I'm a fairly simple person, color of my screen? awesome to me, speaker and headphones volume?, more than I would ever ask for, especially the phone speaker, darn it, it's freaking loud, I don't see no bloat ware, I pretty much use em all, and as for battery, my measurements of longevity of its charge is determine by a very simple method, does it last from morning til night for my usage? Heck, yes it does.

Remember, I used to a rooting method when it was so damn hard to get it done, compare to now, I would say the process of rooting has gone to way beyond simple. Its just that as of late, my reason of rooting is no longer a necessity, but rather for just fulfilling the wants of my geeky self.

Thanks for your thoughts.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
All root means is admin, plain & simple. Do you own your hardware or not. Can you control it.

That reason never goes away. You should be able to retain the option to root regardless of whether you exercise it or not.

In the PC world i've never known a situation where if you bought the hardware that you could not administer it.

In the phone world they have this weird thing where to keep you safe you must be prevented from being admin. You are considered a threat instead of owner. People have to resort to exploits to gain ownership, its so strange. Even stranger is more and more people do not want the rights being owner confers or could care less :(
[G4 General] EPa:
In the (smart)phone world don't forget we are talking mainly about Apple and Google. It's like with smoking: it's not really about keeping you safe (that's what they tell you), it's about what it always is: money. Money comes from the stores. Jailbreaking and rooting means no income from apps, no income from ads = no stores = no money.
[G4 General] kabirjedi:
Why not root?

This full useless topic..
[G4 General] One Twelve:
What complicates the picture further is tying phones to payment.

It means further lock down. Because even more security is necessary now.

I don't like this idea. What's wrong with plastic ? nothing, still works as well as it did.

Google & Apple would like to get a cut of each transaction.

At least give us the option then. Don't enforce it for everybody.

You want to do payment, you don't get to root.

You dont care for payment then go ahead and root, usual disclaimers apply.

The security thing has got a boost recently, because there was this group called 'hacking team' that sold their services to govts worldwide. They had exploits that for a fee could root and therefore spy on any android (or ios) phone out there. Well in an ironic twist, hacking team got hacked last summer and their exploits are out in the wild now. Androids older than L & M are vulnerable.

What happens next ? google says mandatory encryption for all and root only with bootloader unlock on their next OS ie MM.

Google is fighting this perception that android is not secure or rather not as secure as iOs.
[G4 General] bloodsuckingcomputer:
Honestly, you really do not help here, not one bit, as I stated earlier, it was still an honest question. Its just for myself I see the less need of rooting now. The thing is, you may possess the knowledge that I don't, and therefore here I am asking for opinions.

So, instead of acting like a smart ass, why don't you start with something constructive and help. Or just simply ignore this thread. Is that so hard to do?

I'm a control freak, I am, or at least, maybe I used to.. Lol

But again, I get pretty much everything I ever ask for.

And on a side note, I have never spent a single cent on any app. I don't know if this is even a right thing to tell you guys here.

I do quite a bit of exploring and would like to be able to share the locations - with friends - using the coordinates from my Geotagged pictures. Basically I dump all my pictures into an app, it allows me to share those pictures with friends and then they can find find the locations with some kind of augmentative compass.

Does such an app exist?

My billing cycle is on the 10th of every month, I restored my phone recently and my data was reset then too. My data now says I have used 1.51GiB but my actual is 2.14GiB

Its not a huge difference but since I come very close to my allowed 5GiB a month so I like to be able to monitor it closely.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you reset your phone, your phone wont show you the actual data usage. but your provider will, via app or their site. dont pay attention to what the phone will show you, pay attention to what your provider shows you.

I flashed my AT&T Tilt with HTC ROM. I reinstalled everything. Something wrong with Skype 2.2, I can sign in and make calls. However, after 30 seconds of conversation of each call, call discounted.

I have no problem when using Wifi connection. I got problem only with AT&T 3G connection. However, I have no problem using 3G connection for normal internet access/ browsing.

Do you know what could be the problem? Please help.:( :(

Problem solved: It is a problem of data connection. I disabled the "Disconnect After" under Data (GPRS/EDGE/HSPDA) in the Kaiser Tweak to "Disabled" Since then, Skype works perfectly.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis-falck:
Hello there!

So, my son played minecraft on my phone yesterday and somehow made it upgrade to the latest stock firmware (6.0?).

And now when I boot it up I get a black screen and a small box saying (in swedish) "Unfortunately the interface has stopped",

and every time I click "OK" it comes back up again. I can't access recovery either, plus, when I plug it in to my PC it's recognized

as my Z2, but I have no access to either the memorycard or the phone storage.

I have tried using ADB to make it go into recovery, but the command window just say "Waiting for device" and does nothing, or

say that the device is unauthorized.

Sony PC Companion says that I have to "Swipe down and choose MTP".

So I can't get into the settings on the phone, can't use ADB, and no access to the recovery menu.

Previous CFW was eXistenZ 5.1.1 (I think) with the TWRP recovery.

Can anyone help me get this baby back functional again?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monipeev:
When you (or your son) update to Android 6, you lost the recovery, that have it before.*

Now, connect the phone to computer with Pc Companion for example and repair the software.*

Program Pc Companion will guide you for steps that need to REPAIR your phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis-falck:
Like I wrote in the first post, PC Companion only tells me to "Swipe down and choose MTP".

No matter what I do in that program, it doesn't connect with the phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis-falck:
The issue has been solved.

I downloaded Xperia Companion, when it told me to activate the MTP function again.

So I removed the USB cable, clicked Software Repair and skipped along.

Then I plugged the phone back in and waited while it was initializing the repair.

After about 10 minutes it told me to remove the USB cable and turn off the phone.

So I did that, then it said to hold the Vol Down button while plugging it back in.

After that it began the software repair which lasted about 1 hour, and now it's on 6.0.1

fully functional.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monipeev:
That's what I recommend you do the program Pc Companion, but ultimately you deal with the new program of Sony, Xperia Companion, I'm glad you're able to handle.

anyone tried streaming the video of 360 cam to a laptop? are there any available drivers/software for this features?
[LG G5 Accessories] vansmack:
I haven't been able to get it work, and has been a challenge as it works on Wi-Fi Direct and not wi-fi through an access point.

However, when Android App support comes to Chormebooks, it might work, but you'd still be limited to the range of wi-fi direct, and more importantly, you're probably still limited to the circular view of the camera lens and not the full wide view.

A lot of potential here but I'm not sure how committed to improving the experience LG is.

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Fobos531:
Hello, as some of you may already know, we can't flash MM kdz on our LG Spirit using LG Flash Tool, so we have to use LG UP, a method which is also used by LG G4c owners. I drew the idea from them, since G4c and Spirit are practically the same devices. I've modified a script from G4c, all credits go to [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION].

So here are the steps:

1. Make sure you have USB drivers installed.

2. Download and install LG UP: http://www.filedropper.com/g4 ---- First install LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23, then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.

3. Download the script that makes LG UP recognize our device as H440n(Courtesy of [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION], I only modified small parts of it). Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lbxdwloffi75qqg/AABfz5e9AIiSxipsnZQIiikGa?dl=0 (Download as zip)

4. Extract the zip and run h440n.bat

5. Connect your Spirit in MTP mode.

6. Run LG UP and wait for it to load.

7. Leave all settings as they are.

8. Under file path, browse to the kdz file you downloaded. NOTE: It won't show in the directory it is in, because the browse window sees only .tot files, so you have to manually type in the KDZ name in the text field and select it that way.

9. Click Start

10. Wait

11. ???

12. Profit! Enjoy your LG Spirit running Marshmallow!
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] guglicap:
Thanks, I had to manually copy the dll in the LGUP folder, dunno if it's my fault, or script's fault though.

EDIT: It gives me an error on boot, about CUST not existing... Nothing important, I can continue to use it but it's rather annoying? Fixes? Thanks.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Fobos531:
I suppose yours, because it worked for me flawlessly. If someone notices any errors in modifications I made to the script, feel free to correct me.

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] hitmancho:
Sorry for the bad thread necro, but my girlfriend's H440N that constantly kept corrupting its IMEI can't be detected anymore. I found a way to use LGUP to detect it with some generic dll and then flashed a stock .kdz to get the IMEI and phone functions running back up. Now the phone shut off for some reason and keeps bootlooping and, while it enters download mode and my PC detects it on a COM port (COM4), LGUP just doesn't pick it up! I haven't changed anything on my PC. The only thing I did was to flash the unlocked bootloader aboot and use recovery to install the latest .zip-flashable (20b) ROM on the phone. Now the phone is h440n20b in the LGUP utility after COM4 but its model is unknown and NOTHING seems to get it right. Is this thing dead even with an active Download mode? I can't access recovery because the key combo was broken and just factory reset the phone. Can I access the bootloader and flash/boot a recovery from there? Or from download mode? I kinda need to save the data on the phone as well...

EDIT: Well, I got LGUP running. I had to go to the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and then go to LG Electronics and change ALL h440n names to h44020b. That's because that is the model LGUP "sees" after the COM port number. You still need a relevant ****.dll file with your SoC's number (in this case 8916 for Snapdragon 410 on h440n).

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] jonguz6:
It helps if its a Class 10, but I don't think there's any requirement. Especially that this method skips any benchmarks and settings, just forces it to work. There are two options:

1. Did it work? Mine looks like in the screenshot, you can clearly see the SD Cards is part of the permanent storage, unlike previously, where it had it's own section.

2. It worked! Merge only copies media files and some other small files onto the SD Card, which you might not have any. Because it's slower storage, it's not that useful for apps etc., but for pictures, music. You can move apps to there just like with a normal SD Card.
