[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] pizzaboy192:
I bought a used XT1806 off someone local. They had AOSP Extended installed and was using it with Verizon. I use T-Mobile and tried to use the ROM with T-Mobile but WiFi calling wouldn't work.

I tried flashing a few ROMs but all the ROMs have the same problem. Under the mobile network settings, I get a "Error while searching for network" popup. It connects to T-Mobile fine but I can't force it to search for networks.

I have my IMEI showing properly, but this error prevents me from checking network settings and causes issues with WiFi calling. My phone will get "kicked" off the network randomly when this happens and I have to reboot the phone in order for it to go back out of emergency calls only mode.

I flashed it back to stock Nougat and everything works as designed, WiFi calling and all, so I'm lost for where to go from here. Does T-Mobile WiFi calling just not work on non-stock right now? On any non-stock ROM I am completely missing the IMS details that show up on stock Nougat, and the network is super flakey.

Go to the play store, find and download the App Hidden Menus from Craig Newell. Open it up and see what hidden Menus it has for your carrier.. Play around in there and see if you can find something of use.. I did with Sprint, but haven't tried it out on any custom roms.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] pizzaboy192:
What settings did you find with Sprint? There's nothing useful for me besides the testing menu on stock Nougat and T-Mobile.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] doubledragon5:
I found under *#*#3282#*#*: Data Settings, which include Data Profile, EVDO, Advanced, eHRPD, LTE, Apn setting LTE-Available.

Then under *#*#33284#*#* I found HiddenMenuApp, which includes 1xEngineering EVDO Engineering, LTE Engineering, Configuration, Bluetooth, Data Status, Memory State, eHRPD

These are just a few of which I have found.There are a bunch of stuff under the title SprintDM as well.

I mentioned in a topic I started, that these might be handy for those who try custom rom, and have big issues with Sprint service and data.. This is why I haven't installed any custom roms yet, as I don't have the time, and this is my primary phone, and can't afford for it to go BOOM, when I need it. LOL

NOT buying one.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
This is really disappointing, BUT I can't see the V40 being too different from the V35 in terms of specifications the only potential thing I can think of is a under the display fingerprint sensor and possible 8GB RAM instead of 6GB, neither of which I consider important, at this rate I'll be getting a V35 and sticking with that until this stupid notch trend is phased out.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Going to have 5 cameras. I don't care. It has a NOTCH.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisrj28:
My thoughts exactly, soon as I saw notch I was immediately not interested.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Employee - I don't think people would want a notch on the V series, maybe just leave it on the G series

LG - No we can get away with the notch if we have something else to distract them....

Employee - How about we just lose the notc-

LG - GIVE THEM 5 CAMERAS!!!!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] pjsnyc:
Can't u 'hide' the notch? At least there's that.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Yeah but you'll end up with a bigger bezel than what the V30 or V35 offer so it's dumb
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] FalseBuddha:
I honestly have no issue with the notch. As long as it's basically only as deep as the notification bar it doesn't seem very intrusive. The only thing that will keep me from buying the V40 will be if they drop the headphone jack or if they keep it locked down like the T-Mobile V30.

Or if that Vivo comes to the states.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No. See below.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No. Unless LG provides a way.

If they're so proud of the notch why would they hide it?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bilbo60:
I agree. I won't be ready for a new phone for another year+ (so probably looking at the V50?). The notch doesn't bother me at all, as long as they keep all the other great features.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaysus145:
People care about notches Way. Too. Much.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Because imo and many other it's stupid, what is the purpose of the notch? For the smallest amout of screen either side to display the time and date lol? Or are those gestures they provide groundbreaking and therefore make it worth it having? The notch interrupts the whole design flow of the device and for what?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachiroku:
way to notch away at my dreams
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLS123:
So I won't be upgrading from the V30 that has the screen cracked in a corner right now. I might buy the V35 or another V30.

I'd rather have older hardware than a notch. Not even 20 cameras could make up for it.

I don't need the status bar visible, so I'm hiding it on the V30 now (and actually gaining screen). If I'll hide it on the V40, I'll just have a larger bezel than on the V30. How the hell is this progress?

I could barely step on my pride and accept a rounded corners screen eventually. But I'll never accept the notch, it's simply a too retarded concept to solve a non existing problem.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] FalseBuddha:
Moving the notification bar to either side of the notch does free up screen real estate for actual content. You don't need the entire top of the device for that information anyway.

I would personally love if they used it to recreate some of the Second Screen functions of the V20 (the Floating Bar is lame). Instead of "hiding" it like some manufacturers I think it'd be great if you could customize each side individually with things like quick access to apps, a simple media controller, toggles.

If the phone is designed with the notch in mind and it's done well I don't agree with that at all. I think, done right, it's just fine from an aesthetics standpoint and it's basically free screen area. What's that section of the phone going to be used for otherwise?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
1. What useful content is displayed there that otherwise can't be displayed in a notchless phone? I'm curious.

2. While this is a great idea because I loved the V10 and V20's take on a secondary display, I'm talking about the current state of the notch which does nothing like this and probably never will, LG the owner of the V series didn't implement any sort of apps, toggles etc next to the notch on the LG G7 ThinQ.

3. It's down to preference I suppose put its fact that the notch itself literally invades the screen, look at the V35 as a perfect example, no notch minimal bezels and it's a beautiful device.

4.

It doesn't have to be used for anything, the notch is a step backwards in terms of design, it achieves slightly more screen to body ratio, at the cost of looking ridiculous and serving pretty much no purpose.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] FalseBuddha:
1. All the information on the notification bar can be shown to the sides of a notch. This moves it off the uninterrupted screen space allowing for more content there. It's literally just more room for information that's already displayed on traditional phones, just moved to a less intrusive place.

2. You talk as if you know what LG is going to do with a phone they haven't even officially announced. The V-series has a history of implementing this feature, so I'm not ruling out the possibility, though I agree that it's not likely. I loved my V20 and think incorporating Second Screen functionality would do several things: it would help differentiate the G- and V-series phones, it would continue LG's implementation of the feature, and it would be the first time a manufacturer had actually made use of the extra space in an interesting way. Did LG implement the Floating Bar on the G6 or G7 (I actually don't know)?

3. Sure, some people don't like it visually, but that doesn't make it useless or bad tech. Dislike the way it looks all you want, but the internet'll make you think phones with notches are coming to take your firstborn. I'm not in love with them visually, but I don't think they're necessarily bad looking. With a black notification area they're not really that noticeable. I mean, I throw a case on my phones within a week of buying them and no one else really uses them, so aesthetics aren't super high on my list of priorities, I'm not trying to impress anyone.

3.5 I don't personally think of it as invading the screen at all, I think of it as extra screen that can display information that doesn't need the full width of the screen, expanding the area that can be used for things that do need the full screen.

4. It's free screen. The area around where notches are would otherwise be empty space. That seems actually useless, not just kind of useless like you're saying notches are.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] pjsnyc:
I'm obviously only making assumptions here, but the G7 allows for 'hiding' the notch...so it'd make sense that LG provide it for the V40 if they indeed go with a notch. I think it kinda looks cool having time, notifications, etc as white text on black background.

[IMG="G7"]https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/tZX7KpXAesPHgojnA9Mrbg-970-80.jpg[/IMG]

As for why they'd hide it? Probably because at least providing that option will please some customers that are turned off by Apple's stance to never hide the notch.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Hmmmm.... I wasn't aware G7 allowed that. Thanks for the information.

I knew OnePlus has some kind of gimmick like that (I think), but I despise OnePlus so that didn't interest me.

I would definitely hide the notch.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lmservas:
5 cameras and the option to hide the notch at least...I'm in.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] crubbish:
It really is a matter of perception. Some (most) people take the notch as an intrusion into the screen while others think it's an expansion of the screen into the bezel. The latter is probably more fair since, if apple or other manufacturers would be pushed to not have a notch, they'd end up with the thicker top bezel and less screen. IMO it's pointless to argue whether the notch is good or bad thing. If you don't accept it from the aesthetic viewpoint then hide it or buy a phone with no notch. From usability viewpoint there are pros and contras and for some people pros will outweight the cons and vice versa.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
If you can hide it very well -- as if there's no notch whatsoever and no one can see the notch you're ashamed of -- I would consider it.

But if it's like a toupee, where it almost fools you, I'm not buying it.

I like my screen on my LG V30. I don't need a stupid notch to have "more" screen.

Apple does theirs for a technical reason I'm not going to explain here, but doesn't apply to any Android phone -- and just makes Android phones look like silly copycats since there's not the underlying reason.

Eventually, technology will allow us to have full screen displays with no bezel whatsoever. Until then I'll accept minimal bezels like LG and Samsung have done for the past year. I bet Samsung won't do a stupid notch in 2018. ;)

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] partylikeaninjastar:
Same. I'll be purchasing the smaller Pixel 3. No notch and can be used comfortably with one hand. It'll be my first non-LG phone.

It's hardly freeing up any screen real estate. Your eyes don't focus on the space below the status bar. Saying the notch adds more real estate is an extremely poor argument.

Now that you two bring this up... the notch is actually a step backwards. The second screen wasn't great, but it was useful. The notch does and provides nothing. At least a second screen would have provided useful functionality.

And that's my biggest gripe with it...

And here's my other gripe. ALL of the information from the status bar cannot be displayed on either side because there's no longer enough space. That's why the clock got moved to the left and some OEM's are no longer showing battery percentage. The notch literally cuts into and takes away from your usable screen space.

The notch is as useless as having bezels is useful. Bezels are useful. A notch is not. And it's also tacky. Sure, you could hair black out the sides next to it, but that only highlights how useless and pointless the notch was in the first place
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Here it is guys, honestly, seeing the render made it worse for me, because if it didn't have the notch I would 100% get this, it's got the same beauty that the V30 did and they ruined it, still don't understand why they didn't keep the notch for the G series and let the V series be notchless

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] HKSpeed:
Based on the leaked images, I would buy the V40. I don't like notches, but at least you can "hide" it by turning off the side portions of the screen. On an LED screen, like the V40, the black sections will blend in well with the notch. I also like having the clock and notification icons next to the notch. You get more screen real estate this way. On our 18:9 V30 screens the status bar takes up a top section of the screen. The V40's 18.5:9 or 19:9 hidden notch screen is equivalent to a 18:9 without the status bar taking up space. The notch is not taking away screen space, rather the screen is being extended into the top corners of the phone to make more screen space. The V40 with a hidden notch looks like a V30.

We should be complaining about rumored SD845 chip in the V40. A couple months after the V40's release, we'll see phones with SD855 chips that may have 5G modems. Remember when LG released the G6 with the SD821? A month later everyone released SD835 phones. So wait for the V45 next year with the SD855.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
I think LG's stance at the moment is to get refined hardware out to average consumers and then later on release a slightly more "premium" version for the consumers who appreciate that, the SD845 and triple camera layout is appealing enough for most educated phone buyers, then when the V45 is released that's when the more "tech savvy" customers will be interested, the majority of average users probably don't know what a SD845 is.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No. "V" series is for tech savvy. The "G" series is for people who don't know better or don't care. LG has said that many times, in more polite words.

Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Yeah I completely agree with that, I meant specifically regarding the current G7 and then the V40 & V45, I think the V40 is offering people a better refinement of LG products (obviously) and then the V45 is to push it further with it being rumoured to be the first 5G handset and also the SD855, the V40 (in my opinion) is LG finding a in-between, as in edging customers up from the G7 but not all the way up to the highest end V45, I'd just like to add I think LG's decision to do this is fine with me personally.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] intruda119:
Notch plus lcd is a bad combo.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
There won't necessarily be a V45. Until this year, V (only with even number) was for end of the year. V35 released in U.S. mid year is an aberration. Japan usually got a special V phone, but no one else. (Japan got V35 first, then was released to U.S.) We'll have to wait until next year to see if that repeats.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] partylikeaninjastar:
LG should just bring back the second screen. It's more functional than a notch.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ferez:
So with no second screen, no removable battery, larger screen size of the G series, and now a notch, what differentiate the V series from the G series?

Both are IL-STD-810G compliant, and both have a 32-bit DAC as well.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
All we know is LCD vs OLED for now.

Maybe stereo speakers? More cameras? Better selfie camera? More RAM?

We don't know what the V40 will have to differentiate it from G7. V35 doesn't really count. It was basically Japan's V30+ (all the headlines even call it a V30+ in Japan) but with G7 internals, and then AT&T decided to release it instead of the G7 (wise decision) and now Amazon and Google FI have it. But it's "bastard" (someone else used that description in another thread) between a V30 and G7.

But in 2017, the G6 had stupid regionalized specs. You couldn't buy G6 with ALL the specs-- like quad DAC, Qi wireless charging, more than 32GB internal storage. DIFFERENT regions got different specs. In U.S., no quad DAC, only 32GB storage, but OK you get Qi wireless charging. Stuff like that. Whereas Korean carrier variants didn't have Qi wireless charging.

And part of LG's reasoning (which hurt them) was they didn't want the G6 to "compete" against the 2016 V20. I thought the V20 was too clunky and was very interested in the G6 -- until I found out I couldn't get ALL the features being touted.

That's why the 2017 V30 was what the 2017 G6 SHOULD have been. V30 had EVERYTHING.

I'm glad LG dropped the 2nd screen thing. For me that's what the notification bar is for and 2nd screen made the phone too big (for me). It was too gimmicky. I want a premium phone with premium features and no compromises (like the G6 with regionalized specs). That's why I'll probably never buy a stupid OnePlus, since they won't even give users QHD 1440p that all top tier OEMs have done since late 2014.

Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] HKSpeed:
It's strange that the most Chinese OEMS use 1080P screens on their top tiers. There are a few exceptions (Axon7, Moto Z2 Force), but Huawei, ZTE, Oppo/OnePlus, Xiaomi use 1080 for the top phones. Even the gamer-focused Asus ROG phone is 1080P.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
LG, Samsung, Motorola, Sony, HTC, Google Nexus/Pixel all have 1440p or higher for flagship phones since late 2014.

Those are real premium phones. I couldn't care less what budget Chinese OEMs like Oppo/OnePlus (same company) do to cut corners (no IP rating, no Qi wireless charging, no QHD). OnePlus will never have QHD or those other features until Oppo allows them.

Top tier Androids usually have better hardware specs and features than iPhone which stays several years behind. Even the iPhone X has higher than 1080p, even if they don't have QHD 1440p (yet). iPhone also has high IP rating and Qi wireless charging. That shows conclusively OnePlus, etc. are not a real premium phones.

This year (2018) Google with Pixel 3 XL is finally correcting their idiotic mistake of dropping Qi wireless charging after the Nexus 6 and adding it back.

As you noted, 2016 ZTE Axon 7 did have QHD 1440p but they never released a follow-up. It was ZTE's effort at a premium phone and rivaled the 2016 Google Pixel at half the price (same Samsung display, plus stereo speakers, plus microSD slot).
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
1440p screens/panels are considerably more expensive than 1080p, for Chinese OEMs it's important for them to keep the cost as low as possible, the only OEM I rate from the ones you've mentioned is Huawei, I'm rocking a Mate 10 Pro, though it's strange to me that the Pro got a 1080p OLED and the standard version got a 1440p LCD.

Wait until they throw that ugly tall 19.5:9 aspect ratio on it to kill it real good. I spent an hour with the LG g7 and couldn't bear that tall display. Thing were all over the place. It looks disproportioned big time. In a year or two it'll be so hard to find a good normal phone to buy.

It's just sad that Android manufacturers copy the bad stuff of the iPhone X. People don't buy iPhones because they have notches and missing headphone jacks... It's so obvious - what are they thinking?

Well I'm very happy with v30 so I don't care and the notch trend will eventually stop.

[e] on screen resolution, I dont see any reason for 1440p unless for VR. 1080p is sharp enough... But I agree if you spend a certain amount of money you expect the best of the best...

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ferez:
Practically speaking, with a dark background on an P-OLED\AMOLED panel where you can barely distinguish it from the black bezel, LG could actually program the notch to be used as a second screen for their V series, why don't they do that.....when you think about it, if you regard the 2 screens of the V10 and V20 as a single entity, they both have a notch.
