still having same issue, tried on 2 PCs, installed corona usb driver, then LGMDP, all fine phone connects with no issues, downloads NV backup then switches to emergency mode where i can't see the phone's serial port :mad:

Also with phone connected in emergency mode i can't restart my PC, or uninstall the driver in add/remove programs because it freezes.

Any advices?

Also Euro version shows all data imei release date and shows Normal Mode active.

The US and the other versions show EMERGENCY MODE, but when i press 'Select Image' nothing happens :(

K20 Radio with Bluetooth turn on

Dear all,

Is it still need to switch on Bluetooth when switch on Radio at the new ROM?

Will incoming call still interrupt Radio, need manually to switch on Radio after end call?

Also, about the RAM, still only got 3XM after a soft reset?

Thanks

Chris

Should be fixed in the later rom versions.

Be sure your device is unpluged when instaling drivers. If this does not help, try to restart your computer, turn off any unutil apps and try again.

It's not an English rom. It's an Italian as I remember rom and some people report some bugs. Don't install this rom.

Need instruction to extract ROM

Hi, I'm from Malaysia and recently bought a LG KS20. Its english and unbranded (should be unlocked then). Is there specific instructions that will enable me to extract the ROM to be uploaded? By the way, the firmware is 10c. Anyway to upgrade it to English 10f ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stylus1828:
English ROM 10f NO! French Rom 10F YeS ! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MarcosC:
Can you test (or has someone already tested) if the PocketHAL problem is solved with 10c ? Installing PointUI (or most games) would be a way of testing it ...

I don't mind having 10c instead of 10e or 10f, as long as it's in English and the Pocket HAL bug is gone ...

Yes the video drivers' issuess have been fixed. Applications that use PocketHAL (such as PointUI) now are working on the KS20.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kaiyi82:
PointUI works, but not perfectly (I'm not sure if its PointUI bug). Sometimes a screen will just hang there, not refreshing (the phone still works, I can end its task). The only way is to wait for it to refresh or just quit the app and begin again. Other than that quirk, its working perfectly with the slides motion, transitions, just that sometimes it just hangs. Video at 320x240 (3gp format) is choppy and blocky with default windows media player, i'm not sure if its due to driver, but installing and using TCPMP 0.72 gives me good quality playback (maybe superior decoder). Streaming youtube works out of the box, but only for GSM data connection. Using wifi, you need to set the phone to DMZ zone before it can stream, unlike HTC phones. Sometimes, connecting to Wifi stations can be a hassle, switching on the bluetooth enables it to connect, then you can switch off the bluetooth. Other than that, not much trouble, I'm one happy customer, but it doesn't feel very much faster than a HTC Touch although the processor is double the speed. Anyone can answer this? But the amount of RAM available is incredible! 39mb after boot is just fantastic, or its just me?

hi stylus

did you experience with english rom? i go through posts here and gsm knowing you are still seeking the rom now. did you get the rom from Vygis?

tell me more

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stylus1828:
i'm trying to convince users that have the english rom to dump it and share it with me so i can upload it here ... but ... for now english rom users are afraid to dump it because they believe that this procedure will harm there phones ... :( to get the rom from Vygis i would need the Vygis toolbox ... that is very expensive.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MarcosC:
I have 10b and PointUI doesn't even show anything on the screen (and Call of Duty doens't work as well, just to mention one game). So this ROM is indeed a progress.

As for performance, I wouldn't expect such an improvement from double processor speed anyway, since there are so many other factors that also influence it. It could be as well that the MSM7200 drivers from LG are also not optimized, but who knows ?

Anyway, the instructions on how to dump the ROM are on message #58 on this thread. I (and a lot other people in this forum, I guess) are hoping that you can make it :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kaiyi82:
I do really hope I can contribute a bit to the forum, being a programmer myself. Therefore I'm quite adventurous when it comes to modding/hacking. But one question first, does the process requires me to reset my phone to factory reset? That is I will lose the contacts and informations I have in the phone (I have backup, just in case)?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] boysana:
Ok well if that is your concern how about just syncing with outlook, transferring your photos etc and the going for it? Alternatively I think that using the LGMDP program you can make a back up of your files...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kaiyi82:
Okay. Managed to change the port to LG composite. But when i plug it into my computer, it asks for a driver, which I'm unable to provide and not in the LGMDP software. By the way I'm using windows vista. Is it ok? Because when I tried to scan for port without installing driver, it returned no results, just blank.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] boysana:
the instructions on page 58 which are:-

will this work or not? i whant to know for sure!

I found this guide on a forum about how to dump a rom:

1/Configure your KS20 as for of sim-unlock (enable communication in Diag mode)

which is

enter code 2676625720#

menu will show, press

Port Setting → 1. Diag Setting → 1. USB Set for Diag → “OK” → “Back”.

(Port Setting → 1. Diag Setting →) 2. USB Switching → “LG Composite -DUN, DIAG”.

press "Done" and reset your device.

2/No Activate the sleep mode (the GSM has to remain active not to interrupt Com).

3/Install LGMDP_1_1_.5_Build_12.11_Release (you will find it on GSMFORUM)

http://rapidshare.de/files/38526282/...lease.zip.html

4/Launch LGMDP_EURO.exe a window opens and looks for your device. Click Connect

5/Close the first window which opens just after the connection,

6/Then in the main window click Download.

7/The soft creates a file with the extension NV2 (type NV_KS20_20080315-134929.nv2)

Then please upload it to a site"

Now these instructions only let you save an .nv2 file which is a back-up file and at this stage does not help in reconstructing a flashable ROM. So although I am sure a .nv2 file from an English ROM phone would be interesting to somebody who is trying to construct a flashable ROM, at this stage it does not really help in that regard...

I may be wrong but that is how I understand it, all flashable ROM's have not been extracted but have been made available from LG service centres.

@kaiyi82

I can only agree. PointUI works, but not proper.Sometimes a screen will just hang there.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mrbig2000:
@kaiyi82

you have to soft-reset the Mobile after the diag and USB settings.

The connection on vista works, I did it myself today. You find both driver packs (modem and USB) in one of the threads.

For the connection to work, you should find a "LG modem" in your device manager under "modems".

Here it is: http://rapidshare.de/files/38526282/...lease.zip.html

if you have any further problems, I can email you everything you need.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kaiyi82:
@mrbig2000

Oops, the link you provided is incomplete. Could you repost the proper link so I can get to the drivers? By the way, I think i got the settings right already, since after soft reset, activesync wouldn't detect my mobile again, until I changed back the USB protocol. Thanks!

I tried to flash my KS20 with V10F (French) but when phone is rebooting, a message deals about "Illegal use"
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mathieulh:
That is because you tried to flash the unbranded rom, not the SFR one, but most KS20 phones are CID locked and do not accept the unbranded roms. The lock is defined in the NV part of the phone, if someone knows how to edit/patch the NV he can remove the CID lock and also do other things such as activating the GPS chip on the KS20 (you'd probably still need an antena to make it work though). As long as your phone remains CID locked you will only be able to flash SFR/Vodaphone roms (and probably other branded roms) into it.

About CID lock, I believe the CID unlock code for the phone (if there is one) should be located at the offset 0x01C658 of your phone's NV file (right above the NCK network unlock code which should be located at offset 0x1C6DD of your NV file.) I am not sure if that code is really the CID unlock code (it could just be another NCK code for all I know) or how to enter it but it is probably done through typing 2945#*20# (the sequence that makes the phone prompt for the NCK code) or such a similar sequence on your phone.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] gorko122:
Hi,

I've received my Mi A1 yesterday in exchange for my Nexus 5X.

After powering on the phone, I could choose to restore from "the cloud". After entering my Google credentials, the phone didn't let met choose which backup I'd like to restore. On my 5X and also on the Nexus 5 it could choose a backup and then install all apps including (partially) app settings automatically.

Here on the Mi A1 no apps were restored and also if I install a previously used app from Google Play, the settings aren't restored. In the settings I've ticked the checkbox to restore app settings.

Does anyone have an idea about how to install all apps automatically or at least how to restore the app settings from the Google Drive backup?

Hi guys, I'm needing help with identifying issues I have recently after nougat update (Stock - Australian variant by the way)

1 - The battery life is getting as suck as SOT of 3 hrs or extra 30 mins at best (it was 4 hrs 20 mins + when I first got it late 2016)

2 - When the battery is low (below 20%) it sometimes enter bootloops for 3-5 loops.

I tried clearing cache in recovery / factory reset - not sure if it's nougat issue or the battery is already wear-downed in this case which would've been ridiculous for HTC standard as it usually happens only after 2 years or something.

By the way, I've attached the recent day of drainage and wakelocks etc.

any helps would be appreciated :)

yes on Mi A1, wave gesture work without problem but pickup to wake works only on paid version after enabling "tilt and lift to wake option", in any case it is not much reactive but work.

HI, DT to wake does not work, it is a feature that must be implemented at kernel level, so only with a custom kernel it can be eventually enabled.

Hi,

I realized that with the Always on Display and with the setting for Edge only, I still see the stars in the background (using the default wallpaper). Doesn't this mean that even more battery is being used than with the standard full screen Always on Display? Isn't it supposed to only use certain LED's on the screen to conserve battery? If so, is it not possible to have the Edge setting on and save battery by disabling the background?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nixher:
You could try not using one of the built in live wallpapers, that's where the stars come from.

About 3% to 5% in my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vndnguyen:
You can turn on AOD feature, but when you put the phone on the desk for a long time without touching it, just put a small piece of paper (sticky paper) over the top of the screen (above the proximity sensor).

That way the AOD screen will be turned off in a couple of seconds.

When you need to check time or notifications, just lift up the sticky paper and the AOD will come back on.

You can save several % of battery using this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pedmond:
That, or face down :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pyraxiate:
Weird. Mines on with a custom picture ( I converted to grey scale ) and unplugged overnight i only lose about 3-5% total. I haven't tested without AOD but it can't be using more than 2-3% tops as I'm sure the system is using up most of the battery while I sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kookie:
I have a custom AOD and battery life is fine. Its good to glance and see the time without having to pick it up and unlocking.
