[Verizon LG G3] Eyalkn:
I installed the driver on my work computer which is Windows XP and this is what I get in the device manager, it doesn't recognize it although I am connected to the computer in download mode. I have the Verizon LG G3 so I even tried to install the dedicated Verizon drivers that I found in this thread and still no go. Please help on finding drivers for windows XP.
[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
I got that and then I unplugged the USB, waited a few seconds and plugged it back in and it then showed under communications.
[Verizon LG G3] Eyalkn:
Thank you it worked and I am back :)
[Verizon LG G3] dlscott1111:
Couldn't get the flashtool to download. One file is an .ink file and nothing happens when i try to download the flashtool at the right of the screen.

Edit: Got the files downloaded, when I run flashtool without a device attached it has a login screen, I'm assuming this won't occur if the phone is hooked up to it?
[Verizon LG G3] ins5736:
Yes.

[Verizon LG G3] hijax2001:
I am an experienced Android hacker, and still got a bit lost with the tutorial. While I appreciate the excellent work here, you might consider editing/adding the information to help clarify the following:

1. The TOT file at http://www.mediafire.com/download/6i..._Stock_TOT.zip, https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7379qhBA5bnVWQwLU9GNkk3ZGs&usp=sharing, and http://fs1.androidfilesharing.com/d123f6f2cfa13038 are all identical - and we only need one or the other. Please identify the other TOT links as mirrors to the same file, so people aren't downloading all of them unnecessarily (especially as they each are so very large).

2. There is already a MegaLock.dll file installed in the LGFlashTool folder once the application is installed. When you say add .dll files to the LGFlashTool folder, please clarify if MegaLock.dll needs to be overwritten by the other file with the same name (found in Setup_LGFlashTool_1.8.1.1023.zip), or otherwise. It might also help to clarify specifically which dll files are moving to the LGFlashTool folder, and from where. I ended up overwriting the default MegaLock.dll with the one you provided before I started the process...

3. Ports won't often show in Device Manager unless you go to View and then Show Hidden Devices in the Device Manager application.

4. After clicking the yellow arrow, unplugging and plugging the phone back in did nothing to start the process. Nor did plugging it back in while holding volume up (like in your 2nd step). I had to unplug, power the phone on, and then when the red Verizon screen appeared I plugged back in. This triggered the start of the Flash process. An easy way to tell you're in the right spot during the process: the red Verizon screen will disappear and a Firmware Updating screen will pop up to show you progress on the phone. When done, the phone will power cycle automatically...then, after a few other brief items, the red "3" on the blue screen will appear.

WARNING: Don't forget to close the LGFlashTool on your PC when you're done. Because...if you have anything else to do during the same session (such as rooting the phone), when you power cycle the phone while it's still plugged into your PC, LGFlashTool will take over and proceed to flash your phone again!!

Thanks again for your hard work. The tutorial was indeed helpful.

Sorry if this has been answered in one of the other threads on this topic, but does this reset the root flag/counter like it did on the g2? Thanks.

As far as I know, but I rerooted immediately. :D

Haha thanks. Just curious in case something goes funky hardware-wise. My g2 screen went wonky after a few months and I had to warranty it, unrooting was easy. Hope this pulls through if I ever need to!
[Verizon LG G3] BrUhNiGGs:
Thank you so much for this you saved my ass. I tried to restore my original build.prop but forgot to fix permissions and it totally bricked my phone D:
[Verizon LG G3] viper3two:
>>>FIXED, SEE BELOW

I'm trying this and I am stuck. Got all files downloaded, installed lg tool and got to the point of restarting the phone into download mode. No problem there. Issue is I can't find the COM ports in the device manager. Running Windows 8.1 pro, don't see a section for the COM ports. I do see CDC EM, CDC Serial and LGE Android Phone, but when I right click, there is no PORT option to change....

[IMG="DevMgr"]http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j84/viper3two/devmgr_zpse96da643.jpg[/IMG]

I know I am getting close if I can just figure how to change the port on the device manager.

Any help?

update>>>when i double click the lge android phone in dev mgr, it says drivers are not installed. I have installed drivers. I also tried removing drivers and rebooting then reinstalling drivers, same thing. It shows up but looks like it can't find the right drivers.

>>>>FIXED. Removed lg flash tool. Removed drivers. rebooted. reinstalled everything. plugged in the usb and phone showed up this time, was able to change to com41 and it worked. Not sure what happened but it worked flawless this time...

THANK YOU!!!

Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] ins5736:
Glad you got it sorted! The second law of IT support (unistall and start over) saves the day again. :D

Thanks again for this method, it worked out great. Glad to know I got a fallback if I jack something up :)

[Verizon LG G3] marlowe310:
Quick question, apologies if it's idiotic -- basically I (stupidly, it turns out) tried to change my VZW boot animation. No dice. But now I can't get the old one back to working again, which is buggin me out.

QUESTION: Would reflashing to stock in the manner described in this thread completely restore the phone, including that boot animation? I'm just crazy enough about this to actually do it, if it'd work.

Thanks A TON for any info.
[Verizon LG G3] mikelikesbikes:
I would think. I'm new to the g3, but I think this is a tool to restore to stock out of the box. Relating to an Odin restore with Samsung. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Verizon LG G3] ins5736:
It would work. You might want to look around for the boot ani first though.

[G3 General] kyomagi:
I set my screen off of auto and up to 90, i cant do dim displays, and every time i run antutu it shuts down. could it be this one device or is it all the g3's
[G3 General] hello00:
just you
[G3 General] denis111:
I have very hot weather in the office (AC works bad). And after OTA update my phone was constantly rebooting like 2 min. after startup. I turned it off, waited 5 min to cool it down and then it worked fine...
[G3 General] kyomagi:
wow, such a grown up and not childish reply.
[G3 General] atistang:
I starting playing golfstar which works the phone pretty hard. At first I noticed how much better the frame rate was compared to my s4, after about 5mins the frame rate went to crap. I can only assume the phone was throttling due to heat. I never got any warnings though
[G3 General] lossah:
I dont have this problem at all. Was running antutu benchmark two times in a row yesterday with 100% brightness without auto activated, AND charging, and it reached 36C. And its about 27C in this room.
[G3 General] kyomagi:
ya i think im going to the s5 or the nexus 5, it keeps happening, so im done.
[G3 General] partylikeaninjastar:
Are you only having a problem trying to do a benchmark at high brightness or are you having problems with regular use? I use Lux for autobrightness and it's bright enough for me and I have no issues with over heating.

Also, I wouldn't downgrade to the Nexus 5 if you're giving up on this phone. Not saying it's a bad phone, but it's comparatively a downgrade. A G2 would be a better downgrade than that or side grade to the S5 or M8 or whatever it is the HTC phone is called.
[G3 General] kyomagi:
it was during the bench. But i did a battery pull and ran 3 straight benchmarks with no overheating issues. But then i did the no lag trick and tried again with it powering down

So the next best device is the m8 you say?
[G3 General] partylikeaninjastar:
I'd first suggest you just use the phone and not worry about the benchmarks. Benchmarks are meant to push the system so that could be why you're having problems. With daily use, even with the screen as bright as you have it, you may not notice any other issue. Give it a chance first.

And from reviews I've read, it does sound like the M8 is the next best. I almost considered it, but it's about the same size as the G3 with a smaller screen. Fortunately, I'm loving my G3.
[G3 General] dondavis007:
My phone shuts down when reading books on the beach in Turkey. I think the heat sensitiviness is one thing the latest patch should fix , I hope :)
[G3 General] scy1192:
Mine's never dimmed but it gets warm enough such that it starts throttling back to ~1.6 GHz. Definitely not hot though.
[G3 General] kyomagi:
ya i was playing a game and it was def getting pretty hot
[G3 General] Tectas:
The no lag trick, is no real trick, it turns off stuff to keep your device save from overheating, so, that's why it turned off afterwards.

I've kept the stock setting and never had any shutdowns or noticed any performance problems at games or dim, it gets warm sometimes at long gaming, but that's it.

Sent from my LG-D855
[G3 General] stefan063:
Have you tried factory reset from start up screen not settings?
[G3 General] kyomagi:
i got a different phone, from a different batch, the phone gets hot still, but not too hot and its not shut down yet. so far so good. great phone
[G3 General] BoundsChecking:
If you are returning a phone because it will shut down during a benchmark, then why did you get the phone in the first place?
[G3 General] mingkee:
You are not alone. Mine can get very hot when playing games (especially when charging), and I have to stop game to cool it down.

The situation gets worse when dual layer case installed. I have to remove the case to cool the phone down.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

I am sure mine does "thermal throttling".

When the phone gets hot, Quadrant goes down to 12,xxx.

When the phone cools down, Quadrant goes back to normal (23,xxx).
[G3 General] kyomagi:
sorry, your question does not make sense.

I bought the phone because it had nice specs. i returned the phone because it was apparently defective. My new LG G3 has not overheated to shut down. got a little hot but not bad
[G3 General] aygul12345:
I'm still wondering how are NOW the LG G3 are this moment? do they still have overheated issue?

How is the camera in 4k recording? is that fixed?

The following link will bring up the other auctions for the person that i bought it from (platinumaccessoriesstore):

I haven't found a regular store that sells them yet, but this protector is the best i've seen
[HTC Excalibur] pmuller:
Cool thanks. I was planning on getting one and didn't know which one on eBay to buy - and was thinking about just waiting until they're around in the stores... but now I can get this one right now.
[HTC Excalibur] oldsap:
im planning on buying a screen protector for my DASH, which hasn't arrived yet, and would like to verify if this is the correct size of the screen itself:

2.4"

Sony T1 Sony T11 Sony W1 Sony DV

50.5mm X 37.5mm
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
Well, the screen protector fits exactly the width/height of the screen, so I would guess it's correct :)
[HTC Excalibur] oldsap:
Thanks Merwin :) Actually there's no accessories for Dash here in my country so i'll have to buy one that's exactly the same dimension or a little bit larger and trim it. :)
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Back when this was posted, I bought some -- it was the easiest-to-apply screen protector I've ever used, and yes, it's the perfect size. It's also stayed on for months now, I still have the spares -- very good find.
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
Yeah, I still have the same one on mine too :) I got worried when my son put his teeth into my phone at one point. Had a tiny scratch on the protector. I just left it alone and the mark on the protector even went away.
[HTC Excalibur] sandro.bertini:
Hi there,

I always used the BoxWave screen protector in all my devices (some 4 PDAs/Phones and 1 iPod) and realy liked them very much.

They have very high rates in all reviews (thats how I got to them in first place) and they ship anywhere (due to the size of the package, barely larger than a regular envelope, it usualy goes fine to customs and other verifications).

For touch screen devices I recomend the Anti-glare (has a realy nice texture to write into) and for my Dash I am going to try the Crystal.

[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
I chose this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320050331056

It really is anti-scratch - its impossible to scratch it, but the downside is that since it is quite thick it makes the screen a little shimmery.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
The Boxwaves are OK, but not as good as the ones originally posted about in this topic. The corners on the Boxwaves started coming loose and unsticking after a couple weeks. The ones Merwin found are still sticking after several months.
[HTC Excalibur] xandermac:
www.bestskinsever.com are quite frankly the best skins ever!.
[HTC Excalibur] oowhiteice:
I have been using screen protectors from http://www.expertshield.com on all of my phones for quite awhile now and have had no problems with them at all. They ship from Hong Kong and get to to US in less than a week. Just look at the Dopod C720w. Its the same as the dash.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HugePotato:
Hey guys,

I managed to get my Z2 to connect to PC by WiFi. Annoying thing tho, is that I need to click to connect on the phone every time I need to transfer anything. Can Z2 and PC connect automatically or at least is there option to connect from PC without touching the phone? I have been using Airdroid on my previous phone and it worked great but I like the fact that I don't need to open browser and Z2 is accesible by Windows Explorer.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
You can try using the Pair with PC function. Go to Settings -> Xperia Connectivity -> USB Connectivity -> Pair with PC and follow the instructions. But I've never been able to pair with my PC, so I just rely on AirDroid.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HugePotato:
Yea I paired and it worked but after you disconnect you have to manually reconnect from phone which is kind of annoying.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tourafri:
Hi guys newbie here, why should I install a custom rom such as cyanogenmod on my phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iam_douchebag:
Simply because stock roms contain lots of bloatware and that would hinder the performance of gs5. And custom roms like cyanogenmod give you a bloatless rom and pure experience of android. Also, there are lots of customization we can have on it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -PiLoT-:
you shouldn't...unless you want to.

only you can make this decision
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tourafri:
Wooow thanks for that information, now which would you guys recommend?

Stock camera.. Album..xperia keyboard and had the goodness of miui..

But the rom was fairly stable
