[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] TechOut:
If I want to go from the CRBB build do I need to reflash CRA8 first or can I put CRC1 on my SD card and just update that way without flashing back
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jakefudge:
Quite new to all this and have spent time with search, so please don't shout at me!

I still own a Tytn which I've been very happy with speed wise. Orange have sent me a Tytn ii now which i think is a great machine, however the lag and speed issues are really getting to me now. I understand that Orange are not the best when it comes to customising these phones and as a result is one of the main reasons it runs so slow. I spoke to Orange tech today and they said i wouldn't invalidate my warranty if i changed the ROM. Will it get this phone moving to a usable speed? I love the functions of this phone (GPS, keyboards better, BRIGHT screen! etc..) but the speed is taking the p*#s now.If anybody can recommend a good ROM (?) that would be great. Any help gratefully received.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XtreMe_G:
hi and welcome to the forums. you can start your upgrading by reading through this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=369282

i can tell you that basically any cooked rom will give you a speed improvementover a shipped rom. i'm not gonna give any suggestions, there's just too many different personal preferences when it comes to choosing a rom, just read through this and the upgrading forums....you will see many opinions, probably someone whould even post their opinion here too. good luck
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] foobar1977:
I very much doubt that! I bet they wouldn't put that in writing.

Afaik orange don't release rom updates and how could they support your device with some other rom on it?

Either way, I couldn't care less about it voiding the warranty, the stock orange rom is pants. I've never looked back since flashing a cooked rom.

As already mentioned, there are too many roms to say which is the best, it's a personal thing.

I personally like Duttys v4 (eek! looks as sig and realizes its waaay out of date, been running v4 for a while now), its quick, reliable and just generally feels nice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jakefudge:
"I very much doubt that! I bet they wouldn't put that in writing."

I asked the chap today and he said "because you had the phone direct from Orange we would repair or replace even if customised" I did say " are you SURE about that and he said yes. Having said that, every time i speak to them about anything they contradict each other! Ive been with them a long time and because I'm a heavy user they generally treat me right. I hope he was right, i did ask him for his name and i logged the time of call so hopefully if it does screw up I've got some comeback. Thanks for the quick replies.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tsadek:
There is a big jump from "customisation" which to them probably means not using the crappy orange home to flashing a new rom.

my 2p worth.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jakefudge:
I specifically said i want to change the ROM. He said OK. Sod it, its next to useless anyway with their crap software. If i brick it I'll "accidentally" drop it into the bath and let my home insurance get me a new one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] foobar1977:
Just be sure to read and sock in all of the guides, then theres very little chance of bricking it :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Happy-Shrimper:
Well, I took the plunge, but as a nessesity rather than option.

I'm with TMobile and they wanted £180 for the upgrade plus put up my tariff £10 per month (was on 25% for life plus £10 loyalty discount) so effectively upgrade would cost £320.

Got a new Orange 12 mnth contract and phone for £70. Other half now has 12 month orange contract sim rather than PAYG, and I followed the sim unlock and flashed Duttys 6.1 ROM with 3 days of getting the phone. Orange phone looks much better than Vario 3 too.

Just follow the instructions to the letter and you won't look back!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jakefudge:
Cheers for everyone's help! Much appreciated. Now, does anyone know why slide to unlock pretty much messes my phone up???!!! Orange ROM causing the problem?? I get the main screen but the slider doesn't slide and then i just get a blank screen!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
If you are up for flashing a new rom... then don't muck about with applications yet.

Read up. Flash the correct SPL, then choose a rom, flash it (and simunlock if its a 6.1 rom as you need a 6.1 compatible radio) and then use it for a couple of days and see what you like.

If you dont like the new rom - flash another... It can become quite addictive!

[Verizon LG G3] tjupille:
A couple of months back I ordered a package of 3 replacement batteries from "factoryoutletstore.com" to have on hand (my wife and I both have G3s and leave them on the wireless charger overnight; that's hard on batteries which go bad after 12-18 months). When installed, they do *not* hold a reasonable charge. They run down at about 1.5%/hour (the "real" LG batteries lose less than 0.5%/hour).

The batteries have the same gray color, but don't have the LG logo. They came in bubble wrap, not the anti-static wrapper used with the OEM batteries.

As I look carefully at Overstock.com's web site, the picture they show doesn't have the LG logo, and they don't actually say that they're LG OEM, so they weren't directly misleading. It's past the 30 day return period, so I'm stuck, but I thought I'd pass on the warning.

Okay, so now it's in the "Manufacturer Development" stage. Has anyone followed these (or have inside knowledge) enough to know how long, roughly, the timeframe of these stages take?

No idea here ... but I do know they only recently added the V30 to the Oreo list .... when it was clearly out for months in Korea.

https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates

Mind you even as a new device and updates in korea nothing was listed as it being able to be updated on the tmobile support page.

When I asked a customer service rep about it the said "we get our info from the manufacture"

At this point it will be my last ever phone purchased thru t-mobile. Not that they care about original customers at all. They are more interested in snagging people from the other 3 carriers.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SHosp:
I would take this article with a grain of salt. The only evidence they show is the original tweet with RedOregon69 from the 5th. Based on the original tweet, we should see the update this week.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
That is an old story and it references the Tweet about the update being in 2 weeks while he should be this week.

Here is an article posted on TMo News dated April 6th with the Twitter conversation dated April 5th. The author of the Phone Arena article should have actually done his research instead of being lazy.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Yeah that's my bad, I should have looked into it a bit further before linking it here, I just kind of relayed it to here once I seen it
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
I don't blame you, I blame the author that posted it on Phone Arena for not researching it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
What's funny about the whole thing is that Phone Arena posted a story on April 7th by a different writer with the same Twitter conversation and it showed the dates of the conversation on Twitter. It proves that they are just regurgitating old stores and spinning them for clicks which is a big fat fail in my book. It also seems they are biased against T-mobile from looking through some of their other stuff.

What's sad is that Android Authority cited Phone Arena's story. That is another failure. Tech blogs are just copying each other's stories instead actually giving us useful information. I called Phone Arena and Android Authority out on the lack of actually checking stories and their failure to post legitimate news, not that they will fo anything about it.

I know now who not to trust for phone information and these losers top the list. :confused:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Yeah it sucks to be honest, it's a shame because PhoneArena used to be up there as best in my opinion, now they've just lost the vision I think, most of the comments on articles are them getting called out

How did Sprint beat T-mobile in releasing this update? SMH. It'd be nice to at least have an updated security patch.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
LG offered T-mobile choice of either exclusive V30 LTE band 71 or fast updates to help customers.

You see which one T-mobile chose. ;)

I'm halfway joking.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
Sprint's network is a joke. I live in the Kansas City area about 25 minutes from Sprint's headquarters and they can't even get decent service on their own campus. I know a some people that work there and they say it's horrible and most of the time it's non-existent and they might as well not even bring their phone to work with them.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] WiseManWhite:
WOOOOW!! A great deal on a phone doesn't do much if it doesn't make calls lol. I'm glad I left them a few years back. Also happy that I got this v30 a couple of weeks ago. Much better than my HTC 10 was.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
We didn't leave them, they dumped us in July of 2007 for no reason after 6 years with them. They were in that process of dropping 10,000 a week for a couple of months for what the called excessive calls to customer service, thing is we never called customer service, last time we called their customer service was 2 months before we moved from Baltimore, MD to the Kansas City area in May of 2006 to have our address and numbers changed.

When I called to ask them why we were dropped, I got cussed out, lied to, and threatened with legal action, then they had the nerve to hit us with a final of almost $1500 plus ETF and also tried to say that we kept exceeding are minutes per month for talk which we didn't cause we had unlimited minutes. My wife sent the bill back with a not so kind note and told them to F@$K Off. We never heard from them again

Was for the best as a lot of times I didn't have service in some of the places I had to go deliver and pickup. I was a truck driver then. Been with T-mobile since and have had no regrets. Love the customer service here and if I have an issue, they are very quick to resolve it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
I truly hope you're right that that is the reason for the delay.

I just cannot help wondering (as others have mentioned too) if they're not just making sure to close all possible loopholes that might lead to root for H932, it being the only bootloader unlockable US carrier variant, and thus the only one that COULD potentially boot an unsigned recovery (TWRP).

Surely LG is monitoring what's going on here, and given how much effort they already put into closing the loopholes of the V20 when making the V30, it would make perfect sense that they are waiting to see what comes of current efforts before releasing an ARB1 update for the H932.

Of course it IS possible that the opposite is true: Since (apparently) TMO insisted on having an unlockable bootloader, that they're saying, OK let them have full fastboot after all.

I'm doubtful of the latter, but not ruling it out. It would make the H932 more attractive than LGs (more profitable) open market model, which doesn't make business sense.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Sure, in the past T-mobile benefitted from hardware sales of easily unlocked bootloader phones (with full flash commands) to use by people even on other networks. But T-mobile doesn't want to be a "Best Buy" store, just to sell hardware. They want the monthly customer service charges flowing in.

Still, I think they benefited from having their phones being bought even by non-customers and should realize that.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Yeah no doubt subscription money is what T-Mobile wants. But I have a feeling it's LG who decided to neuter the TMO bootloader. And what I meant was, it doesn't make business sense for them (LG) to let a carrier sell phones at a lower margin than LG's open market models, with more LTE bands AND fully and easily unlockable. So I can, unfortunately, image that tightening security on the H932 is what's holding them up. On all the other carrier models it matters less, as they'll never be able to unlock their bootloader anyways.

I'm sorry to be such a grinch...

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] S3ckshun8:
It is probably a security issue within Android Oreo and/or a compatability issue with some of the T-Mobile/ LG software . Usually this is the network that usually gets the system updates last however it's been a little too long waiting every since the initial announcement of the system update.
