I've been using magisk xposed and it works pretty well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adeptustech:
Which version of xposed are you using?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkeyPa:
I used expose with SuperSU. It slowed down my phone. It would take 2 minutes to reboot and about 15 second later response (starting an app or touching the screen).

I uninstalled it. I am not sure if Expose works better with Magisk. I am thinking of using that and uninstalling SuperSU if it works better.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agovinoveritas:
You can Run Xposed from Magisk.

I used It back when I actually had a working Stylo 3 plus. Long story there... It worked fine all I had to do was update the Su binary and everything went smooth after that

What do you think the chances of us getting Oreo?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMedina559:
Every Stylo generation has gotten 1 major update so I would assume the 3 will get Oreo, but LGs mobile department has been changing their direction so it's hard to tell..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech15:
Hoping they stay in a positive direction and update us to Oreo
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazarus0000:
I read somewhere that the Stylo will not be getting Oreo. Can't tell you what the source was but given that I'm "quoting" it here, I believe it was something I considered reliable.

I'm new to this phone and waiting to see what's in store for the 4. I'm worried that with the changes in LG's mobile division, there won't be a 4. But frankly, I'd rather have this phone than a "flagship." My wife has found unacceptable use errors in both the Note 8 (went through 2 of those, only to return to the store) and hates the Pixel 2 XL she's had for the past couple of months. I've had no trouble with this "midrange" phone other than occasional issues from the insufficient RAM (I can't make Nav & a music / podcast app run @ the same time).

Bump this up to 3-4 GB of RAM & maybe update the chipset and that'd be a nice upgrade. While the rest of the world drools over the S9, Note 9, V40, or whatever, I'll be happy with my always works, no bugs, reliable "midranger..."
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech15:
Totally agree on your points. I've had "flagships" but they're almost always overhyped and have glaring issues. I just got my Stylo 3 yesterday and enjoyed over 6 hours of screen on time. Really enjoying the phone so far. I understand it's not a high end performance phone but it gets the job done. Who wants to spend almost $1k on a phone anyway?

Regarding Oreo update: if we don't get it that would be sad but I dont think it'll change my opinion of it. I do wish it had a bit more RAM like you said

Is there a way to do an ota update through twrp or root app witout unroot or wiping everything?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazarus0000:
Your question doesn't make sense to me. An OTA update is just that - provided wirelessly via your carrier. It will update the device without any loss of data.

Ooohhh - I see! You're rooted & want to stay that way.

AFAIK, you'll have to update via LG Bridge & reroot after that. But I suspect there are people on this thread that can provide a far more definitive answer...

On metro pcs I just installed the April security patch this morning. Got excited thinking it might have been Oreo. I don't understand why they haven't pushed Oreo for this phone yet? It's more than capable of running it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shreyu:
Hey guys.. Quick question.. Hows the phone holding up for you all after all these months? I'm looking to get one.. How close is the Stylus to the SPen, in terms of functionality and touch sensitivity? The biggest seller of this phone is the Stylus AND the removable battery.. Hence my interest in getting the phone..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazarus0000:
I've had mine for about a year and am totally impressed. Just took a security update from T-Mobile a week ago, so there's still some support there. With the 2 GB of RAM, I've had some issue with running maps and music simultaneously but otherwise, it's held up remarkably well. It will not, AFAIK, get Oreo - it's on 7.0 & will stay there.

The pen is NOT the S-Pen I had with the Note 4. It's not as functional nor as sensitive - often it's easier to make a choice with my finger tip than with the pen. On the other hand, it is a functional pen and I use it frequently, often to the amazement of people that I send a handwriten edited screen shot.

Tolerates my 256 GB SD card without issue. Security is pretty good and I've encrypted both internal and external storage.

Still reasonably snappy. Yeah, it lags a bit but I just think about that I paid $250 for it vs $1k for the Note 8, and that little bit of lag is just fine with me. I've not made any changes in the dev options for transition animations, so I must be ok with the "lag."

Overall, I've been super happy with this phone. Given the crap ware that comes with Samsung's stuff, the lack of root (and no, I'm not rooted on this, a first. I've rooted everything else prior to this) in Samsung Snapdragon devices, Knox, etc..., this little phone has been an award winner!

Make your purchase, you'll likely be happy.

I'm having a weird issue where each time I restart my device I have a voicemail logo on the top left. I don't have any pending, deleted or saved messages in my inbox. I have to go to settings>apps>click upper top right on three dots>show system>find "call services", click internal storage data and clear it in order for it to go away. If I restart it is immediately there again. Does anyone know how to get rid of this issue? I tried a full factory reset and it stills shows. Also I notice the phone, after two months I've had it, has started to really lag even after a full reset. I'm disappointed. I know it's a mid-range phone but it was fast at first
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech15:

I have been working on helping port AOSP Oreo to this phone and the K20 Plus up until I lost my K20 Plus 2 days ago. https://github.com/lg-sd4xx/ is the joint organization I made for these devices. I have also been working on 64bit lineage OS and resurrection remix builds for this device available here https://drive.google.com/folderview...lderview?id=1jr5X4UDOwChuPW5CZelrW6ifITk_Jejg

NFC isn't working and GPS was causing problems in the last build, I decommonized the GPS blobs that capoused the error and am working to help another developer resolve the GPS errors in his builds.

However until I get a new LG msm8937(or msm8917) device I will be forced to stop support due to lack of a test device.

LG Q Stylo +

This phone is now available from freedom mobile in Canada.

Is this an update to the Stylo plus series? Or a Canadian version of it? Anyone know? It would be good to know it is very similar to existing LG stylo phones with regard to someone doing a custom rom for it sometime in the future.

(Edit: sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread - the title mislead me) This should be a separate post. I'm not sure how to delete/move it.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazarus0000:
This is the newest version of the Stylo 3 plus. Apparently, my Candanavian brothers & sisters are, finally, in this one instance, ahead of the game... LG has played their cards pretty close to the chest on this one - announced the name change and updated hardware on 06JUN18 & then has remained silent until a small update (still no details of pricing, carrier support, release date) from Korea just the other day. I wrote an email to LG just the other day and got a response that said LG America still has no direction from the corporate HQ in Korea.

I'm dying here... I really love to hear the upgrades the Note 9 has to offer (I'm using the N4, as I gave my Stylo 3+ to my son when his OG Stylo finally bit it) but Sammie's offerings are always infested with bloatware... But this N4 is just limping along & I don't know that I'm going to be able to wait for the Q-Stylus+.

Looks like a great upgrade to the Stylo 3+ - my understanding from PR is that it's 64 GB (not the 32 described in your link), 4 GB RAM, SD card slot for up to 1 TB support, Snapdragon 450 I think, with great cameras. And a price tag at about $350 US, vs $1000-$1200 for the Note 9.

But if they don't pony up quickly, they're going to lose my business. One way or another, I'm getting a replacement for this N4. With Sammie announcing the N9 on the 9th and opening up pre-orders, LG needs to up their game NOW!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asynio:
This looks like the Stylo 4 here in the states. Whole separate beast. That being said, it's still a good deal. Of course it's not gonna compare to an N9 because that's a completely different class, with the price tag to match. I've had every variant of the Stylo that's come out here in the states and for the price vs. performance there's just no way I'd ever pay 3x for a Note. If you REALLY need the S-pen, then maybe consider it. I've never used the pen on the Stylo, because honestly, they're kinda garbage. The Stylo has just always had the biggest screens with the best specs in the budget arena though. Plus, if I break it I don't risk a stroke, which has only happened once and that was from a 15ft drop.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazarus0000:
I use the stylus multiple times each day. Literally, can't imagine living without it. No matter what's happening, I can just make a quick note and it saves automatically to my Evernote account.

You're absolutely right though - the stylus on the Stylo 3+ is terrible, even when compared to my Note 4. I'm sure Sammie's N9 will be even better.

What kills me with the Stylo 3+ is the underperforming RAM. I had a terrible time trying to gay Navigation to work with any audio at all. Pocket Casts and Play Music would stop or Nav would. Either way, I couldn't get it to work.

6 GB (or 8,if you're looking @ the $1250 model) is pretty compelling. But then again, that price is a huge red flag...

If nothing else, I've decided to limp along with the N4 for the time being. In the meantime, one of several options will present themselves, I'm sure - either Samsung (or another retailer) will drop the price around Christmas or LG will get their act together and drop the Q-Stylus+. Either way, I'm happy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech15:
Does anyone else think it's ridiculous that the Stylo 3 has not received Oreo? Yes it has the August security patch but it would be nice to at least see a full OS update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazarus0000:
Certainly is but that's LG for you. I loved my Stylo 3 (past tense - had to give it to my son when his OG Stylo took the real estate deal after 3 years or more!) and LG makes some great hardware. But their support and marketing are terrible! Oreo came out less than a year after that phone was released (9, maybe 10 months, @ most!) and there was never even a hint that LG had intentions to upgrade.

Now, 3 months after announcing the pending release of the "LG Q-Stylus" in three derivations, not one word as to when it will hit. There's the LG Stylo 4 but that's not the specs they announced, so it's not a naming issue. When I wrote LG USA, they responded that they have no info as to when the Q-Stylus is going to drop.

I expect LG to go the way of HTC. Gone gone gone.

As for myself, I dropped the $$$ for the Note 9, 512 GB. It's expensive. But flawless.

So pissed at LG. Had they been able to come through with a hint of when or if the Q-Stylus was going to drop, I would have waited for it.

Bad marketing. Cruddy support. Their loss, I guess...

I bought mine straight up from TMO.

Done

Paid off phone, fully unlocked.

I do have one question though. Having an issue running Navigation (Google Maps) and music at the same time. I can run one but not both. If I've got Navigation in the foreground, it kills whatever music app I'm using (Play Music, Amazon, Pandora, Spotify - I haven't used any local storage app, everything is streaming); if I have an open music app in the foreground, Maps dies on me.

Anyone having this issue? Any fix for it? Or is this the unfortunate result of buying a phone with only 2 GB of RAM?
