G6100 Convert To G610f Page

• Bugs: Users frequently report "Ghost Touches," Wi-Fi disconnections, and erratic battery drain. This happens because the touchscreen/sensor controllers on the G6100 board might have a different revision than what the G610F drivers expect.
• Network: This is the dealbreaker. Many users report that while the phone works, 4G/LTE bands are mismatched. You might end up with a phone that only connects to 2G/EDGE because the G610F modem config cannot properly handshake with the G6100 RF hardware.
