Can you help me with this? I would unlock my bootloader but service menu says no..

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladdangel:
My M9 runs idle at about 120 degrees F, 132+ when actually browsing reddit. It's bad.

I've tried thermal configurations, from daily (relaxed) to the most laid back one. I've tried leedroid, maximus HD, resurrection remix, viper... All terrible. Battery dies after an hour of youtube and is too hot to hold most of the time. I'm thinking about taking it apart and applying thermal paste like I saw in another post. I've seen there is some kind of liquid cooling for phones but it's tech that they will put inside the phone rather than something you can buy.

Is it possible that there's a phone case that has fans or heat fins or... hell, something to help with the overheating issues? I'll try anything at this point even if it means taking it apart, drilling holes in the case, sticking some kind of improvised heat fins inside of it myself... I mean, can you think of anything? Thank you in advance for your ideas.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:
Seems to something majorly wrong with your M9, there is no way it should EVER be Idling at 48 degrees Celcius/120F ...

thats crazy, even under heavy load it rarely reaches that sort of temp,

Flash stock Nougat firmware and check your tempretaures, if it still idles at 48 degrees C/120 Degrees F, then there is a serious hardware issue,

The back plate is a heat sink lol....now you could try to add the thermal paste which should help a little as long as you don't over do it with the paste...a fan case would be cool but where would it get power from?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] peachpuff:
Why are you posting this clickbait article here? Those are generic instructions for every phone out there.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
Actually, they're not. I didn't post a clickbait article at all. I posted one that I was looking around the web for and found this. I'm sorry if you feel it's clickbait, I don't think it is. Matter of fact, there are parts of it still to be updated once the device IS released. Maybe reading it would help rather than just dismissing it out of hand.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mocsab:
I don't mean to burst your bubble but I think you are wrong, it is clickbait - there is no recovery - no idea if one will even be avaialble at this time. Bootloader unlocked is a complete unknown right now - so the web site you linked to and many others I have seen everytime a new phone is released (yes they did this for the S7 Edge (us and international varients too) long before the phone had even shipped - I don't know if the people responsible for this web site did the S7 Edge site that was nearly identicle to this one or not - but they are selling ads and looking for click thrus using rooting the S8 as the attraction - and frankly, while the instructions are fine (minus the important links for TWRP) - they are the exact same instructions any samsung phone would have - nothing new here at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] peachpuff:
Thats exactly what makes it clickbait, its unfinished with no files, i could of posted the same thing. Besides root articles come from xda first not some no name mytechvirus website.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zeal415:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] djtoonjr:
I just rooted my phone using Dirty Santa and I'm on the stockish rom thats provided off they're thread.

Basically trying to get access to Snapchat, but won't allow me, I downloaded rootswitch off Asus (user) 1.3.3.2 but upon install I'm getting it interferes with already installed applications.

Any help is appreciated, I'm getting different answers on other threads but they're pretty outdated.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jameslapc2:
I'd try Magdisk I have the T-Mobile variant and it works quite well with it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Lumince:
I would suggest Magisk as well. Some roms will support root switch, but other roms will have more recent security patches. Anything past Nov/Dec will result in rootswitch causing you to bootloop until you pull your battery... Magisk is very nice and smooth on this phone. But just make sure you leave nop traces of supersu installed or magisk most likely will fail to flash.

Im guessing you have a sprint phone??
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] djtoonjr:
Yeahi have Sprint. Sorry I'm such a noob now. The last time I had root was back with my LG G3. I stepped away from root with my G5 and came back with the V20, and everything's so different now lol. So I'll download an Rom then that supports Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] memodrop:
My wife and I both got the 2015 J7s from Virgin Mobile. Both of the camera apps seem to pull focus constantly. Like if I hold the camera perfectly still the camera will still try to focus repeatedly even if I tap the screen for touch focus. I've seen a good amount of complaints online from other people about this too.

I installed Opencamera and the focus works there perfectly so this seems to be a software issue. Unfortunately, Samsung has not implemented the Camera2 API on this phone so Opencamera has limited features.

Anyone else have focusing issues with the camera? Is there any solution or way to access the Camera2 API on this phone?
[P3600 General] Pacman15:
Hello,

Every time I try to install HTC Album, it doesn't show the text. (option text, etc..) its all blank. Everything work fine but there is no text.

Now that only happens when I install it. When it is installed within a ROM (Mary for example), it works just fine.

Any ideas to solve this problem??

Thank you.
[P3600 General] idsk:
you have to rename HTCAlbum.exe.0409.mui (in windows directory) to your language code -> HTCAlbum.exe.XXXX.mui (XXXX = the language code)
[P3600 General] Pacman15:
where can I find the language codes??

Edit: Never mind, I just found what I wanted :D Thanks.
[P3600 General] Super Sheep:
If you have a french OS the language code is 040C. For others I don't know.

An easy way to find it (but not the better) is to go in your Windows directory and search for a system file like "gwes.exe". You will find "gwes.exe.xxxx.mui" where xxxx is the language code you should apply.

Just remember if you buy from another country and the phone has warranty issues it gets complicated because you have to return it to place of origin. This is okay if you live near retailer of course.

Just remember the Note 7 saga. You couldn't even post the phone back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gCloud:
I had an issue with a s7edge duos from dubai. It arrived with an issue, to have it looked at u have to send back to dubai at ur expense. Problem is if the service centre cant reproduce the problem, they just re-flash the software and send back. After a lot of digging around i read reports of people with similar problem had it resolved by a mother board (pba) swap. This costs £220 to get done in UK. Or costs £120 in shipping to Dubai and a lot of hassle trying to convince service centre to swap the board.

I really like duos but the headache of the warranty/support is too much.

however, if you get a problem free unit then it is just great ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smooth Wind:
Hi guys, I tried looking everywhere but I haven't been able to find any info about whether or not the wide angle lens has any focus (autofocus) or even touch focus? Or is it fixed at infinity only, with no focus? Or maybe my camera is broken? For example if I put the main camera close to my leg and focus I can clearly see the hairs, but if I do that with the wide angle it is blurry (however things,far away seem clear). If I touch the screen while in wide angle mode the green focus square briefly appears, such as with the main camera, but it does not focus neither does it make the focusing sound.

Also the front camera has no touch focus or autofocus, right? This is driving me crazy, and would appreciate anu feedback so that I know if I should send my phone back for repairs or not. I heard that some G5 phones are suffering from hardware failures regarding the main camera focus, but I want to know if the wide angle supports focusing in the first place. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbdsalsalani:
Guys, I really need your help!

I was planning to Install a custom ROM on my s6 edge because in was network locked in Japan.

Everything went smoothly​. I rooted it using CF auto root international and it worked fine but after installing TWRP using the Odin, it's stuck there.

Everytime it boots up, it goes to TWRP and the problem about dis is that the TWRP interface can't be touched. Yes, it's stuck on the "swipe to allow modifications".

Please guys. I really need your help.﻿

Did you choose the right TWRP for your model ? No need to root to install TWRP . Did you try to flash TWRP again or start over by flashing your firmware and TWRP again ?

Maybe you didn't flash the right twrp image for s6 edge.. try to flash the right image . If nothing changed then you have to flash the entire Rom from the begin..
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iJimaniac:
Hey, I'm assuming there's at least a handful of you on BOOM! Mobile (Verizon)? They recently rolled out VoLTE on the Verizon network, but I'm having trouble getting it to work.

First off; I had an issue getting them to activate my Moto X Pure on their network (apparently mine is still on Verizon's "blacklist" like many were when this phone was first released). After much strife with their customer support, I just ordered one of their cheapo phones to activate the SIM, then popped it into my Moto X. No problem. They called later because the different IMEI apparently threw a red flag, but updated the info in their system and all was well.

So to get back to VoLTE, I had to fill out a form in order for them to activate the feature on my account, but got a confirmation email that it had been activated. I still didn't get the "advanced LTE" option in the cellular network settings on my phone, so I used the secret phone menu to "turn on VOLTE provisioned flag". This made the option appear, already enabled. However when trying to place a call, I immediately get "Server error. Try again later". Radio restarts, sets the VoLTE flag to off, and I can place calls as before.

So has anyone had better luck with VoLTE on Boom? I understand it works on Verizon, correct? It did work when I was on TMO. I'm completely stock 6.0 unrooted/locked. I suspect it may have to do with Verizon thinking my device is "incompatible"?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] liquidthc:
Tapping it on a hard surface with the camera on seems to fix it. You can hear the mechanism working in the back and hear a high pitched whining if you put your ear near the camera when it's doing this. Only the back camera is effected.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
Hi all,

I am going on a long trip to the UK and Middle East, and want to take my LG G4 with me and use foreign service providers. I am planning on flashing the H815T (Similar to H815 International Version but supports more bands) KDZ file onto my existing LG H812 (Bell Canada) hardware, so I can have support for those frequency bands in the UK and Middle East.

According to my understanding, the H815T rom is compatible with the H812 hardware, as both the Bell Canada and International Versions have the same underlying hardware, but I would gladly appreciate if someone can confirm this. I have attached the phone details below.

Thanks and all the best!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
The risk is not worth it ...

The risk is not worth it ... It is a lot cheaper to carrier unlock your phone so that you can put any foreign service provider's SIM card in rather than having to buy a new phone when you (hard?) brick it, i.e. ~ $20.00 vs $700.00 (or ~$150.00 on ebay for a used one).

But if you insist ... carry on.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
I have done so previously with Samsung Galaxy S4 (all had different model numbers), I used to flash different carriers firmware regularly, as I travel quite often. Just wondering whether the same is true for LG.

Thanks!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
Unfortunately ...

Unfortunately ... because you cannot unlock the H812's bootloader (at this point in time, any way), you cannot safely flash different firmware in the same way you did with your Samsung. Unlocking your carrier so you can replace your SIM card with foreign providers and if you wish, installing steadfasterX's TWRP-in-FisH to have a custom recovery is about it for now. If and when steadfasterX completes his efidroid port to LG G4 locked devices (he's working on it now for unlocked devices), then you may be able to install different firmwares.

All of us H812 owners as well as many others are in the same boat.

Safe travels,

S.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yener90:
I read so much of bands because of Xiaomi phones. I don't think it would work. You need hardware for bands :confused:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
Can you confirm that frequency bands are hardware based?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yener90:
For Xiaomi yes: they unlocked the bands, still couldn't get running. I can't tell for LG, maybe every LG uses same antenna or they using different antennas. Check out, if your phone requires special antenna, then you now for sure. Just check that out, before you spend your time on this.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
So if they are hardware based, then howcome when you unlock the phone, it suddenly supports all the bands? Also by antenna, do you mean the GSM transmitter and receiver?

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsgalf:
Hello all. Recently, my wife's phone was experiencing rapid ghost touches. I called customer support and since the phone was out of warranty, they offered to trade in for a refurbished one for $109. I didn't want to do that so I bought a new digitizer from ebay for about half that price.

I received the new digitizer and replaced it following some guide online. I placed it back together to test it out - only put a few screws back in. The new digitizer fixed the ghost touches issue and everything was working well.

However, I didn't finish transferring some rubber pieces from the old frame (I think they're for the front speakers. I also didn't transfer the grills for the front speakers. So I took the phone apart, transferred those rubber pieces and then attempted to transfer the grills. However, they weren't going in their slots very easily and I was attempting to press the bottom one in with some force. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but now the screen just doesn't display anything. The phone is on and the touchscreen seems to work.

I can do the double twist to get to the camera and take a picture with the volume button. However, the screen is completely black. Also, if I call the phone number, the phone starts ringing, so I believe the phone still runs and the touchscreen is still ok. However, it doesn't display a single thing.

So I re-seated all of the connectors involved with the repair (especially the LCD and digitizer connectors), but that didn't work. After that, I switched back to the old digitizer I just replaced just to make sure I didn't break the new one. It still isn't displaying.

Is anyone familiar with this issue and what I can do to fix it? Thank you

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Marimari1234:
Heeey guys so I wanted to see if anyone knows if they are selling the rear camera glass for the G6 yet? I dropped it ine and it shattered. I've looked everywhere online and no one seems to have it. Really not trying to pay $150 through insurance just for something that small.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jtadak:
Depending on what carrier you have you may be able to take it in and just get it repaired instead of paying a deductible. It'll be tough to find with the phone being so new.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Rinzler:
I hadn't dropped mine and it somehow cracked as well. Multiple posts about this on reddit AND it was a major problem on the G5 and the V20

Incredibly frustrating as I am outside the 14 day Tmobile return window, and LG has terrible customer service....absolutely horrible. This is my last LG experience....I didn't have this issue with the Samsung S7 edge.

Shame on you #LG......shame.

Here's an idea. Don't put the phone in your pocket and sit on it for the entire duration of your flight and then blame LG for it.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Rinzler:
Here's an idea, you have no idea what the frock you're talking about.

No one "sat on the phone"......it was in my left front pocket without pressure being applied to it. I've traveled weekly for the last 10 years with other phone brands....never had this problem. Here's another idea, ship a $700 phone with proper engineering.

FYI - I've had my G6 for 13 days, I went to T-Mobile today and they said it was out of warranty? They also said they couldn't return it because it was damaged. I'm trying to find a replacement for the protective cover that goes over both cameras and the flash. I successfully removed the cracked one after heating it up with a blow dryer, not hard at all but I put it back on until I can find the replacement part - If anyone knows where to get the lens cover please post.

Much Thanks - tat
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Rinzler:
Wow interesting....many thanks for the info.

I've been scouring the net for the replacement, but have been unsuccessful. Please let us know if you find it.

Hmmm I was thinking about the glass repair epoxy that is used to repair windshields....think it will work on this glass cover?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] tat2me2:
I will keep looking and let the forum know when I find one, since it's a new phone it may take a little while for replacement parts to start appearing. I'm not sure about the glass repair epoxy, since the replacement part shouldn't be more than $15 might be better to just wait. It's up to I guess -
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Marimari1234:
Yeaaa if you find anything please let us know it sucks so bad having a brand new phone break like that
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kwaidonjin:
Sane here

I had the phone in my pocket... In a case with a screen protector and somehow managed to shatter the camera lens... Thinking about peeling it off and covering it with one of the clear skins that go over the screen. But cutting it to fit.. I'm worried about the broken glass getting in the camera.. This would be a temporary fix until the replacement partsare available.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lg3FTW:
Has ANYONE truly contacted LG about this? If this happens to me I'll make a nasty remark on every lg page possible. Twitter Facebook, wherever I'll be sure it's hard for them to ignore the fact. Fingers crossed that never happens to me.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] TheChuckIII:
It will come time to contact LG

Upon seeing so many cracked lenses, this seems to be more than an isolated issue. There seems to have been some very defective shipments lens covers that went out and LG needs to address these posts. I would suggest creating a petition or something of the sort to send over to LG after being signed off by multiple people experiencing this problem as well as concerned customers. I they do not take the issue seriously then it will be time to write to every media and news outlet possible to spread awareness on this issue until LG concedes and helps locate and fix this issue
