correction: apparently LG Messaging and Verizon Message+ both work. Google Messenger and Google Hangouts do not. Guess I'll try some other 3rd party apps...

I've used Textra on my VZW V20 since day one.. ZERO issues.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] LiquidHonesty:
GOSMS works, as long as you have it set to "legacy".

What's maddening is Textra used to work fine, but then just stopped. :(

UPDATE: Uninstalled all 3rd party messaging apps, rebooted, reinstalled Textra.......working again. YAHOO!!!!!!!!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocook2000:
So my G2 has a cracked screen and it used to think that i was tapping something when I wasn't and being all weird and dumb. Fortunately my Dad realized that i did not want to use the backup iPhone 4 so he used his upgrade so I could use his Nexus 5. Well my Nexus 5 was working fine till the screen blacked out and so I decided to start messing with the G2. After about a day of use it manage to stop being dumb so my screen works perfectly however the battery is being weird. it seems when it gets to around 60% it just shuts off and when I reboot it it says that it's at like 15% then it would just shut off again. I've used it today and the attached image shows that not only did it drop but it also went back up twice now and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I really want to get this fixed so that I can use it with service instead of the very outdated iPhone 4. Now it just died and won't reboot fully without dying again. Ok it showed the lockscreen for a second and it said it was at 21%
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jan Philipp:
I guess you dropped it, right? There could be something disconnected inside. If you are brave and it won't be a loss (in case you break it ;) just remove the back cover and take a look. Videos how to remove the cover can be found at youtube.

[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
After doing this so many times I have come up with a method that works pretty consistently.

It will not work the first couple of tries.

But after you do get it to work the first time it will be easy to get temp root again even after a reboot.

Initially I think 5 attempts to root or less. After rooting usually 1 or 2 attempts.

Follow the steps exactly as I have them here.

Step # 1 Download KingOroot to your computer.

https://www.kingoapp.com/

Step # 2 Download KingO SuperUser to your computer.

https://superuser.kingoapp.com/

Step # 3 Install KingoRoot On your Computer

Step # 4 Install Kingo Super User On the phone

Open up a terminal window to use adb.

cd into the directory where the kingo super user is at.

adb install KingoUser.apk

Open up kingo super user on the phone. Hit accept when the warning pops up.

When anything other than kingolink or superuser are showing on the phone screen just hit the home key.

Open 2 treminal windows.

We need to run adb at the same time KingoRoot is running.

Step # 5 Things To Watch For Wile Running Kingo

The phone has to be connected to wi-fi or data.

The computer must be connected to the internet.

If during running kingo you see wi-fi on your phone turn off.

Try to turn it back on.

If you cant power the phone off and let it restart.

Let kingo finish even thoug it will fail. If wi-fi goes off or the phone reboots during running kingo it will fail.

Step # 6 The Trick To Getting Root

After you have run kingo root a few times you will notice it starts to settle down.

It will start to get stuck between 50% and 65%.

Noe get ready cause this time were gonna get it.

Make sure you have 2 terminal windows open.

Open kingo root but dont click root yet.

Open Kingo superuser on the phone.

Now click root on kingo root.

Let it run waiting till it hangs up a bit at 50% or more.

In one terminal window type

adb shell
su

If it says Error su not found.

Then it's not ready yet.

Keep typing su every few seconds.

Sooner or later it will not give an error but it will freeze up in the terminal window.

As soon as su hangs up in the first terminal do this.

Go on the phone and go to your main apps by hitting the square dots.

Uninstall kingo superuser.

After superuser is uninstalled go to the second terminal.

Type

adb shell
su

Now you should have root.

Close kingoroot on the computer.

Don't let it finish.

Allways remember to install kingosuperuser open it and start kingoroot.

When su in terminal freezes uninstall kingosuperuser.

open up root shell in the second window.

This only works for shell access.
[HTC Desire 526] belindam:
To easily root any phone you don't download anything. You go in settings about phone and look for build number and tap seven times.
[HTC Desire 526] Shuudoushi:
That's not root... That's dev options... There is a HUGE difference between the two. E.x. with root, you can uninstall any app, doesn't matter what it is.
[HTC Desire 526] rfunderburk39:
After going through the steps of rooting via KingORoot, and the terminal displaying I have root. I think its a false positive.
[HTC Desire 526] rfunderburk39:
I still experience only partial root, via a terminal/command window (verified on both Windows 7 & Ubuntu 16.04 machines). It seems that after going through the OP I get su installed in /sbin/su but I do not get a true root or temp root. I can access system files, but can not use them, as the system is set RO. I would assume the problem being the SuperSU.apk not being installed, which does not allow prompts to give various apps, terminal request, etc... a prompt to authorize SuperUser permissions.

I'm going to do a factory reset and give KingORoot another try. One thing I've noticed in the multiple attempts, when I run KingORoot, my device never hangs at the 50% mark, for that matter it doesn't hang. It just steps through the installation and will complete quite quickly. Maybe a different in KingORoot versions, OS, or something inside the device (MetroPCS/VZW/etc).
[HTC Desire 526] rfunderburk39:
After a factory reset I decided to give Kingroot (device only install), it too reports 100% and a rooted device. When I use "adb shell" & "su" I now received a prompt on the device to authorize root access. The adb shell will not mount the system in RW. But when I install any app requiring root access prompt, it fails to pop up the request. So no apps I've tried have asked to grant access has failed, Titanium Backup, Root Essentials, Terminal Emulator, BusyBox Pro, etc... So not much can be accomplished beyond that point.
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
[MENTION=3157339]rfunderburk39[/MENTION]

You are partially correct.

The root will only work for adb shell commands.

There is a fix for the system RW.

an Echo command.

I have to find it.

Anyway you can pull partitions and flash a few of them.
[HTC Desire 526] rfunderburk39:
Ok, Thanks if you can find it, I would appreciate that ability. To have the ability to test a few other ideas I have.

Here is how i unlock the bootloader on my s-off 526.

I'm running a RUU that allows unlocking of the bootloader.

If we can get the files we need off this unlocked device I have.

And get them on your locked devices.

It would do the trick.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
OOps, sorry. It's before we had .cab installers!!

DOH! (shows how old it is..)

Unzip the files on your PC then copy the folder on to your phone using the Mobile Device link when connected via USB cable and Activesync.

Copy it into 'Mobile device' 'My windows Mobile-Based Device' 'Program files' ... whilst this is open, enter the ICBM-PocketPC-ARM directory that you have just copied and right-click and copy the main .exe file. Then go to the Windows directory of your phone (still on the PC!), 'Start Menu' 'Programs' 'Games' folder, right click your mouse and paste the shortcut (rename it how you want) the icon will appear in you programs menu! :)

After doing a full reset on my phone using Mobile Upgrade Q (which successfully removed CM and TWRP from my phone) I get an error message when trying to set up Android saying "sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device." I've only ever used one google account with this device, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Its factory reset protection, you have to log in with the google account associated with the phone prior to reset.... To avoid this in future or if you sell phone just remove your Google account in settings... accounts before factory reset... It's the equivalent of iCloud locking on Apple, designed to cut down on theft.... If you cant remember the password you can go to the Google account recovery page for assistance

https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] passaloutre:
I don't understand. I WAS logged into the account prior to the reset, on CM. It's the only account I've ever used on this phone, and I haven't changed the password.

How do I unlock it? Is it even possible, or does it think I stole the phone?

Is it possible to reinstall TWRP and CM now? Just to have a useable phone?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
If you reset it any other way than from settings reset phone (i.e. Recovery mode or something like mobile upgrade Q) without first removing your Google acct your locked out for 24 hours(used to be 72 hours).
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] passaloutre:
But if it locked me out with the correct information, how can I be sure it will let me in after 24 hours?

Here is a writeup on how and why frp works like it does....

http://www.pcnexus.net/2015/12/what...gle-72-hour-lockout-android-lollipop.html?m=1

There are some hacks around it, but I have never tried them, best method to avoid frp headaches is to simply remove your Google acct prior to any reset
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] passaloutre:
Is there anything special I have to do to login in 24 hours? Is it 24 hours from the first time I reset or the last time I reset (I wiped it a few times trying to get in)?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] passaloutre:
Thank you for the link. Just to be clear, in case future people ever find this thread: during the 24 hour lock out, you cannot unlock the phone, EVEN WITH THE CORRECT ACCOUNT NAME AND PASSWORD. Oddly enough, the device can still receive phone calls, and displays the caller's contact name. So it's definitely logged into my account, it's just locked out of doing anything except receiving calls. Also, I can hear that the phone is receiving text messages, though I have no way to read or reply to them.

Once I unlock it, I will update this thread with how and what it looks like, again, just in case someone finds this thread in the future, because this information is hard to find.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dereks1989:

I have the same issue were you able to unlock it? The only way I got back in was by installing cm12.1 but I would like to go back to stock.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] passaloutre:
Yes. 24 hours after my last reset, I was able to log in and unlock the phone.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Before running mobile upgrade Q just remove your Google account in settings, I believe that will allow you to safely reset without triggering FRP...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dereks1989:

You know what, I just happened to be looking for the official Alcatel factory flash tool and came across this post because after a few factory resets I was able to get the phone to boot up......BUT, as described above, the phone will only accept the PREVIOUS password which I forgot.... I simply requested a new password be created and it doesn't unlock the phone.

So now I too must wait 24, wow.

This is BS.. I mean, yeah I factory reset the phone because after my son accepted a system update, his phone kept bootlooping and his battery doesn't want to accept a charge now (so it seems per the display).....but what if I want to sell my phone? We have to remove the gmail account prior??????? Wow way to go Alcatel. And if this is actually an Android feature, it sucks.

Now, can anyone direct me to the actual official Alcatel upgrade tool????? I want to just flash this stock unrooted phone to out of box condition so we can trade his phone in. The Alcatel website no longer offers it from what I can see. Thanks!
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
It's an android security feature introduced in 5.1 LP, it only triggers the wait if you reset any way other than from settings. It's similiar to an iCloud lock, so yes if you sell phone remove google account, or if your buying a used phone make sure the google account is removed prior to reset, or boot up phone and make sure you can get passed the lockout before buying it!!

I just got this flip case the other day and I was going to create a post about it so I'm glad I saw this one, I'm literally shocked by how nice it is and just how much I like it! If anyone is coming from Samsung phones and had gotten used to the oem flip case like I was.. this is probably the flip case you're looking for! It's obviously not exactly the same of course but it's close enough imo and it definitely has a more premium feel to it, and on mine at least another nice bonus was there was no break-in period needed in order to get the flip to stay closed when you shut it. Anyway those are just my opinions on the case because I'm definitely happy with it, and I got mine off of Amazon prime for $11.99 shipped which is just a steal for this quality of a case!

I have one and mine doesn't feel or look like leather. It's one of my favorite cases though.
[LG V20 Accessories] jeep447:
I'm not trying to say you're "wrong" or anything just to clarify but I was just surprised to hear someone say that about this case, because when I first got mine I was basically shocked by how much it looked and felt like real leather. I wonder if maybe it's just a quality control issue or something and if it is then I guess I just got lucky, but like you said it's my favorite case too and imo it's one of (if not the) best flip cases available for this phone.

[LG V20 Accessories] Swizzle82:
Got this case cause I'm broke af right now. I've used the Lg oem flip cases on every Lg phone since the G2.. This is my first cheapo.. Honestly, it's way nicer than the oem's.. It adds much better protection on the sides and screen than the others and has pretty good grip. The finger sensor is a little bulky and could use some refining. The cc holder is just stupid and I'll never useit. Like I'm gonna put a cc up against my screen and ruin it. Other than that it feels much more premium, even with the fake leather. For 10 dollars on Amazon with free 2 day shipping, not complaining at all.

Definitely pu leather. Even says it on Amazon's website.
