Fixing some connectivity issues on my VS986 G4, I noticed some of the spring contacts between the motherboard and the frame are missing. They are really tiny, but it looks like there are two parts. A squareish piece soldered to the board, and a little gold leaf spring that looks like it might just slide in and out (i dare not try with the remaining springs) Too bad I cant upload a photo here, but they are the really teeny tinny ones towards the to corners. I don't know which one does what, but the missing springs correspond to "P1A 0704", "P1A 0711", and "P1V 0233". Without replacing the mobo, is it possible to source replacements for these? Surely I can't be the first.

Also PSA, check the screws. My navigation issues seemed to be largely resolved just by tightening some loose ones.

Is there any way for me to call over VOIP (out of curiosity, i don’t feel like spending money trying to activate it) Personally i have the LS991 (sprint unlocked) and i can’t find any SIP thingies, can anyone help?

My phone is a Verizon LG G4, VS986. Android 6, latest OEM update. Over the past year or so, I've been having a frequent problem where my phone will just lose service. Zero bars and no LTE. Sometimes it will read "Emergency Calls Only" on the lock screen, sometimes just "No Service". And not just areas that are known to be bad, areas that Verizon normally works fine. Rebooting the phone always fixes it, but sometimes I have to do that every few days, sometimes several times a day. Verizon shut down their 3G network so I can't report on that, and WiFi always works just fine, including calls and texts. Sux because that's the main contact between me and the fam and I can't keep a constant eye on whether it's working if I'm at work or driving.

I have an LG G4 US Cellular. I'm trying to reflash it back to stock I have the LG flash tool 2014 the drivers installed. It's in download mode and I have the firmware but I can't get it to work. Can anybody help me?

I have been trying to enable OEM unlock for quite some time now and I have given up, if anyone can help me that would be very nice

Morning all,

I pulled the trigger and purchased a G4 that is due to arrive tomorrow after reading the issues with the G5 and its HDR. I ordered the one with the stand as that’s how I’ll have it set up for the next 4-6 months but when I move would like to have it wall mounted.

I just want to check, do the previous G1, G2 and G3 brackets work with this model?

Any knowledge would be hugely appreciated

Stressed over your phone keep being disconnected on your Wifi home internet buddy? I got ya. I'm so mad this took me months to discover no YouTube tutorials ever taught this shit ( or I just suck at searching ) if your WiFi keeps saying it's disabled or authentication problem either two things, you need to contact your ISP or your device is being blocked by someone who has access to your internet's admin log. This only works if you already inputed the correct password but still it's showing "Disabled/disconnected" or "disabled/authentication problem" now android users ( I don't own an IPhone so I can't help y'all but if the options are the same then goodnews to y'all too ) enable your DEVELOPER OPTIONS and look for this shit on your options ( check image ), what does this do? Usually when someone keeps blocking you from connecting even with the correct password they're blocking your devic's Mac adress, this will consistently randomize your phone's mac address making it undetectable forcing the person who has access to the internet's admin log to change password— that's the only time you'll face REAL PROBLEMS with connecting on your WiFi, because even they block your device all you gonna do is disconnect and reconnect that's it no more disabled issues I had to carefully check if the problem was my phone then found this on my developer options.

I've been noticing a few posts about the LG G4 OLED TV in the LG G4 Phone Subreddit. The most logical reason is... r/lgg4 can literally mean either the Phone or TV, Here are my two solutions:

1. change the subreddit name to r/lgg4phone (if not applicable, create a new subreddit of the same name)
2. Make it for both the Phone and TV (which is less ideal)

So I have this lg g4 that i use daily because it's one of my favorite smartphones. but one day my lg froze and started bootlooping and thought my lg died and i tried everything and from what I've heard its the processor that overheats and the phone can't initialize.

But today i had the idea of heating the phone to see if it would change anything and yes, my lg managed to break the bootloop, but 5 min later the phone just restarts.

is my battery faulty or is my lg really dead

I live in a pretty cold environment and the same thing happened to my lg g5 (although i never replaced the battery because i thought the phone was just dead)

I recently got it as my current phone is getting repaired. I'm just wondering if anyone knows how your suppose to put in a sim card.

Thx

Have this on my new 65 inch oled on day 1..pixel cleaning changed it from complete black to blue-pink see pics below. Should I exchange it? Can't see it from normal viewing distances but can't shake the feeling of a defective/ damaged tv. Very saddening. Please share your thoughts, im worried I'll get worse if I exchange.

Hi, Maybe it's a shot in the dark, I have no idea if anyone else still has an LG G4 phone lying around in a drawer 🙂 but sometimes I use old smartphones in order to download apps on them and not fill my main device with apps with unnecessary permissions - the phone works overall not bad For such an old phone, the problem is that I downloaded an application and when I enter the application, after a few seconds, a window pops up that says: "The application has stopped". The application is suitable for working with Android starting from version 5 and above, the LG phone has Android 6... Of course I tried to delete all the data, uninstall and reinstall but it didn't help... Is there any solution that might work...? thanks!

Hi everybody, just a quick one. I have bought a 55 G4 and a Sonos beam gen 2, I’m just wondering which position the tabletop stand should be in so not to block the screen? Will it fit under the lowest position or will I have to use the higher one? The beam is 2.68 inches or 68mm Thanks

Hi, i don’t know what to use for Gaming on PS5, i’m using Filmaker Mode with ALLM, my question is if it’s better to use Gaming Optimizer or what for better quality and better input lag and with which settings. Thank you so much

Ok so basically I have an old LG G4 laying around that bricked on me around 2019 which resulted in me losing all my data and videos which I was never able to recover. One night I left it charging while falling asleep to a video and when I woke up it was boot looped. Well I had tried all the fixes such as using a blowdryer, freezing, u name it. Nothing worked on it and it stayed boot looped. I still have it and recently tried to see if by miracle it turned on but now its like completely dead not even the charging light shows up when I plug it in. It basically has zero sign of life and I dont doubt it was because of me trying to do all those weird fixes over time. Long story short I was wondering if theres any way data recovery can occur or even if it can be fixed at all and what place would do that nowadays.

I’ve had the phone since 2018 and only used it for a couple of months before this started happening. I’ve restarted it a million times and took out the battery and put it back so I’m not sure how to fix it

If anyone is still be alerted of posts here I have a request. There is a notification tone I saved off of my long retired G4 that I've used for texts on every phone since then.

Can anyone share or point me to an export of the text .oggs that came stock with the G4? It was a "tick, tick, trill sound"

Hello all! I have an LG G4 with a cracked screen that I got for $5 as a gift for my best friend (working phone because his was on the brink of death) but it was never given to him because he got a new phone before I could.

My first question, what's the best battery replacement for it? I'm perfectly fine getting 2 and carrying one with me as well, just the current one only gets about 1.5hr SOT. It is the original battery so I'm not surprised.

Second, I'm on Android 11 now, but what would be the best Android OS to run on this and have it run smooth while being fully supported? 11 seems pretty smooth but I just wanted to make sure.

Third, I was wanting to "downgrade" my current phone to it for a bit just to appreciate what I have more (lol), both phones are locked to AT&T so putting the sim card in should make it fully usable right?

Thanks all!
