[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kbhasi:
Yesterday, I found some time to try a retail demo G6 and compared to the Galaxy S6, however, the demo G6 I tried wasn't connected to Wi-Fi, so I couldn't test some things. out. Click "click to show content" below for my findings (taken from my Instagram post that I had copied before posting, since Instagram decided to screw up the formatting).

(Go to my Instagram account via a link on my XDA profile and find the original photo there)

(I have a few questions for any of you who own a LG G6 or other LG phone running their version of Android 7.0 so expand the description if you want to see those questions)

I found a demo LG G6, and decided to try it out, to find out that...

LG actually uses the Google emoji from stock Android!!! Yes!!!!!

Unlike that Sam-suck Galaxy S8 that uses their crappy and hard to read emoji that I absolutely hate.

I also found that LG's version of Android also has custom font support. Hopefully it's actually using FlipFont, because if that's the case, I could load my custom Comic Neue font package that I have on my Galaxy Tab A and use that.

(Does LG's Android use FlipFont or another font system where I can easily create a custom font package to use there?)

LG's Android also has custom theme support, so hopefully there's a theme that can make it look like stock Android 7.0, but sadly, the demo G6 I tried wasn't connected to WiFi. I already know LG's custom launcher has 2 versions, one with an app drawer and one without.

(Is there a theme for LG phones that can make it look like stock Android?)

Another thing I didn't notice in reviews on YouTube is that the power button is combined with the fingerprint sensor. Nice!!

Plus, LG's Android does have user changeable DPI settings. Hopefully that setting doesn't only affect LG apps.

One thing I forgot to check is if LG's Android has a blue light filter, which CyanogenMod does have.

(Does LG's version of Android have some kind of blue light filter or "night mode"?)

Even then, I'm probably not gonna upgrade my phone this year, because I had already gone through so much trouble trying to sign back in to all my apps after transferring to the Galaxy Tab A WiFi+cellular, unless there is an Android app (that does not require root) that can actually preserve app data so I would be able to continue right where I left off after switching to a new phone.

With that, I am considering getting a G6 (in silver or black, 64GB) (either that, or I might wait for either the G7 or whatever the next OnePlus will be called) but want to ask some questions, mainly pertaining to the software experience, which is my main deciding factor when it comes to buying an Android device.

Anyway, just open the spoiler thing above if you don't understand why I'm asking the following questions.

Does LG's Android use FlipFont or another font system where I can easily create a custom font package to use there?

Is there a theme for LG phones that can make it look like stock Android?

Does LG's version of Android have some kind of blue light filter or "night mode"?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Obscure Reference:
1: No idea

2: kind of, but apparently the text color in the settings is tied to to the one in the notification shade so you tend to get both of them either with a dark or a light color. Check the themes forum.

2: Yes
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kbhasi:
I tried, but I couldn't find it.

Closest I found was a "Pixel" theme, but I think I might be able to combine that with Nova Launcher + one of those stock Android icon packs for 3rd party launchers + Google Gboard + a bunch of stock Android apps that Google has uploaded to the Play Store, to get as close to stock Android as possible, or I might wait for LineageOS or another custom rom with the stock Android UI to be released for the G6.

(I do like using Nova Launcher Prime because one of the things it allows me to do is to hide a number of the Samsung apps and bloatware on my Galaxy Tab A, plus I can hide the app drawer behind a double tap gesture)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Obscure Reference:
You can actually hide apps in the stock launchers too.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] agentsandy007:
First of all I am not talking about Notification light.

A Red light in proximity sensor next to sony logo is always on when device is connected to wifi, or when connected to mobile data only whrn the arrow indicators appears.

This red light is on even if i disable adaptive brightness.

I am shocked why no one raised this quesrion.

Hence here I am.

I hope this is not intentional by Sony.

Coz ffs i cant get one thing to my mind that how it is helpful. It is rather annoying.

Anyone with a clue pls share.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] lstic:
It's on on my phone as well. It was also like that on my Xperia X
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] cizkek_:
I call it the "I'm watching you." light. I think its the proximity sensor's lazer. I dont think it should be on 24/7, but then there is this "Led light's lifetime depends on how many times they are turned on/off" thing. May be it is some kind of an optimisation?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] agentsandy007:
It definitely has to do with data recieving signals.

But whatever it is for I am concerned about battery life:(

It is just plain stupid of sony to not recognize this.

Coming from z5 I thought speakers were average on z5, but I doubt XZ even have any speakers at all.

Sound is that bad on XZ. I can barely listen to ringtone and I was sitting right next to the phone. What if we are in the other room or @ some distance? We' ll definitely miss the call.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] LadFromWales85:
Disable adaptive brightness and the flickery red dot will go off. I can only see it in a darkened room so it doesn't bother me. I'm looking at the screen lol!
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] agentsandy007:
It bothers me when people don't read ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] cocagenda2:
this is wierd...becouse if i turn off adaptive brightnes the red led light turns off but it blinks when turned on...definetly something wrong with ur sensor..nothing new these days,its a comon thing for sensors to be broken ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] agentsandy007:
Interesting.

With the same settings as before, now red light is on only on the lock screen.

I noticed just when i was reading your reply.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] cocagenda2:
so u say that red light turns on only on lock screen...what happens when u unlock the phone is it still on (red light)? becouse mine is always on except when screen is locked and turned off course and then it turns on again when i turn the screen on...this is how sensor should work... If urs doesnt work that way then go send the phone to waranty... I wouldnt investigate anyomre just go to Sony. ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] agentsandy007:
Until yesterday it used to be always on, but now only on the lockscreen. It stays off when I unlock the device.

Why can't we seen to find the real use of that light?

Is it even a feature?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] cocagenda2:
looks like this proximty sensor works that way by having red light turned on...so does ur adaptive brightnes still work after it turns off when u unlock the screen?i feel its faulty sensor!i can share u my experience with Z5...i had white spots on screen so i send it to repair and they replaced the screen but also they managed to break proxity sensor aswell... i actualy laughed out loud how can they be so careless ahhh nwm hope u fix it soon. ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] agentsandy007:
Well now I get it, atleast I think so.

Red light stays on if we turn on adaptive brightness.

It also turns on when data packets are being sent to our device (via wifi or mobile data)

But why? That is the main question here.

Previous devices never had this feature, and what diff does this make?

Looks like my adaptive brightness works fine.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] l3enjamin:
Do you mean the light in the attachment?

It should be the infra-red light used by the proximity sensor anmd it is not meant to be seen by human. I can only take this from the camera of another device but I cannot actually see it.

Trust me, if you tries to use the camera of another device to view it, you will see it blinks a lot when the screen is on. ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] agentsandy007:
That is exactly what I am talkin about.

It is not supposed to be visible for naked eye until you use a camera.

This one just stays on. Doesn't blink.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] cocagenda2:
OK so looks like im having a camera in my eyes LOL cuz i can see that red dot light constantly turned on...ill see what Sony will say about that.im gonna call waranty just for curiosity.maybe they know something :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] l3enjamin:
There may be some variation of the wavelength produced by that LED from device to device, while I cannot see it in my XZ, I can saw it in my last LG device. It won't cause any battery draining problem because either you see it or not, it is still blinking.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] zohaib0001:
My God

This is not a problem

By using this proximity sensor our phone controls the automatic brightness setting.

which is called Adaptive Brightness
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] cocagenda2:
hey buddy we all know that but we just want to clarify why some ppl can see the light and some not.... read next time :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] killa92:
Xperia X and XZs does this and its annoying, Sony obviously did a bad job in defining what's visible to humans.
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] XuanDinh:
I got this G8232 as Gift from my USA's cousin which has disable fingerprint manager by default. This issue make me sick. I want it back by flash my phone to global firmware. But problem:

1. Flashtool newest version have no G8232 in device list. Okay if you stuck at this here is trick:

Download Device update for flastool here:

https://xdaforums.com/xzs/how-to/flashtool-devices-update-t3601722

- Extract you will have folder G82xx

Open flashtool (newest version) wait until it loaded all script you will see there are only 94 device loaded

see pic:

how do you upload pictures

- Copy folder: G82xx to %userprofile%\.flashTool\devices (copy this to "RUN")

- Back to opening flashtool click: Device - Manage - Import. You will have 95 devices imported with notice:

"06/039/2017 21:39:25 - INFO - Loading devices database

06/039/2017 21:39:25 - INFO - Loaded 95 devices"

how do you upload pictures

2. All done ! Go ahead make your own ftf firmware by xperifirm and flash your phone.

3. While flashing you may got notice:

06/040/2017 21:40:46 - INFO - No matching loader found

06/040/2017 21:40:46 - WARN - No loader found or set manually. Skipping loader

And flashtool will popup using 41.fsc click YES then all go through.... (if not restart your PC reinstall flashtool drivers and restart over again)

how do you upload pictures

Bravo now my G8232 fingerprint manager is back ! Big thanks everybody !
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] Avalanche46:
Thanks, which FW did you use?

Thanks for the quick and easy guide. Very helpful and I have successfully created an FTF file as a test. Just curious which firmware you used? I'm looking for something that has as little bloat as possible but understand each variant will come with some.

Example, did you use the customized SG, HK, etc. release?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] XuanDinh:
My G8232 release with USA firmware with fingerprint is disable

I living in Vietnam so i use Xperifirm and make FTF with Costumized VN Firmware and flashed my phone. I'm sure u can flash any global ftf firmware to make fingerprint manager is back :)

[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] 3mozz:
same for me also
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] AudioAw2015:
Another user in the patch thread solved it. You have to copy the G82XX patch to the device folder to overwrite the files and then press export first before importing the folder in flashtool.

"Delete that folder add the new folder then click export and then import the new folder and tadaa worked for me"
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] Pockymuncher:
Hi guys. I have a question. So I have the US dual sim version as well. If I flash to global firmware do I lose my DRM keys for the camera?

Basically all I want to do is use global firmware to get fingerprint reader working. I don't really care for rooting it. I want to keep my camera DRM working. I tried reading a guide but it only shows me how to root. But I don't want to root.
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] skipper1448:
How to video

I made a how to video a few weeks back on how to activate the fingerprint sensor.

I was having issues like the ones mentioned above and after several failed attempts I figured out what worked

This damn thing doesn't let me post links so just Google how to activate the fingerprint sensor on the Xperia xzs or just search for my channel using my username on YouTube

So I flashed my devices bootloader with the wrong boot image and now the phone is completely bricked, when I power it on it shows the Sony Xperia screen then after proceeds to a screen with a dead android. PC won't recognise the device, when I connect it it says USB device malfunctioning and I'm pretty much lost in what I need to do. Please help, thanks.

UPDATE: Now the phone won't even turn on at all, tried holding Power button, Volume Up and Down. Probably just bricked the phone even more

UPDATE: Solved the problem, not sure how but managed somehow

I see that buying/ selling isn't supposed to happen on XDA, but Swappa doesn't seem to have an accessories area. Mods, please feel free to delete my post if my post here is in violation.

My AT&T Note 4 died, and I have the Gear VR headset (original), 3x 12.4Wh batteries (1x original and 2x Anker), along with the Anker wall battery charger. I can't use them anymore, and I'd be happy to send them to another user. If you can cover shipping, they're all yours. I'm not sure how to ship the batteries, but if someone is interested, I'll find out what the cost is.

Stock battery seems to hold ~70-80% of its original charge, and the other two seem fine. All are in good condition.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Jozer99:
I don't own one so I can't say conclusively, but I have heard they work. The thing is, the remote buttons are only supported by HTC Audio Manager and possibly WMP, but not any other media player. Audio should work for any app, and I believe there is a built in Microphone so you can use it for calls with a normal MP3 player headphone set. The only difference between the E100 and the W100 is the color. I was considering buying one of these, but $60 is a little much for a headphone adapter. I bought a $6 headphone adapter on eBay which works great. I don't have a remote, but you can control the MP3 player from your pocket via the scroll wheel (which is super handy), so I really don't need it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] -haze-:
I use this and it works fine if you don't need the remote features.

http://cgi.ebay.com/3-5mm-Headphone...ihZ012QQcategoryZ3311QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

(man, that's my 3rd post here today about ebay. I think I have an addiction.:) )
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] gilsas:
Thanks for the tip! Strangely, here in France you can get these wired RC for 27€ (everything is expensive here) which makes less than 40USD... but that's expensive enough for forcing me to check it's actually compatible.

As for the color, it sounds logical but by typing "wired remote" on www.expansys.com I found out tenths of E100 and W100 with no apparent correlation between reference and color. HTC also references each W100 in black and white colors.... strange!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] briggs81:
I can't get mine to work. Says I have the latest drivers. though i don't see a latest driver for specifically the tytn II.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] gilsas:
Finally got mine - works great with both windows media player and HTC media player, there's maybe a driver / ROM issue. I have a Vodafone branded device (French SFR v1615). I did'nt do anything, just plugged it and it works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] max621:
in a functionality both are same but E-100 comes with a pair of head phones set and W-100 is only a remote control
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] briggs81:
Mine works now, it was just a polaris based rom that i was using that caused it to not work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Mannish Boy:
How did you get it to work? Changing the ROM to something else? If so, which did you change it to?

I'm using Dutty's V4 which is really great, but the wired remote doesn't work at all. Anyone come up with a solution as yet?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] briggs81:
No, the v4 is the v4 beta polaris based rom. Will not work.

With his unreleased final v4s, he is going to be using v3 + beta v4 tweaks, so that means no more polaris based rom.

He should be making a beta for it at some point which I will be testing out.

It also does not work with WMP on q-mobiles 1.2, but it works with audio manager if you install it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] briggs81:
I've tried a few roms. It works with..

schapps 4.31 and his windows mobile 6.1 one.

Duttys v3 final (good rom)

Duttys v2 roms

q-mobile 1.2 audio manager music control buttons and phone buttons, but no WMP music control buttons

Panosha (sp?) rom

Havnt tried alex roms yet so don't know about those. WIll try that today sometime, and hopefully a new dutty v4b
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Ves:
I have it aswell it work. Both with the HTC media player and WMP. The red and green phone buttons work aswell. Haven't tried mute. Only thing is my media player is Mortplayer and the remote doesn't support it.

Does anyone have the e100 for the att tilt where it actualy works and does it work (remote control) for anyone using pocket player. Sorry for the huge pic but it looks real nice.

- only the volume buttoms work with other players (like pocket player)

- some ROMs have problems

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] moddin:
I am talking about the E100 designed specifically for the ATT tilt( supposedly). http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=157661 comment says it doesnt work with tytn II. it is about $3 more expensive than the E100 for the Tytn II but the tilt is different from the Tytn II. Has anyone tried this product on the tilt??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] briggs81:
The comment says it doesn't work with TyTN I, not TyTN II, if you are referring to this one.

"Does not work with TyTN I

* It is not recognized by the device. Installation of the latest driver does not help."

it's not specifically designed for the tilt, that is just their website saying that.

There is the w100 and the e100, plain and simple. e100 comes with crappy HTC headphones, the w100 does not.

Device is the same, OS system is the same on tilt and tytn II, it's all the same crap!

I am sure it works on a TyTN I anyways, device is not that old and you just need to do the right drivers (and that's not easy, driver cd sucks for this thing).

Anyways, I use it on my polaris.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] justin0679@gmail.com:
Hi all,

I have x2 TyTn ii's... the w100 remote works on one device and not on the other. Does anyone know what the driver is called or what files are needed for the remote? My thinking is if I can find them in the device that works with the remote I can copy & paste.

I am using same Rom & Radio on both devices. I suspect the problem was caused by using the "home plugin uninstaller" The thing is that I have reflashed the suspect device and no joy... tried alternative radios and no joy...

I HAVE DISCOVERED ON THE SUSPECT DEVICE THAT AFTER I POWER UP IF I PLUG IN THE REMOTE IT STARTS THE AUDIO PLAYER AND WORKS PERFECTLY - IF I CLOSE THE APPLICATION ON THE SUSPECT DEVICE THE REMOTE FAILS TO WORK FROM THAT POINT ON...

Would welcome suggestions...

Thanks...
