[LG V30 Questions & Answers] papamalo:
I am enjoying this camera, even though I don't really now how to harness the power of it's camera..

I work in security and take pictures of license plates in a large parking lot, and experimenting with my new LG V30, I took a simple picture while driving, and could barely read any plates in the picture, even though the lighting was decent.

I am not so worried about perfect color or anything cinematic. I just need to make the camera default the the most crisp and defined setting it can handle.I am in Manual mode, but a little unsur how to proceed. Any advice? Also can I make the camera default to manual mode when opened?

Thanks!

It looks like your focus may be off. May I ask why you prefer manual mode over auto? Here's one I took in auto mode.

Hi everyone

Like most of you, I have received the news that the android P preview is now live for the Essential Phone. And I am trying to flash it to my device, but am running into a few doubts. I already have adb and fastboot ready on my PC and have already downloaded the .zip from this link https://www.essential.com/developer/developer-preview, provided by Essential. But when I try to flash it, my command window does not recognize the flashall.bat line, even when I open it directly from the adb-fastboot and P preview folder. Also, it seems there is no flashall file like there is in the 7.1.1 and 8.1 images provided by Essential.

Has anyone here been able to flash it already? If so, how?

Btw, I'm using windows PowerShell, if that changes anything.

Thank you all for your help.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Did you download the ota? If so that needs to be sideloaded via recovery
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Shiro744760:
Yeah, I just noticed and remembered that. Thanks
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ankitmishra0411:
I am not able to file flashall.bat in the image can anyone help??
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Shiro744760:
Did you download the fastboot file? If so, just search for the flashall.bat and double click it
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewgartner:
Can anyone tell me how to load the OTA file. And any WiFi fix found yet?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] garywojdan81:
From what I'm reading, flashing the ota over the side loaded zip is the fix for wifi.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
That's correct, fixed it right up for me
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ankitmishra0411:
Thanks for help but got that they have mentioned procedure for full image load however that have attached ota file. Hence sideloaded it.

Why we don't have adaptive battery option and also there are some features missing. Also i can see that date is from april month in ota. Did we get developer preview 1
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
If you change launchers you lose gestures which sucks ?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bogdi1988:
Also WiFi tethering is broken
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chmon:
all windows apps are broken... sharepoint, onedrive teams etc. etc. (only crash...)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] neuteboomt:
Every time I try to sideload the OTA zip I get to 18% and then * failed to read command: no error. Anyone else experienced this?

Nevermind. I was able to run the flashall.bat with the fills in a new folder and it worked.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DROIDESP:
Thank you for this post, saved me a lot of time having to revert, I need these awful apps for work. :good:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bogdi1988:
One drive works for me so I'd call out a bad flash on your side
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chmon:
Did first the OTA ..then with all Crashes from MS apps i did a factory reset....still all MS apps crash.... (Maybe the Problem is intune with apps policies...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bogdi1988:
Most likely. Unmanaged phone and works well for me. You should be using a real MDM like VMware Workspace One UEM (also known as AirWatch) and not Intune - Microsoft can't come anywhere close to the capabilities of AW.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nicoleo98:
Hi, I have downloaded the OTA file of android P, can someone explain me how to flash it? if possible step-by-step.

Thanks
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bogdi1988:
Boot phone in recovery. Select and sideload in the menu then run a CMD on PC with adb sideload *package name*
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Did you wipe? Or am I reading this wrong?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] yankeefan:
Tether working in latest update
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] indrafendy:
It just me or the brightness get more dimmer? Usually 30% get me a decent brightness but now is too dim.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] derausgewanderte:
Works much better for me than the previous build. Haven't had problems with adaptive brightness so far. Maybe if you switch off adaptive you'll see what you expect.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
The brightness is linear now. Before the first 50% of the slider represented about 75 to 80% of the screen potential max brightness. Now it is on a linear scale from 1 to 100. Your 30% is probably the new 70%. Slider would be up higher but it would be the same brightness.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] HiM@L:
Guys,

hows your experience with latest P beta?

Have you seen any reception improvement with new radio/modem in T-mobile.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] leandrohvlucas:
i just installed the latest beta, and wifi is not working...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] fossiltkm:
Having no issues with WiFi here. Give us a little more info on the steps you took so that we can help you out.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] leandrohvlucas:
I just used the Flash-all method with the repository provided my Aer0zer0...

Anyway, i've tried the beta#1 build and i got wifi error

So, i tried the DP2 build and it's worked so far...

but if i check if there's a new build, it says my system is up to date, but it's not!

I should received the OTA for the beta #1 build, no?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Download it from the essential site.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gamestar21:
Do you know if there is anyway to disable this? It's minor but it really bothers me haha
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I truly doubt it. I'm sure someone will come up with a magisk module eventually though, I'm sure you aren't the only one.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
I'm thinking about building a new fastboot with files from the OTA instead of their fastboot images, see if it helps with the odd stuff. Any takers?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] harsh2193:
Here!

Edit: Also a quick question for you or anyone else who wants to take it. I can use the NoWipe batch file on the beta BTS to update without wiping, right? And if I want to revert from the beta back to stock 8.1 without losing my data, can I use a back to stock image with the NoWipe batch file?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
were u having probs with bts in the other thread?

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Pretty sure, ymmv this as others seem to be having various degrees of difficulty. I always full wipe.

Ok. Just wanted to know if I could revert back without losing data if problems arised. I didn't have any problems, I am ready to try the new package though.

I'm using the P Beta #1, and the date and weather are not showing on the top of home screen like pixel launcher used to do

There's any config to i can activate this?

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Zzz73:
Thank you for posting this! Very good video. I have a couple questions though. Is this done instead (as a different option) of doing the fastboot method? Does the bootloader need to be unlocked to do this sideload method? Thank you very much. Sorry if it's newbish questions, i'm just getting back into the rooting/flashing scene after being on a locked down device for two years.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rogconnect:
Only if you wanted to root then you need unlock bootloader. Sideload you don't require if I remember correctly.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dandan2980:
I flashes the flash all files and everything went smoothly for me I didn't have any problems with WiFi either. I came from stock Oreo though. This preview is fast I'm very impresses.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] doublej1980:
Im not able to receive calls with the flashed or OTA files. has anyone else had this problem? one drive isn't working for me either.

It really is huh. Animations are so freaking smooth. Hard to believe this is an early version
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bogdi1988:
Correct ?

---------- Post added at 07:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

Must be a bad flash or some other app conflicting with it. Might want to try doing a factory reset. OneDrive works for me.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DJBhardwaj:
I've got both - the factory image and the OTA. I was wondering if sideloading the OTA will wipe the device as well? (Normally, it shouldn't)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] indian84:
Nope. I flashed OTA Zip via TWRP and didn't wipe anything. Worked like a charm.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dandan2980:
I think I have the same issue
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mhamzas:
Installed OTA and all working (y). Make sure to use the stock launcher otherwise you might face issues with navigation.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] italiangi:
Hi anyone flashed OTA and can't receive phone calls. Calls out fine but will not receive calls. Sprint variant don't know if that makes a different.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I still think swipe left to go back should be a thing. The back button looks so out of place.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Zzz73:
I just made the leap. I went from totally stock to sideloading the P OTA. Everything seems to work. Calls in and out are good. My quick settings has a salmon colored background in the notification shade. Anyone else have this or know how to change it? Also, my SIM status is about phone says "Chameleon". (I'm on Sprint) Again, no problems with calls or texts but that seems weird.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dandan2980:
I couldn't receive any calls but could make them. On T-Mobile. I did the flash all image but I'm back on Aosip now. Didn't realize I had this issue till mid day lol
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] italiangi:
Lol ya me either . Good to know there is someone else out there with the same issue. Though I had no friends
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] fossiltkm:
Wow. After reading this, I just realized that I'm not receiving calls as well. Also on T-Mobile.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] syckman:
Quick settings get that weird color if you have a dark background. I had that as well and changed to a light background and is fine now.

I'm also on Sprint and mine says 'Chameleon' as well but both calls & texts work so I'm fine with that.

Wifi Hotspot

Anyone else getting an error when enabling the wifi hotspot? If yes, any fix so far?

---------- Post added at 01:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

Same on Verizon. Phone does not ring but voicemail comes through.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedTator:
I feel like I'm one of the rare ones not having issues with calls...have you messed around in the *#*#4636#*#* menus at all?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bobnitup:
Yep... no luck
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedTator:
What settings did you mess with in there?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bobnitup:
Swapped various radio settings and tested calls. None rang the phone. Any other suggestions?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedTator:
Nope...I haven't a clue... Maybe wipe everything and flash again
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] johnciaccio:
Had a problem with switching apps. Only current app showed up. Had the new search bar at the bottom of launcher. However after doing a data reset to get app switching to work right the launcher now went back to search on top and lost the time and weather.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surface13:
I was on stock 8.1 May security patch. I sideloaded the P Preview OTA. I thought everything was working till I started reading this thread. I'm not receiving calls either, but only if I'm on LTE, I get calls just fine on H+. I'm on AT&T. I'll factory reset, see if it works, if not, I'll do a clean flash and report my findings back here.

I'm enjoying the preview, minus the fact I can't use Tethering which is a known issue, and that I can't receive calls while on LTE. I wonder if the 2 issues are linked.

That being said, I can't find the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" nor the "Wifi Calling" options. If I'm in settings and search "voice" Enhanced 4G LTE Mode shows up, I click it, and it just takes me to Mobile Network. I don't see any sub options to take me to Enhance 4G LTE. Same with Wifi Calling, takes me to Mobile Network option.

Anyone find the setting to use full screen? (The option they added in Dev Options)

If you want the date and weather back:

Long press blank space on desktop

Choose Widgets

Scroll down to "Google"

Press and hold "At a glance(Beta)"

Place it on your desktop

Prosper
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] johnciaccio:
I am missing the at a glance widget after factory reset. Had it before along with the bottom search bar. Now both are gone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surface13:
Did you have the Google app installed?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ankitmishra0411:
you have mentioned that you are able to receive calls on H+. Can you please tell exact settings.

Also, did you get a chance to do the factory reset if yes did that work??

just asking no pressure.

No calls

I flashed the factory image. Most things working but calls are not coming in. Outbound calls are good. I am looking at a factory reset and start from scratch I think.

I will continue to try to fix and report back. I am on Verizon.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bobnitup:
BakedTator: are you using the factory dialer? It definitely seems to be an app problem. When test dialing I restarted the phone and it immediately sent the call to voicemail. Indicating the phone recognizes the call coming in.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Is everyone without calling on either T Mobile or Verizon? Seems to be the case. I'm Canadian on Rogers and they work fine here.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] knift:

But I am on Oreo Aosip Rom and I went into the phone settings and I see that option in there. Right now it is unchecked but I can receive calls normally on Oreo kinda weird but I will try this later in the evening on P
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bobnitup:
This is a setting for SIP providers. This will not correct the issue for major providers in the US
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dandan2980:
Ok then , thanks for saving me from wasting my time

only way to receive calls on verizon is to set radios to 3g/cdma , probably tmobile as well

But a guy in discord has at&t and has the issue!

I say flash again with a clean slate
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedTator:
Silly question...do you know of a version of pixel launcher that works with the gestures for the home button?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
I don't. Haven't seen anything pop up on the other launcher threads either .

I have heard reports of seeing weather and upcoming events on the lockscreen,,,anyone seeing that?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surface13:
Didn't get a chance to factory reset. Starting one now. Go to mobile network settings and change from Global, or LTE to 3G. That is how I got on it. Again, I'm with AT&T
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ankitmishra0411:
It worked for me thanks. Let me know if the factory reset works.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surface13:
Factory reset didn't work. Going to do a clean flash now. I'll keep you updated.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surface13:
Full flash using aer0zer0 dumps from this thread didn't fix me being able to receive calls. Going to try one last thing. Reverting back to May 8.1, then using the fastboot file from Essentials site. I really want it to work, but if it isn't going to work, I can't use it as I need calls to come through for work. =/
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ankitmishra0411:
thanks for the update. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surface13:
Still not working unless I change the band from Global/LTE to 3G :(

Time to flash one last time back to 8.1 May SP
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bobnitup:
I tried this exact thing and couldn't get it to work. Let us know if you can get it to go.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
I'm guessing many are having the same problem. I'm on mintsim (tmob mnvo) and also couldn't get incoming until switching to 3g.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] pbr35586:
Thank you very much. When I flashed P on my device I checked this setting and lo and behold it was turned off to save battery life. I have checked and can confirm this fixed my issue.

Thanks again,

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
Jomansch

Thanks for the heads up! Changed my call setting also per your post and changed my preferred network type back to 4g/LTE. Now receiving incoming calls no problem.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surface13:
After setting everything back up on 8.1 May SP, I saw this post. So I did an OTA back to PPR1. Changed the settings as shown. Didn't work for me. I'm on ATT. I then changed to Global network, then LTE network, then 4G/LTE and still ntohing. I still only get incoming calls on 3G only network =/

Also did a factory reset. Tried again, still only 3G! :(
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kmoney059:
are you in the US? I was under the impression that was only for people outside the US not on Verizon too sprint or att...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
South Florida, Mintsim (tmob mvno)

I don't think it much matters which carrier you have if your phone is set to not receive incoming calls. You won't get'em.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
That switch isn't on on mine and I'm still getting calls. Not really sure what that switch is even doing there. Very random
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBurgh:
Are your calls 3g or 4g?

I'm on Android p on my essential ph1 and I'm wondering if anyone has Xposed framework installed on their device and functional. I'm rooted and tried installing before, but my device would get stuck in a boot loop. IDK if I flashed the wrong boot img? Idk, just want to know if anyone had some luck. Thank you.

I was using "Always using notch area" as default in the Essential notch settings (8.1), after upgrading by OTA my PH-1 the "immersive mode" is always active (meaning the black bar on top and the soft buttons are hidden) any option to turn them back on? disable the immersive mode since there's no a notch option yet?

Thanks!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
That is notch an option yet, until the next beta.

Sorry I had to.. Did you try one of the immersive mode apps? Gmd maybe?

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
Maybe it is just me but after countless flashes all with pretty much the same affect (no incoming calls unless your on 3g) why are people still flashing this? Is there any benefit to running an obviously flawed beta build other than to just see what it looks like?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] derausgewanderte:
hehe, you are like me. But remember that we are here on XDA. Most of us are folks that have that tickle to try something new to customize and make their phone unique and sometimes the more challenging the more interesting it becomes :cool:
