So I recently received a much-wanted Motorola Moto G 16GB Unlocked this Christmas. I have been using it since and have been very pleased with it. I also own an LG Cosmos 3 on Verizon, which I use for calling and texting. I saw that they had a Verizon Messages app in the Play Store and I looked into it. I got excited when I found out that is was available for Android Smartphones and Tablets. I figured I could finally use it to text everyone (on WiFi, of course!) with my existing phone #, rather than getting a free texting app with some random one. I got it on my rooted KFHD 7" and it works fine. I then tried getting it on my Moto G and kept getting an error message (I attached a screenshot below). Has anyone else ran into this problem? Does anyone know why this is happening or a bypass for it?

Beats me. I have Verizon Messaging installed on my Verizon Moto G and it works fine. Maybe trying to connect with your G that's not registered with a Verizon account, wont let it set up. Understand it works on your KFHD but who knows. Works fine on my G.

Yeah. I e-mailed the dev and they said they currently don't support unlocked phones. I don't need Verizon Messages specifically, just a texting app that let's me send free texts over WiFi on my Moto G that uses my Verizon Phone's number. Any help?

Hi,
yesterday I reverted my tablet to stock in order to find out if QPair works. But when i try to pair it with my Nexus4 (4.2.2) I only get the message that I should update my QPair app on the phone. Did it work for anybody?
Version on the phone is 4.1.31
on the tablet it is 4.1.23

I have the same versión as yours but I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4. The first time I tried to use QPair it didn't work so I rebooted my phone and Tablet and it went ok.
I got an update to 4.1.31 on my tablet and after that it worked without any problems

I couldn't get it to work at all, until I realized that my text message phone app (Textra) was not supported by the GPad. Once i disabled Textra the devices paired right away, and Qpair now seems to be working. Too bad, because i liked the way Textra dealt with group messages to my kids, so that we could each easily see who got the texts, and each one could easily see all the replies and who they went to.
I just received my G-Pad LGE (loving it so far). Unfortunately, after updating q-pair on the tablet and installing qpair on my Verizon Galaxy Note 2, I am receiving the (expected) "Internet via Phone is not available due to carrier or device compatibility" error. My question is this --- is there a rom I can install on my note that will allow internet via phone to work? Ideally I'd like to stay with as close to a stock rom as possible, (stability and no broken features are most important to me). I understand I might need to flash an AOSP rom, and if that is the case, can someone who has a note 2 recommend a stable rom that will work with all the qpair features?
Not sure if this would be better suited on the Note 2 forum, I will move if needed.
Thanks,

This is not a problem with the tablet, If you are looking for a rom for the phone you should try looking in the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 forum of XDA-Dev.

I get the same message with my note 3.
I am on Rogers in Canada though have Tmobile sim in at the moment. I can use wifi hotspot no problem on my phone, so I am not sure why I get the noncompatible message. Maybe it is a feature that works only on LG phones?
The previous user was thinking maybe there was a way to modify something on the tablet to allow a connection as such.
Same thing with Nexus 5
Internet via phone doesn't work with LG G Pro
I have the same issue as those trying QPair with Samsung phones. The difference is I'm trying to use QPair with my LG G Pad 8.3 with a stock rooted ROM and an LG Optimus G Pro with a stock rooted ROM. The G Pro phone has been hacked so that the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot feature works. I can turn it on manually on the phone and join the Wi-Fi network with the tablet. I was hoping that QPair would allow me to turn the phone hotspot on and off from the tablet. That would be a lot easier and save on the phone battery since I'd be more likely to turn the hotspot off when I don't need it.
Is there something in the carrier ROM (my phone is from AT&T) that is preventing QPair from using the phone internet?

What carrier and what ROM are you using?
onotoTm much
did u update the qpair on your lg tablet via the update center , that fixed my issue the first time i tried using the internet feature
Malladus (based on stock). I'm on O2 in the UK.
I did have issues with Qpair at first. If you removed any bloatware, you might not be able to install the updated version.

I can confirm that it appears to work with my GS3 on Verizon. I did get the error you describe at first, but I changed a tethering setting and then the internet would work via the qpair program.
I was able to make the error go away if I had Bluetooth tethering checking on the phone (settings, connections, more networks, tethering is how you get there on a TW 4.3 based phone).
The setup procedure I did (from memory) was to update the qpair program on the table via the update center not the play store, but install the app on the phone via the play store.
Good luck!

I updated the QPair software on my tablet and enabled Bluetooth tethering on my phone and it still says its not supported on this phone due to a carrier policy or an incompatible device. I'm guessing this is because it's an AT&T phone and they have done something to block it.
I have not removed any bloatware from my tablet. I'm pretty sure the issue is the phone, not the tablet. I'll start a new thread in the LG Optimus G Pro forum.
Okay since i last used qpair i have installed at least one new rom on my phone... And it is no longer working... I do not use this feature much. I am not sure which change I did broke it.

If you are using a custom Rom you might need to change the device name in the build.prop to lv510 and reboot and then download the version from the play store

Everything works fine with my Note 3, but need to install Smart Connect (LiveWare Mgr) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware and Messaging Smart Extension https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.extension.messaging, then reboot your Galaxy
Specifically having problem with the twc wifi finder app.
Login screen doesn't give the save and cancel blue buttons. I had no problem with the wifi finder app on LG G2 phone. I think it may be the tablet is either not compatible or its a setting that needs to be changed. emailed with twc, quick response but no fix, so they told me to call 888-851-9530 . Just got off phone with them, still no resolution. They will escalate, in the meantime they gave me the number for LG (and I posted this same question on Time Warner forum page). Have not called, thought id try here first. Thanks.

This is the section for the LG G4, not your tablet.
I didn't know my G4 is 10.1 inches. Why we do need to look for TWC wifi with their crappy app.

The problem I'm having is on my LG Gpad (Tablet). It worked on my LG G2 just find. The Time Warner Cable App is the problem I think. The TWC WiFi Finder app will not download correctly on my tablet. I came here because I was told to call LG, thought this forum would provide a faster solution.
Hey can anyone please help me. I have the LTE att v930 Version and I'm on 10b 5.1.1 I can't get the system update to even show there's an update available. I know I can't install it while rooted but I really want the new number sync feature. You have to have 10d in order to get it. Please Help

Good evening all.
Has anyone with a G4 on VZW noticed issues with apps on wifi since the latest firmware update? I've called Verizon and been on the phone with them for HOURS to no avail.
The only time wifi works normally is in safe mode. When I'm on wifi, most apps just aren't functional at all. We thought it was some app in particular so we reset the phone and the issue persists. The only thing tech support suggests is giving me another refurbished G4 which will get us nowhere as the new G4 will just be running the same firmware.
This is problematic for me as I work in and out of different buildings on any given day. These buildings don't always provide the best reception. I clamored with Verizon for a different, comparable phone. I spoke with LG and their solution is me sending the phone in with the turnaround time being 5-7 business day which is also problematic as I don't have another phone to use. Verizon refuses to acknowledge it's an "issue" because it's not "wide spread". A quick search revealed that this problem is not limited to just me.
I've exhausted my options. I do not want to spend hours on the phone with Verizon again. I do not want to speak with LG for the same phone again. I simply want a working phone. This is the 3rd G4 that I've had that does not work. The 3rd G4 in almost as many months. What are my options here?
tl;dr This is my 3rd LG G4 that doesn't work and the latest firmware update broke the wifi functionality. Verizon refuses to acknowledge the issue and will only give me the same phone, not a comparable phone. What are my options?"
Yup. Since the update. Wifi on my phone is lagging horrendously.

Have you tried to contact VZW?
Yes, since the update I don't get any notifications while connected to WiFi. My WiFi is slow anyway, so I haven't noticed any lag that others are reporting.

I spoke with them again today. Their only option is to send the same phone again which isn't going to fix anything unfortunately.
Same problem here (and also with friends who have both VZW and the G4). This exact issue popped up on the LG G3, also after an update. Infuriating that they broke another otherwise good phone. The workaround is to install an app called DNSet. It sets the DNS to Google's, which fixes it.

I am using DNSet but still curious if it really works. I feel mobile data still more responsive...sigh.

I am having the same issues. doesn't matter which Wi-Fi network I'm on, it is terrible. Otherwise I love the phone, but this is getting really frustrating
Yeah I'm having the same issue. It's maddening!! Nothing comes through unless I manually sync or have to open the app to get it to sync. How is this an acceptable software update for verizon - who usually requires a high level of quality control on software updates??
The Update broke Notifications over WiFi. It has something to do with IPv6. Verizon PULLED the update because this is a major problem.
Either call Verizon and have them replace the phone (you will get the older firmware 11A back on it)
OR
The fix is to download DDNS or something (It is a VPN service) that routes ALL internet traffic over IPv4 connections. I forget the specific name, but it is being heavily discussed in the "VERIZON UPDATE" forum in the General section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/update-verizon-t3221673
Read the thread, I think toward the end more.

Give this solution a shot, and what router (make/model) do you have exactly?
You can fix this issue without root by using the app DNSet from the Google Play store. You hit 1 button (the one and only button), and it turns off IPv6, and problem solved.

I have LG G3 that using FreedomPop and the phone is rooted and has TWRP on it but at this moment it failing in many ways.
I hoping to get this running with MetroPCS soon and I was told that the LTE will work that could be deal breaker as the person at Metro said that LTE wont work so any info on that be appreciated.
The other problems is I been using TWRP to make some recent backups and I get errors installing the last 2 backups so how can I get that to work.
Lastly for the last week I cant use Google Playstore or do any d/ls which is very annoying as this was happening before and the one thing I seen that not working right is the FreedomPop messing app which is required as well as the dialer and voicemail. Setting default messaging does not even see the app that needs to be installed and going through all the FreedomPop diagnostic dont help either.
I have reset the phone few times and no help plus everything else works with like network and dialer and voicemail.
How can get fix the must be bad partition the safest way as I now have no backups that work? My contacts will be restored from play store if needed anyways?
Can I revert the phone to stock where I can remove TWRP and my root status to see if I can go back to a virgin phone?
What the newest update for my phone like to get rid of lollipop and get marshmallow?
Let me post for feedback thanks.
I was able to get my phone working using advanced deletion in TWRP but I lost all my voicemail and text plus call logs so now its the 1st of month going to see about switching to MetroPCS and hoping they be able to use this LG G3 for replacement.
One other phone I like for is the https://www.metropcs.com/shop/phones/details/LG-Stylo-3-PLUS/610214652485
Which phone should I use LG G3 or the metro ? Thanks
I just ordered the LG Stylo 3 PLUS it has more pluses than sticking with older LG G3 especially since I want the newest OS and this be going from 5.2 phone to 7 and beyond.
Like having fingerprint scanner as well as getting rid of the Macfee security app I hated to deal with.
Now will have regular calling and more important can use sms apps again.
Wanted stylus for awhile so glad phone seem to make good use of one.
Will update once I receive phone after I have used a bit.
Question tho how does it work without root and I read something about not having bootlocker or some name like that so how does that work? Thanks!
