ok...lets see if you someone can help me with this...

How can i get Tasker to turn on my WIFI when the phone connects to my Network Extender?

I cant seem to find an option for that anywhere..

thanks!

Your best bet is going to do it by location. I've got mine set to turn on the WiFi when I get in the area of my house and have my phone set to automatically connect to my WiFi.

Hey, I've not installed a custom ROM since the Htc Hero days. After installing Liberty ROM on my phone its now stuck at the boot screen as I forgot to unlock S-ON to S-OFF! How can I sort this? Or am i screwed?

I'm using liberty ROM and the phone is Unlocked.

It was originally a htc ONE S locked to O2.

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

No big deal. It's just amazing how many times it happens. I think the ROM developers should put this right at the top or something when talking about installing a ROM.

I can't send text messages..... :(

I have only had my QTEK 9100 a few days so haven't needed to send any SMS text messages. Well I just tried and it doesn't work. If I compose a simple message and then attempt to send it (to a known working mobile phone) it attempts to go but comes back a few seconds later with a dialigue box saying 'Your text message cannot be sent'. I have sent a message to it from another phone and it receives OK, if I try to reply it just comes back with the same message 'Your text message cannot be sent'.

I upgraded to the RISidoro 2.26 ROM - is it possible this is the problem?

Thanks

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsp33d:
Hey there guys.

I picked my Verizion LG G3 a couple days ago. Overall I really like the phone. Love the camera, the design, screen size, ect.

There is however one thing that is driving me NUTS... The effing screen. The one main selling point of the phone seems to be its main downfall. Yes, the Quad HD resolution looks sharp sometimes. There is very aggressive screen sharpening going on with the display though. It is especially noticible in Black test with "off white" backgrounds. Its easy to notice in the Play Store looking at the text and then pulling down the notification shade slightly. That darkens the background a little and brings out the sharpening a whole lot.

I know this issue has been touched on before in other posts, but I've yet to find some particular information...

I've yet to see if anyone has noticed weather this is something affecting ALL G3 models... Because i have seen posts where people are claiming to not see this effect at all.. and then others that do. I'm curious if there is some correlation between the types of G3's that seem to be affected by this, or if it is just on all G3's and people that cant see it just have bad vision to begin with.

Also, has anyone been able to get any sort of response to LG about this yet? I've emailed them, live chatted, and phoned them with no luck. The live chat rep was the most useful and told me that he would try to get the information as far up the ladder as he could and would reach out to me when he hears back.

This is so frustrating to me. It's like buying a brand new Ferrari and having a big scratch on the door. The phone is so great, but this text sharpening is making me really dislike reading on the device, and just looking at the screen in general. I know others have already returned their devices because of this, but i'm really hoping LG would be able to come out with some sort of software update to be able to turn it off. Thats the shred of hope i'm holding on to at this point.

Does anyone have any further information about this yet?

PREACH! It only happens on some items. Its like things are compressed oddly. Anyone know if its software or a screen thing?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsp33d:
It has to be software. Just has to. But it's most noticible with black text on an "off white" background. The black letters have a white glow to them. Like I said above if you look at text in the play store and then start to pull down the notification shade slowly, you can really notice it then.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lua70:
For the more technologically sound people on here, what is it that's enabling the text sharpening? Is it kernel stuff or could it be fixed with an xposed module or just an app? In other words, why has no one addressed this yet? There's G3 Tweaks Box but nothing in there regarding the sharpening.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsp33d:
From the research I've been doing on the issue it appears it's kernel level stuff. I am by no means an expert on it. What pisses me off about this is why more people aren't complaining and getting LG to do something about it. At least respond to their customers about an issue with their product.

But if we can't get LG to acknowledge the problem or address it, then we need to start getting people to make some ROMS and address it in our own way.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p2im0:
Verizon VS985 here and this issue bugs the crap out of me. Some web-pages the entirety of the text is "sharpened" but I do agree, it mostly happens with black text on an off-white background.

Testing using the PlayStore and the Notification shade shows it off but not quite to the degree that I've seen on some pages.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welcomehome:
Inspite of my worries about sharpening, I bought this phone one week ago from Vodafone DE on a 2 year contract and while the sharpening is still there, it's no where near as bad as the first set of models that I tested mid August.

It is most visible on light grey backgrounds. Cloud Magic's read E-Mails or What's App's text entry area are victims of this.

The phone is not as fast as the M8 at the moment BUT it also only has Android 4.4.2 on it.

My M8 really sped up with 4.4.3. so I'm reserving my opinion until I see 4.4.3 on the G3.

The display is incredible, the included Quad HD movies really show what the screen can do.

I haven't noticed excessive heating except while playing XCOM, which looks incredible on this screen.

There is a noticeable lag but it's not as bad as the S5 but it's also not as smooth as the M8.

Either way it doesn't disturb me and I'm pretty fussy about things like that. I use Nova Launcher.

I've sold my M8 as I wanted a larger screen and I can't wait to see what LG can do with this phone.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curleyyy:
I'm in Australia and picked up the D850 (It might be the D855, I can't quite remember, I actually lost my G3 about a month ago) and the sharpening wasn't anywhere like the other versions from Asia/America/EU. I had a chat with the Optus sales people at various stores and they all mentioned the AU version had the effect either lessened or removed. HOWEVER. Upon receiving the device I started modding it, and after flashing 10F firmware, the sharpening effect appeared.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerionius:
Why are you so sure it will be still there when running a custom rom? I only noticed the issue on text, not on icons or images, so I think it's emplemented in the text rendering engine. And even if I'm wrong - on my Find 5 you were able to change the Contrast/Screen Color/Saturation in Cyanogenmod - so why wouldn't you theoretically be able to remove the sharpening?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer3032:
I really would hope that its in the text rendering engine but from what I believe I saw that wouldn't be true. If it was truely that simple I would only assume someone would have figured it out being that the device has a unlocked bootloader. I returned my device though and my G2 doesn't hurt my eyes to read it and doesn't cramp my hand to hold it. In my opinion the G3 basically has the worst screen in a phone currently being sold because of this sharpening, if it simply was removed it would be pretty much the best.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerionius:
Yeah, apparently you are right: The sharpening doesn't occur in screenshots. But I still think it could be fixed.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mostrapotski:
I'm not sure it can be fixed, i'm afraid not :(

This screen does look so ugly.

Worst site for me:

Guys, I made this thunderclap petition to hopefully get LG's attention and have them remove this piece of s*** software sharpening. So far only about 30 people have signed it, but I still have my hopes that we'll reach 500 before the deadline.

Here's the link, plese support with all 3 social networks if you have accounts in them:

https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/17651-kill-the-lg-g3-oversharpening

P.S.: I contacted LG about the problem and the guy that responded said I should "send my phone in for repairs because this was most likely a hardware issue"... I swear to god, I was reading that very same e-mail on my phone and NOTICING the sharpening as I was scrolling down. I was MAD. I'm still mad and I'm not gonna let LG get away with this.

Either we fight, or we stick with devices we spent a ton of money on that don't do what we want. What are YOU gonna do?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowlands:
My new LG G3 (2GB, EU-Version) also have that annoying Sharpness Problem. I think I get some headache, if I look too long on the oversharpened screen :(

I had a support-chat with the German LG-Support. It says, there are not many complaints about it - but there are some. They send these complaints to the LG in Korea without receiving any answer.

But the support confirms that it is a software issue. Is there any progress in kernel development to turn off this over-sharpness?

Thanks. I use the camera a lot and it just bothers me. Great phone but I just can't seem to get good pics no matter what settings I use. I have 1 week left to return it. Might swap for the s5.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsp33d:
Yeah the S5 is a great phone. I've actually been able to take some excellent shots with my G3 though the screen sharpening is a software problem. One main thing that's holding me back from going S5 is Samsungs Bluetooth issues. I have Bluetooth in my car and headphones. Playing audio back always causes it to go in and out. Same with my old Note 3 and S4. Plus the G3 screen size is really growing on me. But the S5 is an awesome phone. It's like choosing between a BMW and a Mercedes. You'll be a winner either way.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sic0048:
Actually I think this "sharpness" issue is actually a scaling issue. If you take that same website and magnify it, the text will become more clear as you more in. Also, if you take a screenshot, the text looks normal and clear, while the rest of the text which looked crisp and clear on the screen starts to get a little jagged on the magnified views or screenshot.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsp33d:
It only looks clearer because the effect is less noticeable when the letters are larger in size. It's still visible to me though.

Any black text on off-white background has the halo effect

Screenshots seem not to have the effect- they come out pixel perfect when zoomed in. This makes me think it's either fixable (software added effect rendered post-processing) or un-fixable (screen hardware added effect). Time will tell

I think you are right.:) I don't know how the backend stuff works but it would be so strange to release a phone worldwide, and have such a glaring problem.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer3032:
I see plenty of it, I'm near sighted and have extremely good focusing ability which makes this extremely annoying. I'm gonna give it another couple wheels then probably go back to a LG G2 which has a far better screen. Maybe such a crazy DPI is why we don't see phones with this DPI?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeGuyDude:
No you don't. What you see are exceptionally faint artifacts from JPG compression. You don't see a damn bit of oversharpening and halo. It's not there. Even put side by side with the other pictures showing oversharpening that should be plain as day.

Need a comparison? Here.

Oversharpening on the right, NOT oversharpening on the left. The faint pixel oddities on the left are the same you'd see if I took a picture out of a magazine page.

Your "extremely good focusing ability" is BS. I'm also nearsighted. It's not there.

I don't know about you but i have terrible vision. :D

I can see the over-sharpening on anything with a grayish background i.e. the playstore. the fonts look jagged. i'm getting used to ignoring it but again sometimes it just gets to me.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer3032:
I'm looking at my phone right now and compared to a G2 side by side and most fonts look messed up at anything but huge size. Small fonts have halos and it makes it hard to read. Anything in a quote box looks like total **** while a G2 looks perfectly fine. Hell my HTC Desire Z can almost display text clearer. Its no where near as exaggerated as the right picture but nowhere near what my G2 looked like or any other screen I use.

I was just at the optometrist a few days ago, my prescription was updated and he tested my focusing ability on close text. I was told that my eyes were able to hold focus far better than most people which along with my near sightedness let's me focus on things most people can't. Yeah thanks for the concern about my eyes though, I'll take the advise of a practising optometrist of more than 40 years.

Either the crazy DPI makes text look "bad" or there's oversharpening which supposedly doesn't exist on the Oppo QHD screen. I absolutely love everything about the device but I find the screen mediocre.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeGuyDude:
I think the issue is that some devices have it and others done. There isn't ANY of it on mine.

Here's my FINAL attempt to prove it (again, click for full size):

The top is my G3, the bottom is the back of a DVD case. The pixels go from black STRAIGHT to the background. The tiny bit of "border" you're getting is the exact same top and bottom.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smacklayer:
I will chime in as well that the G3 does have a halo around small text on mid range back grounds. It is very pronounced in some cases. I did the side by side on my G2 and it is most certainly there. Asked my wife, she confirmed too.

As stated before, I am getting used to it as well, but just lots of these little things like this on this phone are taking the steam out of my excitement for this new phone.
