[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
I still would've been interested in the v60 because I really don't see a difference in 1080p on this phone. Even the new Galaxy Note 20 runs at 1080p in high refresh mode. The difference in pixel density cannot be noticed unless you use a VR headset. I even love the fact that they added a 5000 mah battery. What I don't like is the 60hz display, my next phone has to have a high refresh rate display. A 1080p display phone is fine in 2020 as long as it has a high refresh rate.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
Agreed.

I am also waiting for LG to launch a phone with a high refresh rate display to upgrade.

I use a Ipad Pro. So I know how a high refresh rate display experience will feel...Like even in day to day tasks.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
As long as LG is sticking with Dual screen concept as the main selling point, we won't see higher refresh rate or a QHD display
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Not sure if LG is gonna make a true flagship anymore. The v60 is the last v series phone. They may take the Pixel route and stick to "flagship mid-range" phones like the velvet.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
They need to ditch the stupid full dual display obsession no one wants. We want higher resolution and higher refresh rate.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
True...But LG always likes to stand away from the market trend and wants to be different. Thus, I think dual screen is not going anywhere untill 2021 atleast I guess. Maybe 90Hz is possible on both the displays in v70 or whatever the next flagship is.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Lg didn't do that because then it'd shorten the battery life considerably apart from increasing the cost
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
High resolution and high refresh rate are both not possible together on any phone. You gotta pick one.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You're wrong. ;) OnePlus does it.

* They first did it last year (2019) with OnePlus 7T Pro:

QHD+ (1440p) @ 90Hz

https://m.gsmarena.com/oneplus_7t_7t_pro_specs_launch_date_leak-news-39183.php

* And again this year (2020) with OnePlus 8 Pro:

QHD+ (1440p) @ 120Hz

Announcement:

Testing/Review:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/1576...s-8-pro-qhd-resolution-but-still-power-hungry

* And they will obviously continue to do it...

LG could have also offered this spec on their flagship phones, if they wanted. :rolleyes:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
Samsung still hasn't offered QHD+ and 90/120Hz display even with Note 20 Ultra which is surprising.

Also battery issue argument against this is not much valid as shown by OnePlus 8 Pro.

I feel in terms of raw specs Samsung , LG are already lagging behind Chinese OEMs.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Hmm [emoji848]. Yet people prefer the Samsung display. Difference between 1080 and 1440 on a >7" device is not really perceivable.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arcide:
Now that's bollock. Why defend a company's stupid decision to not let people decide if they want the maximum they paid for? To be completely honest, I have no problem with the 1080p display on my current Realme X2 Pro. I never wished it was QHD. But at a SIGNIFICANTLY higher price point than the ~$400 I paid for this one, you should expect better.

Also on what did you base the statement that people prefer the Samsung display? I'd say *reviewers prefer the Samsung display, and not people. Why? It's clearly bias of some sort.

Like Ben from 'ben's gadget reviews' said, whenever Samsung releases a new phone, all reviewers go like "oooh this is the best display ever", even though side by side, almost all the flagships look just as good with the difference in calibration. Then there's also the fact that a lot of those other phones even use the Samsung made displays. Yet in reviewers' hands "the Samsung S Ultra Whatever is cleaaaarly superior". LOL
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Nobody is defending. I'm stating what I see on reviews online and my own observations. There's more to a display than just resolution, people often fail to see that. If you think more money gets you more resolution then why stop at qHD? go demand for 4k displays at 240hz or something if you want the maximum what you pay for.

You cannot try to understand why Samsung or Apple charge so much for some features which seem to be already available on cheaper smartphones, it sure doesn't make sense, but price aside I'm saying that Samsung has the best display out there over-all.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arcide:
Of course there is more to a display than resolution, but it's a dumb move to limit the resolution on such a high end phone, when it would be possible to utilize it. I said 1080p is perfectly fine to me, but this is just a silly limitation.

Once again, that's simply a bias by reviewers. There are bad displays, but those flagships that have good displays are just as good as Samsung phones. When you put them side by side, you can't say "this one completely trumps the other one". It's simply not like that. The differences are neglegible at best. It comes down to whether you like more or less saturation, warmer or cooler colors.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
1) I can perceive it.

2) All top tier phones have had it since 2014. Motorola, LG, Samsung, Sony, Google Pixel, others. Only in the past year have OEMs started trying to cheat us.

People prefer the OnePlus "Samsung" display. ;) OnePlus uses Samsung displays.

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

Sony goes higher than QHD. They have phones that go to 4K and have for years. One example:

Another example

here

. But Sony phones are too expensive and too locked down. If you unlock the bootloader, you lose many features.

However, if OEMs want to give a CHOICE between cheaper 1080p phones and top tier QHD phones, that's fine. That's actually what OnePlus now does.

At first OnePlus claimed they were flagship killers -- when they really just offered a semblance of top tier phone (but with no QHD, no Qi wireless charging, other stuff left out. One year they even left out NFC.) at a reasonable price. I didn't take them seriously because I could see they were really pretenders.

NOW, they have decided to offer "regular" and "Pro" to give their users a choice at two price points. The Pro has real top tier specs (but still no headset jack, no microSD card, so I'm still not a fan). But LG is NOT doing that -- they are not giving a choice. They are trying to pretend their 1080p is top tier. :rolleyes:

They are going backwards.

People recently defending OEMs backtracking to 1080p reminds me of the 720p vs 1080 war. "You can't REALLY see a difference." Yes, you can.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] den10:
Background + Problem:

So the strangest thing happened - went to bed last night after putting the phone on charge and woke up this morning to find the screen on with a "Decrypt Storage" Screen with "To start Android, enter your password". There are only two options you can select - Emergency call and Decrypt. When I type a password (it actually doesn't matter what I type as long it's a keyboard character) and click Decrypt, it shows a screen saying "The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt. To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset". The only option on that screen is "Reset phone". I cannot access the home and recent apps button, only the back button is visible but does not do anything other than vibrate when pressed. Airplane mode is turned on (can be changed by holding power). No other settings are accessible. Screenshots are still able to be taken by power + vol down.

Things I have tried:

Soft , hard and safe mode rebooting all end up with the same loop and bring me back to the "Decrypt Storage" screen.

I can load hboot but can't get into recovery mode - phone immediately shows "entering recovery" before rebooting back into the original decrypt screen. Pressing "Reset phone" also tries to reboot into recovery but ends up on the same screen in a loop (can't factory reset)

Things that kinda work:

Fastboot USB is recognised by the computer (opens the htc sync manager app and "Android phone" appears in device manager but internal storage does not show up).

No idea what caused this to happen, but a quick search shows that many have experienced the same problem with minor differences.

I tried to follow this thread but I cannot see the phone connected through adb devices (no devices detected) and hence cannot run the command.

I'm glad most of my really important data + photos are stored on the microsd but would prefer not to loose the random things stored in internal storage if possible.

Any and all help is immensely and gratefully appreciated! Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijs_Rallye:
You can try booting to TWRP from your harddrive. Reboot the phone to fastboot, copy the TWRP image you have to your adb directory (where your adb and htc_fastboot and such reside) and then use htc_fastboot boot [your_twrp_image.img]. It has been a while, could be that for this one you can (or should) use the regular fastboot from google.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] den10:
Thanks for your help.

By harddrive do you mean sd card? and how can I access the adb + fastboot when I am not able to get the phone recognized to perform adb commands.

Could you please help with a step by step? Sorry It's been a while since I was on XDA with all the rooting and flashing so I'm trying to relearn a few things.

.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijs_Rallye:
No, I mean the harddrive of your PC or laptop.

EDIT: I assume your bootloader is unlocked, if it isn't your in bad luck and the following guide won't work without wiping your device first. (unlocking the bootloader always wipes the device @ a HTC)

You said you are able to put the phone in fastboot mode, so from within fastboot the adb commands don't work, that is what the fastboot programme on your computer is for.

Do you still have the tools of when you rooted your phone? If not, obtain the latest ADB package as well as htc_fastboot.exe (step 0).

1) Download the correct TWRP versions for your device which can be found in this subforum. Renaming it to TWRP.img makes typing easier, but isn't necessary.

2) Copy the TWRP.img (and htc_fastboot) to your ADB directory on your computer.

3) Turn of the active shield of your virus scanner, this could interfere.

4) Open a command prompt with admin priviliges (<windows key> + <R> -> cmd -> <enter>) and navigate to your ADB directory.

5) Boot your phone in fastboot mode and make sure your phone is recognized by your computer. Avoid using USB 3 ports. You can try this by using fastboot getvar all, this should show you some information about your phones configuration. If it doesnt work try plugging the phone to another usb port and keep trying. Rebooting fastboot on the phone can also help. Your display on your phone should read something like Fastboot_USB once connected to your computer.

6) If the connection has been established, type in the command prompt: fastboot boot TWRP.img (or whatever name you've given it). This should be getting you to boot to TWRP on your computers harddrive. If fastboot doesn't work you can try htc_fastboot boot TWRP.img . I never know when to use which one so just try. By trying to boot you can't break anything.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] den10:
Absolute legend mate!!

Got through to the recovery and now trying to figure out how to get the phone back up again.

Tried the code e2fsck -f -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p47 to fix the data encryption problems but no dice. Factory reset and full wipe also doesn't do anything (unable to mount /data and /cache). Checked the internal storage and for some reason it says 0MB ??

Rebooting gives a "black screen" that is on or sometimes the htc splash screen, but does not respond to any button presses except rebooting to hboot from which i can get to the twrp recovery.

Read in another thread that I should RUU and get back to stock (but that might involve relocking bootloader). Or should I just try to adb sideload a rom (CM /LineageOS)?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijs_Rallye:
I just googled a little bit on the e2fsck parameters which got me to this youtube video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAQOT98RK-c

You could give that a go since your phone is f*ckt now anyways :P. I have too little knowledge of the inner workings of e2fsck but I saw he used different parameters. I've had a Bluetooth issue once after restoring a Nandroid backup, and I've never got it fixed with e2fsck, the topic is here on the forum as well. But I hadn't found the parameters as in the video posted, so you can roll the dice if you like :).

A last resort would indeed be running a RUU (if you have one of your phone that is). You can check the CID with fastboot getvar all, write it down or paste it in notepad just in case.

For running a RUU you'll need to re-lock the bootloader. I've recently re-locked and RUU'd mine because of a warranty issue. If I remember correctly I've used the "normal" fastboot for relocking. fastboot OEM lock.

Don't forget that is a one way street, as soon as you've relocked the bootloader, booting to TWRP is not possible anymore. Therefore first try whatever you want to get your data back ;).

Let me know if you succeed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] den10:
Hahaha yeah, phone is definitely screwed now. Having some trouble with the "unable to mount /data" (same with /system and /cache). Tried changing the format in wipe data settings to ext4 / FAT /extFAT but thats not working either :(

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijs_Rallye:
There is no recovering possible if you have wiped /data mate ;) . Just for my information: you did mount the buggy partitions writable? Default mount of TWRP is read only if I am not mistaken. (for /system 100% sure though) e2fsck can't do much if it is in read only mode.

Do you have a RUU for your phone?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] den10:
Oh didn't know that is was read only. How would I mount the partitions as writable?

And yeah I gave up on recovering the internal. Just want to get the phone back up and running again.

I got my original RUU from here and I assume this still works
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijs_Rallye:
I didn't see any image with VODAP but if you have one it'll be fine.

Regarding the read only mounting, mess about in TWRP a little. Mine is in for warranty so I have no way to check where to press what :P . Be creative ;).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] den10:
Checked innumerable threads and posts regarding the E: unable to mount /data and still zero luck. Checked and ran a couple of adb shell commands ( 1 & 2) but they don't work either. someone also mentioned formatting the internal storage on pc device manager, but the format options don't show in the properties section.

Recon if I can fix the /mount data issue I can easily get this up and running again, but can't see a way to do this at all.

Saw a thread that also mentioned someone who had /data mount issues that still persisted even after flashing a RUU - except their bootloader became locked.

Looks like this phone is fit to be used in construction :crying:
