I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I only got this phone because I had to trade in my note 7 and thought I was just experiencing transition difficulties going from Samsung to LG.

It's so weird to me that there's no gallery or email but they made sure the stupid Uber app was installed????
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] planetbeen:
I can't believe some of the carriers are doing this! Why would they leave out the stock apps? I mean, I get all the junk they add for whatever deals they have or advertising or whatever (I understand but I still despise the non removable bloat)

Glad t-mobile didn't remove these apps as I'm already used to them coming from the v10.

I hope someone figures out how to get the missing apps to everyone!

I thought I was losing my mind when I couldn't find the email app on my sprint v20. This is rediculous!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Skripka:
I suspect they're thinking like Google....remember if you have a Nexus or Pixel, at stock your "gallery" app consists of Google Photos.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EROMITLAB:
I suspect it's more about money and the carrier associated with your device. Of course I don't know the specifics but I'd bet it boils down to money.

I'm thinking in part because of Sprint's partnership with Amazon, their music app is now preinstalled, and they now offer photo backup.

Agreed.

No video app, but video player exists!

I'm no newbie, but defer to the many far more knowledgeable than I am on this. Trying to understand how this is possible. So I, like many of you, have the sprint variant and gave none of the usual stock apps, including videos, gallery, email, etc. But if you view a video in Google photos, and click 'open with' there IS a video app. That video player is fantastic, but I can't find the stand alone app anywhere. Trying to figure out how that is possible. Are there possibly hidden apps pre-installed somewhere that I just can't find??

Alternative Route

I recently got my V20. I too couldnt find the Gallery app that usually comes stock with a phone. Only thing i found that is not as easy as gallery is.. >Menu>File Manager>Camera.. Other option in the File Manager is-- Camera, Screen Shots, Pictures, DCIM.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mlctulsa11:
There is also no stock email app on the Sprint V20 either. That is a bit odd to me. I am using BlueMail, working great. I would just use Google Photos for your pictures

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] hellot1M:
The stock gallery app is the Google photos app which is annoying because you have to set it up to read new apps that accept in pictures. I've also found that even with it set up properly sometimes still won't show all your pictures. I have yet to find a good basic gallery app that comes with all Android phones. All the ones on the play store either cost money or aren't simple enough. This has been a huge issue for a lot of my customers who purchased this phone. I've also had to deal with several returns because of the lack of a proper gallery. This was a stupid move on LGs part

As for the email, Google had been trying to phase out their stock email client and have added the same support to their Gmail app. So you can use your Gmail app for all your email accounts.

Edit: they first made this mistake when they tried to take the app drawer away. They need to make the gallery app available to download throw the update center like they did with their home screen + app drawer.

hello

Is there Kexec kernel for lg g4(h815) ?

For multirom

Very thankks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] supernatedogg18:
Guys:

With the previous ROM that HTC pulled from their website, I didn't have these problems and now with the new ROM the problems have reappeared again.

The issue is when I am connected via bluetooth to my PC using Internet Sharing, every so often the Mogul will drop the network connection. It's really annoying. I noticed also that the bluetooth will turn itself off when this happens.

If I stream music or something where there is a continuous data stream, it won't disconnect, but if I am just surfing from page to page, it will drop the connection and I always have to reconnect.

Is it something I am doing wrong, or is this a bluetooth issue? I am connecting at 3Mbps using Bluetooth 2.0.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] supernatedogg18:
Bump!

Any ideas folks? I went out and bought another bluetooth usb adapter and installed it properly and I am still getting the same problem.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] tpbklake:
My DSL modem went out yesterday and I have experienced this problem too. I'm running Vista on a Dell Latitude D830 with BT 2.0. After about 10 minutes, the BT setting on the Mogul is actually being disabled and I have to go back through Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth and re-enable it.

Regards,

Tom
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JakFrost:
Just a little clarification, the disconnections and the Bluetooth icon turns off in the Connection Manager usually mean that the stack has crashed. When you Enable the functionality again you are starting the Bluetooth stack. Same problem was in the 2.16.651.0 firmware.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] animator776:
So I've had my (T-Mobile variant) V20 for a little over a day now and I can already tell it will be an easy 2-year phone. I came from a (T-mobile) G5.

Since I haven't sold my G5 yet, I decided to do a head-to-head comparison. The V20 won in every aspect except for 1 area. It lagged behind my G5's speaker.

I was shocked honestly because I just assumed LG would use the exact same speaker for the V20 as they had in the G5, or a better one.

My findings were that the G5's speaker is quite loud, open, and has a fair amount of depth and bass for a single bottom-firing speaker.

The V20 on the other hand is a tad quieter, slightly muffled (when compared to the G5), and doesn't have as much depth/music layer separation.

So if anyone else has these 2 phones and wants to confirm for me that I have a properly working V20 speaker, please compare them.

Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] trix4rix:
My V20 (H918TN) has a significantly better bottom-firing speaker than my LG G5. Both are running stock sound profiles.

HA! just let me say something that i know you wont believe but anyway i wil say it. I can put music in my LG V20, leave it inside the room with the volume to the maximum, go outside the room, the room with door closed, walk away 17 long step and i can still hear some of the music yet. I had the Galaxy s5 and i couldnt achieve that, The device that get closer to such power of the V20 is the LG G3 ( from the devices currently own of course, and the ones i have owned too). I even went to the bathroom and could still hear it LOL the bathroom is 12 long steps away and it is an extra door added
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] animator776:
Wow! I do believe you, I can do that with my G5, but for some reason not my V20. I wonder if it has to do with the T-Mobile variant? Or maybe I have a bad unit... :(

Mine is a T-mobile variant. Can't be that issue. It might be a quality control issue, or you could have just gotten a bad unit. Good luck.

I have the same problem. When i received a call until i just swap cards from G5 i thought that volume is completely down or it's just bugged ringtone.

Compared to my old nexus 6p

Speaker sound with v20 is bad. Really bad
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] justthefacts:
Same experience comparing my V20 to my G3.

G3 sounds more cleaner. I think it has to do with the way the speaker is not flushed to the body of the phone resulting a not so rich sound. It definitely has the power though. Just a bad design.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pgag:
I just got mine 3 days ago and my speacker is loud better than my note 3
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] midmadn:
Nexus 6P has dual front facing speakers. Of course it's not going to compare.

Coming from many years with Samsung Note 3, 4 & 7 - the speaker on the V20 is very impressive as long as your not blocking it with your hand or finger.

I'll never buy another Samsung phone unless they do something with the horrible sound. Even with a good set of headphones plugged in the Samsungs sound like crap compared to any HTC phone or the V20.

My LG V20 speaker is very adequate. it is loud enough, clear and pleasant on the ears. I don't expect anything more than this from a bottom firing single speaker. Period.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] popwar:
Its louder than the v10. Significant difference imom
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] tymansdaddy:
To make mine louder and less muffled, I took the back cover off and used a torx bit to remove the two bottom screws and pulled the end off and removed the factory screen LG put in it. Since it's not waterproof, has no side effects other than less muffled sound and a little bit louder too. Just an idea.

So they other night i tried rooting my gs7 edge AT&T version.. Found a tutorial online and flashed a file via odin. And upon rebooting ended up freezing on the AT&T boot logo. which seemed to a common problem after reading the comments. The only way was to do a factory reset which i did and got the phone working again. But now the phone is extremely sluggish it lags doing the simplest tasks. Now i want to start over and flash the stock firmware via odin but not sure what files to flash something about pi2 and the BL. Can some one point out to me what is the latest firmware i should be installing. Just trying to go back to stock here.

[Remix OS for PC] Wryth:
Hello.

First note that i'm not a native english speaker and then should have some difficulties to write what I want to say. But if you ask me question about what I meant I should be able to answer.

I recently tried to test Remix OS on a USB flash drive. It was amazing. The only problem is that I tested it with the Guest Mod. Then when I wanted to use it with the resident/regular mod I had a problem... Everything goes slow... PRETTY SLOW.

Then I decided to create a partition on my HDD. I created a 21 GO NTFS partition, and copied the files contained in the Remix.iso file. Due to a bug of EasyBCD on my computer I decided to use grub to boot into this partition with Remix OS on it.

Here is my grub config:

set root=(hd0,4)

linux /kernel initrd=/initrd.img quiet root=/dev/ram0

androdboot.hardware=remix_x86_64

androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random DATA= SRC= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1

initrd /initrd.img

Everything is fine, I can boot and run Remix OS... I started the Google Service Activator, rebooted my computer, but then... When I tried to run the Play Store it display me "Couldn't sign in - There was a problem communicating with Google servers ... Try Later". I've tried everything, reinstall... Changing my configs... Delete Play Store and Google Service datas... Nothing works...

If you have any solution, i'll like to see them ^^'

Thank you.
[Remix OS for PC] engmia:
Last night I encountered at random the same problem as you.

Does booting from a flash drive in guest mode (not the install you currently have on your hard drive) give you the same results?

For me personally, for some reason my hard disk install got messed up and couldn't connect to Google Play services. I reinstalled the OS to fix the problem and haven't encountered it since.
[Remix OS for PC] Wryth:
Still having the problem ^^'

On the USB flash drive in Guest Mode I can connect on the Play Store.

I formated my partition on my HDD, unzip the iso in it, create the empty "data" folder. Start Remix OS on the HDD, activated play store, restarted, but still got the error while launching the Play Store... ^^'
[Remix OS for PC] Wryth:
Did I miss something ?

Is the grub config right ?

Is Just unzipping the .iso a wrong way of installation ?
[Remix OS for PC] mitchell4you:
Make sure you have this in Grub:

androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random

Without a serial number... no Google play access

Check in:

Settings/about tabled/status/serial number

If your unit has a serial number

Also check ntfs r/w file access

Hey, thanks for your reply.

Here is my grub config:

initrd /initrd.img

Then I already have the androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random ^^'

I've verified, and yes, there is a serial number in the settings.

Is it normal that the Play Store Activator is changing the Serial ?

And is it normal I get the same Serial after using the Activator ?

Sorry real new to Remix, the only thing I can help you with is a suggestion for reinstall. It fixed the problem for me.

Didn't re-install

What I had to do was add the SERIAL=random to grub. Once I saw that I had the random serial number in the Status, go into the App Drawer, right click on the Play Store, App Details, then Storage, then choose Clear Data and reboot. Do not attempt to launch Play Store unless you reboot after you Clear Data.

Hi bro! I would like to ask as i see you had a n4 if its worth it to go from the n4 to the s7e? Im thinkin about switching to the s7 thats why i ask.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G935F met Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shadowjump:
Well, depends. If you go to the S7 I guess no. Going from a 5.7 display to a 5.1 is a pretty big difference. Also, the S7E, because of the curved edges, this display also looks smaller to the eye than 5.5 but it's still manageable.

Lastly, if you care about protecting your screen, you have to go the expensive route, with some protection from spigen for example, as cheap screen protectors are crap. (already tried 4 and none sticked to the glass)

Three things you are going to enjoy though are the battery life, which is a huuuuuge plus for me on the S7E. On the Note 4 I had around 2-3 SOT ending my day with around 15-20% left (and thats with a new battery on the Note 4). Now, same usage I end the day with 40-50% battery left. The other thing, is the manual mode of the camera and the focusing speed of it. And finally, the speed. I am not talking about the CPU speed, but the speed of the internal storage. My phone was 2 years old and the nand started to get really slow. Updating the apps took a loooong time. The UFS storage on the S7E though, makes apps install and launch very very fast. Its a difference you will notice immediately. Of course you have the waterproofing, the bottom speaker and some other gimmicks.

Two things I do not like, is that the camera now isnt 16:9 by default, so I have to look at pictures with two black bars at the side and that I have to be a lot more careful with the phone, since even a good case might not protect it that well (I have the spigen armor).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shaolin36:
I doubt it buddy because I think that was a feature of KK/LP (which the older devices N4/S5 etc have carried over into MM). Don't take my word for it though. There's probably a third party app somewhere that uses a custom status bar with that feature but most of those non-root apps are horrible!

If you are rooted, trying looking at some Xposed modules, they usually accommodate that kind of feature. I wouldn't be able to recommend you any because I am not rooted, just talking from experience with my old S5 :)
