Just bought a Fire TV Stick. Within the first minute of use, I hit my first snag. When I traverse along a row of apps, or choose a letter in text entry, etc., by depressing and holding the navigation ring on the remote control, the key repeat rate is waaay too fast, and I always overshoot. I can't find a setting for key repeat rate. Is there an app to do that? Does the Fire Stick have secret developer menus accessible by key sequences on the remote control, like a Roku box does, that might have that setting? Is there a hack? Would it require rooting?

You shouldn't have any problems activating your phone after putting a new ROM on it, as long as the ROM will work with Verizon. For stability, security, and the the fewest bugs, I suggest a ROM based on the most recent Stock Verizon ROM: N910VVRU2CQL1

I'm switching from PaulPizzRom to MODest ROM because it has the most recent developer activity.

Seen 2 videos so far of the V30 up against the S9 series and its holding its own quite well.

What are you guys opinions?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
V30 for better battery and camera. End of story.

If you had an S8 right now you would be better off on both those parameters than with an S9

Sammy will fix things. The snapdragon seems to be ok with battery but the exynos variant doesn't do well for battery. Further optimisation needed especially for exynos

Camera issues will be the same for both

Fixes needed which is kinda strange because these aren't the kind of problems Korean phones have ootb
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sudman:
Had both, sold the S9+ after 10 days, couldn't get on with Sammy software and device was just a little too big and heavy. Very happy to have gone back to my V30.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bitwiser:
Seriously, not sure how you can even think about saying that the V30 camera is better than the S9, unless you are talking about granularity of controls. The quality of the S9+ blows the doors off the v30..especially indoors/low light. I have both and the S9+ is being shipped back to Samsung tomorrow because I love my V30 size and feel, not to mention the wide angle lens. However, saying v30 camera quality is better than S9+ is laughable. V30 is still a decent camera though and I can't do without wide-angle lens. I'm not sure why others have not done it...oh wait, maybe we need Apple to do it first then EVERYONE else will. lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] souty666:
i owned lg v30 plus for 5 months and i got S9plus from 10 days and i sold it back yesterday and returned to my lgv30 the reason behind that s9plus has a big problem with dropping calls and during the call i am loosing the connection and got silence for 5 to 10 sec on the same conditions i was using lg in i searched and found it's a common problem and they are waiting a fix through an update the second thing is battery life the s9+ doesn't hold for a day with the same usage , also the network switching between 4g and 3g is going crazy and so bad with s9+

sure the camera of S9+ much better than lg v30 especially the front facing camera which is a **** in low light in lg v30
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Nobody picks a phone on the strength of the front camera.

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

heh, what do you even know about cameras ? The V30 has a F1.6, the S9 is F1.5. So in what way does the S9 blow away the V30 again ?

https://youtu.be/NLsezWgArh4

I'm not seeing the 'quality' of the S9 blow away its predecessors here. Oh! they happen to be F1.7's btw Why's that ? F1.5 an all

https://youtu.be/lW1p8ONzmOY

Why is the S9 struggling to get focus in scenes the last three generations would not. You mean to tell me the V30 or any LG since the G4 would have trouble focusing in these low light scenes ? Forget LG, S6 up to S8 would have no problem in those scenes

The only place i give sammy the edge is faster focus with video. You do much video ?

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75896403&postcount=9

Demonstrates the problem with dual aperture and stills within a certain range of light levels

First has a higher ISO than necesary and thererfore will lose at the pixel level in terms of details to every good camera that came out since 2015, the second blows out the image entirely with the oh so amazing f1.5

Numerous photos i see this overbrightening going on. Why. if HDR+ makes photos low contrast ie flat and boring then the S9 is making them worse for no good reason

Now, i have zero problems having to use manual if it means i get a better photo, in fact a camera that doesn't have manual is worthless as far as i'm concerned but try telling that to someone who just bought this phone for the camera. Paid big bucks for it

Oreo Update

Hi,

Did you get Android Oreo update for LG V30 plus? Any idea when it will arrive ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheetah2k:
I almost sold my V30+ for a S9+ but to be honest, I wouldn't be rushing out to buy an S9 or S9+ just yet. They have a world wide issue with dead spots on the screen... And of course their launcher sucks dogs balls.. Useability is high on my list, and after 5 min playing with the S9+ in store, I wanted to puke.

If you're keen on going Samsung, maybe wait for the Note 9... Samsung just can't get anything right at the moment - seems hardware issue after hardware issue..... Samsung need to take a break, and stop rushing phones to market

My V30+ has been flawless since picking it up in Nov 2017. I'll be sticking with it until the V40+ comes
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aborto:
You know that's not how it works right? Aperture is only one aspect of the amount of light that a sensor picks up, the other being sensor and pixel size.

Although the S9 has more or less the same aperture the pixel size is nearly 50% larger than the v30 pixels, it also has a 1/2.5" sensor versus 1/3.1", this will have a very large effect on low light quality.

For example a full frame sensor has over a stop of extra light gathering ability vs an APSC sensor, equivalent to the jump from an F2.0 to an F1.4 lens, I have no idea what the exact ration will be with these sensors but it is likely to be quite significant.

There is nothing wrong with the V30 camera, but physics dictates it is going to be significantly worse in low light than the S9.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Agree with what you've said but LG manages to squeeze out a lot from a small sensor despite the smaller pixel size. Have you seen some of the photos from the AI camera that only the Korean variant has for now. They have improved clarity and sharpness over the past.

The V30 will be a more reliable shooter than the S9 in the examples i've cited. The V30 would not have the problems the S9 has.

Did you see Max's video ? i looked at every photo he took at the pixel level and was shaking my head over how the S9 couldn't get focus. What good is the biggest sensor going to do in that case

The S8 or Note 8 would be better competition to the V30. If you can handhold 1/2s you will beat what auto can do on the V30 because you let in two full stops of light in this case. That will exceed what a bigger sensor can do unless you repeat the same with it as well

Video isn't going to be too far off due to the small differernce in aperture, only focus will be quicker with samsung. And this is the strange thing, focus is fast on video but couldn't do it with stills
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aborto:
Yes I think it is a great camera, with the best software implementation and interface I've tried.

But low light is not its strong point, in saying that mobile cameras are always so bad there versus my dedicated cameras that it doesn't matter that much, if I expect to want to take usable night shots I'd take a real camera. On the other hand the wide angle camera on this has amazed me for daytime landscape shots.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
The one camera that will dethrone all is potentially the P20 pro. You can take 4s handheld shots. Sharp. Get this it has no OIS!

Low light handling with huawei has always been good, the problem is you need a way to stabilise it. The image quality improves considerably if you let it have 10s say. It won't get brighter just better details

Course that is just the stills department, Video is likely to be another story.

I think low light has improved over the years in terms of how high ISO can go before you don't have a usable photo

Upto 2014 - no higher than ISO 400

2015 - goes up to ISO 800

2017 - now i think 1250 possibly 1600 is usable

No competition against your dedicated camera but you will always have your phone with you

That wide angle has a magic effect on people even those that don't like to take photos with phones :D

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Valinorian:
Main reason i wont switch to Samsung is phone size dimensions and screen ratio. Dont like the long and narrow screen that samsung is using.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Can't find any v30 vs S9 photo comparisons with originals to pixel peep. None out there

I want to see the S9 'blowing away' the V30 :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bitwiser:
Sorry, I love my v30 and it is still my daily driver (shipped the S9+ back today) but in auto mode the S9 was better in almost every situation for me. Not by much except with low light. You can spout stats all day long but unless you are using manual mode the v30 did not come close to the S9. See album. It is almost like someone turns a light on with the S9 photos compared to the v30. I don't know about video since i don't use it much but in low light I can't see how the v30 could produce better/less noise in video either.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Good, now we can have a conversation. I noticed both LG shots used AI shutter, this is LG's more intelligent night shot.

For a scene like this manual will get you a clearer shot, Been that way since the G4. Just go into manual and click, you don't change any settings at all. It just disables night shot. Will be sharper. Provided it gets focus which i think it did in your shots. Night shot is a mixed bag, there are times it will do quite well and others where it can make things worse

The one of the flowers is what makes you think the light got turned on. It's using spot metering there. The one with the trucks is using the default centre weighted. Note how the exposure is the same but the clarity is better with the S9.

The flowers is interesting because it used 1/5, the auto shots i've seen had it go no slower than 1/10. Well that's a stop's more light AND coupled with a high iso will turn night into day :)

Drop the LG down to 1/4 and you do the same compared to auto which won't go below 1/10

Pity you've sent it back it would have been good to try some more experiments
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bitwiser:
I understand all that, I'm just saying full auto, which is how most users will use the camera. The v30 is lacking. I don't want to have to press buttons and adjust settings. I just want to pull my phone out and quickly snap a photo or I'll miss the moment. Again, love my v30 and won't give it up for the better camera. However, if I want the best all around quick/auto/consistent camera phone I'll just reach over and grab my wife's pixel 2.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
And you can do just that if it launches in manual for static subjects in low light. No adjusting settings. Everything is in auto.

The one quirk i've noticed with the V30 only is it doesn't always disable night shot. So even in manual this happens. Didn't happen with earlier LG's

That's the best you can get. So if you compare that with what the sammy does then you will know if any of this pixel micron thing makes a difference or not

Sammy doesn't use a nightshot and i've rolled my eyes as the years went on when comparisons were made with LG's by people who didn't know what to do. So this canard that LG can't do low light very well came up. Reviewers won't do it but users learn early on
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bitwiser:
I know the v30 can do much better in low light. i'm saying I don't want to have to switch my phone to manual mode every time I want to take photos indoors or in low light. Even if it is just switching the mode. I always live it in auto. That is how I'm comparing the cameras. LG should do a better job with auto mode, plain and simple. I don't have that issue with Pixel 2 either.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
They've clung on to the night mode thing for a while now. If that happens the LG's losing almost every time.

I've never understood why they wouldn't allow slower shutter speeds in auto. Getting a 1/4 handheld sharp isn't difficult. I guess they are trying to account for people who might not have the steadiest of hands. Same with sammy too from what i could see with Max's shots. What explains the inability of the S9 to get clear shots ? did you find the S9 wanting for focus when you used it in low light. Your macros were fine, but what about outdoors, a harder test

it's rare you will ever get consistently good low light shots in auto particularly if there's bright lights in them even with the best of cameras. Max likes to show how the pixel can do this. Yeah it can and so can huawei. But it isn't hard to do with manual. One day I went around town at night with one set of settings and clicked away. There wasn't even a need for focus. Shots were instant. Sharp, way better & faster than auto. Took over a hundred shots, sometimes in the road with traffic. I had no more than a second or two.

But the pixel flattens images as well. Getting creative with a pixel with HDR+ on is harder than either of the Koreans. Can't do drama with a pixel. And all its strengths reduce with video because its like any other that too with mono recording in audio instead of stereo. I can't get comfortable with a camera that reduces the owner to a button presser
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clorid:
Hey guys,

I have a problem with my Note 4, and I don't have more idea how can I fix the issue or is it sw or hw issue.

The symptom:

Phone starting with the screen Samsung Note 4 -> screen switching to Samsung loading screen ->the screen freeing out for 2-3 sec -> 1 buzz ->screen is going off ->1 buzz again and starting all over again

The story:

I left my phone on my desk yesterday and next when I wanted to check it I saw, the phone was rebooting continously. So, there was a bootloop, without any touch before. I thought I can solve this issue with a new stock rom, but it doesn't work out. So I tried several custom roms, still the same. Now it's stock again and it has a cwm recovery and the log file's last row is: I:cannot load volume /misc

I have tried without sd card and also another battery already.

If you have any idea how can I fix this or is it a SW or HW issue, that helps for me a lot!

Thank you for any advice!

The phone right now can´t boot into the recovery (Volume down + power does nothing) but I can boot into fastboot mode. Also booting normally does nothing since no OS is installed.

Is there any way/guide to maybe solve this? I tried to follow the Hard Unbrick guide but can´t make it work (The pressing volume up step does nothing).

I apologize in advance because I imagine that this might already be posted by other people.

Just simply:

1.boot into fastboot mode

2. Download Recovery eg. TWRP

3. Connect phone to pc

4. In command line type (make sure you have fastboot drivers installed)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

recovery.img must be the name of your recovery file name.

After that you have working recovery :D
