[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] allenp007:
You can't unless you can get Root Access. I use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze apps rather than remove them. I don't mind them being on the phone; I just don't want them running in the background and using up my battery. Once you have Root access you can usually install Custom ROMs (the operating system that makes the phone run). Many of these have the Sprint and other apps stripped out.
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] wtharden:
Ok thanks, I think I may have gotten HotSpot to work..... But you must have your MSL or the ability to edit information on the ##DATA# menu. I have mines working after trying the old methods from the G5 and Galaxies... This method works after reboot and you can just switch native tethering on. But I Repeat I Was Only Able To Edit The ##DATA# with My MSL.
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] enzeden:
What's the best method you would recommend for obtaining ones MSL?
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] wtharden:
I just asked for it via computer chat..... It took me three tries even though my phone is paid off and unlocked.

So it's kinda hard to get it from Sprint.
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] allenp007:
I went ahead and got the LG G6 and that's partially due to your optimism that it will get rooted. No, I'm not holding it against you if they don't figure it out. So far it's a great phone but I miss being able to freeze apps with TBP. Do you have any news on progress for root access? Thanks.
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] KingFatty:
I'd love it if development mirrored the progress in for the Sprint LG G4 where it was possible to edit a hidden menu and enable Wifi tether. Would be awesome if that could happen with the Sprint LG G6!
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] bibuco:
Hi wtharden,

Could you please let me know how you were able to edit the APN?

I have MSL code from sprint; once i get to the APN screen, i have 5 items; internet, ota, pam, ims, and GSM.

It doesn't give me any options to add any new one.

I can select ota to edit, which it asks to enter MSL code, but still nothing after that.
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] wtharden:
Yo lol you have to send the message directly to me, I just so happened to check this forum again, but I moved on to the Note 8.

But you have to call and get the device UICC Unlocked or you can do it through international chat via web.

[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Thats what I told ya lol

And to root you have to unlock bootloader
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
I got a long history in LGs know how they work pretty good.

And just keep in mind with the history of the G4 and G5 dont expect it to be hacked or patched or any good stuff like that anytime soon

As the G4 and G5 neither have been unlocked the G4 had root on lollipop but as soon as marsh came out root was gone.

Never to be heard from again

You need to buy one of the models listed in the unlock thread if u want root or more...

Oh daaaaaamn....i cant use an android phone without root
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] rojamama:
you can Remove Bloatware without ROOT

You can remove all the bloatware without root.

1. Connect your phone (with USB debugging ON) to your computer.

2. Open ADB terminal and check your device connection.

3. Use ADB commands to uninstall the bloatware from your phone.

This method just disables the app for the current user and will not remove from the phone memory.

You will get OTA update as the system partition has not changed.

Follow the link for step-by-step with screenshots and detailed descriptions.

https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

I tried and it worked. I removed all the Sprint bloatware from my LG G6.

Enjoy.

[Repurposing Old Devices] Mikeyb2k:
Hi all. I have been researching the possibility of using my S3 as an add-on for my Smart TV. It's an LG with webOS. Is there anyway to get a similar experience as with the Amazon fire TV but using the rooted phone? I have looked at the post using a launcher but this is more like just mirroring with a different UI. Any suggestions or pointers to some development. I apologise if this is the wrong forum (sorry moderators) but couldn't decide where to post
[Repurposing Old Devices] Mikeyb2k:

[Repurposing Old Devices] biggdevon:
If your device supports HDMI output then you could just buy the cable and a bluetooth remote. You'd then basically have what you're describing.

There are docking stations out there that can give you this ability or you can use mirror/screen casting

[Nexus 5X Accessories] finsfree:
My Nexus 5X is loosing battery power before my day is over with. The battery size is only 2600.

I tried looking on the Mophie site but no luck.

Does anyone make a battery case for this phone?

Thx.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Kypariss:
Hey there,

Sorry, no-one makes one.

I spent a lot of time on the forums, tried custom kernels, but in the end you can only get maybe 2 hours of usage throughout a day on this phone with brightness turned way down.

With very light use you can make it through a work day and have anywhere from 20-40% left once home (Off charger at 6am, 50% brightness set to auto, About an hour of SOT, music streaming nearly all day via speaker phone (WIFI), occasional texting, sporadic browsing on lunch for 30 min) I've learned to live with it and just put it on the charger when I get home (5:30)

But, I came up with a diy battery pack solution, not quite a battery case, but it does the job. I'll post pictures if you're interested. It uses magnetic tape strips, a 5000mah battery pack, short USB cable with usb-c adapter, a metal mounting plate, and rubber grip tape for stability. It works very well for when I don't want to keep it on the charger and fits nicely in the back pocket. It sits just below the camera and doesn't obstruct it, matches the width of the phone case, it does cover the fingerprint sensor but it's a small sacrifice for the extra battery life. I spent a lot of time on amazon with a measuring tape looking for 4+ star high capacity battery packs the right dimension and with a slim profile. Hope it helps.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] neth15:
Wow, interesting. What about pictures? I would definitely make myself one.

I'm going crazy i spend alot of time editing nothing happen ??
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pimpmaneaton:
I assume you have a rooted device. I have a question that wonder if you know the answer to. Do you know if on a stock device if commands through adb can be issued to change options like adding call recording. Or enabling options in settings that Verizon or other carriers disable.

No you can not do that , the only way to add these feature is rooting device then editing cscfeature.xml file using any of rooting explorer

That supports wireless charging? I use wireless charging at home and at work on a pair of samsung QI-compatible fast chargers, but can't find a case that supports it while still in the case. I'm guessing because the ring interferes with the coils and it's probably also too thick.

Any advice would be gratefully accepted.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] zilvia10:
Dear friends,

I'm now on Zuk Z2 Plus 2.0.133 ST (India)

And I've received new notification to update to version 2.5.104 ST (India)

I'd like to ask if it is official and not beta right? Because I've never signed up for any beta program.

As I've heard that on this version has annoying duplicate notifications bug. Is it fixed or it still exists?

Should I update it now, any other known bugs you care to share?

I dare not update if there are still a lot of bugs ongoing. I'll hold back for longer until new better version comes out.

Thank you in advance!
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] raghuaok:
please don't

I have not installed beta but i would definitely say that the update is pathetic.

Phone lags, significant heating issue and battery drains like crazy. Even if i do not play games i could see the temperature spike up to 51C which is unbearable.

Lenovo has done pathetic job providing this update which is of no use at all. I wonder if its a upgrade or downgrade.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] TanajiKC:

Yes AnTuTu and Geekbench scores are low on the Indian version of ZUI 2.5.

My AnTuTu score is around 60k. It's surprising to see this score on SD 820.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] TanajiKC:
Only 60k... You should hard reset your phone once.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] YamenAkhtar:
Yes. But hard reset will install ZUI 2.0 rite?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] hp5942:
No, hard reset only deletes your data. It does not alter system files so no rollback
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] TanajiKC:
It will delete your all data and apps... And then you could run antutu for fresh benchmarks ...
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] YamenAkhtar:
I was worried about roll back.

Besides I'm planning to unlock bootloader and flash custom ROM soon. Which ROM would you prefer? With voLTE though.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] hp5942:
I have just ordered this phone today, will get it maybe before 8th May. After reading a lot of bad reviews on amazon, I am thinking to use it for 3 months before rooting. Redmi note 3 was final but recent deal of SD820 at ₹12000 was too tempting for me.

As far as I have read forums, Jaguar rom seems promising for battery life as well as benchmarks. Try that out
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] himanshudev:

Hello there,

Hello all, I've been having this problem with my Moto G4 Plus.

All of a sudden, my phone refuses to auto-rotate. I've only had this phone for nearly 3 weeks, and it's not even pre-owned. I've already disabled Xposed, removed any mods, wiped cache and davlink, and of course, rebooted. Is it time for a factory reset, this early in my phone's lifespan?

I'm running Android 6.0.1, stock rom and kernel, with Systemless Root and Xposed.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

How is it this phone can't seem to even keep 2 apps in memory!? Google Maps navigation dies if I step into Instagram and record a video to my story. Obviously there's other background services running as well, but I try to keep very few unused apps. Is 2GB of RAM just not enough for Nougat? What have you guys done to try and help the situation? I am on stock rooted Android 7.1.2.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc239:

restoring backup should be work with this method.

you can try this method

Mount>select partitions to mount : cache

select cache and after doing it go for restoring.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Xerph:
Not sure how many of ya have faced similar issues with your S8 and apps. I will share some experienced by wife and myself.

Stock email app : lags the phone badly at times, and in worst case scenarios, it totally hangs the phone. Need to do hard reset using volume n power keys. This is a horrible glitch, cos the app is a pretty good email app.

Instagram : lags the phone occasionally. Does not load any pics or the screen, just does black blank. At least no reset required.

Candy crush : ( dont judge us!!!) Very slow loading.

Syncing issues with your fitness apps.

And lastly, SD card as a storage option for the camera never works. You may select it as your storage location, but after a few shots an error msg will appear and revert you back to Internal Storage. The sd card seems to be working fine on its own as a storage medium.

Do share if you face the same problems or more.

Hope a patch/fix ia released soon.

Thanks.

I know it's extremely hard to believe you have 2 phones doing it though. So I'm not sure what's going on. Other than a rouge app causing issues. Maybe delete one of those apps one at a time and see if one of those are the problem before factory reset. Hope that helps.

General lags

Hi everyone,

don't know if this helps but after approx. 3 weeks of use I had terrible lags with my unbranded galaxy S8 (slow app start, general lags during operation, very un-smooth scrolling etc.). It runs on stock Rom, no root. Uninstalled any unnecessary apps, still no cure. Deleted cache partition through the service menu, but the lags persisted. Then I read somewhere that the app "all in one gestures" I installed to remap the Bixby button might be the cause. Uninstalled it, wiped cache partition again an rebooted my phone. Since then the problem disappeared, phone runs smooth as silk even with multitasking an a lot of ram consuming apps open.

Hope this is useful to some of you.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MirceaForce:

This tutorial is for you who bought a carrier S8(+) and is using a SIM from another carrier and, because of that, not being able to update your system through your phones.

Error: "Service Unavailable: Sorry, we are having trouble authenticating your device. Try again later"

So, that's actually pretty easy to do, but a PC (or Mac) will be necessary.

The only thing you have to do is to download Smart Switch from Samsung on your PC and sync it with your device.

After you've done that, Smart Switch is gonna show the option to update your system.

PS: Beware it takes a while to download the update, at least if your S8(+) is from VZW.
