Two things I have noticed thus far:

- Auto brightness seems to be a little bit brighter, doesn't go down to lowest level that easily anymore

- I noticed that there is ZRAM now listed under the RAM details of a process. Not sure if that is new or I just haven't noticed that before.

Can anybody with pre-27C check if ZRAM is listed on the RAM details pane of a process? If not, then this is new.
[Verizon LG G4] Aaahh:
where is this?
[Verizon LG G4] Juice3250:
I have been using Facebook and it randomly just rebooted twice within two minutes. I'm on 27c. Could it just be Facebook or the new software update? Who knows. But I never have experienced reboots in the past. The first one was annoying. I was responding in length to someone for at least 5 minutes, and it decides it wants to reboot. I lost everything that I had typed out. The phone was not charging but was slightly warm. So I feel like either Facebook or something else may have caused it. I have installed and uninstalled Facebook several times in the past. It's just annoying to try and share things without having the native app installed.

Alright, I uninstalled Facebook. I go to Facebook on chrome and less than one minute, the bottom half of the screen decides to go all blurry and pixelated. The phone reboots. Has anyone else experienced similar things or is this a first sign that my phone is slowly going to keep getting worse until it starts boot looping?

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Also this is what my battery graph looks like during this period of three bootloops.
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
Go to the App Info page of a running process (long press the icon), let's say Chrome. Then click on Memory at the bottom to get the Memory details.

If you are on pre-27C, do you see any mention of "ZRAM" in the memory details?
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
I think you got a bootloop coming. Probably the heat generated by installing the update has caused it. Happened to me last time when i installed 26A as well, few days later it started acting up and then bootlooped.
[Verizon LG G4] Juice3250:
Well that's not good news at all and not what I wanted to hear. What could I possibly do to prevent this or delay it?
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
Nothing really. Backup your data and be prepared for the inevitable to happen.
[Verizon LG G4] Juice3250:
I guess I'm gonna be looking to go to T-Mobile so I can get them to pay off my phone. I owe $425 to Verizon for another year. If I buy a phone from them and switch to them, I can get rid of this phone. Last year, I got an iPhone 6plus on payments. 6 months later I sold it for $500 and bought this brand new G4 on Swappa for $300. But I'm still obligated to make the payments to Verizon for the cost of the iPhone.
[Verizon LG G4] Aaahh:
Nope

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

I had bootloops and had to get my phone replaced twice, (first for the fuse, and then for the emmc corruption)

It might be the battery as it was for me, get it replaced.

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Does 27 have the October's security update?
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
Pretty sure they require you to turn in the actual phone on the payment plan to pay it off. Since you don't have the phone anymore, that may be an issue.
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
So looks like ZRAM was added with 27c. It allows to hold a few more apps in RAM than before.

Security date of 27c is September.
[Verizon LG G4] Juice3250:
That's not the case. If you look at T-Mobile's website it says otherwise. You send in the phone to T-Mobile, not Verizon when you switch.

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

I've thoroughly researched this issue and talked with two different people from Verizon support on whether or not you can switch phones while under a payment plan without having to turn in the original phone. The payments aren't tied to the phone, only the phone line.
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
Well, I was pretty sure T-Mobile would want to have the device with the right IMEI that is on the Verizon payment plan. Otherwise you could just buy an iPhone 7 Plus from Verizon, and then immediately turn a crap phone in to T-Mobile and have them pay off your iPhone 7 Plus.
[Verizon LG G4] pilotdog68:
Anybody else getting reboot issues from this? I'm hesitant to install.
[Verizon LG G4] mikeewhite:
So I have a weird issue once I installed this update. I am now unable to connect to the Verizon network. Tried toggling data off/on again, airplane mode, battery yank; sadly no data. Luckily WIFI works, so I'm not completely dead in the water.
[Verizon LG G4] rfarrah:
Did you try pulling the SIM, booting up (sim-less). Pull the battery, re-insert the SIM and rebooting?

Also, I just took the update this morning. Battery seems significantly worse, but I will see if it settles after awhile.
[Verizon LG G4] mikeewhite:
Never received any SIM error, but I did as suggested. This time when it boots up, it stated SIM detected and switched to global mode. Sadly, still no data network found.
[Verizon LG G4] rfarrah:
Wow - weird. Time to take it to a VZW store.
[Verizon LG G4] mikeewhite:
That is what I was thinking, but hoping not to do.
[Verizon LG G4] justanutt:
I can confirm that I can downgrade from 27c to 13b by kdz using LGUP. Just FYI.
[Verizon LG G4] mikeewhite:
I am going to attempt a downgrade to see if it helps. Went to Verizon, they tried a new sim and factory reset. Replacement is on its way, but in the meantime, I'll try anything to get up and rolling again.
[Verizon LG G4] ANDROID2468:
I was disappointed to

I was disappointed too, the only new features they added is they added default USB connections
[Verizon LG G4] Juice3250:
Well I believe my phone may be headed towards bootlooping. Yesterday it randomly rebooted three times in the span of 10 minutes. I spoke with LG and I can send it in for a new main board. Or I can go into Verizon and demand they give me a replacement phone. Either the same one or a different phone altogether.
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
Whatever you do, don't get a replacement G4 from Verizon. They will probably give you a refurb with an old serial number that will bootloop before long also. Either get Verizon to give you a different phone, or send it to LG for a motherboard swap, in the hopes that LG has figured out by now what the issue is and fixed it on these replacement boards.
[Verizon LG G4] vrm4:
Same here, had to do a factory reset to get connected again.
[Verizon LG G4] Juice3250:
This is exactly my plan. When I spoke with LG, they made the point that they will fix it, whereas the carrier will only give you a refurbished device as a replacement. If Verizon doesn't give me a different device, which I'm not holding my breath that they will, I'll send it in to LG for them to fix it.

---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 AM ----------

It will be tough, I think, to convince Verizon that my phone is having problems. Especially if I walk in there with a working phone. It sounds and looks like I'm just trying to get a new device and making up a story. Is there any kind of proof that I can take in there with me, something I could possibly print out to show them that the G4 has this issue? In case they don't believe me.

If I had to predict, they'll probably end up telling me I can pay off my device and upgrade today. Oh, and we also have this promotion going on where you can trade in this phone for a $300 bill credit. That's what I'm expecting them to tell me.
[Verizon LG G4] Juice3250:
So an update.

I called Verizon and they ran diagnostics on my phone over the phone. They said my battery temp seemed slightly high. They gave me instructions on how to diagnose it further.

First they said to reboot into safe mode. Basically you hold down the power button, then long press power off. Then you get a pop up to boot into safe mode. This is so you can rule out any third party apps causing the issues. This limits you to use only the apps that came installed on it. I thought to myself, how in the world am I going to be able to use this phone enough to replicate it rebooting. Sure enough when I went to charge the phone, I opened up chrome to browse around all while listening to music and it rebooted by itself. So that rules out any apps causing it. So the next step is to take it into a Verizon location, not a retail store, and they can give me a warranty replacement. The reason they told me to try it in safe mode was if they replaced it and there wasn't anything wrong with the hardware, they would charge me. This way they can replace it for free.

The guy that I talked to was super helpful and understanding. It was the best service I've ever received from them. I was even behind in my payments, and he didn't even pressure me into making a payment.

I also asked if it would be possible to get my phone replaced with something different. He said if they replace my G4 twice, then they would more than likely be able to get me into a different phone. I told him I totally understood and that I wasn't just trying to get a new phone. I shared with him my apprehension in getting another G4 because it's likely to happen again.

So, once I'm able to make a payment to get my bill current, I'll be heading into a Verizon location and hopefully be walking out with a replacement G4.

And I was worried that they wouldn't even work with me because I didn't buy my phone from them or another big retailer.

Just thought I'd share my experience in case anyone is interested in knowing what the options are.
[Verizon LG G4] rfarrah:
FWIW, still seeing quicker-than-usual battery discharge, even with (non-rooted) Greenify helping out.
[Verizon LG G4] WAIDroid:
Yeah i went back to 5.1 cause i used my Extended batteries and they would discharge faster on MM so. Now on 5.1 Again and they work fine again. I think in MM there's a bug in the Battery Kernel or the OS Kernel
[Verizon LG G4] aashish_believe:
can anyone provide a link for the kdz
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
I am getting my best battery life ever on 27c. Initially, after installing I had some issue with the phone staying awake due to wakelocks. Then I made some changes that seems to have greatly increased the phone's stamina.

- Uninstalled GSAM Battery Monitor and GasBuddy apps, as they seem to keep the phone awake unnecessarily. Using BetterBatteryStats instead now, that seems to work much better, especially after you grant it permissions via adb shell.

- Using Greenify for aggressive hibernation of all unneeded apps when the screen turns off (that works even without root now)

- Go into the service menu (##228378 in the dialer), and flip "Log Enable" to Enable first and them immediately back to Disable. Don't exit via back button. Unfortunately, it seems that this step is required after every reboot, otherwise logd starts to drain battery a lot.

If you suffer high idle drain, check BetterBatteryStats "Awake (Screen Off)" metric. Mine is around 20-25% now, was higher like 75% before when battery drained faster. Trying to get it even lower, not sure yet where these 20-25% still coming from.
[Verizon LG G4] Juice3250:
How do you grant it permissions via adb shell? Can better battery stats work properly without root?
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
Yes, it works okay. Here are the commands (assuming you are running the XDA edition):

pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.BATTERY_STATS

pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.DUMP

[Verizon LG G4] rfarrah:
Thanks, I didn't know Greenify added these options. I was trying to do this via tasker and it was having issues.
[Verizon LG G4] WAIDroid:
Yeah... i had to go back to 13B. Why? Cause either A: MM is bugged and drains All my Extended Batteries or B: My G4 is somehow bugged hardware wise. With LP All my Batteries work fine so when NG comes i'll test that
[Verizon LG G4] rfarrah:
Update may have borked my SD card. It died at the same time I did the update and the system was using extra resources to try and mount it / access it I guess. Trying a new card later today....
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
Installing update heats up the phone quite a bit, so SD card may have died from the heat.
[Verizon LG G4] Naemion:
Less than a week after I took the update my phone is dead...stuck on the initial lg splash screen. have to use my wife's old phone.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
Use the LG flash tool to go back to 13b...then root and stay away from the unrootable marshmallow updates. Rooted lollipop is better than unrooted marshmallow or nougat. ;)

But if you have to have marshmallow then just update your phone like normal.
[Verizon LG G4] Naemion:
I can't get the phone to do anything including a factory reset.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
You've tried using the built in recovery? Have you actually tried going into download mode?
[Verizon LG G4] Juice3250:
You probably have the bootloop issue. I updated mine about a month ago. I hadn't experienced any prior random reboots. The phone got very hot during the whole update and optimizing apps. The very next day, it started to reboot randomly. A week later it turned off and wouldn't turn back on. I took it into Verizon and they mailed a replacement to me the next day at no cost. Well, only $20 to have it shipped overnight. I had only had it since February. So about 9 months old. And it was a 510 model.
[Verizon LG G4] scared_bear:
So is it good or not to apply update 27C at VS986? Does it helps with battery life? Any other feedback? Actually I am on 25A.
[Verizon LG G4] WAIDroid:
You realize the latest is 28A right? To my Experience yes but with only the Original Battery. If using a Extended one you'll need to downgrade to 5.1 which works if on 28A
[Verizon LG G4] scared_bear:
Thanks so much for the prompt and elaborated answer. I will post the results after updating it.
[Verizon LG G4] returned4good:
My 5000mah works fine with 28A.
[Verizon LG G4] WAIDroid:
Which Brand?
[Verizon LG G4] returned4good:
TOTHL
[Verizon LG G4] WAIDroid:
I have that one and the new 10,000mah Battery but for some reasom with this 28A update and the others the battery keeps discharging alittle faster then normal but once i have the screen off for a awhile it charges back up a little bit. with 13b 5.1 i had no such issue
[Verizon LG G4] returned4good:
The 5000 one, too?
[Verizon LG G4] WAIDroid:
Yes. About to go back to 13b 5.1 but I go to 27c cause I see that the 4G isn't here. Guess they messed up again :confused:
[Verizon LG G4] returned4good:
Have you tried charging it externally rather than through the phone and putting it in at 100%? The phone may not be detecting the ranges correctly.
[Verizon LG G4] WAIDroid:
I charge All my Batteries through a oem battery charger rather then the Phone. Look at my Thread man
[Verizon LG G4] returned4good:
Hmm. I don't know, then.
[Android Auto General] dkintana:
Hi,

I've bought an Erisin ES3015V unit. It is a really fine product, and I am very happy with it. It's an 5.1.1 android unit with 1024x600, 1024Kb RAM, 12GB storage, and a full and complete support for my Volkswagen Passat CAN Bus, climatic, FIS, open doors, etc, etc, etc.

However, I would like to install some tools to enhance this unit, like Viper4android, but this tool, and other ones, needs the device to be rooted. I've tried a lot of utils, without any success. I've inserted the code *#hct#root# code in the "factory settings" option, and obtained the corresponding "ADB root" message. The last app I've tried has been Kingoroot, but after the corresponding warnings about all the dissasters and blah, blah, blah, the message "Not installed" appears and nothing happens... It's annoying... I've tried to install all of this apps with the included "APK installer" utility. I'm desperate. I don't know what to do now to root this unit... Is there somebody that can help me, please???

Regards,

Hi.

Im a noob on XDA but have enjoyed the freedom of custom roms for some time now on my note 4 (N910C). So far it has only been stock based touchwiz roms. A few days ago i decided to give CM13 a go and since then i have been unable to revert back. Every touchwiz rom (stock and custom) i have tried just ends in a bootloop but when i flash CM13 again it boots up just fine.

I have tried flashing numerous android 6.0.1 stock roms through odin, even from different regions but still for the same version. Its always stuck in a bootloop.

Tried flashing stock and then immediately flashing custom stock based rom (both clean install after wiping and trying to dirty flash over stock rom)

I have done all the suggestions of factory resetting, wiping caches and you name it after clean flashes and even tried them with dirty flashes. Whatever i do i cannot get any stock or stock based rom to boot up.

A few months ago i tried out cm12.1 and had no problem going back to a stock based rom, but after CM13 my phone absolutely refuses to boot anything stock or stock based.

I would appreciate any advice and suggestions. Please ask if theres any more info needed of my device or roms i already tried.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You might be having kernel issues. If the stock you're flashing is a flashable zip then it might not include the stock kernel, if it doesn't include the stock kernel then its leaving the custom kernel from CM13. If that's the case it won't work because stock won't work with a CM kernel.

You said you did the wipes when you flashed, did you mean that you did factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache? Or did you mean that you did the advanced wipe options to wipe system partition and data partition before flashing?

If you didn't do the advanced wipe before flashing then it might help if you did them before flashing. Wipe system and wipe data then factory reset then flash ROM then wipe cache and dalvik after flashing then reboot.

I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE
[General Questions and Answers] JackalJC:
I flash stock roms through Odin with the .tar.md5 file.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Usually if it bootloops after flashing with Odin, you boot to stock recovery and factory reset/wipe cache and it should boot after that.

The times that you tried stock and then went back to CM13, are you rooting and reflashing TWRP again so you can flash back to CM13? Or is it leaving custom recovery on the device even after flashing with Odin? If its leaving TWRP on the device then Odin isn't flashing correctly.

Are you flashing the full stock firmware in Odin? Or are you flashing a modified stock .tar?

I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE
[General Questions and Answers] JackalJC:
I have tried all the factory reset/wipe cache suggested on other threads and websites i have found regarding bootloops.

When going back to CM13 after trying methods to get stock back i flash TWRP again as flashing stock through Odin replaces TWRP with stock recovery again and then do a restore of CM13 through TWRP with all my necessary apps on, much easier than installing everything again after each try (a fresh install of CM13 also works fine with no problems). I also tried various versions of Odin just in case it was a problem with the version i used but every time i get the same same results.

I am flashing full pure stock from sammobile.

DOOGEE Y6 - Information & Reviews - 5.5" HD | MT6750 | 2/4GB | 16/64GB | Piano Black

DOOGEE Y6

Specs:

Leaked News:

The First Smartphone Brand, except Apple, that produces a “piano black” a cheap device.

DOOGEE, a smartphone brand, always try their best to research in new technology. Since the iPhone 7 High Glossy "Jet Black" finish gets the most attention as it’s the most striking visual change for the new phone, DOOGEE will introduce this new colour “Piano Black” for the DOOGEE Y6 whose back cover will be glossy with a touch feeling that will provide a new sense.

The “Piano Black” DOOGEE Y6 may*only be offered in a limit quantity and exclusively on DOOGEE-licensed e-shops due to the high demand of the technology required to produce this amazing latest color texture.

The rare Jet Black color which is commonly called the “Piano Black” gets the most attention as it is the most striking visual change for a smartphone. DOOGEE has achieved their own “Piano Black” which looks neck to neck with the “Piano Black” of the iPhone 7. Also, it will only be available for the highest Storage configuration: 4GB/64GB.

[YOUTUBE]Mo3ItpDBtHA[/YOUTUBE]

The process to achieve “Piano Black”

Apple made something of a fuss about the iPhone 7’s “Piano Black” color, which needed nine-step process to achieve that look, and also DOOGEE had to go through lots of tough processes to achieve the “Piano Black” as well.

The first and most tough part of the process is the rotational 3D polishing. A machine drags the aluminum housing through a specialized powder, which buffs out imperfections like bubbles or dust, and helps to produce a mirror-like effect. The housing is then dipped into an anodization tank, where electricity jolts the surface of the aluminum into aluminum oxide, making it more corrosion-resistant. To get the maximum saturation of black, the surface is made porous so it can absorb the black dye. What’s more, the extra sheen is the most amazing part of the “piano black”. The housing is spun through a bath of iron particles.

So this is how the DOOGEE Y6 “Piano Black” is produced, and remember, it may be sold as a Limited Edition.

DOOGEE Y6 Promotion starts the 17th of October at 12:00 Bejing Time (UTC + 8)
