Crossposted from LG G6 Q&A forum since that one is very quiet...

I've got a strange issue on my LG G6 with both the media and bluetooth volume periodically resetting.

I keep normal media volume at 0 and bluetooth volume maxed out. However periodically my phone will reset so that the media volume is maxed and bluetooth is at 50%. I've been trying to debug it messing with settings and removing apps, but so far with no luck.

Some details:

The reset occurs abruptly with the volume jumping from 0->max (media) and from max->50% (bluetooth). It is not a gradual change like something accidentally hitting the volume buttons.

They both change at the same time, usually when receiving a text message or unlocking the phone. The switch appears to be triggered by some app/setting while the phone is asleep and then it actually takes affect when something else (message/unlock) wakes the phone. Note that it doesn't change on every text or unlock.

The issue happens a couple of times per day (2-4ish) that I notice. There is no obvious association with anything like alarms going off or notifications appearing.

The change occurs both when something is actually playing (spotify, pocketcasts, youtube) or when nothing is playing. No obvious association with any specific media or media app's activity.

This is occuring on Android 8.0.0, the phone is the Amazon Prime version of the LG G6+: LGUS997U.

Any ideas for what might be causing it? Or tips for debugging it? The only thing I haven't done is hooked up the USB and tried to dig through logcat to find the issue, mainly because I'm not sure what to look for...

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] MackHoncho:
I'm a noob but a respectful one. I'm embarrassed to have to post in this forum asking for help on what should be such a simple problem but I'm three days and 500 google searches closer to insanity.

I just want to install TWRP on my Essential Android which I bought from Best Buy but activated on T-Mobile.:

Product - Mata

Variant - Openus

Bootloader Version - mata-84f7cce

Baseband Version - 2.0.c4.M2.0.3

Secure Boot - yes

Device State - unlocked

I've installed ADB and fastboot on my computer and made it system wide using the PATH variable in Windows 10 Pro System Properties "Environment Variables"

I have all the proper Windows usb drivers from the Essential website and I have activated Developer Options, OEM unlocking and USB Debugging on my phone. I've removed the pin so the device doesn't lock.

I'm using the original USB C cable from Essential plugged directly into my new HP all n one USB C slot.

I've copied the twrp image and pasted it into C:\ADB\ along with my minimum adb\fastboot install. I then opened a powershell there. Both the "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" commands show my phone is being recognized and that I am indeed in FastBoot Mode.

I originally left the twrp image name as downloaded: "twrp-mata_2" but when "fastboot flash recovery C:\ADB\twrp-mata_2" resulted in "error: cannot load 'C:\ADB\recovery.img': No such file or directory"

I renamed it and ran the command:

"fastboot flash recovery C:\ADB\recovery.img"

Same error.

Please help
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] barteringram:
There is no recovery partition on the device.

To flash TWRP, you'll need to fastboot flash boot, then boot to recovery from fastboot on your device. Once in TWRP, you'll need to flash a boot image before restart. TWRP isn't persistent, so you'll have to do this every time.

Unless you're looking for a custom ROM, the easiest way to root is just to patch a stock boot image with magisk and flash it from fastboot.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] A_Pac1:
You should try using a Type-C to USB cable, I ran into the same issue trying to flash mine using supplied cable, once I tried the USB to Type-C it worked. :good:
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
[MENTION=4754890]barteringram[/MENTION] is right, no recovery partition.

Your command needed is this.

Fastboot flash boot whateveryounamedtwrp.img.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sohbins:
fastboot flash boot_a/boot_b yourTWRP.img

The above command worked for me. Use boot_a or boot_b depending on what you have. In addition use a separate type C cable to your PC instead of stock type C cable and remove all USB accessories plugged in the PC. I know its crazy but working with this phone may require you to do some unexplainable stuff.

Stop the presses!

Please do not use that old ass version of TWRP...

Many many fixes since then...

Please read and familiarize yourself with

And also realize that you will not ever have persistent TWRP
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] droidstyle:
TWRP-Mata_11.img is what you should be flashing and you have to flash it via fastboot Everytime you want to enter twrp. Then you have to flash a stock boot.img Everytime you reboot the system from twrp.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ipatrick123:
I am semi new to this community, so I am unsure if it's doing this because I am rooted or not but I've got twrp permanently installed... So from my understanding Slot a can hold your os and slot b basically hold your twrp you just need to remember when you need to switch back.... How I installed was fast booted twrp to slot a, then in twrc switched to slot b to install rom, then switch back to slot a and did a reboot to recovery... Boots into twrp, I switched back to slot b to flash gapps, then restart system... Once inside os and everything is set up if you are rooting reboot to bootloader and flash the patched boot. Img with fastboot on pc... Then reboot system... Now when you want to use twrp all you have to do is reboot bootloader, fastboot to switch to slot a, and then boot recovery... Then Twrp will load then switch to slot b and you are good to go!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] MackHoncho:
Thank you in advance for answering about three questions as of yet forthcoming... done this b4? lol

BTW, yes, I intend to install magisk, root and AOSip 8.1.

Anyway, I got past the original problem, kinda.

My problem arose from having too many adb installations in too many places on my windows machine.

I deleted everything, installed a single instance, put everything in a single folder on my desktop, opened a windows powershell there and then adb/powershell was able to find the twrp file.

Next problem was a "no such partition" error which was solved by a google search and specifying the slot location in the flash command.

NOW I have twrp recovery installed but the touchscreen doesn't work so its useless. AAAAAARRRRGHH!

Should I post a new thread or is this still OP?

I'm still in the same boat as my goal is a working TWRP recovery....

please advise
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] MackHoncho:
Worth a try I guess but I am maintaining a solid connect to my PC and all other commands seem flawless. My problem has evolved now. I have installed twrp but now the touchscreen wont work.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] MackHoncho:
You might have just solved my newly evolved issue (got twrp installed but now touchscreen doesn't work)

Will get on it and let you know.

Quick question; What do you mean twrp is not persistent? Does that mean I have to install it and install magisk and whatever rom from twrp on the first shot before rebooting? At what point does twrp disappear?

What other pitfall, tips or tricks should I be aware of?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Haz3:
It's not persistent as in it won't survive the flashing of the stock boot.img.

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandrumheller:
It's the icon for "disconnected". A number of users on Reddit are reporting seeing it (including myself). I believe it is a bug in the last wear os update. Does not seem to have any impact other than being annoying. Watch is still connected for me.

[Edit] Sorry to revive an old thread
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhricik447:
Means no communications from watch to phone.

I had an app that was 'sleeping inactive apps', turns out it was killing bluetooth in the background. Also make sure that your system knows not to 'sleep' that app when it is in the background (setting usually in Battery settings).

I've also fixed that problem by re-setting up the Bluetooth connection from watch to phone. Remember, Bluetooth specs say about 30 feet, but that is without any obstructions between devices like walls.

I'm new to Nova and liking it so far but I can't get numerical unread numbers to appear on my BlueMail icon. :(

The counters appear - and work - for messages and WhatsApp but not for BlueMail.

BlueMail is enabled in the TeslaUnread settings and the App Icon counter is setup correctly in BlueMail Global Settings.

Same problem on both a Moto G6 and a Oneplus 3

Anyone know what I'm missing??

I think you need to look in the settings, and find the "permission notifications" item. I had a similar case on another launcher, I did not see the call of the subscriber, I had to look for it through a third service https://ukareacodes.org/ :D , but it was a long time ago, and I was a layman) It turned out all was much easier
[Android Apps and Games] sclg:
Excellent pointer - thanks.

The launcher needed app permission to get email details.

[General Questions and Answers] BlazedFire:
So... I encrypted my rooted Linage-OS Samsung Galaxy S4. It didn't like that at all. (But that's not what I'm here about.)

I pulled the data block device from my phone and have it on my computer. I was following this guide: https://jomo.tv/android/remove-android-device-encryption but it restores the data with fastboot. I'm pretty sure this phone does not have fastboot. I have converted it into a tar using a img-to-tar converter but Odin gets stuck on File Analysis. I have tried transferring the userdata.img to my phone so TWRP can restore it but it gives me "Protocal Error". I'm not sure what else I can do.

How do I restore my phone?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jbm76:
Battery life was so good on the op6, but since the 5.1.9 my phone is hardly dozing. Overnight it's averaging around 4% per hour idle, I averaged .8% per hour on 5.1.8.

I cannot pinpoint the drain, seems like Android system is doing it. Not sure if it's an rogue app. I've clean installed 5.1.9 and it's still doing it. My next step is to clean install again and not install any apps.

I didn't do anything except update apps from Google Play store and install 5.1.9.

Anyone got any ideas or having the same issue?

You need to put the Kaiser in Bootloader mode and it should say Olipof at the top left (or right, can't remember exactly)

if it is already tweaked with Dutty's Rom. It will have hard SPL on it but in bootloader mode it should say olipro Hardspl in the upper right hand corner.

[Nextbit Robin] br0adband:
I have a chance to get a brand new Nextbit Robin (never opened) for $40 and I'm really leaning towards getting it, it's the black model (my preference) - no it's not a sale online someplace, it's one-shot purchase from a friend that won it in a contest and never even bothered to open it.

My question is: can anyone comment on the sound quality as well as the actual volume from the speakers on the Robin? I mean, I just recently owned a Moto X Pure and that had some damned nice sounding dual front speakers, similar to the Nexus 6 (not the Huawei 6p, I mean the older Motorola Nexus 6) and so while I'm guessing they're not anything like the Moto X Pure in terms of loudness (they were quite loud, surprisingly), I'd still like to hear from anyone that can offer their opinion on those two aspects.

99.999% chance I'm gonna grab the Robin because at this price it'll be a cool thing to own - I wanted to get one when they first came out and as it so often happens I decide at some point to pass on devices when they first come out because of pricing then pick 'em up at a later time used more often than not.

In this instance, it's a never before used still in the shrink wrapped box for $40 and that's a tough deal to pass up even considering that the cloud-based storage features are now long dead. It would have been neat if someone had discovered a method to go into the stock firmware/ROM and found a way to alter the server information so we could literally host our own cloud storage solution.

I have to wonder if such a thing would be possible, that could work out pretty great to be able to use your own home storage setup as your own "personal cloud" with that device and keep the stock ROM.

I see there is a healthy community at work with even Oreo support nowadays, so I'm excited to have a new toy to play with for sure. But even so, if someone could offer some idea of the sound quality and volume compared to some other devices - like the Moto X Pure - I'd appreciate it.

I've seen a bunch of videos doing minor simplistic reviews of the Robin but nobody focused on the actual sound quality or volume, they just say it has dual front speakers and then they move on from it.

Anyway, thanks for any responses, and have fun, always..
[Nextbit Robin] NotAPerso:
Quite the steal, definitely worth at that price.

I can comfortably listen to YouTube in an environment with some noise. Quality is decent enough.

As long as you know how to flash custom ROMs and the like you'll have fun with this phone. My only real complaint is the battery life which is unfortunately not very good.
[Nextbit Robin] boxes:
Sound quality out of the speakers is very good, good enough to play music while im working outside and don't have a speaker. The audio quality out of the headphone jack is superb. I previously had an LG G2, which has a Wolfson DAC. The Robin is just as good as the g2, with a bit more loudness.

So there's some stubborn tissue or lint stuck in my charging port. Used a sim tool to get it out and it's pretty stuck there.

[Motorola Droid 4] Sudosftw:
No, I'm not talking about flash size or MicroSD stuff.

I'm looking into the feasibility of upgrading the RAM onboard the Droid 4 (or Bionic, or RAZR.)

the OMAP4430, after doing a bit of research, does support 2GB, but only with some code changes.

My question is if such things can be modified in the code of any third-party ROM.

I found this on the Ti e2 community that raises the question of things to be changed.

I understand that the bootloader on these are generally locked (with the difference being the GSM RAZR, AKA umts_spyder, I believe that one is unlocked) but I would think such a thing might be possible just putting the proper code in the kernel to say "hey, I've got 2GB of RAM, not 1GB!" and hoping that works.

I have a friend with a hot-air station and tools to make the swap if I were to go about it and actually commit to buying the parts/stencils/etc. needed to do this properly. the end result would likely be a better overall Android experience on these aging devices, and assuming it can be done cheaply (AKA, just the cost of the RAM chip, assuming buddy has a stencil already for this) and then it would be documented down the line to help those brave enough to do a last-ditch-pimping of their phone to get a couple more years out of it until either the supply of third party batteries runs dry or the NAND flash onboard ceases to function.
[Motorola Droid 4] The Solutor:
You may find useful the equivalent thread for the Photon Q

https://xdaforums.com/photon-q-4g-lte/general/upgrade-ram-mod-construction-t3686855
[Motorola Droid 4] Sudosftw:
I saw that, but I'm not familiar with the Photon Q. Judging from just that thread alone it seems there's likely an unlocked bootloader at work there as well.

My big question in regards to that is if such a modification requires the bootloader to be unlocked and modified as well.

Since, it's common knowledge the 4/Bionic/RAZR all have locked bootloaders, hence safestrap.

I know the premise for how safestrap functions is it tricks the bootloader into thinking a kernel upgrade is happening and straps off that to load the OS and updated kernel. I know from ancient times some PCs wouldn't show the maximum amount of RAM to Linux so an entry had to be added in to Grub to tell the kernel "hey I have this much ram, ignore what the BIOS says about that" and the system played nicely.

So in actuality, I'm wondering more if such a thing can be passed to the kernel at boot from safestrap without a recompile.
[Motorola Droid 4] The Solutor:
Unfortunately I don't have enough experience in that specific area to say a definitive answer.

But I guess that once one figures out what are the boot parameters and/or the source patch[es] needed to the kernel, they should work in a kexec environment as well.

The bad news is that is unlikely to have a person with enough skill in both electronics and kernel hacking. Assuming there are some of them, hardly you can find some of them owning that specific phone and willing to experiment with it.

The good news is that hardly you can brick an XT894 doing experiments with it, while while an unlocked phone, like the XT897, has more success chances, but also more chances to kill it for good.

That said I think that there are too few D4, (and even less PQ) to get any serious hope of success in that.

Also because, "thanks" the market model, the "fresh meat" is more interested in getting a $ from a stupid market app rather than working for free in some bigger and cooperative project.
