[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] code65536:
That's why I said a locked bootloader was only one of the means. Carrier SIM locking discourages use on another carrier (the Motos are easy to unlock but many other phones are harder), and bootloader locking discourages people who have no intention of using it on any carrier and just want a device for the hardware.

Obviously these are imperfect since I bought a XT830C with no intention of using it as a phone at all, but limited deterrent is better than zero deterrent for them. For example, Consumer Cellular offers a 2nd gen Moto G for a substantial discount from the vanilla XT1064. With an easy to defeat SIM and an unlocked bootloader, it's easy for people to just convert it to a regular XT1064, and everyone at SlickDeals who buys it is not planning to use it on CC. People would still do that if they can't remove CC's customizations, but not as many.

Also, bootloader locking protects Cricket's “features” like their crippled tethering. Again, not perfect since you can use a non-Cricket phone for that...

Anyway, I am not saying that I agree with this practice (I was hoping to do more with my XT830C, but can't). Just offering the “insight” that the first post asked for.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cxrvxntxs:
SIM unlocked

Excuse me, where did you unlock it for 2 dollars?
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolwatpear:
That has nothing to do with it. Bootloader unlocking isn't sim unlocking, so I don't see your point. In fact, they've failed (based on what you said), since I AM using it on a different carrier other than Cricket, since I was able to sim unlock it.

ATT is just making sure most of their phones get locked now. They likely want to force people to use their worthless software and preventing bricking phones. The only recent one that hasn't been shut down is the HTC m8 as far as I know.

edit: saw you're second post " bootloader locking discourages people who have no intention of using it on any carrier and just want a device for the hardware."

Still, bootloader locking only discourages small niche of people. You don't need to root to make this a useful $50 small tablet. I can't imagine that is the main thought that goes through their heads when they decide to lock it.

Hello Devs,

Does anyone know how to make the lock screen transparent? There is a xposed module to do so. But unfortunately it was not supported [emoji19] Please help me if you have any idea..
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonryder:
hi guy,

is there a dev out who build a tool for backing up TA?

Without TA-backup it is no good idea to root your Z3C (loosing the DRM-keys).

Thx in advance

m.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isocadia:
Currently we cannot backup the TA partition because root is needed for that. Once we have a working root exploit that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader you will be able to backup the TA partition.

I don't recommend unlocking the bootloader due to the loss in camera quality. Even though there currently is a hack available which restores the functionality after a bootloader unlock, not everyone reports it as working properly.

Obviously if the camera quality and Sony services don't matter to you there is nothing stopping you from unlocking the bootloader
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonryder:
...and that´s the reason why i asked for it. So we have to wait for a rooting method without UB. :o

I prefer leather flip style cars. I found Tetded on my G3 and they make a quality product. Only bad part is shipping. It took like 30 days to arrive from Korea. They already have a bunch available on there website. I splurged and paid for the extra shipping so well see if it comes any quicker. Zeus cases should be available this week. I'm going to grab one of those two. Anyway, if you like leather cases try Tetded. They look cool, are made well, and are real leather. I don't get the ones with kickstand, but if that's your thing, the way they do it is pretty sick.

[Verizon LG G3] stillmatic917:

The headphone jack on the G3 is often flakey plugging stereo headphones instead of a headphones with Mic often confuses the G3 sensor. Anything with 3 bands instead of two should work fairly reliably.

[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
This is an issue that I had for a couple hours, and then all of a sudden it started working again. I did uninstall lg g3 tweaksbox prior to it starting to work again, and rebooted a couple times and a little while later everthing was fine again. So I'm not sure exactly what caused it, but it does seem to be a hit or miss issue. If you have xposed installed, I would try uninstalling anything that is specifically meant for the G3 stock rom as opposed to AOSP, then reboot a time or two, and see if things start randomly working again. This is a long shot, but mines been working fine ever since it started working again, so that's all I currently have :)
[Verizon LG G3] tcoursey:
That sounds very similar to what I had. It was working (I'm pretty sure) but now it's not. I do have TweakBox and Xposed installed. I 'll look to see if there is anything that got "restored" from google settings that could have changed something. Thanks for pointing that out.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

That seemed to have do it. I uninstalled TweakBox, as with AOSP I really don't need it (came from install on Stock, restored)... I rebooted and then it began working again...although not the very first or second time...maybe it hadn't loaded up the code for that...

Works now! Thanks again.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
You're welcome. It's definitely a wierd issue, however no real reason to have tweaksbox installed if you're going the AOSP route now that that's available. Glad you got it figured out!

[Verizon LG G3] augur86:
Wiped VS985 and Lost ROM, Stuck in TWRP

1. Connect phone to computer via USB & mount drive.

2. Copy a ROM's zip file to the storage in a place you will remember. I usually create a "ROMS" folder in the root (highest) level directory to keep things organized.

3. Unmount and disconnect from the PC.

4. In TWRP select Install.

5. Select the ROM zip copied in step 2 to prepare to flash.

6. Swipe the graphic at the bottom to "confirm flash".

7. Wait for this to finish.

8. Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache.

9. Reboot to System.

This isn't mine and I won't take credit, just trying to help out as I've been in your position (and much worse) many times over the years.

I am an OTR truck driver so I really rely on having Bluetooth. Once this issue is resolved I will definitely be using this ROM.

I tried wiping wiping cache, dirty flashing, then rebooting, but I can't get the Wi-Fi to work for the life of me.

I clean flashed a second time and the same thing happened; it initially worked and then stopped functioning after about 30 minutes.

If you're the only one with this issue, you should consider wiping everything and clean flashing again. Wi-Fi does work. And bunchies has put in a lot of work here to be saying things like what you said.

Verizon Liquidsmooth issues

Hello,

First off, thank you for the ROM.

I installed TWRp and followed the directions for installing the ROM found here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-liquidsmooth-v3-2-vs985-11914-t2934897

After Rom installation, My computer will not recognize my phone. I saw this post

"Phone isn't being detected in MTP mode?

Pictures to guide you - http://imgur.com/a/UHKci

Download the Google ADB Drivers http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Extract the zip so you have a "usb_driver" folder

In device manager right-click "LG-VS985" than "update driver software" & do the "Browse my computer for driver software" option

Browse to the "usb_driver" folder you extracted, make sure you have the "usb_driver" folder selected and not the folders inside it than confirm & click next and unplug/re-plugin the phone

"usb_driver" folder can be deleted after drivers have been isntalled correctly

but, when I use the Device Manager, my phone isn't anywhere on the menu. When I pug the phone in with the OEM USB cord, the computer plays the notification sound. USB Debugging is enabled and the menu on the phone shows MTP. If I switch between MTP and photo share, the notification sound plays. I have downloaded the latest LG drivers and nothing. The phone doesn't even charge on the USB to the computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
Under device manager, at the bottom there's a section for USB devices

And when you plugin then phone a new "USB component device" will popup

If you open the property's of the current ones and write down the ports/hubs of them while the phone is unplugged than plug the phone back in you'll be able to tell which one it is

Anyways after you find out which one its on uninstall it than unplug/re-plugin the phone and it should show up as it does in the pictures completely uninstalled and redo all the steps

I'm currently in Linux so I dont have this sitting right in front of me atm, But I covered those steps but haven't written them down in the OP but it look like its needed and I'll do it later tonight

From the main thread (where I can't reply directly yet)

Does this mean that someone like myself who can't live without Xposed shouldn't bother with LiquidSmooth? (until rovo89 comes through for us.)

And now my car charger is charging my phone faster.... I wonder if it's a charger issue... I doubt it though

On stock it took forever to charge my phone when ART was enabled which is weird to me

I guess keep messing around with it and see what happens for now
