When using the PIA VPN app, I get this in Logcat: "Your image does not support the VPNService API, sorry :("

When using the Basic VPN choice under the network settings, it says it connects to the designated server, but there's no communication when trying to actually use the internet.

This runs a LOT smoother than 2.2.0 for me, so I like it a lot. I still have some issues with the camera having a blur to it, where even tapping on it to adjust itself doesn't work. It seems much more prevalent when I record things. I have calibrated the phone, too. Anyone have any advice for this? I'm running the camera with this phone and have no additional add-ons. Thanks.
[Verizon LG G2] lonestarranger:
Sorry if this has already been answered, but how do I list all the open apps? On phones with virtual android keys, holding the 'Menu' button would do this, but holding the software/virtual 'Menu' button on this ROM opens up the other menu - which doesn't have an option for listing all the open apps. Am I missing something obvious?

EDIT: I'm a doofus. Holding down the 'home' key seems to list the open apps. Anyway, if 'Google Now' is selected - holding down the 'menu' key seems to launch 'Google Now' - and doesn't give the other menu.

EDIT 2: Long press on 'menu' key --> Google now. One press -> 'Settings' menu.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Lol yeah lg with their previous software was a bit behind and kept a menu key instead of updating to the recents key. I always change it using xposed when it's there because I see no reason to always have a menu key available when most apps have it built in.

Anyone else running this Rom and using a Wear device? I have a G Watch R that has never really worked that well in terms of connectivity and battery life and I'm on xdabbeb 2.2.0. My feeling is that it has to do with Bluetooth and the way the watch and phone are talking that is draining the battery.
[Verizon LG G2] smarcisin:
I'm on 2.3 and use an LG G watch...no issues
[Verizon LG G2] Stbrightman:
Thx. Ima update to 2.3 and see if that helps. Two questions for you: do you have an option in 2.3 in Bluetooth-settings for the connected g watch that gives you a connection choice between automatic or always ask? And what kind of battery life are you getting on the watch?
[Verizon LG G2] smarcisin:
Yes, I have that option in BT settings and it generally lasts me a full day, 530am-9pm. But I keep screen off.
[Verizon LG G2] Stbrightman:
FWIW I was getting about the same battery life as you and after seeing plenty of users claiming 2+ days, I decided something was up and changed that setting to 'automatic' and started getting 24 hours routinely. The problem is that the setting reverts to 'always ask' seemingly at random but also with reboots and Bluetooth power cycles. When it does revert, I notice my watch battery dropping rapidly. I guess the question is: is that Bluetooth setting specific to android 4.4.2 or is it specific to this Rom? I'm seeing lots of responses in another thread I've started on this issue where no one has this setting....

missing imei but phone working

There may be a better place for this post, but I'm looking for some educated advice. Sometime in the process of flashing through ROMS my IMEI and IMEISV have been zero'd out on my G2. However, unlike every other poster I've seen, the phone works fine and makes calls, has data etc. I do *not* have a backup of the EFS partition.

From looking through the broader XDA forums, especially the TMo forums, it appears the only way to fix this is flash stock and run some utilities to set the IMEI. Because my phone is working and I'm worried I will screw up the EFS partition, I'm a little reluctant to take this on. Having said that, I'm getting close upgrading and I probably can't trade it in without the IMEI number.

Thanks and sorry if this should have gone elsewhere.

LG G2 xdabbeb's vs982.5
[Verizon LG G2] virginwidow:
OK, so Xmas "donated" me a throw away vs980.... basicly it was bricked.

So it's taken this "spoonfeeder" this long to know enough to say anything. Obviously unbricked it, found it's gotta clean IMEI, so first thing to do is drop sbadebs ROM 230 innit.

I've hacked my way though several glitches and bricks since then, finally figured out what is my trouble.

Checked the "BAseband" and it's 24a, (probably the last OTA that came in before it became a throw away brick) even though I've installed the ROM. The best fix I can figure is flash the bumped26a kernel, bootstack, TWRP package?

I'll let y'all know it this sets it straight. I've gotten very good at UN bricking :) ha ha

vw

EDITTED: Got the 26a bootstack loaded and working :) AFTER the Rom was in. How cool is that. Now. How the heck do I get the GPS working? I've loaded the GPS apps from "play" and basicly, it says my GPS is "dead" thanks
[Verizon LG G2] kswolf77:
26A bootstack did the same to my GPS. Took forever to get any signal and never was accurate. I just reflashed the 24A modem and bingo! Make sure to back up your EFS before you do it. Must be something in it that doesn't agree with our phones.
[Verizon LG G2] virginwidow:
GPS partial fix!

I need to become a little more proficient with things like backing up EFS. If someone could link me to a tutorial ? I didn't realise when I first loaded this, that my fone held the 24a base, the GPS was just as bad there. Got the 26a base in there now.

I've "somewhat" fixed GPS. Using the play app GPS Status, following destructions from that app: It said stand near a window, no satellites, so then I tried walking outdoors (my house has a tin roof) -- STILL no satellites. Since the destructions said, "Clear view of the Sky" I walked wayyyy up my driveway, out from under the BARE LIMBS OF TREES.... Suddenly (after restting GPS and etc), I get about 6 sats!

Which now locate me within like 80 meters which is fine. HOWEVER -- I have yet to test this in the car (with a metal roof)

Using AndroidTS GPS test, the gps fluctuates sometimes locating me accurately, then jumping to a point about 2 miles from here, then back to "close to" accurate. This seems to indicate the s/w (GPS testing app used) is getting "confused" ?? The accurate locates would have to be coming from satellites? But then it "flops" back to an inaccurated default when satellite signal becomes weak? (I am guessing how it works)

Would this indicate a hardware problem with my device (getting poor satellite signals) obviously GPS *IS* working in the ROM or it'd not work at all. (?) I suspect the intermittent position jumps are HARDWARE for my vs980?

If the problem still exists between 24A and 26A, it could be. I'm no expert, but from my understanding, most of what makes these things work anymore is code related.

It was worth it to me to try the older modem on the new bootstack. I use GPS and Google earth a lot for work, so I kinda need it to be spot on.

Touch Screen Issues

So I updated to v2.3 with a clean install coming from v2.1

I have what seems to be a dead area in the middle of my touch screen. When swiping from top to bottom, there is an area right in the middle that does not respond. After doing some research on XDA, it seems like some people used the VZW Hidden Setting menu to update the touchscreen firmware to fix some of these problems...

So my questions:

1. Anyone else have this issue on v2.3?

2. Should I give the hidden settings menu a go or simply clean flash the ROM again and see if that does the trick?

Just curious about it before I spend a bunch of time this afternoon trying to reflash and whatnot. Thanks Devs! and of course Xdabbeb for a great ROM!
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=2853520]vt.thomaso[/MENTION]

I've flashed well over three hundred different Roma on my phone, from stock to aosp to muiui ports, and have never had a ROM give me a dead zone.

Try to hidden menu, because it is built into the ROM. (Before you ask how, use the search function)

If that doesn't work tot back to stock and file for a replacement.

I don't know if dead zone is a good term for it, it just isn't responding properly...sometimes it works, others it doesn't. If that's not the correct method to get into the Hidden Menu, please let me know.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:

Deadspot typically means nothing at all. Then again it might be the hardware showing signs of failure.

Never had one so I don't know if it occurs over time, or if you just wake up one day and nothing.

Edit: third post has your answer. Menu is built into the ROM directly as it is on all of his Roms. You call it up

[Verizon LG G2] skylordusa1:
Sorry to hear that man. Sounds like its gonna be a hardware issue. I had the same problem with my last G2. I had a dead zone about an inch down from the top of the screen which was about an inch wide and all the way across the screen. It wasnt fully dead at first it would respond every once in a while. It would also cause my phone to go berzerk sometimes by opening apps and links and stuff on its own. Then eventually it went completely dead and no matter what I did fixed. it. I tried updating the touchscreen firmware and reflashing a few roms clean. I even flashed back to factory and no dice that one zone was dead. lucky I was in my 1 year warranty when it happened so Verizon sent me a refurb for free. I also saw online alot of other people complaining about the same issue and they all had to get replacements as well.

To test it Open up the notebook app and draw lines up and down the screen if the line is disconnecting once you hit that zone and then reconnecting after you pass it which means you would now have 2 lines instead of one. Its most likely hardware and you gonna have to get a replacement cause that zone is eventually gonna fully die.

I know for a fact he's cooking up a new build of his G3 ROM.

There's not a huge amount of things you can do with a stock experience.

Aside from upgrading the baseband with 27a, what exactly are you looking for him to do?
[Verizon LG G2] pattonsj:
I don't think he has. He is probably putting more time into his G3 port now. It is rather odd because all the devs have been very quite recently. It makes you wonder if something big is on the horizon. I have only seen comments by dori and blastagator in the last few days.
[Verizon LG G2] skylordusa1:
"There's not a huge amount of things you can do with a stock experience." Really I did not no that. hahahah just playing.

I was just curious cause I havent seen anything from him on here in a bit and like you mentioned he didnt push out the 27A (Or bug fix as Verizon calls it) update yet.

In the past he always put the updates out pretty much right away so was just wondering if he moved on. But that makes sense if he is concentrating on the g3 port more.

Place the ZIP package you want to install in the same location where you keep ADB drivers - adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll (usually it's SDK\platform-tools)

Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in Settings > Development on your device

Make sure your phone drivers are installed on the PC you're going to use

Boot your device in recovery mode (Android logo with a exclamation mark) and connect your device to PC

Hold down "power" button first, followed quickly by "volume up" button. You should now see the recovery menu

Use the volume up/down keys to select "apply update from ADB," then press power to select it

Open a command prompt on the PC (cmd.exe), type and confirm with ENTER:

cd /d <adb.exe location> (for example: cd /d c:\SDK\platform-tools) or you can open your SDK/platform-tools folder, then press SHIFT button and the right-click mouse button and choose “Open command prompt here”

adb sideload <filename>.zip (for example: adb sideload update.zip)

The zip package will begin installing. When it's done, select "reboot system now."

You have to download an app that let you slow down the video. If you don't use that mode the video is choppy while the 120 FPS mode let you have slow motion smoothly. Check the Play Store for "slow motion". For example, try "Easy Slow Movie Player" to playback your clip.
