Wondering if anyone has tried a modded Flash apk for the G2x that will let you watch Hulu through dolphin hd browser and get it working? If so, can you post how you got it working?
What is wrong with using the Hulu app?
I thought I read that there was more free content available if you were browsing Hulu.com rather than using the app. Kind of like mimicking a PC and fooling hulu.com that you were not coming from an android device.

You are right. The app is only for paid content. Also of note you may want to post this in HTC forum instead of the LG G2x as what may work on a LG phone may not work on a HTC.
Flash video browser from the market works fine with Hulu.

Yeah, I should probably dump my signature, just realized....I use the Sensation - but my wife uses the G2X. So trying to get it working for her.
Amazon Appstore appears to be working differently than on my Galaxy S3.
Both with the built in system version and the upgraded version, when I download say, the free app of the day, it automatically installs it. Previously, It would purchase it, then download it, then once it's downloaded, I got a permissions page where I could then cancel the install.
I frequently "purchase" the free app of the day to get it on my account, but then don't install it.
Is this change something different with the way GS3 works or did Amazon appstore change something. I think it's the GS3 because it happens on both version 9 pre-installed and version 10 updated.
Can anyone confirm how this works for them on the G3
Installs without permission check. Dislike.

Ok, so I'm not the only one. So is this something unique to the G3 then and why?

Is your samsung rooted? Because I have a samsung gs3 and a Lg G pad both rooted and amazon asks for permission but it does not ask for permission on my LG G3 which is not rooted

Yes, both the GS3 and G3 are rooted I don't know why it works differently in the G3.
Edit: I also just looked at an HTC One S running Jellybean/rooted and it definitely does ask to approve permissions before installing. But, what's interesting, is that, the Amazon Appstore on the One S doesn't have a setting for automatic updates. My Galaxy S3 running Kitkat also doesn't have an update for automatic updates. Both have the same Amazon Appstore version as the LG G3.
This is very strange. Why/How does LG G3 have an extra option?
Even if I disable automatic updates on the G3 Amazon Appstore, it still doesn't ask for permissions,.
Amazon actually has phone support for the appstore and I called and spoke to someone who understood the issue and opened a ticket with engineering.
Will post if I hear back.
I bet this is just some sort of bug in how the appstore works with the G3 and that they can fix this with an update.
I just tried with my rooted D855, and got the permissions screen as per normal. I'm pretty sure I've had it every time I've used appstore. I suspect a carrier specific issue.

I just walked out of my local att store. The theme settings are there unlike on Verizon but the usual flood of bloat apps are all there. It's as bad as a go phone. None would let me Uninstall and several are also unable to be disabled such as the stock Twitter app. I looked at the storage setting and a fresh G4 has over 1.2GB of apps installed with only 21GB free space.
Wait for root. And just kick them out.
Root will do it sure, but for now I'm holding off getting it. If the att model gets root that will be enough for me. Having Google play edition m7 and m8 had just spoiled me to much I guess..
Here is hoping for a root very shortly. I am due for an upgrade and it is either the G4 with root 8 wait for the new Nexus phones. Currently nothing else on the market meets my requirements, that could change of course.

Strange you can't disable twitter. I was able to.
I think the only things I couldn't disable were a couple LG apps. Overall, bloat isn't a big deal for me as long as it isn't using resources or draining battery.

So why did you buy the AT&T version instead of the unlocked version if you hate bloat so much?
I didnt end up getting it, still debating on it. I only tried the demo at the AT%T store, but would think its the same as a retail one. Strange that Twitter gives an error when you select to disable it. Glad thats not the case on a retail model though.
I hate bloat and branding but settled for the ATT version because it was easier to come but and ultimately, more compatible with their network.
Every ATT app can be disabled except for their Address Book and Remote support. Really not that big of a deal.
I do hate that apps like Twitter, Uber, and Amazon get bundled in. I've never used Twitter or Uber and prefer to use Amazon's site.

Amazon is the only one of those I use, but I never understand why they put a different Amazon app preloaded on phones. I disable it and get the one from the play store.
Ordered a black leather one today. Can't wait to get it and root it. If it's half as good as my Nexus 5 that finally died, I'll be happy.
Anybody k,ow when root might find,out

All the TAR files seem to be available now so maybe it's being worked on.
Got mine from AT&T. Seems decent so far. Looking forward to root, whenever it comes out.
Until then, I'm trying to make sense of how to best work with DNG files.
Just came from my AT&T store almost bought it but I'll wait til root is confirmed. I almost got stuck with that note 4 last year I'll never buy a phone again before it has confirmed root

Lg G4 at&t bricked
greetings to all , I need help, my Lg g4 H810 is bricked , please can anyone help.
Ineed G4 H810 Kdz.
Thanks for any help.
I thought lollipop was supposed to fix this? Bloatware is supposed to be downloaded depending on your sim into the user app partition. But of course everyone always chooses to ignore Google guidelines

I believe Lollipop only does that on Google devices, which ultimately, is pointless. I was excited for that aspect, too.

The international version supports AT&T's LTE bands (2, 4, 5, 17). You will probably lose VoLTE support though.
It also doesn't support band 30, AT&T's new upcoming band. AT&T version does.
Ultimately, I went for what was readily available to me.
Creating this in hopes for our own sub section and discussion since we get as much love as Trump out here. Lol. Yes, I came from the LG G3 so I should know.
So, how much do you guys like the V20?
And does anybody know what happens after you go past the measly 5gb hotspot sprint is giving out?
Oh yeah, any status on root progress or unlocked bootloader?
I will have my sprint v20 this week. I know chainfire got SuperSU installed on the Tmobile variant. We have to wait and see what happens on sprint.
Sprint variant is missing a much of stock apps. Email being one of them. AT&T V20 has a stock email app.
I think it is also missing stock gallery app. too...

Can you boot into the bootloader on the sprint devices. And do you have the oem unlock option in developer settings?
Sprint removed all fastboot features of phone. We cannot access the bootloader unfortunately. OEM Unlock is in developer options how ever but it doesn't do anything.

No and yes.
When you boot into recovery and attempt to boot into the bootloader it just initiates a normal boot.

Them letting Sprint gimpo the phone by removing the email app and galery app is rediculous. There are a lot of people like me coming from note 7 who were on the fence between the larger size of the LG v20 and the familiar samsung experience of the s7 edge. Realizing the email and gallery app and god knows what else is removed by sprint might just be the straw that breaks the camels back to get me to return this for an s7 edge plus, or just run my note 4 till the s8 comes out. rediculous!

All the threads are explaining that the apps cant be sideloaded onsprint version. If you have a workaround please share.
I sideloaded the gallery app just fine. I didn't sideload any email apps cause I using Inbox and Gmail app. Don't know who is having issues but as long as the apk file is pulled out and you install the apk (not some flashable zip which won't work on any unrooted phone) should work just fine. Let me find my post where I posted the gallery apk file.

Thank you! The gallery app worked. The email one would make my day if anyone can find a working apk the ones ive tried say they are corrupt and cant be installed
Once people start rooting the Tmobile version I assume we can get the apk files from them. I also assume at some point LG and Sprint will push an update giving us these apps as well.

I uploaded the music apk and the email apk , using several methods, yet people said the devices showed the file as corrupted as if Tmobile did something to the apps, or Sprint probably has different signatures for the apps. i checked the files for corruption and it came out clean.
I don't think it is possible to simply pull an apk out of a flashable zip and get it to install correctly. It has been my experience in the past with other phones that never worked for me. We need a true apk file maybe saved by TB or some other backup type program.
The bigger issue is that messaging app and email app are probably system apps and without root we will never be able to get those to be that sideloading them.
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk
I'm surprised you guys are that worried about it, I haven't used stock email apps in years and for a gallery app, took all of 5 seconds to look on the play store for a decent one
If you have that new ad blocker, turn it off then try to install apks.
Ad blocker requires root right? So none of us have that.
I don't care about stock email or messaging, but rather was just trying to dissuade people from returning their phone just because of that small (IMHO) oversight.
Coming from the Note 7 this phone, the V20 is disappointing, but there isn't a phone out there like the Note 7, so I'll wait it out a year or two with this one and hope Samsung has their act together then.

The new ad blocker doesn't require root. Search the v20 threads. Plus I've been notified that the bug I mentioned had been reported.
Welp. I've jumped ship. Went to tmobile due to hotspot. After those 5 gb Sprint gives, its too slow to even run Chromecast.
Curious on the new update att s8 got yesterday . Channelog says it brought Bixby features (saw that ), security update to May (saw that ),but messaging enhancements ?? I use Android messenger ( for gifs ) .I opened up Samsung messenger and used it but didn't see anything new . Anybody noticed ??

Still no Bixby Voice as far as I can tell... I use stock messages app and didn't see anything exciting there either.

I've only noticed that the performance enhancements seem to be in the negative direction. Phone has been acting more sluggish and is having serious issues with the downloading of new apps/updates from the Play store even after several restarts. I may end up having to wipe it and see if it gets better.
My data got worse .
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Performance definitely took a hit, and I can t find a single new feature. Got a couple random reboots as well.
It's just getting worse and worse. Stay away from this update.
Mine did 2 random reboots since latest update as well.
