[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeXii:
The whole point of auto brightness is just that "auto" the slider is disabled because the OS adjusts the brightness based on the light in the enviroinment.

If you are in a dark room it will dim, outside it will go bright. If you move the slider the device assumes you then want to use manual brightness and disables the auto brightness and then adjusts the brightness of the screen based on where the slider is positioned.

This is the way Samsung devices work. (I have had several over the years and currently have a Note 4, a Tab S 8.4, and this Tab S2)

How are you expecting the slider to function when auto brightness enabled?

The slider is suppose to be for manual brightness.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
The auto brightness slider still allows for manual adjustment on 5.0.2.

-5 to +5 to set the level to your liking whilst still maintaining auto brightness mode.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankvl:
Exactly, any way I could have this with 5.1.1? Maybe some xposed module?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wirelesskebab:
I think I recall there being some form of auto brightness audjustment fix in the downloadable modules. I can't link you as I don't have it installed currently.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dargon91:
Hi everyone I am the biggest fool in the world. Today I installed one app thinking that it is a game. Unfortunatelying it turned out it is a virus which installs milo ons of apps and spams with adds no matter what I am doing with my phone. I have tried to factory reset my phone but it is still there, then tried to wipe cash and wipe all user data from the recovery but it is still here.. I've tried to use my phone without Google account but the virus is there. It is in my system and I don't know what to do. Anti virus software can't find it and I don't know what to do.

My phone is note 2 it runs 4.4.2 kit kat stock Rom without root access. Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADM!RAL:
Reinstall stock using odin and download mode

And btw that virus have already rooted your phone without your permission and injected itself into your system directory, so no matter what you do with your current rom through wiping will be useless!

Good luck!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewKode:
Inatall TWRP and wipe everything with rm-rf ON. Flash Stock or any other ROM after, it should be gone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dargon91:
Hi again, i decided to root my phone and install custom rom. I've chosen rom "one and only V3" i've rooted my phone and wiped everything cache, system,data,preload,dalvik cache,factory reset, partition. Then i installed the rom, everything was fine but phone stucks on bootscreen at the Samsung logo and cannot start, i've done all the procedure again but nothing changes. Then downloaded other ROM but now i can't connect my phone to my computer when i plug the cable and click on Mounts and storage then on mount USB storage, nothing happens i can't see my phone and i can't upload another rom.. Thanks in advance.

P.S. The author of the ROM has given this installation information:

Installation Instructions for v1.0 & v3.0:

USE TWRP RECOVERY

First Nandroid your current ROM.

1. Download ROM

2. Verify MD5

3. Place the ROM in your internal/external sd card

4. Reboot to Recovery

5. Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, data, preload if applicable,

6. Flash the ROM

7. Reboot and Setup Device.

Note: With root file manager, go to /data/media/0 and delete folders that begin with the name "vrtheme

I am using CWM recovery v6 and i don't know what "First Nandroid your current ROM." and "2. Verify MD5 " means..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mam3bs:
1- First Nandroid your current ROM = make a backup of your rom that you are using

2- Verify MD5 = its a unique number and litter for Verify that you are use the same file that the maker uploaded

Hi guys , thread opened thanks to [MENTION=3125148]KennyG123[/MENTION] , now that the G5 is out and available for sale feel free to share your experience in this discussion thread.

I will update it later with infos , reviews , battery tests..etc.

Enjoy :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CorruptProfile:
This is my first impression of the G5 and I'm sure once the stock and custom roms start rolling out I will have a much better experience with my phone. I picked up my new LG G5 a hour ago from my local Sprint retailer and I have already run into a few problems that kind of bother me about the phone. I switched from my Nexus 6 to this phone and I would have to say I do enjoy the feel of the phone and the fact of it being smaller and easier to hold. This is the only good thing I have really noticed about the phone so far though. The volume rocker on the left side of the phone seems very strange and would be much more ergonomic with it remaining on the back or on the right side to be easily accessible with the thumb. The G5 does not have an app drawer with the current software even though there were leaks saying that they were actually going to end up adding the app drawer for this phone. The software seems as if it went for a more Apple style design with a more vivid color scheme. I ended up looking through some of the apps and there are advertisements in the voicemail app which just seems wrong. I have already ran into a bug which should be expected with any new release of a phone of course and this bug happens when I double tap on a notification on the lock screen it locks the screen instead of opening the application which I really hope wasn't the intended purpose. So far the phone isn't as great as I expected it to be.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
[MENTION=5394235]CorruptProfile[/MENTION] Thank you very much sir for this first well detailed feedback.

How about other things like the camera , performance ( if you tried any intensive game ) ? Is it buttery smooth or LG 5.0 UX suffer from lags ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Have you checked right? T-Mobile users said that the app drawer is there, like seen in the GUI Official Video (not a leek)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
It is there if you use easy mode on your launcher as far as i know.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Nope, there is a third option shown in the UX 5.0 video and confirmed by T-Mobile users

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CorruptProfile:
I only really play Clash of Clans as far as game intensive on my phone and it ran very smoothly for the little bit that I was on it. The camera is far superior to any phone I have had in the past and the quality is great. The option for the regular launcher with an app drawer does not exist on my device which is no problem since I do not like the launcher in general and the Google Now Launcher is far superior to LG's. The biggest problem I have started to see with the device now is the fact the battery is weak as can be. I'm not sure if there isn't enough data collected yet to give an accurate estimate on how long the battery will last. I took the first screenshot of the battery usage before I used any high usage applications and it already was showing that my phone would last an hour and 47 minutes when it was at 41%. I would add screenshots to this but, I don't have over 10 posts yet so that isn't possible so I sent them to [MENTION=6240046]Soufiansky[/MENTION] so he can post them instead.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:

How's the phone size?

I'd be coming from the Nexus 6 which is like a phablet, so I want to know how it feels in the hand?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
It is 5.3" , way smaller than the huge Nexus 6.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mew:
I was going to get the S7 Edge but it's not rootable, so it is a huge deterrent for me
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
You can wait for the M10 , and for root it will come one day , patience ;)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mew:
The M10 is waayyyyy too small for me ;/
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CorruptProfile:
I came from the Nexus 6 as well and honestly I like the size of the G5 it is smaller but not too small in the hand where it feels like you are holding nothing.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Note 5 ? Nexus 6P ? We're going in an off topic here...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
What about the module thing ? I saw a lot of issues about it these days
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CorruptProfile:
I don't own a module and I don't really see the purpose of owning one to be completely honest. It's basically just buying add-ons if you prefer having them or not. I enjoy having the naked look of a sleek looking phone without having a bunch of stuff all over it. It really comes down to the person if they want the parts or not and personally I don't the parts won't make the phone any worse and if the modules really just fail then it won't have any overall effect on the performance of the phone itself.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
No i was talking about the stock battery module , you haven't faced any issue ? Because some people were reporting bad screen colors reproduction next to the module , others said it started taking off....etc.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
After 6 months it degrades for about 10%, after a year for 15-20%, not really serious but noticable, very noticable in battery usage during the day
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick216ohio:
Yeah I do notice that during day usage. What phone did you end up getting?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
I sold the S6 3 weeks ago, then bought a Z5 didnt like it, now i bought the A5 2016, i know its a midrange i bought it because of its battery life and i know i will sell it later, i think it will be my last android phone really...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick216ohio:
Oh no don't go to the dark side of apple lol.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Why not, i like both worlds ;)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] The-Last-Hylian:
I'm currently a Huawei P9 user (love it, seriously love it!) and was almost 100% certain that I'd go for a P10 Plus when they became available but when I saw the LG G6 at the MWC I fell in love with it.

I do love my P9 camera and am hoping that I'll love the G6 camera just as much. I do like to take start photos as I have an interest in astrophotography. I think the G6 with it's f1.8 lens should be better than my P9 but as a comparison has anyone here taken any astrophotography type shots with their G5 I can reference? (that also has an f1.8 lens right?)

Thanks

T-L-H
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick216ohio:
I have the G5, yet won't buy G6. I am sorry but look at the specs compared to G5, not much of an upgrade. I will be waiting for the next G7 or v30 or whatever it's called.

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

Not trying to hate bro, but idk. I wish apple was more open sourced.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Yes i understand mate, will think about it
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] The-Last-Hylian:
People seem really angry about the SD821 SoC being on the device, yes I think it would have been better to have a newer SoC on the handset but the 821 is still a decent runner and is more than futureproof. Spec wise I still see the G6 as being a decent 'incremental' upgrade against the G5.

I like the idea of staying with Huawei and going for the P10 Plus but I do like the general look and idea behind the G6 and do feel drawn to it, plus I would like a shot at that wide angle lens! I take a lot of night shots so the f/1.8 aperture is great for me (I know the P10 Plus has it also).

I will miss the excellent Bokeh on the Huawei though and the monochrome sensor! (my only two grips about not going for the P10 Plus)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Note that G6 camera sensors are really old, and worse in comparison with the G5 sensors, also the battery, 3300mAh for a 5.7 display it seems too low imho, and the battery is not removable.

821 is future-proof like the 820, well, they are almost the same soc.

So, imho, G6 is not a real upgrade compared to G5 as it has worse camera, same memory, same ram, almost same soc, not removable battery.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dam900:
Not sure if right Thread so just in case...

I am on Fulmics Rom. Runs nice so far. I just love this phone..it is sad how bad it is known and accepted by the people. But now I experienced that my knock on is not working anymore. I can't post on Fulmics thread directly so there might be a chance that some of you guys have a suggestion? I also use nova prime, but nother if using nova or home launcher: knock on is without response. Knock off only works on nova.

Thanks a lot and regards
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Did you tried cleaning cache ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dam900:
Yes already did that. Cache and Dalvik.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Dirty flash the ROM, if it doesnt work again then do a clean install and see.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mew:
I want something with a Snapdragon 820, I want something that will last me a while, I hope the Note 6 rumor is real even though I highly doubt it is
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CorruptProfile:
Nope I have not had a single problem like this my phone is working completely fine. The only problem the stock battery module had is it feels as if you are almost about to break the battery off it goes on easily it just seems like it should have a release on it so the battery didn't have to be ripped off.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vansmack:
The third option for "Home and App Drawer" is definitely not in my T-Mobile version.

I have Home (5.0 UI), Easy Home and Google Now (self installed).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Exactly, i don't think it has the app drawer really.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vansmack:
Russell Holly over at AC said there was an update coming, but no timeline.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] turbodroid:
Also a t-mobile user here and no app drawer. Google launcher brings it back, but then you lose double tap to lock screen. That's a deal breaker for me.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Is the bootloader unlocked on Sprint?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
no it's locked on all variants including international
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
But unlocked on tmobile?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kjungleboy:
The 3rd option does not appear on the Sprint LG G5 either. Kinda wishing I should have waited a bit for this phone now.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattemer:
This is not a bug, haven't found a way to easily change it yet, but tap it once then slide up, basically the same as the Galaxy. I'm not a fan.

Verizon version does not have the advertised home screen yet either.

Liking the phone so far!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Easn:
So I have an LG G5 on Verizon (I'll take any questions anyone has about this variant). My question is regarding the camera. My front camera is buggy and constantly tries to adjust for light and dims itself. On my other friend's G5 his main rear camera (not the wide angle one) isn't even working (tried safe mode and clearing cache for the camera still yielded nothing). Let me know what you guys think, kinda odd we both have camera problems on Verizon. I can post pictures for anyone to see, it is kinda a disappointment to see these inconsistencies. I would still recommend the phone if you are looking for a phone that has the potential to evolve over time and stay relevant if the modules thing is a success (I'd love to see battery cases or a front facing speaker module myself).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PearsonDKA:
Anyone switch from a Note 5 or 6p? My Note 5 recently bit the dust and switched to a 6p today but currently have a G5 reservation for when it comes out next Friday. There's an ongoing bundle where it comes with the Camera Module for free when you reserve it and can return the 6p in order to get it if I like.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
That's quite strange, it's present in the official video and i thought that some users saw it (maybe i remember wrong).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
It's unlockable.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
T-Mobile version seems to have an unlockable bootloader because using both commands to unlock bootloader (older one and new one) it says that bootloader is unlocked.

BUT some users in T-mobile section tried to both boot and flash a twrp and both command didn't work, in the command prompt it gives error in writing the image, this is the problem and in my opinion there are two possibilites both reported by users (not me) in the T-Mobile TWRP thread:

1) According to wolfgart this G5 could have a custom unlocked bootloader like the meizu's one

2) According to other 2-3 users the commands didn't work because there is not a "recovery" partition, but if i'm not wrong this nont explain why even the boot command doesn't work.

In conclusion G5 has a useless unlocked bootloader
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Huh? What's unlockable?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
The bootloader.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
On Sprint?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
No T-mobile
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
For those who wants the app drawer , you can download LG Home 4.0 from LG store , it is like the launcher used on the V10 or G4 and it has the app drawer.

This is confirmed by LG.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PROcede:
Anyone else have a overly sensitive (overall cheap feeling) power button. Just recently today it stopped being super responsive and like lags when I press it. Sometimes I'll have to even press it multiple times for it to just wake up. The phone has never been dropped and has been in a case since unboxing (Friday). Beginning to think the lower button is sticking or faulty button.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Are you sure it was not like that the first time you got it ? If so i recommend you to give it back to LG and get a new one
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] InflatedTitan:
Yes this is officially out on the lg website. It is lg is 4.0, but has been updated and tweaked. It feels a lot like the 5.0 but with the addition of the app drawer. Not bad but I'm kinda liking the UX 5.0 [emoji4]

LG G5 has LED notification or not? Please let me know.

Thanks.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Yeah of course it has.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CorruptProfile:
I have had no problems with my power button what so ever. It is still working just the same as it has since I got it on the release day. If the button isn't working notify LG it might just be your phone that is having a problem and they should be able to help you out.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hanfeitzu02:
Picked up a g5 from Verizon two days ago. Had mixed feelings about it in general.

First night I'm laying in bed catching up with walking get dead on my AMC app, but every time I moved the slightest bit the (wired) headphones would disconnect. I tried three different pairs. The jack just won't hold them in. Even a slight rotation will disconnect them. So I go to Verizon, explain my problem, and they grab a new one. Stuck some headphones in and... same issue. Associate was dumbfounded. We pulled out an s7 and tried the headphones in it. Perfect. So I left the store with an s7 instead. Battery life on the g5 was suspect anyhow.

Did my store get a bad batch? Does nobody use wired headphones anymore so nobody has noticed? Go try it.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] panamaniac:
Man, I hope it's just you/your store. I've had ongoing issues with my G3's headphone jack that are basically as you describe. We'll see if mine has the same issue when it arrives.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
So you have the S7 now instead of the G5 ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] magnus0322:
I have a T-Mobile G5 and I just checked. 3 different pairs of wired headphones. All a perfect snug fit. I can even lift the phone by the earphone cables (yes I was careful the phone would land on a soft surface just in case)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hanfeitzu02:
Yes. I was having a tough time deciding anyhow. Wanted the waterproofing on the s7, as i do a lot of backpacking.. (my g5 also had a noticable gap at the bottom, even with a case on, that worried me. The headphone issue made the choice for me.

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 PM ----------

Yeah there's no way either g5 I tried would have held the phone by the cord.

Good news for the rest of you guys maybe though...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] InflatedTitan:
Sometimes when browsing chrome my phone will open a new tab with it saying its a virus and I have 3 minute to blah blah blah. But it states that I have a nexus 6p....

Now this may be crazy I don't know. But maybe poking around with 6p stuff can help us figure out the boot loader or kernel checker situation on our G5s?

This page always popped up on me on every phone I've had.. And its always nailed the type of phone it really was. Just kicking around some stuff.

Is there anything similar internally with the 6p? Securities? The way LG checks kernel before booting might be similar to the way the 6p checks to see if you unlock it and blows the hardware fuse?

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PROcede:
To update this. I went to Best Buy to return my G5 and they were out of titanium so i opted for silver. Pulled the phone out of the box in the store to test the new ones power button which worked fine but in examining both the silver unit and my previous defective titanium i noticed varying amounts of space between the modular part. I had high hopes for the G5 but i really think there are some bad batches of units out there and i happened to get one G5 with a defective power button and a new silver G5 had a worrying amount of space between the module area compared to my previous titanium unit. Also i wasn't really pleased with how the phones corners and earphone jack seem to have silver paint already flaking off in certain parts. My titanium unit also had the light bleeding in the dark or under black images in the corners like many others reported.

In the end i just returned the device and picked up a Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE. I've always been a Samsung hater so we will see how this works out for me. I wanted to give the G5 a 3rd try but they didn't have anymore in any of my local stores so i was going to be stuck waiting anyways.

PS: Might have a brand new battery pack bundle ( extra battery, external battery charger, and micro-usb to USB C adapter) for sale for the G5 if Best Buy doesn't call me asking for its return.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
That's weird because i never saw this sort of issue in other forums , that's sad the G5 is really great.

Anyway enjoy your S7 edge , it's a beast !
