Maybe by now, you'd arrive at the conclusion bluetooth headset won't do that like conventional physical plug in versions? Just a thought. My daughter complained about her LG G3 and the one-sided output from the physical jack. Bluetooth headset solved that but quick :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] measty:
Well, the reason I got the v20 was for the DAC. Irony hits in all the right places.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nolia:
I am in the same dilemma as to what will I replace the V20 with when it knocks out. I got the phone because of the DAC and user replaceable battery. My gripe with LG now is slowness of updating the software.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
The Galaxy S5 was waterproof and had a replaceable battery.

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 AM ----------

Not really slow considering the factors that carriers get in the way. Also going straight to Oreo.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] xs11e:
The Galaxy S5 was water "resistant", not water proof. To be waterproof a phone would need no openings in the case and I suspect that's what they're working toward. Seems silly to me, the V20 just may be my last phone since I like replaceable batteries AND SD cards. I don't need waterproofing (so far) as I've never soaked a phone.

Hope I didn't just jinx myself!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nolia:
Mine was sim free. I would still say its slow considering phones like mate 9 r running Oreo

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pistacios:
Definitely been around a device or two. I'm usually "tech support" for friends and family. Not an electronics technician, just a hobbyist. I'm actually a machinist. I'll give anything a shot before it goes in the trash.

I've been able to score some "broken" devices and get tons of use after repair, dating back to the OG Droid A855.

(3) Nexus 7 2013. One for my car install, one for my daughter, and one for around the house. 2 of them were broken screens.

My wife's "water damaged" G3, which is still alive going on 3 years after an alcohol bath fix, even after mine started wigging out with SIM errors (baked it, got it working, then bought my US996 a week later).

I've torn down a brand new Galaxy S6 and a broken screen one just to swap the board to recover data, then swap it all back to send in for insurance, lol. That was fun...stupid glass backings.

Baked my brothers V10 to get it to boot. Recover some data, it looped again, disassemble, baked it, assemble, recovered more data, looped, dissassemble, bake, assemble, recover......total of 7 times, lol.

The days of having an easily repairable device with a removable battery are slowly dying. But where there is a will, there is always a way.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Omizuke:
It is unfortunate that it seems that way.

I'm okay with Galaxy S5 level of water resistance. I used to wash that phone on the sink constantly, and shower with it. It was enough. So there are ways to still have removable battery covers.

The problem is that most of us that opted for the V20 was for the features it have that no other phones had. If I wanted a AMOLED with always on display I would've go for a Samsung or many others. I prefer the far more useful for me second screen, it works for shortcuts, controls and notifications. Although I wish I could have even more control over it, specially like when playing fullscreen games.

I prefer IPS screens over all others any day. Specially over Samsungs SAMOLEDs, those give me headaches due to its sub pixel alignment.

The Quad-DAC headphone jack is miles ahead of grand majority of phones. On the level of overly priced music players. And the IR is something I need, for in my house family always lose/brake the remotes.

The phone was truly the last phone released for power users, the phone had every tech you could cram it, only missing true stereo speakers. Decent dual cameras with great software, removable battery, mSD, DAC, IR, a second scree, display out, near perfect IPS display, sturdy construction relative to most other phones that brake on first drop.

I seriously have no idea to what phone I would jump to, none satisfy me. Would go for a Razer phone, for the whole project linda thing. But no headphone jack makes it a no.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] fastrat350:
Okay im really really pissed and happy at the same time, I updated my phone with the new sprint rom, and like the new features and speed, but im experiencing the same bluetooth problems I had before with the 2.17 rom. And its gotten alil worse. Heres the Problem: Connect and pairs up with my handsfree(uconnect) in vehicle fine, but there is no sound whatsoever on both ends, I cant hear callers, or even the ring, nor can the other callers hear me, its completely dead. Then it gets worse, I unpair, turnoff bluetooth and two things happen 1.) phone stays silent on every setting, no sliding sounds, no screen tap sounds, try to make phone call, and it is silent cant hear ring, cant hear callers, nor can callers hear me. 2.)When bluetooth turns off, the phone automatically restarts on its own. What can be causing these problems??
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] erak606:
Hi, I just dirty flashed my phone through OTA from OB5 to OB6. I currently can't boot into my phone, but recovery and everything works.

I'm using twrp 3.2.1.0 codeworx. I can boot into my lockscreen but the moment it loads it says "Shutting down". If I install Magisk 16.0 it just tries to boot, then fails and jumps to recovery.

At least my data isn't encrypted anymore, but what can I do about this? When I try to sideload the OB5 ROM it says can't read zip.

Also it's interesting how my recovery gets reset every time that happens.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] chazarss:
From my knowledge you should make clean flash as android 8.0 and 8.1 are different versions
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] SventraPopizz:
You didn't removed all the overlays from substratum, navigate with twrp's file manager into /data/system and delete overlays.xml
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] erak606:
Thanks for the suggestion. I also feel a feeling that it's substratum because I made the mistake of updating with layers still installed. I tried flashing the substratum rescue zip, both legacy and non-legacy, and also deleting the file as you suggested but I'm still getting that immediate "shutting down" error.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] alfick3:
For my personal experience, I took the OTA and had no problems rebooting. I'm also fully stock with no root or custom recovery; I don't know if that affected my flash and reboot. I bought my OP5 used from Swappa. When I got it, I clean flashed the OB5 and then today I took the OTA for OB6.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] null0seven:
I was on ob05, twrp 8.71. Received ota, full zip, on the phone. Dirty flash workt fine for me. Phone booted ok. Of course, recovery was gone. Reflash recovery. Reboot to recovery. Flash Magisk 16. All ok.

Yes, admins are already aware of the issue. It only seems to be happening on the 2015 theme though.

You can try another theme and thanks button should work, for instance XDA 2013 or XDA 2010.

So we need to wait until it's fixed for the 2015 theme.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaccko:
Hi,

I was running LineageOS on my Galaxy Tab S tablet (SM-T800). I tried to update LineageOS. I went into the settings and downloaded the lastest version. However, the installation didn't go through. The download was successful, but an error message told me to try and manually install the update. I tried to go into TWRP mode to install manually the update. Instead of going in the recovery mode, I saw a TWRP app on the Google Play store. I tried and install that app. It went ok, however, I needed to reboot my tablet to finish. I did so, but after that, I got stuck in booting mode, between the TWRP logo and the Samsung logo. So the tablet was trying to boot in TWRP mode, but after about 5 seconds on the splash screen of TWRP, the spalsh screen disapear and then the tablet tries to boot in normal mode. It doesn't work, and the tablet reboots in TWRP mode, but, again, unsuccessful. It's a loop, alterning between the two splash screens.

I tryed to go into download mode and flashed the stock ROM (found on Updato) while using Odin on my computer. It worked. However, after the process, my tablet got stucked on the Samsung logo only. Now, it doesn't go in recovery mode (TWRP). I can only go in download mode or regular mode (but not working). Only the download mode works.

I don't really know waht to do. I tryed to redo the process with Odin and the custon ROM, but it didn't work better.

What can I do?

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin on my computer. The process went well, but the reboot of my tablet that occurs at the end of the process got stuck again on the Samsung logo. It didn't get to TWRP mode. I tried to go manually into recovery mode by holding power+vol up+home, but it didn't work.

What else can I try? Thank you,
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecna:
Are you trying to get to twrp from powered off state ? If not , get to power off state, then use key combo again to try to get into twrp.

Also when you flash twrp, in odi , there is a setting to prevent auto reboot, use that and try to get to twrp via key combo from download. Mode., finally tripple chech the key combo you are using is correct

Hi,

Thanks for the help. I tried to get to TWRP from power off state. The TWRP splash screen appears, and stays on for about 5-10 sec. After that, the splash screen disappear and the tablet reboot to get stuck on the Samsung logo again. It's like if the TWRP booting process doesn't go through...

Ouch !!

Looks like you got a real problem , and getting into territory I'm not expert in, Ashyx is the real authority with twrp for this device, you can try to pm him and hope he takes pity on you ( he has been helping guys on this qa thread tirelessly for over a year, and is prob taking a well deserved break ).

Otherwise a few more suggestions,

Maybe your PIT is messed up , ( but you prob would not make it to twrp splash screen in that case )

Twrp may still be trying to execute the script from the original linage update and not finding something bails ( total guess ).

Try flashing a stock ( downloaded from sammobile or somwhere you trust ) rom via odin, and see if you can get into the stock recovery. From there do a factory reset and see if you can get stock running.

Try getting into twrp with device connected to pc ( helped in some wierd cases, you never know lol ).

When TWRP splash screen comes up, try some key combos , maybe twrp checks for a script abbort key combo ?

Checkout the TWRP github issues page, see if your bug is there and a solution, create a bug report or mail a dev directly.

Have a look at the TWRP code, maybe some clues ??
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaccko:
Hi,

So not much development here...

I tried to download the stock ROM for my device from Sammobile and tried flashing it with Odin (JOdin actually, I'm on Mac), but it says it need a PIT file. I let Casual fin the PIT file and it finds it. Only, after that my device does not reconnect to Odin even though it's still plugged in my computer. I tried to unplug it then plug it back, but then Odin says the PIT file is corrupted. I tried to restart my device, but still not connecting to Odin...

I tried getting into TWRP with my device connected to my computer. Still the same problem of rebooting while TWRP is booting (while it's on splash page).

No combo key seems to work to keep TWRP open and loading...

Didn't find anything on TWRP github and I'm not saavy enough to look into TWRP code.

So, I'm still stuck with my initial problem. Do any of ou have some advices/suggestions or can help me with my problem please? At this point, I've been without my tablet for more than a month and it S**KS!!

Thanks in advance everyone,

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattOktaNZ:
I'm on the Telecom NZ network with the Vogue.. when I download SPB Monitor GPRS(monitors CDMA as well) tells me I'm downloading at 700Kb/s does this mean Rev A.

With internet sharing on (USB>Touch>Internet) IE said I was downloading at 50KB/s, its been higher too

What speed does the older one do?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] bedoig:
The Touch is not (as of yet) Rev A enabled, so no, you are not running on Rev A.

When it is enabled, you will see download speeds ranging anywhere from your current speeds (300-1000 kbps) up to a max of around 2 mbps.

Uploads should also increase from around 100 kbps to an average of about 300 kbps, although some see uploads as high as 6-700 on occasion.

My best speed tests on my Mogul (which is Rev A enabled) gave me about 2.2 mbps down, and 550 kbps up. I can average about 1 mbps down and 300 kbps up everywhere I go. Hopefully the Touch gets GPS and Rev A soon, but there is no official date set.

Very fast, snappy, great features.

Also i tried samsung from my friedn and i find it awful.
