[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] Eric82930:
I finally had to retire my 2013 motox and got a deal on a used xz2c. It was on pie when I got it and must have been a US version because I just put my Sim in it and it worked great on verizon. I wanted to try downgrade to oreo without unlocking I thought what could go wrong? Turns out None of the global firmware on xperifirm would show any signal bars or service and the only US version they had wouldn't boot "corupt". I found an old us oreo firmware on

gemflash and It would boot but restart after the logo. Then I ran the Sony software repair option from companion and it somehow upgraded it to the latest us version 10 and I'm working again! The 2 points I want to make is the firmware must be a US version and they are hard to find a working download. And software repair option will only fix the last booted firmware and auto upgrade to the latest compatible version.

I want to root to run viper4android but worried about the consequences of messing up the only modern compact phone on Verizon.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] Eric82930:
Still no down side to using this phone on Verizon. CDMA must not be needed at all in wy,ut,id where I've been. Even places my old phone worked only on 1x or 3g this phone seems to stay on lte and works fine. I'm on 52.1.a.3.137. Finally unlocked/rooted with twrp/magisk and got viper4android rocking. No regrets. None.

Has anyone tried a custom ROM like LineageOS with Verizon?
[Windows 10 Mobile] dogobul:
Hi guys,

I loaded wrong ROM on my lumia 950XL SS. It is RM1116 instead RM1085 that I've downloaded a time before.

It showed the tiles for second sim and messaging together with sign in top left corner for the signal strenght.

Now I'm trying to load different RM1085, but the tiles for second sim are appeared again.

May someone help me how to load RM1085 w/o loading tiles and information for second sim?

Phone work perfect with RM1116 and with RM1085.

Originally is was on EE UK.

Thanks.
[Windows 10 Mobile] dxdy:
just flash with WDRT
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
If for some reason WDRT still sees your phone as a RM-1085 you can flash the RM-1116 FFU manually. Or vice versa...There's a sticky thread in this forum on how to do that.

I read more on your post... So your are seeing dual sim icons but want it as single sim? Is that right? If you flash manually the ffu and do not trigger a factory reset and/or full nvi update then it could continue with the previous modem setting from the last ROM. Make sense?
[Windows 10 Mobile] dogobul:
Hi,

flash with WDRT helped me to solving the problem.

Now everything is fine.

Thank you for quick support.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nikolas60:
yeah man sure
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ric84:
Definitely not. LG destroys their own Community with super slow updates, or better say, no Updates.

It's pretty poor to buy flagship **** and getting only one major update. This was definitely my last "Flagship Device". My next one will be a cheap middle class **** with a huge battery. I only need Spotify, Battery and Internet.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] verSerk:
Im still stuck on october security patch on my flagship, yes, half year without a single update, and ppl ask for android 9? Hilarious
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] clouds5:
I have had android phones from 5 major different companies (HTC, Samsung, Sony, Huawei, LG) and it has been the exact same story with all of them over the years.

People always complain and with every phone there was a thread on XDA where they said this is the worst android company ever and this will be their last phone. The reality is that updates have been about the same with every phone from all those different companies. You get one, maybe two major updates. But you can't expect anything. Don't buy a phone with the "wrong OS" and hope for an update that solves issues or something. It probably won't happen. Major updates usually make things worse!

Plus, companies can change a lot over the course of two years. The smartphone market is crazy. If update support really is one of your top priorities then I'd suggest Apple. They have been consistently good with updates. Updates introduce just as many problems or even more, but they come fast and for a long time... I'd always prefer controlling the upgrade process myself though.

Instead I started to look for phones that have everything I need right out of the box. And if you're here on XDA make sure that you can unlock and flash whatever you want. That's the single best way to make sure that your phone will still be usable/interesting after two years. Because no company supports longer than two years. That's just how it is in the android world.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] wakari_mayo:

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Vinchent:
Yes, eventually we will get P.

It's all about trust. LG has recently said to have built a new facilty to improve the software support of its smartphones.

If LG decides not to upgrade the G6 to P, it will just be the end of the brand and there'll be consequences about any other future product they are going to produce. Who's gonna buy a G7 then?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] wakari_mayo:
Hmm an interesting point of view. :good:

But, I remember that LG always does the same thing since G2. When a new phone is on the way, (like G7 will be announced next month) they always say "We are pursuing new methods and building new facilities to make updates faster" etc. But we're here. :(

My Mexican (Telcel) LG G6 just recently got the Oreo update. However upon upgrading and rebooting, it still says 7.0.... Bummer

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Mikes:
Can you share the changelog or something?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Rayan:
I don't have a log nor the update file. At the time of updating it clearly said the file version (I forgot to write it down) in the change log but upon googling it up I found it was 8.0. I proceeded to apply the upgrade but upon rebooting it stayed the same version, then tried to hard reset and stator over thinking that something have gone wrong but nothing, still 7.0. If I try to check for an update it states 7.0 is the latest version.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Mikes:
It was probably a typo.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] skoczu:
Definitely not - taking into account one year delay (Google release -> Lg update) we will probably hear that Lg provides two-years-support and G6 is an older device with old hardware (snap 821).

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] romcio47:
I voted yes.

It's always interesting how 90% of complaining users are randomly active junior members who log onto XDA Forum just to write a complaint.

Sit back and enjoy having this excellent piece of hardware which is praised in many reviews even one year after its release, and especially now after such a huge price drop...

We DO NOT know ANYTHING about the update except for being "somehow" sure G6 will be updated straight to Android 8.1...

Relax. I have a feeling that the moods of some of you are closely related to whether your phone will get an update or not.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] sun_is_shinning:
The answer is yes, ALL HIGH END TOP DOGS FROM LG have at least 2 major Android versions, i already have more than a dozen LG phones (G2, G3, G Flex2, V10) and all of them starts at update version v10(x) - x being the letter from patch correction a, b, c...etc. And everyone goes up to v30"x" update, G2, G3, GFlex2 and V10 so, dont worry LG will give us the Pie update in late June next year like they did with Oreo this year.

IT may take this wole time but in the end i will be awesome. Thats why i just buy LG from 2013 to this day...

- OK i know what people will gonna say "oh but i didnt receive that updates, im still waiting for Oreo in G6...bla bla bla" - men, if you are waiting for OTA update and didnt go ahead yourself to a website called "LG Firmware - The Biggest Firmware Collection" then you are just lazy, because many people never receive OTA and need to flash it manually.

Im from Portugal, Europe then i always have International versions of LG phones and all receive at least 2 more Android versions.

LG is fair with that, they cant give us montly security updates but at least they do Android versions, a phone you buy in 2017 will have update for OS at least until 2019 with LG.

Long history short: V10 who people have and me too have bootlooped and etc etc, giving all of kind problems and LG didnt give up and people last year dont belive we will receive Nougat, but LG give it to us, many of them are mad because are lazy and waiting for OTA and thats why many people didnt like LG phones, is not bad software, not bad hardware, is people fault.

Even people didnt know how to do it just go to a store and then they solve your problem, no big deal. But again, people are lazy, brainless and didnt think with braind just with the money like: "i buy from u, give me the fkng updates in OTA" and didnt think in search for them online...meh. im tired to listen this things, and thats why i have so hate for people who say mad things about LG, they do what they can...

...and yes, my V10 still rocks, didnt bootloop like 5000 people over XDA claim theyrs already bootlooped. sorry folks, your fault, treat the phone as a phone and not like a Playstation, or like a heatgun...and they will last longer.

Lg g4 only upgraded to v20x, even gave up upgrading to nougat, lg does not care about consumer rights.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] chibichuba:
Until LG releases a statement of which devices will support upgrades to 9.0, and then until your carrier releases their statement on whether they will, we won't know for sure - past trends say probably not, but Google has supposedly made it easier for vendors to update the OS with recent versions.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] paul_zm:

That's awesome! Source?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] sun_is_shinning:
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-pie-release-date/

according to this site...but, i doubt, cause newer phones usually receive it first so, maybe G7 will have it first than G6, or maybe LG launch V40 until October and already came with Pie...

For my experience with LG, newer devices receive the updates first so, first from logic and following: G7, V35, V30S, V30, and last for last G6.

My expectations is we will get it somewhere Q2 2019, that website are wrong with release dates of the update, the Q4 2018 i belive mean for G7 not G6, and Q2 2019 for G6.

[i9100G][LineageOS 13.0] "Unfortunately Pixel Launcher has stopped" - 2017 Gapps plz?

Hi, I just flashed the unofficial Lineage OS 13.0 ROM for the Samsung S2 i9100G. As from instructions, I have also installed TWRP 2.8.7 and Gapps (ARM, 6.0, stock) with the related .gapps-config file. Installation works well, but at boot I receive the "Unfortunately, Pixel Launcher has stopped" error loop which makes impossible to access the home screen, making the phone unusable. Recommendation is to try an older build of Gapps (from 2017 or so) but I cannot find one anywhere. Can anybody point me to a link for it? It might be useful also for people in different situations, that's why I'm opening a new thread.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] henrybravo:
You have to be on wifi to get the update. AT&T requires this to keep the load off their network since updates can be quite large, and people that don't pay attention would blow through their data plans.

You'll have to find a free hotspot somewhere and sit there a few minutes, or setup a hotspot from another mobile device.

Hi, I would like to buy the xz2. I recently had the lg v30 and since I like to use Viper4Android, I just did not like the v30 DAC. I also like to use Viper4Android again, my question is, is the sound quality about usb type c to jack just as good as the old 3.5 mm jack? can I use Viper4Android like that? with the jack adapter?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] stipi69:
I own headphones from good old Z2 times (MDR-NC31EM) and sound quality is better than Z2 and better than Z5, Clear & Loud, i do miss noise the canceling function in sound menu, maybe because of usb to 3.5 adapter. But i cannot speak about sound mods cause i dont use them realy.

I used this headphones on Z2, Z5 and now XZ2 to give real comparison. Sound is Excelent
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] augie7107:
I agree, sound is excellent. Slightly louder than previous Sony devices. Quality is good but as stated by stipi69, no noise cancelation capability and I'm using the Sony mdr-nc750. No comparison to LG V30 though. That device audio is far superior to the XZ2.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Sony92:
I do not know how to assess it, whether much quality is lost from the sound, thereby only having an adapter for headphones
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Sony92:
can one actually use the original adapter of the htc?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] kadajawi:
You did not like the V30 DAC? That's odd. Together with the V20 it has the best sound quality you can get in a phone (or pretty much any other portable device). If you want better, you'll be looking at spending quite a bit on an external DAC and headphone amp.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Sony92:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] kadajawi:
I have them too, I'm not so impressed with them from a sound quality perspective. Had the Sony WF-1000X before, which sounded better, but had connection issues.

Can someone tell me how I can use the HTC adapter with viper4android correct? At the moment this is unfortunately only recognized in the tab speaker, which is not meaningful.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thealley:
Good Morning,

I would like to make a Nandroid backup with TWRP, but on their website there is this FAQ hereunder which if I understand correctly, states that internal storage is not included. I don't have an external card but only internal storage. Can someone confirm that a nandroid with TWRP doesn't include the data in internal storage, or is this a misunderstanding?

Many thanks.

What is EXCLUDED from a TWRP backup?

Apr 11, 2018

First of all: you have to choose the partitions which should be added to a backup but there is an important thing to know regarding the /data/media storage (FAQ: What is a data/media device?).

When you have a device with a /data/media storage as internal storage TWRP behaves different then you might thought. Please read the mentioned link above to understand what /data/media is and if your device is affected or not.

Creating a backup of the user data partition will NOT include /data/media (your internal storage)! That means if you save photos or data on the internal storage (e.g. some apps will save data there as well) those will be NOT included in a TWRP backup! There are many people thinking that this is the case but due to a decision taken by the dev team this is the current way of how it works.

To be absolutely clear when you do something like this:

1.Creating a full backup in TWRP (including /data partition)

2.Factory resetting your phone

3.Restoring your previously taken full backup

4.Result: all your saved data will be there but your data on the internal storage gets LOST!

So keep that in mind when you backup and restore!

You may want to backup the internal storage as well but this is not possible in the TWRP GUI. You have to do it manually (e.g. with "tar" when your internal storage is mounted in TWRP).

TWRP is open source software. So you're free to add a backup option for the internal storage and push your request to our gerrit for reviewing.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gujuboy:
So I installed xpress mail on my tilt and also the client software that connects to my lotus notes server. My phone is registered and it has downloaded the mail and the calendar entries. I also have enable push set in the xpress mail settings section.

I send a test email to my work email to see how fast I get the email on my phone. I didn't get it for a while, so I went to http://xpressmailpe.cingular.com and after login in, I did see that it was connected to my desktop client and the new email was displayed in the inbox.

Seems like the push is not working, I can get the new email if I do a manual send/receive. I have send several test emails and waited for hours to see if the push works, but no luck.

I was then reading the manual and I read about enabling the direct push icon in the connection manager. However, my direct push icon is greyed out and so I can not enable it :(

Please help if anyone knows why the push is not working and how can i enable direct push in the connection manager. Do I need to install Black Berry Connect to get the direct push functionality working?

Much appreciated!
