hi i'm also a moroccan and i recommand the lg g5 but you must be careful you now we live in morocco , but it's a great phone

if you want more information you can ask every thing you want
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jfaheyfan:
Not all models have FM radio

I've had my G5 since Oct. 2016 and haven't seen any newer phones I'd prefer. Be aware that not all G5 models (RS988, e.g.) have FM radio.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Elsnakes:
i would´t recommend this phone. The GPS issue is really annoying, bootloader impossible to unlock makes the device unrooteable, and the update frecuency is horrible.

I want to change it for another phone already.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] dimon222:
Never had problems with GPS.

Yeah, locked bootloader is a problem for people who prefer rooted device with magisk & other tweaks. Either way, device is good even without root.

I do, however, agree that frequency of updates is horrible for almost any variant of LG G5.

My H860 received the November security update over a month from now, and received android N October- early November 2016. (Which is very good). However, android Oreo is scheduled for Mid 2018 ?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] 70525:
Using LG G5 RS988 since OCT2017... And going fine.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] robin0479:
I use LG G5 dual H860 and what you said it's right. However this phone is my biggest disappointment since i had my first smartphone.

Image retention can be hid "temporarily" using application called SFILTER in Google play (the opacity must be at 30%). The main idea of this application is to hide the ghosting image but it will appear again if you uninstall it (tried several blue light filter apps and this one worked to remove ghosting image).

The worst defect in LG G5 is the bad power management. I could not see my battery charging while i was using the phone at the same time. I had to leave it charged without using it if i want my battery full (i used 2.4A charger which should be enough).

GPS sucks. I have no other words to describe it.

Other than what i mentioned above, everything is nearly flawless, especially to play games with high definition graphic. Thanks to the advanced GPU, Adreno 530.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] melodystyle2003:
I sold my samsung s7 and got a used lg g5 at half of the price s7 was sold. Despite the lack of wireless charging (which I solved by using nillkin's magic tags) and the cardio/stress/O2 meter I am really very pleased with the overall performance and quality of this specific device i 've got, tbh it's surprisingly faster than the s7 (with better camera also) and very close to my s8 in terms of response and fluidity. I am not major fan of customizations, since in the past most i have tried caused mostly sideeffects in each device tested (of course there are also some that work really well), and always prefer to have some warranty as backup. I hope not to sound biazed, i really try to be as neutral as possible always from my personal point of view.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] way2aware:
As of this morning, the LG g5 (mine, anyway) is still better than 83% of all other phones in terms of gaming power and performance. This one's running Fulmics, bootloader is unlocked. I bought it new on eBay for 147.00 us. It's about a month old. I think it's still worth it to buy an LG g5.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Lakshay009:
I think you can try the Tecno Spark 7P. It has a triple camera setup which is actually really good and not to forget the mediatek chipset, satisfactory for gaming. Overall, I think we got a decent device here.

[Google Home] reganlives:
Hi guys,

I'm looking to get a Google home mini and use the mini as my controller for smart products I'll be using in my house. I'm only just starting out however have got my eyes on the Phillips hue lights to start with but can they be used with the mini without the need for a hue hub? I'm aware that you can use the normal Google home without the need for the hub.

My smart home will be very Android centric so if an item would be running any particular OS then it would be Android/Google...

Anyway..... should I get the mini or the normal?? What sort of next steps would anyone else take also?

Thanks
[Google Home] adas4190:
Hi, I have 2 minis with bunch of ewelink switches around the house and some chromecasts. It work excellent!
[Google Home] reganlives:
Do you have any details about those switches? Have you tried the Phillips hue bulbs?
[Google Home] adas4190:
Swithes I used are Sonoff th16 for the thermostat and sonoff basic for lights and devices. Grate pices of gear and very cheap, look on Youtube, people getting crazy with those ?

I didn't try hue it seems overpriced for me
[Google Home] reganlives:
Ahh yes I've seen the sonoff switches! Cheap and cheerful however I don't like the fact you need to wire them in. I like simple! [emoji3]
[Google Home] adas4190:
Yup wireing is a hassle but very simple with those swithes + there is IFTTT that works with it.
[Google Home] majik12:
Pretty sure all hue bulbs, light strips etc need a hub to function properly or to be used with any other device. They'll function as a normal light without the hub, that's it. I have 3 bulbs and light strips along with the hub, works wonderfully with my google home. There has to be cheaper alternatives out there though. If I hadn't got all of these hue lights for a gift, I probably wouldn't have bought them. Too much money. :)
[Google Home] reganlives:
Well that's why I'm confused as I'm sure I read that with the normal Google home you don't need a hub. Think it said it on the Phillips site. As for alternatives oddly enough Ikea do smart bulbs but they don't seem that good.
[Google Home] dennis.tara:
TP-Link makes bulbs that does not require a hub at all. Just their local KASA app to install and then link account to google assistant. Google Home Control will work from their ad on as you have it in the Home Control portion of the settings. It's quite easy. Plus they make outlets and dimmer switches. But I enjoy the voice control of the dim level of bulb and color without needing a hub.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manav907:
Hi I have been trying to root my phone for a long time but now I have hit a soft brick kind of situation

I by mistake flashed system with UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip and now I cannot boot

I can access recovery(stock) and fastboot but everything there seems useless I have tried wiping cache and factory resets but all have failed

I thought I should find a ROM for my device but all the STOCK ROMs that I found seems to be dud and my phone is not popular enough to have a twrp or cwm or any custom ROM.

I before flashing system used and adb pull command to pull all system files but there was some error that I don't quite an ember but I still have most of the system files

the phone originally ran nougat 7.0 on MT6737 chipset
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] boonthongw@gmail.com:
Recently, I rooted my op5t 8/128gb successfully and played around with several mods till the problem occurred when i flashed Xposed framework and also some of sauron soundmod after flashing my op5t was rebooting to 1+ screen and freezed there without booting into program normally. I can only access to fastboot mode with screen show bootloader unlocked. Then I followed some advice from xda post to flash recovery again but nothing happened eventhough the recovery flashing was successful. Finally, I contacted op online service and did remote session with it's L2 technician, during the process of fastboot flashing thru msmtool 4.0.3, my op5t bootloader is locked then I was asked to turned off the op5t and turned on again. Then problem is still existed, it freeze at 1+ screen ok only thing I can do is booting into fastboot mode only and not even go to recovery mode. I am very disappointed since the staff told me to send in my op5t to them but I am living in Thailand and so my op5t was purchased from local handcarry store not official store. I decide to post my story here and I hope someone can figure out the way to help solving my op5t problem. Please help.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Jeroen1000:
You need to ask L2 to flash it in 'Qualcomm' mode. You can check whether this mode still works:

1) Turn off your device and make sure it is completely OFF

2) While pressing (and holding) the volume up button connect it via USB to your computer

Check under which name, if any, it shows up in device manager. If it does, they can flash it and fix it.

edit: if they flash with that tool you mention, it looks like they have already tried....It's not fastboot mode though:)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] boonthongw@gmail.com:

Op asked me to send the op5t for service at US official service center which is impossible option for me as I am living in Thailand.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] SilverSurger:
Sorry, but why is that impossible? They apparantly cannot fix it remotely, you'll have to send it in.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] boonthongw@gmail.com:

Did you try to explain that to them? What about the place you bought it from? Can't return it to them?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] boonthongw@gmail.com:
The reason is that the seller in Thailand is not the authorized agent and they sell the mobile without warranty. Buyer take own risk.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bradl79:
OnePlus does still Warranty the device with unlocked bootloader and rooting, he purchased from a 3rd party which has not return, exchange or warranty, oneplus is willing to fix or exchange the device but he needs to ship from the US.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Stefano Barbotto:
I've unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp from pc and I was going to flash the supersu zip. Unfortunately, when I went in recovery (twrp) and flashed the supersu zip(installation process didn't show any problem) I clicked reboot and the phone didn't boot! It just turns off(no led or similar). I have fastboot and twrp access, I tried flashing omnirom using the adb sideload command, everything went fine but still when pressing reboot nothing happens! I even tried to boot manually (after flashing the ROM) with the physical button but still nothing(this time the led blinked twice).

I used the latest version of twrp for Athene, version 2.82 of supersu if this could help.

Edit: was it necessary to flash a different kernel, as it was a nougat rom? The rooting guide I followed didn't mention that.

Edit: Everything worked fine before Supersu, the problem must be related to Supersu but how can I solve?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Generally, on stock Nougat ROMs (not custom ROMs in general), you will need a custom kernel if you want to root. Else, the strict anti rooting protections in the stock Motorola kernel on Nougat devices will trip and stop you from booting your device.

You could try clearing the misc partition as described here (I've not tried it, so be very careful) https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4/help/troubleshooting-twrp-boot-loop-ota-t3714325 to try to reset the boot issue.

If that doesn't work, we may have to repair with a stock ROM flash via fastboot. Can you remember what stock ROM you last had?

I appreciate there are a lot of rooting guides (albeit most are out of date), for future reference, here's a guide that still works: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Stefano Barbotto:
The stock rom was the stock one with android Nougat 7.0, I don't remember any other information :( Moreover there is a omni rom now, as i wrote before.

Edit:

The device is Motorola Moto G4 XT1622
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
When you flashed omnirom via ADB side load, did you erase /system, /data, cache and dalvik before flashing omnirom?

Latest stock ROM for EU is here by the way https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Stefano Barbotto:
No I didn't, I know I should have done this, though

Edit: So, should I try with the partitions or directly flash stock rom? What do you suggest? The xda page related to partitions was related to another issue....
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Okay, the partitions page was an idea to get you out of the TWRP boot issues you had.

For now though, the priority is to get your device running, you could try reflashing omnirom after erasing /system, /data, /dalvik and /cache ( so removing your stock system and data, I hope you backed up). Try booting with the custom ROM. Since you've got TWRP access, this would be easiest, you can always copy files to your device whilst in TWRP and connected via USB.

If that doesn't get your device running or you want to revert back to stock, them flash the stock ROM in fastboot.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Stefano Barbotto:
I didn't even back up the rom from twrp, I totally forgot. I only have information backed up from the motorola account(which is not the back up of the rom, of course). Anyway, I'll try flashing and tell you, thanks for the help
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Stefano Barbotto:

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Hmm, what outputs did you receive from the flashing commands, were they all reporting [OKAY]? How long did you leave your device to boot?

Are you still able to boot to bootloader? If so, can you re-connect your device to your computer, and in the ADB terminal, type 'fastboot getvar all' (without the quotes) and post the output here please? You may wish to omit your IMEI that's included in these device variables.

Can you hold down the power button for 2-3 minutes, try a hard shutdown, then try to reboot?

As for the outputs of the flashing commands, I couldn't copy them, as I used the OEM flash provided by the author of the post(the window opened and closed automatically) rather than manually inputing the commands in the prompt. I'll try manually and tell you
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Stefano Barbotto:
As for the outputs from the flashing commands, I wasn't able to copy them, as I used the "OEM flash" file (from the author of this link :https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138) which automatically opened and closed the prompt
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Okay, that script should work and looking at the getvar log, it looks like the firmware flashed okay (your bootloader, baseband and system all match), so I'm confused as to why your device is failing to boot...

Can you try manually flashing and reporting back if you get all [OKAY] responses? By manually flashing, I mean copying each command into the ADB terminal in sequence, then executing each command, seeing the [OKAY] before proceeding. That way, we can be sure we have stock fully and no trace of root which might be tripping the checks. I'd like to see the output if possible
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Stefano Barbotto:
I really, extremely apologize for being so dumb : I forgot to unzip the stock rom file, so the files weren't recognised while I was entering the commands. The phone is now perfectly working, thanks again for the great help!

By the way, If I wanted to to root the device, how should I install another kernel?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
If you flashed TWRP you can install the kernel with twrp.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Stefano Barbotto:
Just a question: I already have twrp on my device(I normally access by powering off phone, then power+volume down keys, then I select recovery from the menu and I am in twrp), how do I know if it is already flashed to my recovery partition? Should I flash twrp from pc in fastboot mode again and then boot into recovery after flashing, as you wrote? Thanks in advance for the reply
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
If you've already got TWRP on your device and can not into it, then it's already flashed to your recovery partition. No need to flash it again.

Just boot into TWRP and follow from step 3 (backing up your device) :)
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Stefano Barbotto:
I can into it via the fastboot menu but not directly with the combination of power + volume down buttons(this sends me in fastboot mode). If I haven't misunderstood, this means it's already flashed to my recovery partition, is it right?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Volume down and power button combinations should always send you to the bootloader/fastboot mode (won't let you boot directly to recovery), then you can select recovery from the fastboot menu. If it's as you described, then yes, you already have TWRP flashed to your recovery partition and you're doing things correctly.

What I wrote in step 2) assumed your device was already booted into the bootloader mode to flash/boot TWRP. Hence, you can use the volume and power keys as you described to boot into TWRP recovery. I'll add that to make the procedure clearer

For clarity's sake:

Powered off device > Pressing the power and volume down keys > Bootloader/fastboot mode.

In bootloader/fastboot mode, select recovery from the fastboot menu with the volume keys. Press Power key to select

If you see:

TWRP logo - you have TWRP flashed to your recovery partition

OR a green Android on its back with No Command - that's stock recovery.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Stefano Barbotto:
Ok thanks, then I definitely have twrp recovery
