[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Accessories] Sunjay140:
I have recently gained possession of an Xperia Z3+ but I can't get it to charge properly (or at all at the moment). It kinda charges when every USB cable that I have used so far is far way into the USB port. I was told that the Z3+ uses cables with metallic ends that are slightly longer than the usual micro usb cable but I'm not sure about that.

The usb port does seem a bit deeper than other phones but I'd like some reassurance...

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Accessories] schumifer:
My normal and old micro usb cables do the job just fine. If you feel that the plug is not going deep enough then you can cut a piece of the rubber-plastic around the microusb plug and retry.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Accessories] double b26:
Yeah it uses a standard mirco USB sync cable. Id try cleaning out the charge port. You can kinda pick around in there to extract any lint that might be packed down in there, preventing the cable from seating properly. Then swab with 91% alcohol to clean the contacts on the charge ports. Try a few known-good cables and see if it helped out. Of course make sure the port is dry before testing. There are some videos on YouTube about cleaning the port that you might chrck out also

the touchscreen is acting up real bad i have to touch like 20 times for it work sometime it dont work at all
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] happytytn2user:
is your phone new? if so how new? take it back to where you purchased it from. did it come into contact with any water? water damage is a *****. do you have insurance? if so make a claim on defective handset

hope this helps

i got used and i cant returen it
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MetroKnight:
I had the same issue after my phone came into contact with bubble solution in my niece's purse. The screen seemed to work randomly for a while and eventually it went all bad. Now I feel like I have a smartphone without the nice resolution! Sorry, I don't think it gets better from here. My phone was also not returnable since I got it on ebay.

Tested it on Nexus 5 and LineageOS, and it actually works.

Of course loading times and performance lack a bit, but it still works more or less on an enjoyable level, controller pairs and works nicely, etc. Could be handy for testing, cool stuff.

Thank-you a lot got your help.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately I can not find any information on your device, the only way to upgrade would be to make your own rom. There is an excellent guide here

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] johnblundon:
Hi guys,

SO I have no idea how to solve this issue. I'm running Viper ROM and everything works perfect, if I switch to any other ROM Resurrection Remix, Dirty Unicorns, AIPC it installs fine and boots no problem, but in the initial setup when I pick a wifi Network (or LTE) it sticks on the "Checking Network - adding a few finishing touches, this may take a minute (or something)" screen.

If I choose don't use network and setup later, the ROM boots fine but all google services Play store, Gmail, anything it goes to a white screen that says "error contacting Google servers - Please try again later"

I have NO Idea what to do, I have used RR ROM for quite a while a few releases back with no issues and I have a hunch my trouble started after Linage OS became a thing, everything seemed fine before that. If anyone has had this issue or can offer any help it would be really really appreciated!

I'm using a International HTC 10 on the canadian Bell network. I'm still using the MM firmwear but multiple people have confirmed these ROMS work fine on MM Firmwear.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks

John

I just installed Lineage OS, and have exactly the same problem. Can't complete "adding a few finishing touches" completing setup using network, if I skip that step and try to do anything needing a Google account I get the message about connecting to Google servers.

I did notice using adb logcat when I try to add a google account this message:

I've heard that different versions of Gapps will make a difference but I've tried them all... I have no Idea what to try. Are you on MM Firmwear?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] crpalmer:
Google apparently started rejecting devices with bogus device ids. I have changed, and will soon push, a change to fix that for lineage. Other ROMs will likely include all my changes in their next build.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] egren58:
I feel like this phone is a great phone for a small audience.. And that's for music lovers.. Other than that this phone is actually pretty bad... The camera is useless with all the grain.. The screen is horrible at night it bleeds out so much.. The UI is disgusting.. And OMG THE LAG IS ABSURD.. How they released a phone thats constatly lagging..

Tbh very disappointed I have never returned a phone in my life. And I buy almost every phone that's release... Now I have no option to switch to iphone 7 until I can find a pixel xl for a good deal...

T-Mobile 918h
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] evo4g63t:
Is this a joke? This phone is smooth as butter especially compared to the v10, you're either running it with a poorly performing sdcard or you've got a defect.

UI is disgusting? What it's like every other freaking phone. There are plenty of 3rd party launchers to change it as you see fit.

Camera I am unsure of since I haven't really used it much yet but I am sure its not horrible like you're claiming.

Either way good luck with whatever phone you choose next. I am being sincere if my phone was like that I'd change too but mine has been good so far.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] egren58:
Have you ever used a stock android phone such as a pixel or a nexus?..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] androiddiego:
Don't take this the wrong way. I'm just explaining my experience owning the phone since October so that you have more info about its capability.

Are you on a stock phone?

The rooting process and custom roms have allowed Dev's to fix many of the issues that existed on stock.

Lag?

Mine is fast as sh*t.

I came from the note 4 with one of the best custom roms (tx_dbs_tx) and this phone is much faster.

I'm on OvrDrive's rom and couldn't be happier. The latest update has the camera working faster and taking exceptional pictures. Better than my note 4.

Yes, the screen is not a sammy. When we are able to integrate kcal it will be close. I had kcal on an early rom version that really made the screen look good. Unfortunately, we have had problems with modifying the kernel, but I believe it is only a matter of time until it can be done safely.

I'm using a custom theme which looks great, especially at night. I don't spend a lot of time looking at my phone in a pitch black room, so I rarely see the bleed. This is the price you pay for a second screen, which I really like. I wouldn't trade the second screen for a phone without the second screen just to lose the bleed which I only see .01% of the time.

I got my wife an S7 edge. It is stock. Other than the great sammy screen, there is nothing that would make me consider trading my V20. I have so much more control over my phone than hers and can do much more.

If you are on stock, then maybe that is the problem. Rooted with a custom rom is great. If you aren't willing to go down that road, then, yes you should switch.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] egren58:
I am rooted. I have had the phone for about 10 days. I am on weta rom.. Is just I feel like this phone is phone is not the android experience I am used to.. I used the s7edge as well and did not like it either.. I am more of stock android. And I am starting to realize why people refuse to use anything but stock android.. I have had zero used for the second screen yeah it looks nice and I can see someone use it. But not me.. And the camera is. Really bad like dammed I think the nexus 6p takes netter pics. Selfies look like you have makeup.. Even with beauty turned off. AGAIN THIS IS MU EXPERIENCE.. Is my device defective?. Idk but highly doubt it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] planetbeen:
I understand with the camera. I came from the v10 (also tmobile) and I can't figure out why the camera on the v20 takes such blurry/water color grainy what ever you call it pictures sometimes. Still hoping it's a software fix because the hardware is there. Should be at least as good as the v10 if not better... And it's not.

As for lag, I don't get it. Mine was smooth and fast for a while but now it lags sometimes. Open a text and count to 5 while I wait to see when it feels like actually popping up.

Sometimes I'm typing and waiting for the letters to pop up.

Ugh.

I wonder if it could be blamed on my SD card... It's the 200gb card that came with the v10.

I use SwiftKey keyboard. Never had a problem with lag before so I don't think it's the keyboard's fault.

My v10 was doing the same thing with the stock text messaging app and it wasn't even set to save anything so I don't think it had to do with large files or anything.

I set it up as new so I didn't bring a bunch of junk from my other phone and I don't really have all that many apps. I don't use the Facebook app and I don't have any problems at all with battery draining. The battery is awesome!

But I do wish I could figure out the lag. It doesn't make any sense that it should take so much time to open up my text messages. I would be tempted to blame it on the fact that I told it not to delete them anymore but like I said, the V10 was doing it and that one was deleting everything all the time!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] egren58:
I have costumized every aspects to get as close as to what I am used to and no luck at all.. I really tried to give this phone shot.. But just not for me.. :(
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] egren58:
I think they are not doing very well in optimizing their software
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] androiddiego:
Ok, I get it. But why not give OrvDrive's rom a try since you are rooted? Can't hurt. His rom has the least complications of the others, not to bash them in any way. I appreciate the effort of all devs and know that behind the scene they are working together to some degree.

If you do find a better new phone, let me know. I might switch too.

Cheers.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] egren58:
Well I just ordered another pixel xl.. Since I lost my first one, But until then I will be using an iphone 7 plus.. And returning this back to T-Mobile...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] evo4g63t:
Well good luck man hope it all works out for you. The no external memory support and the ridiculous price point for the pixel is why I didn't choose it.

To be honest I would not be using the v20 if a workable modern Samsung Note were out but we are about 6 months out for that and my v10 got the dreaded boot loop so I had to have a phone. Pixel is too expensive for what it offers, Apple is a scumbag company that I absolutely do not support and the s series from samsung doesn't interest me.

I am a big fan of removable batteries too despite not really using a phone long enough to need to replace the battery but I love aftermarket battery packs. LG is the only one to offer this and it looks like it might be the final high end model to feature this (the g6 looks to be water proof)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] egren58:
I was skeptical about the pixel.. But I'll tell you this..just the pure android and smoothness of a pixel phone alone is worth it.. I had never run into a single issue with that phone. Always butter smooth and never had a fc on any apps

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] reaktor TuT:
Zero lag here. 3 months in. I'm using the H990DS model with no bloatware.

I also find the camera to be great. Love the wide angle lens as well. Not sure what you're smoking..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] egren58:
Camera great?. I s voted one of the worst camera of 2017 based on consumer..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] saboture:
Not sure why you think the camera takes poor quality pictures. This was taken with the wide angle camera (which most people think is generally terrible) in super low light, in situations where most phones would fail.

I'm also not sure what's bad about the UI? There are now a dozen or so themes that theme the actual system ui, and a trillion different launchers to theme your icons and app launcher.

No lag here. Over 60 user apps installed.

I use the second screen all the time for the quick flashlight access and for controlling Play Music when the phones docked in my car.

Your phone is either a dud, or you've got an app rampaging in the background somewhere.

Edit: ignore my broken TV. It somehow was cracked while wall mounting, and we handled it like it was the world's most valuable but brittle gem stone.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] evo4g63t:
The second screen is practically a requirement for me after a year with the v10, the music controls without turning on the phone is such a fantastic feature along with the quick function shortcuts.

I am going to definitely miss it if the v series turns into a non removable battery phone or the note 8 grabs my attention.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] StarCommand:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kcsevo:
That's what it is. You're use to stock google. So playing with a stock tmo will drive you crazy. I've been there plenty. But I have a TMO also and running WETA. My phone is blazing fast almost like my dam friend's iphone 7 plus. We put it side by side to test. I'm using L speed And the sound system.......OMG.....cannot be compared at all! I use to be a Sammy lover but Sammy is too busy trying to be apple and not Sammy. That annoys me like he'll cuz I hate the protruding home button. (made a lot of unwanted calls by mistake). My camera has been great, at least for what i want to do. Family pics. Enjoy your pixel. I actually want to check that out too but won't switch :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rowihel2012:
Just remove facebook and messenger apps from your v20 and your phone will fly again
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kcsevo:
And that TMO app.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rowihel2012:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rowihel2012:
I though my v20 is affected

But now I'm using facebook v101 and phone ultrs smooth with weta Rom
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kcsevo:
I literally removed everything that I could. I use l speed and tweaked it for battery and still crazy smooth. My phone is very responsive.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rowihel2012:

I think sd820 is really amazing

Very powerful than sd810

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bond32:
I came from the Nexus 6 which was arguably one of the best phones ever made in my opinion. I'd still be happy with it heck I miss it. But the V20 is just better in so many ways.

My opinion, the true strengths of the V20 are things like removable battery, LCD screen (no burn in), SD card slot, etc. Those things are virtually gone from New phones now days for whatever reason.

The days are gone (at least for me) of jumping phones every 4 months. I want a phone I know that will be future proof - how can I have a future proof phone where I can't change the battery which is the only true component that gets actual wear? Or no SD card slot?

Not knocking your decision, go buy whatever of course. Just some of my thoughts ?

Edit: my god man, you change phones a lot. You had like virtually every top end device at least once... You probably won't be happy with whatever one you hold on to. I say this because I've been in the exact same boat.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] egren58:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgymnop:
Can't blame you. I start to hate this phone. Since the last update the battery life is crap and the phone becomes sluggish quite often. Miss my Nexus 6P. I think this is my first and last LG. No I won't buy a Samsung either. Waiting for the Pixel 2. Sigh.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rowihel2012:
My v20 is very smooth and faster than my old nexus 6p

Do you have lag?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vanemburghj:
[MENTION=4179306]egren58[/MENTION] I am with you, the LG V20 as with most LG phones are niche at best and will never be mainstream for the various issues you describe. LG cell phone division hemorrhages money quarter after quarter to the point I don't know why they continue to make cell phones. Samsung is not perfect, galaxy note 7 ring a bell, however their worst devices far outperforms the V20. Honestly cannot wait to the galaxy S8 is out so I can get rid of the low end device.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rowihel2012:
Wow

The worst?

I have the device and my only Plame is front cam is bad
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgymnop:
Randomly. It can be really fast but then I have moments where everything is slightly delayed and I have really bad homescreen redraws when exciting apps.

But the battery drain is the worst....
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rowihel2012:
Do you still use facebook and messenger from google play?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgymnop:
Yes and Yes.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vanemburghj:
Yes, it is a low end phone they sell at elite prices, the only other device that does worst than LG at that is apple. Still think my old Note 4 does a better all around job than the V20. Yes the V20 has some gimmicks, but really those gimmicks are one trick ponies and just not worth the cash. IMO think once folks feel good about the S8 not blowing up in their pocket, there will be quite a few used V20s on the market. If that happens, that is a direct reflection on LG and their inability to produce a product that can compete at the elite level. Have to find the article, but LG did say the bump in V20 sales was directly related to the Note 7 failure. Which means prior to that, LG was not expecting to sell too many V20s.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rowihel2012:
i dont have any problems with my v20 it is great device

and run smooth and faster than my nexus 6p and note 5
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] evo4g63t:
Lol at low end phone at "elite" prices, please it hangs with the high end just like the other phones. It has the fastest processor available at development, it has double the capacity at the same price points as Samsung's Galaxy, has 4gb memory like other top end devices.

It is a top end device at "elite" prices. In fact it's better in certain aspects, removable battery and external memory (pixel has neither). So i have no idea where you get the idea its low end device from.

Frankly i feel like a moron for buying the major brands in the first place since the relatively less known brands are kicking out phones at 1/3 of the price of the major brands and running head to head in performance. (OnePlus 3t, Huawei Mate 9)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vanemburghj:
If that helps you sleep at night go with it, again once the masses believe the S8 will not blow up on them LG's sales will go right back to the bottom where they have been due to the low end products they produce. I put the V20 on par with the Huawei line of devices, however, LG charges elite prices for low end products.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bond32:
There's probably multiple versions of threads in every single file device forum that are identical to this. People are hard to please. I'd be willing to be those of you that wish you had a different device still wouldn't be happy.
