[Verizon LG V10] freebird_78:
Huh. I did mine from a regular boot up, but in debug mode. LGUP commanded it to reboot into DL mode for me.
[Verizon LG V10] bantzt:
Download mode on the LG V10 is achieved the same way all other recent LG smartphones have been. Power the device off completely by either the power menu or battery pull. Plug your USB cable into your computer. I didn't have an issue with USB 3.0. Hold Volume up and plug in the phone to the computer. Keep holding Volume up until the phone says download mode. It will do a small loading screen then it will change, this is normal. You can leave download mode by pulling out the battery or by holding the power button for 10-15 seconds.

hi

pls can someone help me? my lg-h901 can't boot into bootloader mode i have tried everything still not working, volume down + power on it reboot to normal, volume down + usb cable plug into pc it saw battery icon and reboot to normal, volume up and down + usb cable plug into pc nothing. i will be very great full if someone tell me what to do thanks in advance
[Verizon LG V10] dragonfire2008:
I think you might be doing it wrong...

Download Mode -> Hold volume up, and plug into usb while STILL holding volume up, release once in download mode

Reset Screen -> Hold volume down + power, then plug into usb whil holding down buttons, release when screens comes on.

Ok, now for my problems. I got my phone into DM, used LGUP to install VS99026A_00_0118.kdz on my VS990. I let it go overnight. Came back to see it failed at about 73%, Error "can't get laf property", ever since then I can't get back into DM again, my LG splash screen will come up, then I get the android guy saying "Erasing...", then it reboots to splash screen again, waits a sec, then turns off. I managed to get into the reset screen with vol dn + pwr + usb method, tried to go into safe mode, now I have same issue getting back to that screen too.

Any help?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] le10017:
Hi all,

I read in one of the s7 forums that once a carrier sim is inserted to an unlocked s7/s7e, that carriers bloatware gets installed. Has anyone out there manage to stop this from happening?

I managed to avoid this one of my other devices. Purchased an unlocked sony z3 compact tablet (LTE) a while back. To avoid any bloatware, I didn't insert y SIM, but did all the necessary updates via wifi. Once all the Sony and Android updates were complete, I inserted my carrier SIM and ZERO bloatware got installed.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] washichi:
looks nice, but can you add some pictures when you applied it to your mi5?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] TheUltrametricSpace:
I don't see the point in it... but here we go. (Remember it's just a Tempered glass layer on top of the phone, no magic, nothing special)

And No, I am not bothered to set up my camera tripod get some proper light on it and then make a nice picture. Sorry.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] Dsteppa:
The package and all can look nice, but in the end what matters most is how good it fits on the phone, which you can only see after it's been applied on the phone.

Thanks for the pic
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] TheUltrametricSpace:
Well, they fit perfect, and the quality of the glass seems good.

I would say you can buy an equal (or worse) for 10$ to 20$ on Amazon or local stores. So for a price of 3$ per piece, there is nothing to complain about.

And as 3$ is so very little, you can just get it, test it and throw it away if you don't like it. No harm done.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] Jerseymase54:
Fitting looks good

The fitting looks good
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] madnav:
Actually the thread is pointless if people can not see clearly how the accessory fits and looks. Nobody cares how the packaging looks, one throws it away once glass is applied properly.

Has anyone had luck setting up an exchange account in gmail and google calendar after installing exchange services APK? Adding the account through the Settings app I was able to get it to successfully sync my email but both calendar and contact sync are erroring. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] garyd9:
Had the same issue. Here's the fix: Go to the application manager, find exchange services, select the option for Permissions, and give it perms for your contacts and calendar.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] djh816:
Beautiful! That did it, thanks! I've normally just been prompted for each permission needed, odd that even re-adding the account didn't trigger it. Anyways, certainly good info to know for the future :) Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] atkinsd:
Thank you SO MUCH! I've been trying to figure this out for weeks. It worked previously on my Galaxy S5 with no additional permissions required. I guess the security is a bit more stringent/granular for the Galaxy S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stoicism:
On a similar topic, I just lost exchange services today. Unable to sync calendar or contacts...the exchange calendar doesn't even show up in the calendar app any longer. Anyone experienced this? I'm a bit lost without my work calendar.

Tried everything under the sun...removing account, reinstalling exchange services, resetting permissions. I even factory reset my phone hoping to fix it. Nothing. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stoicism:
I decided to roll back to an older version of Exchange Services (Version: 6.5-1520254) and everything is back to normal.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
It's comforting to not run an AntiVirus Scan (like AVG) on MIUI.... And also not to monitor the network communications. Not knowing these things is more comforting, when buying a phone from China.

Meizu said something funny, the following quote comes from a Software developer (working at Meizu), after AVG detected suspicious behaviour in a system app:

-Global AntiVirus Software scans for different code than Chinese. We scan our Products with Chinese AntiVirus Software to guarantee that everything is fine. Don't worry.

Don't know about this.

Hello all! I would like to finally present to you the prerooted flashable zip of the latest 5.1.1, which also includes the patch fix for the Messages problem. I have also included into the zip a Torch flashlight boost and Z5 sound enhancements!

To flash this, be sure you have TWRP recovery installed. If you need to know how to have recovery, follow my guide in the link below to get your phone started.

This is the latest build straight from Xperifirm, that includes the patch for Messaging issues. This is not based off of anyone else's customized builds. This is stock being prerooted with some helpful mods.

Credits to:

Can someone try screen mirroring with this build? I'm having problems with the one tigershark made with which causes a forced reboot. Drm key issue? From the comments here it looks like this build started from the other current one he built in the dev section. It's a huge pita to try to debug because after every reboot it takes 20 minutes for apps to rebuild.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
What? No! Mine isn't based off of his and it's the most current build with his not having the new patch that fixes messaging problem. I grabbed mine straight from Xperifirm.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
This is the reason I asked:

"That will be entirely up to [MENTION=6963384]Tigerhoods[/MENTION] to do this, alonng with whatever modifications he wants to make. I just make things easier for people by attaching along some goodies that can make the ROM more special."

Did you try screen mirroring?

Also, I didn't see the FM app in your build.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
That quote was in reference to a user asking if I'm having any plans to deodex. Much earlier when 5.1.1 was released, Tigerhoods said that he will make a deodexed ROM once I made a prerooted flashable zip of 5.1.1 once the FTF is released. This is what this entire thread is. The build is basically straight stock from the factory with everything in working order and I added a few enhancements to my liking as listed.

I have tried screen mirroring and I did not experience any forced reboots. I have a Samsung LED TV that does screen mirroring, but apparently that doesn't work with Lollipop anymore because it doesn't do DHCP connectivity or whatever. It used to work on KitKat.

As previously said before, if the factory image doesn't include it, then you'll need to request [MENTION=4627864]zachariahpope[/MENTION] for one that is compatible with 5.1.1.

I believe android pay won't work on this ROM as well as all other rooted / customized ROM flashed devices.

So here's my question: if I really need to use the feature Android pay offer(Tap and Pay), what workaround/App. will be my options?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
Android Pay strictly works for nonrooted devices. There was an article written interviewing a Google developer and he explained his reasons why, which seems pretty understandable since this is people's money involved.

On the other hand, there's also Snapchat. For some reason, I can never log into it anymore and I read it's something about being rooted. My brother's HTC One M8 is custom ROM and rooted, and can still use Snapchat. So what gives?

[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
I'm getting nearly 5 hours of screen on time on my phone without stamina mode. I can get up to 7 or possibly 8 hours of screen on time with stamina mode for sure.

All this achievable with a certain mod though...

I am seeing pretty close result as Giga, 8 hours battery life before it reached 15% with Stamina mode on.

Bluetooth on when I'm driving, and I leave NFC on all the time (If that makes any difference)

I kind of want to have something like Z3 for more than 1 day battery life (my sister has it, 2 day battery life really makes different on longer trip)
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-powersaving-mod-xperia-t3323799

This is the best mod ever that helps me achieve a near two-day battery life on the Z3v (theoretically ending my day at 50% and still have left over for the next day). If I ever had the Z3 to get from the start, I think the whole 2 day battery life would have been ideally the best phone forever.
