[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] birkskov:
Hello,

I have a LG Spirit (LGH440N), which has still stock rom and was never tried to unlock/flash/root. It permanently shows the error "unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." so i can't access any settings. I also have to take the battery out to shut it down. I tried to make a factory reset with the Recovery-Mode, but this results in the error "no command". The LG Mobile Support tool isn't much use either.

I would be grateful if anyone could give me an advise how to fix this or how I could flash the stock rom again.

Thx

I tried flash a stock lollipop rom via lg flash tool and downloadmode, which seemed to have worked. But after the reboot I got the same error and the lg mobil tool says it has still the newest firmware. Has anyone an idea what else I could try.

i had HD calls and volte in my Galaxy S9+ but i dont think it works on M20P

is it supported and if it is how do i enable it?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] roosta:
According to PDADB, the phone CAN do this...for both CN and Global versions 128/256:

http://phonedb.net/index.php?m=devi..._128gb_lya-lx9__lya-l29__lya-l0c__huawei_laya

I believe Huawei firmware HIDES the toggle of voLTE by default...but should work automatically when your device is connected over 4G LTE. My limited understanding is - by default it's already enabled, as its dependent on your location and carrier, too.

So, if you think it requires activating, which i don't think is the case, here's what P10 users did:

https://www.solvemix.com/index.php/android-smartphones/1778-huawei-p10-volte-making-calls-solved

If for whatever reason you think it's NOT activated or not working and want to visually SEE the toggle (and enable if disabled) then the following process requires ROOT access which you current'y don't have on your phone, unless you have a chinese ROM:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUfmiDBPczw&t=6s

There, you can use an app like ES File Explorer and add a line of code in the BUILD.PROP file...It worked perfectly fine on my P10+ and my "VoLTE Calls" setting now shows and was automatically switched to ON.

Google and YouTube are your friends dude.

VoLTE is activated by default on Mate 20 Pro, at least on the French ROM.

Can anyone on Optus in Australia confirm if VoLTE works via a non-Optus purchased Mate 20 Pro?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Follow here for more info.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] ero69:
If this response was in relation to my Optus question, thank you, but I'm not sure how that topic that refers to T-Mobile US relates Optus AU.... I have actually been following that thread and in my opinion M20Pro VoLTE won't work in US due to the carriers not supporting Mate 20 Pro full stop.

VoLTE is still not a defined standard hence carriers must enable specific devices for VoLTE and a device often must have carrier specific firmware on the phone for it to work. I assume VoLTE does work with Optus since they are offering the phone but hoping for confirmation.

To be more specific, I'm looking to purchase a Mate 20 Pro soon. I'd rather buy from JB Hi-Fi for the (hopefully) speedier firmware updates direct from Huawei but if VoLTE is confirmed working with Optus, and the only way to get VoLTE working is via purchasing the phone from Optus, then I would do that.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hi ero,

This is just in response to some of the general questions in this thread.

What is Optus anyway?

Oh ok it's an Australian phone retailer.

Yeah that would be awesome if you could do that. Good luck man!!

Unless the Dual SIM has T-Mobile VoLTE, I'm screwed if I want the Mate 20 Pro though! lol Just sux. Part of me wants to say F it and just get it anyway, but not having access to like Band 12 sux. My area (Chicagoland) is about to get Band 71 as well from T-Mobile, and of course these phones don't have that either. FML! lol
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] bloodomen2:
I got this on..

But im not sure its the same the hd calls on S9+ sounded amazing
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Hazzay88:
I really want to know how to enable it for Optus
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I'm in Chicago on T-Mobile (via MintSim) and Volte is not currently working on my Mate 20 Pro. But I also have a P20 Pro (which like the Mate 20 Pro isn't sold or supported in the USA) and Volte works fine on that phone with the same sim card. I had a similar issue with the Mix 2 (Volte) and Mix 2S (no Volte) but on Xiaomi phones there is a way to force enable Volte by entering a dial code. There doesn't appear to be anything similar with Huawei, unfortunately.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] leo72793:
my 10 pro has it but my 20 pro doesnt. Same tmo usa here. im going back tothe 10 pro as the 20 pro is going back to clove.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Man, how many subsidiaries does T-Mobile have now?? lol They just bought Metro PCS too (now it will be called T-Mobile "Metro").

Yeah I just verified in the T-Mobile forum that the L29 Dual SIM ALSO DOESN'T have VoLTE either on T-Mobile. F'ing sux!!

Yeah I had verified last week that the P20 Pro has it on T-Mobile, but at this point I'd prefer to have the newer model, or just wait until the P30 Pro comes out next spring. Hopefully THAT has VoLTE AND Band 71 too!!!

I'm so tired of having to always check on this for unlocked phones. It just ends up limiting my options, which I really DON'T appreciate, at all.

Really? Wow. I WISH Sony and Huawei had that force enable code for VoLTE too. That would be awesome! I've noticed (and confirmed) that all 2018 locked phones from T-Mobile still have VoLTE, but it's been removed from the settings and "baked" in, so you can't turn it off. Of course you can still make a call and verify you have it as the call of course stays in 4G LTE the entire time. But yeah.........that's the story with the S9+ which my cousin has, the OnePlus 6T which I just bought from them. I was about to complain to T-Mobile lol but then I saw something on their site that explained all that.

I just really resent that I have to choose between the #1 camera phone and if I want great reception or not on my phone. It shouldn't be that way. Not fair at all. And I know it's all b/c our government thinks they and ZTE are spying on us. But I simply haven't seen enough proof to verify any of that.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] rancid990:
No VoLTE support from Telstra in Australia either. I had it enabled on on my Pixel XL (stock unbranded firmware), which is the same sim card that is now in my Mate 20 Pro, but yeah no dice! Telstra has a list of mobiles that they currently support but it's only phones that they currently sell.

Apple iPhone 6 onwards, Apple Watch 3 onwards

Samsung Galaxy devices, S7 onwards, Note 5 onwards, A5 onwards

Google Pixel devices

LG devices G5 onwards

Telstra Signature Premium & Enhanced devices

Sony devices Xperia Z5 onwards

So I really have my doubts whether they will ever support Huawei phones. Which is really annoying because I was just starting to really love RCS messaging on my Pixel.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
TMobile doesn't own MintSim. MintSim is a budget MVNO that pays for use of the TMobile network. I don't really think TMobile is blocking access to Volte for the Mate 20 Pro for political reasons either or they would have done the same thing to the P20 Pro. The fake controversy involving our president and Huawei happened before the Mate 10 came out and there's no question that it was politically motivated nonsense or Canada, the United Kingdom and all of Europe wouldn't allow Huawei phones to be sold by any carrier in the country who wants to offer them.

OnePlus and Blue are the only Chinese phone brands that have ever been caught putting spyware on phones sold in the United States. One Plus has been caught multiple times. Do you see any action being taken against either brand by the White House?

Volte compatibility with TMobile could be fixed in a software update from Huawei but since they are no longer selling their phones here I wouldn't count on it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Oh ok. Yeah I don't know what the real story is. Maybe Huawei got the P20 Pro certified but decided not to do it for the Mate 20 Pro cuz it lost confidence in it selling well in the U.S.?

No I haven't seen any action. Only Huawei & ZTE have been named. And then I read that ZTE paid Trump $500 million as an investment in some new hotel resort he's opening up IN CHINA and then suddenly after that he decided they were no longer a threat. lol F'ing politics!!

Yeah I don't think the Mate 20 Pro will EVER get that update. lol So for now I'll happily keep my T-Mo OnePlus 6T with modded GCam app (aka same software used on the Pixel phones) and see what Huawei (and Sony) do in 2019.

This comparison vid is interesting.

To me, it seems that the Pixel 3 is better for daytime shots and tends to be seemingly more color accurate as well, while the Mate 20 Pro wins out for night shots. But Pixel 3 has a ****ty battery and I'm not big on its looks, and the Mate 20 Pro.............no VoLTE no access to Band 12 during calls, and also no Band 71. Such BS!!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Pixel phones have terrible build quality and lots of problems you mostly don't find out about unless you go to the official Google Pixel Support Site. They cost twice what they should at launch. I would steer clear of Pixel Phones or at least go to the official Google site and read owner comments. Owners are frequently shocked by the poor quality and many serious issues since they read nothing but fantastic things in places like XDA and Android Authority.

I learned this the hard way personally after having been a huge Nexus fan but the Pixel Phones feel much less premium than the Nexus phones in terms of build quality and design and list for twice as much.

The Pixel XL ran so hot Google support strongly suggested using it without a case and the phones suffered in very large numbers from permanent hardware failure dubbed the black screen of death which was comparable to the bootloop of death on the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P.

XDA, Android Authority and Android Police have never written a single word about those problems.

The Pixel 2 had a problem from launch where taking pictures would crash the phone, requiring a reboot. XDA, Android Authority and Android Police didn't write about the problem until 8 months after launch--when Google officially acknowledged the issue and released a software fix.

The oleophobic screen coating on the Pixel 2XL display (which is what prevents oil smudges and difficult to clean fingerprints on smartphone displays) started to wear off after less than 6 months of use. I have never owned any phone where that ever happened and the Pixel 2XL is supposedly a $1000 premium phone.

Those are only a few examples.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Yeah I won't buy Pixel ever I think. I have a friend who bought the 3 XL and returned it b/c he said battery life was awful. GSM Arena confirmed this on at least the 3 (69 hours, ouch!).

I've heard some bad things about the Pixels, but WOW! You have really opened my eyes here jhs! Thank you for sharing this information.

I will just continue to use my new T-Mo 6T with GCam mod. I'm very happy with the phone overall! Next year I will very likely (though not def) upgrade to either the Huawei P30 Pro, or else any of the following are possible: Sony Xperia XZ4 Premium, Samsung S10+, maybe iPhone too, or else OnePlus 7. We shall see. Right now I'm siding towards the P30 Pro.

I WOULD'VE prob bought the Mate 20 Pro if it had T-Mo VoLTE (it doesn't, unlike older P20 Pro) and preferably also Band 71, which T-Mobile is about to deploy all over Chicagoland (where I live) by year's end.

Does anyone have a stock build.prop for the LG Ultimate 2 (LGL41C)?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
EDIT 1: Resolved the issue by reverting the ADB command I used to hide the navbar. So if you have this issue as well and happen to have performed a hidden the navbar with an ADB command or using an app designed to hide the navbar, that is likely your culprit, as well.

EDIT 2: The only method confirmed to hide the navbar without causing notification icons to stick in the status bar, is to root your phone and edit the build.prop by adding the following line at the bottom of the file: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

(original post)

I'm experiencing a strange issue with my stock, unrooted Pixel 3 XL. When a notification comes in, I get the lockscreen notification like normal. Then I unlock the phone and swipe down on the notification drop down. I'll click the notification (Gmail message, for instance). I'll read the message in the Gmail app, which marks it as "read" within the app.

But when I go back to the homescreen, the Gmail notification is still in the status bar. It doesn't go away until I swipe down on the empty notification drawer for a second time.

This issue holds true for Hangouts, Whatsapp, Gmail, Outlook, Slack etc. etc. Pretty much any app that gives me a notification is experiencing this issue. I don't think it was doing it right out of the box. Just seemed to start happening within the last couple of days.

Anyone else seeing something like this?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Paz9:

I have the same issue on the 2 xl for various apps, such as incognito mode in chrome.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
'Battery Saver' was already turned off on my phone. But 'Adaptive Battery' was on. I'm going to try turning that off for the day and see if that fixes it.

EDIT: Turning off Adaptice Battery and rebooting the phone didn't solve it. Status bar notification icons are still lingering. Pretty annoying.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
On mine they go away after a short time on their own, it's the same behavior I had on 8.1 as of a couple monthly updates ago. I'm not sure that this is a Pie bug or I suppose, a bug at all. Anyhow, I'm not bothered by it, everything is the same as before except I can see the notification hasn't left the screen in the few seconds between when I dealt with whatever was there and set the phone down. Pick it up shortly afterwards and they're gone. Once I got over the mental "huh" of it and realized it doesn't affect anything it kinda settled into the non issue category for me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] forwardthinking:
Same damn thing. Even on my 2XL which wasn't rooted. Has happened since upgrading to Pie. Even before I started installing apps. There must be some setting we're all toggling that others aren't. Surprised this isn't all over the forums since it affects multiple phones.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Sevael:
I had this on my Pixel 2 XL for a day or so after a fresh wipe and setup, then it went away after some tweaking of various things. No idea exactly what fixed it. I was mainly messing around with battery optimization (on a per-app basis) and Tasker automations around the time it stopped happening.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Paz9:
in battery settings - change "optimize" to "dont optimize" for the apps

that solve it on my op6
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
I never had this problem on OP6 and I had optimization on

I can confidently say optimization is on now and it's not happening after a full reflash
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I don't see this setting on my 3 XL. I know it was there on my OnePlus 6 though.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Xaiux:
This happens every so often with my Pixel 2 on Pie
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Confirming that even after the November OTA, the issue with notifications sticking still persists.

I find it quite ridiculous that given how many people seem to have this issue with Android Pie, regardless of whether it's a Pixel device or not, Google has yet to acknowledge or fix it.

I know some say it's related to battery saver settings but I've tried everything, including disabling all battery saver options completely and rebooting. The problem continues, no matter what. It's getting very annoying.

What's strange is that I never experienced this issue on my OnePlus 6, even after running Android Pie beta and full release for multiple months.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
To be real though... after i did a flash-all due to corruption on my device, i haven't noticed these ghost notifications any more...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Ugh... I was just thinking about doing a full flash-all myself to start fresh with the November full factory image. After reading your comment, I think I'm just gonna go ahead and do it.

I'm just sitting around watching the election stuff anyway. So I might as well set things back up from scratch again.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Just finished setup after the clean flash. So far, status bar notifications from Hangouts, Gmail and Whatsapp have all been behaving properly. I'll use the phone as normal tonight and tomorrow and I'll report back tomorrow whether or not the issue returns. So far, so good though! Thanks for the recommendation.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
no problemo .

I'm more curious as to why a flash-all would take care of this.. what are we doing that is triggering this behavior eventually?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Well, that was short lived. status bar notification icons are lingering again. :(

But, to your point, I have been performing a system change right after initial setup, which is an ADB command that hides the nav bar and allows me to use OnePlus Gestures, instead of the stock nav bar. Other than that, I haven't even installed a custom launcher yet.

I'm going to try reverting that back to stock and see what happens.

EDIT: ...welp, that was the problem. I reverted the ADB command to hide the nav bar and disabled OnePlus Gestures and the notification issues are resolved. Can't believe I didn't think of this sooner.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
Try using the build.prop edit instead to hide the navbar ... Lmk if u need it

I have it with one plus gestures and no problem
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
EDIT: I forgot about that method. I performed a clean flash again and used the build.prop edit method to hide the nav bar instead. I'll see how this works but should solve my problem with notifications while allowing me to keep gesture navigation.

Thanks for the help!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] cantara256:
I tried switching to OnePlus Gestures, but that ADB command is still required to hide the nav bar. Are you saying there's no way to hide the navigation bar, and have notifications behave normally? How exactly did you get both to work?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] c_86:
As stated before in here

Add the following the your build.prop save and reboot. Nav bar gone

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Yep. ^^This. But this does require root (modified boot image). Otherwise you can't edit the build.prop and have the phone boot normally.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] cantara256:
That worked, thank you very much!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Paz9:
ive done flash-all.bat on my 3xl and ghost notifications are still there

after disabling navbar hider and using the build.prop tweak works better now

but some apps dont behave the same as they did with the navbar hide
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I was having issues with some work related apps not working with root, thanks to my IT department who thinks it's necessary to go WAY overkill on security settings.

But I was still determined to hide the nav bar without getting the stuck notification issue. I found a solution that has been working great. It does require that you have ADB setup on your computer....

1) plug your phone into your PC/Mac

2) Open up the terminal or CMD and paste in the following ADB command exactly as written:

adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-169

3) Hit enter then reboot the phone. Your nav bar will now be permanently disabled. I tested with a few different variables (-143, -153, -155, -165) before finally landing on -167. It perfectly hides the nav bar without cutting any content off at the bottom of the screen.

There is one caveat to this solution, which has also been the case with other nav bar hiding options. That is when you are in landscape mode and try to adjust volume, the volume pup-up is half hidden and you have to turn the phone back to vertical to see the full pop-up. This is minor enough for me to not care, though.
