[AT&T LG G4] unfrozen:
I bought an LG G4 H810 from a 3rd party seller on newegg.com just over a month ago. It was working normally since I got it until 2 days ago when the screen went dark while I was using it. After this I couldn't get the screen to come back on, and couldn't get any sign of life from it at all. Plugging it into a charger seems to do nothing, with or without a battery installed. Holding the power button for 30+ seconds also does nothing. When I plug it into my Windows 10 PC without the battery in, I get a "connected device" sound within about a second and Device Manager shows "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)." This goes away when I unplug it, and I get the "disconnected device" sound. If I plug it in with the battery installed, the "connected device" sound happens after 10 or so seconds and Device Manager instead shows "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)." In either case, it does not appear under "This PC" on Windows Explorer. It did when before it died.

When I got the phone I rooted it and discovered that there's no established way on the forums here to install a custom rom without losing network functionality. I instantly regretted getting the AT&T version, as I have Ting, which uses T-Mobile's network anyway. I had to follow instructions on Ting.com just to get data working with the network. I now regret buying a refurbished phone through newegg without buying an extended warranty.

It would be great if there's some way to get this phone working again, but failing that, I'd love to be able to recover the data on the device. I haven't been able to find much on what might be wrong, but almost all searches lead me to a boot loop problem, which I don't seem to be having. I get no signs of life from the phone at all (no screen, lights, sounds, or vibrations). I might try getting a new battery, but I don't expect that to help because before the phone died, the screen would come on when I plugged it in without a battery (indicating the lack of battery). Now there is nothing.

UPDATE: The seller agreed to refund the purchase price if I send it back, so I that's what I did. I thought I was stuck with this brick.

Am looking for a belt clip or holster.

Have used seido for all my previous phones. No such case for this one?

[Essential Phone Accessories] pastryman:
Just a thought

Love my Essential phone but have always used a holster case. Nothing specific yet but PDAir Leather holster from Cases.com for Galaxy S7 is a precise fit and E-grips from Amazon cut into narrow strips for the sides of the phone give great grip.

Just a thought.
[Essential Phone Accessories] derausgewanderte:
when I look for a belt clip/holster I want something that lasts. Any of the plastic clips either broke when sitting down in tight spaces or fell apart (I had three of them). I eventually went with TurtleBack holsters. You pay premium, but it's worth every penny. I've been using a 6.25" for a larger phone now for over a year and it still looks great (Nylon).

based on the PH-1's dimensions:

Height: 141.5mm = 5.57 inches

Width: 71.1mm = 2.8 inches

​

the 5.5" X 3" here should work.

If you will use a case then the next size up (5.87" X 3.25") should work great.

https://cdn3.bigcommerce.com/s-dom6...dm-iphone-dual._836__62182.1426190383.jpg?c=2

$26 with free shipping

I just ordered the larger of the two. The holster I have now is too roomy and the phone moves too much. I'll update this with pictures once I get it.
[Essential Phone Accessories] SimpTheChimp:
HA! I got the exact same one today! :) Size Large (the extra large seemed a little too big)

For $9.98 it works fine, I bought another one on EBay but it was too tight - every time I put it in the holster the elastic sides would press against the power button, causing the phone to either turn and stay on, or go into bootloader mode! No good, so had to return it; this one from Walmart was cheaper and works better.

Now I want to add the Olixar Ultra-Thin Phone Case bumper guard when it comes out - hopefully the phone will still fit into this holster case.
[Essential Phone Accessories] xela19115:
I reached out to MobileFun.com a few weeks ago about that Olixar case and they absolutely have no ETA on that. My guess, never. I am using Incipio NGP Pure clear case and it works just fine with that holster.

Anybody got the Olycism Essential PH-1 Phone Case cover (search for 'Olycism Essential PH-1 Phone Case cover' @ Amazon)? I like what I am seeing because I like having a recessed opening (rather than covers) for the side buttons.

Just wondering if anyone had one and what they thought of it.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Zargone:
Seidio

I also like Seidio. I sent them an email and got a VERY fast response. They do not intent to make a case for the Essential Phone at this time.
[Essential Phone Accessories] roebling:
Just stumbled upon a Seidio-style clam case & holster. I got hooked on these years ago, when Verizon sold them for each of their smartphones for $29. The rigid clam cases have protected my phones so well I've almost always been able to resell them as ""mint" condition, top dollar. The matching belt holster protects the glass while still allowing me to remove & use the phones one-handed. I'd given up on getting a clam case/holster for my Essential, though, rationalizing that the production numbers were too small. Then I stumbled across the picture (attached). Ordered mine today from Amazon. It's on eBay, too, but eBay's system wasn't working, failed (repeatedly) at the credit card info screen. The previous clam case/holster combos I've bought were all of a fine, tough plastic with a film of rubber texture overlaid & a velvety material on the inside of the holster that protected the phones' screens. This set appears to be the same but I haven't used it or even received it so I don't yet know if this product will be of the same rugged quality.

Here's the Amazin link:

[Essential Phone Accessories] freshlysqueezed:
Just received mine from eBay.

The case itself provides good protection for the back of the phone and the sides, but does not protect the top and bottom of the phone where the ceramic meets the display glass. With the phone in the holster, all edges are protected.

The kickstand is actually pretty useful.

Unlike Sedio, the phone does not "click" in and out of the holster. Rather, you have to slide it in and out, which takes a bit more focus.

The best surprise is the tempered glass protector. It covers the entire display including the camera. It has a black border that matches the display perfectly. It also has clear areas for the sensors around the front camera. It only has adhesive along the border but the glass matches the case perfectly, so the edges don't lift up. No Halo or rainbow effect. Only negative is the fingerprints are more visible.

All in all, I'm going to use this combo, as I need a belt holster for my line of work.
[Essential Phone Accessories] fastoy:
I was wondering if the Sedio spring clip holster for the iPhone X would fit? The PH-1 is just a little shorter but otherwise the same size.

[Essential Phone Accessories] zswielder:
Just wondering if we have better solutions after all this time. What are people using?
[Essential Phone Accessories] fastoy:
This is what I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017HVSF2O/. It fits good and holds well. The height and width are perfect but the depth of the PH-1 is less than the iPhone 6/6S with Otterbox case that the holster is designed for. This makes the lower clips protrude and catch on things every now and again.

https://imgur.com/a/1GZ8W0p
[Essential Phone Accessories] zswielder:
Thanks for sharing. I wonder if it would fit perfectly if we put PH-1 in a thicker case like these? They are both triple-layer cases, so I'm guessing they an add a good thickness.

[Essential Phone Accessories] fastoy:
Adding thinkness would likely add width and height. Try it and see.

I tried https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075H2JRN1/ which you would think would fit but the iPhone X has ROUND corners where the PH-1's are much more squared off.
[Essential Phone Accessories] zswielder:
Good point. What kind of case do you have on yours that still fits into that iPhone 6 clip holder?
[Essential Phone Accessories] fastoy:
No case.
[Essential Phone Accessories] zswielder:
Oh ok. Do you think it'd be too tight if I have a TPU case like this on?

[Essential Phone Accessories] p51d007:
I HIGHLY recommend the Turtleback case.

After 10 years of trying this case & that, either breaking the clip that holds it to the belt, or the case itself not

holding up, after over a year, it looks just like it did.

Being left handed, I wear mine on the left hip, and getting in and out of the car, it will snag on the seat or the seat belt.

The Turtleback is made like an Abrams tank!
[Essential Phone Accessories] derausgewanderte:
Yep, totally agree, see my post on page one. I have two now, one for the ph1 and one for the mate pro. It's made similar to gun holster and impossible to break. Everything I tried before broke, for me when getting in and out of airplane seats.

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] effervescentgalaxies:
My phone did an automatic system update earlier, and when it turned back on a bunch of my apps were missing, so I restarted it again to see if I could get them to boot properly (it's happened like that before). Then it wouldn't turn on all the way, it just kept cycling between the three power on/off screens for several hours. I tried wiping the cache several times and rebooting from the recovery screen, then a factory reset and reboot, but every time I try it brings up a bunch of error messages display, mostly E: failed to mount/cache (Invalid argument); E: can't mount/cache/recovery/last_recovery; E: can't mount/cache/recovery/log; and E: can't open/cache/recovery/log.

Any idea what I can do to at least turn my phone back on?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] Hypexed:
Try downloading Samsung Switch on a PC. It has an emergency recovery mode. It should see it when you plug it in via USB.

You may need to restart it in download mode, with powering off, then pressing vol down, home and power together until it loads up into a menu. Then press vol up to confirm it.

Now plug it in with USB cable. Select More from Switch and then the Emergency recovery option. Your device should show up. Then you should be able reset the firmware.

Hi!

I am having problems with my trinity and I need to send it to customer support, so I loaded SSPL and flashed back the original ROM as described here.

The problem is now, that at startup, red numbers still appear as shown in the attached picture. I am pretty sure that these numbers were not there before I upgraded to HardSPL and WM6 (bepe WM6 ger 0.79). When I enter the boodlader manually, it says "SSPL". What went wrong? How can I get rid of these numbers and return original device state?

PS: The reason why I need so send my trinity back to HTC is, that the device often crashes at startup or during runtime and the screen freezes with some graphical errors, which can also be seen on the attached image.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Hacker@lho:
i think that numbers appear in the original bootloader, i remember that...
[P3600 Software Upgrading] staubsaug:

[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] boofman:

[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] muwahhid25:
I did update to Nougat. My use is very limited but I find battery timing much improved and multi window is way better.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] NiffStipples:
first of all - if you're satisfied with your device as it is don't update! It (unfortunately) doesn't get any better. They removed two important features - at least for me. There are no floating apps anymore - so if you want to use the small version of (for example) the google play music player while you're browsing you will have to use the splitscreen with dramatically decreased space for your browser left. So basically this means less convenience for you. The other thing is the (absolutely) useless "recent apps" view. In the past the whole screen was used by displaying the apps as tiles - now you only see them in the (for big tablet screens) useless card view.

Sorry - i always hate it when something really good just gets abandoned and replaced by something far inferior

I also found out, that manufacturers of 10"+ Tablets are encouraged to implement the native Android N freeform mode - so why has lenovo left this out of their update? I hope it gets back on the device with a later update.

P.S.: Android 7.0 CDD states that:

Device implementations with screen size xlarge SHOULD support freeform mode.

In the parlance of this CDD, there appear to be three levels of endorsement: SHOULD, STRONLY ENCOURAGED, and MUST. SHOULD is the weakest of the three, but it is still an endorsement.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] boofman:
Thanks buddy. I think I'm better off skipping this update.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] morrolinux:
Wrong, wrong, wrong

First of all, updates are really important for android devices in general. And especially for manufacturers like Lenovo which is known to let their product outdated pretty early. Personally, I'm impressed this time they updated to Android N even before schedule, and I'm hoping they continue releasing updates not to let this amazing product die.

As for the features you talk about:

1) floating windows in freeform is natively supported in android N and just need to be enabled in developer options (one of the last entries under App category). You can install "Taskbar" app to launch all of your apps in window mode by using the native method, and resize them as you like by dragging on the bottom-right corner (which previously was not possible).

2) It is true that Task manager with tiles view was a more clean way to switch between apps on this device, but the needing of double-pressing the TAB button when alt-tabbing beween apps, always made it uneffective and uncomfortable to me. Now ALT-TAB switch between apps just flawlessly as in a standard computer. Hence, i'm really happy with that.

3) I find overall performance have gotten slightly better with the recent N update: i can notice that in the UI and in games too! other users on other threads are talking about a slightly better battery performance too, so it seems like they optimized the hardware support somehow.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] NiffStipples:
Thanks for the suggestion of taskbar - i've already tried it before and imho it's just not that convenient as a rom included solution. Beside the fact that you would have to use an unnecessary extra app for a native android function, it's not really intuitive in it's handling - but i have to admit, that every user will see that different depending on their needs :) My question is just why lenovo hasn't implemented this standard feature in a neat and handy way?

Speaking of different user needs/requirements - i've personally never used the Alt-Tab combi on my tab. In my daily use i use it most of the time in tent mode without the keyboard.

As to the performance - i didn't really noticed a change here. But in my opinion it was already really snappy before the update so maybe i can't rate that improvement. Maybe the animations between app switches got nicer but it's possible that i deactivated them before the update by myself - so nevermind :)
