Have your phone provider changed. If you're on a prepaid style provider, go see the seller. If it's new, contact LG

Thanks for fast reply.
So, my phone came with problem right? Doesn't have solution?

Yeah I've never seem that. I've seen phones being blocked because they have been blacklisted by the carrier but your case seems like something else

I would advise to take the phone to the person/shop whom you bought it from.

Thanks all.
Very weird i will contact the store to have another g2 without problems.
But if anyone know my problem and have solution please post here.

I don't think there is a home-made solution, but that the phone has to be either replaced or unblocked with a service box.

Unable to See Ads

I don't know if this is a hyperdrive setting I cannot find or some reject of rooted phones or what but whenever I am in any browser (stock, mozilla,. Puffin, dolphin) if I click on one of the ads at the top of a search list (bing, google, doesn't matter which search engine) I cannot connect to the ad. I get the message below. It's like some sort of ad blocker is engaged but I don't know where or how to shut it off. Please help if you can. Thanks!

I ended up running an app called adblock unblocker and it seems to do the trick.

I tweeted vzw asking about the new lte band coverage in my area. they tweeted back a link with the map. i couldn't open it because it is considered an ad. I did want to open it. When I specifically try to open a link I don't want it to be blocked. Blocking. pushed ads is great. Ads within apps I ignore anyway. No need to block an ad I want to open.

Are there any issues with buying an X Play from a carrier? (XT1563 model)

I'd like to get one and my easiest way of acquiring one is through a local carrier, but I'm worried if it will have some kind of pitfall. Will I stop getting updates? Will they be slow to arrive? Can it be turned to a stock pure version without the bloatware via a stock rom? Is it worth it? Keep in mind it's the XT1563 latin american version. And the carrier is Nextel.

I bought mine from Mercadolibre (XT1563), I wasnt aware I got the double sim version until I opened it, it seem mine runs with the iusacell rom.
I have been asking my self the same questions.

Updates may be a bit slower to come out. As for bloatware, the only one I found on my Koodo device was the Koodo Self Serve app.

I got mine through Telus, it doesn't have anything extra (Telus bloatware). Updates come in not to bad from them (timely).

Do you try 4g LTE networks with other carriers like Telcel?

Yup, 4G works really nice, at least on Telcel network in my area.

Screen Surface Area Comparisons

Alas the S8 and S8+ have messed up our understanding of phone sizes....
Apparently 6.2 inches may not mean as screen real estate as one might have thought given the aspect ratios.
Is it possible to work out the screen surface area of various phones so that true comparisons can be made?

See if this helps or further confuses the issue.

Hello everybody!
The cuestion is, I have a moto G4 plus xt1641 "single sim" Android 6.0 stock rom and rooted, installed TWRP and ElementalX as custom kernel, today I opened my moto g because my speaker has an issue, I fixed quickly....when I start to closing I saw a second sim slot that was hidden all this time.
I want to convert it in a dual SIM moto because I have 2 Sims and is so stressed changing the sim card everytime that I need it.
I have investigated everywhere about the process to make this change and I only find a tutorial of a moto z play where this really works, I did not make the process, because before I went to root system files, to the "fsg" carpet, but I couldn't find a similar "athene" file like Addison_dsds_2.img.gz or adisson_dsds_row.img.gz, i have "athene_dsds_3.img.gz...dsds_4....dsds_5...etc." any body has a method to make possible my petition?
Help please!
