Actually, the way these updates work, is that they use the stock recovery to basically hash check all the files in /system then patch any files that are different between the old os version and the new, so without the kdz to breakdown, we need anyone who has applied the update to do a partition dump of /system, then we can work with that...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
Found an issue with the HD Audio Recorder. Hadn't used it with Oreo till a few moments ago and here's what I get:

- in Normal mode, when I start a recording I get a huge spike in noise, then another smaller one, then an even smaller one then it goes flat (not counting typical background noise)

- in Concert mode, sometimes it's a huge moment spike that works like Normal mode with two successive smaller ones, other times I get this gigantic buzz for about 1.5 to 3 seconds (it's pretty visible on the waveform display)

- in Custom mode I get that huge buzz for 1.5 to 3 seconds (again, very visible on the waveform) every single time I start a recording

I've disabled the app, cleared the cache and data, rebooted, and for me with my H918 this is reproducible basically every single time without fail.

Can someone else with an H918 that's now running Oreo do some test recordings and see if you're having the same issues that I am with each of the recording modes?

It never ever did this with Nougat, not once, every recording was for lack of a better term pristine and clear of any and all extraneous noise/clicks/pops etc meaning anything that the mics weren't picking up externally. I won't go so far as to say it's a dealbreaker but if I'm not the only one having this issue then perhaps it's a pretty serious bug considering, remains to be seen.

Anyone willing to test and provide some info would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Some pics to show what I mean - when I start the recordings there's no background noise to speak of happening, the material being added to the recording is happening internally for whatever reason and again this never ever occurred with Nougat (10p through 10u).
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ecarlson:
I tried Normal and Concert, and I don't get any extra noise.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
Thanks for the report, I really have no idea what's going on with this phone. Both rear cameras are shot and offer nothing but blurry out of focus images and I have a replacement primary camera arriving in the next few days. if I replace the camera and it still ends up being useless then I think I'm just going to return this device to the eBay seller and say it's defective.

Not sure why that's happening with the audio recorder but that is a reason that I bought it: to be able to do that kind of recording so I may roll back to Nougat and see what happens before I return it. Something tells me the camera thing could be the real sticking point.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emeianoite:
So I updated yesterday, it losses reception sending a text until I refresh my operator, and even then it might not fix it. Wi-Fi is completely janky, it'll not connect until I force it to and notes my SSID as "disabled".

I'm raising hell at my tmobile store if it's not fixed at the end of the day, hopefully they replace my phone (out of warranty) from them making it useless (who the hell actually calls people nowadays?)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] crs77:
Before raising hell with your out of warranty phone, I would factory reset after any big update. Always fixes my problems.

two days on Oreo, I am very happy with the update. My cell reception has improved a lot. phone is faster.

there are small but important Oreo specific updates everywhere. loving it.

I used the flashable zip to update, rooted with magisk, and using mk kernel.

Oreo 8.0 UX UI Performance

I'm noticing similar UX improvements; moving from 7.0 to 8.0 . I feel there are more frame-drops with 8.0 but it's hardly noticeable when the phone is consistently fast (compared to consistently smooth ; if that makes sense).

Pictures 1 and 2 are comparing Interactive to OnDemand on Oreo 8.0.

Picture 3 is a snippet Interactive graph from Nougat 7.0.

I see that Interactive on Oreo 8.0 behaves more like OnDemand, ramping up to max frequency with OnDemand still behaving like OnDemand. Interactive governor on Nougat 7.0 spends the majority of its time at 1036 MHz (or half speed) more than not. Naturally I tested this on fresh batteries and did not modify thermal-engine-8996.conf whatsoever for consistency.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] alpha-niner64:
I can't test Custom settings since you haven't provided your own settings to compare against. However I did produce 7 second intervals of Normal & Concert settings and have not experienced any recording issues whatsoever. I also tested this against my Nougat device and have no problems whatsoever. The spike in the waveform was intentional to test sensitivity at a known distance away. I also did full KDZ flashes to ensure consistency which includes /data and /sdcard formats. Lastly, I have tested this against 2 different LG V20s on fresh stock OEM batteries of different kinds to rule out any shielding or EMF issues. I dunno man...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
Thanks for that report as well. I'm going to do a full reset here in a few and hope that relieves this issue but I'm guessing it won't, after which I plan to just roll back to Nougat and be done with it.

Oreo seems to have some nice standby time as I noted with like 0.2% per hour which is great, but considering I plan to use the HD Audio Recorder rather extensively I'm not interested in any potential issues. Sure I could just start recording and then snip out the noise during the editing process but it shouldn't be happening at all so there's something up with this phone that I might not be able to resolve with Oreo on it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Greatness83:
Only real issue I had is the dumb battery notification every time something uses it. Once I figured how to turn that off, all is golden.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emeianoite:
I appreciate you advice, i did factory reset. Went into the store to raise hell but immediately was told to phone in about update related issues... Lol, anyways, so i raised hell over the phone, getting a new v20 tmrw.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ecarlson:
Let us know what happens.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
Well I went back to Nougat and it started doing the same thing and I haven't a clue. :)

I'm suspecting it's the device and since I can't do much about anything till that damned camera module arrives (it's still somewhere in the USPS system and I don't know where the hell it is at the moment, the tracking info hasn't updated since last Friday) and I see if the new module is workable or not.

So I decided to roll back to 10p, install TWRP, then go straight to the rooted Oreo and it's been working OK for a few hours now. Using the mk2000 Oreo beta kernel for the moment and everything seems OK. Did a quick recording with the HD Audio Recorder and while the glitches are still there they appear to be a bit less intense now for whatever reason, the noise spike is about half the amplitude it was previously so that's just where it's going to have to stay I suppose.

The standby/idle time on Oreo is pretty awesome, that much I do actually like quite a bit. Performance overall has been nice. On Nougat when I first got this H918 I did an Antutu test and got just a bit over 141K which surprised me considering it was the stock T-Mobile 10u firmware. On Oreo I got about 134K so down a bit but that was a few days ago and not current with this mk2000 kernel so I might try that later and see what it gives. No I don't really care about benchmarking much - I don't play games on my smartphones, well maybe Chess now and again, that's about it - but it's still nice to see some actual statistical evidence things are working up to spec or close to it.

I'm OK with Oreo so far, it's working fine enough without any complaints except that icon sorting thing irritating me to Hell and back but that's a personal complaint of my own I guess.

Still kinda irked about the volume rocker thing, guess I need to look into Xposed now that I'm rooted but I don't see much talk about it these days so i don't know (at this precise moment) if it's doable on the V20 with Oreo so that'll be the next thing I research here in a bit.

Thanks for the responses... ;)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BadToThePhone:
You prefer Oreo to nougat then?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
Holy crap... I was not expecting to see this kind of performance boost - and again, I don't really focus on benchmarks but it's nice to see the device can prove itself even in spite of the 2 years it's been around. I've always said the Snapdragon 820, a mere quad core SoC, can still hold its own to this day and well, this to me proves it. :)

Just installed Antutu and ran it straight off the battery with the rooted Oreo ROM + the mk2000 Oreo beta 2 kernel and no other tweaks at all and I got this which is still leaving me a bit speechless. As I mentioned in a previous post, when I first got the V20 about 2 weeks ago I ran Antutu on Nougat (10u) and got just a little over 141,000 so this is rather significant in comparison, quite a difference indeed - that's basically a 16% jump in the benchmark performance which is astonishing.

As for what I prefer, that would be easy to answer: I prefer LineageOS to be perfectly honest but since using it would mean no LG camera app and no HD Audio Recorder app and some other things that wouldn't work right or perhaps as good as they should then I have to stick with Nougat or Oreo. Since I'm now sorta kinda committed to Oreo with this rooted stock ROM, I'll see how things go over the next few days.

But this score, on this device, running a stock ROM with the modded stock kernel, I'm absolutely amazed. :D

Oh geez... I have 666 Thanks and this is post #66 in this thread, good lord... someone thank me so that number changes, quick. :p
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hillg001:
same here .... one to test & one that NEVER gets messed with, until the "SL" (sacrificial lamb) experimenting phone survives getting messed with. That said, the SL/test phone updated to Oreo, is not a 918/T-MO model (iirc it's a 910). But the OTA/Oreo killed TWRP on the test phone - as well as its unlocked boot loader. Oreo is well past software version u, so it's unlikely the bootloader can be re-unlocked. (sigh) Will probably just sell the dang test phone as a nice - stock - carrier unlocked phone, & stay away from Oreo/Pie until it's cooked into a custom ROM. Duno, but it seems like LG did a policy change & did serious gymnastics to prevent users from unlocking boot loaders any more - like that's their primary goal.

new? or rebuilt .... LG doesn't make new ones, 2yrs after the fact. Also - was there an extended warranty involved? did they check root? custom rom?

Finally after Oreo 8.1 update for Moto G5S Plus you can install custom themes to your device using Substratum and Andromeda engine without root. You'll require to purchase Andromeda app from play store (no patches would work, should be installed from playstore only) and another app Substratum theme engine and a windows pc or mac. Just follow this thread on xda for instructions.

Hi there. I was curious for those of us who still use a nexus 4

What charging rates do you get? The maximum i have ever gotten is 850mah via main wall socket with an official Qualcomm quick charge three one. even just a cheap charger i have around gives the same maximum charge limit

At 50 % charge it tells me an hour and a half to full. Its a long time

My cable is rated to 1500 as another phone hits 1350mah charge. With the same chargers

Please do let me know what you've gotten and if its more.

Also if any of you have exact quick charge 1 specifications, let me know. Or specifically how it works.

I have an unlocked Moto G6 that I am trying to flash with Verizon firmware. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A google search has shown nothing.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] ninjakira:
What do you mean by unlocked. There bootloader unlock and sim unlock. Sim unlock just allows you to use another network. Bootloader unlock allows to to flash. Also there is no Verizon firmware to flash because the Verizon model can't be bootloader unlocked which means you can't flash it. Verizon and att are notoriously the worst when it comes to having there phones eligible to be bootloader unlocked
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] fmj77:
I guess it's SIM unlocked since I can pretty much use it with any carrier by swapping the SIM card.

Hello,

I have a problem with the S9. While listening to music every couple minutes or so, it's like it skips for a second or two.

Also it sometimes will turn itself off.

Anyone experienced any of the two ?
[General Accessories] Kraize:
Known problem. Even says so on the box. (Says you should keep it above your waist otherwise it will cut out).
[General Accessories] marek101:
That's bs. it is above my waste...
[General Accessories] clonmult:
I had the same - with all 3 of the S9s that I had. Sound quality was great, but it was hyper sensitive to phone location.

And all 3 of them failed with exactly the same problem. They're supposed to be suitable for active people - I used mine whilst running on the treadmill down at the gym. Bit of perspiration in them and then went bzzzzt, stop. Rubbish.

The Jabras that I'm now using don't look anywhere near as good, and don't sound quite as good, but the battery lasts for twice as long, and they don't die when I get a bit sweaty (ewwwww!)
[General Accessories] rokit.man89:
hmmm that really strange as i constantly use my S9 with both my wizard and athena and have never noticed this problem even though my phones are usually lefin my trouser pockets below my waist
[General Accessories] Kraize:
True, but it dies after a bit of sweat hits it...and you may find some work better with other phones. IMHO I suggest wait for it to become in-ear and better water protection.
[General Accessories] GiZZy:
I found the range to be dependent on the bitrate of A2DP

When i 1st got my S9 i could listen from 2 rooms apart but the sound was a bit low quality, ofcourse i value quality and i cnaged it and now the phone has to be really close to me, but its not a prob since i only use it omw to school n back.

Check Here

(Look around if you can find different values working )
[General Accessories] mkOnKeY bOy:
I have a similar problem with my S9, except it constantly stutters, playing less than a second at a time. It's completely unuseable.

I've tried changing the bitpool settings, but it didn't make a difference, playback still unuseable. Does anyone know what else it may be? Or if there are any hacks or apps, or any way in which this can be resolved? It used to work fine before I upgraded from WM5 to 6.1
