ATT tethering to FishFinder, Iphone works, WTF - LG G5 Questions & Answers

my g5 is crap, my wifes gs6 is crap, my daughters samsung tablet is crap BUT the iphone tether works tethering to my fish finders.
how the hell ????????
is there an app or something i can do to get my lg g5 to tether my fish finders so i can download maps and stuff without having to pull cards, swap around......

Have you checked to see that the fish finder supports Android devices? I've run into devices in the past that only support iPhones.

i put foxfi on the lg g5 and it works with that, so i guess im ok now.
i didnt have this problem with my old att mega (1) which was an antique version of android

LTE version won't activate on verizon

So it looks like you can't use this phone on an active Verizon account. I've been dealing with their customer support all day and it seems like they don't allow for the phone to be used on their networks other than pre paid. Really a bummer as I wanted to replace my broken phone with this one. It seems like a really great phone so far just using it on wifi. :crying:
If you have a Moto E which works on ATT or TMO, shall we swap? I just got this device (XT1528) from Verizon thinking I could use it on T-Mobile. Turns out I can't.
I agree its a great phone, but not when its on a different network!

G3 talk & surf??

I'm on Vzw prepaid and recently bought a brand new Droid Turbo on Swappa. And I'm am really liking it, pretty good phone, BUT.... I soon figured out I can't talk & surf at the same time. My previous phone was a LG G2 and was able to do both anytime. I use my phone a lot for work, talking on Bluetooth or speakerphone and emailing. I have been very disappointed with this now and have been considering changing phones, I could maybe change to At&t and use this phone on their GSM network where they allow it, however I do like Vzw great coverage.
I think I've heard the LG G4 won't allow talk & surf too, but what about the G3. Can someone tell me, does the G3 allow talk & surf. I did like the G2, I want a phone with a good camera too as I use it also for work. My phone is half my job, so its important to me for it to keep up.
Thanks for any advice

I've had the g2 and the g3 and have never had an issue talking and web browsing simultaneously on basically any ROM, whether it be stock,aosp, or cm... And both cameras take wonderful pictures if you use the right camera app- Im not a fan of google camera

samsung updated my phone to android 7 now I can't use foxfi

I did a stupid thing and allowed the update to happen today. I was obviously not aware of the fact that foxfi would not work anymore with this update. It makes me so mad.
I really would like to be able to make foxfi work again, short of buying an older phone (since I really love my Galaxy 6 Edge). I am a Verizon subscriber and have an unlimited data plan. I have used the Foxfi to power my internet connection in the office before when my wired internet has been down.
Are you grandfathered? Try this, but search for the S6 Edge files at Sam Mobile, and then upload files in Odin. MAKE SURE Verizon repair assistant is closed on laptop or desktop, and follow the following. I flashed my S7 Edge from Nougat to Marshamallow, to get Foxfi working again. By the way, you don't need root to do this.

No internet when using hotspot for cricket

Hi,
I am using cricket and I have the option of enabling hotspot in my mate 20 pro. However, after I enable it and use another devices to connect to the hotspot, the devices just show "no internet". Have anyone ever encountered this and found a solution?
Thanks!
Cricket specifically has to support your specific device in order for you to use hotspot. They will likely never support it. From my experience the only devices they support are the ones they sell and some of the mainstream ones from AT&T like the galaxies and Iphones. I still don't think they support the s9 plus and note 9 tbh.

That is incorrect. The hotspot's functionality is dependent on the device not the sim card. I use cricket, but I don't use a cricket phone (which disables hotspot unless you pay to turn on the feature). I've used various phones with a cricket sim with no issues.

You're wrong youve just gotten lucky to use a phone that is supported. It has never worked on the other 10-12 non supported phones I've owned over the last couple years.

I'm not going to argue with you. The 10-12 phones that hotspot didn't work for you was user error. With 5 oneplus phones, 7 Samsung phones, 2 Huawei phones, one smartisan, and one xiaomi phone and other brands I have more than enough experience using hotspot. Hotspot has always worked for me flawlessly. It's okay if you're wrong you're only human.

LOL you're hilarious
I'm having the same problem on cricket.
Yet all my other unlocked phones NOT bought from cricket nor cricket branded work.
OP did you find a solution?

False. You need an unlocked phone that is GSM. I've had tons of non branded cricket phones that have worked with wifi hotspot on cricket sim.
Guys, you tell some mystical stories.
There is no any connections between Cricket and tethering - tethering only depends on device, not on data provider. Packet routing work only on local device.
Back to the problem, the way to fix is next - open your APNs. There is should be two of them - one is set as default, second - disabled (named as "mht" in my case). You need to open this disabled APN, and remove "dun" from "APN type" field. Now just re-enable APN and feel free to use tethering.
Sometimes there is a line missing in the build.prop too. Mostly it's just the APN. I had to fix a phone that wouldn't tether by an ADB operation. That was unusual but google searching did find me the solution.
My providor here in Australia doesn't block tethering but that phone most certainly stopped it working till the ADB mod corrected it. They do have an APN that I need to punch in manually every time I get a new device so I'm well used to looking there first.
Even with system updates the new APN sticks. A reset would erase it though.

What model V60 to buy?

Good day,
I am a proud owner of a LG V20 H910 AT&T for about four years now.
Bought it back in early 2018 refurbished from ebay for about US$185.
I got very good service from this, I learned alot about roms, scripts, etc...
these are the issues I faced...
Very recently, phone started turning off when the battery is around or below 40%
After further investigation and cleaning the contacts, the battery seems to be swollen slightly.
Sometimes I can run it until below 20% until it powers down.
Lately I see it takes a long time to charge from this point.
The phone mic stopped working and gives of static noise/feedback to other caller until you switch to speakerphone then it works fine. This is for mobile calls and whatsapp/duo.
The headphone jack seems to short and stop music and activate google assistant every now and again.
This doesn't happen to all headphones, only some. If you don't move the phone or the cable, it works fine.
Download mode loads, but you get static on screen, tried reflashing with my stock and others but same.
Other than these problems, I totally love my v20 and it is still going.
I wanted to buy either a v50/v60/G8x.
I see LG is no longer making V series.
I like to tinker with mods and roms, what do you recommend
my max budget is ~US$220 and I see I can get these on ebay.
The main thing i like about my v20 is the dac, I use the force high impedance mode as I use it as a music player in my car's Hi-Fi. Is this possible on these units?
I want to go for the v60, what version TMO, Verizon, AT&T?,
I am on Digicel in Trinidad & Tobago. so this doesn't matter but what is the best version to buy for unlocking and future mods/dev.?
I remembered when I got the AT&T version of my v20, it never came with the Music app, and I only recently solved that issue.

Personally I went with the U.S. Cellular unlocked version.Or,you can go with the T-Mobile version.Prefer it be unlocked,and the reason I say those 2 is because at least the firmware is downloadable unlike the AT&T version.But,there is a Qfil copy of the AT&T version in the Q&A post.From my readings they're all IMPL locked and I haven't found away around that yet.
I would like to know too. coming from a v40 that i bought for $300 and it lasted 4 years... I hope to do a similar run with the v60.
Not too worried about updating past android 11. But it does kinda suck the security updates stop at June 2021. My v40 is stuck at 8/20, and I'm already noticing some apps dont work with Biometric anymore.
It took many years before the v40 was finally moddadable to lineage... and I'm sure someone will figure out the v60, but I also worry that WIFI calling won't work if it ever gets lineage.
That said, if I am on ATT, and want to use WIFI calling, I should buy an ATT branded model, correct? If I buy a global model, and run it on ATT, it likely won't work with WIFI calling?

Yes,if you're on AT&T most definitely get the AT&T branded v60.With my V60 USC device it wouldn't make or receive any calls when the 3g shutdown hit.I had to cross flash my V60 with a Luns backup and that's the only way it would dial in and out again.I even went in to the engineering menu and enabled all the settings perfect for VoLTE and it still wouldn't call out.It's not IMEI specific either.I'm still trying to figure a work around for it,but nothing as of yet.
Ok. I just bought the lm-600am version
