Hi!
Do anyone have a LG G Pad 8.3 running stock Android 4.2.2? I can't seem to figure out how to create a new user. It's like LG forgot to show the "Add User" button under "Settings -> Users". Unfortunately there are no LG G Pad forum on XDA, and LG do not have any customer support. They basically do not pick up the phone. And since it's a new device, there are not much information about it yet.
Hope anyone has an idea.
Thanks

as i known, android 4.2.2 doesn't have add user, users it's a feature from android 4.3
so, i think you have to upgrade your android to 4.3 if it's available on your device
Hi!
Thanks for your reply. It was added in 4.2 and improved in 4.3.

LOL. I found the problem. When I use a Exchange account, I can't use or create other users. OmG. That's really bad. As far as I remember, this was possible on Nexus 7. So I guess LG did some bad things here.

Hey Guys,
First time poster, looooooooong time browser.
I have a question. I recently came from a Lumia 920 to the Optimus G (Love WP8, but the lack of apps was just killing me!) and I have a group of friends, about 7 of them, that we group text...A LOT. However, when we group text on the LG Optimus G, each person has their own thread and it's not consolidated to just one thread with everyone in it, like on the Lumia 920.
How can I fix this? Does the default SMS app allow for this or is there an alternative that you suggest?
I am current running default 4.0 AT&T firmware (I can't root it, the phone doesn't double reboot during root, just one and then goes back to the home screen, but that's a question for another time).
Try using GoSMS pro. Or if you want to root, unlock, and flash a ROM, I just use the stock messaging app on CodeFireX 4.2.2

Hi!
I'm not new to the rooting scene - I've rooted practically every Android device that I've ever owned. However I can not, for the life of me, find any documentation at all on the interwebs about rooting the LG Google TV running Android 4.2.2. Towelroot and other root apps did nothing for me, sadly.
The reason for rooting is that I want to purchase Lightpack, an awesome TV backlighting system that can work with rooted Android devices to backlight the TV and effectively "extend" the screen (Google it for more info - XDA will not allow me to post outside links since my account is new). The app is installed on my TV just fine, but the issue is that Lightpack cannot enter "screen grab mode" without root, which is the mode where the lightpack updates in real time with the colors of whatever is on the screen, hence the whole point of purchasing it.
Has anyone been successful in rooting the LG Google TV? Here are my specs:
Android 4.2.2
Model no 47GA6400-UD
47" LG branded "Google TV" - once again cannot provide URL because I am below the post limit. Google the model no for more info.
Would be awesome if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but it looks like they don't have anything on the LG branded Google TV and rooting it - only the Sony models. Can't find anything at all about LG model anywhere! Crazy.

Maybe The Sony One Is Easier To Work With Haha, Well Sorry I Couldnt Help And Good Luck !
Sweet! I got my LG Google TV rooted! I used Cydia Impactor over Wi-Fi and then installed the SuperSU APK manually - worked like a charm. Now I can buy Lightpack and it will work!
So excited. Yes!
Wish I could post a tutorial for those other LG Google TV users out there waiting for root - I can't post it yet because XDA is disallowing images and links in my posts until 10 posts.
Guide
Did your ever get a guide done for this? I'm interested in rooting my Google tv for lightpack.
I could share contact details if you would prefer.

I did, actually! Without huge knowledge of Android. I didn't find a guide specific to LG Google TV, but I found something on the web and did the equivalent of SSH into the TV over WiFi and pushed the root to the TV remotely. Unfortunately even with root, Lightpack's lazy devs never got screen capture working fully. It bogs the TV resources down so badly that the TV won't even shut off, have to unplug it.
So good news and bad news. Rootable but useless for Lightpack screen capture. Other root stuff works though.
Are you still active here? I am looking for someone using a Google TV by LG

Hi all,
fairly new to posting in these forums bit been a regular visitor for a long time.
I've looking into ways of sharing an internet connection with others. A repeater would do the job but I also need to log into a website in order to get internet access, this is why th Android solution is the best option.
Using FQRouter2 is the only option on the Play Store that can fullfill this requirement however using the repeater function of the app seem to be limited to having compatible hardware.
google.com/store/apps/details?id=fq.router2
My aim is to get a list of compatible devices to help others that need to achieve the same objective.
So far none of the handset I have (mainly Samsung GT series) have got the repeater function working. If you have got this working could you post the model of your Android device and the firmware version it's running.
Thank you.
It doesn't work for:
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
Kitkat 4.4.2
KOT49H.I9505XXUGNJ8
Here it the link to go https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fq.router2
I have been trying to get this working on a rooted Sero 7 Pro and I have been unsuccessful. I think it would be safe to assume that it can be added to the not compatible list.
Can anyone assist with trying to find the most affordable tablet that can support this functionality?
2 phones repeter works on
two phones that works as wifi repeter are #1 lgms323 android ver 4.4.2 from metropcs and #2 is ZTE n9120 android ver 4.0.4 from metropcs.....
can you tell me where i can find out why the lg will not connect to fqrouter
ps of course both phones are rooted

I recently purchased the LG Q6 smartphone. I was the Motorola moto G user. I was very much comfortable in the stock dialer for the design, usage and the experience. How can i get the stock dialer for LG Q6?

Because my previous mobile has that feature in Data section of stock android 7.1.2. Now i am searching the same thing in this V30+ model but could in see. Whether the LG removed this feature or else it got hidden somewhere in the setting?
Please some help me to find a solution.:good:

no other possibility for doing this with LG OS?
Geez, dont konw if you can block complete access, but you could go into app manager, locate that app, remove all permissions and prevent cellular data use - or at least backgound use.

LG can't remove feature that even doesn't exist in Android. Your previous phone probably was some cheap xiaomi which indeed have some options in their custom miui ROMs. But nor Pixels nor Samsungs not have such feature

Ya i am telling some example for this, i have MX player free version, which will show annoying Ads all the times that everyone knows. if we have blocked this app from accessing internet( not only in background but permanently ) then it wont show any Ads. this is what happened with my previous mobile 10 or G which has pure android and it has not a single modification in Stock Android. I just exchanged that 10 or G to buy this LG V30+, other wise i would have show the Screenshot where the option present for blocking the app from internet in Data section of the settings.
