Pls how can I update the firmware of my bluegate 55" smart TV? I've not seen any updates yet, so will be glad if anyone on this forum can help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babajitheone:
SO I FOUND A THREAD ON QOURA AND THE PERSON BELONGED TO THE FIELD OF INSTALLING AND REPAIRING TV SAID THAT THE COMPANY VU DOES NOT

GIVE FIRMWARE ON ANY SITE AND YOU MUST CONTACT THEM AND THEN THEY WILL SEND YOU THE UPDATE VIA EMAIL.

I AM FACING THE SAME ISSUE IN MY VU 43BU114 (SAME ICONIUM SERIES ) AND WILL TRY IT OUT
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praphulla:
HI, i am facing the same issue. the Vu tv hardware is based on mt5861 chipset.

the os is generic android based on 4.4.3 version.

MTK Generic Android on mt5861 - Geekbench

Benchmark results for a MTK Generic Android on mt5861 with an ARM MT5861 processor.

browser.geekbench.com

Can we install new available TV OS on this?

Hi Babajitheone,

Any reply from VU Team. Did you upgraded your TV. I Have VU 43BU113.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpha6104:
Hi everyone,I have the same VU iconium 4k Android tv model(43BU113).I am having the same issue it's totally waste of money .One thing that I can suggest you that you should buy a "Amazon fire TV stick 4k".It will be a better option as you will connect with the fire TV stick with your HDMI port with your VU tv and make your TV the Real time 4k tv and having unlimited apps in the fire tv .It will be worth if you'll buy it!

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] epoch555:
Is there a way to make your own APK with a custom font? The ones on LGs ecosystem are all for 12 year old girls for the most part. I'd love to install Google Product Sans..
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] dark_prince:
There is one person in play store who is able to create apk which directly installs font without the need of lg smartworld crap.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.wsdeveloper.edge

Read description and u will find JIOgougu font apk which works perfectly for LG framework. I don't know how that guy did it but If we know the way, we can start making our own custom fonts for unrooted v30/v20/G6/G5.

Sorry for Necro but I need Google product sans for my v20 too. And I really hope someone figures out how to make LG compatible font packages in apks
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Negan:
That's incorrect. All he did was take an existing font from smartworld and uploaded it to drive and told people to install it.

He says it's his but I assure you it isn't. That guy is notorious for stealing other people's work and calling it his own. In fact all his threads on xda were locked due to this and he had several themes removed from Google Play that were littered with my code that he stole lol!

Now the real issue with making an LG font APK is the .dat file inside it. That file can be tinkered with via hex editor and it's really the brains of the operation. I've come very close to getting a font to work but the best I've managed was getting it to install. Unfortunately it didn't show up in the list of selectable fonts. So there's something finicky going on. I've asked the smartworld theme team for access to their font ask but I doubt they'll send me it. Back in September I had a falling out with them but recently tried to rekindle it so we shall see. I'm sure you all have noticed that the themes on smartworld are complete crap. My themes were all on there until September where said falling out occured
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] dark_prince:
LG doesnt even remotely have a guide to make themes / fonts or all those smartworld things. So many crap fonts and themes, glittery, sparkly, girly stuff that makes me almost puke.

I'm traveling atm, but will look into the decompiled apk once I'm home. All that could go bad is I won't get anything out of it.

Sorry to hear that LG didn't even get us with the method on reverse engineering the font packages or actually sources for creating fonts. I have Claro V20 H910PR which doesn't come with LG Smartworld and smartworld doesn't even run on it. The website outright says that my device isn't LG device.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Negan:
Well no they don't but never stopped me! I made my own source to build themes. Actually as crazy as it sounds I made and released one without even having the phone when the V20 came out. I had to wait until I had the money to buy it to even try my own themes! But yes feel free to play with a font APK. I didn't exactly spend tons of time playing with theme. The main thing is that it has to be a ttf font file and the actual name of the ttf file when you open it needs to jive with the .dat file. I just didn't have the patience to stick with it and figure it out.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MWNeutrality:
How did you manage that? I've been trying to make my own theme, but no luck so far. It's hard to find any info about any LG stuff, and any info there is is all in Korean

Edit: Oh, I just realized who you are. I actually use your Pixel 2 theme!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jacrip:
I have an LG V40. I have edited the "JIOgougu" font apk to add my custom font. The apk installs but I don't see my font in settings list to select it. Do you have any idea how to edit the apk to show the font?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Negan:
You simply cannot. They're encrypted in the .dat file. You can try to edit the .dat but it won't work. I believe they also must be signed with the lg font tool which is not available.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] joseph230:
Yup, I have had that issue with 7.1.1 and 7.1.2. I notice it even in other apps, like twitter and such. Very annoying!
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] minik971:
Yes! It happens not only in Chrome, but the video you made is the best example. We need to report this issue and hope it will be fixed in coming updates.

I've talked with Nokia mobile care chat and described that issue, saying it happens not only to my phone. I've linked your video and said it persists not only in Chrome. By the way, scrolling in Firefox works fine. So, there must be a particular, I don't know, function in rendering for some apps which our phone can't handle well.

It would be nice if you also contact with them :)

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] shadimar69:
The demo shows a standard tempered glass screen protector being glued in onto the Gorilla Glass of the ZXP. Looks great and all, but how would you remove it if you damaged the screen protector only? Wouldn't glueing the screen protector on permanently make the replaceable protector sort of redundant? :p

I am all for a great fit screen protector but this does seam a little silly to me. :confused:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] benengyj:
Seems like they have demo videos of the removal - http://www.sgfreshidea.com/mobile-p...e-will-it-affect-your-oleophobic-coating.html
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] whiteangelcl:
yes but please note that we do not use the standard 1000 glue or 2500 you can get on Aliexpress as those glue are extremely hard to remove.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] SNOOPLAYAN:
Hi [MENTION=8634819]whiteangelcl[/MENTION]

How does this type of screen protect differ from the full adhesive tempered glass that you have with the coloured edges?

If I were to order it, do I need the special equipment that you have used during the "curing" process?

I tried so many screen protectors so far and they've all been terrible!

The full adhesive ones didn't cover the entire screens and the ones that covered the entire screen were not full adhesive.

If the screen protectors you have are able to provide full protection without affecting the colour accuracy or the clarity of the 4k display then I will buy it immediately :)

I hope that you can ship to England.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Hi thanks for checking. The main difference is that those with the colored edges will block the color of the top and bottom portion of the phone and the edges on the right and left will cut off the display slightly.

This retail version will be launched in a weeks time and it comes with the full set of equipment necessary to complete the job.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] whiteangelcl:
It does cover the screen fully and also does not impact the color.

We do ship to England but the retail version is not out yet.

Will keep you posted.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] benengyj:
Based on the video, you guys are in Singapore right?

Also, is there a choice of the actual screen protector used? The one in the demo video has cutouts that seem a little "off" (not perfectly centered around the lens and sensor which triggers my OCD) and an extra hole for the notification light.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Hi yes we are from Singapore. There is only 1 type of tempered glass sad to say. There is a small dot at the notification light.

When we were pasting it, the alignment seems to be correct. Perhaps it is a camera angle issue. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] goldenrealm:
Is the retail version out yet?

I recently purchase the Red XZ Premium and is currently unhappy with my tempered glass as it only adhesive to the side only and I can see the adhesive line quite clearly when using the phone
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Hi thanks for asking.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Sorry the last post went wrong.

The retail version will be out soon. We are looking at our final batch of LOCA to meet our standards and we will be releasing it to the retail clients.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] goldenrealm:
Thanks for the reply,

Feel free to notify us here once it's out :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] RJASSI21:
Does this protector lessen the screen quality in anyway? My current protector im using is one of those plastic ones that stretch if you try to strech it. My issue with it is that it creates a rainbow effect when the brightness is high perhaps due to the sticky/glue on it. Does this do that or is it 100% clear to the point where it feels as if I dont have a protector on? Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Hi thanks for asking no it does not lessen the quality in anyway. It is using LOCA to adhere the tempered glass to the display and LOCA is Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive.

It is a piece of tempered glass and due to the adhesive in the middle, there will be no rainbow effect even when the brightness is high.

It does add some thickness to the phone though as it is still a piece of additional tempered glass on top of your display but not to the extent that it becomes very thick.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] RJASSI21:
If this is as perfect as you describe with no alterations to the screen quality and touch performance I will be completely sold on it. Well I am really I just need to try it out for myself now. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Let me tell you the downside. As it is a LOCA based tempered glass, it requires a slightly higher patience level and it is more difficult than pasting a normal protector onto the phone. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] RJASSI21:
Im pretty good at applying protectors to my devices now even with the cheap crappy plastic one I manage to get no bubbles so im sure that shouldnt be too much of a problem.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] whiteangelcl:
That's great. Will keep everyone posted.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Accessories] jaseman:
I have a 1/4 inch long scratch on my screen. You can see it when you look for it and can barely feel it with your fingernail. Will this LOCA protector hide this scratch?

Just installed Slimrom d2att 6.0.1 build 2.1 on Samsung S3 SGHI747 with ARM 6.0 Nano from Open Gapps.

Previous to flashing Rom above I had Slim 4.4.4 build 7.0 Official 5979. Recently had a new sim card installed at a local AT&T store and phone was working fine before flashing Rom. I followed procedures from Slimrom "coming from another ROM or Android version Clean Flash but did a factory reset, wipe cache, and then using TWRP wiped dalvik, cache, system and data, then flashed ROM and Gapps.

Problem: "No SIM card" message. Would factory reset mess up the IMEI? Does this sound like a problem with IMEI?

Pointers and possible fixes are appreciated.

I scoured XDA to find the Verizon pixel 2 XL forum and I'm not seeming to find it. So I thought I would make a Verizon bootloader unlock discussion thread. Has anybody heard any news on anyone working on a bootloader unlock for Verizon?

Here is a link to the LG development bootloader unlock supported device page. Let's all keep our eyes peeled on this to see if LG allows a BL unlock for the pixel 2 xl.

Check the LG developer site. They unlock the bootloader's for LG 6 and numerous other phones. Since the 2 XL is LG. Doesn't hurt to check it out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
I think your best chance would be if jcase and beaups were working on it. Jcase has retired. I'm not saying it won't happen, but I think it very unlikely that we will ever see a VZW Pixel XL 2 with an unlocked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bash_array:
Great idea. I'll check
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lucky_strike33:
Jcase and beaups only work with htc and motorolla phones
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
Sorry but you're wrong. The original unlock for the Pixel XL was created by jcase and beaups. Remember, the original Pixel's were HTC hardware.

If you REALLY want an unlocked BL. Sell your VZW version and buy direct from Google.

Very VERY rarely do VZW BL's get cracked. Exceptions are Jcase usually but that's Moto/HTC.

Sorry to be yet another Debby Downer. But the VZW edition is not what you're looking for. If that's all you could get, then you're SOL and I wouldn't hold my breath. As someone who has been with VZW for almost a decade +. It's once in a blue moon when it does happen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] silgelphoto:
Can you achieve root without unlocking the BL or is that impossible?

If someone finds an exploit, yeah it's possible. Doubt anyone will be looking for one on the Verizon variant though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] silgelphoto:
::sigh:: I figured... I need to get a new carrier.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pvtjoker42:
or just don't buy the phone from vzw.. I'm on vzw currently and ordered the 2xl from google so won't have any issues.

I'm sure someone will eventually at least root it, bootloader unlock.. maybe.. for the vzw version..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] silgelphoto:
Yeah, but I don't have the cash to buy one outright and I don't want to mess with financing at this time. I'm currently on a family plan with my mom and she's cool with me paying her in chunks randomly since I work as a bartender and money is up and down.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Brian706:
I still don't understand why people interested in unlocking the bootloader and/or rooting buy the Verizon version. Just get the unlocked. You know Verizon is gonna lock you out at every step.

Not intending to sound rude. I'm genuinely curious. Is it because you get a carrier subsidized discount? Even if so, it can't be worth it if you want to unlock the bootloader.

Edit: I missed a page. Yeah now I see cost being mentioned above my post. I get that. It's just... I don't know. I wish you the best of luck for an unlock, but you know the risks when you go Verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] drumst1x:
It is financing either way, no? Either it goes onto your Verizon account each month, or it goes to a new Google credit account each month. It's not any cheaper from Verizon, you just end up having the locked-down phone, which seems like totally NOT what you want. I don't see why you'd say that you need to switch carriers.. if you did, you'd still need a credit check just like you would for the google financing.

I'd suggest returning your VZW phone (i believe you get 15 days? maybe 30?) and sign up for the financing ... it's like 40 bucks a month (for 2 years) for the pixel xl 2 straight from google, I believe.

Good luck :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
I used to get Verizon phones only because they heavily subsidized the cost of the phone with 2 year contracts. They don't do that anymore, so there is officially 0 reason to get one from Verizon anymore unless you want to get a tiny amount of money from trading in your old phone (you're probably better off selling it on ebay or swappa anyway). Also, Google gives a nice trade in bonus for old Google phones. The stock Google Pixel devices do everything that the Verizon phones do.

Best Buy was doing a nice promotion where you could get $100 off a Verizon Pixel 2 XL, but I'll pay the extra money for a phone that I fully own.

Why is she cool with you paying her in chunks for a VZW version but not for a Google version that is the exact same price?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] COMTB:
Personally I don't really care about unlocking the BL (used to do it all the time) but one of the reasons I switched to the Pixel 2 from my S7 was stock android. I stick with vzw because I also have a company discount through them for phones/devices. Add on the trade in value and I get a good sum off the total cost of the phone. Just my .02 but personally with stock android I don't really see a need to unlock the BL. I always flashed stock roms as it was and customized them myself.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] silgelphoto:
My mom doesn't get technology and it all gets too confusing for her at her age so it's easier just to stick with what she knows for cell phones. I have manager permissions on the vzw account so I can hop on and make payments to the bill whenever. She's easily overwhelmed so adding another payment for a phone that's not directly tied to vzw is too confusing.
