[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLimey:
Just an update. While it was getting better, I wasn't happy with it. It's a great phone in and of itself, but not a 2015 flagship imho. I still preferred my 2 year old G2. That being said, I traded the G4 in for the Note 5. So yeah. This year LG was a miss for me. I wish you all well. (I really do miss the leather backing though, it rocked).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkerr123:
Mine was using a lot in standby despite wifi, mobile data etc being turned off using llama.

I tried an app called Doze and it has transformed my phone. It creates a VPN to block ALL traffic except for apps that you whitelist e.g. Whatsapp etc.

E.g. Yesterday I was at work and the phone was fully charged at 08.30, and hadn't been used at all except to check the time occasionally.. by mid afternoon it was still on 99%.

Amazing app. I know that if the screen is off I am confident that the battery life will be more or less exactly as I left it.

Some may complain that this restricts the true potential of the phone, however for me it's real purpose is to last the day and have power when you actually need it. Too many times I have needed to use the phone and pulled it out my pocket to see that it had wasted my battery on useless crap that I didn't see anyway.

Until such times as they invent a new type of battery, this for me is the best compromise.

They also do one called shutapp which I am also trying which claims to save battery by shutting down background apps. I'm a bit sceptical of these task killer type things and found it isn't really necessary and didn't make much difference on top of the doze app. It has a setting called Pocket Shut which costs extra, which is supposed to kill apps when it detects the phone is in your pocket. That feature doesn't work on the G4, I emailed the dev who is working on a solution now.

I've tried most of the battery saving apps over the years with different phones but doze just works perfectly for me.

Oh, and it's free with no ads:thumbup:

wifi & mobile turned off.

why isn't this like wifi & mobile turned off ?

What i don't understand is how does the drain come down with VPN.

.

that is normal behaviour unless you have rogue apps.

i'm with the on-demand side. use it only when you need it. Conservative. Vendors enable a lot of things to cut down on support calls complaining why this or that does not work.

Very good, i was curious about it. Seems to be v2 this doze is still v1.

Can you install gsam, post your stats at the end of the run, with & without this app.

I have a european Honor 7. in the technical features it has AC Wlan. But my fastes connection is 200 mbit sitting 1 meter from my Netgear Nighthawk R8000 ( 1300 mbit)

With AC wifi AP you may receive more speed.

It's very good result for mobile phone, more that really need in a smartphone.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astecitos:
With all respect, it bothers me to the brim when someone questions in this kind of forums (developers, diy, craft, etc...) if some other user needs or doesn't need. It's not that we need it, it's that we can, it's that we want to do it, because it can be done, the device specs tell you you can. That's why we are hobbyists.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sippay:
I have been having this problem on my HTC one m8 since I bought it. I save a number without a country code. I receive a call from the number it doesn't show the contact name I've linked it to. It just shows the number with the country code +XXX 123456 And if I save a contact with a country code when I receive a call it has the country code and doesn't show the contact name and only the number without country code 123456. I have to save both the numbers in the contact info for it to show the caller ID.

This is really annoying because when I sometimes receive messages or calls by numbers that I have saved onto my phone. I can't tell who they are. Would really appreciate any solutions.
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
Long story short. We know the recent acquisition of the excellent QuickPic app by Cheetah Mobile. Being one of those who would like to avoid using any Cheetah app, and yet can't live without QuickPic, I have followed tips from others to resign the QuickPic v4.5.2 (last good version before Cheetah acquisition), so as to keep the app in my phone without the fear of auto-update or trouble of skipping update notification by Google Play Store.

Below are the original (1st attachment) and resigned (2nd attachment) versions. To use the resigned version, first uninstall the QuickPic app in your phone, and then install the resigned app and you will be fine.

(p.s. The resigned version is prepared by signing the original version with the test certificate provided in the Android SDK and then zip-aligning.)

(p.s.2 You can get the orginal v4.5.2 from the author's site here: http://alensw.com/assets/quickpic_4.5.2.apk )

Hi.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what does the re-signed version do? Will it (or either or the versions attached) stop the current Cheetah QuickPic from updating and/stop me getting update messages for it (as I don't have auto-update set)?

Thanks for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
You are right. The re-signed version is based on the last "true" version of QuickPic (v4.5.2) before it got bought by CheetahMobile. As it is re-signed, it will not auto-update itself through Play Store (and will never show up in the Update list). Result: QuickPic without CheetahMobile :good:
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
exactly.. :D

[Android Apps and Games] sindawe:
Hi all,

I love QuickPic, it's one of the first apps that i restore/install whenever I flash and I always keep it updated as much as possible. I was a little worried after I saw the posts about the acquisition and getting loaded up with bloat/spam, and please forgive me if I'm missing something, but I don't see any of that in their current releases. The last update I had was maybe a day or two ago and, while it does say "Cheetah.....blahblah" as the developer, the only thing that I see added was the introduction of a 1,000GB cloud storage and autobackup for your pix (and the ability to send your quickpic code to a friend for an additional 1,000GB of cloud storage). Also not noticing any form of lag using the app either. I checked the market this morning and QuickPic did not show an update; when I open the app, there's no ads, banners, etc.

Anyway, I just wanted to throw it out there that as far as the updates go, as of 9/21 AM, I'm not seeing anything that would make me walk away from the app. (US Market)
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
there is a background process added to the Cheetah versions, which did not exist in pre-Cheetah versions..

and the apk size went from 1.1MB to the current 2.5MB.. what do you think was/were added to the app, since there is no major functionality added as you also noticed?

anyway, its still a matter of personal choice.. continue to enjoy what Cheetah offer you if you dont mind or care..
[Android Apps and Games] rodaven:
Is there any way to make cloud backup work on this re signed version of QuickPic?

[Android Apps and Games] freakingprime:
If you turn off all cloud related (dropbox, sync,...) there will be no background service. Yes, I checked.
[Android Apps and Games] sindawe:
Well, since they added in a cloud backup service, and an auto upload of pix service, I would expect the size in the apk to go up, would it not?
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
What's the difference between the two attachments?
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
theres no difference in functionalities..

with the resigned version, there will be no auto-update or prompt to update in google play..
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
So in the OP, the first attachment is the original apk and the other called SignAligned is the resigned version??
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
yes.. actually the 2nd attachment was re-signed and zip-aligned (which is just a standard optimisation to the apk), and thus the file name..

Did you check the permissions granted in App info.

Even if storage is enabled, try disabling the permission and re enabling it.

It's not an official build.

Performance is very good and battery life is better than previous.

The clarity of the AMOLED screen on the S5 Mini is quite good.

If you are thinking of the S5 Mini, go for the G800F version (4G version) as the development is quite active for it than the G800H.

Anyways, it's quite hard to find a phone that's less than 5" nowadays (my previous phone was a S4 Mini 4.3" screen, now a S5 Mini 4.5" screen) :(

Question ( not only for QuickPic but for all the gallery apps ) :

When using QuickPic ( or others gallery apps ) the only thing that annoys me is the following :

When i view a photo ( from those from camera for example) , at first it appears a little blurry and then after a few seconds it becomes sharper.

Is there a way/tip/trick to eliminate this and see the photo sharp right away?

Why in my pc running Windows i see the photos sharp immediately but in my phone i have to wait a little bit to see them sharp?

Does it have to do with the cpu,gpu or it is a problem of Android that cannot be fixed?

My phone is Galaxy S6 but i had this problem with other phones too on any android version many years now.
[Android Apps and Games] Mesmurized:
Other pic apps build a quick-access-cache when the app first starts - long before you're viewing anything. Upside: instant view. Downside: additional storage. This applies to thumbnails. for sure. Not sure if thumbnails also speed up viewing. For me, I prefer saving storage.
[Android Apps and Games] Thoadi:
Images looks sharp right away.

Stored on ext SD F2FS file system on S4 mini with LOS14.1
[Android Apps and Games] ipred:
Thanks for the answer but as i said i have this problem with other gallery apps. Only with the stock app i don't have this problem but the stock Samsung gallery over sharpens the photo so i don't prefer it. Which gallery app on playstore builds quick access-cache?

Please, view a photo of trees if you have taken one with your camera. Wait 2-3 seconds and notice the trees. Don't you see any difference in the sharpness? What resolution does your screen an camera have? Galaxy S6 has 2K resolution screen and captures 16mp photos so maybe QuickPic has less job to do on your phone to render the photo correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] :
For those looking for a successor to QuickPic, give a try to LeafPic (beta version):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.horaapps.leafpic

GitHub: https://github.com/HoraApps/LeafPic
[Android Apps and Games] ipred:
LeafPic does indeed render the photos correctly immediately! They appear sharp without having to wait a few seconds like in QuickPic and other apps.

On the other hand, it's in beta version and has some serious bugs. So for now i ll keep using QuickPic even if the slow rendering annoys me a lot!

The good thing is that the developer of LeafPic proves that a photo can be rendered correctly immediately.

If someone in the QuickPic team is reading this, please pay attention to this matter.

I think F-Stop Gallery is a good replacement. Has a lot of features and the performance is good.

[Android Apps and Games] ipred:
Τhanks Thoadi. Probably it has to do with the resolution of the screen or the resolution of the photo or both of them.
[Android Apps and Games] gladson1976:
The version of QuickPic in this thread is the last one before Cheetah took over. This is an old version (classic) and it is definitely NOT going to be updated.

If you need the latest version with updates (and spyware) you can get it in the Play Store from Cheetah.

HI, the Quickpic 4.5.2 from here, worked so well on my Moto G4 Plus with Android Marshmallow. But since I updated to Nougat, the app FC (force closes) everytime.

So I had no choice but to install the official version from the play store, and so far there are no more errors or FC.

But I have the doubt about the spyware that may have been installed. Is there anything proven? Thank you.

Hey, if you want a neat opensource gallery without ads that easily replaces Quickpic, you can try Simple Gallery.

Latest QuickPic Update for Nougat - April/2017...

Does anyone have any status on the latest update for QuickPic for Nougat as of April 2017? I've found, either here or elsewhere, version 5.6.9.1485-mod4 and it runs fine in Nougat, not crashing anymore it seems than any other app (maybe once a week if I'm being to harsh with it). I had a previous version with Marshmallow and when I upgraded to Nougat all heck broke loose until I found this version. I'm curious if anyone has any better version as 5.6.9... At least it has nothing to do with Cheetah so far as I know...

Any other suggestions out there? I'm happy with this version of QuickPic, but I also hear good things about LeafPic and Simple Gallery? Thoughts?
