[LG V30 Questions & Answers] gobananasnet:
Issue: Launchers when active disables the Double Tap feature to turn off the screen.

I like to use Nova Launcher for several reasons. However with the new LG V30, when Nova Launcher is active the Double Tap to turn off the screen fails to work. Double Tap to turn it back on works fine, as does the Double Tap from the Lock Screen works for both screen on and off.

Is this a known issue with launchers, or is it an LG V30 issue?

I've not had a phone with the feature for Double Tap screen off/on before, so I have no idea if it's to be expected and find nothing posted about this either.

Thank you for reading,

it is issue of nova launchers

May have to have the paid version, but it's in Nova Settings, then Gestures and Inputs.

That does work! Thanks!

Well I'll be... that works even when Nova Launcher is active. Thank you!

Nova has its own homescreen shortcut for switching off the screen: Widgets -> Nova Action -> activate lockscreen. Of course Nova needs the permission for that.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] downwiththebanksters:
OMG this is great,thanks for that!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Arcide:
Doesn't work as expected, just avoid it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] saintsimon:
A pretty substance free coment: What was your actual expectation?

Since that shortcut switched off the screen on every Android phone I had so far as long as Nova has the required administrator permissions set. So I see no need to avoid it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Arcide:
There are two modes, one of which locks the phone, after which the fingerprint unlock doesn't work, you have to enter your code to unlock the phone. The other one doesn't lock the phone at all, it just turns off the screen, and the AOD doesn't show up untill the phone actually times out and locks on its own (it says after 5 seconds, but it's actually 30 seconds for me).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Wolfsbane58:
I would agree. The present implementation of Nova Launcher doesn't really follow function or form with the V30's own lockup function. It doesn't really lock the phone up. It just darkens the screen... not secure it.

What I really would like for Nova Launcher to do is to enable the user to use the whole screen to implement the knock code to lock the screen up. I think the reason we can use the notification area alone, is that this is part of the V30's own infrastructure layout, and not a Nova Launcher area.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes that always works with Nova.

And if you configure this option, it will also work anywhere on the screen.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] kedaha:
Yes but as other posters have said, it doesn't actually lock the phone - it just turns the display black and only locks after the display time out (60seconds in my case). It doesn't turn off the touchscreen, it just blanks it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] FaceTheSlayer:
If you are rooted nova can lock the screen just as lg launcher does.

I tried to setup vpn connection with L2TP/IPSec type in my new s9. If I choose the network type as PPTP OR IPSec Hybrid RSA, the save button will be enabled. But if I choose any other type, such as L2TP/IPSec RSA or PSK, the save button will be grayed out and I can't save the setting. Is this normal or something is wrong or did I miss anything? The same procedure used to work fine in my S7. Thanks

[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] floppyedonkey:
Hello I am in desperate need of an app for my HP Elite X3 CDMA that is only available to the GSM version.

- Request -

In need of an app called "HP Lap Dock Wireless Settings"

The Windows Store lists the app as "This app is not compatible with this device."

I have the Verizon model of the Elite X3 and keep getting notification to update the Lap Dock and the Desk Dock firmware, they are both brand new and not running the latest firmware's. However as mentioned and found in research HP and Microsoft are treating the Verizon model differently.

Store Link:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/hp-lap-dock-wireless-settings/9nblggh44029

If someone could provide the above app as an offline installer/sideload that would help out tons and I would ensure the ability to spread this to anyone else in this situation.

I reset the phone with the desktop utility and did not restore any backups, I also went into a Microsoft Store and started a technician ticket with them.

You have to use the "HP Device Hub" application to update the Lapdock and Dock to the latest firmware, you don't use the "HP Lapdock Wireless Settings" app to do the update.
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] dnsfau:
Indeed; but now I would like rename my Lap Dock.

Anyone know how I go about performing this simple task, when my lap dock is already running the latest firmware?

Can the HP Device Hub perform this task?

What if I bought a used (2nd hand) Lap Dock & want to rename it?

I just want to rename both of my Lap Docks.

Any direction would be awesome.

Thank you!

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] lbarouf:
Hello,

I am new to Huawei and wanted to understand more how Huawei was differentiating their devices for each markets. If anyone can comment on the aspect they know for sure, please do so. If unsure, it's ok, but please refrain from misleading.

I just receive a BLA-L29 (C636). Are there many models of the Mate 10 Pro, specifically the BLA-L29? Is the C636 the submodel version number (if so, what is that code called, likely not a submodel). Is there a mapping of those models and the markets/regions they are meant for?

Are firmware deployments by regions only done over OTA? If so, do all devices get them or only when in the region on one of the carriers supported? Any official firmware file distribution, or OTA is the only official method of distribution? Firmware finder is the only other unofficial tool I know of, outside the firmware thread, any other alternative of distributing official firmware for the Huawei devices?

And last but not least, if I know the precise model I have, how is the best way to search for, say firmware 8.0.0.142... Firmware Finder or something/somewhere else?

Cheers, thanks for introducing me to the Huawei hardware variations.

Hello, I'm new to programming in android and I wanted to make an app similar to Strong or Daily Strength because I'd like them to have some options like being able to see my friends workouts and I don't think they are gonna add those options any time soon so I prefer to try it by myself. I've started doing an introductory mooc about android and then I've done a timer and a onerepmax calculator to practise and know I don't know if I should jump to making the app from start or working through a similar open source app and trying to do it myself and look at the code if I get stuck. Also if you know of an open source app that's similar to what I want it would be nice to know about it.

Also I'd like to know how to plan a project like this. Should I write down what will each screen do, and how will they be connected before starting coding?

There is one thing that annoys me a lot, and that is this to-the-left side animation of the lockscreen after fingerprint authentification.

When you press the powerbutton, the phone for a while shows the lockscreen and almost-instantly do this animation. Together it disturbing.

Can this animation be turned off, or adjusted? Fade-out would be OK, but this to the left is nonsense.

also volume issues, doesnt matter on what ringer level I am I always seem to notice my phone by it self some times just resets it self to level 1 of volume (first step)

some times I make it silent and sleep, next thing you know its waking me up from messages as it turned it self to step 1 of volume by it self...

even if it was on any other volume step it seems to get back to 1 step after random amount of time each time...

[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] techtalkonline:
I have a TV Show Favs app on my Honor 9 Lite and it has a widget that I use. The widget shows upcoming TV shows that I watch and TV shows that I have not yet watched. When I've seen a TV show, I can mark it as seen on the widget.

Since getting this phone, the widget freezes after an hour or so meaning I can't mark anything as seen or view upcoming shows etc. I have enabled background running, every permissions enabled etc. This is also happening with my Tesco Xtras App that shows an add each time I turn the screen on so that I get a reduced monthly bill. That works initially for an hour or so then it never works again.

I recently got the Essential Phone and instinctively decided to mess around and flash a custom recovery. I then found out that TWRP is not compatible with the essential phone running 8.1 beta. I am now stuck in fastboot mode. However, when i enter recovery mode, it goes straight to the logo screen with powered by android underneath and nothing occurs. When I start the phone back up, it also goes to the powered by android screen and does not load up. My computer does not recognize my device through ADB. My bootloader is unlocked. Any help is much appreciated as I do not want to have a useless phone after having it for a day. Thank you

--from what i gathered, fixing the phone is a matter of flashing the stock.img, which i have downloaded. However, because my phone is unable to be recognized by adb/fastboot I am unsure how to accomplish this

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Which firmware are you trying to flash?

Are you using one of the back to stock ROM images?

That is what you should use.

Open the script and use the commands line by line in a terminal.

If you are using a Mac it is a good idea to reboot before you start flashing.

If you have used ads or fast boot, it can sometimes get into a state where it won't see the device.

My Mac (native USB-C) will often crash when trying to flash the system image.

I upgraded my Samsung S4 from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 sometime back - I337UCUFNJ4 to I337UCUGOC3

Everything was working fine until i removed a few apps. Phone battery ran out and when i restarted phone is stuck on Samsung logo since then.

Tried all available options on recovery screen.

1. Downloaded old 5.0.1 file (provided by muniz) and tried to install, there was some error related to an app PEEL_L.apk and couldn't continue

2. Safe mode not working instead i see option to either download for Odin setup or restart

3. wiped out cache partition, factory reset many times but still not able to go past logo

4. Tried to flash old kernel of 4.4.4 I337 NJ4 kernel using Odin 3.09 but there was no luck. Even though it says RESET and blue tab, phone restarted and again stuck at samsung logo.

Hello guys, this guide is for creating backup of persist partion which is holding important data about sensors, wifi + bluetooth data, imei and other stuff.

Before installing any other custom room, this is best thing to do, lot of custom roms rewrites persist partition with different data than your mobile devices has, you will have problem with calling(missing imei), problems with Wifi and other stuff, i think you get it...

REQUIRED TOOLS:

[URL="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LW1CM6gLT9wRyy950rC6GmWAzEbcyfzE"]PersistBackupTool[/URL]

Follow this steps:

1. Root your device, this is pretty much easy guide: [URL="https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654"]LINK[/URL]

2. After rooting your device, enable Developer options (Go to settings >> System >> About phone >> tap Build number 7 times)

3. Enable usb debugging, go to Settings >> System >> Developer options >> and enable USB debugging

4. Run PersistBackup.bat and wait

5. Your persist partition will be saved in Backup folder.

ENJOY!!! ;)

(EDITED, check the end)

First, I've tried with the "adb" commands, but I get "Permission Denied".

So, I decided to try the tool, which still gives me a "Permission Denied", but still prints a sucess message at the end "Persist partition has been successfully backed up! Partition has been saved in Backup folder!"

Not sure if it's my mistake. I'm rooted + USB_debugging.

EDIT:

OK, I've read that for adb "su" to work, you need to have device unlocked, with screen on, and grant permission.

Turns out Magisk was rejecting root permissions to Perfdump automatically.

Should work now. Nevertheless, perhaps you could check why it prints that backup worked when permission was denied. Someone could be fooled there =D
