Fake LG-VN220

GiterYid Yes definitely fake. Where did you purchase it?

ordered one from amazon buttons looked a drop off and ended up breaking a week later, turns out it was fake

I also recently purchased one on ebay And get the same ''not Qfused" notification, is it fake?

probably. Pls send link

The phone also appears different than other models, including keypad lighting and the center button

i have one, its not just the quality, the service is terrible people can't hear so well on phone calls.

if you tell verizon that you have this device defective they sometimes are able to send a replacement with the same make and model

how long ago are you talking about? I havent heard any stories like that recently..

Does anyone have experience with the exalts from cell2get.com? It's listed as certified refurbished, but I'm suspicious that it may be these fakes.

Bbz No, I didn't find out anything so I just told him not to get it until I find out, to be safe

Apps4Flip-Admin is there a way to determine right away if it is fake?

Ewohis All/most say "Not Qfused" in the notifications every time you turn on the phone. If it says that it's definitely a fake.

Techgen I opened one of these up, every part is a knockoff, including the actual motherboard, made of flimsy materials. the camera is free hanging and all the parts are aftermarket parts, though if there was away to put the device to task and test it to see the speeds and all i would love to. like testing two different company sd cards to see which is more durable.

Flippy Interesting that i bumped into this thread as i was running adb commands to backup the entire device and then load the entire package back onto the device hoping the sms would go as well, but wasn't successful. Restarted the phone and then i was welcomed with this qfuse message but was happy to find that dismiss icon.

Myi So you mean it can happen on a real Lg exalt? or you are talking about a fake one?

Myi Yes since I posted that plenty of people reported them as fakes, rule of thumb nowadays is any exalt being sold for cheap online is most probably fake, and should be avoided. (Unless you want to buy it with a credit card that will give your money back and you want to deal with that hassle)

Flippy No, it was one of the fake ones.
I tried loading the entire package onto an empty new exalt hoping the SMS would backup as well.
But when I saw that didn't work I just wiped the whole phone and was welcomed with that qonfused message
