[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kms108:
I have a samsung 2A and a SE 1.5A using them at work, they are not QC, but they do charge my phone pretty quick especially my xperia XP.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] @rbiter:
It is better to use a slower to prolong the longevity of the battery. You won't get more 'charge' from using a slower charge. I try to use slower chargers when I can. I usually use my Samsung 2A chargers and use my adaptive fast charging when I need quickness. The LG QC 3.0 does pretty well though. Battery doesn't get that hot but I'm quite sure it still isn't good for the longevity. Nonetheless, we have swappable batteries so I can use my AFC and LG QC 3 more often lime I do my note 4. My HTC m8 and moto x pure usually were used with 1A chargers most of the time unless I needed a super fast charge. Also, LG makes quality batteries. Probably why Samsung is switching to them until they figure out what the hell they did. Also, notice apple doesn't use quick charging technology. iPhone's battery tend to hold charges better until a out 18 Mo th period before user starts noticing appreciable decline. The peeps that put iPad chargers on iPhone's will see less longevity from their battery.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] apvikes28:
So I thought that QC3.0 was supposed to get you closer to 80% in 35 minutes, vs the 50-55 from qc2.0. So I also read that the factory charger that LG sent is a QC2.0 and not 3. So I bought a 3.0 brick and also a new usb c that is certified compliant with QC3.0. Still only got to about 40% in 30 minutes. Not sure what's going on with that. I understand longevity and all of that. However I got this phone because once my battery is shot I can just swap it. So I don't mind getting that faster time and buying a newer battery a bit early.

Best quick charge cable

Any recommendations on the best usb c cable for my LG V20. Some I have purchased do not quick charge as described.

Hi there, before now some people were having issues with the hotspot workarounds, where they could enable the hotspot but attached devices received no actual internet. I didn't do any polling but it seemed to be mostly a Sprint phenomenon, as after doing the magic hotspot trick most other people had no issues.

I just tested it, and the new root will get you functioning hotspot on Sprint, and possibly for other people too who were having the same problem. I ran the following code while the hotspot happened to be off, and after turning it back on I was able to get internet through it on other devices. If you try this with the hotspot already enabled please report back so we know if it needs to be either particular setting. Use a normal command line where you have adb.exe and run this command while the phone is on and no further action should be needed once you turn on the hotspot.

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0

Just having root itself has not enabled the normal hotspot switch locations, like in the notification drawer or in the tethering settings, and I still had to use the network refresh trick to get them to work. This may need another command to insert/change the correct protection setting, or something else entirely.

I also went back to the APN settings through the shortcut maker and received the same error I had before, about this user not being able to access them.

On a related note, I saw some people mention that their hotspot would automagically turn off after 10-20 minutes, so I'll post this now and keep an eye on whether it does so here, as I never watched before.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisinsocalif:
I used that code for my Nexus 5 on T-mobile without rooting. My Pixel is on back order and not able to test it on T-mobile. Is it necessary to root for only the phones on Sprint? Anyone test it on T-mobile (for native hotspot)?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] lafinjack:
Sorry, yes, I copied my post from a comment I made in another hotspot thread where the code was brought up and I tested it, but it didn't work for me without root. Some people were able to use hotspot after using a workaround, including Verizon, but it seemed like for Sprint doing that gave hotspot but no internet access. Once you get your phone I would check out that workaround comment, and if you have problems try the root command.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] darhoade:
Sprint Tether working now for me on adroid 7.1

I tried many things including the above..but none worked. I was able to root the system and what worked for me.

I followed these directions

Go here http://www.theandroidsoul.com/enabl...ing-pixel-and-pixel-xl-verizon-sprint-others/

Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC (link).

Download the CarrierEntitlement.apk file and save it to a separate folder on your PC.

Connect your Pixel phone to the PC.

Open a command window inside the folder where you saved CarrierEntitlement.apk file in Step 2 above. To do that, “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder and then select Open command window here from the context menu.

Once the command window is open, issue the following commands one-by-one disable provishning checks on your Pixel phone:

adb push CarrierEntitlement.apk /sdcard/CarrierEntitlement.apk

adb shell

su

└ You may get a prompt on your phone to grant root access, accept it.

mkdir /su/CarrierEntitlement

cp /sdcard/CarrierEntitlement.apk /su/CarrierEntitlement/CarrierEntitlement.apk

chmod 644 /su/CarrierEntitlement/CarrierEntitlement.apk

echo "mount -o bind /su/CarrierEntitlement/CarrierEntitlement.apk /system/priv-app/CarrierEntitlement/CarrierEntitlement.apk" > /su/su.d/05TetherMod

chmod +x /su/su.d/05TetherMod

reboot

Your phone will now reboot. Once that is done, go to Settings » More » Tethering & portable hotspot » and enable Portable WiFi hotspot. It should work.

I found this did work to enable the wifi hotspot app but this didnt let the computer connected browse the internet.

I then found this and now im able to browse on a computer connected to my hotspot

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/enable-tethering-nougat-alongside-android-pay/

I only used this part

Download/install a Terminal emulator app from Play Store (link →).

Make sure the terminal asked for rights when typing su because you have to grant it before it works correctly

Open Terminal emulator on your device and issue the following commands one-by-one:

su

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

exit

Now my computer connected to the hotspot worked perfect and im very happy.

but i think if you follow this you can get it working right away without my above stuff.

Root your Android device running on Android 7.1 Nougat.

Edit build.prop file: Add the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line to the bottom of build.prop file on your Android device. Use the link below for help with editing build.prop file.

How to edit build.prop on a rooted Android device

Reboot device after saving changes to build.prop file.

Download/install a Terminal emulator app from Play Store (link →).

Open Terminal emulator on your device and issue the following commands one-by-one:

su

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

exit

└ Grant root access to the app when asked.

Reboot device.

That’s it. You should have Tethering enabled on your Android 7.1 Nougat running device now.

I hope this helps as I haven't found this info in one area on here and sorry if it is but I didnt find it.

This didn't work for me. Any other ideas. Says hotspot service not provided? I can't even switch it on?

An easier command to type that does the same thing is:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] estema05:
I recently purchased a Note 5 from Sprint on eBay. The phone was taken directly to the carrier I now have and I did not get the chance to check it before it was taken to Cleartalk. I got the phone yesterday and the phone was working perfectly as well as the 4G but when I decided to turn on the Hotspot there was no option for Hotspot!!! Also, I realized that the phone didn't have any applications from Sprint that Sprint phones have and that you cannot uninstall. I took it back to my carrier and they said that they cannot remove the hotspot option, that the phone doesn't have that option. So they pretty much turned me down... I also tried downloading apps that would allow me to share my internet like hotspot and there was an error. I ended up resetting the phone and now I don't have Internet which that will be fixed Monday when I take it back to cleartalk, but any idea why my phone is sprint but doesn't have any sprint features??

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] vitimilocity:
I have the same problem but because I cracked my phone they won't exchange it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ycats:
I wonder if the phone was rooted and the previous owner deleted a lot of the Sprint apps and such. You might be able to run through the steps of rerooting the phone and install a stock rom that would have all of the necessary apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] henderjr:
OR use ODIN to flash the latest sprint stock firmware. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/106117/N920PVPU2BPH9_N920PSPT2BPH9_SPR/

edit: this download is probably quicker. PH9 is the latest. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/byye3kocz6nn4/Stock Roms Note 5
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] azutel:
just download FoxFi app and key from blackmart alpha...works the same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] thebluewiggle:
I've been searching the net like crazy to try and fix this issue, I tried a bunch of apps and also tweaks within db files etc, the only thing that worked for me was to run Easy Tether Pro and plug it into my PC with a usb cable. Doesn't exactly fix it for every situation but it got me running again. One page I found suggested that it was an activation issue that causes the hotspot option to disappear. The guy that worked this out had his phone reactivated with the carrier and it started working again. I think I probably have the same phone as the OP, it's unlocked but because it was originally activated with Sprint it isn't a fully functioning phone. I'm also having a couple of other issues that I'll reserve for a separate post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] TorqTube01:
What are u trying to get tethering w/o your cable. If you have Sprint it's apn is greyed out. Use sql editor and edit the apn. Then ur good to go - edit telephony.db, i believe.

If it doesn't work PM, I will shoot you my number.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] thebluewiggle:
Nah tried that. It's not related to the APN, it's related to the hotspot and tethering function being missing altogether from the phone. Any tweaking in the telephony.db file has no effect for me.

Anyway I bit the bullet and am returning the phone for a refund. Just can't be bothered wasting any more time on it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] TorqTube01:
If you don't mind, what is the issue. I assumed that you wanted some kind of tethering. You were saying about using the cable to tether.

Sent from my Portable
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] thebluewiggle:
Exactly the same issue as the OP. The option for Hotspot is missing from the "connections" section in settings. It's possible to get to it, some 3rd party apps need it switched on and will take me to the "hotspot and tethering" window to switch it on, but it's greyed out and has no options within it. As I said, the only way I could get it to provide my computer with internet was to use Easy Tether Pro, with a USB cable. Far from ideal. I tried rooting, stuffing around with the db file, factory reset, downgrading to Android 5, nothing worked. So back goes the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tugix1:
First of all thanks to Master Chainfire for the root Access! Before root you couldn't unlock the device with fingerprint after Locking per Double Tap with Nova. Now it works like a charn!

Hope it is useful.

Hey fellow Androiders

I hope you don't mind me reaching out to this forum, with a question.

We are hoping to get some advice from someone who has experience with Android SensorManager. Currently, we are in the process of Beta testing our app and find that we get vastly different readings from device sensors depending on the manufacturer and type device type.

Is there a way or a function that would normalizes the data? so that it appears to be the the same or similar on all devices.

Thank you in advance

Andrew

yo!

dunno what ive done but ive lost that little bar at the top of the start menu - you know, the one with just icons of recently opened programs anyone know how to get it back?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
Maybe my eyes but I have never seen the old WM5 top bar on my WM6 TyTnII??

edit..

Actually its not only my eyes its my memory also. I think you have to go back to WinCE for them on a PPC. Unless you have a WM Smartphone then they are at the top!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fusi:
the small horizontal row of icons right at the top of the start menu when you press the start button? im sure it was there earlier today!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jcwacky:
They are the programs that have been set to always show in the start menu. They only appear as a horizontal list of icons when in landscape mode so that they all fit in. In landscape mode they appear in a vertical list with text labels like the rest of the items in the menu.

You can choose which icons appear by going to Start -> Settings -> Menus.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] davynor:
Those only show up in landscape mode. In portrait, the full list with titles is displayed.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] arn82:
Tried pairing the v20 to my UE Boom using NFC and it wouldn't work, so I thought maybe it's the speakers. I tried with a different phone and it worked just fine. Tested again by trying to share via NFC on the V20 and it still won't work. Any thoughts?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Pick_A_Name:
now that you mention it, yeah. When I was setting up the phone I used LG's transfer app, which works with NFC and Wi-Fi to transfer old settings and apps to the new device. It never worked. It's possible the NFC didn't work. I'll have to test it on something else known working.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Koont:
Yeah. Tried to transfer an app from my G3 and couldn't do it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] masondoctorjt:
I was able to do it from my V10. But I think the nfc antenna is close to the top of the phone in the camera bump, and not the middle like most. Try holding the camera bump to your speaker or middle of the back of your phones and see if it works. I just tested with my galaxy prime and sure enough, back to back doesn't work, but if I slide the V10 down to where the camera bump is in the center of the back of my other phone, it works.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] SILVERGOOSE:
I'm starting this poll to get the attention of developers around the XDA community and with your help lets make noise, and provide help *if needed* so we can be able to flash our precious device as well as from the other carriers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
We can already flash with Flashfire and TWRP is not possible being that the bootloader is locked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] SILVERGOOSE:
Thanks, but that is why I open this poll, i feel with TWRP we can install other roms beside echoe. How can we contribute to unlocked the bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
It can't be unlocked and that has nothing to do with flashing other roms. We just don't have any development. The only difference between Flashfire and TWRP is that Flashfire requires root
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] LeftyGR:
While we all appreciate the reasoning behind your efforts, I can [presumably] speak for all of us and say we would all like to see this.

And currently, no amount of exposure to what we want will change the fact that we can't have it. Our bootloader is locked so tight, it could make diamonds outta coal. All US variants are in the same boat. Samsung doesn't care. Qualcomm doesn't care. Carriers don't care. We've got all we're gonna get. But thanks anyways.

Probably go HTC next time around...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] SILVERGOOSE:
Thanks for the input. is just depressing going into other forums and not having the same capabilities even tho is the "same" device. but hope to see other roms in the future and I guess flash it thru flashfire. I hope to see more advance users like you and Soooperstar on this forum maybe joining Ideas to build a master piece rom :). Thanks, I guess back to playing clash royale..lol

I just did this with my Xiaomi Mi 5S in order to flash Chinese ROM to the new Global Stable ROM. Since I did not have Unlocked bootloader I used your method, created myself a cable and it all went just like your manual said. Helped me plenty. So I confirm the guide it is great. I am even thinking of borrowing this post to post it as a Guide how to flash Chinese ROM to Global Stable which is actually an issue since, the Chinese ROM does not support flashing via Update method, so it would require unlock.
