[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
Well I went to a shop today. Saw the demo model. It has lollipop installed and I couldn't identify the problem in the store lighting as even my phone started working flawlessly in those lighting. I ll try different store. I would appreciate if many g4 users can post here so that we can know that the problem is universal or not
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
That's an interesting clue. What kind of lighting do you have that produces this problem ?

I only see it when i use the flash. So your lighting must be very similar to the flash.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
Well it's normal light of led bulbs and tubelights. Mainly white light. The store has orangy kind of light.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilromy:
Green tilt. haaa, not many people notice it. but yes, i have seen it on indian version phones, sammy device mostly like galaxy 6, s3, s4, but never seen same on epic 4g touch or usa sammy phone from sprint..

I guess its because of display qualities, usa phones are made with better qualities, top notch display panels.. indian versions, are made with cost point of view. lol . i have compare few flagship of sprint phone and same variant released in india, there is always bit difference display, cameras. htc, lg, samsung all do it mate. Even on m8 i noticed thermal coating metal used on htc m8 sprint were different then indian version lol.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Try to reproduce with just tube lights. I couldn't do it.

The flash is LED. I don't have any LED bulbs only LED's i have are emergency lights. I'll try with them later.

I don't believe this. These phones all come out of the same factories in China and are shipped to the rest of the world. I see this borne out when i read about problems people have in different parts of the world. Its not like only in certain countries people complain and in others there are no problems.

Those would be tolerance differences that will appear even within phones in one country.

One BS discussion you do not want to get into with the sammy folks is whether they have a samsung camera or a sony one. Both are equivalent but you will find people on this board that swear one is better than the other.

Same happens with screens as well, they are equivalent for most intents and purposes. A company isn't going to sell the same product with cheaper ie inferior parts in one country over another as it makes no sense.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilromy:
idk whats the real deal. But i have seen it on various phones. One of my friend is dealer in phones and he also said same. I initially thought maybe i got faulty handset, but i seen in many to conclude. I actually seen difference in htc, samsung devices. Since from the day of epic 4g touch sprint, at&t captivate and indian version s1 major have green tilt. It also depends from where you buy the phone, sometime at dealer level, they do sneaky stuffs for more margin. i even heard they add imei handset in to there warranty database of imported phones. I seen few lg g4 were selling in so much cheaper cost in online stores with manufacturer warranty like in oct nov period, So also beware from where you buy phones.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
I don't believe it. Tints in screens are a manfacturer defect, get them replaced. See lots of posts here from people all over the world that have overly tinted screens. Just posted on in the last page. Mine has no tint.

Such a vague statement

Which stores, i bought mine in nov retail not online. As the online shop prices did not have anything interesting. Do you know what the difference in price was between aug & nov from where i bought ? 1.5k (!)

Was determined to buy from a shop even if it was more as if there is any problem i know who to catch. online the seller might be in another part of the country. I got a 510, online would have been older stock. heh, yeah i bet there were a few 505's around going for less. Have seen reports of screens going bad from whom ? americans on sprint who you say have best quality bla bla. Sprint is the only US carrier that issued a recall for units with numbers 505-509. None of the others did it. Why only sprint got bad luck.

The G5 is a really good case in point. american reviewers banging on about 'build quality'. Watch the euro reviewers and the problems are much less. Just wait until the G5 comes out in india and then show me the build quality issues ;)

There are cheaper G4's now on ebay. Those are refurbs. They come with no manufacturer warranty. If you have band 3 where you live you have 4G otherwise not 4G on band 40.

If you get one that had the screen changed with a non oem panel then it wont be the same. That's not what we get out of the box brand new. No way.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilromy:
Well, it doesnt matter you believe it or not. But its the truth, phones are made in grades, its just not phones but various other stuffs sold in europe and usa, stuff sold in india or other Asian countries with different qualities. I been selling phones since the time of droid eris. I seen it by myself and i thought maybe its just on my mind, but yes i confirmed it via few big dealers from which i buy phones, and most said me same, even chip level repair engineer agreed on it. Truth is truth, i am not saying every phone or every manufacturer do it, or entire range have some issues, maybe a specific lot. I wont get anything by saying it for the sake of saying. I never seen difference in iphone, motorola, sony, blackberry devices. Just in samsung, htc. Lg i won't say cause i havent seen much on it except one device lg g3.

Why i said all this, cause op said i seen same green tilt on service centre guy phone.

Probably, we have to wait for months to get replacement even if we have warranties when it comes to pink camera htc issues or samsung intermediate display issues. Consumer right sucks here. You will only feel and believe when you go through the same circumstances.

Refurb phone is another story that's true.

They were available in Ebay india, snapdeal, india online stores lol with manufacturer warranties but amazon, flipkart had it in like 20% more cost. In india, phones are cheaper online then offline.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
I bought from local retailer and verified that the product is genuine from service centre. I don't think this white balance issue is gonna resolve. I want to replace the phone. But, I need solid proof that this is specifically in my phone and not in others. And I don't have that proof! I don't know what to do. I don't have that greenish tint in general but when I watch movies, I can clearly see a green tint in dark scenes and white portions.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilromy:
Its so difficult to prove to them, get side by side compare pics, show it to them, mail to lg india support too with your id or reference number. And hope for best. Most probably, service centre wont accept your phone, cause as per them there is no issues. Still try it out and try to prove them with videos, pics comparing side by side.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
You have a genuine product but am wondering about lighting. Did you try with just tube lights.

if you could not reproduce the problem in the shop earlier then that is a good sign that it is the lighting that is the culprit.

Earlier you said when you tried in the service centre you got the same tint with their device.

Speculating here from what you said.

Can you see the difference when playing the same movie on the store device. Thing is its quite subtle.

How is the light bleed on the screen.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
Yes I have seen that movie on my previous htc desire 816 too. White are white. There was no tint either on background nor on foreground. But here in this g4, there is some. It is not overly visible but easily noticeable
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Spare us the conspiracy theories and post some photos.

Can you reproduce the issue with your camera or not ?

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

And if you play that movie on the G4 in the shop will it show up.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
Yea it certainly will.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilromy:
It was just a legit feedback. Take it or leave it, your choice. It was a while back, wish i was aware of that, one day i need to prove it to someone on xda. Proving online will again create another conspiracy and again we will be in same loop. Thank you very much. [emoji4]
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Some more test shots.

Those four tubelights are on, went into manual and left everything in auto. The ceiling there is white.

Manual, All Auto, Flash Off by One Twelve, on Flickr

Then i tried with the flash, ISO picked by auto was 50 slight greenish tinge here

Manual, All Auto, Flash On, ISO 50 by One Twelve, on Flickr

Then i tried with ISO 400 to see if colours changed, not much difference

Manual, All Auto, Flash On, ISO 400 by One Twelve, on Flickr

Then i switched those four tubelights off and this just with flash in the dark

Manual, Flash On, Total Darkness by One Twelve, on Flickr

Then i decided to use emergency LED light, WB picked by auto was 7K. No green tinge like with the flash.

LED Emergency Light, Manual, All Auto, Flash Off by One Twelve, on Flickr

Dropped WB to 6K, and there is the bluish tinge

Finally, i finished in Auto. That is switched ffrom the manual interface to Auto

LED Emergency Light, Auto, Flash Off by One Twelve, on Flickr
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
They look fine. You know what, the moment you change your wb you can see the green tint in the viewfinder immediately and when you capture it, post processing add more tint in it. Suppose auto wb reads it as 7k. You go to manual wb and move tbe slider even 1mm up or down and the green tint comes doesn't matter what wb you are at currently. And when you finally capture it. Post processing adds the green tint. I am really pissed off with my phone after watching yours sample posts.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
I did not do that with these shots because it does not show a tint in the viewfinder. See it going either blue or yellow, not green.

There is no way to reduce the greenish tint with flash and its not bothered me. Raising or reducing wb with flash makes it worse. Auto wb does a decent job with flash.

Question I can't answer is why you can't reproduce it with your device in the shop.

You know exactly what to do to trigger it on your handset.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
I don't know. It's just did not happen. It happened when I visited service centre. But it happened with the other phone too there. I noitced one thing. When I went to shop yesterday, my phone and the retail phone was behaving in similar manner while changing wb manually. There wasn't any tint on either of the phones there. Maybe that suggests that if I take that retail phone to my home it will also behave similarly as mine.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Another test, this time on a tripod with a single tubelight

Manual interface, auto picked 5000K

Brought it back down to 5000K

Manual, Back to 5000K by One Twelve, on Flickr

Now this one looks different. The final 5000K isn't the same as the first.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
exactly, thats what I am talking about. Although it looks more greenish when viewd on phone. I have done a test too and came up with a thing that it happens fr sure in the while or cold light.

this one is taken on auto white balance;.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/142364440@N03/26846867285/in/dateposted-public/

this one is on manual white balance, both are same. No tint as the light is natural and warm. i.e Sunlight!

But I must say something, the camera is superb, Its excellent. Its OIS works like charm, I take each photo of mine in 1/4th of a second and get perfect shot each and every time. In the last pic, the light was so low there but the camera captues it beautifylly. Look at the details of that visiting card on the table. You can easily say the name written on it. Every photo I take is handheld.

PS: WHITE BALANCE IN BOTH MANUAL AND AUTO IS SAME IN ALL THE PICS.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
The difference other than the light is i did a slight nudge up 200K and down. It was quite hard to nudge it up such a small amount. It did look more greensih on the screen too. It's an easy fix in post.

Earlier it was a 1000K nudge.

I'll try to take the same first set with that slight nudge. As this is what seems to trigger it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
And i could not do it with the scene of the first set posted. 200K nudge, 1000K nudge it behaves correctly. Curious about those lights i snapped them.

The two modular tubes of different colour temperatures by One Twelve, on Flickr

Interesting, they stuck two different temperature tubes in there. Warm and daylight. There is no green coming out of those tubes.

When i tried with CFL i noticed a slight green tint again though not as pronounced as with the 1.2m 36W daylight tubelight. i think that's the culprit.

Then i tried with tungsten

Auto WB picked 2800K

Tungsten, Auto WB @ 2800K by One Twelve, on Flickr

Took it down 100K

Tungsten, Manual WB @ 2700K by One Twelve, on Flickr

Pushed it back up to 2800K

Tungsten, Manual WB @ 2800K by One Twelve, on Flickr

Tungsten looks fine but in still lower light can have a magenta tint. This is known to happen.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
So is it a universal problem?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Universal requires more tests from others. The problem is not many have those tube lights in their home certainly not abroad.

Given that I could reproduce it only with the metre long tube lights. This is prolly why it also happened in the service centre. It does not happen in auto which is why not many have said anything. Had it occurred in auto we could call it a problem. Auto must be doing more correction which is disabled in manual mode. That is by design.

Just fix it in post or use auto WB. Am beginning to think there is no problem with your camera.

Will try with a different tube soon to see if it still happens.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madjester67:
I have a LG G4 and since I had my circuit board replaced (bootloader fault) the white balance on my camera on a night is terrible,In auto I could take photos on a night with very little flare on lighting,now its pointless taking a photo in low light as the problem is that bad
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunkydumpling:
I have the MXQ Pro, and when I plug the controller directly into the box (no otg cable needed) then the controller just flashes and does nothing. Unlike the videos I've seen of people "plug and play", nothing happens and I cannot select icons or anything on the home screen and games don't recognise it. When I plug the controller into my PC it works fine.

Anyone got any solutions?

Thanks!

If I haven't provided enough info, please ask for it!!

Please reply anyone :fingers-crossed:
[P3600 Software Upgrading] rruiz:
Hi all,

I have a Spanish Vodafone P3600. (S300). I've run into problems while updating the radio ROM and several other things.

I've managed to change the SPL, all versions, no problem. Even the hard SPL. The problem arises with almost ALL ROMS and ALL RADIO ROMS. I put the PDA in bootloader mode and I begin the updating process. Well, it stays at 0% all the time, both in PC screen and PDA screen. When I am tired of waiting (more than 30) minutes, then I have to take the battery off. The PDA goes into bootloader and I have to apply the unbrick procedure.

I have only been able to put the FAMAN 3.5 Spanish ROM (WM6) so the PDA works when I unbrick it. However, it does not have RADIO ROM and it shows "no GSM" at boot and obviously I cannot use it as a phone.

Is it broken? Why can't I flash the radio ROM? Somebody with a similar problem?

Thank you all very much in advance.

Best,
[P3600 Software Upgrading] rruiz:
Unsolvable problem

Thanks all for the feedback. Pof was kind enough to address the problem.

I ditched the radio bootloader (not the regular bootloader) and a a result I cannot flash the radio. It seems that the phone has to be sent for repair.

"if it works... don't touch it" I should have paid attention to this :(

Systemless-root for RemixOS

64bit 2.0.205

This comes in two parts.

1. A modified ramdisk.img

2. A su.img file that needs to be copied to /data/su.img

In order to copy the su.img into position, use ALT&F1 to cp it into position or open/mount data.img using cygwin/Linux

Within su.img there are files that can be modified as if they are system files.

If you want to modify another system file; either copy it into /su/vendor or add the path to /su/systemfiles.txt

Within /su/su.d there are a couple of scripts that are run at boot; feel free to remove/modify.

su.d scripts

Scripts described here

Feel free to post what modification you need root to do; and if possible with systemless-root I'll add it to su.img as standard.

Optional

Sticking to the above keeps system.img as OTA-updatable; replacing the ramdisk with the original will let the OTA apply

If you want read-write access to /system and break OTA - you can use the modified initrd.img

Download folder

64bit 2.0.205

32bit already has system root without modifying system - but doesn't have the benefit of altering system files.

If there is a need I will try and create a 32bit version

SU credit goes to Chainfire
[Remix OS for PC] bombaglad:
hi! how do i do this on windows? i can't actually access /data when it's installed in a folder on c: as dualboot
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
Easiest way is via ALT&F1.

1. boot into RemixOS,

2. download su.img

3. press ALT&F1

4. type cp /data/media/0/Download/su.img /data/su.img

5. reboot

When the ramdisk.img is switched you will have root available for apps.
[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:
Many thanks for your efforts. I have access to dozens of Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. I can experiment with your method.
[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:
I can report success on a Lenovo ThinkPad Twist.

First followed your instructions; then manually activated Google Play Services; disabled com.jide.apppolicy; disabled com.jide.filelauncher to use custom launcher.

I'm very impressed. You could make an app to do everything both from Windows side and from Remix side. :laugh:
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
I'll add those as a script in a future update, (custom launcher; gapps).

Not sure on a Windows app/script - how it would work is from scratch (i.e. no data.img).

1. create a small data.img file (50MB)

2. open/extract it via cygwin binaries (ie RMXTools)

3. copy in su.img

4. close data.img

5. resize data.img to desired size

From within Remix without root only access to /data is via ALT&F1 so not really possible any other way (except using a rooted system.img; which kinda defeats the point).

What i do want to do however is have the ramdisk.img auto-switch back to stock if there is an OTA to apply.

Thinking out loud if someone can think of a better procedure:

Default way.

1. OTA downloaded to /sdcard/autoupdater/incremental_remix_x86_*.zip

2. /sdcard/autoupdater/incremental_remix_x86_* copied to /sdcard/autoupdater/otapackage.zip

3. System reboots

4. Initrd.img/x86update locates the otapackage.zip; and applies the OTA

5. Otapackage.zip removed​

With altered ramdisk the above happens except the OTA quietly fails.

Proposed solution

1. Have a copy of ramdisk.img at a known location (within su.img [/su] if need be)

2. On boot check the /sdcard/autoupdater/incremental*.zip files for one that is looking for the SHA1 of the stock ramdisk you have saved

3. Copy ramdisk.img into correct location (combination of find -path ... and cat /proc/cmdline to find it) - keeping a copy of the modified one.

NB This requires the partition you are booting from to be mounted (I'm not sure if the su.img in OP has a script that unmounts all HDD partitions)

4. Copy the located /sdcard/autoupdater/incremental_remix_x86_* to /sdcard/autoupdater/otapackage.zip

5. Reboot

6. Ramdisk.img switch back to the modified one would need to be manually switched again - to get root​
[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:
Well I just downloaded the .205 from Jide.com about 1 hour ago. It's now the official beta download. Systemless root worked again.
[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:
A humble request

I am testing an experimental build for Jide devs. Would you be able to send me a rooted ramdisk.img based on this one?
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
That is identical to the cn one made before (just an updated build date - selinux_version). I'll attach the two here anyway.

Can you post your grub.cfg for that build; I noticed a few more arguments in a grub file in the 402 OTA that I no longer have.

For anyone else reading; the attached are for use with the su.img in the OP
[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:
Thanks again. Here is the grub. cfg:

}

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

Will the original su.img still work?
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
Yea, haven't touched su.img since the original; it'll work fine and the su binary will update fine with SuperSU; so think I'll leave it as is; unless there's a bunch of scripts/tweaks that I think could do with being dumped in there...

[I think it's SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 that the OTA tried to add; there might've been something else too]

Edit. [MENTION=4762414]lollyjay[/MENTION] in regards to your wifi issue - blacklisting b43 and bcma modules should work as a workaround at least until Jide get the auto-modprobe working properly.

[/su/vendor/etc/modules.blacklist]

blacklist evbug
blacklist b43
blacklist bcma
[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:
Again thanks. Since I have the Chinese version the - cn ramdisk.img worked fine.
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
The other one should work (on cn system) with androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64; but I haven't a clue if there is a difference system-wise between the two versions (perhaps just cn version + languages packs = Universal ??)
