[Moto X Q&A] NealJ777:
Any ideas other than doing a FDR?
[Moto X Q&A] NealJ777:
SOLVED (?)

Someone had mentioned that the case on the phone can affect whether or not it goes into dock mode, so I removed the case and then put the case back on and the phone went into dock mode. I noticed that moving the phone around tends to determine whether or not it goes into dock mode. So, if this happens again, I'll just try moving the phone around. :)
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
The phone has magnets in the back of it that it uses to determine if it is in a dock or not, and I believe possibly even what type of dock (car vs desk).

This picture shows where the magnet is located on the back cover:

The OP mentions that this triggers car mode. I appears that a small magnet was used, so depending on the strength of that magnet, it could determine whether the device enters desk or car mode.
[Moto X Q&A] NealJ777:
Actually, I never said anything about "car mode." I am using a Motorola authorized M4DE case for the phone. It has worked fine since I got the phone in 2013. It just stopped within the last few days. I removed the phone from the case and then put it back in the case. I also tried moving the phone around so it was positioned differently. It seems to be working at this time.
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
Right, I was just showing you where the magnet is. So there should also be a magnet on the dock, and if the two aren't lined up closely enough, it won't detect that it is in the dock.

I mentioned car mode because that's what the person in the picture found. If he placed a magnet in that spot, car mode was activated automatically. If a different strength magnet is used (either more or less powerful), it could also activate desk dock mode, which is what you are using.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marialtha:
Hi guys, I'm completely new here but were recommended the place if I want to root my Android device. I'm coming from an iPhone 5 which I unfortunately broke after a jailbreak, but I ended up with this LG G3 (16gb / 2gb ram). Though, I want stock Android 5.0 Lollipop on it, instead of the LG variant with Nova Launcher on top. I have taken backup of everything on my phone but I have no experience at all rooting Android, so will this be near impossible for me without breaking my phone?

Right now I'm reading the FAQ thread and see that I should ask in this forum. I also checked which version G3 I have, and it's a D855 bought in Europe. So I assume it's the D855 - 10A/B/C (Europe) one I got on this list.

I see all of the rooting software is usable with my device, so which one would be recommended for someone who is super new to this?

Reading this thread, I take it I should root, and then flash the pre-rooted Lollipop. What does it mean if it is pre-rooted?

Right now, I must admit, I feel very lost in this brand new world of rooting.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iori_cl:
Hi, I have the same version of you and its not complicated at all.

First you really need to know what are the terms for this, like TWRP and so.

In my case i went back from stock lollipop to kit kat, then root with purpledrake (easy and fast), then i followed this order: super SU -> busybox -> TWRP manager. All this appz are available in the google store and they are easy to use.

Once all this steps are done you can flash a bumped stock rom or go with a custom one, i went for cloudy 2.1 and its by far the best experience i had with my g3.

Good luck.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marialtha:
Will it be the exact same Lollipop version as the one on, let's say, a Nexus 6? With the same icons in the navigation bar at the bottom?

Because I can already get Lollipop on my LG G3 by just updating it. But I want the stock experience that Nexus users also have.

[ONE General] gabryoryn:
A useful function of PrivacyGuard of CyanogenMod is the ability to block applications that awaken our phone or actions that require costly in terms of battery as the location.

In fact it will be curious (and you will see it yourself) such as facebook has awakened a really huge number of times your phone (for me 826 times to be exact)

- For start go on "Settings" and then "Privacy".

-Once entered, click on the 3 dots vertical and then "Advanced".

- Click on applications that do not interest you and put on "denied" to "Keep awake," "Awaken", "Auto Start" position and if you do not need.
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
Just keep in mind that disabling these features has the potential to cause problems on the device, especially if you do it to the wrong apps.

[ONE General] gabryoryn:
For third-party applications (such as facebook, google plus, whatsapps, etc.) and not system app, no ;)

Yes, but altering the permissions for those apps can affect the notifications for those apps.

[ONE General] Impact2K:
Thank you Sir, definitely gonna try that out :D
[ONE General] boris0711:
For an even better experience, use Xposed and the module Xprivacy. Is actually the better version of this function in cm11.

Though I don't think this is exactly the same as Greenify, cause Greenify hibernates apps and I thought the dev said that's not exactly the same, but not sure.
[ONE General] Bigbruise:
I'm curios about that, if there is a difference. Also, there are so many apps that use location that i would of thought otherwise. Clock, gallery and contacts for example. Does anybody adjust this large amount of apps?
[ONE General] Op3a:
I only adjust the ones that I installed from playstore (Facebook, Twitter, etc). But I don't have the option, "Denied", only "Ignore". It's normal?
[ONE General] hAMMERlized:

[ONE General] kalani91:
It seems like lollipop's privacy guard doesn't work for this and Slimsaber KK doesn't have advanced settings for privacy guard either. Do only some roms have this option?

[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
Why do you need it? Are you on kitkat?
[ONE General] mayur.3.92:
No, i find it a pain to set everything after installs.

Like set everything to not start at boot, run in background etc etc.

Imagine toggling everything for 60-100 apps that too after long pressing>Change toggles >Hit back and repeat.
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
No,I meant why do you need privacy guard if you're not on Kitkat?
[ONE General] adobrakic:
Is there a way to set a default permissions profile for newly installed apps? Meaning I want start on boot, run in background, etc. disabled after installation of an app, not the other way around.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftsagkris:
Hi! I recently installed a cm12 nightly on my nexus 5 and now I can't get rid of it ad return back to stock. I tried using nrt and doing it manually but after everything is finished my device doesn't reboot like it's supposed to, it just stays in fastboot mode and when I manually reboot it it boots into cm again and messages pop up saying that system UI has stopped etc so I can't use the device. I tried using force flash mode in nrt and although it did reboot it rebooted in cm again and the same messages pop up.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
Did you restore stock kernel?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftsagkris:
.

I thought the google factory image would do that? Do i have to do it manually and if yes how do i do it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
If you are using WugFreshs NRT you can do this within Advanced Utilities - Fastboot Flash - press Boot (Kernel). Restore stock one and then flash stock image.

You can also try if phone will boot up immediately after you restore kernel. If I remember wright, that is enough.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftsagkris:
I should also note that when I try to manually install the factory image manually it successfully installs the bootloader the radio and all the other imgs except the system img. It fails to install that
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
It hapeness somethime, but just try again. It also hapenned to me. So. First select your device with current version of android you are using. Leave NRT to update all necessary files. Restore stock kernel. Flash stock image that you downloaded.

You should be ok.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftsagkris:
I tried that. When i asked it to download it manually during hashcheck it said mismatched. So I installed it manually and then tried to factory reset with force flash mode off and it said system img was missing. So I enabled force flash and it said it couldn't load system.img. After that it booted in CM again
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
Hashcheck of what file?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftsagkris:
That happened when I pressed boot(kernel) from advanced option. so it was the hashcheck of boot.img when i asked nrt to automatically download it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
Pull boot.img from downloaded factory image and flash it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftsagkris:
Ok. I have already done that. I tried formatting the device and did everything again. I manually installed everything but when I get to system.img I get an error message saying "cannot load system.img"

I also tried re-downloading the factory image from google's site to make sure that I didn't have any corrupted files but the same problem keeps coming up
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
Flash bootloader and radio first. Boot in fastboot. Fastboot flash recovery, boot and system. If this doesn't work I don't know how to help you.

Regards, Zagor
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftsagkris:
I have done that several times now and it just won't flash system.img

Thank you very much for your help though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
After flashing the bootloader/radio, you need to reboot the bootloader.

This is important.

I will put myself in recovery now. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftsagkris:
Thank you. I knew that I have read almost every tutorial I could find online. I just did it on my mac and it worked. I don't know why it would't work on my pc.

Thank you very much for your time though! :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
No problemo. I didn't do anything, but I really hate that things like that, hapeness to people like you.

I just remembered that I have exactly same situation and resolve it that way. That's why I preffered stock from then on.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] WrightClick:
Matshias, you are a legend!

I bought a Yoga 2 10" a couple of weeks ago and the odd blurred and sharpened effect ruins what is otherwise a great little tablet. I'd always suspected it was some kind of odd scaling issue, but I haven't had time or sufficient Android knowledge (or root access on my device) to properly investigate it, beyond making up some test images with alternate 1 pixel wide black/white lines - which were rendering as grey on the Yoga 2.

I had a support ticket raised with Lenovo about the issue, so I've referred them to this post and one on the Lenovo Community forums.

Thanks for your hard work, hopefully Lenovo will implement the fix in a software update soon!

Cheers,

Richard
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jchakrav:
Thank you!

matshias: Thank you.

The blur filter disable makes a HUGE difference. I really appreciate you taking the time to post your results, hopefully Lenovo will take note and implement a permanent fix.

Hi!

I have just started using your app with the latest firmware on a 1050L.

0) Unrooted device

1) installed your app and applied the non-root part of the fix - worked after screen on/off

2) rooted device with temporary cwm solution from this parent thread (- which worked as well)

3) applied the root-required part of the fix from your app - works as well

Thank you for this!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] fanatictentacle:
Great great great! Like the others here I was looking for a solution to this Problem since I bought the tablet.

I am really satisfied with your APP, now everything is way sharper.

BUT: When I test the screens resolution with a screen test APP, only the horizontal ( long sides) resolution seems to be right now. The vertical resolution (short sides) is still just grey, when testing single pixel lines.

Do you have the same Problem, what could cause this?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] matshias:
I see the same if the sharpness filter/CABC is still switched on. If you have root then try disabling the sharpness filter as well and then the screen test look fine. Obviously the sharpness filter in the panel is not uniform in all directions and seems to prefer horizontal resolution (in landscape mode).
[Thinkpad Tablet General] fanatictentacle:
Thanks again for the advice!

I just had to enable root, really cant look at that horrid screen anymore! But now it really looks as sharp as an 240ppi Display should look like!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Yosef:
problem

After installing the app I have problems.

In 10 minutes my tablet rebooted 3 times . Android not asked to reboot.

It was crash of sistem. My system is rooted.

After uninstalling I had no problems.

Regurds
[Thinkpad Tablet General] matshias:
Did you use the start on boot feature? This might cause it. I uploaded new version 1.1.2 which should fix that problem. Let me know if it works for you.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] digitalatlas:
this is a fantastic fix, one that Lenovo should have implemented themselves

actually when i just got the tablet over christmas, it was running older firmware in which the blur filter was actually not enabled. yes i now realize the text was "over sharp" but it was clear, and what i expected for the price (i.e. not double the price for a galaxy tab S) but i was fine with the sharpness, it looked good, and the tablet otherwise suits my needs perfectly, and gotta love that built in stand. i didn't even know what people meant about the image quality, considering the mid-range target audience of the tablet.

anyway, i recently got the OTA firmware update to the current S000143_150105 and that's when it messed everything up. it enabled the blur filter, and it looked HORRIBLE. i tried to accept it because at 1 ft from the tablet, the text actually looked all right, perhaps even a slight improvement because it was slightly softer. but the blur filter is applied to EVERYTHING, so all the images and everything on the screen was blurred....it was like looking at an HD monitor with a state of the art GeForce video card but using the standard windows video drivers...everything stretched and totally blurry.

this is a great fix, i don't have my tablet rooted and don't want to take the potential battery hit to disable the sharpening filter (since i think it looks good just with the blur filter disabled). it might be in my head though, but i feel like the system is a little more sluggish...maybe due to the update, maybe because of this (great) app...i wish lenovo would fix this, seems easy enough. sours me to an otherwise great tablet for the price.

speaking of battery, i noticed in the last day after installing the fix that my tablet powered off sometime during the day, and when i restarted, the battery had drained about 30%. and it continued to drain faster than before. i previously got well over 10 hours of usage time playing movies and web browsing, in addition to up to several days of standby....today i had to charge it within 24 hours and only got about 7 hours use time and 13 hours standby...any chance it's related to the fix, or has anyone experienced it after the firmware update?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] matshias:
[MENTION=6446065]digitalatlas[/MENTION]: Thanks for testing the app.

Regarding your observations, I don't think sluggishness can be attributed to the app. After all it doesn't do much. Only when the screen is switched on or you manually start the app it changes the kernel setting. So it really shouldn't have any impact on performance.

The battery life should also not be affected by the app itself. It does not have any background tasks other than the kernel setting mentioned above and it shouldn't wake up the device as well. Although I saw occasionally that my app gets informed that the screen was switched on even though the screen was not switched on. That caused some reboot issues. But that was fixed with version 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 and I didn't see a reboot since I use 1.1.2. Also there are reports of hangs/reboots by other users unrelated to my app. Anyways it might be the case that changing the kernel setting has some other effect on the hardware, kernel and battery life. According to Intel documentation the filter is not meant to be switched on or off while the display is active. However, it is the only time it is possible to change it in our system. So to be sure we have to test and disable/uninstall the app and see if the battery life improves.

Hopefully Lenovo fixes this with an upcoming update!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Falv:
Thanks!

Just got this tablet in the mail today and was disappointed by its display. So grateful for your fix, its like night and day with the blur gone. Guess I have a good reason to root now to get rid of the sharpness too. Mind me asking what method you used to root for this firmware?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] matshias:
I used the temporary CWM method [GUIDE] CWM & Root Lenovo Yoga 2 (8/10/13)

It is easy enough and works fine, but keep in mind that there might be issues with OTAs.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] digitalatlas:
I'll keep track of the battery over the next little while, hopefully it was just an aberration that first charge. I'm getting better results with this second charge since the update and your fix.

Could you or someone post a picture shoeing the effect of turning the sharpening filter off? Might help some of us decide it rooting is in fact worthwhile. Thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] matshias:
I tried taking pictures but it doesn't really show the effect. Instead I made two screenshots and recreated the filter with GIMP. It should be very close to what the panel does.
