wi-fi doesn't work

The rom is great, but the only probem is, i can't turn on wifi toggle, just showing turning wi-fi on... ,and doesn't work. I flash this rom for many times, it's all the same .
[Motorola Droid 4] transi1:
Sorry, I'll try fix wifi
[Motorola Droid 4] dinosaur99:
wifi working fine for me

FYI, I installed latest crDroid in a newly created rom-slot1 in order to test Wifi, and it works fine. So today I dirty flashed the upgrade into my everyday installation (stock slot), performed a dalvik wipe, and guess what... perfectly working Wifi :)

There was a tiny issue in previous version in which the list of available wlans didn't show up, but luckily it seems to be fixed by now.

Thanks a lot, and keep the great work! :good:
[Motorola Droid 4] Grus:
yeah, wifi isn't working, running the latest maserati. it works on 3.8.2., but i can't get it to turn on with 3.8.4. doesn't matter if 3.8.4 is flashed after 3.8.2. + boot or cleanly.
[Motorola Droid 4] dinosaur99:
Apparently I'm lucky to have wifi working on my maserati. My only suggestion at this point is to allow 10-15 seconds for the OS to notice the network chip is on, and using directly Settings > Wifi (instead of quick settings menu). The icon toggle and the scan results might actually be a little laggy, although connection establishes succesfully in the background.

If there is something I can do to help you guys, please let me know.
[Motorola Droid 4] Grus:
yeah, i've messed with it around for close to 6 hours, flashing in various ways or just trying to let it do its thing. your post made me kinda paranoid that it was just a peculiar combination of settings messing up, but in the end i couldn't get around downgrading. i've tried various dev options, wifi certificates and frequencies, with or without data or airplane mode, and generally every setting vaguely related to connectivity, even the ui ones, but ultimately there's no change in wifi simply not turning on (reminiscent of missing wifi drivers in replicant builds or similar roms actually), whereas it works perfectly on 3.8.2.

My father have a huawei g play mini (chc-u01) and no custom roms are available. I heard that the honor 4c mount the same hardware (cpu, ram, gpu, motherboard)... Avery single thing is the same. Now: can I install lineage os 14 for 4c in the g play mini chc-u01? I think yes but since the phone is not mine I don't want to risk too much... Even because I don't know is there is a tool for pc like odin or flashtool for xperia devices

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jake5253:
I was feeling adventurous and installed O on my Pixel, played with it for a few days and decided it wasn't quite stable enough for me. Right out of the gate, first boot I had a force close on the Settings App (something persistent about notifications on the lockscreen). Then following that I was having data connection problems...I don't have strong signal at my house to begin with but (thus far) with N I usually had 2 or 3 bars of LTE, while O only gave me 1 bar of LTE if the wind was blowing the right way, but I was usually confined to 2-3 bars of 3G while at home. Long story short I wanted to go back to Nougat just for stability sake.

After attempts to just downgrade using factory images from 8.0.0 to the July release of 7.1.2, I was unable to open TWRP.

Finally, I flashed Oreo back on, used the modded TWRP for O, and I did a full factory reset including internal storage, data, system, dalvik. Then I used Stock July 7.1.2 flashall.bat (included -w), used fastboot for O-compatible TWRP.img so I could switch slots, then I used the 7.1.2 flashall.bat again while on the other slot. after this, I was able to successfully boot into a fresh clean 7.1.2 (also was able to flash/boot older TWRP.zip)

Long story short, now that I'm back on 7.1.2, I am having similar connection problems I was having on O... that is, it prefers 3G instead of LTE at home. When I drive around and switch between towers I cant send messages until I switch Airplane Mode on/off, my messages app (although completely fresh) shows an odd "loading effect" underneath my actual texts.. I've seen this "loading effect" before but only after using TB to restore my texts.. I no longer bother with backing up/restoring texts so Messages should be totally clean, right?

I guess my question is, did I do everything right to fall back from O to N or did I miss something? Do the radios not downgrade? Is there something that just didn't get wiped fully?

If someone would be so incredibly generous to offer a step-by-step on downgrading fully, successfully, I would appreciate that soo much!

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
I don't quite get your method steps order,,,

However, I think I read that you did flash-all for 7.1.2 then did some slot jumping with TWRP...

I recommend another full wipe and flash-all, of 7.1.2 or 8.0.0, and start over without TWRP for now
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jake5253:
That's correct. I did a flash-all for 7.1.2, then used the modded TWRP for O image (fastboot boot image.img) so I could change from slot b to a. I read somewhere else on XDA that you had to switch slots when downgrading and then flash again because simply downgrading on only one slot left behind some partition changes, but switching slots and flash-all again would correct the partitions.

I will try again using fastboot to switch slots.. I dont know why I didnt just do that to begin with.

I will report back, thank you in the meantime.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
For some reason, but I haven't read all downgrade threads, flashing 7.1.2 would seem it should be not used with the 8.0 TWRP.

If you can switch slots with fastboot and do the flash-all twice, hopefully that works, or do the 8.0.0 flash-all again (maybe on each slot) but boot up and setup completely before doing any boot mods. That helped me several times when flashing the whole factory image, to boot up completely instead of rushing the process.

Also, there may be a specific change to vendor.img or another that

fastboot flash --a (or) --b xxx.img

would help with if flash-all is too automatic
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jake5253:
At one point yesterday I'm pretty sure I was rushing things. I did a flashall for an older version of 7.1, I think from april or may, then immediately tried to hop into TWRP (older version for 7.1.x) and it kept erasing all my internal storage between boots. Looking back, that must have been because I didnt let Android boot yet and it hadn't *actually* created a fully functional Internal Storage yet.

I just tried your suggestion of doing a full wipe and staying out of TWRP for now. I was able to use fastboot to switch slots between flashalls. Currently waiting for all the app updates to complete. On a positive note I currently have 2 bars of LTE. Unable to comment on Messages or connection reliability at this time.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] enginuity2:
So far they look about even in hardware specs and while the US998 model will likely feature an unlockable bootloader, is it worth it compared to the Pixel's dev support?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Pixel XL 2017 won't have headset jack, reportedly. Even though Google made fun of Apple for dropping theirs, and even though LG can do IP68 WITH a headset jack while Apple (so far, with iPhone 7) can only do IP67 without one. :rolleyes:

There's really NO reason to drop the headset jack. You STILL have Bluetooth -- even with headset jack -- if you want to use ear pods or whatever. It's not either/or. Just like Qi wireless charging. I use Qi wireless when I can, but yeah sometimes I plug in. It's nice to have both options.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] milan187:
If dev support is you number one priority Pixel will always be the better choice. However you seem to be loosing so many features by going with the Pixel.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] RojasTKD:
Depends what's important to you.

Audio: HiFi audio and headphone jack important then the V30 is the only real option

Camera: Manual mode, features and wide angle or a likely excellent auto camera?

Storage: Expandable storage yes or no.

Look and design: I think the V30 is a nce looking device the Pixel not 100% sure yet.

OS: Is stock android and faster update important to you? Same with dev support.

I don't think it that hard once you think about what's important to you. For me it's the V30 over the pixel all day.

Will the v30 get an unlockable bootloader?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes, the U.S. and European carrier unlocked versions will be eligible for official LG bootloader unlock. REAL bootloader unlock, not the "faux" bootloader unlock the T-mobile LG G6 got. Six months later there's still no root nor TWRP nor custom ROMs that can be flashed on T-mobile LG G6, while there's t

ons of dev work on the U.S. and European "carrier unlocked" LG G, which got REAL bootloader unlock.

You can check the list here and it will be updated when the LG V30 carrier unlocked versions are released.

LG Developer - Unlock Bootloader -Supported Devices

http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703

The U.S. carrier unlocked version will be LG V30 US998.USA

And yes the "carrier unlocked" LG G6 US998 will have LTE band 71.

T-mobile confirmed it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] EasyDeath:
Google Pixel 1 was a retarded device (see nexus 6 design, it was 100 times better and with less bezels)

Google pixel 2 seems to be retarded also, BUT Pixel 2 XL seems to have a nice design with small bezels but no audio jack HAHA (copying apple eh?)

If they don't put something like dual camera wide angle, front facing autofocus 2/4k camera and super mega large battery, then they can keep that thing;

still here in europe they don't sell pixel 1, so no one will give a **** about pixel 2

sad to say, but samsung is doing a really great job with their S8/+ phones
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] 20degrees:
They are selling well. They've always had an issue with 3rd party audio apps streaming Bluetooth with the track data to other devices though - For me at least. Audio volume and quality is something I dislike with Samsung too. And for the s8 and s8+,I hate bixby and that stupid dedicated button. I don't have the need to talk to a virtual assistant. /rant
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] dieselhazza:
I'd go with Pixel XL 2. It it will always be running latest OS. However if you care about camera and audio then V30 is the way to go. For me the pixel xl had a great camera and Pixel XL 2 will excell that. Nothing to worry about. I love the design of the V30 however long term use the Pixel XL 2 is a definitely better option. I'm currently using the XZ Premium which I'm very happy with coming from Samsung. My next phone would be pixel though. Also you might want to wait for the Mate 10 which would be another beast.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Lechium:
I'm sort of torn between Pixel XL2 and LG V30. If you want dev support, Pixel all the way. There is no way to know in which circumstances the V30 will get an unlockable bootloader.

Coming from a Xperia Z2 and later a Xperia Z5, I have a bitter taste in my mouth. If you unlocked your bootloader, you'd delete your TA partitions (which enabled Sony's propriatery camera functions). So despite selling amazing camera hardware to many phone companies, and supposedly using the best on their own phones, you'd get a ****ty camera performance when you had a rooted phone.

LG makes me quite cautious on this matter. Yes we have a 1.6" aperture which will let in more light in dark conditions, but we have a smaller sensor as well. Instead of hardware developments we see a lot of software -gimmicks or features- however you'd want to name them. If i lose any of those features/gimmicks on an open bootloader on a custom rom, or a different camera app I'd be furious. I don't want a locked down and forced software covering bad quality (like Samsung's over saturation of everything, not that they have bad hardware) Pre-release software V30's don't always seem to be doing fantastic on image processing (and sometimes they're amazing) and even though they are pre-release specimens I'd hate to have another gamble with this.

Pixel on the other hand, seems like it'll have a huge sensor. That'll be hard to **** up with software (even though it was Pixels amazing camera firmware that gave it those amazing shots). Honestly, I don't care about a second camera on my phone. I want a proper main camera and thats it. IF and only IF my phone is going to have two cameras, I'd like to have them in "Wide>Monochrome>telephoto" order. IF i have to. That is why I'm going with the V30 and not the Note8 (that, and the 6" sweet spot on the small bezel screens. Anything below 6" seems to narrow, and anything above 6" seems too big and a waste of battery considering the smaller batteries they come with because of the smaller body)

I love the Quad DAC, and I love the headphone jack, but I'd rather have a stereo speaker setup. I often find myself connecting to my car bluetooth or a bluetooth speaker if I'm on a camp or something. Hell I'll just keep a pair of wireless headphones on me. Which is why I don't lament the loss of a replacable battery. I have tons of rechargeable items on me at any time now. So I'd rahter just carry a powerbank and charge anything, instead of replace the battery on my phone.

Wireless charging is one of those things where you don't know how much you needed them until you have them. So I'd like that as well.

I can go forever on this. (I feel like I already have)

So to sum it up:

Dev support: Pixel

Multimedia consumption/creation: V30 (unless the camera ****s up massively)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ParanoidParanoid:
For me it'll be V30 most likely, for the DAC and jack (and then design). One of the unlocked ones, so that hopefully I can root and get rid of whatever bloat it comes with and restore it to the closest stock experience possible. I'm not too hopeful on custom ROMs though as I think the DAC won't be supported for some time (will it ever? not sure the V20 ROMs ever got it?).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes there is. The U.S. and European "carrier unlocked" LG V30 versions will be eligible for bootloader unlock, just like with LG G6, V20, LG V10, LG G5, LG G4, etc.

Go look at this pattern:

http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703

And stay away from carrier stores. T-Mobile proved with the LG G6 and Samsung models this year they are no longer dev friendly.

But I do agree with your other comments about no stereo speakers. LG missed an opportunity.

I also agree about Qi wireless charging. I won't buy a phone without it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Lechium:
I did read your original post regarding this, and makes a lot of sense.

What I meant to say was that we don't know if we'll lose any functionality by unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom rom. I say this because of my history with the Xperia Z series. I know LG didn't do something like this before, but there was a lot of software focus on the presentation. Some of it might be tied down to LG's original rom.

The lack of stereo speakers in such an audio-centric device bother me a lot honestly. I mean there is already a speaker placed up there for calls. Just make it a little higher in quality. Sure it won't be boomsound unless they spend more money on it and lose profits, but we'd atleast be able to understand where a certain sound is coming from. A ton of songs use stereo effects, let alone videos.

And as a last point, we don't have carrier-branded phones where I live so I'm safe on that regard. But like you said, if we had them, I wouldn't touch them with a ten feet pole.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Ah, I mis-read your post then. "There is no way to know in which circumstances the V30 will get an unlockable bootloader", I thought you meant which situations LG would allow it. You meant what complications would come with that.

You are correct. Last year, the ZTE Axon 7 -- the one with the award-winning quad DAC and excellent front-facing speakers (cough, LG should have done that) -- made a decision to have a user-unlocked bootloader. BUT ZTE kept their quad DAC code under lock and seal. It was proprietary. So, while users could root the phone, with CM/Lineage custom ROM, there were lots of audio issues for months. Audio was badly distorted. Finally CM/LOS dev and others got that distortion under control, but I'm still not sure they are able to let custom ROMs use the quad DAC the way the stock firmware does. (I stopped keeping track about six months ago.)

As a result, many users stuck with stock firmware for best experience. Yes, it could still be rooted, and yes there's Gravity Box you can use with stock firmware so you can use the quad DAC functionality. And yes the ZTE Axon 7 still had the exact same 5.5" AMOLED 1444p display the Pixel XL had. But you lost all that great audio functionality if you installed custom ROM. (At least for several months, I don't know the current situation.)

So, you are right. There's tons of magic in this LG V30 (audio and camera), but depending on if LG lets devs have access to that, it's possible custom ROM experience would suffer.

Feels like the whole Nexus 5 vs LG G2 saga all over again. :p

I had both and while the Nexus 5 was way smoother than the G2, the G2 was by far the better phone as they cut way too many corners on the Nexus 5. :crying:

Will be interesting to see how this one pans out.

Personally, I'd go for the V30. Don't buy this whole, "Courage," crap and bet the battery in the Pixel 2 wont be as good as the V30. Thinking about USB type C, if only they'd designed the port to be round.

hey guys

like many here i pre ordered the note 8. i also have a UAG Monarch case pre ordered.

since this is my first phone with a edge screen i noticed that it will be kinda hard to find a good screen protector. for 2 days im looking through amazon to find something but for now it seems impossible to find something decent.

glass screen protectors seem to be really bad on edge phones so i really don't want or need one of those. also because i only get a screen protector for minor scratches and not for other reasons like a shattered screen.

also there are so many cheap asia products which seem to be from the same factory but just rebranded with different names. the protectors, the packaging, everything looks the same except the name on it. mostly them, but also many others got so many fake reviews that i will not buy them ever, even if they were really good, which i doubt.

for example stuff from those companys: supcase, profer, cubevit, g-color, danibos, klearlook, moko, yootech and so on. all fake and crap.

i also looked for a s8+ screen protector just so i can see which brand is good and which one i should get for the note 8 but there isn't even something good for the s8+. WTF!!! even the one from spigen seems to be crap.

so can any one in here recommend me a simple nice tpu screen protector with edge sides covered which will also be case friendly???

i had a s4 before and i took of my screen protector 6 months ago. since then i got many minor scratches even tho i got nothing then my phone in my pockets. so i don't want this to happen with my new phone.

please guys im getting crazy here. only 10 more days to find something. thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] chrisknife:
ok i think i will try this one and hope it will be good.

maybe someone else in here tried this brand already on s8/s8+ and can tell me something about it?

I'm not a big fan of plastic protectors - in terms to protecting against scratches they are better than nothing, but generally suffer from poor oleophobic properties, don't feel as "slick" as glass, and sometimes mark up when using the S-Pen.
