Can you confirm that AT&T doesn't have the download booster option?
Edit - Just seen a posting verifying that we will NOT have download booster for AT&T.

Yeah, just watched the video and the toggle is missing. It's unfortunate about the booster. I'm genuinely surprised they took it out. Oh well, not that big of a deal.

Dude, thanks for the review but for future reference people don't want to hear you rambling on and on stating the OBVIOUS, such has where the volume rocker is or the fingerprint sensor. We want NO commentary and just a video of how the device performs. You could have mentioned that download booster is MIA.

Why are you surprised? I'm not. We all knew it was gonna happen. They just don't want people on the network. Download booster encourages that.

I think I'm more surprised that Samsung let them take it out. I figured since it's basically a top selling point, they wouldn't budge on the issue...but I guess I was wrong. It's a shame how carriers get to dictate features on a device. It's bad enough we have manufacturers doing that to begin with, but then carriers adding to it is definitely annoying.

Yep. I already blasted them on their Facebook page. I urge everyone to do the same. We are denied a major feature because we're with AT&T. This is getting so ridiculous! They need to keep their hands off our devices already.

Great review rodger, thanks!
One question: does it have the feature like the Moto X to wake into S Voice or Google Now with the screen off? I saw it works when you're on the home screen but would love if it was listening even with the screen off

Thank you for the review. And don't listen to that other person. You weren't rambling and you post your videos on how you want to present it. I can't wait for mine!

Selling SIM & CID Unlocked ATT Tilt w/extras

Comes with Seidio slim rubberized case and 6 GB Micro SD. Phone is about 6 months old. There is a small scratch on the top left of the phone (hence the case).
Currently I have L26_KaiserDiamond_V9 flashed on the phone w HardSPL 3.28, but will flash the ROM of your choice.
Opera 9.5 and TomTom 6 and 7 are installed. Have many other apps available to install too, so if you are looking for something pre installed let me know.
If you are interested or have questions, send me a PM here or email me: svnalvn[at]wi.rr.com. Looking for around $350/400 US obo.
Does it come with a candle or a lint roller? I hear that is the fashion these days.
New iPhone available on Friday and a lot of Tilt users jumping on the bandwagon. Anyone else notice all the Tilt's for sale lately?
No.
There are 2 that I see, which happens from time to time.
needs 2 go
bump
bump bump
You might want to bump on over to ebay.com
No offense meant to the OP, but given the bad blood we've had lately, people are VERY skeptical buying from the boards. Especially from someone who has a single number of posts.
You'd be better off selling on eBay.
here is the tilt, with extras.. You want to buy some Jimmy? I Make you real good deal!

No offense taken. But, yea, your right...You caught me! My master plan is foiled!
It will be up on eBay and I will post the link for all you skeptics. I was just giving the boards a chance at it first, seeing all I know has been supplied from this great knowledge base.
Oh, also...I realize I have a low post count. But then again, I know how to use a search button so thats why.

I just seen 3g on my notification bar!!

Ok, I have a g1 (obviously) and watching YouTube on it sucks mainly because it takes 5 minutes to load and then the video plays back at 12 second intervals...pretty gay ....so yesterday I just wanted to see what time it was and I noticed that I had a 3g icon in the notification bar....so to see if I wasnt high I decided to watch a video that was 1:50:32...it loaded it 5 seconds...(exciting). Later that day I had a message on my phone that said it was not registered on the network so I called t mobile and they said they were updating the network so that explained why my phone wasn't registered and as for the the 3g we wouuld have it in my area soon enough.....so I called another agent to confirm and check the coverage map and he said I would necer have 3g ever even if it was a fire...but I still get a little 3g here and there...so now I'm askin why is this happening and...iis there anyway to force 3g all the time(the anycut method doesn't work maybe I'm not doin it right but its pretty strait forward)...any help would be nice.

So...ummm.? Yeah. You guys are pretty funny. Aside from comedy you guys are wiz kids but apparently though you are all a#& h%&#s. I asked a simple question does it have anything to do with development maybe not the first part but the second part possibly...I didn't count the replies but it was about 10 talking about "why is this in the development section?" Pass time by doing something worth someones time...if it was such a bad post why click on it why reply?... ****.
* Mod EDIT *
Offensive language
Ban this idiot. Attitude, plus posting in wrong section.
someone's feelings got hurt.
@MUSICMOGUL:
Your carrier may be testing the implementation of 3G in specific areas and therefore enabling/disabling the system equipment on various towers.
Lastly, I appreciate that most comments were somewhat useless ... that said, it happens and responding as you did simply aggravates the situation.

I didn't know that. So I said "thanks" to the original poster. I liked that.
But I did NOT like your wrong and highly annoying full quoting and trying to make fun of people willing to contribute something nice. Not funny.
I agree with you, there is always some one who can benefitt, these forums are exactly for this purpose
Now we now what the Google devs consider priority (and are willing to spend time programming) when improving Android, and also why Lollipop is such a piece of crap.

As mentioned before this had been there since release LAST year. I don't see how this not being included would have changed your perception of what crap is. I'd ask but you would probably only list 1 or 2 things with any other listing still being a problem in KK.
This game is very addicting. I keep borrowing my dad's Nexus 5 just to play it.

I had several problems with LP not present in KK:
- bluetooth not working properly with car
- when the call screen is minimized, sometimes LP won´t end the call after pressing END
- loss of signal quality (much worse radio, might be related to the bluetooth problem)
- audio notifications at night used to be disabled in KK. Now, with LP, I have do turn wi-fi & 4G off at night so the phone won´t disturb me with notifications
- after 2-3 calls, I have to reboot the phone, because the call after that will be completely silent
Again, none of these problems existed before.
I didn't know this so thank you OP. I think the new feature that concerns me most is the addition of Interruptions to the notifications/sound profile. I like my alarm going off even know I put the phone on silent. :/

The battery on the S6 is still to be determined. Both devices will be amazing to watch when they hit the streets.
Based on the s6 reviews its already determined its not better than s5

Lol I was saying m8 and s5 battery was about the same then if s6 is worse than s5 that means m9 will be better but your right the waiting game begins
If I had the funds, I so would buy this phone. Probably going to wait for discounts or when I make more money.

ZV5 Update in the works!

Could you elaborate? This looks interesting, but I'm way ignorant as to what RDF or ZV5 is? When I clicked on your list it was a wall of text mushed together, so I wasn't sure what to make of it.

RDF is what Sprint uses to publish software versions and updates. Currently our phones are running software version ZV4. The latest update on the RDF site shows ZV5. We should expect an update within the next month or two.

RDF's will not display correctly in most browsers. If you open the link in Internet Explorer on a PC you will actually be able to view it without it all being jumbled together. Like the OP said this is how you know Sprint is working on an update.

Updates are part of this OP.
Thanks
I've had mine since launch. I hope it is a software issue so it can be fixed with an update. Other than this issue I love the phone.
What's up fellow Sprint users.
The update today is the ZV5 update. at least that is what shows up in my Software Version now. "LS991ZV5"
Just bug fixes, according to the LG rep.(Quick toggle bug is still there.)
I also received a network update today. Had to restart my phone. Anyone know what that was all about?
What's up? Nice to finally see a Sprint forum. Hope to hear some good news soon! This being my first LG device, I gotta say I like what I've been seeing so far. Not perfect but what new phone is?
