[Xperia Z3v General] tbtregenza:
I'm looking to move on from the Z3v in the near future. I'm curious what phones others have moved on to. I'm looking at the Moto G4 Plus possibly with 4GB RAM and 64 GB on board.

I'm trying to keep my budget to <$300. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I moved onto the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but that was because of a BOGO deal last year.

Are you locked down to Verizon or do you have another carrier? If I were you being on Verizon, I'd take advantage of this offer today: https://www.verizonwireless.com/smartphones/moto-z-play-droid/

The Moto Z is a truly modular phone that LG failed for its G5 to become. This is the Play version, but I'd rather much prefer the Force version as it has a bigger battery, better camera, and shatterproof screen tech. Either version comes with 32GBs, which isn't a problem to deal with when you can have expandable memory. It's not waterproof like the Z3v, but it's still splash resistant so I think streaming it in the sink won't do any harm if you want a quick clean. lol
[Xperia Z3v General] tbtregenza:
Appreciate the response. I have an S7 for work which I really like, and I'm tracking the Edge on Swappa. I do like this phone. Unfortunately, I am locked to VZ, and that Moto Z Play Droid offer, which I was on the verge of ordering yesterday, is for new lines only...so regular price is $17/mo ($408 total) and that is just too rich for what I consider a "compromise" phone. I can get a mint condition S7 on Swappa for $330 or so, which is clearly superior.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Oh, it's always those fine print words that gets you. I forgot to even think that you have to get a new line to take advantage of the discounted price. If I read and knew about it, I wouldn't have recommended it to you.

For a mint condition S7, that's pretty good for $330. The flat version allows you better accessorizing like tempered glass and more variety of cases. Definitely make a go for it.
[Xperia Z3v General] kentompkins:
I tried out the LG G6 for a week. Then, I got on Ebay and I ordered a new, in box Z3v. Why? Because this phone cannot be beat. I'd move to AT&T and get a newer Xperia if it wasn't such a hassle or cost so much. After my screen kept registering a touch (after 3 years of working fine) I had to replace my original Z3v. I could keep the LG G6. It just wasn't $600 worth of improvement. In fact, the lack of the front facing stereo speakers was so annoying that that's what did it in for me. Maybe it was faster (I couldn't notice). Maybe it was on a newer Android version (There were a few neat improvements there.) Maybe it had a better camera (Again, after using Xposed to set my default auto to 20MP - I couldn't notice it.) Maybe it has better resolution (It must just be me but I couldn't see any improvement from full 1080 on the Z3v versus the LG G6. Maybe my eyes just can't see pixels any smaller than 1080).

So - to make a long story short- I walk into to Verizon to turn in my LG G6 before I couldn't and they were like "why?" And I was like because it's worse than what I replaced. I got what I had had on Ebay for $120 and I'm perfectly happy with it. They were like "What was it?" And I said a Sony Z3v and they were like "Yeah, you Sony people love your phones, don't you."

Yes, yes we do.
[Xperia Z3v General] pchain:
The front facing stereo speakers, flawless performance and still excellent battery life are hard to walk away from. Keeping it until another phone with stereo front facing speakers is available. Too bad people gave this phone such a bad rap an Verizon didn't support it. It was/is the perhaps the best phone Verizon possibly ever carried.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I'm a bit surprised you haven't moved on yet. Battery life still holding up as great as what you had before?
[Xperia Z3v General] pchain:
Actually I'm surprised I haven't moved on yet too! The battery life is still good... I'm still getting about 5 hours screen on time. My phone is no longer waterproof however as a couple of the flap/covers are missing...lol. My options are a little limited on Verizon for a replacement... don't like Samsung curved edge devices and Moto mods are not my thing. G6 looks OK but my Z3v still works perfectly fine so I'm not sure I want to give up yet. Hoping the Pixel 2 or Note 8 will trip my trigger. What do you have now?
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I have the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The S8/S8+ curves are perfection because the S7 Edge's are way too curvey, but I guess I'll wait to upgrade later.

That's pretty great you still have 5 hours of SOT. I'm not getting anywhere near that unless I just watch movies on my S7 Edge because of how poorly optimized Samsung is with their software. I only find it problematic that the Z3v can't go into Marshmallow because the 801 chips are supposed to be able to do it. Doze mode is really helpful with that.

The Note 8 is a definite must with all its bells and whistles. The Pixel 2 is something I would have to see when they announce it because the Pixel 1's design language looks bland. The G6 seems like the reasonable upgrade from the Z3v, but the UI is different for my taste and you have to be weary of LG's bootloop issue.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
I've moved on to the Note 8.

I have the S8+, but the edges and corners are too rounded. The extras, like the dual camera, more RAM and the Spen are great. I definitely love the form factor of the Note 8 over the S8+.

I am NOT a fan of the beveled edges! And the lack of stereo speakers is tough to take on such expensive models that are otherwise so feature rich.

Meanwhile, I am buying new batteries, adhesive gaskets and glass backs for both Z3Vs, which are in brand-new shape.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Aha, I've moved onto the Note 8. Once on the Note, I don't think I could ever go back to another smartphone. The S Pen is a jewel and the form factor is definitely a step up above the S7 Edge I had before and the S8/S8+. Albeit it is quite a tall phone though.

My Z3V is just sitting on my desk, reverted to factory image and all. Why buy new parts in repairing it though?
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
The batteries have crapped out. To replace them is a nightmare that involves removing the glass back with a heat gun. On videos I've seen, the adhesive gasket is unsalvageable. And since the back is glass, I figure there is a good chance of breaking it.

The parts are cheap, and both of my Z3Vs are in perfect shape with their boxes.

I'm fondly recalling my z3v while I enjoy writing this post with the S pen on my Noto 8. Ressurection of the Z3V is really all about the stereo speakers!

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] starspun:
Hi all!

**EDIT** It is a US996, not an H996, my mistake!****

Ok I am so confused on what to do and hope I can get some insight here:)

I ordered an LG V20 unlocked from Amazon.com. I fell in love with the phone but within a couple of days it started to develop vertical lines on a portion of the screen. LG can take it in and fix it but I find it's easier to do a return to Amazon. I ordered another and it arrived before I returned the other one.

However!

This one, under the same listing, is a LOCKED T-Mobile version, model H918.

My previous unlocked one is H996.

Geeez!

So my dilemma. I am in the US and return to Canada for the summers. I am with Freedom Mobile (once Wind Mobile) who now is LTE (band 66). When I received my first V20 from Amazon I called LG to inquire if my model H996 would work with them, and if it had band 66....because everywhere online it said it hadn't. I was informed it did indeed have band 66 now....even if it doesn't say it on their site or anywhere else online!

I know from research that H918 has band 66.....but....

1. This replacement cost me 80 more on Amazon

2. I'd have to get it unlocked

3. I very much dislike all this T-Mobile stuff on it that I will not use

4. Probably the worst thing is the T-Mobile Start up. I loved my normal H996 LG start up. I know silly, but true!

So I guess my questions are....

A. Does anyone know about this band 66 thing? I am going to call LG again to confirm that the H996 will work if I have it fixed.

B. Does the H918 have anything that the H996 doesn't have? I've researched on here and apparently it has an FM radio....and more roms available.

C. If I keep the H918 and decide to root it....are there roms that can change the start up into something else other than T-Mobile?

Thanks in advance:)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] crazyut:
The H918 (and some other models as well) have the Band IV or AWS or 1700/1900 on the 3G/3G+/HSPA/HSPA+ frequency set (this Band IV in the 3G band only affects 3G). T-mobile uses Band IV on it's 3G network as well as the same 3G bands as AT&T, Bell, ROGERS, Telus (and Canada's little three including Koodo, Virgin Mobile, and FIDO) (for a long while, T-mobile only had the Band IV in 3G set which is why T-mobile needed it's own phone (but most of this has been replaced by LTE (4G, 4G LTE).

The Band 66 serves as one of the LTE bands on T-mobile and Freedom Mobile in Canada (western Canada only at this point) while LTE Band IV serves eastern Canada on Freedom.

If you are the type that likes to customize your ROMS, you will want a phone BOOTLOADER unlocked or BOOTLOADER unlockable like the T-mobile LG V20, G5, and other phones.

The problem with T-mobile phones in regards to SIM unlocking (i.e. using a ROGERS or EE or Orange SIM) is that the use a Device Unlock app (this has several requirements that have to be met before the phone can be unlocked. One of which it has to be on the T-mobile network for 40 days before it's even eligible).

See http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_v20-8238.php for the details of the various models but it looks like that:

Both the H918 and US996 (not sure if that is the same as H996) have that particular 3G Band (so both will work on T-mobile and Freedom (that uses BAND IV exclusively for it's 3G).

So far, the H918 (T-mobile) and the H915 (Freedom) band 66 are not accessible (I'm guessing a future software update will fix that).

The Freedom Mobile version is not BOOTLOADER unlockable (I already tried) though if someone has found another way to get root, then you should be able to put on custom roms or delete the things from the stock rom you don't like or use (I usually do the latter).

The H918 does have FM radio (not sure about the H915 or other models; otherwise, should be basically same (except the phone radio which determines the frequencies and networks you can access).

Hope this helps.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] starspun:
Oh wow! Thanks so much for the info, I had to read it a couple of times to understand....it's all so confusing!

So basically, I should be sending the T-Mobile one back (H918) and keep/repair the US996....I am in Eastern Canada (Toronto) and don't plan on going west anytime soon, ha ha! I'm fine with keeping it stock too....just as long as it works on Freedom, I'm cool! :)

Thanks again!!!! :)

You wouldn't by any chance be interested in a trade would you? Brand new US996 for your H918?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hash02:
Hey,

Is it possible to flash twrp with the flashtool ? I can't seem to make it work, no matter what I do my phone restarts and resets.

I've been trying many guides from this forum and others with no avail. I can't seem to get any rom to actually boot and am forced to always revert to stock via FlashTool.

I Have :

- an apple. a pen.. :)) but also,

- cherry mobile flare S4 with stock rom 1.0 flashed via smart phone flash tool. (so it's a clean start)

- oem unlocked and "fastboot oem unlock" Success.

I can put cwm recovery on it ver v6_kk_carliv-mod -> not that i want to, it's the only one that actually works and boots into recovery. all others restart the phone.

I've tried :

- rooting and flashing via various android apps, no success - phone stuck in reboot mode or stuck in forever boot mode.

- flashing about 10 different recoveries found here and on other sites with no avail except cwm v6_kk_carliv-mod (but it's outdated and i can't really use it)

- flashing recovery using Smart Phone Flash tool, same boot loop or reboot loop. No success.

I want twrp recovery, preferably 3.0.2*

If anybody can tell me step by step i'd love to hear it.

Thank you

Hi Guys,

I want to root my LG G5 with TWRP & SuperSU

So first i unlocked the bootloader for my phone.

2. Dwonloaded TWRP & SuperSU

3. Installed TWRP with CMD

works everything fine, but i cant enter in the TWRP recovery it just loads the normal recovery where i can swipe my data.

I also tried to "fastboot boot" into TWRP recovery and also install TWRP and remove battery so android cannt boot.

Unfortunately nothing worked

I really dont know what to do ?

thx 4 help
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mass/cls/:
Start your phone in fastboot mode, flash TWRP, disconnect and reconnect the battery.

Now hold volume down + power until you see the LG logo, keep holding volume down and let go of the power button for a moment and then hold the power button again while still holding the volume down button.

You will now see a prompt asking if you'd like to factory reset, press yes to both prompts.

You will now be inside TWRP.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] dksoni411:
Which variant you are using.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] lywyn:
I've tried this process myself and I get the same result. Reply Yes, Yes to factory reset and it *should* then start TWRP but it doesn't. You end up with a wiped phone and have to start all over again. Tried process a few times and never works.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mass/cls/:
The only reason it wouldn't work is if you did not flash TWRP correctly, make sure flashing TWRP with fastboot was successful before disconnecting the battery and entering the factory reset prompt.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] lywyn:
It is successful, and I pull the battery and go straight into recovery as recommended. Used latest version.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mass/cls/:
This is not something I've ever had a problem with, every time I've wiped my phone and installed a new version this has worked.

Flash the latest version of android with LGUP and try again.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] lywyn:
On V20a-234-30. I have flashed TWRP successfully in the past. Might try LGUP to V20D and then try, but if it factory resets I waste hours while phone goes through setup to try again :(
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mass/cls/:
Yes I know it is very annoying when that happens, you should definitely flash the latest version regardless, I'm sure you won't have the problem after flashing :good:.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] StavrisD:
Found it! After you install twrp, you just execute 2 more commands:

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format cache

Don't reboot, just turn it off.

Works like a charm!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aadams94:
Hello everyone,

Few weeks ago I was replacing LCD in my Sony Xperia Z3 (d6603), and something must went wrong, becasuse since that time, my approximity sensor is turned on all the time. When I want to call someone, screen instant is going black and I can't do anything... Now I can end call with power button, but it only works in normal calls, not in Messenger or Whatsapp :/ I tried almost everything (calibraiting, permamently turn off with apps etc.) and this sensor is still on. And here is my question:

Guys, do you know any way to turn off approximity sensor for ever? I'm looking for solution in internet for a weeks, and I can't find anything, that can help me :(

My phone is stock (Android 6.0.1), not rooted, but if it's really needed, I can root my Sony ;)

Not sure. I went to the link and downloaded srsroot(you have to like or share through one of several social means in order to download it)

It's an .exe program that you have to run from a pc. I don't have my pc up at the moment but I may try it at a later time.

One thing that does strike me as odd is that srs root says on twitter that root was obtained for the xt1609 in December of 2016. It's hard for me to believe that if root was achieved , no one has posted on xda anything about it. I would think someone would have done so by now if that was the case.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] jallison:
Here's one of those "how do I do this with Tasker?" questions...

I've got my SMS app set to show a preview of an incoming text. That's fine normally, but at night I use "Night Clock" on my phone as my alarm clock, and if I get a text it pops up a preview, which both blocks the time shown and creates a brighter screen that is annoying. I've already got a "night time" Tasker profile that handles volumes and notifications, so there's no audible effect, but I'd like to not get the preview during that same time. Anyone have any idea how to disable the text message preview when this profile is active? The message app is Verizon's message+, btw.

Thanks.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] the_scotsman:
Does Do Not Disturb block visual notifications?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] alienyd:
I would say that belongs to app feature. Maybe you can try to have Tasker auto dismiss it, but it will still show up first.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] jallison:
DnD does not block the notification. And auto-dismissing it would be fine. Now I need to figure out how to do that. Thanks!

- Jeff
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] alienyd:
yeah from what I understand DnD would just disable sounds and lights, what an app tries to show is something else. Maybe you can can have Tasker detects the popup and tap to dismiss it. You can also try the AutoInput plugin.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] the_scotsman:
Ahhhh, auto dismissing notifications is easy!

Use AutoNotification - it's a fantastic app that's part of a set of tools.

https://joaoapps.com/autonotification/

You can do SO much with them. With tis app, all you'll do is monitor for new non-persistent notifications, then dismiss them.

One thing I use it for is when I unlock my phone, and I have a new SMS, Whatsapp, or email, the notification shade slides down so that I have easy access to them.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] jallison:
I did try out AutoNotification and it worked for me. I intercept the new message notification then, if do not disturb is on (nighttime setting), I send the back button, which dismisses the pop-up. Cool.

Thanks!
