LG V20 available through VZW starting Oct. 20th. - LG V20 Questions & Answers

http://www.droid-life.com/2016/10/17/verizon-lg-v20/

I bet all carriers release before 28th

Why is pricing such a secret with this device? So weird.
Can't wait to get this in my hands soon! I love the V10 so far (it's a loaner device between the Note 7 and V20) and know I'll love the V20 even more!

Yeah can't wait for it either. I'm coming from the Note 7. Hate giving up this device but the V20 looks like a great phone.

As a long time Verizon customer, I knew it was only a matter of time until they released the V20, as they first wanted to have a push for the Pixel exclusivity.
Still, would like a bootloader unlocked device that can at least be rooted.
It would also be nice is Verizon had a nice deal like what Tmobile is doing.

Verizon is definitely doing the deal with getting the free pair of headphones but it's to be seen if they will sweeten the deal like Tmobile.

According to various forums and here, the V20 is arriving at doorsteps today for many T-mobile customers. I am jealous, they just started the pre order and I pre ordered mine a week ago with AT&T and may not see it until next week

Can't wait for Verizon to get their pre order up. I'm pretty sure I'm ordering it. This being posted from my note 7. Like many others I don't want to get rid of this phone but oh well. LG v20 looks like a good replacement.

All deals that Tmo is doing can all be traced back to being LG deals. The headphones, tablet bundle and even the making sure devices are given a minimum $200 trade in value.

So from the looks of it, the best deal is for T-Mobile as they are also getting a $200 trade in credit for any working 4G phone and a free tablet, in addition to the B&O Earbuds. Verizon is just the Earbuds (which all carriers are doing). Best Buy is doing a $200 BB Gift Card.

Guess what? Another carrier only stocking 32GB Blue in store: Sprint

http://www.androidauthority.com/sprint-32gb-midnight-blue-nexus-6-565656/
Makes me wonder what the heck is going on that carriers would intentionally gimp their inventory like this.
Will they have the 64GB version available online from sprint?
sprint usually only sells the 32gb variant of these celebrity phones.
Its not a official source. Google didn't over produce the "Blue" ones as they can't even keep them in stock so there is no surplus. This is a bust article from a bust reddit post.

God I hope so. I can't afford to buy one straight out without it being subsidized.

Wouldn't matter anyway. If Sprint's getting limited stock my experience with the One M7 would suggest they won't sell outright; you'd need to be a new customer or upgrade on contract.

That's what I'm trying to do. Returned my Note 4 after 8 days because it was announced they would be carrying it. Was looking to get it at the contract renewal price, but if they're only going to carry the blue 32 (I want the white 64), then I may just go back to the Note 4 (or even switch carriers) as I can't afford to buy the phone outright for Play Store or Moto. Oh well. We'll see how true it is.

Yea I bought mine outright...I'm not thinking I'll stay on Sprint another 2 years considering how awful their coverage continues to be.
Also If I'm overseas, I can just plop a nano-sim in a single device.

That's the way I'm leaning also. By the time I save up for it, maybe it will actually be available to purchase from the play store. I'll just take it to whatever carrier I like.

Catch being with carrier devices...who knows what the FCC final rules on carrier-locked devices will be come the new year. Presuming that carrier sold Nexus 6s will end up being carrier locked (for duration of contract or what have you).

Yeah. I was meaning buying it outright from the play store and deciding where I want to take it.
Very frustrating if this is true.

Yeah, last year Sprint only carried the 16GB Model of the Nexus 5. I end up getting the 32GB model from the Playstore but was unable to insure it through Sprint. I honestly expect the same this year. As bad as their bleeding customers you would think they would offer more variety. If I have issues activating my 64GB variant this will push me over the edge & I'm going to T-Mobile

Returning G4 (810)

The LG G4 is one of the best phones I have owned. I truly appreciate it, however it has some nagging issues with carrier restrictions and as much as I hate to do it, my AT&T 810 G4 is going back. I am not happy about it, and may pick up an international (815) one soon, but I decided this one was going back.
Why Send it back?
No Root, No Bootloader Unlock
AT&T Bloatware
AT&T Disabled FM Radio
AT&T OTA pushes
Leather back felt cheap, and I could not find a good case to fit it
Nexus 5 2015
This is a great phone, and I have nothing against functionality or performance.
Whats Next?
Returning to my trusty HTC One M7 (For Now)
See what happens with the Nexus 5 2015
Might pickup an LG G4 815 International
Wait and see where developers go with unlocking the G4

Root and unlock will happen, the leather back I have feels high class (t-mo brown) you can freeze bloat with de-bloater tool (all mine is) I dont use the radio (too many apps to use it, plus some of them have local radio) ota-cant help that... I'll most likely get the Nexus 5 as. Well....while keeping this phone.....you did admit its a great phone!
OP has all fair points. Not mad.. but sorry to see you go.

Looks like you need to buy a phone full price, no carrier BS.
Sorry to see you go, but I completely understand. I have seen things in this forum that US carriers do to that phone and I have no idea WTF they are thinking.
As for root, I have faith.:good:
Sadly, mine's going back as well. As much as I like the phone, there are currently too many things that annoy me. I'm with Verizon, so the missing apps started me out on the wrong foot. Then throw in LG and/or Verizon not honoring the $100 GB of Google Drive storage as promised, and the touchscreen issues. Finally, I got a notice from Verizon and my bill went up $23 instead of dropping a couple bucks which two Best Buy reps assured me it would. I spoke to a Best Buy manager, and they agreed to return the phone a month after I purchased it (as well as cancel the Edge plan).
All in all, it's a great phone but it's not significantly better than my trusty G3 (slightly better CPU, camera, battery etc...) enough to offset the additional expense. I have a bunch of accessories for the G4 that I'm holding onto, so I'll probably pick one up further down the road. I'd opt for the international version for obvious reasons. I assume that the unlocked version will work fine on a CDMA network with the proper set-up.
UPDATE: Nope... I guess I'm keeping it. After two Verizon reps assured me that I could cancel my Edge agreement, when the time came to do so the rep I got said in no uncertain terms that it wasn't going to happen. So even though Best Buy admitted that they screwed up and offered to return the phone AND twice Verizon said otherwise, I'm now told that I would have to buy out the remainder of the contract. I can't complain too much, since I got the $100 Best Buy gift card and Verizon kicked in a $145 bill credit for the mistake.
Unlocked International won't be a good idea..... As long as Verizon doesn't transition to full LTE and still uses CDMA till 2017, this won't work as voice won't go over GSM...
Actually holding back from the G4 because of those as well. Let's see what this year's Nexus have to offer and probably the OnePlus Two as well.
I did the same. Unless there is a viable unlock + root option no LG G4 for me!

Yep, I am waiting to. I may head back to LG4 if there is an unlock and root option.
I can certainly respect your decision, even if I would not do the same thing. Sorry that you did not get as much out of your G4 as you were expecting that you would, I just hope you can find a phone that fits your needs and you can have more fun with.
BTW - That Nexus 5 2015 does sound pretty promising, if you pick one up be sure to let me know how it is.
im in the same boat, Att H810 have the least number of bands out of all G4 variants, so I can't get data even when I unlock the phone to use in Asia.
But I am already past my 14 days period so fml.

Call recorder. This is a must have app for everyone who interacts with any business at all. They're always going to record your call for 'quality assurance', which automatically gives you the right to record it as well (at least in California) without informing them. Always good for CYA situations like this.

Any Sprint users?

I received the $100 off email yesterday. But I'm on Sprint. And I can't select Sprint on the pre-order site, so I haven't ordered the phone yet.
Has anyone pre-ordered a Sprint phone yet?
It hasn't even been announced when pre-orders will take place.

Me too, contacted Sprint, no tentative date of release. They need to get the ball rolling.
I'm waiting as well.
I must admit, I've been very excited for the release of this device. I've been a big fan of HTC since the Hero days and am still quite happy with and impressed by my trusty M7. The release of the 10 has, in my opinion, been nothing short of dismal. As evidenced by Samsung and even LG, you need to have your product available when the hype is at its peak. I'm really optimistic that the 10 will be worth the wait (despite not being water resistant, which would have put the thing over-the-top) but in this day and age people don't like to wait and with so many other great options available a struggling company can't afford to miss out on even one potential sale...
Totally agree. Should have been available at announcement.
Verizon is the #1 Carrier and seems to sell the most phones for HTC so I have no doubt that they were the first because of that. Back on the M8 sprint got the only harman kardon edition and I am think they didn't sell as many as HTC would have liked. HTC is trying to fix their profit problems in the US and one way to do that is to make Verizon happy. The sprint version will come. We already know a t-mobile phone will come as they did an un-boxing yet no announcement and I would assume its because Verizon rigged the game to be first. ATT won't sell it probably because they don't care to, they know people that want the phone want an unlocked/unlocked bootloader and will pay for it and they are possibly fine with that. Plus I assume they have have a better deal with Samsung and Apple where they make more money per phone sold. I will say it is sad to see that the unlocked version wont work on sprint, I think you can blame Verizon for that. This is only my opinion but verizon is opposed to unlocked bootloaders we all know, but since its CDMA it would be eaiser for HTC to make one "CDMA version" of the phone for both Verizon and sprint. It is still unclear if the unlocked version will have CDMA bands my guess is it wont. If it has CDMA the unlocked version has band 13 and should work on Verizon. That would be a big disappointment for sprint users since it does not have the 25, 26, 41 LTE bands. I am just glad I will be on ATT now...
I should add Verizon always gets their way, I cant wait till they day that stops but until then bye bye.
Really surprised there's not even a sign of when pre-orders are going to start yet. All the hype will be gone by the time that date arrives....

Yea, I mean I know it's first world problems, but I need a new phone and I want the new HTC.
saw a email (addressed to someone else) from a marketing VP @ HTC which said the sprint option would be available on htc.com on 5/11...take that with a grain of salt...it didn't mention if the option was to buy or pre-order, though you'd think by then it should be the option to buy!
Let's hope so

Still too far away, lol. Hopefully pre-orders start soon. Thanks for the info though.
So, no contract renewals for 199$ ?
We are expected to pay for the phone AND stay with Sprint using a phone that cannot be transferred to any other GSM network?
Somehow, GSM carriers are now looking good.
I have been with sprint since they kitted out as Sprint. Hope the above is not the only option.

Consider T-Mobile if the coverage works in your area. It's super fast in most big cities, the plans are reasonable and they are modding friendly.
But T Mobile will not have OMJ

Note 7 v2 being investigated for a possible recall on the new V2 Note7

This is so sad as soon as T-mobile let me take this this back I'm going to return my (Replaced v2 Note7) for my money back and maybe buy a used s7 edge til the Note8.
Sprint and AT&T already is letting customers return the newly replaced v2 Note7 for a full refund.
http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/7/13196456/sprint-galaxy-note-7-replacement-exchange
http://bgr.com/2016/10/07/galaxy-note-7-exchange-refund-sprint-t-mobile-att-verizon/
Sprint
Sprint was the first carrier to announce unconditional replacements for any customers with a Note 7. “If a Sprint customer with a replacement Note 7 has any concerns regarding their device, we will exchange it for any other device at any Sprint retail store during the investigation window,” a Sprint representative told Recode.
The return policy will presumably get customers the full retail price of the phone towards another device, and given the big sticker price on a Note 7, customers should be able to pick up just about any other smartphone.
T-Mobile
While T-Mobile doesn’t have a specific policy in place for Note 7 devices, the company also told Recode that customers with a Note 7 can use T-Mobile’s standard 14-day “remorse” policy to return or exchange their phone. The 14-day period starts from when customers picked up their replacement Note 7 devices, so most people should still be covered under that window.
AT&T
AT&T followed Sprint’s lead, telling The Verge that customers with a Note 7 can bring their phones into a store and exchange them for any other smartphone. There’s no specified window on how long you have to bring your device in, but given the ongoing investigation by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, it’s not likely to end any time soon.
Verizon
Verizon hasn’t fully outlined its exchange program, but it has committed to exchanging devices. In a statement, a Verizon spokesperson told BGR “for any Verizon customer concerned about the safety of their replacement Note7 smartphone, they will be able to exchange it for an alternate smartphone. We will provide additional details later today.”
T-Mobile is allowing it too.

Cool thx, I'm going to return then.
I'm going to wait and see if turns out to be a second recall. Looks like the carrier are getting jump on it maybe they know already there's going to be another recall. If they do recall it again you can forget about software updates from the carriers. Now I have to decide if I want to get the LG V20 or go back to the iPhone SE if they do a 2nd recall. Battery life on that little phone was awesome. Only phone I managed to get 1 1/2 days of usage before having to charge it. What a ride from the anticipation of receiving the device to this now. At least I got 2 256gb memory cards out of this ordeal.
ATT may stop selling the Note 7
http://www.technobuffalo.com/2016/1...-in-unprecedented-move-following-latest-fire/
keeps getting worse for the Note 7. If that happens most likely the rest of the carriers will follow through.
Wow this sucks, theres no other phone that I like out there right now either. Pixel looks nice but no sd cards kills it for me, the 4k will eat up the sd card, even with unlimited cloud storage. v20 is eh.... and iphone 7... well its an iphone...
Wow I just got my replacement today lol. I'm hoping it's just a one off that exploded I really like this phone and I don't want an official recall on V2.
The Pixel is the only other choice for me too but I don't think the camera on the Pixel will produce the depth that the note 7 does and I love those deep looking shots.
Just returned the Note7 v2 for a full refund. Using an LG G3 as a temp phone for now, tired of all these crap.
Welp, time to return my V2, and get another replacement Note 7, and do the 256GB SD Card trick again :'D. Then return that for a $50 restocking fee and get the Pixel.... /sarcasm
or was it?
I got mine the other. Everything is perfect, which I'm quite surprised lol. Did a back up restore and I thought it would get hot and it didn't. It wasn't even laggy while downloading and installing my apps. I seriously hope there is no recall. This phone just rocks at least for now.

It's over. Even if all three are proven to be false or another recall happens and they actually get it right, no airline will ever let you carry a note 7 again. Even if you get past security the little ***** sitting next to you will probably freak and scream you brought a bomb on the plane.
The average person thinks every phone is a iPhone or a Galaxy, you honestly think they will believe your device is safe if they find out it is a note 7?
If tmobile had any class they would give us at the very least our previous pre upgrade phone free of charge until the next note or whatever you decide to upgrade to. Instead many of us will be forced into buying a phone we don't want, wasting a Jump, etc.

I agree. I wish I could go back to August and just not buy the phone. I traded in my s7 edge and paid $180 to upgrade early. Not to mention the deposit for 2 notes. I will never see that money again. So I can get another s7 edge and be out the cash I paid to upgrade early and have to start back at payment number 1 out of 24. Feel like a rape victim from law and order.

LG V20 Sprint pre-orders?

Just pre-ordered mine. Let's hope the bootloader is unlockable like T-Mobile's or it's bye bye sprint for me!
Just ordered mine as well Sir!!
This will replace my Note 4.
I just hope it really turns out to be the phone every youtube reviewer says it is
Agree. Would like to know before shelling out $850 with tax and 15% restock fee if I want to return it. Been spending a lot of time on t-mobile site looking at plans over the past week just in case.
Saw your work on the N7. Good to see you're here too.
My hunch is that it's locked down. Hope I'm 100% wrong.

Preordered this morning. Got a big old rebate for being with Sprint too long. After all it's said and done... Final cost to me should be$340 no contract over 24 months
I went in to the store to preorder and left with a brand new v20 in hand. Pretty nice surprise.

Can you check to see if the bootloader is unlockable?

How do I do that? Pretend I'm a moran and make the steps painfully exact.
Just returned from corp store and they had it in stock and sold one to me.
ETA: you probably don't have to pretend... I'm just spoiled from years of Odin on my N2
Same here, pre ordered today.
Went from the Note 7, then bought a Nexus 6p.
Figured I'd take a shot at LG for the very first time. Hearing the BL is locked is sort of a bummer. Hopefully things will get worked out sooner rather than later.
I went to my local store to pre-order. They had the phones in stock, but wouldn't sell one to me even though I'm still rocking the note 7. They did hold one for me for monday though. Also they're allowing me to trade in an iPhone 4s for the $200 credit.

Just curious, why Monday? Isn't the release date the 28th? Either way, that's awesome man.
I called the store today as ell, but they had none in stock, and told me to call back next Friday lol. Figures.
I'm hoping for a Monday delivery day. Gotta return my 5p tomorrow and activate my incredibly, super old HTC EVO 3D.......Ya baby!
Not sure why Monday but the boss said they were selling them starting Monday. I'm also not sure what difference 2 days makes. I would have been super happy to walk out with a v20 today. The salesmen already had one, but he got yelled at for selling himself one.

I saw v20 stock at my store when I preordered on Friday... But they wouldn't let me leave with one. Stupid Sprint corporate.
I even called and chatted with sprint and they wouldn't do anything for me. They keep sending me texts to trade in my note 7, but wouldn't let when I tried.

Jeez, you think they would have in that case of surrendering your N7. Got rid of mine last week too, super bummed out.
Returned mine. No bootloader unlock sucks
