[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookin:
I have a LG G2 (VS980) that suffers from a bad touchscreen. I want to repurpose it as a media player. I am able to pair a bluetooth mouse so it seems to work out okay. But I also want to remove my google account also the T-mobile ROM does something strange on this Verizon G2. So I am thinking of flashing the phone to one of the custom ROMs out there. I can access the TWRP recovery via just the buttons. But I am worried that I cannot even get pass the initial Verizon registration screen.

I tried a non-bluetooth mouse with OTG cable and it does not seems to work. But a keyboard works fine. I wonder is there a creative way to let me control the phone after a new flash (at least let me get to bluetooth pairing)?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nintoad:
Odd coincidence, I came here to ask the exact same question for the exact same purpose. :D

I was wanting to know if it is possible to install TWRP & a custom ROM with only a USB mouse and no touch screen?

Mine is the D800, currently running the stock LG Android 5.0.2 (including stock recovery). A USB mouse on OTG cable works just fine for me, I have used a cheap wireless ONN mouse and even a Razer Death Adder (fancy power wasting LEDs & all) with no problem. Maybe it's an issue with the ROM you are on?

[General Questions and Answers] spoofykid:
I recently bought a cheap candy bar phone (MobiWire Sakari), for nostalgic purposes mostly, and learnt it ran a simplified version of android 4.4.2.

It meant no developer mode, no playstore and no settings past personalisation (tapping build number in the 'about' section does nothing).

It has facebook lite installed and has the option to install WhatsApp. It does this by downloading a special version off the WhatsApp website and allowing you to install it. When you try download and install other apps, it comes up with an error saying it can't be installed (I've tried many).

I understand that a lot of apps won't work, being a 2.4" keypad phone, but there are apps available to make the keypad experience more enjoyable - as you currently have to tap the keys a few times for each letter (I did say I wanted nostalgia, but T9 would be nice). Not to mention, it would simply be great to have a nostalgic experience with an up-to-date OS (at a dirt cheap price).

Anyone have any idea of how to root the device, enable app installation (the 'install from unknown sources' option is not available in the settings), or extract some of the code from the working WhatsApp apk and insert it into other apks (appologies if it doesn't work like that, I'm a noob in the developer world).

As I said, I can't enable USB debugging for any ADB installations. I can get into the factory recovery mode and can access ADB update but this doesn't help me as ADB install can't work.

Thanks for reading and any help would be great.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Probably won't work, installing other apps requires having a proper "package installer" like other android devices that can install apps. By your description, installation of apps on that device doesn't work the same as for other android devices.

You can attempt to adb sideload, if the device has a sideload option in recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] spoofykid:
It has some form of package installer as it installs Whatsapp when you first turn on the device. When you try install a different apk, it seems to start the package installer but stops when it doesn't recognise the apk file. I bought another device with a different build number, enabling me to enter developer mode and installed apps using this method: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76141643&postcount=23

I can enter stock recovery, however, adb sideload is only able to install update.zip files. Or is there a method of installing apk files as well through the "apply update from ADB" method? Or is there usually another option showing to be able to adb sideload an apk file? Here is someones post showing the stock recovery https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76105681&postcount=13

Thanks for your help.

[General Questions and Answers] spoofykid:
There was no resolution in that thread at the time so I asked another question with more detail. There still is no resolution for devices which cannot access developer mode.

"Sakari" does not exist in XDA as a device unfortunately.

Is this possible given my circumstances?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I didn't say to use the name Sakari to search XDA, I meant for you to use it in Google searches.

You don't have a sideload method. I doubt you'll be able install apps. The facebook lite and Whatsapp that you installed are probably built just so it could be used on that device. You'd have to try modifying other apps in the same manner that these two were modified in order for them to work on that device.

All in all, WAY more trouble than its worth. The device probably wouldn't perform well with those apps installed, even if you "could" get them to install.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pforco24:
Hey there.

So, my 6045 was on that awful MM update filled with ads, so I changed the firmware to the Panasonic one in order to be able to install TWRP and next flash either Lineage or RR.

I have no problem installing TWRP using the Idol 3 suite (Here), however, whenever I try to flash the Lineage zip, or the RR zip, it gets stuck on the Powered by Android screen.

I always wipe everything before flashing the zips.

I have tried wiping cache/dalvik after flashing them, and also not wiping. Either way, and with both roms, the phone gets stuck, and I need to use the Panasonic tool again to restore the phone to a functioning state.

Please help, I've been repeating this process about 10 times, and it's getting very frustrating.

Thanks.

EDIT: Is the version of TWRP somehow relevant for this? The latest version I can install is 3.0, from the link provided. If I try to install this one I get a bootloop. Please help.

Hello, I live in Chile, and all the equipment that arrives in this country for the companies (samsung, lg, motorola, etc) must be approved for the SAE (Emergency Alert System) to work, as in Chile, there are tremors and earthquakes every day, they applied a law, which is an obligation for teams to receive these messages in case of emergency.

My question is, as do large companies, based on the Google source code (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/CellBroadcastReceiver/), or I do not know the truth, how can one modify channels or add channels, because there are devices where you can modify and add channels, as in others not.

In Chile, channel 919 is used.

So I seem to be having issues with bluetooth. Most of the BT devices work, but my TomTom Raider 400 does not seem to want to work.

I was able to pair it to the device, but thats all I get, the TomTom says it won't connect or anything, It was working great nougat now it does not work anymore. I cleared out all network settings, still no go.

Anyone having issues with devices that perhaps require data? anyone have any ideas?

I'm having similar BT problems since the update. Sometimes my car doesn't connect. Quite often my Gear S3 disconnects when the phone is still well within range. My Sat Nav will only connect via BT if I search for it. There is definitely a glitch but I haven't found a fix

I updated to Oreo 8.0 on my S8 today and have had bluetooth connectivity issues ever since. Listening to music in the car, it will randomly drop connection. Also, some track information is no longer showing on the headunit (the playback time and the overall song length). Everything worked perfect before update. Seems to have been a known problem that may have been addressed with the 8.1 update on Pixel and Nexus phones. Unfortunately my carrier (ATT) just rolled out the 8.0 update today for my S8. I'm at a loss for what to do.

It's failing left and right.

I turn it on and it turns off apprx 1 min later.

I turn it back on and it does the same thing (each time).

removing and re-setting up everything fails.

rebooting fails (same as turning on and off)

safe mode does not help.

So far, Oreo has made Bluetooth useless on my S8

After Oreo update my S8's BT became spotty working 20% of the time on calls in the car. So i searched & read that resetting network connections would do the trick. It wasn't under connections->more settings - instead i found it in about phone-at the bottom under Looking for something else-> Reset->Reset Network Settings . Yehey i found it & reset my network settings!

Now my BT won't turn ON! From 20% to 0% function!!!

What a what!

Same issue here. My S8+ was rock solid on Nougat, but since the update to Oreo yesterday my Bluetooth does not connect 19 out of 20 tries in my car. I factory reset my phone thinking it may have been an issue with the update process, but that did nothing to fix the issue. I really need a solution as I need to talk while in my car.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] A0425A:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Xerses_frm_HoFo:
It won't make a difference. I factory reset my phone after the update to Oreo and reconfigured everything from scratch, no restore, and it made no difference.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gleff1:
I'm having similar issues here too. I was on Nougat with zero problems. Did an OTA update to Oreo and suddenly my Kenwood car stereo keeps losing bluetooth connectdion. Used ODIN to flash back to Nougat and it's rock solid. Decided to flash Oreo instead of doing it OTA, and suddenly the bluetooth is flakey again. Flashed back to Nougat, and it's rock solid. I've also tried factory resetting and reconfiguring the car stereo, did a factory reset of the Galaxy S8, cleared the cache, and nothing works. The only way of getting Bluetooth to maintain a connection to the car stereo is to be on Nougat.

Interestingly though, I have no problems with my Gear S3 maintaining a bluetooth connection.

It appears it's only some devices that have the issue. I don't hold out much hope that Samsung will fix it though. Weren't people complaining about the same thing during the betas?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] keinel:
I guess this can solve your problems too, I had an issue since the oreo update, cant select anything but SBC reverting to default, even with the level u app not showing UHQ, I started a chat with samsungs members app and they told me that is an error in the update, not all devices are presenting this problem. well, the solution: 1. back up your data with smartswitch app(I backed up with a sd card, 10Gb info) if you have whatsapp do a chat backup because they dont backup with smartswitch. 2. delete your samsung and google account. 3. Do a hard reset(witch the phone powered off press volume+, bixby and power, until you see the recovery menu), wiping cache and then wipe data/factory reset(move trough the menu with volume+- and select with power). 4. start the phone and add your google and samsung account, then restore your data with smarwitch app. this will let you select the BT codec again.

worked for me and the bluetooth conection is more stable

I've always had issues with bluetooth in the car. Had a Nexus 4, it would randomly disconnect. Turning off the ignition and restarting the car made it work again. Toggling bluetooth QS doesn't work. Same with the S8. For me, it wasn't the update. It's the damn car. Bimmers have the worst bluetooth implementation ever.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Havdaddy:
Biggest issue I'm having is that BT occasionally connects to my my vehicle but may drop connection randomly. Trying to reconnect requires me to add the device back into the vehicle. Vehicle has the latest update (just got it out of the shop, where I specifically asked about that). Additionally, I'm getting the skipping as well but it's almost 2 min on the dot when it does it. It pauses for a few seconds (as if it's thinking of something) and when it starts playing again, it's like it's trying to catch up on time, as it skips ahead to where it would have been had it not stopped. I have to back up the book I'm listening to IOT hear what I've missed. VERY annoying. Additionally, my S3 Frontier is connected (according to BT and receiving updates, notifications, etc) but when trying to install a new watch face, the app tells me that the watch is NOT connected. Additionally, continually get a notification on the watch that the app needs to be updated but when I go to the app, it says it's running the latest version.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RCA1186:
I have the exact same headunit and same problem. I finally figured out the cause is the codec which you can change in developer options. The phone automatically chooses AAC when the stereo runs correctly on SBC. I can switch it to SBC but as soon as the stereo tries to connect (like say, any time I get into my car) it goes to AAC.

After you connect to the headunit, switch it to SBC and it should work flawlessly (until you park and come back, then you have to repeat the process again)For the first time in 3 months I can listen to music in the car again without it disconnecting every 5 mins... The problem is it still is a bit ridiculous to have to switch a setting back every single time I get into my car.

Hi guys,

I like automation on my phone but there is one task I'm struggling with.

As a biker I have my helmet linked to my phone. I have my helmet headset mapped up to a degree, but I want to set up an sos option, but without losing functionality.

If I swipe my control wheel up or down, it skips tracks, holding them up or down changes volume and the centre key triggers Google voice.

What I really want to do, is map three repeated wheel actions in quick succession, such as skip back 3 times to make an emergency call. I previously found a profile for tasked which was supposed to, but, didn't work. I wondered if anyone knew of any little gems in the apk world that will allow me to map such actions to functions?

That we I can keep my functionality, but I also gain the additional ability to say speed dial 999 in certain events.
