So my wife's g4 that was having WiFi problems now has no mobile data. It can make and receive calls and texts. WiFi is still uselessly slow. Pretty sure the phone has a problem at this point.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doodle_bob:
I was having the same problem, took the Sim card (AT&T) out, put it back in, restarted the phone. It's been working since
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rehok:
Is your Mobile network setup correctly? check it by going into Settings -> Mobile Data -> Menu -> Mobile Networks and look in the Access Point Names if nothing is there you will need to add a new APN and you can get that from the Carrier itself they should have it freely available
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quadmasta:
It's a Sprint phone so I don't have that option. I removed and reinstalled the SIM card and that didn't help either.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RasnCain:
I got a new 8525 this past friday, and over the weekend I upgraded to the Sleuth WM6 variant of lvsw rom.

One of the first things I wanted to do and install was the google gmail applet which I used alot on my 2125 smartphone.

After going to the google site and installing it, well it seems to be very problematic and flaky on my new 8525 however. Not sure if this is related to WM6, java or the applet but wanted to ask others if they have had any success installing and using the gmail applet on the 8525?

One other thing I noticed is that when going to the gmail.com/app to download the app it seems to incorrectly identify the phone.

I figured that might be due to the WM6 rom or something, but wasn't sure.

The main issue may just be I have gotten the wrong applet for my phone, who knows.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] agovinoveritas:
No problems here. None at all.

It would help if you were a bit more, uh, specific?

What kind of errors? What does Google identify your phone as? Have you read that? Which one are you installing?

Some help here...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fb401:
I'd actually advise you to set up pop gmail in mobile outlook and use that instead of the java app. I use to use the java app but it's just not as friendly as you'd like it to be.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ahfunaki:
I haven't really had any issues on mine...

What kind of problems are you having?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RasnCain:
Phone is being identified as: LG CU500

Issue is with the app freezing up, phone becomes unresponsive for a very long time and then finally starts working again.

Appreciate your time to read and respond, sorry I was not very clear earlier regarding the issue.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palingenesis:
OK, so I have an issue that I have not seen before, I googled the issue but cannot find anyone with the same issue. So I will try to keep this brief and hope that somebody will please help me with this.

I have LS980 Sprint LG G2. Earlier today, I tot my phone to ZVE. I used the update.zip method to update to ZVG. Then I reboot into recovery, wiped data/system/cache/dalvik, flashed the new CloudyG2 3.1 rom, flashed the hotfix, then reboot my phone. It booted to the LG logo and stayed there. Did not go any further. No boot animation. So I reboot back to recovery, wiped data/system/cache/dalvik again and this time I tried by flashing the LP bootstack, then the CloudyG2 3.1, then the hotfix and reboot my phone. This time it just showed the LG logo then straight to a black screen and stayed there. So I reboot to recovery again, wiped again, then flashed KK baseband, then CloudyG2 2.2. Now that rom booted up and my phone was back to normal, or so I thought.

Now, I can boot into the rom and everything works in the rom. I can boot into recovery and it flashes the things I want it to flash. But I do not have download mode. When I try to go into download mode, it shows the blue dots and says download mode, but at the top it says secure boot error. Then goes to the black screen again. So now I cannot tot to go back to factory.

I also tried to flash the CloudyG2 3.1 from CloudyG2 2.2. After I booted into CloudyG2 2.2, I went back into recovery, wiped data/system/cache/dalvik, then flashed CloudyG2 3.1, the hotfix, then reboot the phone and it shows LG logo for a second then back to the black screen. I also tried flashing the LP bootstack before CloudyG2 3.1, logo then black screen.

I know this is somewhat of a repost. But there I am discovering new things along the way and nobody has helped me yet. Anyone know how I can fix this?
[LG G Flex 2] androFRUST:
Hi Guys,

New to this forum. I recently sold my one plus due to the exact reason but this was at the bottom of the display. Many have said that it would disappear over time but after 6 months, the yellow band was still haunting me. Gave up because of how infuriating it was and sold it. Got this beast, loving it but I noticed straight away at the top left of the display there was a yellow spot which spreads slightly to the centre. Im not familiar with the characteristics of certain displays as I am aware of the different kinds of displays these two devices use. Just wondering, would this problem disappear over time ?? I saw this post on this particular "fix" sites, which says that it will over time given the glue dispersion from heat and what not. BUT, im just afraid (skeptic here) it would end up like my one plus. Im trying to avoid going back to the reseller as this phone was purchased from a grey importer. Any input from any of you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
a lot of people have yellow spots . the spots are mostly visible in 0% brightness and grey backround. Install dead pixel detect and fix and choose gray from the menu. if the result is not good contact with lg service center to change the screen.

you mentioned also oneplus. I also had oneplus before. it had 2 issues the first one was the led light bleeding and the yellow banding. the led bleeding is only visible down due to the position of led lights of the phone and cannot be fixed. the yellow band was due to the glue that didn't properly fixed. I personally had this issue but after some months It was fixed by the use of the phone. I also let it 2-3 times under direct sunlight for 20-25 minutes.
[LG G Flex 2] androFRUST:
Just wondering, would it work if id put the Flex 2 under the sun as well? The discolouration is only noticeable, like you said, on Grey background.. wonder if this would go away over time.. thanks again!! :crying::crying:
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
you can try it but I don't know if the glue is the issue. on the other hand lg has a very good service maybe it can replace your screen if the problem is so obvious
[LG G Flex 2] androFRUST:
hey, i managed to exchange for another one. Though there is some improvement, the yellow spots are still apparent albeit less noticeable and only in Grey background. Did your's disappear, or at least improve overtime? How is it? I have tried using a 38W UV lamp for nearly an hour and the yellow spots are still there..
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
you may need to try a lot of screens to find a good one lol. Mine also has some yellow spots visible in grey but I can live with it... I have still 23 months to think about it (warranty)

My LG G Watch R is stuck in this screen. After I did a restore the other day the screen has been stuck like this. It managed to come back once for about a minute but then went right back to this screen. The watch was a gift to me at Christmas this year so I'm not sure about returning it. Anyone else have this problem and managed to fix it? Help would be very much appreciated.
[LG G Watch R] tommythm:
I've got the same problem with you, hope someone can help me. I appricate.
[LG G Watch R] miffymiffy:
If you hold the button down to reset, does it change anything?
[LG G Watch R] jhnewton84:
I would occasionally see this on my phone after a bad ROM flash. Can you get to the bootloader or recovery and see the screen fine? If so, you try a factory reset from there, flash the factory images here, or install an Urbane port here.
[LG G Watch R] Alikeo:
It vibrates, powers off, then turns itself back on with the same image.
[LG G Watch R] Alikeo:
No, the screen does not work whatsoever, so I am unable to get to the bootloader.
[LG G Watch R] ejl2002:
Same issue here, then screen would only light up with pink pixels, and some black. would boot on the dock in the same way. Sent into lg, waiting on the diagnosis currently. not sure if it is fixable or what. I will update when I get some news. One thing I can say is they paid for the shipping there, so at least that was covered.
[LG G Watch R] Robbie.1075:
Information...

Could you possibly give me the info on how to contact LG about this same issue so I can send my G Watch R in to get diagnosed? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
[LG G Watch R] ejl2002:
Got my watch back, looks like the guts were replaced, my screen was scratched, it is no longer.It was repaired under warranty which I was surprised as I had no receipt anymore. My only problem is I sent it all in the original box, they only sent back the watch and band. I have been waiting over 2 weeks for them to see if they can find my charging dock and original box. I am no longer holding my breath. I bought a new dock from amazon, and if they send my original, I will just have a spare.

to send in the watch, google lg repair, then you can fill out the form to get a RMA. They even pay the shipping both ways. Takes a while, just be forewarned.
[LG G Watch R] young0ne:
do you know how the process when when you called in to get it fixed?
[LG G Watch R] ejl2002:
Just call or fill out the form, tell them it is broken, and go from there. pretty easy process. Whatever you do, only send the watch, no box or charging base, I went through hell and 2 months to get them to send me the base they claimed they never received. I ended up buying one because I lost hope. I now have 2 charging bases, so I guess it worked out.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george120879:
I have a galaxy S6 Edge 128 GB and have been using for couple of weeks a powercase made for it.

Up to the last 4 days the powercase was working 100%.

Recently it doesn't charge the phone even if its connected to it and the lights are on , on the case and the phone shows that is charging.

Instead of increasing the percentages of the battery it does decrease them , and the phone gets very hot.

Any ideas about this issue?

After using the case it takes a while until normal cables start working and charge the phone.

Any help would be much appreciated .

Same thing happens with the usb cable on my desktop.Shows that is charging but it doesn't and the percentages of the battery get less.

[Nexus 6  General] waydog:
If your having slower speed running a custom rom try this out - it helped me. (only for T-Mobile Nexus 6). Got it from geek squads help site. I'm not responsible if you screw up your device. Really its just adding an additional apn though, should be easy.

Tap the Menu button.

Tap Settings.

Tap Wireless and networks or More... (depending on your version of Android).

Tap Mobile Networks.

Tap Access point names.

Tap the Menu button.

Tap New APN.

Enter the following data into the onscreen form, without changing any other settings:

Name - T-Mobile Internet

APN - everywhere

Username - eesecure

Password - secure

MMSC - http://mms/

MMS Proxy - 149.254.201.135

MMS Port - 8080

Authentication type - PAP

APN type - If given a choice, select internet+mms, if the keyboard appears enter *

(As a check, the image below shows blue text in the fields you should have completed)

Tap the Menu button.

Tap Save.

Enable the newly-added APN by ensuring the line is ticked, or the radio button is lit by tapping on it.

Check the notification bar for 4G, H, 3G, E or G with up and down arrows beside it, which will indicate your connection is working.

[Sony Xperia ZL] BigT1962:
I recently acquired a Sony Xperia C6506 (ZL LTE). Before I start playing around with this phone, i need to offload some photos. I'm trying to connect the phone to my laptop running Windows 7 via the USB. My system does not recognize the phone. I'm assuming it's because I don't have the correct driver on my windows system . (I've also tried "PC Companion but had no luck there either). I searched the Sony web site for a driver but did not see a specific one for the C6506. Does anyone know where I can find the correct driver for the USB on Windows 7? Or does anyone have any other ideas why this might not be working?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] atisho:
I have the same phone and windows 7 recoginzed it and installed the driver by itself. Didn't remember if it downloaded it or found it from the system. Perhaps you can try the PC companion software from Sony.
[Sony Xperia ZL] BigT1962:
Thanks for the reply - I've loaded PC Companion and in step two, it never recognizes the device.
[Sony Xperia ZL] kt-Froggy:
What happens when you connect the phone to your PC? Anything? Do you see any messages popping up? Any errors? Do you see it in device manager? Also, do you see any messages on your phone when you plug it in? What USB connection mode is set in your phone's settings? In general, MTP should be the most universal method.

I have the same phone, and it is recognized perfectly by Windows 7 (at work) and Windows 8.1 (at home). When you install Sony PC Companion, it includes the proper drivers, so you don't need to do anything extra (you do need additional drivers for flash mode and ADB, but that's a different topic). I would suggest trying another PC, to see if it makes any difference. If it still doesn't work, it might be something with your phone...

As an alternative, you can use a WiFi connection to access your files on the phone. I often use either ES File Explorer or Software Data Cable - they both provide an FTP service that you can connect to from your PC over WiFi.
[Sony Xperia ZL] DLSlith:
Have you tried with another cable? My Xperia is recognized perfectly out-of-the-box on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, as soon as I connect it, PC starts to search and download drivers, no PC Companion installed nor Flashtool drivers. :/
[Sony Xperia ZL] kt-Froggy:
Yeah, that would be a good option to start, forgot to mention it. I've seen bad USB cables quite a few times, more often than I'd expect...
[Sony Xperia ZL] BigT1962:
Thanks again for the quick replies and the suggestions cause they worked - it was the cable. The cable I was using was capable of charging the phone but did not allow Windows to recognize it. I used a different cable and it worked fine. Tharnks again. Now the fun begins changing the phone into a media playing device. If you have any suggestions on this I'm all ears.

Thanks

I am thinking about getting a case for my phone, but I also want to get the leather back, but it seems like a waste to put a case over the leather back. Do you guys think a case is necessary to protect the phone?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyy999deba:
It is a waste if choosing a back case.But a hybrid kickstand case is a good choice for your g4.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jedi54:
have you considered a bumper case so you get the best of both worlds?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbonto:
get a bumper.

you won't have to worry if you drop your phone on the front, sides or the corners, and your leather would get as much wear as if you're going naked.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fma15:
Yeah I didn't even think of a bumper. Can you guys suggest some good ones?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamsjordan75:
yes, case is necessary for me. and i am using a wallet type leather case and it's function is useful for me.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadram:
A case is not necessary if you're careful in general. That's me, but dropping your phone is practically inevitable. If I don't drop it, someone will do it for me.

Naked is always the prettiest choice, but you gotta protect your investment.

I bought a bumper, the QuickCircle, and a wallet case by Goospery.

I dig the aluminium bumper because it's discreet, but it doesn't protect the back cover that bulges out.

I like the QuiCircle flip case because it actually adds functionality (and wireless charging in some cases), but the flipping is inconvenient to me and it hides the phone

I like the Goospery wallet case beacuse of the colors and wallet convenience, but it's HUGE, it adds at least 2 cm in height to the phone

In all honesty, I'll be playing around with them, but eventually I'll go back to naked

Hope this helps :)

Edit:

Aluminium bumper

QuickCircle

Goospery Wallet

No case or anything for me. I'm waiting to find a good bumper that hours on and off easily add I plan to replace the battery semi regularly. I have yet to find a bumper that goes on and off easily yet though.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontpannic:
I bought a cheap rubber case from Amazon (£1.50). I have the plastic backed phone so no worries about the leather but the case gives me a little more grip and a little more protection without adding much bulk. It'll do me!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darien87:
I think a case is an absolute necessity. But I just have the plastic-backed phone. I wouldn't want to cover up the leather back if I had it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I LOVE the Slim Exact Fit Hard cases. Especially the Incipio Feather because it has a nice soft matte rubbery feel, but they don't make one for the G4. Instead I have the Spigen ExactFit case. It fits exactly the same but the finish (while matte) is slick, not rubbery.

But YES a case is needed. As little protection these "slim" fit cases provide, they do a whole lot surrounding the phones body. I have dropped mine, slid it across a parking lot, and all kinds of stuff. They do help keep the phone body from getting scratched and dented.

They are like $6. Well worth it. I have sent emails to Incipio to try and convey them to do a Feather Case. :(

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windozeanti:
It is not necessary if you have lots of money to change phone every month. :p
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hordarian:
Case is absolutely essential. The brown leather is really slippery compared to the plastic back, I managed to launch my phone within 2 days of recieving it. The screen may have survived the impact with a case - the plastic surround certainly wouldn't have had chunks gouged out of it...

The encouragement of going without a case so that the leather wears is going to cause an awful lot of broken glass.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Yes, a case is an absolute necessity if you want to keep it safe from drops. I recommend a Spigen hybrid or something similar that can shock absorb. I had a slim hard case on my nexus 6 and after a relatively minor fall it cracked. My insurance wrote it off and gave me a cash payout. I gut a neo hybrid straight away for my G4. Breaking your phone and having to wait for insurance is a right ball break.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jooosty:
I usually go with a case, however I feel that the G4 with a case will be a little too large for my hands.

For me the look of deep blue back is too nice to just cover up. I've opted for no case this time as the phone feels very nice in hand.

I do want to state that the shiny metal band has already shown scratching already.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NardVa:
You never need a case until you actually drop the phone.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windozeanti:
In case you are not aware. It's a chrome plating. Not metal.. :(
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z3ldaFan88:
I personally use a case on mine (OtterBox Commutter) but to be fair it was picked up with my G4 and already installed on it when the phone was given to me, so I have not actually seen how the build quality of the phone itself is. Generally speaking though I say always use a case just because well you know "better safe than sorry"....Even with the case it is not bulky, heavy, or awkward to hold so I figure why not for.
