[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkbfreak:
Dear all,

last week I sold my 1 year old LG G4 (H815 international version) to a guy via online marketplace. Before buying I demonstrated what a phone can do and let him try it for a while. He also asked me if I could send him files and procedures needed to root the phone and install custom recovery. The phone has bootloader unlocked and was rooted but eventually I restored it back to stock few months ago cuz I was trying to sell it. I'm advanced Android user and have been flashing phones since 2006. so I know what I'm doing...

After purchase the same guy sent me a message that the phone is superb and that he is totally satisfied with it, then the other day a message that one of the apps he installed ins't working as expected, after that that the phone is dead. He also said to me that he performed a hard reset and eventually pulled the battery out while the phone was resetting. We met and I tried to help but there was no bootloader, recovery or download mode any more! I hooked the phone to a laptop and nothing - device manager showed only QHSUSB_BULK and USB Device (VID_1f3a_PID_efe8)! No way to enter the recovery or download mode as it would solve the problem by flashing a proper kdz.

As far as I know phone was performing and functioning more than fine while I owned it and there is no way to hard brick the device unless you mess with flashing etc. It never suffered from bootloop problems. Unfortunately, the guy was kinda suspicious to me for asking too much stupid questions which he really didn't understand so I assume he is novice user. There was no sdcard in the phone to help me see the eventual files he maybe tried to flash as a proof and there was no other way to see what went wrong.

I'm in a semi-polite dispute with him because he claims I sold him a broken phone and I claim that it's his responsibility for messing up with software tampering and hard resetting etc.

What are your opinions about the whole situation? At least you would ease my mind because I'm 100% sure that I sold perfectly functional phone without any physical or software defects.

THANK YOU!

That is the fact where he may damaged the phone. Not you.

IMHO.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkbfreak:
Yes, that was my first thought. Phone was resetting the OS and was abruptly interrupted in the proces leaving it without finished re-partitioning or the OS fully loaded. Thanks for the opinion - appreciate it!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAE51D:
I just got done taking the PG1 update and things were working fine except TitaniumBackup had the issue with the writing to SD Card. So I did some research and thought that I could modify the

/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

, however when I rebooted the phone, I started getting the dreaded "NetworkSystemProvider" and "Google Play Services" stopped errors every few seconds. I have put the file back the way it was, rebooted, cleared cache & dalvik, but still I get the error. I really do NOT want to factory reset if I can help it.

It's frustrating even more-so because I generally run TitaniumBackups nightly and even TWRP backups pretty regularly too. I just hadn't gotten to one of the later, and ironically I was trying to fix the damn SD card write issue so that I could in fact do my TBs!! #FML

This seems like it should be something fixable no? I do have root and TWRP. I just can't find a good site that explains how to do it. I also tried to run the TWRP 'fix permissions' button too to no avail.

Can I just re-ODIN the PG1 or something worse case? And then re-root? ... without a factory reset I mean, so I keep my data and settings as they are?

I really don't understand how things go so jacked up from just changing an .xml file (and putting it back the way it was)??

Please help! Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Did you make a backup before you started modifying?

Did you try wiping cache and rebooting? Did you have a backup of the file you modified to restore? Check name and permissions?

If neither of the above help, factory reset and Odin again. Make a backup right after TWRP in case this happens again. Marshmallow is tricky and petty sometimes, unlike the earlier Android OS versions.

What you need is a PG1 modified services.jar for custom ROM. Don't recall seeing one shared for PG1. But there is a custom ROM in development forum.

hi xda guys

i working to gear s2 default app design.

weather, location(GPS) , music player.. anymore

1. tizen studio(old tizen sdb 2.7)program launch

2. connect gear s2 to computer(wi-fi connect)

3. launch the dos sdb shell 2.7.2

4. typening root on and wating(5~10minute)

.... faill to rooting

what the problem?

i don't know rooting method

Anybody rooting isn't it?
[Samsung Gear S2] fogame:
I kinda want to know how you are able to connect your Gear S2 to the computer to actually go through this....

AFAIK there isn't a way to do so.

Edit: NVM you are using wifi connect. Not sure if you can send commands through wifi connect.
[Samsung Gear S2] fmkingpin:
I also was trying this. Found a Su file used to root the z1 and tried pushing it to bin folder with no luck (permission denied obviously).

Pushed to the tmp folder and tried changing permissions for tmp folder like what was done on android using adB but not luck there either.

Anyone has any ideas for me to try....

I really have very little knowledge about this.
[Nexus 6P General] drago10029:
So the title says it all and I'll keep it simple. T-mobile has enabled 4x4 MIMO on their network.

The answer is the Nexus 6P does not completely support T-Mobile's new 4x4 MIMO tech.... So let me first explain..

Carrier Aggregation is a phone's ability to use multiple lanes on a highway (think cars!) which means less traffic jams since you have all the highways available and can increase the speed since more lanes are in use. Qualcomm used beer to teach about Carrier Aggregation lol

MIMO Technology (Keep Carrier Aggregation in mind) this allows you to combine multiple highways and use the speed of each highway to increase your download speed for videos, files, etc.

The reason MIMO is important is because combining bands combines download speeds. So you can double or triple your Upload and Download speed by utilizing MIMO technology + Carrier Aggregation depending on your modem.

The complicated part is if your phone supports MIMO technology, there are some things to consider:

The CAT rating of your phone radio

If your radio has been updated to utilize the feature

If your carrier has enabled the feature

So How Fast will this make my phone? It depends on your phone, in the case of the Nexus 6P, it supports 2x2 MIMO.

How can I tell if the feature has been enabled? Since I'm focusing on T-mobile here is a chart that will tell you. The assumption is if the area supports 4x4 MIMO it will support 3x3 and lower as well.

How fast can our Cat 6 modem go!!!? Here is a visualization because I like pictures better

TLDR: Nexus supports 300mpbs maximum and can only use 2x2 MIMO on T-Mobiles or MetroPCS network.
[Nexus 6P General] drago10029:
If I made any mistakes just let me know, It's very late and I'm very very sleepy, thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] chaco81:
Thanks for the TLDR explanation.......does MIMO works across bands? For Ex..., MIMO can be using Band 4+12 or is it just one band at a time...

How do we go about knowing it works? How can we determine if our current modem supports TMo MIMO and or how would we know if we are currently using MIMO.... Will an app like LTE discovery show different info?
[Nexus 6P General] drago10029:
It uses multiple bands, that's the only way it can achieve the faster speed.

That's a great question, I don't know if there is anyway you can tell if that tech is being used on your current connection. Anyone else know?? Please feel free to chime in.
[Nexus 6P General] osi13:
The 6P is only limited to 64 QAM as well. As far as I know only the Note 7, S7 edge/S7 support 4x4 and 256 QAM. It seems the iPhone 7 is using an Intel radio for T-Mobile so it will likely not have support as well.
[Nexus 6P General] hibby50:
Can Google fi use the 4x4? Assuming the phone supported it...
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
According to something I saw it supports speeds up to 450 MBs. So I'm guessing it's compatible
[Nexus 6P General] chaco81:
i noticed under advanced settings LTE Discovery can alert you if you are in carrier aggregation. would be cool to set those alerts and see if we see it kick in

i have yet to notice anything, but last night i did see faster then normal speeds in LTE. band 4
[Nexus 6P General] drago10029:
I guess the 450mbps modems are 4x4 compatible? LTE Cat9 supports 450mbps so I assume phones with those modems (Galaxy S7) just need a update and BOOM, 4x4 CA speeds.

can you post a screenshot of the setting?
[Nexus 6P General] chaco81:
Sure
[Nexus 6P General] drago10029:

Here's a press release regarding T-Mobile latest network enhancements.

https://newsroom.t-mobile.com/news-and-blogs/lte-advanced.htm?icid=WMM_TM_CRMTTHRNG_6CJTKS87RYJ6173
[Nexus 6P General] drago10029:
Nice find! I heard this a while ago but glad that artciles brought it out....

It's true man, as far as NYC goes coverage is definitely everywhere! and speeds are right there with it. I even tested on a trip home once, my work blackberry (verizon) vs my personal phone (metropcs) got more coverage more often. T-mobile has come a long way and $60 for unlimited internet. can't beat that
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] phame:
Hey guys,

So just wondering has anyone noticed and pros / cons when switching the display resolution from WQHD ( 2560 x 1440) to HHD (1920 x 1080)?

Ive switched to it back and forth several times, and so far I really cant see any difference. The screen quality / crispness seems to be the same. Also I noticed that when i have FHD selected the device obviously seems to run a little faster / snappier.

Incase you don't know what I'm referring to its in Settings>Display>Screen Resolution.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] stevierayvaughan:
Hmm the only place I can change that is by turning on a power saving mode, I don't see any screen resolution in the settings otherwise (on Canadian N930W8).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] phame:
Thats strange I have it as a stock option in settings...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] imatts:
I tried it once and didnt like how the LCD density increases significantly. It also doesnt play nice when setting a custom LCD density via a root app or through adb.

I've noticed no improvements with quality, performance, and even battery life. Setting the res to anything but WQHD actually somehow drains more battery and causes performance issues.

To ellaborate on the tricky LCD density issues, I thought I could set the res to 720p and the LCD density to my usual (420 down from stock 560), but having the density to 420 on WQHD and then changing it to 720p essentially erases the set density, and then things get a little funky when trying to re-change the density. Doing so causes some weird glitches since the density of 420 on 720p is based on the resolution, so it actually makes the density much bigger compared to stock density on 720p, and then setting the density to the proportionate number based on calculating the difference causes the entire Ui to seize up and crash. The same effect you would get where if you set the density below 300.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] phame:
Ok thanks for the great answer! Guess ill stick to WQHD! Just thought it might offer some benefits.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] judy.baby2013:
been testing this and found that it does not get warm when switched down

and to the eye same amazing screen
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] TML1504:
Sorry, but my findings are almost the opposite, I even made a thread in discussion forum to regard the change to FHD to other users.

FOR ME, switching to FHD has improved the responsiveness of the UI (graceui) considerably, and I do not see the "LCD density increase" (btw.: what should that be? i guess DPI?? then switching to FHD would be a DEcrease...)

Also, I'm almost sure that this must lead to battery improvement too. simple because cpu und gpu have less work to do calculating the lesser amount of screen-pixels to draw! This might be slight, but should be there!

The other problems you mention are because you are playing around with density mods, are you using xposed? I use the lower FHD resolution now for a week, and I do not have ANY problem with it!!! And trust me, I use this phone the whole day long and have many programs and communication tools installed.

everything works as it should!

[LG Watch Urbane] steve.harder:
Hi all,

I just received my new watch, I love it so far and the battery life is great.

I got a new sim for the watch (prepaid sim) and I can call and pair my watch via data.

I do have a problem when trying to enable call forwarding option from the watch itself.

I get on the phone (LG V10) the following error -

"Call forwarding, Connection problem or invalid MMI code"

When I enable call forwarding directly from my phone to my watch it is working fine but I want to have the option to do so from my watch in case I forget the phone and

can't reach the phone to enable call forwarding directly.

Thanks in advance for you help,
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:

[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
What version of the watch are you using? The AT&T version (W200A)? I wonder if it is related to your service/network provider on your phone. Which provider are you using? Which prepaid SIM for the watch? I'm using the AT&T version of the watch(with a Truphone SIM) and Cricket (which uses AT&T network) on my phone without issues. I wonder if the call forwarding codes sent to a phone on the AT&T network would cause problems for Sprint or Verizon, if that is your provider.

LG also has call forwarding app that may help, but I haven't tried it. Link is below.

[Dell Venue] phibersg:
Hi Everyone,

So i tried a installing the latest version of Xposed x86 and got my Dell 7840 bricked.

It's running the latest 5.1 OS (Nov 2015 update), but is NOT OEM unlocked ( I can't for the hell of me figure out how it is bootloader locked and rooted! ).

It does not have custom recovery, only stock recovery so i can only do ADB sideload but not update from zip? :(

I can get to the fastboot menu, but i can't do the tethered recovery as everything failed due to locked bootloader.

i can't unlock the bootloader via fastboot as i can't boot to the OS due to stuck at the Intel inside bootscreen.

When i goto the covery mode. i see "Venue 8 7840-user 5.1 LMY47I BBP803A173600DEL release-keys"

I tried to use the Intel Platform flash tools to flash DD0_BB.xml as per some unbricking guide, but this seems to only work if you are in the OS and not in the fastboot mode.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
[Dell Venue] phibersg:

Hey,

download bootloader and firmware (e.g. https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B0hcxOtcOlhLdTJzbDhiNFhfTEk&export=download) and flash 5.0.1 fastboot.

Then use FBRL to reinstall the system.

I unrooted my phone ages ago, havent done anything to it since, but yesterday my phone just decided to cut out, started with apps not loading, then my phone wouldn't turn on, now my phone just gets stuck into bootloop :(

How do I determine which stock firmware to go back to via Odin?

My phone is UK, and unlocked

When i try to go into recovery, I get the following

RECOVERY BOOTING....

SET Warranty Bit: Recovery

and it's driving me nuts, Ive tried installing a UK firmware that I believe might be the one, and Odin doesn't come back with any errors, but the same damn message applies, as far as I know, once you can get recovery working and clear cache, you should be fine, but I just cant get it to work
