Hi I bought an LG G7 off somebody and it has a userdebug watermark on it. I have the canadian version of the phone and was wondering how the mark got there and how I can remove it. Also theres some other things Im wondering about like the "New Second Screen" option on this phone is called "Full Vision Mode". Any help is appreciated!!!

Oh sorry. Its a watermark that says Userdebug in red text. Like on the homescreen it says Userdebug and I cant remove it. I think it has something to do with rooting but im not sure. I heard the canadian version cant bootload or something
Do a factoey reset whenever u bye a second hand phone
Might be a keylogger or virus..

Hey guys, I am expecting my LG G4 to come in the mail today! I want to root it and install TWRP at some point but my question is which version of the G4 is on Verizon? Sorry if it has been asked, I searched but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance!

I received my Verizon version on Tuesday. Since then, I noticed the absence of various features (User Profile, Themes, and Smart Settings). Let me know if you're missing these features also. I am still not sure if it is a glitch or VS986 doesn't have those features while other carrier models do.

Clearly their resolve crumbled in the face of me boycotting them! [emoji28]
Seriously, this was sorely needed. I had sworn off buying another LG in large part because of the lack of updates to the locked Canadian models. I would still like to see them allow bootloader unlocking of all variants, but if timely security patches start coming, I would consider them again for my next device. Good move LG [emoji106]

Well... we are almost to mid April and still no update for the US998.

Seconded, we've all heard the same crap from various oem's before and none of it has been true, so I'll take this with a healthy dose of scepticism till events prove otherwise.
Read this on a couple sites yesterday and almost died of laughter!
I should have learned from the V20, but I guess I'm a slow learner. Can't wait to dump LG for good when the Pixel 3 XL comes out.
Don't hopeful. Until now, H930 and H930DS user still unknow what time they receive update Oreo.

Nothings changed. This is pr talk. "Lets get some news coverage and tell people we really changed"
If you're a global smartphone manufacturer and still dont have a team working on updates in 2018, you're seriously doing it wrong.
My V30+ came with Oreo.

No, because this phone didn't launch with Oreo last year. Everyone needs to forget Treble for this phone.
Treble wouldn't have any benefit anyway for him. His bootloader locked phone would still be bootloader locked. Treble is not the magic elixir to allow dev work on phones.
Treble iks to theoretically give faster updates.
For dev work, Treble only helps devs on phones that already have bootloader unlock and have methods to flash root .

I am trying to get hotspot working on Oreo.
Didn't get a chance to add apn under N so the menu is hidden. I can reset apn and see the menu for a split second so I know it is in there.
Any idea how to get it?

Yeah, I heard about this Sprint APN lockout on Oreo. It's Sprint's attempt to carrier lock down the phone even more. For editing the APN, do any of the hidden menu app still work on the Sprint phone?
See this post for the Sprint LG G4:

Change apn in hidden menu. No root needed
TheMadScientist said:
Go over to the gsm unlock thread. Download the hidden call menu apk. Go to the iot settings near bottom. Then LTE settings. And APN. Here u can add edit and select your apn. Cannot be done in stock settings app or reg## menus without msl. This allows for no root and no msl. Editing. Lol. About damn time we figured this out

I'm not sure which thread he's talking about, but there are several hidden menu apps on Google Play.

Today (14th of April) will be the 92nd day since last update for the TIM H930G (same for H930 and H930DS variants).
Remember when LG announced that their amazing phone is Android Enterprise certified, that there will be 90 days between each update in worst case scenario? Oreo update in Q1 2018 ?
This is my first and last LG phone and I'm already thinking about ditching it. I'd rather flash custom ROMs but they're locking their phones like no other manufacturer.

One app is called engineer mode test tool. I used that to find dailer codes and such.
I bought 2 US thinqs from t-mobile the other day. Both have the same base version. Security version. I've compared every setting I can think of. But one of the phones does not show Advanced messaging options in settings. No alias settings. My. Phone shows a click able menu called "advanced messaging" but the other phone does not. Anybody know anything about this?

My silver T-Mobile G7 has advanced settings, and I'll get back on here after I check my wife's red one. What do you want from advanced settings, and what does alias do?

I'm trying to figure out why I can't get delivered and read reports when my friend and I text each other. We don't have this problem with anybody else. Just each other. This seems to be the only setting that could be causing the issue. Delivery and read reports are working with mms between the two phones but not sms. Alias seems to just be another version of your personal profile on the phone. Not too concerned about that function but it seems to be connected to since she doesn't have that setting either
Hmmm, just got my silver T-Mobile G7 ThinQ Friday and I don't have advanced messaging on it either.

I think it was a bad installation of the update. Factory reset seems to have solved the problem

Hi, do you have the LG Message app or thr Google Message app? Also, do you still have the wide angle camera of the front camera?

I don't think it ever had wide angle in the front. That's why there's two lenses on the back.

I read the specs, and it shows that the front has it? And someone confirmed it was there before the update :laugh:
Hi I seem to have a "White Tiger" app on my LG G7 with an android icon. Does anyone know what it is? Can I uninstall it or is it part of the LG ecosystem? This is my first LG Phone and for once Google is not of much help.
Thanks.

Update: Probably "White Tiger" Live Wallpaper.
Removing the term G7 from google revealed this clue.
