    Do I have to KDZ back to stock?

    What does this mean anyway? I don't even know if it's necessary. Currently rooted on VS98613B -- a few days ago, Verizon released 24C. Will I fark up my phone if I install a non-rooted image? I assume it's OK to install but I've never updated a rooted phone before - any advice would be...

    Any preparations necessary for updating?

    I'm currently rooted on VS98613B. No major issues other than god awful battery life. A while ago I remember someone here making a comment that I have to KDZ back to stock image if I want to update my phone in the future. Now that Verizon has released another update (VS98624C), I'm wondering...

    Gmail not syncing to my phone automatically

    Have you verified that the checkbox next to 'autosync' is enabled? If it is indeed checked, then i would UNCHECK it. Reboot the phone, then re-enable it. Hope that helps.

    I have a G4, you have questions — ask away!

    Can't really help you with your questions but I just wanted to throw my 2c in. The vast majority of those "sales reps" in cellphone stores are idiots but in this case, he (or she) was absolutely right. Don't let the troubles with your new G4 dismay you. I've been using mine for about 3...

    Change LED notification light color

    I was running 11A before and I swear there used to be an option to change the color. Since upgrading to 13B, I haven't been able to find the same option. Was that option removed in the latest software rollout?

    So glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for replying.

    lg g4s manufactured before September have a defect

    Very misleading. And it raises false alarms for many users of the G4 to think that their phone is affected by this so called defect. Talk about a knee jerk reaction.

    Horrible battery life after latest VZW update

    I didn't want to anything at first but now that I've been running on the latest update (13B) for several days, the battery life sucks compared to the previous version I was running (11A). This is all subjective because I don't have 'before & after' usage data but I remember when i first bought...

    Lg g4 questions

    Sort of surprising to hear that. Smartphones have come such a long ways that I can't imagine one sold with a poor (or mediocre) antenna inside. Especially the latest & greatest from Apple! wowzers...

    Any Tempered Glass Screen Protectors That Completely Cover The Screen?

    That looks very close to the one I bought on Amazon. Only difference is that the brand name is "Yootech" and the thickness is slightly different 0.266 mm vs 0.3 mm. Other than that, everything else seems identical (including the cutout holes). Even the brown packaging is the same. Not sure if...

    Fast Charger

    I have to agree with Tourbound129. I compared the charging time with the stock charger that comes with the LG G4 and the so called "rapid charger" purchased from Verizon. Going from 3% battery life to 100% charge, the "rapid charger" was only slightly faster by only approximately 20-25 min...

    Lg g4 questions

    Why are you asking about signal strength? AFAIK, that's dependent upon your carrier and how good their signal is. Nothing to do with the phone (or very little atleast).

    Trying to root my G4 - Stuck in download mode

    Final update: I went to the google play store and re-installed the VZW message+ app. Lo & behold after installing, all my previous text messages came back. (yipee). I'd still like to know if there's a way to verify if i'm really rooted on this phone or not.

    Trying to root my G4 - Stuck in download mode

    Crappy moment here. My Verizon message+ app is gone and all the text messages on my phone are completely GONE. (Ugh...) I had a feeling something didn't go properly. :( Atleast my phone is booted up and i'm able to send & receive phone calls so that's 1 good thing.

    Trying to root my G4 - Stuck in download mode

    OK it looks like I'm finally rooted....(maybe). My phone never rebooted after I issued the 'leave' command and the progress bar never moved past 0. (what gives??) After waiting a couple of minutes, I unplugged the USB cable and the only way I could get out of the download mode was to pull out...
