Free lg g4 to employees - T-Mobile LG G4

Did tmobile give a free lg g4 to all its employees? I see round many if them sell these for cheap because they got them for free.

No, they do have a LG partner program that allows employees to purchase one for a discounted price. It's not free.

Explain? I'm an employee and know nothing about this. Feel free to PM me.

It is currently $250 + tax from LG for employees.

You tell me lol I have had 4 different lg g4 purchased online and all came from tmobile employees. I don't think they stole them or else they would not sell them online with name and address. They all said it was a gift and I believe them because when you check the imei on tmo website it shows not recognized, meaning it was a gift for real and never registered for sale. So there is something going on with tmobile and this phone.

Talk with your store manager they should have been contacted by a LG rep.
I think it's a limited time promotion that started about 3 weeks ago.

I want to work retail but there's no corporate stores here.

Only problem with these LG G4 units is that their IMEI's do not seem to be recognized by T-mobile...

http://lgpartnerpurchaseprogram.com/password password LGG4

So, I ended up buying one of these units unknowingly online. Like was said here, the IMEI isn't blacklisted per se, but it doesn't show up in tmobile's registry so I'm having a hell of a time trying to unlock it. Anybody successfully unlock one of these units? I've tried several online unlock services and tmobile has tried several times. Seems like even installing the h815 firmware hasn't worked for others. Any ideas?

I'm in the exact same position! bought it from swappa and T-Mobile can't seem to get it unlocked even though they said I'm eligible

G5 Sale
Hey, I wanted to quickly ask anyone about the password they changed it to for the G5. I am a tech care employee as well and can't seem to find it. I already have my partnerpurchaseprogram account registered with my t-mobile.com email from the G4 and the V10 sale, but I feel like I didn't even get the G5 email and no one seems to know it. Does anyone know what they changed it to?

Determining Nexus One Version

I am looking at a nexus one on ebay, but the seller didn't state if it was the att or tmobile version. I sent him a message asking him which version and told him about tmobile version not being able to use att's 3g. He replied, "The ATT since it is compatible on both."
I guess I need to be more specific. Is there anything on the box that I could ask him that would identify which version it is? (it's brand new, still in box)
I would look for a different seller... if they have the phone brand new and still in the box, they should know whether it is ATT or T-Mo compatible. If they do not, that is a major red flag, to say the least.
I would gladly buy from Google, but I can only use paypal
By the way, which version do you think a guy from Pakistan would have?

Why would a guy from Pakistan be selling new Nexus One for less than Google? Especially when Google doesn't even sell directly to Pakistan?
Also, look at his rating... he has like 11 transactions.
Edit: I actually just reported the seller, since this is such an obvious scam. As well, looking at the pending sales, several have canceled the purchase because the seller never responded and so forth. It is very clear that this 1 month old member with suspicious history, and even more suspicious listing, is a fraud.
And why can you only use paypal? Do you have all your funds tied up in the PayPal account? You can transfer from a PayPal account to your bank account, for free... takes about 3 business days.

Thanks for the help.
I was wondering why all the nexus ones on ebay are much more expensive. Then I found an acution that said something about taxes making the nexus one cost like $580 from google. Does google charge taxes for the nexus one for OHIO?
You'll pay around $35-40 in taxes for Ohio. Just go through the checkout process without actually completing the sale at the end and you'll see all the costs.

Yeah, in the US you'll pay a sales tax. I think it came out to $562 for me in IL ($33 Tax).
I paid 566.03 after my 7% sales tax.

The UN-unlockable HD7

So maybe I'm the only one in the world with an HD7 that can't be unlocked.
I bought one on Kijiji new in the box. I'm in Toronto and planned to use it on Wind Mobile. I read of others enjoying their unlocked T-Mobile HD7's. So I bought mine today, sold my old phone the same day and found out that my phone cannot be unlocked.
I have tried 4 different websites for unlocking and all failed. I called HTC and they said to speak to the carrier. The carrier said to get a plan with them and in 40 days I can have the code. Doesn't make much sense being that I don't live in the U.S. or within hours of their service areas.
Finally the sales person says to fax them a receipt and they can provide the code in 24 hours or 2 weeks if they don't have it in their database and have to retrieve it from HTC. I doubt I can get a receipt from the seller and I feel like I just spent $500 on a paper weight.
Anyone have any suggestions??
EDIT: mobileincanada.com surprisingly sent me an email last night saying they updated their database and if I re-ordered they could probably have the code for me in a few min. So I took another shot and they actually had one. I guess it could an updated database to solve the problem!!

you need to get someone that have t-mobile account to do it for you
Hey go on tmobile's website and go to the online chat help section and talk to someone there and just be kind and tell them the truth. I found that they are really helpful. Just tell the person u bought it from a tmobile store (dont say kiji) and that ur in canada and are not a tmobile customer. They'll understand. Im in canada and was thinking of doin what u did and buying one and then unlocking it so to be safe i talked to a tmobile rep b4 buying anythin and she was really understanding and told me she would unlock it for me after i purchased it( not sure if they wouldve kept their word since i havent bought mine yet)...
as long as you bought it at full retail, they should give you the unlock code. The 40 days only applies if you got it at a discount as a new line of service.
I was in the same situation, tried over 10 websites and none of them had the unlock code in their database. Luckly I was able to get the receipt from the seller and got T-Mobile to unlock the phone. Took T-Mobile less than 24 hrs to send me the code. Like the other poster said, try the T-Mobile online chat, they are very helpful.
Thats crazy.. was planning on picking up an HD7 to use on Wind soon in Toronto. Would be brutal if it can't be unlocked.
Did any of you guys who had problems try mobileincanada.com for the unlock code?

Yup tried mobileincanada.com, didn't work and got a refund.
Most of the sites claimed they should be able to unlock the phone in a few weeks when their databases are updated.
edit: What you could also do is bring a laptop with you when you buy the phone and check if the phone is unlockable here http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/check-imei.php
^man that really sucks.. you had tried 10 different sites? Also thanks for the tip on htcimeiunlock site.
So T-mobile was pretty helpful about the situation as long as you had the original receipt? good to know.. worse case i'll just go for a quick drive and pick one up.
I tried all the sites you all listed here and NONE of them worked. I even found some other site called UNLOCKINGONLINE.COM. They say claim to have access to some newer databases and recommend using a certain unlock option if you're phone is an HTC device manufactured after March or May 2010 I think it said. But it's a premium rate of $39.99 which of course they say they will refund if unsucessful.
Well I tried them as my last resort and guess what? I've had no response from them since last night and they promise a 5-30 min turnaround time on 99% of all unlocks.
So now I'm worrying about the 4 or 5 refunds I'm expecting for all the various unlocking sites I tried AND they guy I bought my HD7 from has decided to no longer respond to my messages. Maybe he knew I couldn't unlock it before hand and took my money and ran.
I guess my last option is the online chat with T-Mobile a few of you have suggested. Otherwise I'm just going to sell it and let someone else figure out how to unlock it.
I tried the online T-Mobile chat and they said unless I bought it right from T-Mobile and have a receipt they will not unlock it for me.
Can anyone offer some advice on either what I can say to them or perhaps if one of you are an existing T-Mobile client you could offer me some assitance??
I'd hate to have to get rid of it now
Hopefully with some time these databases for unlocking will get updated?
I'm close to buying one off something through kijiji in toronto as well.. he just dropped the prices recently, really hope its not the case where the phone cannot be unlocked. Considering I only see one guy selling in toronto I don't think I should take the chance.

Just a heads up the only guy on Kijiji is the guy I bought mine from yesterday. He got back to me now and says he doesn't have retail receipts as he buys from a wholesaler. He says he'll see if there is anything he can do for me.
EDIT:
Here's for anyone else having Sim unlocking problems but can actually get the sales receipt. I just got this in my email:
Unlock Code: Waiting For FAX - MSRP
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. At this time, we will need a copy of the original sales receipt to be faxed into the SIM Unlock Team showing full retail purchase price was paid for the equipment. The fax number is 813-353-6557. Your request will be placed in pending status for 7 business days to allow time for processing. Please include the following information with the fax.

Yup, was talking to him as well, and he mentioned someone bought one and is unable to unlock it. Really sucks, wanted to grab this phone, but going to wait I guess if there's really an unlocking issue right now.

Well I would still buy one IF you weren't in a rush to set it up and didn't mind possibly waiting for a couple weeks for the code. Just don't do what I did and get rid of your current phone with expectations the new one will be up and running in minutes..
If the Kijiji guy did buy in bulk, maybe you can ask him to use http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/check-imei.php to check if the rest of his phones are unlockable and if it is try asking for an exchange.

Yeah thats still not a bad idea. It's for a secondary line I have on Wind and currently just using it with a cheap phone. Wonder how long the unlock will take though..

Think he has one left and I asked him about trying that tool but he didn't answer. Sounds like he just found out recently that they're not unlockable right now.

Well I should probably mention that after he got back to me today about my issues he did promise to go home tonight to see if the other one he had left was unlockable immediately. And if it was he assured me he would let me switch mine for that one. So perhaps that's why he didn't answer you, not sure.
But once I'm out of options and anyone wants mine (that's willing to wait of course) you're welcome to buy it from it me.
I'm going to try taking a walk around here at lunch for fun and see if any of these guys on Yonge St. can unlock it.
^Thats true, he doesn't have it with him so can't check now. He's been a nice guy though, and that's cool if he can let you swap it if its unlockable.

new to me n6 Motorola confidential property...

So I just got a nexus 6 on Craigslist and it says Motorola confidential property: not for sale. I tried activating it on Verizon but all I get is voice calls because it is Sim locked to at&t. I tried to get the unlock code from them but they said the phone doesn't exist. Currently I'm waiting for a third party to get the code but I have a feeling they will fail. Any ideas?
I attached a photo with the m in the top corner so you know it's real.
i have yet to see a MCP phone unlocked. does not mean you cant, just haven't seen anyone able to yet.. Those MCP phones get out, but are not supposed too. maybe trade someone who's on att for theirs? IDK that sucks! sorry
If I don't get it unlocked do you think anyone here would want it for development purposes?
Sell it on swappa.com. There's a separate sub-section for AT&T versions of the Nexus 6. But full disclosure, so the buyer knows what they're getting.
I talked to a Motorola agent and this is what he said
Got a code from eBay and unlocked my att nexus. It cost like 8 bucks..Took about 18 hours to get code..Does each nexus have a different unlock code ? I got a code from att but never used it cause I had already used eBay code..

Let this be a lesson to you about buying crap from craigslist.
Next time, go to play store, motorola, or tmobile to buy it. All unlocked, and even come with a WARRANTY.
Could you flash a factory image to it to see if its able to do that at least?

Test device. Prototype. Or for shop as demo unit. Flash it with proper firmware for Nexus first.
Would flashing the firmware do anything for the Sim lock?

Lets look at your point from a different point of view;
IT COSTS LESS to buy the one INTENDED for him, then to be a cheapskate and end up buying multiple pieces of junk that don't work out.
You don't get rich by wasting money.
And finally;
NOBODY NEEDS a Nexus 6. If he's not rich, then maybe he should just buy a phone he can actually afford.
So buying second hand phones is a no no? Get a grip
You went to an ATT store to try to get an unlock, or by phone?
I say go by a store and see what the service techs there can do for you, while awaiting the code you paid for ...
As far as it being MCP, that has its ups and downs to me, the upside is that is's special, won't look like everyone elses.
The downside is that it may not be the same HW inside, which may hamper you in flashing the current image for it, or even future releases, but I'll allow for, and hope I'm incorrect there.
If you didn't, try a good store and talk to the service techs, not the sales reps.
Look on ebay for unlock code. Is imei starting from 0044 on it? If yes its prototype device.

Odd IMEI situation (Nexus 6 AT&T)

So I've been playing with my Nexus 6 (I am the original owner) for a while, and recently PCS'd to South Korea for 3-5 years.
AT&T suspended my wireless service under the Soldiers/Sailors Relief Act, which basically suspends my service for $.01/mo.
Now, AT&T also allows you to unlock your device so that you can use a local SIM in the country you are stationed, however their online support unlock request form does NOT recognize my IMEI???
Is it even remotely possible that flashing other radios/bootloaders/roms can potentially modify the IMEI? If so, how can I go about getting the original IMEI restored? I believe I flashed the Google-Fi rom/radio/bootloader most recently. Should I flash back a stock LMY47E or something like that with radios etc.?
I don't normally ask questions like this, but it has stumped me for the last 4 days and I've done lots of searching with no results. My google-fu sucks apparently.
Thanks in advance.
Nope. Does not change any of the IMEI info. I actually ran into the same thing with AT&T on my old Note 3. The reason it does that is because it ineligible to be unlocked through them. However, cellunlocker.net is great for unlocking phones.
AFAIK, Flashing Radio/Kernel/ROM wont change ur IMEI. I strongly suspect that the issue is on the ATT side not your IMEI.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Holy smokes that was a fast reply!
I actually tried cellunlocker.net first, and they said that they couldn't find that IMEI in their database, and that if I wanted to wait a few additional days they would scrub other databases?
Should I have waited for them to scrub additional databases? I already got my refund back
EDIT: I do find it strange that they wouldn't unlock it or that it's not eligible though. It DOES have their branding. LOL.
There are other sites too. I would have let them scrub other sources.
Depends on how long you have had the phone and if it's financed or still in a 2 year contract.
---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------
And it's likely ineligible because of the suspended service. Regardless of your military status. I had issues with phone companies doing that when I was in the Army stationed in Germany.
Thanks. I'll give another site a shot and be more patient with it. Hell I haven't been able to use the phone since the beginning of June, I can wait a few more days. HA.
Have seen it before on another thread here. It is ATT being an ass. They will say they can't even find IEMI till the device is payed off. Think other poster had to contact FCC. Hope you can work it out and thanks for what you do for the rest of us.

Actually, the AT&T online tool nearly always returns an "IMEI unrecognized" message for our N6. If you call them, you will have no problem getting a free IMEI code directly from AT&T. Been there, done that....

Again... Been there done that. Had trouble with them. They are complete pricks when it comes to giving out the code. I have always found it easier to either pay for an unlock or use another method. He could try contacting them, but it will take a few days to process the request and in my experience, they need orders to show the duty station and even then may deny the request. I even had one moron tell me no right off the bat. When asked why, he was like "because national security". I laid into that jackass about how stupid he was and how much BS I knew he was feeding me.

Well that certainly sucks. And their policy says the will SIM unlock for military personnel stationed overseas. FWIW, I had no problem getting an unlock code from them, but my N6 was paid off.

You know how it goes. "we say one thing then do the exact opposite" lol
Well its unlocked via the 3rd party service I paid $10 for
For the record, I'm military affiliated as an Army Civilian, but prior service military as well. ATT already has my orders on file as they required them in order to suspend my account for $.01/mo.
At least I have a fully functioning N6 again! Thanks everyone.
Glad to hear. Thanks for your service active or not. :good:

no lte on at&t

Hi. Just wondering if anyone knows of a fix. Traded my v20 for this op3t and I'm more than happy so far, but all I'm getting is hspa+ for data. Called att and they said they needed to make a case to get LTE enabled.
Anything I can do to enable it myself?

Hey I have LTE on my op3t, that's weird maybe some network settings
Its an att issue with unlocked non att phones. If you tell them its an official att phone from your past LTE will work fine. As long as you have the correct US version and not the international or Chinese version.
My LTE on H2O(att) is amazingly fast. But they have no idea what phone im using because they never ask

Hopefully you got it new from OnePlus and not from amazon or ebay or swappa. The LTE issue is probably just a nice benefit att offers its customers to keep you buying phones with att logos on them. Just tell them you went back to your old att phone and LTE will probably start working perfectly again.

Unfortunately it was Swappa, and it is Chinese. Luckily PayPal sided with me and I'm returning the phone to the seller. I'll be out the cost of shipping, but whatever. I'll be going to OnePlus website when the money is given back to me.

No it was an individual. Won't put his name here. He claimed that he had LTE working just fine on at&t.

Oh ok I hope everything gets resolved quickly for you
I think i got scammed on Swappa also. Mate 9 on Saturday buyer in the same state. Tracking shows only a shipping label was created monday morning. Seller and swappa are not responding I guess I have to contact my credit card company. What a lousy company with lousy sellers Swappa is

That doesn't sound right. Swappa normally is very responsive when it comes to issues.

I get the feeling they have no way to help me besides instructions for me to go start a dispute regarding the transactions. I'd rather they just refunded me instead of making me waste more time.
Got my OP3T yesterday
Went and got a new sim from ATT
Needed to be turned on and off, but LTE popped right on
I'm on totally vanilla 7.0.0 nug I believe, def vanilla whatever it is

My gut was right. The guy was a scam and swappa was extremely unhelpful. Took them forever to shut the guy down no matter how much evidence they had he was a scammer! Anyone know anyone who wants to do a story about how shady swappa is? I have so many screenshots and messages and saved web pages before they erased my messages. First and last time using swappa for sure

That's terrible. Sorry to hear it. My issue is resolved. Swappa was super fast to refund my $15 fee, and PayPal was quick to refund me. Ordered my 128 gb op3t from oneplus website last night. Should be here Thursday. Thought about holding out for the oneplus 5, but I didn't want to wait.
I also noticed that they just made separate listings for the different op3t models. Hopefully nobody else has to go through what I did.
