Yeah I don't think there is a way yet. I hope the verizon version sells well. I got mine for $99 on contract. I felt like that was a deal. I like it a lot. Of course, that crazy note 12 caught my attention with it ridiculous screen but $750 on contract? No way.
This thing for $99 is a great deal. Your paying the retail off over two years and also get 4G. I am happy as hell with this tablet.

How's the battery life? My galaxy 7.7 had terrible battery life even in airplane mode. Yes I mean the VZW 7.7. I won't but carrier tablets anymore since the wifi models get all the community support.

Battery life has been great for me so far. Also, FWIW, got mine for $75 shipped overnight. I'm a Business customer and the rep jumped through hoops for me. How could I pass it up?
Its great. 3+ hours screen time off charger for 17.5 and have 46% left.

Ok, I ran an Antutu Benchmark on my new VZW LG G Pad 8.3 and the result is 19327.
That is lower than a Sony Xperia Z, Note 2, HTC One and very nearly the same perfomance as a Galaxy S3. Games hitch and falter and navigating between homescreens is not fluid.
Is this really how this tablet is supposed to perform? From the reviews, I expected it to be more fluid than a Nexus 7.

I tested about the same as you. My note 2 scores higher. The G pad seems really jerky when navigating around.

I havent tried yet because I just figured out how to get adb to connect today. You dont want to be on mtp but under pc connection you want to tick internet and then modem and NOT mtp to get adb access to the VZW LTE edition of the G Pad

I spent 2 hours yesterday trying to get ADB detected--changing drivers 20 times, etc. Your advice worked great!!.
All of my other devices are rooted, so I'm i withdrawal on this VZW Gpad. The guy at Verizon laughed when I told him what a nice device it was if it weren't for the nearly 100 apps running on it. He said that means we that many partners paying us for the installs.
I have tried the following with no luck:
kingo root_gpad.zip package: initially gave an error saying cannot mount as read-write. it did copy and install superuser, but when running superuser it gave an error updating binary.
adb reboot bootloader reboots with the android error logo, but volume up+power or volume down+power did not bring up any menu options http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575783
Reeeaaallly hoping this gets a root soon. I think it can really be improved with a tiny little overclock and clean 4.4.
I look forward to seeing some dev action (and donating to them, of course) for our new LG-VK810's. My GF surprised me with one of these this past weekend and it's the perfect size between my Nexus 7 2013 and my HP Touchpad.
I just picked up my VZW LG G PAD today and immediately came home ready to root. I see no method is yet available for our variant yet? Does anyone know of any method currently available to root yet?

To get the proper de bugging make sure u select the ethernet selection and not modem..
Wouldnt detect my device under modem....but did when on ethernet..
But cant install a custom recovery....tried TWRP and CWM..

I used Kingo Root also and according to Root Ckecker and ES File Explorer I am indeed rooted but according to the Kingo Application everytime I connect it still says i'm not rooted and click to begin root process. Another thing is I was connected through modem and not ethernet to get Kingo to run.
It says you're rooted...but can you remove bloat using titanium backup...if we can do that I'll be happy for a long while until we get other options.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
The Kingo root method from my understanding and research is controversial within the script it contains when applying root to your device. I personally am staying away from it until an alternative method is made available to properly root the VZW edition of the LG G PAD. As badly as I am ready to root my tablet and start flashing away, I'm remaining cautiously optimistic with that particular method.

Hello,
I have s3 on Verizon and I will be moving over to att soon. I want to know where the correct root for att s4. Reading all of threads has me overwhelmed.
First thing I would root then install custom recovery back up and finally select any Roms only for att.
Thanks!
Sent from my SM-T310 using xda app-developers app
Right now buying an s4 from att will have the MF3 update on it, and right now there's no known root method for it unless you already had the phone rooted before the update. I'm running the non-rooted with MF3 and its been really good but then there's been times where I want to root just to tether. But the S4 is really a great phone to have with the 13 mp camera I could of never taken any pictures like I have with my iphone. Great speed, battery life, SD card slot for more storage also can replace the battery quickly.

This is not for sure as there is obviously a large amount of s4's sitting in warehouses and stores that were shipped before the mf3 update. So I would just make sure that you turn the phone on for the 1st time without the sim inserted to prevent the push update to mf3 then root/install recovery and flash a custom rom. Chances of you getting an mf3 phone now after only a week of it being out is very slim.

Do any of the apps from the market work to bypass the check? Like WiFi hot spot. I need to be able to tether. Seeing how no root or unlock. Can someone try this and test?
Also if it pops up and says Verizon you need subscription try just hitting the home button to close the message and see if it activates.

Odds are, FoxFi will work. Few devices don't work with it. Root will most likely happen hours after the devs get the device. DesignGears has a root for ATT's GN3, and with our Odin file, someone should be able to port that to verizon in a very short time.
I appreciate the reply bang, but I'm with black hat and it would be great if someone who has theirs can check and confirm with certainty. I know I can just wait until I get mine tomorrow but if someone can give us a heads up it would be wonderful. It's one of the biggest features for me.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
Well, it comes down to when/if we get root. With root, all of the tethering apps SHOULD work. Without, only FoxFi may. Pop over to the ATT forums and ask if someone would check out FoxFi to see. Their is gonna be the closest representation to ours until tomorrow.

That's not what is being asked here. We all know what tethering apps are out there. We're looking for confirmation that the Verizon Note 3 can wifi tether.
That works with just a out every phone... It enables less the default hotshot and bypasses activation checker...

Again, with all due respect, we're NOT looking for predictions and "it should work".
Just a simple question. Can someone who actually OWNS the Verizon Note 3 just confirm that it works or doesn't work.
If someone gets me a framework-res.apk ill tell you if its possible to natively bypass the check or permanently disable it.

Have you tried to hit the Home button on that message instead of hitting OK? It should keep the WiFi tether active with FoxFi. Saw this trick, I think on the AT&T N3 board.

Take the plunge and root the device! I purchased mine 2 days ago, bought an unlock code and rooted the device. It was a WIND Mobile version which had LTE crippled (since WIND only supports a MAX speed of 4G). I installed the Telus firmware (ROM) and enabled the regional carrier settings to enable the LTE radio band. I have no regrets!
Well went to download cf auto root then i see to check for multitouch issue and find out my new baby is sick
That leaves me with two questions
1 is there a fix
2 will it get any worse because as it is it doesn't bother me but if it were to get worse who knows
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
My Note 3 from Telus came region unlocked. I sim unlocked it same day. But i do not have multi touch issues. It registers all 10 fingers and when moving all 10. If u shell out lots of cash best get the best possible. But if it doesnt bother u. Take the plunge. Its worth.

Since the release of 4.4 for the Nexus 7 I've been constantly hitting the update button on my beloved tablet and I have yet to see the coveted update. Is there anyone else that shares this same fate? Am I being impatient?
I know I could root and I've thought about it, actually but I really wanted to see how long I could refrain from crack-flashing every single thing I own. But I might not have a choice since I just read that the Moto X for Verizon is now getting the update.
The fact that any device from Verizon is getting an update before a Nexus is making me nervous that maybe something is amiss with my tablet...
Nothing for me yet.. just updated my MotoX an hour ago though. A Nexus 7 update today would be like having the most awesome Christmas ever...

That was to patch the link sent via messages and when you opened the video it would "harm the system" and if you used hangouts, it would automatically harm it due to hangout opening the video ahead of time for quicker viewing. It was an issue within the core of Android, not the OEM, itself and has been a 'vulnerability' for quite some time but was just exposed not too long ago.
Got the Patch and the 5.1.1 update, good deal.
Please report back the responsiveness and overall feel. I just might make the leap if they got Lolliflop right with this update.

The GPS location error is definitely sprint, had this problem for years where it would put me at Burbank, CA when I live in Las Vegas, NV. However when travelling to a different area of Vegas, that seemed to put me in Las Vegas. Now when at home it puts me at Dana Point, CA. Lol.
I did a test, had at least 20+ apps running, pressed the recent apps key, and it opened immediately. Usually with that heavy activity, I would be waiting anywhere from 15-30 seconds to pop up. One thing I am waiting to see is if it freezes on me. Had a few instances where apps were making the screen not respond. Seems much faster with the update though.

I odined stock unrooted OF5 and it's getting the OTA update now. So that works.
Phone feels much snappier. Recent apps menu opens instantly. Camera seems to open a bit faster.
Are we not going to get RAW support like the newer phones are getting? Thats some BS if not.
