the current software version and Android version of current stock?

Im very happy to be getting a razar as a replacement. I mean lets face it single core just isnt cuttin it anymore. If u have owned a gs2 or galaxy note u know what i mean. For a single core device the hunderbolt is good. Once u get rid of sense.
The verzion woman told me the thunderbolt is a year and a half old and was retired awhile ago.
Hope that doesnt mean its not gettig ics.
Well.. I would have loved to get the razor as a replacement.. but. nope.. they are sending me another T-Bolt..
Not sure if its a regional thing or not.. but North East seems to have t-bolt replacements.
Are you guys "breaking" your phones on purpose to try for a different replacement or did you legitmately have a problem? Also, how long have you had your tbolts? Mine is probably a year and a half but my contract has been up since decemeber.
They're claiming they are broken to get a free replacement (upgrade) while keeping Unlimited Data. Verizon doesn't check, they contract phone refurbishment to another company, a lousy one at that...
I was hoping to get this as a replacement the other day, but I got another Thunderbolt. However, this was through Asurion, and not Verizon directly. Oh well..

I told them the truth, that I was unsatisfied with the battery life and the various data problems. I'm sure plenty of people, like the OP, are just making up an issue. I can't say I support that.
Mine was 13 months old, one month out of warranty. It takes some talking before they are willing to make an exception.

[Q] Screen Repair Service

I have recently cracked the screen on my HTC One XL. I ordered a new screen and lcd already assembled for replacement and was going to attempt to fix it myself. I tried and had a very hard time getting the housing off. I then realized that I had an international screen instead of the at&t one. What I am wondering is if anyone would be willing to do the replacement for me. I could order the screen replacement and send it with my phone or just send my phone and pay you for the screen. If anyone would be willing to do this that would be amazing. I just really don't want to pay $250 for "professionals" to do it when I could have someone who knows a lot more about my particular phone do it. Thank you.

Guys sorry for the offtopic ,but i couldn't find users who opened the HOX before.I have a totally different problem.My phone keeps on rebooting and goes in a strange mode where i can't get it to boot with the power button.To make it boot i either have to squeeze the plastic shell on the phone or copletely remove it.I am sure that some part of the hardware is getting squized.When i connect it to pc via usb it shows "qualcom download mode" or something.Any idea would be greatly appreciated.I am going to send it to HTC for repair if i don't figure it out!

It sells for $175 on Amazon normally, so it's not a cheap SD card by any means. Big props to LG on this. I'm sure SanDisk made them a big deal tied with the whole first EPIC certification for the V10.
Both T-Mobile stores I went to on Friday knew about the promo. The first store had a flier handout but no phones in stock. The second store is where I bought the phone. She mentioned the promo when we first started talking and i told her I knew about it.
A few minutes after I left the phone rang and it was the T-Mobile rep calling to apologize because she had forgotten to give me the promo info. (I'm guessing the flier I saw in the first store.)
Funny how inconsistent places can be. It's all about management!

My story was I was checking to make sure the pictures i sent were clear enough for them to see. :angel:
So last night, I was getting low on battery so I figured I would take advantage of the phone's quick charge feature and plug it in. Of course, literally right before I plug it in, the power went out for the whole block. No biggie, I thought. I would take advantage of the phone's removable battery feature and put a new battery in. Except that the said battery isn't here yet because my status with the promo is still 'in processing." So no phone the whole night.... Why do I get the feeling that once I get the battery, I won't have any more power outages...

It's sad my T-mobile representative didn't know about the promo either, and the promo adds so much value to the phone deal. The carriers should do a better job of training their reps so they can do a better job of helping their customers!
Don't know of anyone is aware, but if you buy at BestBuy they are apparently throwing in a 24" LED TV...seems to be a separate BB promo that doesn't affect the LG promo.

For the love of GOD...WHEN MARSHMALLOW???

I am sooooooo tired of checking for an update. This is damn near CRIMINAL of T-Mobile to us waiting and waiting! Look we own THE FLAGSHIP of Samsung, and the top tier of T-Mobile, and yet, it just seems they can't push an update??? I called corporate a few days ago, demanding ANSWERS! The guy had the nerve to tell me "I just don't know..."....UNACCEPTABLE! I demanded to speak to ANYONE with a clue, he put on a Supervisor, who at least did what I would have done; put me on hold and do some checking. She, of course didn't get anywhere in giving me some idea, but, in a show of good faith gave me a $150 credit towards my next bill! (I took it off course!) My point is, with 6.0.1 being pushed to lesser phones, how is it we get put on the back burner and told to be patient??? I mean, it's TESTING for God's sake!!!! Marshmallow has been out since November 2015...HOW MUCH TESTING IS THERE???
Anyway, I just thought maybe someone, ANYONE in this forum might have some insight on when T-mobile and Samsung might get their S#@* together!!! (I feel better now...)

Glad you got your rant out, with that said it's an updated OS to a phone. Sure, it would be nice but it's not that important in the scheme of things.

Of course, you're right. I was just expressing my frustration. All things being equal, it's almost meaningless. ...I'm just saying, as it were. Lol!

I understand completely....sometimes it's the little things in life.
Samsung have moved on to the s7 and could careless about older devices. We will get the update but not until they have free time. As long as there's custom roms and root i could careless about the update. There really haven't been a android update that made me want to upgrade . Its almost like its going backwards if you ask me

I am sooooooo tired of checking for an update. This is damn near CRIMINAL of T-Mobile to us waiting and waiting! Look we own THE FLAGSHIP of Samsung, and the top tier of T-Mobile, and yet, it just seems they can't push an update??? I called corporate a few days ago, demanding ANSWERS! The guy had the nerve to tell me "I just don't know..."....UNACCEPTABLE! I demanded to speak to ANYONE with a clue, he put on a Supervisor, who at least did what I would have done; put me on hold and do some checking. She, of course didn't get anywhere in giving me some idea, but, in a show of good faith gave me a $150 credit towards my next bill! (I took it off course!) My point is, with 6.0.1 being pushed to lesser phones, how is it we get put on the back burner and told to be patient??? I mean, it's TESTING for God's sake!!!! Marshmallow has been out since November 2015...HOW MUCH TESTING IS THERE???

I understand your frustration because i created a similar topic...
Back to the topic, you know i felt the same way but i learned to cope with it. Its not really necessary to update right now, imo, because how well built 5.1.1 is for our note 5's. There isnt any vulnerabilities as far as i know.. It'd be nice to have marshmallow though, with all the new features, changes...
The only problem i had with this phone is that when i charge, it doesnt fast charge sometimes. Even when all the cords are fully plugged in. Just today in the morning, i was charging my phone and it was finally fast charging. But i wanted it to charge a little faster because i had work so i turned off my phone... 30 min later i found out it was fully charged.. so i turned it back on and guess what? It was standard charging.......... so im going to call tmobile or samsung todau after work and see what the fu**ing deal is.. because itz been like this for the past week and im getting tired of this and afraid my device will mess up from re-plugging, and rebooting everytime it does that.

When it's not fast charging anymore it's usually the cable going bad. Try with another cable plugged in and see if it works better.

I dont understand why it would go bad in less than 3 months?? I take good care of my things, one of them being the charger and cable for my note 5.... I dont have any other usb cable i can use and do not plan on buying a new one. This is fu**ing ridiculous. I expect the device and the accessories/charger that came with it to work properly and at least hold up after 3-4 years......
I was pissed off earlier because of updates, yes i know thats a bad reason but now i have a good reason why i should be really pissed off....

Samsung cable are garbage. I've never had the cable of any of my Samsung devices ever last longer than a few months now matter how well I took care of them.

If their cables are garbage, then their garbage as a whole...
I had an iphone 5s, bought it new from t-mobile. The lightning cable lasted me 20 months before it started tearing up.. i never had issues with it.
Marshmallow for the note 5 just got pushed back to Feb or March.

Q- Why do you want the update? Just because its out there? This is what I never understood from people and the rants. Now I have a OnePlus that I keep and a Note 4 to root play with and test out roms. I am running MM on my OnePlus and its smooth but its not like a crazy upgrade that would make me go crazy or rant.
To each his own I get it but really what is the upgrade going to give any of us that we cant provide for ourselves. Thats a game changer for the Note 5...
No disrespect to anyone just asking.....

I don't think those dates apply to carrier version of the Note 5, so may be even longer.

Samsung's cable is truly garbage, they always go bad within half year. Go get a third party charging cable, it works better. My Samsung cable quit quick charging 3 moths ago, have to plug and unplug for 5 or more times in a roll before it can quick charge.

Actually, it's a good question. I've been reading about issues MM has, and now don't want it as much. I suppose it's because this is the only Note I've not rooted in order to keep Samsung Pay...I'm also frustrated seeing other phones get the update, yet this is supposed to be the best phone on the market. I called corporate and got $150 credit for ranting on them, so it does pay when you complain loud enough. Essentially, I agree, it's really no biggie anymore. No offense taken.
