Snapped a screenshot at 15% battery warning today.
72h2m usage on battery
+9h 53m time remaining
Will try and upload it tomorrow.
First usage on battery on first charge.
SOT was a little over 3hours.

Also I confirmed the LG-H815 has absolutely no CIQ installed.
Makes sense since its not a carrier version but even when I remove everything I can from the AT&T G3 there is still a receiver found.

From what i understand these are the differences between buying off Ebay and buying from a carrier?

Ebay:
1. Lower Price
2. Unlocked Version
3. No Bloatware
4. Maybe a Headset
5. Maybe an extra back cover
6. Seller specific free stuff
7. Possibly no warranty?
8. Faster Software Updates

Carrier:
1. Either no down payment/ Monthly plans (if you're into that)
2. Carrier Locked/ Fee to unlock (I assume)
3. Carrier Bloatware
4. Free Carrier and LG stuff
5. Better Coverage due to specialized bands
6.WiFi Calling/Texting

Is that about it? I need more pros for carrier but i can't think of any.
Thanks falc39 & tardus!

Carrier phones will cover all the frequency bands of that carrier so you will have maximum coverage possible. Sometimes you do not get all bands with the unlocked sim-free version.

Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of the proper APN settings for AT&T?

Does anyone have experience buying from "Never MSRP" on ebay?

T-Mobile and other carriers do have *some* useful stuff. On T-Mobile wi-fi calling (and texting) has very good quality for example. Much better than voip over hangouts from my tests. Not saying that's enough to tip the scales.

For those of us that got the H815 from AC (thanks AC!) is it covered under warranty by LG? Has anyone checked? I'm not expecting it to but it would be nice.

I assumed it was. I could be wrong

Skidmark,

Bought my first Android phone from them in 2012. Generally a good seller although they only provide an adapter as a free extra.
They also have the G4 marked up higher than tropical_mobiles(who are offering free yet cheap extras.
They were good at responding to my queries at the time as well.

Reviews i've seen have shown that either you get an extra back with leather versions or you don't. Tropical_mobiles doesn't seem to have the extra cover package. I don't know about Never_MSRP though

Edit: Looks like they price matched now.

Darn that's one of the things I actually wanted. I just ordered through Tropical Mobile(tan/brown leather) and was hoping to get the spare plastic back. Oh well, back to eBay to find one. It would just be nice to use it at work while its in a case and save the leather for when I'm going naked.

Just received mine, ordered Saturday with overnight shipping. Red leather and it came with an extra plastic gold back. They included a charger to convert the plug and also a USB car plug.

One more question, could you tell me the model number of your battery?
