Hey everyone! I am having an issue in Poweramp where I try to delete a file and is says I have to grant permission which I do. Then after granting permission I try to delete the file and it brings up the same permissions access screen as if I never granted permission! I've emailed the developer but he just said to name my sd card. How do I fix this issue?

I've also had problems with other apps not even giving me the option.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
External SD cards aren't mounted as RW on my phone, either. Until we get root you're going to have to do what I do and rely on a computer.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apkbuccsfan:
I have given permission on other apps and it worked fine. Has anyone experienced this issue in Poweramp?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
I don't use poweramp, but I have had this issue on other apps. Some like ES FILE explorer work fine. I read that the app has to be programmed properly for lollipop SD card access for it to work. My guess is the apps that don't work right never were programmed to do this.

XtremeGuard offers great deals on glass and ghost armor type screen protectors. Usually the deals range from 70 to 80% off. The bad thing? Quality of the product is concerning.

I've been buying from them for a while now. I ordered a full set for my G4 so it would arrive before I got the phone. I ordered the full body protection and a glass screen protector. They came in the mail after a week or two. First thing I noticed was I was sent 4 screen protectors and no back protector. I didn't understand why they would send four screen protectors until i tried to put them on. The protector is about a quarter inch too long for the screen. It hangs off the bottom of the phone. The glass protector also doesnt fit. It fits about half inch into the screen so there's a large gap all the way around.

I contacted Customer service who was quick to send out replacements... Of the same product. So two weeks later I receive the same protectors with the same problems.

tl;dr

Screen protectors don't fit and Customer service doesn't care. You get what you pay for.
[G4 Accessories] CattleRancher:
I have the glass screen protector from them... Fits fine.

The protector shouldn't be edge to edge, if it is, you can't use a case.

However, i did order 2, and I'm glad i did. The edges had some tear out issues. Very minor, but i like a completely bubble free fit.

I've been using These guys since my original optimus g. The two times I've had even the smallest issue they've been very fast about sending me replacements; including this time.
[G4 Accessories] 06stang:
The protectors I had for my g2 and g3 were nearly edge to edge. This one fit up to the top speaker and to the bottom of the LG logo on the bottom. I have a case for the phone and it's still a gap between the case and the glass screen protector.
[G4 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Had three. For the G3, SGS4 and Nexus 7 (bought in one order).

All three abysmal. Refund for all. Never again.
[G4 Accessories] shook187:
I had them on several flagship phones. I never had an issue with them.
[G4 Accessories] MissyLove:
I had IQShield screen protectors for the LG G4 and it works fine.
[G4 Accessories] bigmatt503:
I've had mixed results with the screen protectors they sell, I Only order from them when I have a 80-90% off promo code. Their customer service is usually top notch and the screen protectors are a great buy at 90% off ( full price is 49 bucks for a tempered glass one).
[G4 Accessories] Rxio1201:
Xtremeguard Protectors LG G4

I ordered the normal screen protectors which seem to fit pretty well. I also ordered the "Spartan" tempered glass protector which did not seem to fit correctly as the shape didn't seem to fit well with the G4 while also having redundant cutouts, say for Flash and/camera on the top edge. In addition to that, it blocks the earphone speaker. Overall I think I was sent the wrong glass screen protector... Sent customer service a message so we'll see how that goes.
[G4 Accessories] mandoman28:
I ordered from this site, I was not too impressed with the quality of the items I received. Luckily it was all purchased during their Black Friday sale and everything was real cheap. Did not spend too much money!
[G4 Accessories] jfriend33:
I enjoy them when they are 92% off. I find their tempered glass to be pretty sufficient. Now their wet install type, front and back, used on my droid maxx. Made a few cases fit too tightly. But it was self healing.

Their hd dry install ones are hit or miss....they can interfere with cases. So if u are going to use the phone with an otterbox defender....i'd probably say get a tempered and remove the built in one.
[G4 Accessories] JeffMD:
I have used xtremeguard polyurethane skins for a long time now. They were never the best quality but they supported the most devices and were cheap at doing it. You don't even need to worry about the sales, if you buy anything new just go to xtremeguards ebay store and everything there is around $1.99 shipped.

About the only issues is during manufacturing when it gets rolled, something can make almost microscopic vertical (the line is always up and down, never at an angle) lines. Most people would never see them.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stephencwl:
With so many ROMS up there and so many complications caused by different software, tweaks, etc., I used to test the stability of the ROMS like this:

Remove MicroSD card, fully charged. Backup PIM data with SPB backup.

Flash the new ROM.

Set datetime, regional stuff, Restore PIM data.

Set the phone to use GSM (2G) only.

Use the phone for 2 days without installing any 3rd party software and without the MicroSD card.

By use the phone I mean only voice call and SMS only. That's what I do with the phone for 80% of the time.

So far, only LVSW's latest ROM (June 16) can function properly in 2 days without hang or sleep of death.

I know it's not scientific nor comprehensive, I didn't test all the functions, .....

But that's the way I want my phone, simply WORK for voice and SMS first. Other stuff are value-added things, and I test their functions only after the ROM passed my 2-day test.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stephencwl:
Stephen - what other ROMs did you test?

As far as I can recall:

Black: Black 1.2, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, Dymond, Shadow, Shadow Lite.

LVSW: 26/3, 8/4, 23/4, 7/5 full, 19/5 full, Sleuth variant 20/5, Elf 2.1, 16/6 full

Custel: 1.2, 1.3, 2.5

Dutty: WM6 Pro FULL.

Never try 3DES, Schaps and XDA live.

My personal experience of the order of stability:

LVSW > Custel & Dutty >> Blacks.

Don't flame me. It's just my own experience. May be your phone has other results.

PS -all cooked ROM chefs are great and nice guys. They share their toys with us!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregross:
that's a comprehensive list - what carrier and phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DeviLduck:
Stephen,

Can you be more specific as to what happened with the phones that didn't pass your test? (hang, sleep of death, etc.) What happened with the latest version WM5 rom of your provider? Who is your provider & what level of service do you have?

What radio version are you using for each rom?

I've used every rom you mention plus others & no problems with basic functions.

For your future tests, you may consider adding some additional steps:

1. After setting up phone each time, do a complete shut down (hold pwr button until dialog appears to select OFF) & then power ON from this totally OFF point.

2. As a control, return to wm5 between each test.

3. Delete any files on SD card (between tests) that are created automatically (e.g. WMDRM, Windows, etc..) depending on how you use card.

In your tests here, did you return to WM5 rom between each rom you tried? This is very important (& time consuming, I realize) to do in such a test. For any conclusions to be drawn (without being unfair to various rom cookers with arbitrary listings in order of stability), we need more info & a protocol that includes controls.

Thanks for contributing this report, as every little bit helps, but please give us more details.

I'm from Hong Kong.

Carrier: Smartone - Vodafone.

Phone: Softbank X01HT (Hermes 200)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stephencwl:
I just keep things simple. I only look at system hang and sleep of death. My latest WM5 ROM (Dopod HK Traditional Chinese) sucks. That's why there's no point of using it as a control for comparing with the wonderful WM6 ROMs.

I wish my phone can work like yours.

I'll try step 1 and 3. Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

Yes, I know I should be more sensitive as to drawing up any listing that might be unfair to the great ROM cooker here. I do mention it's just my own experience, yet I think I better not do any listing.

Giving more details about protocols, radios, carrier info., etc. is a good idea that make tests scientific, but I just want to do it quick and make things simple. It's difficult to flash back and forth a few times to just test one particular ROM, not to mention their combinations with different radios.

That's why I use a simple 2-day test for each ROM. And you know, a few ROMS sometimes coming out at the same day. Woo... Lucky us.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DeviLduck:
Stephen,

Thanks for your reply to my post & revealing your provider & phone in another. What Radio ver are you using? Have you tried more than 1 version? In your testing, I'd suggest you stay with only one version.

Your provider in Hong Kong gives you access to very high HSDPA speeds, not available many places yet. That's cool.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:

but you're also right... yours and Sleuth's (previous one and maybe the new one)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stephencwl:
Thank you for your comment. I always stay with radio 1.40. Smartone Vodafone in Hong Kong is quite good. However, full speed HSPDA unlimited usage costs around US$60 a month. That's quite pricy for casual users.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] margatenj:
I've been using JJ's Shadow since it came out and I've had to reset fewer times then with the OEM rom. And I think its the third party software that I'm running that makes it lock up. I think one of the things that might help is to do a factory reset before installing ... then reseting after the install, making sure everything is working before you start installing the next option/software (ex. radio upgrade/programs/etc)

And always having the latest bootloader installed is always a must.

A friend of mine called Cingular about always needing to reset because of it locking up and they said that was normal. :rolleyes:

Dear XDA,

I don't know how wrong I am. But I hear people say to me "why should we bother" when it comes to customisation. Not only for Android, but also for computers as well (Arch for example). All I can think is that tinkering around will result in a much more stable system, right? Am I right, people?

Your Regards,

AlpyzDX
[Off-topic] Jesse72:
I would say the opposite, that it becomes less stable, but the upside is better/different features, as well as personalisation. That's what I think anyway, and I don't really care about others opinions about what I do.

Plus, to get people on my side I show them stuff that's sorta relevant to them, such as:

Kid - Look, I'm sending my internet through China! (TOR network)

Audiophile - Viper4android adjustments

Random person I know - Check these new status bar colours/icons

Dumb IOS fan - But I don't understand how android works *installs new launcher, icon pack and home screen* See, it looks exactly the same!

Etc

[Off-topic] Deleted member 4580696:
The thing is that they always ask me that "Why should we bother with it?" and "Why are you wasting time with it?". If you do it yourself, you'll understand on how it works, as a channel of Tek Syndicate called "TekLinux" mentioned it in a video. Can't they realise that they'll have something better at the end?
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
People also say that about cars. Houses. Clothing. Art. Hell, even hair. "Why should I dye it? What's the point?"

I've had people ask me why I waste so much time dyeing my hair a non-standard colour. The answer is the same, regardless of whether it's about my phone or my hair or the way every wall in my house has a different colour: "Because it's fun. Because I like doing it, and I like the result."

The ones that say that it's a waste of time and effort are people who are more happy being a number in a crowd, being normal and never being unique.

We customize and personalise because we want our system, cars, houses, even ourselves, to be better than average, different from everyone else, and we want it to work the way we prefer it.

The problem is that 'normal' people are selfish and shortsighted. They think that everyone like the same things as them, and can't accept that everyone is different. the idea that someone might have a different hobby, preference or idea is incomprehensible to them.

Perfect example: The average woman can't see the point of modding cars, the average bloke can't see the point of having so many different items of clothing and shoes. Yet both are the exact same principle, they just can't understand that someone is different.

Note the average, because both sides always have people who do see the point and enjoy it just as much. They are considered freaks by the common cattle. (In case anyone decides to feel offended by the 'freak' part, don't. I'm a woman who loves cars and tech, and hates shopping. I have a total of three pairs of shoes: sneakers, heeled boots and flat boots. I'm one of those socalled freaks. And proud of it.)

Customizing a phone's firmware to change the way it looks is no different from adding a bodykit to a car, or a scarf to a dress. It's the exact same thing, just different items.
