[G4 General] KiaAfzali:
I bought the LG G4 the first day it was released on T-Mobile (may 27th I think), so I have had it for almost 2 months. I have the brown leather back version.

My first problem is that the leather is getting ruined in the corners of the back cover. My second problem is some of the slim cases don't fit the leather back lg g4.

I never had any issues with the battery. I was really impressed by the battery standby time actually. (I realized that installing the telegram app increased my "phone idle" battery usage by 10%.)

The camera is amazing in my opinion. I only have 2 problems with it:

1)Sometimes, when I zoom in the photos, they look like oil painting (?!)

2)It takes a long time for it to capture a photo after I press the shutter button (compared to s6 and iphone 6)

The software mostly ****. I installed Google now launcher since day one.

1) Some icons are square and some icons are round

2)The emojis are ugly and I can't change them

3)The notification bar is ugly

4)All the other things that skin touches

I think the display is amazing. It has good colors with high contrast and it is visible outside.

Something that happened to me yesterday: I didn't purchase a screen protector because I assumed that the curved screen would help protecting the screen if it fell. My phone slipped out of my hand yesterday from 4 feet above the ground. It fell face down on a smooth ceramic floor. The screen got completely shattered. The phone still works though. I contacted LG and they said it costs 70-300$ to replace. :(

How much do you think I can sell it for with a cracked screen?
[G4 General] DsturbD:
ahh ok gotcha, yes thats my feeling exactly, once they start coming out i'll pretty much only use a stock based rom for that very reason. i'll try the aosp roms for sure, but the camera is the main reason i got this phone, it would be nice if they did put on the play store, that would be awesome, even if they charged for it, id buy it and run aosp on this puppy :cool:
[G4 General] larsdennert:
I would agree that the still camera is the best I've had on any phone and better than many point and shoot cameras I've had. For such a tiny lens, the low light is excellent. Lack of a real zoom is it's only limitation. The front camera is also the best I've seen.

As a video recorder, I'd say it is truly the worst I've seen on any device. The OIS amplifies and warps movement making video much worse than were it disabled. I have a very steady hand and shoot lots of video but this cam makes it tougher. The recording quality of audio is so tinny and muffled that it is barely better than a camera inside an underwater housing. Truly unusable for anything other than factual recording.
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
1) I get the oil painting look too sometimes, typically in low-light conditions. I believe it is due to the camera using a high ISO value, for more light sensitivity, which results in reduced image quality (this is inherent to digital cameras, nothing specific the G4). The camera's noise reduction processing may also contribute. Looking at the RAW (DNG) picture would show the original image, before any processing (noise reduction) done by the camera.

2) I also sometimes get long focus times, which I assume is what's causing the delay. I typically tap where I want it to focus, let it focus, then take the picture, to reduce the shutter lag. This seems more pronounced, again, in low-light conditions.

I haven't really taken any videos with it yet.

I have Adblock Plus on my LG G4. I sideloaded it and I don't have root. Works just fine.
[G4 General] DsturbD:
how does it work if it can't write the hosts file to your system partition?
[G4 General] frmorrison:
If you use the Firefox browser you can install Adblock Plus or Ublock to block ads on websites. This doesn't work in apps though.
[G4 General] larsdennert:
You configure it as a proxy for your internet connection and it filters that way. Problem is you can't set up a proxy for LTE. It only works while you are on wifi. If you can configure your APN then it could be filtered that way.

You configure it as a proxy for your internet connection and it filters that way. Problem is you can't set up a proxy for LTE. It only works while you are on wifi. If you can configure your APN then it could be filtered that way.

You can also install No Root firewall which can disable internet entirely on a per app basis. It is complicated to use, er convoluted anyway. It filters using a VPN connection looped back. I wish someone wrote an ad blocker that way. Pretty effective.
[G4 General] ghodzilla5150:
Like the others have said you have to configure thru a Proxy on your WiFi network. I have done that and it works just fine.

[G4 General] WarlockM:
Hi

I dont know why do you want some strange roms who are buggier than what LG offers???

They have an army of guys (LG) who work for that software opposed to 1 or maybe 10 guys who plays with software. No more strange roms for me EVER.

And after you root your phone, you screw with something and the blame goes also to LG.

I have 2 LG G4 for 1 month, no problems at all.

Cyanogenmod is based upon stock android, and stock android is developed by an army of developers who are much more skilled than LG's. I rather use an unstable rom and lose my awesome camera than to use UX 4.0.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicofisi:
Hi everybody, I'm trying to build Cyanogenmod 12.1 for my tablet. (just for me, for learning)

I have SlimKat rom temporarily installed (Android KitKat, exactly 4.4.4)

I got to a stage when I have to fill in BoardConfig.mk file.

I stopped at a few lines, which by default look like this:

# fix this up by examining /proc/mtd on a running device
BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00380000
BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00480000
BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x08c60000
BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000

This is a part of the tutorial which is on the official CyanogenMod wiki (I can't give you a link, because I'm new user on XDA)

I tried this commands (all after typing "su" (so with root privileges)) :

cat /proc/mtd

which gave me this error:

/system/bin/sh: cat: /proc/mtd: No such file or directory

than I tried

cat /proc/partitions

which gave me this:

<in attachment>

I suppose that name on the right is partition name, right? But how do I know which one is e.g. recovery, user data etc.?

The note says:

... I'm not sure which size to multiply.

I checked a few more commands, all with the same output:

<...> No such file or directory

I have searched xda and some forums in my language. I found many interesting topics.. I've learnt much interesting stuff.. but nothing has helped me.

I'm thinking about it for 2 days now and, mates, I'm counting on your help. :)

I think with your knowledge this problem may be solved in a moment, but for me it's very frustrating. Please consider me as someone who almost doesn't know what are they doing :) (I'm building the CM for the first time)

In advance, thank you very much for your help! :good:

All the best, Nicofisi :laugh:

Use a root enabled file browser and go to dev/block/platform/..../by-name. There may be another folder in that path depending on your device.

You will find all partitions listed by name with a simlink to the partition number. Cross-reference that with the list in your attachment for the names and sizes.

I'm probably screwed here but I really do hope someone here can help me out.

Fiddling around trying to get the D80020u update back on my G2 I ended up clearing everything out of the phone include the ROM that was installed. All that's left is TWRP.

The phone won't get detected in ADB and in device manager it's an unknown device named LG-D800.

Probably a dead phone but is there a way to fix this?

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteVO.:
Hello,

i want to start using ubuntu touch on my nexus 4. The problem is, the touch screen does not work on the uper part of the display (just some pixels).

I already installed Ubuntu and i really like it. The Problem is, i cant use the notification center nor the back buttons of the apps.

So, is it possible to reduce the screen resolution, that the upper part of the display is not in use anymore?

Thanks and best regards

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] numbi:
Hello,

my problem is after trying to revert back to the stock rom I messed things up and I can't get back to fastboot mode.

But I will describe what I did. First thing I did many weeks ago was the installation of cyanogenmod 11 KitKat on the P6.

All worked fine except for the high power consumption. Because of that I decided to switch back to the stock rom.

To do that I have made the following steps.

1. I downloaded the Jelly Bean firmware from the official huawei website. (I can't post the link since I'm a new user)

2. I used the download extractor to extract boot.img and recovery.img

3. I flashed them via fastboot

4. I prepared a SD card with the update.app in the dload folder

5. booted the phone with volume buttons pressed. Update process started but failed. There was no error message only a huge FAIL message.

6. After that I switched back to TWRP recovery what worked fine

7. I build a flashable zip file with the update extractor of boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, cust.img, userdata.img and flashed it via TWRP

8. Than I realised that I mistakenly included the recovery.img which overwrote the TWRP recovery

Now the phone always starts to the huawei logo also when starting with volume buttons pressed. I can't access the fastboot mode anymore.

When shutting it down it reboots instantly.

My questions are the following.

* Can a corrupted recovery block the access of the fastboot mode or any mode to access the phone via USB to flash a new recovery?

* Are there other ways to reset the phone?

* Was it a problem to take a Jelly Bean stock rom after a KitKat installation?

* If the phone is bricked, do you have any suggestion what to do with it? Is it worthless now? Sell on ebay? Hope this is not necessary.

Thank you so much!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
When you say its bricked does that mean that it gets stuck on huawei ascend logo? If thats the case than you should be ablr to enter fastbboot since thats the sign you are in bootloader mode.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] numbi:
Well that is what I thought too, but I can't get a connection via adb or fastboot.

"adb devices" lists nothing. When connecting the phone via usb to the computer there is no log entry generated on the computer like it's the case with other usb devices.

I tried different usb cables. I'm unsure how to be really sure whether I'm in fastboot mode or not.

Before flashing the zip everything worked fine so it's very unlikely to be a driver issue or something related to the computer I think.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] numbi:
I fixed it by replacing the motherboard using a very detailed tutorial on ifixit.

The P6 is not build to be repaired by the customer but with the right tools it was ok.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] hadi360:
I turn the phone in the debug mode and flash the stock recovery back you enter the debug mode by press and hold on the volume down then after it the power for 10 sec. after you plug the phone to the computer via usb then download this file: 4shared.com/rar/9HO06Lpjba/p6_stock_recovery.html

and then unzip the file then open by order

1- adb-windows if you have windows

2- fastboot-windows

3- install-recovery-windows

and restart the phone and you have the stock recovery back

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] devacom:
I have some questions:

1. I read in this forum that O2's 4.01.12 is the most stable WM2003 ROM. Why is that 4.01.12 more stable than T-Mobile 4.01.16, Qtek 4.02.20 or Siemens A.30.09, since unlike TM, Qtek or Siemens, 4.01.12 is not an official ROM release from O2?

2. Does Siemens' A.30.09 has similar problem like TM 4.01.16 and Qtek 4.02.20, which prevent ROM update via activesync, and is it suitable for my PW10A1?

Thanks for the advice.

I have had this problem when my internet speed just wasn't fast enough for streaming. We were suppose to have 30 mbps but in reality it was 2-3 mbps, Hargray said we lost all that speed due to it being a wireless connection. We got rid of Hargray, got TimeWarner, paid for 50 mbps, and in reality wirelessly we still got 50 mbps wirelessly and streaming was no longer a problem. This was not with miracast, but netflix and amazon streaming- but the principle is the same.

How about turning the damn thing off? You're at a festival, so enjoy the music and the atmosphere, turn the phone back on once in the morning and once in the evening just in case someone needs to get hold of you.

Young kids of today have no idea.:mad:

Seriously if you are at a festival and you are worried about your phone lasting you are doing it all wrong. One thing experience has taught me is that you organise your....ahem, supplies beforehand.;)

A much greater risk is your phone getting lost smashed or stolen. I am sure the land mass of Glastonbury is by now made of 50% trampled phones.

So turn your phone of, put it away, purchase a battery pack relax and have a good time.

You can disable hotplugging and only have one core running which will help save battery. The best thing to do when going for long days is to keep your brightness low. Good luck!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10k35h:
Since you are already using Boeffla kernel, I am sure you will underclock the CPU and GPU to power save modes. You need to switch off google location services. Install a software that can take log of your device's wakelocks and you might want to disable those applications. Xposed is still in Alpha but AMPLIFY on Xposed was a great wakelock fix. You can install GREENIFY from PlayStore to make sure apps are hibernated when not been used.

Hello All.

I was on a hiking trip which ended horribly with me trudging through a river trying to keep my phone dry.

I Unfortunately wasn't able to keep my phone above water at all times, and ended up dipping it quite a few times.

I turned my phone off previously which did help.

I went home, opened the back up, wiped the water off from inside and stuck it in rice for a few hours.

Alas, the phone was able to charge.

Screen is perfectly fine.

A couple of random reboots, and the phone was working 90%

Wifi, GPS, Memory, etc was all functioning except for the radio.

I've tried different SIMs, but cant achieve any signal from any service provider.

Scanning for them aquires an error instantly, APNs are all set.

Here is a screenshot of what my phone's telling me

I'd hate to ditch this phone due to it's radio not working,

How would I go about fixing this?

[Verizon LG G3] lavin40:
I was wondering if their a way to receive and install OTA without having to unroot my device if you do can someone point me in the right direction thanks in advance
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
No. You must be on pure stock, never rooted or it will never accept it. Rooting modifies the system partition which the OTA senses and refuses to install.

And, if you are rooted, unrooting won't fix it as the system partition has already been modified.

Also, you have to remove TWRP (if bumped) as it cannot apply the OTA.

So you have to either flash back via TOT or KDZ to 12B and then start accepting the OTAs that way.
