Hello everyone!

I would like to know how to bypass the volume limit set by LG.

I searched all over the internet but found nothing.

If anyone knows how to do so, please tell me!

Thanks in advance.

I just noticed this yesterday. When the phone came back from the creen being off, it had a yellow washed out tint to it. I hit the sleep button on and off a few times but it didn't fix it. I manually changed the brightness to full bright but it was still washed out. Toggled it to "auto brightness" back and forth a few times and it finally came back to full white brightness.

This has since happened a few more times. I searched around but haven't found anyone reporting the same issue. Anyone ever seen this?

I have a SM-G900T, rooted via towel-root, still running 4.2.2 Buildx ANES.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tsh:
Thought I'd update in case anyone else runs into this. After some searching I didn't find any posts with a similar problem ... but plenty of people with screens just blacking out and dieing altogether. Eventually that's what happened to me ... the screen just went dead. The only way I could get it to sort of come on was to boot into recovery mode and then cancel it, that made it sort of wake up. This problem persisted through a factory reset and an upgrade to the NH5 firmware. So, I wiped it and took it to my local TMO store. This phone was three months old, but they didn't hesitate to give me a new one. I expect I'm not the first who has had this problem.

So, if it happens to you, don't waste your time. It's not a software problem. Just take it back and ask for a replacement. I hope this one lasts longer than three months.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzcos:
Hi,

I'm a longtime iOS user that just bought a galaxy s5 to see if it was good for me, I however have been disappointed because of all the annoying software that comes preloaded that slows the phone down, I tried out a nexus 5 and loved it however I had received the international version which wouldn't work with Sprint, so I thought I'd try the S5 and I like it except I wish it was more like the nexus 5(non-laggy, etc...) so now I'm curious...is there anything out there that will turn the sgs5 basically into stock Android like nexus 5? How do I install them? I couldn't find any reliables build on cyanogenmod nor could I figure out how to backup in case I wanted to revert back to standard android that came with it...I don't know if I put enough research into finding what I'm looking for but I googled and read stuff that I didn't quite understand most of the day. Any help would be very appreciated.

Sorry to ask such a dumb question to those who are going to troll.

Search XDA for s5 debloat or similar, it will give you a list of what can be removed, and I think there are some debloat tools as well.

Hello,

I have been trying to root my galaxy s3 sgh t999v by the root66 method. I have done this method before and then returned to stock, and now choosing to go back to a custom rom. However, this time odin has been failing and not allowing me to root my phone, I am using the right files as well as the stock cable that came with the s3. I have twrp installed by going through odin and installing that. But now it is stuck on either a boot loop or if I try installing the root66 or stock rom it will take me to the stuck in "please connect to kies " recovery mode screen..

Not sure what to do, any help is appreciated thank you

You can't downgrade, that's why you're getting that message. So either flash the same firmware version you had last, or a newer one

Yeah, that's 4.0.4 firmware. Try a more recent build. You can get it from my firmware thread too btw. Should give you a faster download.

I have a verizon G3 with NFC but no Qi case.

I would like to get a case or back plate with Qi. I am considering getting a Qi back plate separately and add a spigen slim armor case. There are conflicting reports of spigen case working with a Qi charger.

Can anyone recommend a suitable combination of case+charger that is known to work?

The LG slim guard is $50 total. But im not too crazy about this case.

Spigen case is 10-18, Qi back is 15-25
[G3 Accessories] Bxrider117:
I don't know if this helps but I ordered a nfc+qi pad that replaced the nfc pad that is on the back cover. It took me no more that 5 minutes to do and now I have wireless charging working.

Coming from the g2 that was important. I'm waiting on the spigen case and another tpu care to come in the mail.

Adding the wireless charging not expensive and I got to keep my original battery cover.

Here's a strange story about qi charging on my g3... Purchased the qi sticker on ebay and I already had the Nokia dt 910 fatboy qi charger, so I figured I would be good to go! Not as easy as I had hoped ?

The phone would charge with my lg circle case but not my Spigen Slim Armor case (my personal favorite), all that would happen is the dreaded disconnect and reconnect ? and a few days later I tried again and it actually worked! It still works perfectly fine.

Yes the lg g3 can use qi with the slim armor case with the right charger

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukensteinz:
Hi.

This is a strange one.

I've successfully built Dirty Unicorns ROM for Xperia Z1, all boots and runs great.

Except, TWRP fails to mount any phone partitions at all. /dev/block/by-name is also as empty as Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

As far as I can see, comparing my boot.img to a known good one, all init scripts and *.fstabs are good.

The good boot.img and good ROM it came from, work, twrp can mount everything.

However if I take the good boot.img from that ROM, (also a DU build), and use it with my fresh build, then that twrp won't see any partitions either.

It has me seriously perplexed.

Any ideas or pointers? Maybe a kernel config flag isn't enabled?

I Can't use the back button on my 8525 with PIE alone or PIE plus 2.2, every time the Back button is press it go back to the previous page and close PIE completely. I fix it by doing a hard reset but it same problem came back after a while. May be when adding some program lead to this problem.

Anyone know is there a registry edit can fix it? I don't want to hard reset just to fix this problem.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] VivaErBetis:
I got the same problem with PIE spanish version. I think that is a PIE bug...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
It might be a bug, but my feeling is Tandao suggestion of an installed application changing PIE behaviour is more likely as I've never had this problem and I use PIE a lot.

Might be an idea if both of you posted your installed applications to see if there are any common likely applications that might cause this.

A registry tweak would be nice if anyone knows which key?

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] VivaErBetis:
I guess that it's a bug because I don't notice that it works even after my last hard reset... So, unfortunately, I can't give any clue about an application that changes this behaviour.

I used PIE alone with this problem, with MultiIE (same problem) and with PIEplus (with the problem too). I finally switch to NetFront.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Although you have no other programmes running when you are using PIE, some other programmes could still be affecting how PIE works. When programmes are installed, often registry entries are changed. Don't you have any other applications installed?

Cheers

This happened to me (using Artemis) after I installed a commercail (i.e. paid for) program from Ectaco / Lingvosoft. They knew about this and sent me a file FT_ctx.arm.CAB which solved the problem. You should check other programs you have installed in case they are causing problems.

I may of misunderstood you. I thought you only saw it when the camera was open, and not in an actual picture. Can you post an actual picture to see exactly what it looks like? Maybe your lens is dirty. Like something is smudged on it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sevenslugs:
I double checked the lens is clean and there are no scratch marks or cosmetic damage anywhere on my phone...the picture above is what it looks like
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
Actually I have seen some people complain about piece of plastic inside a phone moves out of position and partially covers the lens, which does look like what you have. Look close under good light, maybe you can see it? If this is the case, either watch youtube video how to open the phone and DIY, or send it to Samsung for fix. If that's not it, then maybe some internal fault with camera, so again Samsung warranty repair or you could buy replacement camera for something like $10-$15 and replace yourself if warranty is not an option.

Ended up being covered by samsung warranty. Took my n3 into the t mobile store and they replaced it. Got a new n3 now. Thanks for the help.

version 1.20 More info bubbles on watch

View attachment 3015577

If you enable the "clock" option in your watch settings, 3 bubbles will display real-time information:

View attachment 3015578

"Set Alarm" bubble = clock

Battery app bubble = battery level If battery related applications are installed (such as Wear Battery Stats, Wear Battery Monitor) their icons will be replaced by the battery percentage, and the bubble's color will change from green to red as the battery depletes. If no battery related apps are installed, the "Set Timer" bubble will show the battery level.

"View alarms" bubble = date and day of the week

Tapping on these bubbles will still open their corresponding applications.

These info bubbles are useful, if you leave the Bubble Panel on the screen of your watch. Looks great, and you get the necessary information at a glance. I am waiting for the official watch face documentation to possibly implement this as a watch face. If no screen touches are going to be allowed on the watch face I will go improve this solution to show-through underlying cards.

version 1.30: Contact bubble cloud on Android Wear!

Android wear makes it easy to respond to calls, text messages and email right from the watch. To initiate such forms of communication, the only built in option is by voice command. This is often not convenient:

if many of your contacts have similar names

if contacts have several phone numbers

if contacts have unusually pronounced names

if you try to call somebody in a noisy environment

For these situations I implemented the contact bubble cloud that appears on the Android Wear watch:

tap the yellow contact bubble in the app bubble cloud to open the contact cloud (yellow icon is hidden if wear contact cloud is empty)

use the "Select contacts" button in the handheld app's Wear Component card to add maximum 15 contacts to the wear contact cloud

tap a contact bubble on the watch to open it's contact page

it is intended to be used with a headset: the call is made as soon as you tap one of the blue dialing buttons (home, mobile work or other). Hang up using the notification on the watch.

press the yellow envelope to create a text message by dictation. You will be able to review the message before sending

if you authenticated the app (using the button in the Wear Component card) you will be also able to send email messages from the watch by tapping the gray envelope, without taking your phone out of your pocket

press the yellow trash can icon to remove the contact from the watch (you will be prompted to long tap to confirm)

remove all contacts by pressing the yellow contact bubble in the handheld app's Wear Component card

settings such as bubble border width, or cloud background color, freeze bubbles, delete dwarfs all affect the Wear Contact Bubble Cloud too

New in v1.33: Sticky open apps on Android Wear

How many times has this happened to you? You open an app (google-keep, calculator etc.) → it stays on screen for a while, but then the screen dims and the regular watch face appears. You un-dim the screen, and now you have to switch back to the app by reopening it. Some apps keep the screen on, but that can be dangerous too, because of battery drain, if you forget to exit the app.

The revolutionary *"Sticky Open" mode* in Bubble Cloud Launcher offers a very intuitive solution: double tap an app bubble to open it, and also keep it on screen until it's not needed any more. The screen is allowed to dim, and when dimmed, the regular watch face will be displayed, but as soon as the screen is turned on again (by touch or by gesture) you will automatically be taken back to the stickied app.

While an app is stickied, a tiny lock symbol and the current time will be displayed on the top of the screen. Long press this area to turn off sticky mode. Opening the Bubble Cloud will also disable sticky mode. You can also swipe away the stickied app to access your watch face or notifications, but the app will return the next time the screen dims and un-dims.

Sticky mode is optional, you can disable it from the Wear Component card in the handheld app settings. When enabled, the Bubble cloud will not immediately slide off the screen when you tap a bubble, instead it will wait a moment to allow a second tap. This does not cause any delay in opening apps: Bubble Cloud already starts to load the selected app after the first tap.

In the non-premium version of the Bubble Cloud Launcher, an upgrade reminder is displayed sometimes before opening apps. Sticky mode is activated only when this reminder screen does not appear.﻿

version 1.38: Call log based dynamic contact bubble clouds

Starting with version 1.38 you can create extremely powerful contact cloud widgets both in your phone launcher and on the Android Wear watch:

Contact clouds which change their content dynamically based on your call log​

Choose incoming, outgoing or missed calls

Create cloud based on the last 30 days

Have new bubbles appear automatically as you make and receive calls

People you haven't contacted disappear after 30 days (may become configurable in a later version)

Combine call log groups with regular groups, to keep constant members in the bubble cloud (even if not called recently)

Combined with the dynamic bubbles sizes this can replace your dialer most of the time (depending on your usage pattern).

The same behaviour can place 15 actively contacted people on your watch automatically

or

dictate response text or email to people whom you have missed calls from.

Default contact actions in Wear Contact Bubble Cloud

Starting v1.39, you can long press one of the call or messaging buttons on the Dial screen to set it as the default contact action

You will not be prompted for an action when you tap on contacts with default action set.

Long tapping on contacts will always take you to the Dial screen, even if a default action was set earlier. Modify the default action by long pressing another action. Clear the default by long pressing on the same action again.

Note: bubbles in the contact cloud are saved and restored after you reset (and re-pair) your Android Wear device. The current version however doesn't restore the default actions, they will need to be re-assigned in the event of a reset.
