To the people reporting poor Band 25 reception.   Did you enable Band 26 and Band 41?   Maybe Sprint was already ahead of you on this and you actually are causing the problem?   Maybe they made

Just use that excuse when someone from Sprint comes investigating a missing phone...

I have replaced most of the phones on my account with craigslist phones. Never had an issue before..but first one that wasn't complete

I am just kidding. Kind of. I've used craigslist before, too. But generally speaking, a missing back plate, especially on such a new device, is very fishy. When you get a replacement from a manufacturer, it is usually without the back plate. Also, a display model is generally locked by its back plate. It just seems like someone either committed some sort of scam to get a replacement phone shipped from LG or a display got swiped. It doesn't help that the seller didn't disclose this issue with you and instead chose to hide the issue with a case.

Just don't want to sign a contract...all but 1 phone is out of contract..if the tri band works I will renew the other 3. But as of now there is no reliable data service where I live..until I can get band 41 to work on this phone to test since ltd conversion of wimax towers near me should be completed end of this year

I may be in the minority here, but I really don't mind being in a contract with Sprint. I guess I am lucky that in Florida, Sprint is "strong like bull".

The G2s back is supposed to be non-removable. Lg wouldn't ship a replacement without it, chances are its stolen from from a retailer and not reported yet.

Yeah, that would play with my emotions quite a bit as well.

Can't say I like the screen in the sun...you can still see the display well but also shows the touch or pressure zones. They sparkle and its annoying

These days, you always have to check for clean ESN/MEID/IMEI when buying off Craigslist or eBay.

 

I think people here are ethical. Unfortunately those who sell phones on those online places like Craigslist or eBay, not so much.

 

Just be careful guys.

The only way I'm aware of is by trying to activate the device through sprint...mine had no issues with this

I have seen people take the phone to a Sprint store, activate, only to have phone shut down later because the "clean" ESN ended up being black listed as stolen days/weeks later. It's risky AND Sprint will wash their hands of any responsibility for sure.

Doesn't connect at all.

 

Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

mine will, but rarely, i cant figure out why, when it does. Last night i was in a restaurant, my htc one connected as i pulled up to the place and dropped to 3g as i walked in. I was there about 4 hours. About 2 hours in the G2 magically connected and stayed connected until i left.....

You think this is another different type of SIM card that they are slowly activating?

Phone has been great so far besides the lte issue. Camera works great. Good battery life. Dislike the speaker placement, but I was also coming from an HTC One. The buttons on the back were easy to get used to, but with the knock on feature you really don't need to use them often.

      My AT&T phone is downloading the update now, just under 3GB.

      Feeling the same. Factory unlocked here. Got it for my account's s21 ultras and s24 ultras, but the s22+ is still waiting. Wifi versus over the air made no difference.

      Galaxy s21 leaks and rumors

      By dkyeager · Posted

      One UI 6.1 update: no photo cleanup AI as reported.  Does have:  circle to search, advanced charging settings for battery protection, and customize alarms.  Also has Google's Bluetooth based find my device network option.  Reportedly can (have not tested yet) move subjects from one picture to another, copy from one image past into another, speed up or slow down parts of videos, edit movies on any galaxy device, Samsung account family groups.  The way Samsung should implement the photo cleanup AI for the s21 and s22 series is require people have Samsung Cloud storage at a price or a set fee per photo processed online. *#73# does still work if you previously enabled it.  ADB disabling of system updates does also still appear to work. Does not appear to be a cumulative update (had to do two updates to one phone).
