    Using a Sprint phone on Verizon

    I have a broken Sprint LG G5 that I am thinking about reparing and then activating on Verizon. A guy at my local phone repair shop told me that a Sprint LG G5 is not going to work as well on the Verizon network as a Verizon LG G5 does. Is there any truth to this? Verizon says my Sprint phone is...

    Please - I need a soft case for LG G5 with a good, sticky grip

    Hello, I've been very frustrated that I can't find a silicone rubber case for the LG G5 made of real rubber. My old Galaxy S5 had a case made of real, sticky rubber (not TPU plastic) that had amazing grip. I could lay my phone on my car's dashboard face-up and it would not slide around when I...

    Phone won't boot up. But warranty voided due to cracked camera glass?

    Yes, I tried that. Sometimes it vibrates for a second, but nothing happens. And no LED lights come on when I plug the phone into a charger.

    Phone won't boot up. But warranty voided due to cracked camera glass?

    My LG G5's camera glass broke several months ago. The phone has been working fine but a couple of days ago the screen completely froze and would not turn off. I pulled the battery out and put it back in, and the phone will not boot up. I have an external charger with extra battery and it's...

    Soft silicone case for LG G5?

    I've been trying to find a soft silicone case for the LG G5 and I haven't had any luck. My last phone was a Samsung Galaxy S5 and there were a ton of silicone cases available on eBay and Amazon. I do not want a semi-stiff TPU/plastic case. I'm looking for an ultra-flexible and soft silicone...

    Android phones with a removable battery?

    I should add that I bought the LG G5 directly from Sprint for only $145 (brand new, not refurbished), so it has to be one of the best, if not the best, values for a smartphone anywhere. What other high end smartphone can you get for only $145? It was actually cheaper than some weaker phones...

    Android phones with a removable battery?

    So I ended up getting an LG G5. It was really cheap and I like it a lot. It has the same chip and RAM as the Galaxy S7, so it's nice and fast. Way snappier than my old Galaxy S5. The only thing I don't like about it is the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. I don't like not having a...

    LG G5 widget icons don't line up?

    I have a new LG G5 and I installed a flashlight widget, weather widget, and some google widgets on my home screen. The widget icons sit lower than the app icons. My old Galaxy S5 never had this issue - all app icons and widgets were the exact same shape and size and always lined up perfectly...

    Android phones with a removable battery?

    I believe the Motorola E4 Plus does not have a removable battery. The Motorola G5 does have a removable battery, but it's a budget phone with a slow processing chip, I think. How do I compare the performance specs, camera performance, etc. of the Motorola G5 versus the LG G5?

    Android phones with a removable battery?

    The LG G5 is just as fast as the V20 but in a smaller body right? There does seem to be some hope for removable batteries making a comeback due to new coatings coming out: Taking the plunge: why waterproof smartphones will be even better in 2018 | TechRadar

    Android phones with a removable battery?

    Actually, I think the LG V20 is a bit too big for me. The LG G5 has a removable battery and apparently has the same chip and RAM specs (Snapdragon 820 and 4 GB RAM) as the V20, but it's smaller, more comparable in size to my Galaxy S5. So the G5 may be my best option. But since the G5 has...

    Android phones with a removable battery?

    I am one of those people that can't live without a removable battery. My Galaxy S5 is having a screen problem that is getting worse and I need a new phone soon. I was deeply saddened to learn the LG V30 is not going to have a removable battery. It seems like all the newer models coming out...
