[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Gmobilize:
Dont you think i am aware of this? How does it help me? I have wrote ot in threads before and i write it again, this one was about the same thing happening even after warranty repair, and the cause is a faulty panel, i am sharing my warranty experience, i dont really understand why would you post these links? How is this helpful?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] aking007:
i think it would be interesting for all of us to know the period when it started to happen for the first time and then when exactly after the replacement?

I for myself got the screen replaced about 2 month ago having the screen burn issue as well. Phone IME starts with 604. Since the replacement no issue for me so far..but i am not so sure if it the problem is solved with that and the screen burn in starts again after a while again......
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Gmobilize:
Its indeed interesting as it really seems to not appear at the beginning, and once it shows up it starts to get more noticable over time, for example as i said, it occured after heavy using whats app for about 3hrs most of the time with auto brightness sometimes hitting the highest levels, right now i can notice the burn in, but its not at levels where it would become disturbing, ill see how it goes, if it progresses and so on..
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Icetea:
No, it was not visible for me reading your post, that you have get all informations about LG display issue.

i want to be sure, that you can see, that this is no individual case!

If you had read all of my linked threads, you should know...

...many people has this problem with different LG devices...

... it was recognized at LG G5 phones produced between march and jun. 2016 (see serial number starting with 604 up to 606)...

... there seems to be a new display without ghosting but with a little more power consumption recognized since serial number 609...

... it makes no difference witch country code your device was! all displays could be affected!

...that some users have installed "sFilter BlueLight" app to prevent this issue!

...as some users reports,it is not granted, that this issue never returns on changed displays because it seems to be a general fault...

Maybe that all this informations does not help to solve YOUR problem, but this is a forum for questions and answers ant i thought, that this informations could be helpful to know. But as it looks like,it seems that this will be for other users only!

So if you feel disturbed of me, feel free to set me to first position in top of your ignore list!;)

and at least: see my signature at 3.!:p
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Gmobilize:
Sorry, but to me the reply seemed non-friendly, as it would be addressed to a rookie user, who hasnt done his research, maybe im wrong about your post...

But overall, yes i have seen all those threads, and unfortunatley, as i have mentioned in some other LCD display threads, the app could basically be a temp fix for the issue, when its not at a disturbing level, as its a cause of a faulty panel.

At this point where my panel has been already replaced, i cant really keep track of its model.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] lolmensch:
Okay so lets go through this together.

A burn-in only happens with amoleds as this is permanent. We have LCD panels so we have image retention which is non-permanent.

A LCD is a liquid crystal display. Means you have a certain state of the crystals. When you apply a voltage the crystals rearrange themselves and block light. This is why we need a background illumination. Anyway once you use it for a longer period with a semi-static or a static picture (like whatsapp typing bar, google maps info boxes, keyboards etc) the crystals start to shift in their relaxed form towards another state. Blue light is due to its short wavelength energy consuming -> high voltage applied -> faster image retention.

That's why blue light filters do work to some extent. (With cf lumen and root you can adjust to use less blue instead of having an overlay draining additional energy)

This liquid crystal thingie is dependent on a lot of different parameters, that's why some get it faster and some slower. My 1,5k$ thinkpad has the same issue with the navigation bar being a persisting image after 10h+ of browsing.

TL:DR

So this is actually not a warranty issue. LG also returned phones unrepaired as this is the negative side of a lcd and considered standard behaviour. Go for an AMOLED the next time as they can't suffer from this, but once you have image burn-in you will never get rid of it. So doesn't really make a difference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_persistence (helpful for that burn in issue which a lot of people seem to get wrong)

Cheers
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Gmobilize:
Thanks for the interesting article on LCD artifacts, however, i wanted to say some things:

As my for my first panel, that got replaced, image retention was pretty hard, as when the phone got warmer, it became really disturbing and barely usable as the keyboard and status bar started to ghost on grey background apps such as xda, the only way was to let it cool down and wait till everything disappears, as soon as i started using my phone a bit longer, the problem resurfaced very quick. So it clearly wasnt a normal reaction. Just to add, no CF.lumen like apps were able to help back then.

My current replaced panel is showing only minor signs of this, it becomes more apparent on longer usage times with the same elements and the ghosting is barely visible with not so intense usage, so i hope that this wont eventually get stronger as before. As it would seem to be a natural usage reaction, i still consider this an issue however, cause none of my previous LCD phone had anything like it, not even my LG Gpad 8.3. So im gonna try to apply warranty again if needed, as repair services seem to be pretty helpful in my country at least, as long as they have spare panels in stock.

And about amoled, i think ill pass that for a while, i have seen enough samsung demo units in stores have serious homescreen burn-ins.

With LG G5 the quality really seems to be an issue, yes there maybe lucky people with good units and so, but overall it is pretty disappointing, as feature and hardware wise i really love this device.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Lauren G:
Hello everyone!

I just had a look at the new A5 2017 because I want to buy one for my mother and a feature that was very nice and useful was the active fingerprint reader. Just rest the finger on the home button and the device wakes right from the Always on Display.

I am running android N with the new Grace UX on my S7 Edge and i was wondering if there is a setting somewhere i can enable to be able to use this feature.

I know some people will think is useless, so is no need to comment for no reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] edan1979:
A5 with new hardware... soooo nope. We dont have that on s7 edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Lauren G:
That is sad. I was really liking the feature ,hope somneone will figure out how to add it later.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Szighy:
It's only a workaround, but downloading Always on Amoled from the Playstore is working just fine. Fingerprint is always on, no need to push it, and you get double tap to wake, plus other useful features. Definitely worth a try

[Chromebooks] tamametchi2016:
Hello,

I'm considering purchasing the Samsung Chromebook Plus when it gets released and I don't to get anything wrong considering I live in the EU and will be importing it from the USA shall I decide to make this purchase. What finally pushed to towards purchasing a Chromebook is Android Apps and Play Store availability. However, as I understand, the only folder Chrome OS and Android actually have in common and can both access in the Downloads folder, which means no access to microSD card. In any case, if a purchase a chromebook, I plan to put it in Developer Mode, for multiple reasons among which is the ability to install a APK. My question is : is it possible, when in Dev Mode, to create a symlink (the way you create a symlink in *NIX systems) in the Downloads folder that leads to the microSD card and access the external storage from Android Apps (one of the main reason I want to do that is sync Dropbox and OneDrive files to the microSD) ? I thought I read it was possible sometimes in late 2016 but I can't seem to find it anymore.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Chromebooks] tamametchi2016:
Wow thanks! That's not even very difficult (at least for read access). Only problem is when suspending. Maybe that could be solved by automating the process!

Do you know if it is possible to manually mount ext4 sd cards in chrome os ? I just thought you might be unable to write due to folder ownership but maybe setting it manually would help.

Do you what the unix username of Android user is ?

EDIT: SORRY ABOUT THE TITLE IT WAS MEANT TO BE UN-RETIREMENT

Hey guys,

I just brought my old Alpine out of retirement, It works OK except it was retired because I broke the sim card socket.

I was going to use it for tom-tom but just left it ignored for years. I fancy using it now as a way of having a nice moile internet browser around my house, (Via Bluetooth, possibly wireless eventually if I can justify the costs)

Its an old XDA2 Branded device and what I really want to do is

Upgrade the os to get all the latest driver versions even upgrade the OS from the standard if it is not having issues. all I need working is the BT and SD card reader really and as few bugs as possible.

I really want rid of all the O2 crap as well just the plain basic good software.

Any recommendations of what browser to use (is there a firefox mobile?) i considered opera as well.

any other ideas of cool little apps to make this a good device that will only use in hope to brose net ad a couple of games, perhaps have skype on it for example

any advice is welcome as I have been away from the scene for 2 years.

Thanks guys
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] deedee:
The quickest way i found to clear out the O2 garbage was to hard reset and then when it says "Custom application will be installed in 3 seconds", or something like that do a soft reset.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicdrshoon:
This has been driving me nuts for ages, and now I just use the battery to transfer my phone from one charger to another! But to be honest I haven't tried anything to fix it as yet.

It started with my phone shutting down when I took a few photos - now, if my phone gets down to 80% I expect it to shutdown. It won't fire back up until I put it on charge.

Occasionally when I try to turn it back on, it wont fire up, and the blue LED comes on and stays on until I charge it or take the battery out.

Occasionally it will reach 50%, but that would be a rare occasion! I do still have the original battery, which is now over two years old.

It's a great phone - if only the battery would last longer than 10 minutes under use! It hasn't been rooted or anything - it is as I got it from new.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heisenberg7:
A new battery is really cheap ( 15-25 usds) and probably would solve your problem.

There is no reason for this topic unless you have the original battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amar.B:
Your battery needs to be replaced..

Dial *#0228# this will reset the battery calibration. Charge it to 100%..

see if the problem still remains that means your battery is almost dead and expect a random shutdowns at anytime
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicdrshoon:
I understand that the battery is probably past it's best, but it was the fact that it states that it has lots of life left, and then acts as if it doesn't that throws me. That's the reason why I have posted this topic.

I've done this now. Thanks for the tip. It doesn't seem to have made any difference though so it's probably just the battery.

I just expected it to indicate the correct battery level in the battery level indicator.

You live and learn! Thanks for the replies.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesonaraujo:
Hello, guys!

So, here's the thing, I've bought a Moto X XT1058 from a friend recently. When I got it, I knew that the cameras and the volume down button weren't working. So yesterday I was messing around, trying to update to a modified ROM (it was on stock Android 5.1) to get the cameras working again. I unlocked the bootloader, everything was fine, but - don't judge me - I did something really wrong.

As I said, the volume down button wasn't working. I wanted to update to another ROM [Bliss-v6.4-ghost-OFFICIAL-20161211-1719], and I tried to do that through fastboot (I could get to the fastboot screen because it was rooted, so I used an app to reboot straight to the fastboot screen). So, here's the big mistake. I issued the following command:

fastboot flash system Bliss-v6.4-ghost-OFFICIAL-20161211-1719.zip

After that, I rebooted and all I got was the "Warning: Bootloader Unlocked" screen, and now it's stuck there forever.

I'll need to fix the volume down button now to get to recovery, as it is the only way to unbrick it now, I know that. All I need to know is if it can be fixed or is it beyond repair?

(PS: I bought it from a friend, the warranty is long gone, so I can't ask for another phone.)

Thanks for the attention.

Silicone and more rigid covers are becoming available for the Vernee Apollo. Make sure you don't get a Lite version as it wont fit.

Those looking for more range and are willing to mod, the Lenovo K5 Note is very similar in dimensions to the Apollo X25, but the headphone jack, volume and power buttons are slightly off. Modding a K5 Note case will require cutting holes for the headphone jack, buttons, speaker holes, and possibly for the flash. Clear covers will allow the flash to work.

At the moment I found these "bad" things about this phone:

3) you can't turn volume up or down if the screen is switched off
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
I've kind of hit a wall with modding the system image to root it. The system images I produce are just not compatible with flashing. They flash but no desktop runs on the phone. Tried both sparse and raws. and I've got the partition size correct. Mount point is set properly to "system" and they're ext4 images.

I'm building Chainfire's version of ext4_utils, specifically the make_ext4fs util. If that doesn't work then I'll build Google's version. Long process as you need SELinux headers which takes ages to install. There maybe a bug in older versions that's causing the trouble. Other thoughts, there maybe a different padding method or bit plane for storing file system nodes. I may need SELinux builds of executables just to get the job done as I did notice in a hex.diff that the original image has SELinux stamps in it. I need more investigation to know why that's so.

It would be nice if Cleopatra Bianchi chimed in if She knows the issue or has even been down this road before, so to speak.

You can easily restore the phone using the official zip rom. Place it on a micro sdcard and install via the Bootloader menu.

If you're destroyed your recovery partition but still have fastboot access then you can use the system image within the official rom to flash the system partition with a bit of modifications.
