Just curious if anyone is using the PadFone X on AT&T. If so, have you checked for a system update recently?
If you're a T-Mobile user, how do we check for updates since the AT&T software update won't work?
Sent from my ASUS PadFone X using Tapatalk
In my experience, if you're running AT&T's ROM, you will never see the Over-The-Air update unless you're on AT&T.
I normally run a T-Mobile (actually NetOnTheRun) SIM in my PadFone X, but I put an active AT&T SIM back in and checked for a Software Update.. nothing.
Given AT&T's track record, if they end up releasing an update, it'll probably be at least a few weeks after it is released for the PadFone S internationally.
Hi,
I just wanted to put this out there if any of you guys like me relies on the T-mobile LTE Cellspot to get a good signal and data in your house. On 5.1.1 it worked like a dream, with speeds up to 60 mps download. As soon as I installed the update I'd no-longer get LTE using the cellspot. The LTE light stopped blinking (it should always blink when your getting LTE on your phone), and the 3G/4G light started blinking and all I could get was 4G with 10-12 mps download and I'd loose signal all together a lot. Witch never ever happened before the update. So I did all the usual things. I did a factory reset on my phone . I did a reset on my cellspot. I called Tmobile the first time and the guy basically said 6.0 is buggy and you'll just have to wait until LG issues another update to fix this bug. He offered me LG's phone number I said forget it and hung up. I thought about it a bit then called back. This guy just immediately issued me a replacement device, witch they sent overnight. I got it in the mail yesterday and when I set it up it was still on Android 5.1.1 and works perfectly again. I'm scared to update it again. I was just wondering if anyone else on here has a V10 and uses an LTE Cellspot and has updated to 6.0 and had any of these issues? If so please let me know. If your still on 5.1.1 and rely on a cellspot then beware of updating to 6.0.
thanks.

I am in the same situation. I traded in my TMO wifi router for the LTE Cell tower. Great addition since we had 4 phones and 2 tablets that were all on wifi prior to. Once I updated my V10 (via LG Bridge) I immediately noticed a difference in signal strength. Prior to, I had full bars of LTE coverage anywhere in the house. After the update, I regularly see the spinning circle (searching for signal) above my signal bars, and even out in public, my signal strength has dropped. I was going to be patient and see if another update followed soon. If not, I might root and start testing other roms and kernels.

Unfortunately if you took the mm update there is no root yet... You're stuck waiting.
Here's hoping for a root breakthrough!

Thanks for the info guys. I got lucky and Tmobile sent me a new V10 with Lollipop still on it so it's working great again. I noticed that that MM update isn't available anymore, the few times I checked anyhow, I called Tmobile, and I don't know if the guy was full of it or not but he said they pulled the 6.0 update and are working on putting out a 6.01 update that works better. But if you hurry and call Tmobile they may send you a new phone that's still on Lolipop like they did for me. Let me know if an new update comes out that works with CELLSPOT otherwise I'll wait for root. Thanks for the feedback though I really appreciate it.

According to the Marshmallow update page for T-Mobile devices as well as the support page for the V10, they have not pulled the update nor is there any mention of them doing pulling it so the dude who told you they did us full of, well you know what. Never believe anything the customer service person on the phone says because 9 times out of 10, you will know more then them, and they are clueless most of the time.

yea your right buddy.. they just sent me another OTA to update for MM. I figured out a way so it would stop bugging me about it. I'm not upgrading again until a new update comes out that I'm sure works with my cellspot. the only thing I miss about MM is the new Google Now... that is really slick. I wish there was a way to get that without updating from lolipop
Ok, T-Mobile is aware of this issue and are currently working on 6.0.1 to fix the problem, I don't know how long, but I was lucky enough to get a replacement phone with Lolipop, and I'm not updating it until the 6.0.1 is out and somebody successfully did it and it works, until then I'll stay on lollipop, all I really miss is Google now on tap.

Ok, I just got off the phone, with both Tmobile and LG, I can confirm they are working hard on a 6.0.1 update for the V10, they claim all bugs will be fixed with this update, thank goodness I got back to Lolipop. But they are working on this update to come out in a month maybe 2, both people at LG and Tmobile said. So good news.

Care to share how you got rid of the annoying update notification?! It's basically telling me to update to a buggy unrooted MM when I like my v4a too much! I haven't figured out what app to freeze or hide the notification yet..
Thanks in advance!

I'm not 100% certain on this, but I believe that freezing the update center Will Stop the MM upgrade because I tried that & it seems to have have been the cause of the notification disappearing. I had to restart my phone after freezing it to make the notification go away, but it did go away without my hiding the notification for Google play services. I hope this is able to help you
Saw that they finally have root for MM but I do rely on the T-Mobile cellspot at work. Also you guys mentioned that you random signal lost while out and about. I'm not gonna take the chance to update my phone. Will wait and see what v6.0.1 brings. Otherwise, I'm content with lollipop, does all I need it to. I used Siraltus's methods to disable the OTA notification.

Sorry I haven't looked at this thread in awhile. I got rid of the notification by going to. Settings >General >apps>all> then scroll down to the update center and just hit disable. That stopped it for me. Let me know if that worked for you as well.
Any News on this?
I went into my local tmobile store, they claimed that LG has notified them on the mistake on the 6.0 update and that they are working on a fix. My wife and I have the V10's and are tired of the network drops.... getting old. worked fine on lollipop. I guess it's a waiting game now, since there are no publications on this issue. every time I call customer support, they have no idea that this is a problem.

I was told the same thing and I was sent a replacement phone with Lolipop still on it and I haven't upgraded again. I don't know if that's still an option or if they're shipping the V10s already with the 6.0 update. It might be worth looking into. If you raise a big enough stink they'll send you new phones. I couldn't live with this phone on 6.0, it was horrible. All I really miss about the update is Google now on tap and that's not really a huge deal because this phone is so awesome running on 5.1.1 on the cellspot.

I just picked up a lg G5with 6.0.1 and already exchanged device...drops signal with cellspot every 1 minute...no signal,full bars...Tech support no issues noted on their end with G5 and said sorry go back and get a different device
---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------
i did see that turning off GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto and switch GSM/WCDMA,seems to be holding a signal and staying connected to LtE cellspot...so just the people getting a G5 and reading this..1st thing i would try do!
I wonder if that would work on the V10 6.0 update.. Hmmm, I'm scared to try, if anyone already has the V10 on 6.0 and you try that let me know.

LTE Connectivity now working
Came home today and LTE connection from cellspot working. I don't think T-Mobile updated phone, as there were no updates. I think they may have updated the LTE cellspot via internet connection. Did a hard reset of cellspot yesterdat. LTE connects with 35 mbs speed (same as internet connection). Greensboro,

How does everyone feel about att getting left out of the galaxy beta program? I already feel our root method is basically crippled and with the bootloader locked I'm considering a pixel as my next phone, but curious about the s8. Thoughts and opinions? I for one was excited to see Samsung s beta program right up until the blocked att...
I want to get the new pixel phone because of the locked bootloader but do not know about how to go about it as I am still paying for this phone monthly. I'm just hoping that this bootloader gets unlocked for nougat, I don't even need custom roms all I want is root with normal battery life.
I was excited about the beta program as well when I first read about it, but then AT&T had to ruin it for us. I just hope that does not mean that we'll have to wait longer than everyone else to get it when the final build is ready.

Verizon s7 flat ota.zip thread. Be careful
So it looks like a few people have done the verizon OTA to nougut, does anyone have any pro's or con's to using verizon vs tmobile with a 930a and att service? Also can anyone provide a step by step on changing the apn, I am concerned about what will and will not work since the fw is not designed for this carrier.
I am assuming that Volte and Wifi/Video Calling will NOT work, but obviously would be willing to be proven wrong.
Ive recently abandoned root and just applied a pixel launcher to the Nov. 1st update from ATT. If my phone wasnt company provided I would just get a Pixel already....
Thoughts?

My Pixel 6 hasn't arrived yet but hopefully soon. I'm getting the unlocked version and I'm a Verizon customer. My plan is to root the phone and stay on the Google builds. I don't plan to install the Verizon build. I don't want anything from Verizon except the SIM card (which I already have and plan to transfer from my previous phone).
I've heard some reports of this not working though, of intermittent or no connectivity from Verizon. Some people on other forums report that they need to go to a store for a SIM swap, or switch to eSIM, but even that only works for a while and then it drops again.
Does anyone here have more info? Is this expected to work or does Verizon have a way to force you to use their builds?

First, they are not built by Verizon they are built by Google with different modem/network items for Verizon. That is the only difference, no extra apps or anything like that. As soon as you put a VZ SIM in it you will pull the My Verizon app no matter what firmware you are using. You can uninstall it. The updates all come from Google, not the carrier.
Go to the Google factory image download page and look at the Pixel 5 downloads. You will see in March of 2021 there was only one image for everything and it was that way for months. Then this fall they split apart. This is very common, Google splits them for awhile then merges them.
The VZ version will not lock your phone, add any bloatware or anything like that. But might give you a better signal.
What you want to do will work but isn't needed and probably not the best way to do it.

Thanks... one concern is that I'm coming from a Samsung and on this phone, Verizon forces OTAs. You can delay when the update happens but only briefly. This is a VZW phone, not unlocked, but I figured the VZW firmware is pushing the updates.
Updating requires re-rooting so I'd prefer to do it on my schedule, not Verizon's. Do you know if this is going to be an issue with the Pixel?

One further thing Verizon puts on. Under "all apps" - show system - scroll down for the "my verizon services" app. You can't delete it you can only stop and disable it. It does get reenabled on some schedule, perhaps on the monthly updates, so every once in a while you need to redo the disable thing. What it does it allows Verizon to get into your phone and see all the apps you have installed and when you installed them. Also how long your system has been running, whether or not you factory reset etc. Very intrusive, imo, so I always disable it first thing and check it regularly.

These instructions worked perfectly to get esim working.
I'm using the Verizon firmware on the unlocked model. Wifi calling works and all.
I didn't get the QR code but the Reddit thread has a link for one on step 7. And my account was already CDMAless because of using a 1+ 7 Pro prior.
It took about 5-10 minutes after doing everything before I could make calls and send texts.
Idk if wifi calling works on unlocked firmware but it's enabled by a Verizon specific system app, com.verizon.mips.services
Edit. Idk why the link has a screenshot preview.
Mine didn't require any special provisioning. Running Google version of firmware. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, then inserted SIM from previous 2 XL.

Well I'm not quite an identical situation but I'm using visible. And from what I've seen from Sears, we encounter the exact same problems as it's the same parent company. It worked instantly out of the box as soon as I pop my SIM card in on my unlocked Pixel (Global) 6 Pro. No issues at all.
However, as you're probably well aware, test builds with other games don't work. Oxygen OS 12 beta 1/2 for example, would not work with visible or Verizon Even when I put in the correct commonly unknown APN settings (There's actually four of them).

After i got it then i fastboot boot magisk_patched then boot into my phone. After then go to Magisk Manager, at first i have no "Direct install" so i tried to flash it in fastboot mode again. then i hot it. once i turn on the phone, the direct install was thete then i used that method to permanently rooted. hope it helps.

Unlocked. I always buy unlocked.
I just recently paid of my Verizon Pixel 4 XL and called Verizon to see if they could unlock the bootloader. After about an hour and speaking with Tier 2 tech support, I was informed that the bootloader is locked forever and was recommended to buy directly from Google if you need to unlock the bootloader.

Hey! Guys. I live in Thailand and recently bought an LG V60 V600AM from Aliexpress. Everything was great and I had no problem using my AIS operator. The problem is the phone came with Android 10 and the latest Security patch updated is 2020. The question is can I get an OTA or some way that will get my phone to Android 13? I read it on the AT&T forum, I heard if you don't use an AT&T sim, you would not get an update. Is that true? That's so ridiculous. I should go with T mobile or Verizon instead. Sorry for my confusing English tho rarely use it on a daily basis.
Yes you can restore backup for Awe, but OTA no possible
