Minfree issues?

Hi,

Since my posts count is very very low I'll ask my question here. Please move it where necessary.

I'm having serious issues with this phone. when I change minfree values (followed Tomo123 performance thread + google). Even Aggressive mode will display symptoms. Phone goes haywire under any memory pressure. (using Chrome, Firefox...)

Symptoms are:

hardlocks with blackscreen

wallpaper with nothing on will stay on screen for 5-10 mins

many ANRs - like system_server, SystemUI, Email, Calendar etc. (had to enable show ANRs for background apps in developer tools)

top shows kswapd0 and mmcblk0 around 15-25% CPU usage

top shows 350 - 500 IOW-s

CoolTool also displays heavy IO utilization when blackscreen is displayed

/data/anr is full of trace.txt files, but since i'm not a dev and can't make something meaningfull out of them

When this happens, I can either wait for SystemUI restart, or pull the battery out.

Closest thing I manage to find is thread for Nexus 5: (can't post links properly :()

productforums [dot] google [dot] com/forum/#!topic/nexus/IqHl-dF8CjM[/url]

I did freeze almost all downloaded apps with TitaniumBackup but nothing changed.

This was tested on v10e and v10h, rooted with KingRoot and replaced Kingroot with SuperSu.

Ofcourse, if I leave everything on stock values, phone will work but multitasking is non-existant, and apps will usually do a complete reload when switching between them.

Is it posible that this phone is this bad or these are symptoms of buggy Android 5.0.1? I've seen chineese phones with similar hardware perfom better...
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
You either have a hardware issue, or a corrupt system / data partition.

With a bit of tweaking from my post, this phone flies and is a pleasure to use.

I am still using v10e firmware and never had issues like the ones you mentioned.

Reflash the firmware fully ( CSE FLASH ) with LG Flash Tool. CSE Flash does not leave any previous crap on the phone. Install Kingroot and root it. Do not replace Kingroot, since Wolfdroid's script does not work properly on latest Kingroot versions. Chinese modded Kingroot in a way that the script does a piss poor job in finding and replacing all the files Kingroot screws up.

We REALLY REALLY REALLY need a clean stock firmware with SuperSU integrated.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
If you need it, I should have an apk of an older version of kingroot that is still replaceable.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] FalconRider:
I am also suffering from this. It usually happens when a call comes in or I am playing music through google play and I open maps or use chrome. I am running V10d.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
There has been a LOT of firmware revisions past v10d. How about updating?

I hace a question about Cardboard and LG Spirit H440N

Hello.

I just want to ask if I could use some cardboard Glasses with this phone, because I think It have not Giroscope.

Thank you very much.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] FalconRider:
I wish they arrived. Updates are slow in South Africa cause our networks suck. I would have to flash an international version and then lose all the apps etc that I have installed. d is currently the latest update for me.

PS: We are all still running 5.0.1 right?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
Yes, as far as I know.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
Install Titanium Backup, backup all of your apps & their data, flash new firmware and restore everything from Titanium Backup.

It takes only 15 minutes, and you have your phone the same as before flashing.

GPS problem

Hi guys is there anyone who had a problem with gps in H440n? I was trying to connect with gps through Ingress game, but I cant. I checked in a few programs like AndroidTS GPS Test, GPS Test and GPS Status and it show that my phone can`t find gps signal, it is stopping on searching it. I tried to reconfigurate gps, hardreset, and pgs fix program but it didn`t helped. Is there anything that I can do before carrying my phone to service? Help! You are my only hope guys. :crying:

@ midzan21 - reply to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61364684&postcount=60, but I don't have enough posts to post there...

I did try commands you mention, and my output like yours.

downloading 'boot.img'...

I also tried commands like fastboot reboot, fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot continue but I always get FAILED (remote: unknown command)

Phone is flashed 10e, had root on 10a, but non-rootable (via LG onclick root) after upgrading.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] temintyd:
I had my phone repaired because of the bad GPS (it worked, but not accurate at all, even in clear sky).

Now it's working better: fix takes about 30sec and accuracy is about 10 meters.

I still have a feeling that GPS is not the best compared to my previous Sony Xperia phone (almost instant fix and max accuracy)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
I apresciate your work, but even I had some time to test it out on v10e from Switzerland (v10b in About Phone) and also had that problem... Screw you LG, you lock our fastboot and bootloader... Maybe there is some way to see what can be done with this device.

For rooting use KingRoot and switch from their SuperUser app to SuperSu ... Links are in 1st post of general thread (not Q&A)

Hi guys

I would be very thankful if you could help me with a problem.

It seems I am not the only one with this problem, in general, but most others managed to fix it using certain methods which haven't worked for me. It is the picture quality of all Instagram pictures and videos. They were so good and suddenly they went bad.

I couldn't find anything on it on most forums which could help me. So I decided to come to the experts :)

I have fiddled around with settings such as high quality image processing and how much cellular data is used etc. No difference though.

Please can someone help me.. The pictures are such awful quality!

Thanks in advance

Can somebody help me?

I'm going to buy this phone next month, and maybe somebody could take screenshot using Nova launcher? It's very important for me becouse I saw how it looks on L Fino with kitkat, and it looked for me awful. I mean who likes gradient tint?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] polfrank:
Here you are. This is nova launcher on H440n.

However, you should focus on other things on this device, like the lack of auto-brightness or the lack of notification led!

[And the lack of unlocked bootloader!!!! Hah! ]

Hallo. I just rooted my LG Spirit h440n. But answer this question to me - why I have to replace KingRoot with SuperSU?

Thanks!
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] polfrank:
You don't have to, but most people want SuperSU because it's more commonly used and reliable.

Thank you! If anyone istalls it it would be nice if they could tell us if they find something important changed.

Stop crossposting, for one. And two, there is no OTG on 4G LTE version. You could've checked that easily by Googling it or using search on the forum. It's already been discussed.

Regarding custom roms, couldnt we just make for example a CM port but with stock kernel or aboot or whatever partition. I heard about devices running CM with locked bootloaders. If they can do it, why can't we?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Rayman1113:
The question is, would that go through that irritating certificate check... We still don't know how that works... Even if it does something dumb, like checking an OS or some folder hash, were screwed... I'd wait and see if the rumours about 6.0 in march are true. Maybe an exploit will emerge... :(

---------- Post added at 16:14 ---------- Previous post was at 16:05 ----------

Well, the App won't work. I've tried. The phone has no gyroscope and relies solely on an accelerometer. On the other hand, it is the perfect size for Cardboard V1 AND Its DPI makes it passable for YouTube videos! I've watched some Oculus videos and LG demos. It's quite impressive for a mid range phone!

Tl-DR:

AR and VR - No.

Portable 3D Cinema - Yes

:)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] ivanlaki:
Someone probably asked that already, but i'll ask again.

I read that CF.lumen could cause bootloop.

Should i be considering some other app like Twilight that doesnt ask for root permission or is CF.lumen a safe solution for our phone? Thanks for answer
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Just use lowered brightness (0-25%) is fine for early morning and late night (with Night brightness enabled)... No need for that kind of apps...
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] ivanlaki:
Actually with "night brightness" and 0% my eyes are still painfull, thank you for you advice but its not the right solution for me, if it is, i wouldnt be asking this questio
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
I have no problems with lumen and [MENTION=7064381]jonathansmith[/MENTION] uses it too.

[MENTION=4203213]midzan21[/MENTION] not really, IMO. Eyes are really less tired (is this the right word?) with that app.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
For both of you [MENTION=6632102]guglicap[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7061627]ivanlaki[/MENTION] - I tried to use that Cf. lumen app, but it is way more tired after using that app (tried it before 2 weeks, and after 1.5 day I needed to remove it, eyes were more tired then with low brightness IMO)... That is maybe because I'm used to screens right now (as on college most of time we work with some kind of screen like LCD's and projectors) and at home... Now only thing that annoyes me is high brightness when can't see anything in direct sunlight (or when somebody get 100% brightness on few LCD monitors at college...)

Unable to root latest firmware with KingRoot.... Any solution?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Use KingRoot 4.6.1, it worked for me tonight when I did clean install of v10i (not upgrade from v10h, direct CSE Flash using FlashTool)... Maybe it don't work with v10k which are mostly branded (IDK, don't wanna use bloated firmware anymore)

Hello buddies...

Any Ideas hot to SIM/Network unlock the LG Spirit? I have a H420F model.

I did buy unlock code from 3 different sellers on ebay. They refunded my money back 'cause they were not able to find the code.

Any alternative.

Thanks a lot for your help.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
If you bought it for operator (service provider), then they would provide you free unlock...

And please check what says at SIM Unlock menu which can be found at

Call: 2945#*420# and see Network and SIM status... For me it is locked (H440N T-Mobile Croatia, would unlock it from their shop for free)

Also for others to check status call

2945#*MODEL_NO#

Replace MODEL_NO with 440, 420, 422 etc... Just 3 digits you need.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] ruizramosjose:
Thanks.

I've already checked and my phone is locked. So it needs to be unlocked for using another network SIM.

I can't ask for the unlock code from the original network, because I'm not the original buyer. So it's not possible.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Wel then, I'm sorry but you would need to contact seller of phone so maybe he can get network unlock via srevice provider from he bought phone...
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
I'm not sure if the serivce menu shows correct info, for one it shows my phone as network and SIM locked, but it definitely isn't and couldn't be, since I didn't buy it through a carrier.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
You tired a sim from another carrier? If it's locked, it's locked.

There are a lot of "unlock by code" solutions available online, from 8 to 10 euros.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] polfrank:
Is there any free way to unlock? Mine is locked to TIM Italy but it works with other carriers in Greece, so I'm not crazy about unlocking. But a free way of doing it would be nice.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] ruizramosjose:
I know there is a lot of solutions for "Unlock codes" in fact I bougth from 3 different sellers for around $4. I've done this before for others phone and never had problemas alwas worked out.

But with this specific phone the 3 differents told me that the "unlock code" for my imei was not found on database. So it's not possible to unlock it in this way. I was hoping find here another solution. But I think It will be necessary to get the code using a box.

Thanks

I bought this phone, but before I spend some money on an SD card

can you guys tell by experience what type of SD card it supports?

I will like to buy a fast card

can I use a Micro

SDHC

UHS-I U3 (Speed Class 3)

or a Micro

SDXC

UHS-I U3 (Speed Class 3)

[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
SDHC is guaranteed, SDXC - maybe up until 64 GB.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] SeaZz:
I don't know if the phone supports UHS-I U3 speeds.(The phone should operate fine with a UHS-I U3 card but i don't know if it will reach that speed). SDHC or SDXC doesn't matter find the one that suites your requirements. I have a normal SDHC card in my phone SanDisk Ultra 16GB UHS-I which i bought 3 years ago works perfectly.I got 15-16 mb/s write and double read speed. I recommend you to buy a SanDisk card they are reliable and fast ( i have a 4gb ,an 8gb and a 16 gb card none of them died) If you are going to buy any U3 card just tell us the write and read speed on the phone.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know where its cheapest to buy a replacement digitiser for this phone? H440 to be a bit more specific :p

http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=lg+h440+digitizer

It's around 25 to 28 $ with free shipping.

And I've solved the issue of phone vibrating itself into oblivion by using one of these glass table rubber bumpers on the back of it ( they are self sticking ):

[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
Coverage issues are to blame, 99 percent of the time. Also check that your APN settings are properly selected under Access points.

Settings / Tethering & networks / Mobile networks / Network mode and set GSM only and try that.

Wi-Fi problem

I have LG Spirit 4G LTE (H440N). Everything was fine, until yesterday after getting home my phone could not connect to my wi-fi. When i go see avaiable networks, the phone is searching and it's not finding any network. I tried to use third-party connector, factory resset, hard resset and even to flash stock rom and neither of this did not worked out. I do not assume that this is hardware problem, so whoud you suggest me in some way to clone my brother's exact H440N and fix this "configuration" error.
