    Did anyone get Amazon Prime LG V35?

    You have to download the app from a 3rd party source, and then manually run it in the after each reboot so it runs in the background, but yes it works absolutely fine. There is no reason for AT&T to block the unlocked phones from seeing it, other than they want to punish people who didn't buy...

    New Security Update

    I have an unlocked phone and have been getting the error the phone can't find the update servers for weeks. at least it sounds like a patch is incoming, but it really sucks that LG puts the unlocked phone behind the AT&T release.

    July security update popped up today

    I just got it yesterday afternoon on my unlocked V35 as well. I guess a 2 week delay behind AT&T isn't too bad, but it still blows my mind that an unlocked phone is updated after carrier versions. Aside from the price break from the Amazon deal, buying an unlocked phone in this scenario did not...

    July security update popped up today

    Here is there super awesome response to my inquiry: "In response to this inquiry, the LG V35’s unlock version will indeed receive the update for the Android security patch, Daniel. When available, you will receive a notification alert on your device so that you may download and install the...

    I sent a complaint to LG that AT&t beat them to the punch and we shall see what they say.

    Nothing ony unlocked version. I'm disappointed the carrier version is getting updates ahead of the unlocked version as that is counterintuitive.

    Did anyone get Amazon Prime LG V35?

    I got WiFi calling to work just fine today. I set the phone in airplane mode, then turned on WiFi, and finally placed a call where I was prompted to turn on WiFi calling and it worked fine. So far my only gripe is AT&T refuses to allow the Visual Voicemail app to install from Android Play...

    V35 cases?

    I guess I should have verified someone, anyone, actually made a case for the V35 before I bought it on the Amazon Prime deal... I foolishly thought that if AT&T was selling it there would at least be some official cases for it. I too ordered a V30/V35 case off Amazon that I am sure will have...

    Did anyone get Amazon Prime LG V35?

    I wouldn't say "no one cares" - I ordered my V35 from Amazon on Tuesday and its supposed to arrive today. So I think you might get more responses in a few days if you wait. I have AT&T and am happy to try and figure out how to do WiFi calling (never had that on previous phones) and report back.

    Sooooo...what's the next phone you are going to get?

    I ended up getting the LG V35 via Amazon's Prime Day super discount, but now I am second guessing myself because apparently no one makes cases for it and its just different enough that the V30 cases aren't good fits. :(

    Sooooo...what's the next phone you are going to get?

    My Axon 7 broke so I sent it to ZTE for repair. After sitting on it for almost a month, they sent it back to me as "unrepairable" (after I pestered them about it), even though they emailed me saying they repaired it and updated the software. At no time did they contact me via email or phone to...

    Getting support on a ZTE phone with the ongoing 7 year ban

    For the record I just sent my just under one year phone to ZTE for repair this morning. They paid shipping both ways to Texas so hopefully things will work out for that and by then they will be back in line to issue updates.

    Sooooo...what's the next phone you are going to get?

    I went by Best Buy to look at phones and the Galaxy S9+ is just a hair bigger than the Axon 7, but it's Samsung with their bloat and skin, not to mention spotty updates. There weren't many other recent phones there to look at which I was surprised at, so the hunt goes on I guess.

    Sooooo...what's the next phone you are going to get?

    I was getting excited about it until I saw single (non-stereo) speaker, no SD card slot, and a couple of other issues/limitations compared to the Axon 7. I started losing excitement at that point. It's also another Chinese company that for all I know will get caught in a trade war between the...

    Sooooo...what's the next phone you are going to get?

    Well after some reading it sounds like the Active is the red headed step child of Samsung in that even though it's the same specs (just flat screen and bigger battery both of which I prefer) it doesn't have DayDream support or get patched like the regular Galaxies. Time to go back looking for a...
