LG removed adaptable storage option. This tool works great for me.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Griggs2121:
Thanks. I'll take a look at it. I haven't bought the G6 yet and I'm a little concerned about having to rely on a hack. I wonder why they removed the adaptable option
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pomponazzo:
Almost all brands removed this feature...

As far as I know, only HTC leaved it available for the customer without the need to do anything funny.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Griggs2121:
Does it work the same as native with this mod?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] taphius:

You can also just enable Force Allow Apps on External in developer options.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Griggs2121:
Is that when you use the move to SD function?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Rgarcia2296:
I enabled Force Allow Apps on External, and it wont allow me to move any more apps that I couldn't already move by just going into each app and changing the storage to SD.

Is there something else that needs to be done?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Saythis:
Did you reboot after enabling it?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DocPanic:
Hi guys,

a quick question: as I used this tool the overall consumption of memory in my original internal memory seems to be higher than I expected.

So I added up the space needed by the apps on the new internal SD card and this fit. So it seems that the internal SD card things that the Apps are installed there, but the internal memory shows them in them from the storage consumption.

Is that just a bug (or "feature") of the LG due to the fact that they do not increase the overall free space available (with the internal SD card)?

And if this is so, can I just keep installing apps right after 32Gb are full or will the phone still stop accepting that?

Does anybody knows more about that?

Best regards and thanks for the help!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fantasmag0ria:
just received my s8. going back from work I decided to turn on the navigation to check if gps is working. It was stuttering so I downloaded some gps info app and there is no fix on my galaxy. The location when stationary is kinda working, shows it more or less precise but when travelling it jumps around.

How long the first fix should take? Any ideas? Anyone with the same issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fantasmag0ria:
ok nevermind

After 45min outside it fixed the location.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] masbirdies:
Not sure if the s8 is like other samsung devices, but power savings modes can interfere with the gps locking.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] faaaaq:
Not sure if its still a thing but I think the first lock can often take a bit if there isnt perfect signal. I know back in the day when flashing various ROMs the initial GPS lock wasnt always quick unless I had really strong signal to the sats.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gartenspartan:
I find the attenuation of the gps signal on my gs8 to be very strong. If I'm holding the phone it seems on the lower half of the phone during navigation the signal degrades. If I put it on my leg flat it attenuates to the point of occasionally dropping signal. If it sits upright in my dash phone holder it seems to work fine. Is this normal and is anyone else experiencing this?

By the way, I have gps toolbox downloaded and have redownlaoded the agps and reset the gps data numerous times
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
I've been having gps issues as well, especially when using waze. Basically, signal disconnects and can't reconnect (or it never connects in the first place...) until you turn off location and then turn it back on again...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
First fix is always the longest, because without knowing location GPS doesn't know what sats to look for and needs those sats to download data. Also when I first turned my phone on it was on Korean time zone. Finally, to get fastest fix allow phone to read network/wifi location (I think you need to manually set it to on) to read approximate location, to sync sat table etc. Since I use GPS daily with Google maps I can't remember waiting for proper fix more than few seconds, even when surrounded by very tall buildings and its always right on the money. Now you should be good to go with fast fix also, unless you turn GPS off for longer period of time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] scribed123:
I am also having issues getting the gps signal to lock. If i turn location off and then on it seems to work. Does anyone have a work around?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mikeisgo:
I was having odd GPS lock issues myself. I turned off the feature that lets it connect passively to wifi and bluetooth to attempt to "improve" location. After i turned those off, my GPS has been a lot more consistent. It by default uses your cell service and GPS antenna, which personally I feel is enough, i don't need to be getting location data from random wifi points and bluetooth signals that could be messed up, since I personally don't want to rely on other peoples devices that possibly are misconfigured.

This is of course my theory. In general it really could be a problem with the GPS in the device. I'm not really certain. Anybody else have results with this sort of change I made?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
I think using BT and WiFi even when those services are turned off is overkill and I agree, it could cause more problems than benefits, I never turn it on. Hi accuracy is my setting and I think that uses cell towers and I think it may use my home Wifi, when I'm logged into it, but not sure. Bottom line it works very well on my phone and it can even tell when I'm in different rooms around my house. For example right now I'm in my office on 2nd floor of 10 floor building and my location on map is within 10 yards of actual location and I'm not even anywhere near any window, so it should not work, but somehow it does .
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheRussianLink:
I have the same issue. I downloaded a navigation app and planned a short 2 mile trip to my local store just to check it out but it didn't follow me on screen it was only updating every 3 or 400m, like you discribe - jumping around. When I open Google maps and it shows the orientation of my phone I discovered my compass was 180° out. I downloaded a GPS resetting tool from the App Store and this worked for only a few minutes but now my compass is again 180° out even after I used to reset tool. Any help would be much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Smithfolk4:
After reading this thread I tested Google Maps on the drive home and the GPS was fine. Also works fine on a couple of biking apps. For the biking apps I use GPS Keeper Pro to keep the GPS on all the time for better accuracy. Not sure if it is needed, but on other phones I got in the habit of using it. For driving I don't use GPS Keeper.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] amritnoronha:
Corrupted cache

I cleared my cache in recovery mode and then the gps worked fabulously. Problem I had was that gnaps would lock on if stationary and would go haywire if asked to navigate. Cleared cache in recovery and then used the app. Worked flawlessly. It must be some corruption in the cached files with a recent ota installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MaRyNoFear:
100% Worked for me.

Recovery mode Power + Vol up + Bingsby let go when logo comes 2sec. wait and choose clear cache.

After GPS works again.

Before I tried everything. Also Total reinstall. But no luck.

Thanks million times for the hint.........
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] djmatt8787:
Ditto here. I was really getting aggravated bc i need to view maps (not while navigating, but while driving) to see these FM and county roads, and it would update every ¼ Mile.

2) Just open the app and Scroll till Record screen and select it.

3) Press 3 dot menu located on Record Screen(.activity.LauncherActivity) the first one in the row.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
Like the title says, I've noticed since updating to 7.1.2 at least 2-3 times a day I am thrown a notification for "updating Instant Apps" but it never tells me if it was updated or installed. I tried going to Settings -> Google -> Instant Apps and it is disabled yet these apps are auto-downloading and installing in the background. I have auto-updates off on the play store but this still occurs.

Is there anything I can do to disable or at least cripple the instant apps? I'm reading the purpose of instant apps is so you can try an application without installing it, I do not want to test drive apps like Buzzfeed so however I can disable it would be great
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
So, using Titanium Backup I couldn't find the package com.google.android.instantapps.supervisor but using a root explorer I found the application in /data/app/com.google.android.instantapps.supervisor-2

I also found saved data in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.instantapps.supervisor

I have no idea if this will prevent the service from auto-updating as it has been without permission but I know where it is now...

Update: Deleting both folders causing settings to crash when you go to Settings -> Google -> Instant apps, so it might be deleted off my phone entirely. I will update if I see the application re-install itself
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
Instant apps are temporary apps. So you can't uninstall them or disable it. It's a feature built into Android that is not going away. Your only option is to install a rom without Gapps. Otherwise deal with it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
deleting those two files seemed to have broken that feature.

My issue was that I disabled that service through settings as suggested by one of the google support pages but it would still download and install "Instant Apps" the service throughout the day, not the actual temporary apps themselves. So it's been dealt with lol
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] koonkii:
oh man, when i saw this i thought i had a virus on my phone.

especially when i couldn't find anything named "instant apps" in the app drawer
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] speedee12:
I am hoping that this will work for me as well. The first time I saw the instant apps pop up I just connected to a free wifi in Mexico and freaked out. This seriously bothers me. I uninstalled it and it came back update after update. I also will not be using any instant apps, so this is something I want to break.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
some how it was pushed back on to my phone. this is not a permanent solution...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
so I'm trying to disable this through other means now and I found something interesting? I need someone with more experience to chime in as far as what these* lines* do*.. and where I found it...

so in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.instantapps.supervisor/shared_prefs/phenotypeConfigurations.xml there are these three lines:

<boolean name="Supervisor__enable_instant_apps" value="true" />

<boolean name="Supervisor__disable_url_resolution" value="false" />

<boolean name="TestFeature__enable_test" value="true" />

I flipped the value of these three entries to see if this will disable it. I find it odd that for the first line it was set for "true" when the settings say it's off. I will update again if I see this come back. My coworker had suggested that this may be built in to the Google app itself? Let's see...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
so I had to unroot my phone because I forgot to log into snapchat, then re-root after, and Instant Apps was back yet again. The changes I made to the XML file persisted but the app was back.

I think I found a way to remove it entirely. I used Root Explorer, idk what other applications would work for this. So I navigated back to /data/app/com.google.android.instantapps.supervisor-1 and I clicked the base.apk and I had an option to uninstall, I did this then rebooted my phone to see if reboots are why it fixes itself except the entry for Instant Apps has been removed from settings. This appears to permanently remove this feature.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
every time I think I fix this it keeps coming back lol, I finally called Google Support and this is the first they are hearing of it. The application re-installed itself at 430-some Mountain Time on it's own, other times it re-installs upon reboot. I'm going to find a way to cripple it if google cant

I recommend calling support to let them know that Instant Apps is enabled even though the switch says it is disabled.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ninestarkoko:
I have the same annoyances, "Installig Instant apps" notification appears randomly during the last month, and reading in the logcat they are updates/patches to the new feature, managed by finsky app (Play Store). The most scaring thing is that one time it appeared also during mobile data connection, which is not acceptable (and 800kb background data from Play Store). Google is being too aggressive with it. Why not simply integrate it and update it along with Play Services like the other 1000 google APIs ? !on WIFI!

Thank you for your tests, unfortunately the update process seems to be triggered by Google Play services itself or by Google play store.

I searched for related alarms/wakelocks in Amplify and could only found one wakelock coming from com.google.android.apps.instantapps.supervisor itself: .ExperimentUpdateService. I decided to keep it as this probably isn't the trigger.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
yeah that's now my only worrisome complaint is that it ignores the play store settings and will download over any network connection. You can try submitting feedback through settings and suggest they fix this part so that it updates as you said. Thanks for the additional info, I'll try disabling that and report back if it makes any difference. I doubt that's the source of the problem though so I uninstall the apk so something else must be initiating it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kathrynhr:
Thank you guys for this thread! I have the regular Pixel and have been seeing this happen... "Instant Apps" was disabled but somehow still updating either itself or something else, and I wondered if there was an additional switch somewhere to disable it. Looks like the answer is no. ?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
So I noticed every time the play store found an update, magically Instant Apps was back. I began to notice that this may be a service built into Play Store and not the Google app itself. So I had an idea, I went into Settings for Android and turned off background data for Play services. Obviously this will affect quite a bit, but honestly I am at that point from fighting this feature that I'd gladly give that up. So far after 2 days I have not seen the application re-install itself. It has been more permanent that the other solutions I've had so far.

There's an article from XDA in Analysis and Opinion talking about Instant Apps and Play Store 7.8.15, apparently this issue is affecting people all the way down to the Samsung S5... although people are hesistant to believe this issue exists for whatever reason.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] G1A:
You can cripple it by restricting its access to internet via firewall. Unfortunately this method also drives up battery consumption as the firewall does jujitsu with "Google Play services for Instant Apps" - I am actively fantasizing about taking my baby sledge to this thing and going back to a "dumb"-phone that doesn't have all this drama constantly! I'm using an S5 right now. This is definitely a google thing. They have a similar self-install-without-asking "feature" on windows via their chrome browser. Just look up "SwReporter" in that program's directory. It self-populates with an executable as you use chrome normally and there is no option in the program for it to not do that. You can safely make a shortcut to that directory and empty it out regularly to restrict its functionality which is presumably for keeping an eye on you. I am also trying an alternate method of changing security to prevent write access to that directory. I have no idea how to do that on an unrooted android. Any ideas? And does anybody know how to cripple "instant apps" malware/spyware backdoor "feature" on an unrooted device without eating battery like crazy?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wgraz:
Today I noticed that Instant Apps was installing without my permission. When I clicked on that notification, it brought me to the Google Play Store. (In Google Play Store, I have auto updates disabled.) I have an unrooted Galaxy Note 4 and I can't even find the settings for Instant Apps under the Google settings. Why aren't the settings there? I found the app in the Apps settings called "Google Play services for Instant Apps" (thank you G1A). I cleared it's the cache and data and then uninstalled it. So I'm assuming it will not come back but you never know.

EDIT: Well the "Google Play services for Instant Apps" reinstalled itself AGAIN WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Getting sick of tired of Google's POMPOUS business ethics.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] exothermic:
If it reinstalled itself.... then his would require root privileges in order to disable.
