My only thought would be to factory reset and see if the problem goes away. I have been running the ROM for a few months without issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2] dincdoes.me:
Running on my old Sprint G2 ls980 i gave to my dad a while back. Found a thread with the bootstack to pretty much make it work for our device which is awesome!! He uses net10 on his Sprint LG G2 no issues so far. 8mbs down 1.6up not bad for my current area :) thank you for the cool new rom seems much more stable than cloudy i couldnt even get that working..
[T-Mobile LG G2] Telperion:
Anybody else having issues with Android killing processes way too aggressively? I can barely drive for 15 minutes with both Google music and Waze running because one or both get killed.

I'm not sure if it's this ROM or LP.
[T-Mobile LG G2] samuel3mn2:
do bootstack include bootloader?? for flash cloudy g3 we need kk bootloader :( wan't to know
[T-Mobile LG G2] MicroMod777:
Bootstack is for Lollipop and is for the D801. You need to find a bootstack or bootloader for KK which I don't have.
[T-Mobile LG G2] samuel3mn2:
I have d801 but i don't find a kk bootloader for flash cloudy g2 3.3
[T-Mobile LG G2] MicroMod777:
Cloudy 3.3 is LP. His rom's flash the bootloader you need. Just do a backup and flash his.
[T-Mobile LG G2] samuel3mn2:
ok thanks so if i wan't to back to a stock rom KK i have to flash your bootstack?
[T-Mobile LG G2] MicroMod777:
No, my rom is not kk, but is lollipop. If your on kitkat, you need the kitkat bootstack which I don't have.
[T-Mobile LG G2] voxluna:
This is probably what I should've used when I blew up my KitKat. I love the LG stock ROM and it's the first one I've ever used where I didn't replace it with CM or something, but there are still a few things I want to nuke.

Just curious, what does the 38dpi navbar do?
[T-Mobile LG G2] UnknownCloakedMan:
Can somebody please, please tell me why I can't change boot animations on this rom? I threw in a bunch and none will play.
[T-Mobile LG G2] voxluna:
Make sure the aniamtions stay in their ZIP files as bootanimation.zip and shutdownanimation.zip. Those two files belong in /system/media. If there is ZIP with sounds in it, those should be extracted so that PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg can be put in /system/media/audio/ui. FWIW some AOSP-type ROMs, including CyanogenMod, only show the opening animation, and do not play sounds.

Also, check that file permissions are correct. They should all be 644, which looks like this in a shell, file manager, or whatever:

root@d801:/system/media # ls -l

ls -l

-rw-r--r-- root root 605173 2015-09-22 12:56 LMprec_508.emd

-rw-r--r-- root root 637001 2015-09-22 12:56 PFFprec_600.emd

drwxr-xr-x root root 2015-09-22 12:56 audio

-rw-r--r-- root root 6798085 2015-09-22 12:56 bootanimation-old.zip

-rw-r--r-- root root 3666966 2015-10-04 22:28 bootanimation.zip

-rw-r--r-- root root 920944 2015-10-04 22:28 shutdownanimation.zip

Lastly, if you have a Samsung device, they use a proprietary method that you will need to accommodate.

Does anyone know if it's safe to remove the T-mobile software like "Mobile hotspot", "T-mobile My account" and "T-mobile voicemail"? I am sending this phone to another country where there is no T-mobile.

And if it is possible, how to remove them safely?

Does anyone know if it's safe to remove the T-mobile software like "Mobile hotspot", "T-mobile My account" and "T-mobile voicemail"? I am sending this phone to another country where there is no T-mobile.

And if it is possible, how to remove them safely?
[T-Mobile LG G2] voxluna:
All three should be safe to remove. None are necessary for the "base" install of Android, all of them being add-ons by the carrier:

1) T-Mobile Hotspot, if it's running on a stock ROM, should check with TMo servers to see if you have paid for the hotspot option. Hence it won't work (even if you use it from the Settings menu, BTW). There are some workarounds for hotspots, like FoxFi.

2) T-Mobile My Account would not only be useless, but detrimental... it runs in the background, doing so-called "diagnostics", and trying to regain root over and over. Ugh.

3) T-Mobile Voicemail should be "Visual Voicemail", which is a subscription service and would obviously not be available. You can access voicemail a number of other ways, such as the speed dial "1" key, dialing your own phone number, etc. But you would need to have voicemail from the ultimate carrier in the first place..​

The best way to remove apps is with Titanium Backup. Start it, go into the "Backup/Restore" tab, then choose the appropriate app you want to uninstall by pressing its name. Then press "UN-INSTALL!" at the top right, and you're all set. Note that when you do this with anything else, you should generally have made a backup of it beforehand, and because I don't know absolutes about your setup there, you might want to do it in this case, too. You can always delete them later when you find they aren't needed.

If you don't have root, or for some reason didn't want to use TiBkp, you can also hide it in the launcher. Just remember, that won't stop the app from running in the background like e.g. My Account does. Hiding will depend on what launcher you have -- just Google "hide app in stock Lollipop launcher" (or Nova, or Google Now, etc). There are apps in the Play Store that can do the same thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2] thenetvines:
Oh wow, thanks for the info :) I do appreciate the help.

You sure take me back... I used to use Titanium Backup on my very old LG Esteem, and LG Motion 4G (my very first love) circa 2001, lol. Maybe I can just use the "freeze" option, because I'm too lazy to search for how to manually remove them with a root browser from the system folders or whatever. I remember being a little dangerous to remove LG system apps, because some of them would be needed for other things to work back in those days. But man, it was fun to thinker with those cheap phones, and brick them lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2] voxluna:
After thinking about it, I should have given another choice in that list of instructions. I would deal with unwanted apps in this order of preference: remove app with TiBkp, disable app in Settings, or hide app in launcher. Because hiding still lets them run in the background, AFAIK. I forgot all about Disable because when I come across something unwanted, I back it up and then nuke it. :)

The only problem here is that some built-in apps can't be disabled. The way you can find out is by going to Settings > Apps > All . The "Disable" button will be shown at the top right (sometimes this will first say "Uninstall updates", which you have to do beforehand). Choosing this will keep the app on the phone, but prevent it from running. If that button is greyed out, though, you're out of luck, and all you can do is to hide the app in the launcher.

The LG-written apps are pretty closely integrated with the ROM itself, and if you migrate them with TiBkp to another ROM -- even something as simple as Tasks (to-do list) -- they won't work. In any case, I'm pretty confident your three T-Mobile apps are safe to remove, but if you want to be on the safe side or don't have root, just disable them (or hide if you can't).
[T-Mobile LG G2] UnknownCloakedMan:
Yes it is completely safe to remove those, I have and haven't had problems over the last year or so. There's rumors that the T-Mobile MyAccount app will actually report back to T-Mobile if your phone is rooted so they know not to honor your warranty you may have paid for. You should never have that app on your phone if you've chosen to root.

Personally, I use Titanium Backup (sign up on the mobilism forum and you can download the patched/free version) to uninstall apps I know are safe to remove and I freeze apps I'm not sure are needed or not. If you use Titanium Backup alot, I do recommend buying it. Support the creators.

On another note, did anybody else get a T-Mobile security update today (Monday Oct. 19)? Not sure what they changed but I did the update to see how it would turn out. Everything seems fine and android version still shows 5.0.2...

[T-Mobile LG G2] voxluna:
It would be disturbing if that's the case. I do know for certain that it asks for root. Why it needs that, I don't know -- maybe it already has root when it comes with a stock ROM, but that's just speculation. In any case, the thing throws out notifications even when you "disable" them, and on top of everything else, it seems to respawn after a Force Stop, despite not showing up as a self-restarter. It is marginally useful for viewing some account data, but overall, good riddance.

Absolutely. I bought TiBkp so long ago that my license is email based, not through the Play Store. And besides that, it unlocks some important features, too. I'm not sure that many people stop to think about how much work goes into this stuff, really.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messatsu:
Hi, with Cm12s, when I take m'y phone in my hands, my phone automatically unlocks and I can see the notifications, in order to save my battery, I would like to disable it, is there a way? Thanks!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtacular:
Settings / Display & lights and disable "Ambient display".
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messatsu:
Thank you, but when I disable this option I don't have any wake-up notifaction even if I don't touch the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nitramus:
I use my n5 as my mp3 player in my car but the sound sucks. I'm thinking of getting a dac to fix this.

I have a otg cable to plug in my usb key that contains my mp3 library. So first I know i will need a y otg, have some all ready but not sur I have the right one but that is a detail. I dont really care about simultaneously charging my phone.

So what good dac do you suggest. Keep in mind I don't have a lot of money, not to sure what kind of budget yet.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nitramus:
Please
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Axel85:
Are you sure you have not a faulty cable/ nexus 5 connector or bad regulated equalizer on nexus 5?

I ask you cause I m not an audiophile but nexus 5 sound great to my ears, almost like nexus s which feature one of the best DAC on portable devices
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gyoung:
Try dragonfly by Audioquest or Cambridge Audio USB DAC. They sound awesome. I prefer the latter one. =)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nitramus:
Thanks for the reply. Everything I get gives me more info to search and get informed.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Are you aware of any such ROMs?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mborzill:
Well, some clarification is necessary... even stock kitkat should *play* a 24/96FLAC, but "Natively" isn't the correct terminology. If that were true 24/96 on the N5, this thread wouldn't exist. The Nexus 5 downsamples significantly, but the better the source, the better the sample. Quality will be great coming from a lossless 24bit/96khz source, but its not gonna be true 24/96 if its coming from the Nexus 5's internal DAC. It'll be downsampled to its hardware and software limitations. I know with kitkat this was 16bit/48khz, but I can't speak to whether or not this ceiling *actually* increased with Lollipop. In theory, the N5's Qualcomm Wolfson wcd9320 DAC supported up to 192khz, and Lollipop bumped support up to 96khz, but if I recall, it's the Snapdragon 800 that isn't capable of 24/96. Without a DAC, and downsampled to 16bit/48khz, you might get an imperceptibly lower noise floor, but other than I doubt you'd hear a difference between lossless sources.

Personally I think it's total overkill to use up that kind of space without having a DAC capable of reproducing it (or freakin golden ears) but if you're going for the most accurate reference track you can find for problem-tracing, have at it. Even Downsampled, that FLAC will sound much better than an encoded mp3.

If there's a ROM with true "native" 24/96khz reproduction on the N5 I certainly don't know about it... Or need it.

As to specific ROMs and compatibility: Cyanogenmod is my go-to. I prefer Viper4Android over AudioFX, but with major tweaking (specific to my headphones). Out of the box, AudioFX is great.

Lollipop, in general, has vastly improved audio performance. Raised sampling resolution from 16 bit PCM to 24bit and sampling rate from 44/48khz to support 96khz (if the phones hardware can support it, else USB DAC). Lower i/o latency gives the closest thing android has seen to real-time audio since the start (which has been a major issue for musicians,DJ, game developers, even VoIP). Floating point sampling is new too, which, in theory, reduces clipping, improves headroom and dynamic range.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bldmovs:
Do I need to use a custom ROM with an external DAC like the Fiio E18 or other DAC's? Could I simply purchase any external DAC? If not what do I need to look for when shopping for external DAC's that work with the Nexus 5?

My Nexus 5 is stock currently on 5.1.

Thank you for any advice.

Hey all. I have noticed now on 5.0 my data items like Hangouts and Gmail I have to refresh once in the apps to get new items anyone else have this issue?

Do you have sync turned on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GeneticJim:
I do. It seems to be a bit better because i am using the built in email app for all my gmail accounts

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bantzt:
I suggest trying to go into recovery and clearing out the cache.

Pull the battery

Hold volume up + home + power till u get the boot screen with blue letters in the top left

Use volume down to scroll down to clear cache

Press power to select

Press lower when done to reboot.

If this doesn't work might I suggest try logging out of your email/Gmail and logging back in.

If that don't work update PRL and profile.

After that might have to do a factory reset.

(if u have twrp then wipe the cache and dalvik like your used to)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GeneticJim:
I forgot to update the thread but I cleared the cache and it seems to be working perfectly. Thanks for the assistance!
[Galaxy S6 General] GreeleyXda:
each time i find a new thread/problem theres usually somebody whos talked to samsung and been told itll be fix in a update. thats gotta be a ton of update just to get a working phone.

so far i have read

always on flash

radio/antanna on verizon models getting no/bad lte signal with dropped calls

screen rotation not working

screen problems

phones getting too hot

and im sure i missed some

while one big update would be nicer that would prbly take forever to release
[Galaxy S6 General] Jrhoop:
I havent got any of these issues. (International SGS6)

Usually people that aren't happy with something complain/make noise and those that are happy don't create a load of threads ergo it looks like people are unsatisfied with their SGS6 whereas its probably the complete opposite.

[Galaxy S6 General] barondebxl:
You're the first person I hear that complaints about updates. Just don't get the phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] GreeleyXda:
im not complaining about updates, more so that the phone needs so many to function properly

you can see yourself on xda that the verizon model is having signal problems (drops to 3g in areas where theres strong 4g signal) and that it requires on update to fix that.

my s6 arrives monday so ill double check.

ive played with a display model and the phone is great its just the software problems
[Galaxy S6 General] PrOpANe84:
Got the t-mobile S6 and my phone is not having any of these problems, i freakin' LOVE this phone!

I did have a battery drain problem, after rooting it would not go into deep sleep mode. Simply rebooted to stock recovery, wiped cache, problem solved!

I've been an extremely heavy user since getting this phone and have had my screen on emailing/playing games/reddit browsing/texting/etc for 6+ hours a day. Since wiping cache, my battery holds like a champ. When the screen is off, it uses close to zero battery...maybe .5% per hour. Usually end up going to bed with around 20% battery left.

Could not be happier.
[Galaxy S6 General] barondebxl:
Well if you look at IOS, it also gets a lot of update to either fix things or improve things. The iPhone 6 came out with IOS 8 but there I already 8.4 in the works I the works, that just how it goes. I dont mind updates at all, even 3 a day if it is to improve the device. Better that than no updates.

I understand your point though, you think Samsung should have thoroughly tested the S6 before release but for example, things like carrier bloatware and cell reception is out of Samsung hands.
[Galaxy S6 General] GreeleyXda:
its not a tower or antena issure, is a software issue that samsung says its aware of. people who alrdy have a verizon s6 are dropping calls and just in general having worst reception than a S4 did.

what carrier gets 3 updates a day?

im on verizon where they have a record of giving their updates later than other carriers.

i dont mind good updates, its just from the time it takes for you to receive a update fix you have to be with a phone that has problems
[Galaxy S6 General] barondebxl:
You're talking about the Verizon one as if its the only version of the galaxy s6, I'm talking about all versions in general. None are getting 3 a day to my knowledge, but that was an example that even if it's 3 a day to improve the phone then I wouldn't mind.
[Galaxy S6 General] nateohio:
Being early adopters we have to accept that there will be issues with any launch. Many of these problems don't present themselves until they are in the hands of the masses. Things like battery drain from cell standby or WiFi and poor signal maintenance are definitely YMMV type of situations as we've seen here in the forums. If the testers don't use WiFi and live in strong signal areas then they may not experience any of those problems

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

There is also certain amount of fault on the carriers be cause they go through and modify/gut the original software.
[Galaxy S6 General] demonwind:
Who cares about software problems can be fixed with an update.

Real issue here is hardware defects like pink tint and scratched screens that cannot be fixed and only choice is to return phone and pay restocking fee.
[Galaxy S6 General] LexusNoodles:
true but I guess at least someone could return it for a fix while software will be bugged until a fix comes out which no one knows how long that will take. Even with the issues I freaking love this phone!
[Galaxy S6 General] GreeleyXda:
why do u have to pay a restocking fee? you got a defective phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] mackubex:
I got the international model and no problem. I love this phone
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Just checked about the flash thing. It's not really a problem on mine. I checked, there was nothing. I then turned the flash on and off and I could see it light (hard to see through) a few minutes until it goes completely black again.
[Galaxy S6 General] tenxo:
Then yours does not seem to have the problem. One of mine is like you said, but my other is lit always regardless if flash was used.

[Galaxy S6 General] GreeleyXda:
does the amount of ppl with the problem affect how long it takes samsung to send the update fix?

when i had the rose gold note 3 my carrier would only exchange my defective phone for the same color and the rose gold ones were out of stock in any verizon with an hour drive
[Galaxy S6 General] mister marc:
Overall im pretty mixed on this phone, i have the flash issue, doesnt really bother me that much, i dont think it can be draining battery that much and its only visible in pitch black condotions, but its deff always on. This thing has crazy good battery life, i watched a full 3 hr baseball game yesterday on xbmc and still had 30% left, coming from an iphone 5s, i would have completely drained it in an hr. Most issues i have are ios vs android things, which theres plenty of positives negatives for each, some are just apps running better on one or the other, and the update issue is always going to be worse on android just something we have to deal with, by the time i usually get my android phones about running perfect its time to get a new phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Yellow_Hornet:
It was inevitable that I came here. Destiny. After spending what seems to be half of my life rooting around the internet (lurking here was at least half of it) trying to learn how to root and unlock my other phones I have been led here to ask for help. So thanks in advance.

OK, I came close to bricking phones but so far I haven't. Today I decided I need help because, let's face it, rooting around these 3,000+ post threads to figure the right way is pretty daunting!

This phone is unmodified and I am not worrying about ROMs at this point. I just need to root it to get it to the halfway point. Can I use SafeRoot or Kingo to do this? The reason I'm not sure of what to do is this has 4.1.2 and it seems most people are concerned about rolling it back rather than forward. Plus, from what I can see, it seems 4.3 something is where a lot of these tools want you to be before moving ahead.

Can you advise me of the path of least resistance on this thing that will still allow me to unlock it when the time comes? Please forgive the typos and Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
No harm in trying those root methods to see if they work. As far as unlocking I'm not sure if the VZW method will work for the straight talk version
