Just a curious (some asked me if I backup with the LG bridge? On my PC) can it be backed up? I've got bridge and a few other things on my PC I was going to attempt to root the phone this summer.
You can ship it to the Google store. They are doing out of warranty work including battery replacement I'm not sure of the cost buy I read a piece by Android Police a while back on it.
I have a LG k8+ running 8.0.x (I gather it's similar to the Stylo 4 or the k7 and possibly the k10). I haven't used in about a year, a family member wishs to use it and I can't remember the pattern to unlock the phone. I do know my Gmail account and password for the phone. I've got some business...
it appears to be the start up lock screen is active. you need to enter the knock knock pattern, then go to settings and at the top a orange bar should be present. when you tap it it will ask you for the knock knock pattern enter it and turn it off.
