Another option is to buy the pen/stylus combo for the Universal. My original stylus always seemed loose, but the pen/stylus has always felt more snug. I've heard others talk about the same thing on here, so it seems fairly consistent.

I hardly ever use the pen portion of it, but it's nice having the stylus feel more secure.

Here's the link to the one I bought...

LG G3 Verizon Stuck on splash screen

Can this work for the Verizon version VS985?

Im having the same Problem, I tried changing the Speaker volume levels with Root Explorer and now my phone will not boot from

the Verizon splash screen.

Any help would be great thanks.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drock212:
This might be your only option... Without a proper build prop I believe the lg flash tool won't recognize the phone as any varient of the G3. Youre only choice might be to flash tot file thought fastboot itself. Only way to get to fastboot is as described in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54270708

Make sure to read up on this though. I'm not familiar with how lg doesn't allow booting into fastboot easily.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B4rnzEE:
pull your battery... wait 15 seconds.... put it back in.

hold power button and down key at the same time until you see the lg splash screen, then let go for a second, and immediately hold the same two back bezel keys until you see "factory reset"... your phone will work afterwords but will be back to square one... its a shame, but its got to be done if you don't have a custom recovery.

Its also Possible to make an update.zip with just the build.prop in it. Copy it to sdk/platform-tools and then use adb to sideload the zip to replace the build.prop and fix your misinformed tinkering... if youre on the stock recovery you would probably need a signature on the zip for it to flash, which is troublesome.

what model is your G3?

if usb debugging is not enabled and your pc is not authorized... you are buggered (excuse the pun)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suljo94:
1) go to download mode

2) install this and download the correct .kdz file for your phone

-Modelnumber is ...

-serial number is your imei number

- wait until the download is done

3) run the lgflashtool2014.exe from this zip

-Select type= cdma

-phone mode= Diag

-reset time=33000

-Should be like this when You run it

-select kdz file= is where you need to find the kdz file you just downloaded(step 1)

-then press cse flash

-in the now pop-up window select start

-select your language

-ignore error (cannot connect to lg server)

-check progress on phone up to 100% then boots in recovery installs and restarts

-wait untill it goes to the welcom screen then you can unplug

-now the most inportant step Like my post

to enter download mode do this:

--You must switch off the device to start the process.

--Then press and hold the “Volume Up” and connect the USB cable from phone to PC.

--Use the original USB cable. Because, other device’s cable may not be detected in the Computer. So, only we recommend it to use the original-- one that you got it when you bought the phone.

--Wait for the driver installation on PC.

--Then you will get the download mode screen in your phone.

--That’s it.

Hi,

I am running Carbon Mod Nightly Rom, I was looking at the Volume Blaster Mod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563209) to raise the volume up on the external speaker. I edited the file system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x. Somehow I screwed the file up after editing. After I edited it and rebooted, it gets stuck at the Carbon Logo and doesn't go any further :crying:. I have a nandroid backup, but I didnt backup until after I edited the file (before reboot). So I'm wondering can I or how do I replace the edited file (snd_soc_msm_2x) with the original file. I have the original file on the SD card in the phone. I went into the TWRP Recovery and into file manager, but I could not locate the location of the edited file from within there (system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x). Can someone please help me restore this one file so that my phone will boot up or tell me how would be the best way of getting my phone up and working again ASAP.;) Oh, I have tried exploring the backup created with Nandroid Backup Manager, well I found the file thats corrupted and opened it with File manager, select all- then delete, then pasted the contents from the working file, and then try to save, and I get an error "Operation Failed". So any help would be greatly appreciated.!!

Thanks in Advance
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
If you cant see files in /system, you just need to mount it first. Otherwise, just dirty flash the same rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bowhunter26:
Dirty Flash? I'm new to all this, so I need some help with the slang:confused:. I can explore the contents of the Nandroid backup, are there anyway possible to delete a file in the Nandroid backup and replace it with another file?? If I can do that, then I can replace the corrupted file and then restore from backup. I just dont want to reflash the clean ROM and then have to manually restore all my apps, sms and photos...:(

If I flash the backup Rom that has the corruted file, and before reboot, can I use the file manager to pull the clean file from the external card and replace the one that corrupted in the root folder. If I can do this, then it should boot normally. Otherwise if I boot with the corrupted file it gets hung after it processes all the apps. (Gets hung on Starting Apps).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bowhunter26:
I figured it out!!! :D What I did was I went into recovery, and selected the recovery nandroid backup file that was corrupted. Instead of restoring all the available options, I unchecked System. So it restored everything but the system data. The system data already installed was from the newly installed rom that was working, so by leaving the system unchecked it didnt install the corrupted system from backup! I hope I explained this where you can understand it.

Thanks for all the help DocHoliday77!! I'm just glad that worked and I dont have to manually install everything back over!!

Ok, so here's the thing. I flashed this theme, but it's not working and my phone won't boot. So I try to boot recovery, only I can't seem to get it.

This is scaring me a lot. Need help. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TenderloinShadow:
Ok, figured it out. The bootloop would go to a black screen when it froze. To get to recovery, I needed to switch to vol down 1 second before the HTC logo popped up. I used a timer to time myself properly and pulled it off.

In recovery, wiped data, restoring nandroid. Should be back up and running shortly.

What approach can I use so that my application knows its time to make the phone silent/vibrate?

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greedysoul:
I've been lately seeing multiple performance problems, having updated to official Sammy 4.4.2 Kitkat a few months ago. I'm unable to isolate these problems as separate from simply a worn out battery.I still have a fair amount of apps installed (about 100-150 total) but nothing that is an obvious cuplrit other than the usual clients: facebook, chrome, whatsapp and flipboard.

- RAM usage is very high (1.56 GB out of 1.98 GB). Killing all apps has no effect on the available RAM, there are just too many system processes that don't quit.

- battery drainage has been out of control, whereas previously I might go 14 hours on a full charge, now it's over in 3-4 hours

- battery often gets hot, while low, while charging, while using the phone, while using the screen, etc.

- apps like whatsapp often freeze for 5-15 seconds while taking keyboard input. alternate keyboards than Sammy exhibit the same problem.

- battery usage is overwhlemingly (50%+) "Android System" which could mean any of the dozen services running (facebook, google play, exchange, flipboard, briefing, email)

What I tried:

- uninstalled any big apps like games and audio

- disabled all the Sammy bloatware and froze other apps

- limited bg processes to 4 or 2 using debugger mode

Same visible problems with RAM, heat, CPU usage and battery health continue. What are my best options?

- debug it better, root the phone to get shell access and look for resource hogs

- buy a new battery

- reset phone to original settings, reinstall problem apps starting with whatsapp

- root with custom mod like cyanogen 4.4.3

- downgrade to 4.4.2

- get a performing phone like Nexus 5
