    Unlocking an AT & T G4

    Thank you shadavis08. I will initiate an online chat with AT & T. Was your typing AT$T intentional? They do seem rather more expensive. AndreiCL if AT & T won't help I'll use your websites. Thank you for those. Posted via the Android Central App

    Unlocking an AT & T G4

    I've brought this issue up before and received various responses but none involved an actual way to simply unlock an AT & T G4 without getting help from AT & T. Certainly there must be a way? I would like to keep my AT & T account and phone number alive while getting a different SIM card to use...

    Another rapidly draining G4 battery

    I'm using an AT & T "refurbished" G4 sent to me as a warranty replacement for my 2 month old new G4. The battery drains in an absurdly brief amount of time (its at 53% now and plummeting after being at 100% 2 hours ago) without any major apps running. Brief Google maps use, no video watching, no...

    How to know if a back cover is OEM, real LG products?

    I have a G4 with it's original metallic grey back cover. I'd like to replace either with red leather or white. Apart from ordering a leather back directly from LG for $69.00, is there actually any way to buy an authentic LG made replacement back - with confidence that it's not a counterfeit...

    Unlocking AT & T G4 for use in Europe?

    Thank you both. I wasn't aware an AT & T Passport plan existed. Paying off the phone is also an attractive idea. Then I would be free to do anything with it, although I will indeed look into the frequency issue. I'll think about all the options mentioned. Posted via the Android Central App

    Unlocking AT & T G4 for use in Europe?

    I'm going to Europe on business in June. I am in the midst of a 2 year AT & T contract with monthly G4 installment payments along with cellular service. I would like to get a SIM card and continue using my phone in Europe in June but return to AT & T service upon returning to the U.S. Given that...

    Have G4 but is G5 actually the logical next step?

    I understand what you're saying and I'm definitely not made of money. But if everyone waits will LG abandon the module concept and revert to a refined G4 for the G6? Could they reversion be seen as anything other than a failure? Posted via the Android Central App

    Have G4 but is G5 actually the logical next step?

    That's a very good description, "concept phone," which is exactly what it is as far as the modular aspects. Watching sales will be interesting but you're likely correct. The S7 is going to dominate. Posted via the Android Central App

    Have G4 but is G5 actually the logical next step?

    I agree the G4 is a great mobile phone, but I think the G5 has everything the G4 does (except certain rear controls) and because of the modular concept the G5 has the potential to be much more than a mobile phone. Posted via the Android Central App

    Have G4 but is G5 actually the logical next step?

    The G4 and all other mobile phones are now instantly obsolete. I'm completely rethinking modular design, which at first seemed cumbersome and gimmicky, but upon deeper thought offers almost limitless possibilities. Restricting phone use to available software and apps is suddenly archaic...

    Have G4 but is G5 actually the logical next step?

    I like my G4 and wasn't convinced by the G5 modular approach. I don't really need a robot ball...or do I? I've been thinking that modular flexibility rather than simply smaller, thinner, more powerful i.e. the Samsung G7 may actually be the logical next step in mobile phone evolution. My basic...

    Freezing up when texting on G4

    Lately things freeze up when I'm typing a text message using the defaultm installed messaging software (from LG?). This has never happened before. I'm concerned because this is a refurbished phone just received recently as an AT & T warranty replacement for my original G4. Ius generally...

    G4 5.5" Screen: How Is That Measured?

    Phone screens are measured diagonally I presume but there is variation among phones regarding their width and height, so it seems 3 measurements are very relevant and should be more commonly referenced. I was wondering why they aren't. Most people don't care perhaps. The G4 for instance seems...

    Samsung Galaxy S7 hardly feels or looks like a phone

    I know it's totally subjective. The S7 is so slim though -- how thin can a phone get? They must be reaching the limit. What's next? Posted via the Android Central App
