Hello, sorry for this question, but i just recently switched from the ATT tilt 1 and got a G1 from my friend, but its severely messed up and i took it to a repairman, and he said he couldn't do anything about it. I was wondering if i could send it in to HTC or something since there is a 1 year warranty. I did it with my Samsung phone which i got from a friend, just wondering if it would work for this G1
Thank you
Depends on what was severely messed up about the device. If it was damage that your friend did, I doubt HTC would repair it for free. (Assuming it is still under warranty. You can call HTC to verify the warranty with the serial number.)
i baught ny g1 off ebay and it was cheap. the buyer said it had connectivity problems... i baught it and tested and it did iin fact have problems. i called
htc wondering the same thing if it had a warrantry or not. surprisingly or not it did... and i told there where i baught it and that i had it unlocked and rooted. they said as long as the void sticker isnt broken,water damage, or dropp damage, or custom roms installed the would fix it...which they did
Should be able to revert to stock and send it in then. That's good news for you.
thank you all! the problem is, lol it doesnt liek even start up, i dont really know how it works, but it vibrates and goes to a bright dark screen and just stays there. There was no physical damage and the sticker is still there, guess i can send it in! wooohoo
Hey guys, I have a simple question which I could not find any answer to(or more accurately I found several conflicting answers to). My friend just bought an LG G2 through AT&T and he wants me to help him set it up(hes fleeing the sinking ship know as the H.M.S. Apple). I heard that the Verizon G2 has a root check and that if you root, then you can never un-root in such a way that it won't stay tripped. I was not able to find out if this is the case with the AT&T variant of the phone. I need to warn him about rooting if it's going to void his warranty. Before I do that I'd probably advise him to sell the G2 right away and use the money to buy a Nexus 5 like I have so he can do whatever the **** he wants to it! :good: So if someone could confirm 100% whether or not the AT&T can be rooted and then returned in case of warranty work or not, that would be great!
Bought a new G2 and it has a slight "problem".
The back of the phone makes a creak noise every time I have it in my hands.
I tried another G2 before and it didn't have this issue.
It's very annoying having paying for a new phone and then seeing it creaks.
¿Can the warranty fix this?
On the shop I bought it all they can do is send it to repair service.
¿Is it worth it or are they gonna tell me it's normal?
Thanks!
Nope, its normal. LG G2 back is terrible
Is this a common issue with the G2?
Does more people have this issue on their G2?
I was under the impression that everyone's G2 does that.. Mine started the first week of ownership.
Hey everyone. Like a lot of people out there, I flocked to the LG G2 when it was released. Instead of waiting for Bell, Telus or Rogers to stock the phone I decided to get ahead of the pack and buy it from an online retailer.
I picked up the phone from a Canadian website called ncix.com . They stocked the international version (D802). I ordered it for $629.99 .
First impressions were good. Its fast, lasts long, and looks beautiful.
Ive been having issues though. It started when the 4.4 update was released. I started having crazy GPS issues. I used to use my GPS all the time in order to find shops around Edmonton.
Now, after the update, I can no longer use navigation or GPS related apps. I can see that this is a widespread issue. Everyone, to one extent or another, experiences this issue on the LG G2.
I tried everything stock related to try and fix it. Tried thick paper under the GPS contacts, tried pulling them up, no use. Tried using status apps to download agps data, still nothing.
So heres the issue: I called LG support about my problem. I told them where I bought it and they tell me it's out of their hands because I didn't buy it from an authorized LG dealer.
My number one question is, if you know your product has an issue, why prevent someone from receiving warranty for a manufacturer issue?
An even bigger question is: why release a phone that you KNOW has an issue?
Does anyone else support my questions?
This is my last LG product now that I know they release unfinished electronics. Also to know that they do not acknowledge that they screwed up and don't support broken products.
Hey, I'm in a similar boat as you, bought second hand and warranty is apparently non transferrable despite being less than a year old.
Anyway, I really do feel this is a software/firmware issue. I posted in one of the other threads but I'll ask you the same....when I use the Munzee (location based game)app and set GPS to always on my GPS notification icon doesn't go grey like it does with google maps and I don't seem to lose signal. I'm just trying to find someone to test my theory because it would confirm (?) that the problem lies in the GPS putting itself to sleep.

Yes gps is suc** in g2 and i am lazy to get the phone to lg dealer because it will take at least 10 days without phone+its rooted and have custom rom and recovery so i need to get back to stock and wipe all data and then take it to them /:
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well, i got a D806, D802 variant, wich is pretty much the same.
So far i didnt step much in stock 4.4 android, i simply updated my D806 to 4.4 to grab cloudyG3 rom and so far no GPS issues. As far as you havent got warranty, have you thought of going into custom ROMS/Kernels?

My advice is it should be your last smartphone or at least last Android smartphone.
What makes you think phones from Sammy, HTC, Sony, ... don't have GPS issue?
Second note: I'm on stock with 4.4.2 and have no issue with GPS.
Third note: are you running the latest firmware? would you do factory reset and see if it gets any better? or you can find a way to reverse back to their original form. Worst case, root, custom recovery and flash some other ROMs and see what happens next.
I bought the phone brand new, not second hand. Also, they told me they would not honor the warranty because ncix is not an authorized dealer, which should be irrelevant knowing that the phone has this preexisting issue.
I'm not interested in rooting or installing custom roms at this time.
I was just trying to help you by display a few options that what you can do. Choose to do it or not, it's your personal choice.
Hi
I have an LG G6 and unfortunately i missed the chance to unlock bootloader. I have bought it in 2018 and still using it, the battery is near the end of life. I am not going to buy a new phone because its still OK for me, i am just replacing the battery soon.
So it came to my mind i might ask here if somebody has his phone with unlocked bootloader with good circuit board and any other part is damaged so he wont be able to use it anymore in the future and is not spending any more money on obtaining spare parts. For example you have damaged display and you wont replace it and you are going to throw it away anyway.
Is there anybody out there who would be willing to gift his circuit board and send to me? I am not mentioning sale because i think its against the forum rules.
I would really appreciate somebody
Thank you
