Tips for the G4 - G4 General

I received the LG G4 USA edition late last week as part of their influencer program. Here are some tips I have recorded for those new to the G4. Many of these features are available in the G3. I am getting accessories already and will post them in the appropriate threads.

Should I buy it today?

Hi, the title is pretty self explanatory... Would you recommend me this device today?
I'm needing a new phone. I'm using a near dead Xperia S.
My budget and availability isn't great, so I was between this, a Moto G 2014, Moto X 2013 and a Xperia Z1. Given the specs the One is my main choice.
I would like to know how reliable and/or customizable the Oneplus One is... I just need to know that and I'm pretty much sold.
Thank you

lg g4 wiki.

I initiated the first page http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/LG_G4. I think it needs a bit of a workover from some more seasoned G4 users.
Are wiki's antiquated these days?
I added regional variants, I think they are probably all correct.

AT&T/LG to release KDZ & TOT

Hi all,
I'm contacting AT&T and LG Mobile to force them to release the KDZ and TOT for our LG G5.
I had thought about starting a petition for it, what do you guys think about it?
Anyone had luck with getting some answeres that might end up with AT&T releasing these files?
BTW, I used to own a Motorola Milestone in the past, and some forum member succeeded on cracking Motorola's bootloader, maybe he will help us here as well (I had PM him about this topic, let's hope he will give it a shot).
Thanks,
Mor

16.4.17 - petition link had been added : https://www.change.org/p/lg-electro...utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink
Please, help us spread the word, it's a petition for all LG G5 devices, not only AT&T's one.
Meanwhile, I'm trying my luck reaching out for more assistance within AT&T and LG focal points.
I will sign the petition if you make one
I contacted them about this and they said that LG has the firmware, the I contacted lg and they said ATT has it, so i don'tknow
Kinda good news.
Yesterday I spoke with "oneclickroot" support team and tried figuring out if they will try to assist with rooting our LG G5.
The dev support APPROVED that they are working on it and it will take some time (crappy AT&T and Nougat's security).
About the petition, before I'm opening one, anyone else got some other ideas?
Thanks,
Mor

Yes, kidnap senior AT&T exec and hold them for ransom. I'll bet we'd have root within 24 hours.
Ha ha, seems like a plan.
But, I'll pass this offer and try other ideas
Well, I had draft the initial petition design.
I need your help dear community to sharpen it.

Last year, the LG G5 was released to the market.
Tons of new features, top notch SOC and the first flagship that offered HW modification.
All the community of developers and end users was happy and excited to create ROMs, kernels etc.
But, unfortunately, LG with cooperation with the massive Carriers agreed to lock the bootloader​.*
A year later, only two variets received the unlocked bootloader and all the rest left behind with a dying LG G5 community.
Our demend is that LG will unlock the bootloader and provide a TOT tool. Let us be free of the locked garden chain!
---
Let me know what do you think about it.
*UPDATE!*
Petition had been published - please spread the word.
there are a lot of LG G5 users, let's try to make a change - together we can make it.

We might can get a bootloader unlock.. But we WONT get a TOT/KDZ directly from LG or AT&T. Remember all those files are only meant INTERNAL use only. LG doesn't publicly post these files.

You think we will get the bootloader unlock?
this phone is dead while another variants are celebrating their freedom
Signed.
My big mistake I bought an at&t variant. I was thinking its a USA based model and will be better than others. I was totally wrong. Never ever buy a phone on at&t contract. Worse choice ever I selected.
I am too thinking that It's a big mistake I bought an at&t variant.
Why AT&T not releasing Stock Roms etc. Whyy
