Anyone use this not as a phone, but as a Media device? Will it phone home to attempt to initialize an account, or is there a way to bypass this? My LG Volt (used for media only) is only annoying in that respect when I restart the device.

Thanks!
Don't know on question #1.

I use mine as a mini tablet. Since the phone is unlocked, it doesn't attempt to "phone home". The reason the Volt attempts to do so is because it's a no contract phone. If it was unlocked like this Fire Phone, then it wouldn't attempt to do so.

It's the difference between being unlocked vs no contract.
