[T-Mobile LG G4] Flowgun:
For those who lost the rubber

hello guys. I have the H818P LG G4 model and when buying the screen I thought I must buy a dual-sim compatible frame (but now I think that even other screen models work. I didn't notice any difference when I disassembled the phone - but never tried). long story short, I had to send my phone to Iraq to find a compatible screen replacement and I received it back without the little rubber, with all the problems above. I had to improvise until I get my old frame back.

I tried all the apps but none of them worked. Your phone needs to be rooted to disable the proximity sensor, which is extremely risky on LG G4 (and especially on my model) as they don't get proper focus. you also need to downgrade to lollipop if you upgraded your android version to marshmallow. it is quiet complicated.

I read a solution suggesting to put a little piece of foil paper in front of the sensor to reflect the light back to it. It's easier and surprisingly less risky than messing with the software. I'm going to disassemble my phone and try it now.

update: the role of the aluminium foil is not to reflect light, but to obstruct it. the sensor is composed of two compounds: infrared emitter and light detector. the infrared shouldn't reach the light detector if you want the proximity sensor to remain off. After a couple of tries, I used a small piece of duct tape to cover them both. Works fine. side effect: automatic luminosity thinks it's always dark. I didn't bother dissembling my phone again to uncover the light sensor as I don't use automatic luminosity that much and that I'm going to get the rubber within two weeks.

This works. Perfect solution. Had the same problem after a screen replacement
[T-Mobile LG G4] sud_ran:
Awesome!

Glad it helped. Enjoy.

I got rid of my G4 after that bootloop auto shut off issue and bought a N6P.

Just restored G4 yesterday with the new method turning off the big cores. Its one of the best phones i had, wish i could get the motherboard fixed under warranty..

Unfortunately i moved out of USA so can't do that anymore.
[T-Mobile LG G4] ElZeck:
Thanks a Million!!!! Mhozlock's fix and sud_ran's pictures saved my day! Thought I had somehow ****ed up my girl's phone's proximity sensor when I replaced the screen! Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G4] GaudE:
You just saved my life :)

Thank you for the tipp. Now the proximity sensor is working again!
[T-Mobile LG G4] deadstillstanding:
Thank you! This must be the problem. I'm guessing that's why the phone speaker has gone super quiet too – I must have lost the gasket for that as well. Wish these gaskets were mentioned in the tear down video I followed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS02J12I1MU), or that I'd been careful enough to notice the damn things. Unfortunately, I chucked the old frame last week so I can't cannibalize it now :(

If you end up in my situation there seems to be three options:

1) Buy a broken spares-or-repairs G4 on Ebay and cannibalize it. There are a few out there but they tend to be kinda pricey (£40+) for a broken phone

2) Buy a spare part. The G4 prox sensor gasket number is MBL66397801. Some parts retailers list it but none have it in stock currently (Sep 2016)

3) Try making your own by poking holes in a bit of tape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzbznNb-aXM I'm gonna give this a go tonight... wish me luck!
[T-Mobile LG G4] deadstillstanding:
So the DIY approach worked! Instead of burning dots in a bit of insulating tape like that video I did the following which took about five minutes, including frame disassembly/reassembly:

Fold over a bit of duck tape (so it sticks onto itself) and trim down to a smallish rectangle that'll fit snugly against the glass in the small slot in the left-hand red box on Sud's photo[IMG="The LG G4 815 proximity sensor gasket (little rubber thing at the top) and the slot it goes into (left-hand red box)"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3486146&d=1443210284[/IMG]

Cut a small triangle out of either side with fine nail scissors so it ends up looking like a sideways bow tie. The triangle shapes shouldn't cut too far into the middle. You're in effect dividing up the window in the glass into two smaller windows – one for the LED and one for the sensor – and they need to be well isolated

Gently push your little duct tape sideways bow tie thing into place and close up the frame

Job done!

Wouldn't normally post in an old thread, but this just saved me heaps of nerves and time. Appreciate it beyond imagination. Now my phone's as good as new.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Konstigt:
Note: They light gray rubber piece which is supposed to be in the red area on the right frame on this pic is not for the proximity sensor but should also be transferred from the original frame. Only the black rubber gasket shown on the left frame is for the proximity sensor.
[T-Mobile LG G4] 1gtrman:
Same issue

Your the man!! went and dug the old digitizer out of the trash and pull out the little rubber for the proximity sensor and wah-la she's good as new!! Thanks again for posting!!

Use the flow chart from post #2 in this thread to identify the correct framework for your device (links to the corresponding threads are given below the flow chart).

What custom recovery do you use? TWRP is the recommended one, as other recoveries have the "signature verification" issue you are facing. Use TWRP instead.

It's quite easy: open Google (or any search engine you like) and type in:

If there is no TWRP available for your device, there is no way for you to get Xposed working at the moment.

My recommendation for you: don't flash Xposed, as you are clearly not able to research/solve the easiest things by your own. Xposed is for advanced users.

Hi, I have a question for you experienced guys in here. My phone has been acting a little wired recently, I had some notifications saying "Restricted Access changed, dataconnection blocked." some weeks ago, the notifications stopped about a week after. I thought it was was wired, and ran some Antivirus (Lookout, boost, malwarebytes), but there was nothing to see, then today I went in to "My files" and in "Internal storage" there was all down in the bottom, a file called qs.pid, it was white, not yellow as the rest of the files, and you couldn't open it..... Anyone know what it is? Thanks.

Phone: LG G2 (D802)

Running 4.4 kitkat

My country: Denmark
[XDA Assist] Mike B.:
Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.

Those "Restricted Access changed" notifications often stem from either a temporary problem with the service provider or a loose SIM contact.

The mere presence of a "qs.pid" file is nothing to worry about. It was probably a temporary file created to store the "Process ID" (PID) of something that was executing on your system but there's no clear way to know what that something is or was. If the file persists after a reboot and you have a rooted device, you should be able to delete it with a root-enable file manager.

If you need information specific to your LG G2, you could ask in the friendly LG G2 Q&A forum at http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/help but there is no obvious reason to be too concerned much about that file unless you start having problems.

Good Luck!

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC-OH_SNAP:
Ok, here's the rundown - I have a VZW Moto X (XT1096). I previously ran mofo on it had flashed the 5.1 img files to it and so had 5.1 rooted, but with a locked bootloader. After learning that JCase had gotten sunshine to work on it I unlocked my boot loader. I then decided that because I was worried about having the a kind of mish-mash of systems on it, i.e., 5.0 bootloader (unlocked) with hacked and modded 5.1 system files flashed from mofo, that I wanted to start fresh. I then used the XT1096 flash to stock script and flashed back to 5.0 (there were a bunch of problems and bootloops and force closes, but I am happy to report I am now on a fully stock 5.0 with unlocked BL). Following being stock I have tried to take the OTA but have been unable to do so. When I try it OTA on my device it just sits at 0%. When I tried using MDM it gave me an error message that it failed to install the update - on the device it said getjar: unlocked.

So, now that I am on 5.0 with an unlocked bootloader I am not sure how to proceed with my priorities, Root, WiFi tethering and upgrading to 5.1. My questions are this:

(1) How can I upgrade to 5.1 or does my bootloader unlock preclude that?

(2) How best can I achieve root?

(3) Once I am rooted what do I need to do in order to enable wifi tethering?

Thank you so much!
