[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe0514:
This issue has been bothering me for such a long time. It started since I updated my G2 to android 5.0.1 lollipop, and I couldn't connect my phone to PC for a long time. File transfer has been so difficult as I have to upload pics and files to Google Drive then DL from computer. What's more, I don't even want to swipe my phone or reset to factory because the backup process would be so difficult without a computer! Spent lots of time searching for fix online but never found one, and I kind of gave up long ago.

Yesterday this issue popped backed into my head and I tried to look for answers online again. After hours of searching still can't find useful tips. Trust me, I've tried all the tips I found online, including change USB ports, change USB cable, use different computer, uninstall/reinstall USB drivers on computer, enable developer option's on phone, enable USB debugging, etc. Non has worked, just as before. I know this issue should be the problem of the phone instead of the computer, and luckily I crossed over a thread of a people with MIUI having somewhat similar problem, and he solved it by installing a MIUI USB app. So I searched for similar apps, and BINGO! my problem solved! So here's my solution:

I went to Google Play and search for "LG USB", and installed the first app says "USB Driver for Android":

I guess the key word is "USB driver", and other similar apps should work too.

The App is very simple. Just tap on the MTP button:

And the long lost USB connection options reappears!!!

My phone is in Chinese but I think it's simple to find the corresponding app and options in English system. I think what the APP does is simply take you to the USB connection options page, which is hidden somewhere in your phone but can't be found.

I guess the problem is that when updated to Lollipop, some phones got this bug that the USB connection type selection menu somehow doesn't show up when connected to PC. While I was looking for solution online, I found that not only G2 users, but people with G3 and even non-LG phones got the same problem. For LG, I don't know what they're thinking as they even took away the "USB PC connection" option menu (as the last picture) in "Settings", making it impossible for users to manually choose connection type when this bug occurs. (I found that other brands' phones kept this option in settings->storage)

Any way, just happy to solve a problem bothered me for over a year and want to share my solution. Wish this post will help people who got the same problem as I did.

PS. It says I can't post links, so I can't post the screen shots' full links. But I guess this solution is not hard to understand even without pics.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katoss99:
Thanks for the solution but in my case - after installation - menu USB PC connection appears but unfortunately disappears in a sec.

Is like someone push the back button .

Probably there is a software who creates the problem but i do not know how to find it in order to close it or uninstall it.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] partyboynx2:
Just bought an AT&T Note 4 today, I was informed it had 4.4.4, but it instead had 5.1.1, and root had been a big part of all 3 previous Note phones I've owned, so I was looking for a way to do so, seems like nothing's been accomplished yet, until I stumbled upon this. Will this work on 5.1.1 even with that locked bootloader?

http://androidromupdate.com/att-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910a-stock-firmware/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] giga8547:
Im bot aure exactly what you are asking but from what i gather you are either wondering about downgrade or root. Either way it is not possible once the phone is on 5.1.1 you are stuck with only one way to go and thats up when and if an update comes. As for root its looking highly impossible to get our bootloader unlocked as at&t never released a developer edition of our phone which makes a reliable root impossible. I would recomend if you have the cash yo do so sell the at&t note 4 and get a tmobile note 4 which is unlocked and rootable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] partyboynx2:
Was the 4.4 bootloader unlocked? It's not possible to restore 4.4 in download mode with Odin or anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] giga8547:
No it is not possible odin will fail because the 5.1.1 bootloader is secure and detects all attempts to overwrite or change it and stops the process. So basically you can not touch the bootloader downgrade or root or modify the system or kernel in any way unless the bootloader is hacked or unlocked period. Sorry

P.s. if it would have been that simple (boy do i wish it was) you would find a thread on here about downgrading to 4.x.x from 5.1.1 and not so many threads about root waiting room and things like that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ejectedmatrix:
Well can't downgrade from lollipop back to kitkat, but look at my threads, and if it helps, just add a little thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] orazu:
Hello,

I've been trying tirelessly to root my phone so that I can modify it with custom roms. Now I'll admit, initially I didn't do as much research as I should have. I tried rooting my device as you would a normal One X (which obviously failed) and tried an assortment of other apps and software (towel root, king root, Hasoon's All in one toolkit, etc.) to no avail. Eventually I learned of the xpwn method. And after much searching on this forum and other sites, across the board, this seems to be the way to go. However following the commands had absolutely no effect on my phone. More research. My problem was that although my computer could recognize adb devices, it could not recognize my device while in fastboot. Because I'm running Windows 10 and both my USB ports are 3.0, no matter what drivers I installed, it would not recognize my phone. Upon learning this, I tried moving to my laptop which has windows 7 installed. Lo and behold, the hard disk crashes upon booting. And any other computers I have access to with windows 7 (At the job, school library) I don't have administrative privileges to tamper with. A friend let me borrow her laptop that has windows 8.1 installed on it. Reading up on it, I know it has a similar problem with recognizing devices while in fastboot. But after more digging, I was able to get it too see my device (yayy!!). So now I finally have a laptop with the proper drivers installed, a USB 2.0 port, and the ability to recognize my phone in fastboot mode. I downloaded and ran a .bat file (several actually) that followed the xpwn method (I wanted a one click method so I couldn't possibly mess anything up). However, anytime it attempts to push files to "data/local/tmp/" blahblahblah, it fails to copy because "Permission Denied." I tried to manually type in the commands and I am met with the same error!! And I can't locate this directory either to see if it's set to read only. ...My laptop only has one account which has administrative privileges. What gives!?!?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I got my Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon from Aliexpress and it came with unofficial ROM (7.17.9.0 LHOCNCL).

Which way is the best to upgrade my phone to official Xiaomi stable global ROM to avoid any problems?

ADB+MiFlash?

Any suggestion or link with guide?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Luiggi79:
Definitivaly try the method ADB+Mi flash.Take a look here:http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html

and here at my post from other thread:http://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/help/hard-bricked-redmi-note-3-sd-t3360457

Feel free to ask me any question.Read carefully the entire procedure and dont make any mistake ,respect steps order and dont skip nothing.The result could be a bricked device,if you dont read carefull the procedure
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
Thank you on support and info.

I will try this later today, I found this guide yesterday but wanted to ask for every additional info, just in case.

I will check is bootloader unlocked, if it is unlocked(by seller) should I stay on this custom/vendom ROM?

Btw, I have problems with fingerprint, it does not work when phone 'sleep' for about minute or longer, when I unlock and then lock the phone, then it works 10 times, after that it again does not detect finger.

Can that be ROM problem?

Sometimes phone laggs a bit, specially while typing on facebook messenger.

Phone passed Antutu Officer, so it is genuine.

If I can trust that test, lol :)

Antutu Benchmark - 77k score.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Luiggi79:
Sellers rom could have some malware/crappys injected.You must change immediate rom,with official one to benefit regularly upcoming updates.This method working great for locked bootloader,mine is locked,and i have flashed my phone according to this method.I suggest you to not unlock bootloader,you dont nedd that crappy app twrp and so on.Most devices were bricked after unlocking bootloader and flashing she** t/not fully tested roms oder other things.Finnaly :flash official rom according to method ADB+Mi Flash.If you have any difficulty feel free to ask me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
Well, I will try with this method as soon as I can, probably later today.

I will post what happend :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
I successfully upgraded to latest Global ROM with method above.

But, they removed FONT option from settings which is important to me.

Which ROM is the latest with FONT option in settings?

and where I can get it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Luiggi79:
I am glad for you!Now the problem with fingerprint is gone?I believe that your phone is genuine,because 77k antutu score is the correct one.Related to the latest rom with font settings,i dont know wich was.I recommend you to proceed with caution when you change the rom.This phone is sensitive to the changes,and he have many security things implemented,due in fact to prevent user to make changes.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
For now fingerprint is ok, I will need some time to test it fully.

I already give up downgrading beacause of font.

Stock is ok.

Thank you on support.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
On latest ROM we can't change app permissions anymore?

Every permission is grayed and I can't change it, for any app.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Luiggi79:
Firstly you must activate permisisons manager from security;tap security then permissions manager,and then you have a little wheel on the upper right side of screen;tap on that wheel and then activate permissioins manager.You will have full permissions on the app security settings.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
On previous ROM it eas activated so I didn't know for that option lol.

Thanks, great!

I just found a problem.

High battery use by Android System 20% and Android 12%

Is there any fix for this?

On previous unofficial ROM from Vnedor, both were bellow 10%.

I have read some topis but I can't find a solution.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bryfly:
Just checked mine, Andriod sys 18% and Andriod 12%...... On my redmi note 2, both are running at 3%, so does seem a bit high.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
Maybe I have to wait one or two full charges to settle?

This is my first charge, I got 2h on screen time and 75% battery left, which is not bad,

but would be great to put both under 10% of usage.

I hope somebody found a fix.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
Screenshot of usage..

Even system launcher are using battery too much, since I'm using Nova launcher primary.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] sunvv:
I had battery drain issue as well. Battery usage usually ranges from 30% to 50% overnight (roughly 8 hours during night), which I considered exceptionally high.

My solution is to turn off auto sync function from setting-sync, but the con is that you have to sync apps/accounts manually.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
Thanks on advice, but..

Sync is off.

Xiaomi Europe support said 'turn off auto-update apps.'
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Luiggi79:
Turn off:

1.GPS

2.Bluetouth

3.VOLTE

5.screen brightnes=50%

6..don't turn off autoupdate apps

7.localization services

8.during night you can activate sleep profile

9.after 2-4 charge cycles you will see a better battery life
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
Everything is like that except Volte and Sleep profile.

And after 2 charging cycles battery is pretty ok, 50% takes 4h+ on screen time. (Wifi,messenger,instagram,viber and bluetooth music streaming 2h+)

Thank you on support.

This sounds stupid but is it possible to hook up an OEM iPhone LCD screen http://cnn.cn/shop/apple-iphone-complete-digitizer-p-1863.html to a WinMo device? WinMo6 supports 480x320 correct?

Kind of like hooking up an external monitor to a laptop. Are the connectors the same? Just thought I'd ask. That would be sweet to hook up a iPhone screen to say a Touch board. Then duct tape them together. :D. Better yet dual screens! Haha.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gogol:
nice idea ! :D :D :D :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fzzyrn:
cool idea, but you would need to write yourself a driver for the screen, unless WM6 is pornographically plug-n-play.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrismrulz:
i've just replaced the lcd screen on my hx4700. they are not the same.

even between differen't ipaqs they are all different screen connectors.

fairly sure with the multitouch hardware it wouldn't be compatible without someone with alot of knowledge of this stuff to create something to make it work.

sorry to be a downer.

what would be a really cool idea though is if someone put iphone-on-ppc apps on their x50/x50v, then painted black over the buttons and labels (the DELL, A X I M, X50/X50V bits),

then added a little extension to the top of it to continue outer the silver edge around the whole screen.

then just add a compact flash card that you insert a sim card and it adds phone capabilities to it (i have such a card),

and you'd practically then have an unlocked iphone with a 3.7" vga screen and graphics accelerator, that is capable of running windows mobile aswell (if you want to).

i.e.

(note - my mspaint skills suck. it probably wouldn't look as bad in real life.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LGSilva:
Probably you would need the controller for the screen (chip) and other stuff... nice idea but not possible.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blindmanpb:
Chrome doesn't give you an option, and I'm not sure what the easiest workaround would be.

But I recently switched from Chrome to Samsung's internet app. The updated version of it gives you ad blocking support AND it lets you choose your default download location.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emtee_skull:
If you don't want to change browsers you could use Tasker App to auto move the files to the external sd card location later.

Or you could try using/setting ES File Explorer as default download manager and telling chrome to us it. Then set the download path in ES File Explorer.

Also one could switch to Firefox:

Hi friends. I got the phone today. I unlocked the boot loader, installed TWRP and flashed Cyanogenmod 13 snapshot. No problems with all this.

When I try to install a Gapps package, all I get when I boot it up is the message "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped". If I press OK, the message comes back within half a second. I tried the stock, micro, mini and pico package from Open Gapps all with the same result. The Pure Nexus Dynamic Gapps does the same thing.

I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Help me please :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
what you're doing wrong is flashing CM..

I kid really, after flashing the gapps, and you get that error, go back and wipe data. OR.. try it this way. before you flash cm, but after downloading the ROM and gapps, wipe system and data. you will not be able to boot after this until you flash your ROM, that's because you wiped your ROM off your phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtwdk:
I flashed both CM and gapps at the same time and it worked.

What should I use instead of CM then? I want something that looks like stock but has a bunch of options to tweak the settings. I like battery time :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
I'm using pure nexus ROM, what you use is purely choice. but I find that I'm much happier with pure nexus than with cm.
