LG V20 H910a AT&T Unlocked GSM 4G LTE Quad-Core Smartphone w/Dual Rear Cameras (16MP+8MP) - Titan (Renewed)

I bought this phone to use on Cricket and it works well. I've never purchased a refurbished phone before, but I thought I'd try my luck here with Amazon standing behind it, and it being "certified refurbished". The seller generated a tracking label several days before actually shipping the phone, but it did arrive in under a week. It was shipped USPS in a small, under-padded envelope.The bad news: This is not an H910a. Instead, it is an unlocked H910. What does that mean? That means that the phone has an AT&T logo on the back, and come with all of the AT&T apps pre-installed on the phone. I really wish this was the H910a, or that I knew how to remove all of the AT&T stuff. The "AT&T Messages Backup & Sync" warning in the messaging application drives me crazy. It keeps popping up when I open messaging, even though I have the setting set to "Not now".The phone is pretty much flawless. If I looked really, really close, I could see two really tiny scratches on the screen, but they were unnoticeable once I had my supershieldz screen protector installed. The battery seems to be fine, but time will tell on that. The included quick charger is nice and appears to be genuine LG, but the USB cable doesn't seem to be very thick, so I'm wondering if it's aftermarket. I haven't tried either the cable of the charger yet.This phone is really fast, has great internal storage, the fingerprint reader is really convenient, the camera works well and the second screen is useful too. I especially love having the two features that I was missing from my previous phone: a replaceable battery and the IR Blaster. The shape and size of the phone is really nice. I put a Spigen Rugged Armor case on the phone, and use the Encased belt clip holster to hold it.My experience with the seller was less than wonderful. I contacted them, asking about the H910 versus H910a, and if they had info about disabling the AT&T apps, but they told me that they offer no support. They said that my phone is under warranty if I wish to return it.... Luckily, I do not wish to return it, as this phone is awesome!

This unlocked phone is pretty awesome but I want to start off with what I consider the most important factor in getting full use of the phone and quite lengthy. This LG V20 (H910-a) is the AT&T version, there are other versions Like T-Mobile, Sprint, etc, and not all use the same mobile data network settings. I use Metro PCS as my service provider and it uses the same network as T-Mobile and in a perfect world I would have bought the T-Mobile version but they didn't have one available. In order to use the AT&T version with Metro to be fully functional you will have to go into settings-Data manager-mobile networks (which you get by touching the 3 dots in the top right corner)-Access point names then touch that and change the settings which can be found at the site (apn.gishan.net) once there you can figure it out like I did since there is not a lot of info about making this phone fully compatible with Metro. Before I changed those settings I could not send any texts with pictures and even a regular text would hang up, also if using maps it would lose satellite signal constantly but after changing the settings everything works smooth. Now the phone part. This was a refurbished phone but I would swear it was brands new, I always used a Samsung galaxy because I love the screen clarity but the music hardware just didn't do it for me so I read the LG V20 had one of the best music processing hardware installed and I have not been disappointed. The screen is beautiful and the only drawback as compared to a galaxy is the camera and video camera are not as good as the galaxy but not bad either. The processor is very powerful and fast, using the internet is also faster. It uses the bigger USB-C type port for fast charging and data transfer which is a lot better than the typical android port I have always used. Over all I give 5 stars just on the music hardware alone and the cost compared to a new one.

PHONE #1PROS:►Phone arrived well packaged and protected►No wear noticeable on the phone, only slight wear on the charger►Phone was snappy with speed►Immediately connected with AT&T's network (could not verify 4G LTE)►Free gift (a toy), will not say it was because your experience may be differentCONS:►Battery Charger: first sign there was a lack of quality check, as soon as it was plugged in it said that it was not "compatible with the phone"►Loudspeaker: The loudspeaker never really fired at any volume. The earpiece was louder than the loud speaker. I did the basic trouble shooting steps (removed sims/SD card, removed battery, looked for obstructions, left the cover off).►Battery: The battery quickly discharged. I let the battery discharge and then recharged it (the purpose was to give the battery the benefit of the doubt that it had to do a bunch of background downloading to sync the phone, but over night it was discharging at about 10% per hour.OTHER TESTS:Did not test other functions as they above were deal killers for me. I will update once these are tested.OUTCOME: I opted to file a return with the vendor. Hopefully the vendor/seller will take this feedback to ensure better testing before sending out product. I immediately ordered another unit from the same seller. (Was a little disappointed that the first order only took 3 day to arrive, but will take 5 days to order the next unit). Will update once new unit arrives and refund is made.UPDATE 2019-07-19PHONE #2 (Replacement for Order #1)CONS:►Phone came as A Sprint Phone instead of an AT&T unlocked phoneWORD OF WARNING: If you're seller is "DailySales" you are probably in for some quality problems. (Yes I contacted the seller)
