Hello. I flashed a Sprint LG G2 to PagePlus. The Flash goes well and All my items stick. But the problem is the connection is unstable. I'm noticed with both the LS970 and LS980 the same problem happens. The mobile data will first connect with 1x then to Evdo. Then the network will disconnect. I flash phones to pageplus all the time and they all have 3G - EVDO. But the unstable 3G is crazy. It will not stay connected. Why are the new LG phones like this? Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? I look forward to people's reply because I know a lot of people have run into this problem. Thanks in advanced.

Hello. Absolutely! That's my personal phone! Just make sure when you flash it, you leave the SIM card in the phone. 3g data works, mms, etc. Good luck.
I have a VZW G2, and want tot ale mine to page plus but I can't find info on flashing anywhere... Can you direct me?

The flashing method is same for all phones. Doesn't matter what kind. I'll give you a good starting place. Viper32 has a forum on here helping people with flashing. And there are plenty of forums with a ton of info. Good luck.
this g2 has been a nightmare for me. i have gotten used to samsung just flash and forget about it, only thing break flash on them is ota. this g2 though..... :/
I'm having same issue. unstable 3g
Sprint probs
What happened with mines is similar but I had the att variant
So I flashed mime to sprint and it worked but only on their 1x network and 3g towers in order for 4g to work and there new spark network I had to get a Sim card and pop it in and boom 4g LTE worked the sec I put it in

Any issues with losing call history at all, after flashing it to PagePlus?

No. Call history has nothing to do with flashing. The only way you can lose call history is if you factory reset the phone or you personally delete the call history yourself.

Actually its a known issue with this phone, that it looses its call history when flashed.
It has something to do with the Stock ROM release
I have the same issue.
Also I get a "MIP : 89" error sometimes.
Also, I have a system update downloaded waiting to install but not sure if it'll kill my flash so I've been scared to hit the button.

Is your phone the LS980? I had a customer who updated his LS980 this past week and I had to re-flash his phone. You'll probably have to re-flash as well.

If this should go in Q&A Please moderator move for me.
After i got the KitKat update it has been downhill from there.
Little by little knock on stopped working. now it does not work at all.
I have doner factory resets several times and nothing seems to fix this.
Is it a hardware issue or software issue?
Is it the proximity sensor???
I am out of ideas.
I am considering switching to either the Galaxy S5 or HTC M8.
Has anyone of you experienced this problem and if so, is there a fix??
I have searched and read many threads here and nobody has a fix.
Completely Frustrated.

Dear i am also facing the same issue, my knock off is working perfectly but now knock on doesn't seems to work, i become really frustrated done wipe cache, hard reset and now completely messed up everything.
Actually knock performance keeps on deteriorating for me after kk update and now yesterday i got another update D802B and knok on messed up, now i had to use power button to turn my screen on, really frustrating.
As far as my opinion LG G2 is a phone with good hardware and ****ing software.

This happened to me where knock off would work but wouldn't come back on. Started when I installed custom recovery while on kk, fix was the flash the kdz.
I've avoided custom recovery since then.

So I've been getting kind of angry that T-Mobile hasn't updated the phone to KitKat and I tried something on my own. Flashing the MetroPCS KitKat software version on my device via Odin. Guess what? It worked. The only thing was that after it updated all the apps, it installed some MetroPCS bloatware. I don't mind that but this is awesome that I was actually able to install the SGH-T399N software on the SGH-T399. Try it for yourself and let me know how it went for you.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that would brick my phone since that's for the SGH-T399N. I have the SGH-T399. Oh and BTW I know they are both pretty much the same, but if I were to flash that, it would probably screw up.

I bet you can port KK to this if you have a stock rom and metro's stock rom with Kitchen.

there's a metro KK stock rom zip you can google it.

If you don't see enough development for this phone now and don't want to wait, then don't buy it. Don't flash something not made for your phone unless you have a backup.
Other than that the phone has a well balanced spec sheet for the price.

Hi,
I already asked this question in context of another ROM but got no helpful reply.
Now I flashed completely fresh newest stock L720VPUGPI2_L720SPTGPI2_SPR and I still have this prompt.
This was tested on two different carriers, but this screen is the same. Carrier support says it's exclusively phone issue, however I didn't find any SIM-related option in settings.
How to suppress this screen?
what are you trying to do? use it on another carrier? or is it a sprint sim in the phone?

Youd be surprised... I usually live in the G900P forum, and trust me, youll see all kinds of SMH stuff.
If you have TWRP, your bootloader is ususally unlocked as it required an unlocked bootloader. Locked ones are relegated to things like safestrap. You can flash a ROM made for the international version of your phone, just dont Odin flash something not made specifically for your phone. Have you ever tried a CM11 ROM?

Not on this device. CM11 seems obsolete for me, as it is KitKat-based. Moreover it is dead now and development is halted, so installing it seems not reasonable to me.
Cm doesn't have updates anymore, but its still quite viable

Just for info: after I switched off SIM lock prompt on Exodus ROM, it disappeared on all ROMs. Even the most odious Sprint stocks. So, bless to you, Exodus
It seems that this setting is hidden somewhere in hardware engineer menu, and unfortunately ROM devs don't bother revealing it to the user via GUI.

I still have the original out of the box version file on my computer. I have updated my phone to the DE version. This is way different than the Note 5 firmware. I think I'm going to play with it this weekend to see if I can revert back to original stock though I'm not expecting a miracle. I'm hearing people can revert back but I'm not that interested in it until I need to be. I'm kind of disappointed that we don't have root and unlocked bootloader just yet but oh well. . it happens.
Bluetooth issues
I use my S8 with LG HBS1100 bluetooth headset and sometimes they disconnect... SOmetimes I can talk through whatsapp with the phone/speaker but not through bluetooth.
I also have the S8 connected to my Civic 2016 and it disconnect sometimes.
Tmobile signal/network is also very poor in some areas were I know are low but more noticeable.
I'm comparing these with my previous iphone 7+ S7 Edge and S8+.
I hope it improves with the update
I noticed my bluetooth acts wonky when I have any other wifi/bluetooth device active nearby. I did some testing with my work Iphone 7 and i get bad hickups in audio when its bluetooth or wifi is on in my car, when i turn it off, everything works fine.
