[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
For former Motorola Droid Turbo owners who held onto their beloved phones for a long, long time (I had three of the sibling International Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo), interesting discussion going on over here in the Droid Turbo forum -- debating what is a good upgrade to the Droid Turbo.

What have you replaced your beloved Droid Turbo with

Personally, I think the LG V30 series (whether V30/V30+/V30S) is in spirit the true upgrade to 1440p QHD Moto Quark, with Qi wireless charging, headset jack, great battery life -- in addition to high IP rating, fast fingerprint sensor, microSD card (which the Droid Turbo 2 had), and no stupid Apple notch. I know several former Droid Turbo owners agree, by the fact you are HERE. :D

LG V30 has everything the 2014 Droid Turbo had PLUS more. ;) (well, except IR blaster -- but no phone has that build in nowadays). Point is LG V30 (maybe LG V35, but no root on that) is the closest you are going to get an "updated" Droid Turbo. It's EXACTLY the phone that Motorola should have released...

However, there are a few misguided souls who are touting the OnePlus 6T -- which of course only has no 1440p (only 1080p), no headset jack, no Qi wireless charging, as well as no microSD card slot. 2018 OnePlus 6T is a downgrade in so many ways to 2014 Droid Turbo. If your company motto is "Never Settle", then OnePlus is clearly telling you NOT to buy their phone. :cool:

If you owned a Droid Turbo and now have an LG V30 and wish to join the discussion, feel free. For those who still own and use the 2014 Droid Turbo, time is running out... Not only old CPU and 2GB RAM, but also most are running custom ROMs which do NOT have Verizon VoLTE. By end of 2019, Verizon is dropping CDMA, so it's urgent people start their upgrade now. With Christmas and New Years coming, that's when a lot of people will treat themselves to another phone. You will be helping people make a good decision.

You need to re unlock the bootloader. I had the same issue. In fastboot mode says bootloader unlocked but it seems that is not. When i tried to install stock B638 through dload folder it seems to "relock the bootloader"

I found that it is easy to share my Vista notebook's DVD ROM for my Shift to install programs.

Of course you need to connect both your Notebook & Shift in the same wireless network!

I just simply right click the DVD ROM on my notebook and share it to the network. After that, go into the network in Shift, you will find the shared DVD Rom.

came across trying to install some games..problem is that those games check for CD and they're not that stupid to just look for some files..solution should be iSCSI for sharing drives via network. My solution for this is creating an iso-image and mount it via daemontools or alcohol as a local CD-Drive.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mhammett:
I am looking for more observations on this.

I believe the restriction on the Google-approved wireless chargers for charging rapidly was instituted in a software update.

Out of the box, my 3 XL was "charging rapidly" from my old generic wireless charger. I installed the update and now it's "charging slowly". Can anyone else confirm?

​​​​​​​Can I roll back my update?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
The update actually corrected the issue. Previously the 'rapidly charging' being reported was incorrect.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lucky_strike33:
I noticed that it didn't charge rapidly after the update. But I did a reboot on both the wireless charge pad and phone. Now it charges rapidly
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mhammett:
Oh, so it said it was charging rapidly, but actually wasn't?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
correct.

It was quite a news 'story'. Third party wireless chargers that aren't certified by Google (there are none out yet, or at least werent when this news broke) were only charging at 5w, while reporting 'charging rapidly'. The pixel stand charges at 10w.

The update merely corrected the display, they still just charge at 5w.

Many articles written about it, for example: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbre...ess-charging-approved-chargers-restriction-qi

and then: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...-correctly-identifies-slow-wireless-charging/
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mhammett:
Right, I saw that. That's why I was excited when it said it was rapidly charging before the update.

Do we have confirmation that the update just changed the messaging and not the performance (ie: they forgot to enable the DRM in the factory software)?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
It was confirmed before the update that it was NOT charging rapidly (the performance), IE: 5w. It was just reported by the phone incorrectly. Nothing else changed, other than what the phone displayed on the screen. If its not Google certified (or a Pixel Stand) it just uses the Qi standard which is 5w.

It wont change until Google certified chargers are available.

See here for some insight from users: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/wireless-charging-results-t3857438
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mhammett:
That thread doesn't actually answer anything. It has some parroting, some bickering, some fanboying, and some unqualified screenshots.

We need amperage screenshots from people that have not yet applied the update to know that for certain.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
OK. Believe what you want.

It was widely reported by many reputable blogs. Many posts about it elsewhere besides XDA, etc.

Google has even commented on it specifically: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...rate-standard-5w-third-party-charging-pads/#1

The ONLY that has changed from the update regarding charging with third party chargers wirelessly is that it now is reported correctly as charging slowly.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mhammett:
You seem to be lacking reading comprehension. I am not disagreeing with the fact that Google has adopted that position.

There is no evidence that I have seen yet that shows that out of the box is a reporting error versus not yet locking it down. It may very well be, but a screenshot of low charging rates without verifiably being pre-update doesn't answer that question.

I repeat. There is nothing that I have seen that says it was a reporting error instead of simply being that Google didn't have the DRM in the shipping release.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Fine, insult if you must. Keep your head in the sand, and ignore the manufacturer clarification that third party chargers only wirelessly charge at 5w, and only the Pixel Stand charges at 10w. Ignore all the blogs who reported that it incorrectly reported at release and that the November release now fixes it to report correctly. Ignore that the current Qi standard for wireless charging of phones is 5w, but Google uses proprietary software in addition to Qi to charge wirelessly at 10w with the Pixel Stand.

Not really sure if you have read any of the links how you could come to the conclusion that Google forgot to turn on the 'handshake' (as they call it) and it worked with third party chargers. They clearly state it doesn't, even an engineer from Anker accessories says thats how it works (at release), but yet you refuse to believe.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mhammett:
Your previous messages didn't provide any indication that you understood what I was saying and the thread you linked to that I did read provided no additional information. You also only barely hint that you have any idea what I'm talking about in the message I just quoted.

Now that I've circled back and read the articles you linked to... the Verge didn't cover my point at all and Android Police said that Google wouldn't confirm what happened and that the changelog didn't mention the change. One of the Android Police articles mentioned that it said it was charging rapidly, but provided no evidence that it actually was charging slowly. Observation without facts to back it up.

Given how terrible phone reviews are, you have to forgive my disbelief of observation without evidence. Most phone reviews are more concerned about superficial things such as notches, face to glass ratios, etc. and not things that matter like storage IOPS, memory throughput, radio band support, radio performance, etc. They're fashion reviews, rarely technical reviews.

Also, Qi does go up to 15 watts, Google just chose to only support it at 5 watts.

So we're still lacking evidence.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
LOL what?

Your OP stated your 'old generic wireless charger' was charging the phone rapidly.

I replied that wasn't the case, as it was an error with what was being displayed on the phone.

Not sure how the Verge (and all the other blogs, a quick google search will show many) didnt cover your point at all, here is the title of the article: The Pixel 3 only supports fast wireless charging on Google-approved chargers.

Subtitle: Unless you’re using the Pixel Stand or another, Google-approved charger, you’re stuck at 5W.

None of the articles I linked were reviews, but were articles directly published about the OP.

Here is quotes from one of the AP articles:

Of course, at this point, there are no Google approved chargers, so that leaves ONLY the Pixel Stand to charge at 10w (rapidly).

These were all published a few days after the devices were in users hands, well before the November update which merely fixes the reporting.

Do you have any proof that yours was indeed charging rapidly other than what was displayed on the phone?

All the blogs state that the phones are charging slowly and yet displayed rapidly(and Google confirmed, then fixed). Are they all wrong?

Here is Googles reply to AP that specifically says phones are limited to 5w unless using Pixel Stand or an approved charger (of which none are available even today):
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mhammett:
Yeah, that doesn't cover it at all. What does? A screenshot of a battery information app before the update. That's all that's needed to confirm. I'm not willing to purchase a new Pixel 3 just to find out. No, I probably can't just downgrade as it may have included updated firmware that wouldn't be downgraded.

No, Google has not commented on the matter. The article said so specifically that Google would not comment, "We asked Google on numerous occasions if the "rapid" label was merely an oversight but never received a response. We've reached out again and will update if we have any additional information to share." No update.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mhammett:
It's a very simple thing. What is the observed amperage before the update? Nothing else is relevant until Google comments specifically on the change of message versus change of behavior situation.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
They chose not to comment about the question if it was intentional or not. NOT of what the actual usage is. They responded directly about the actual implementation. Couldn't be any more clear really. Please, keep things in order, they replied directly on October 23rd, your quote was from Nov. 5th, after the update.

Not sure why you choose to be so blind to the information presented. Why would all the blogs post articles that say its showing the incorrect information (and calling it a **** move by Google to boot), if it was showing the correct information?? IE: charging rapidly, if it were indeed charging rapidly? Makes zero sense.

Also, you were presented with screen shots of it charging prior to the update, but you seem to think they are invalid. In addition one of the articles quoted also cites a user who read it reading 500mA (when it should be much higher), but again you seem to ignore that. He reached out to a third party manuf. who states exactly what the blogs and everyone else (including Google) who seems to be involved that it is only charging at 5w. What do they have to gain by lying?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mhammett:
Do we know if the screenshots showing 500 ma were done without the update? That information wasn't portrayed in any of the posts.

The reason I keep going down this road is that it is a very real possibility and there has been no information to refute it yet. The information you keep quoting doesn't say what you think it says. Just because that's what Google intended to do with the platform doesn't mean that's what it did on RTM.

I don't know why you keep beating on the fact that all of these people say Qi is limited to 5 watts and Google DRM for 10 watts. It's only tangentially related to if they actually had that switch turned on in the RTM firmware or if it was a reporting error.

My quote from Android Central doesn't leave much to the imagination. Was it an oversight? The alternative was that it was broken. Either are certainly possible, but which is it?

I'm not ignoring any information in any of the pages you've linked to. They just don't say what you think they say. There is no lying, there's just a lack of information.

My quote on Android Police asking Google for clarification is from the November 5th article. That means as of November 5th, Google hadn't officially provided any information on the matter.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
YES. They are all posted on Oct. 23rd, well before the update was made available (Nov. 5th the update came out).

NO ONE has ever proven that it was actually charging rapidly wirelessly(yet there are a multitude of posts about it NOT charging rapidly), while it displayed charging rapidly, not even yourself, even anecdotally (prior to the update Nov. 5th) with a third party charger. Of course it does with the Pixel Stand.

Many articles however to the contrary were written that it displays charging rapidly, but in fact it isn't. ALL well in advance of the update being available.

All the articles say exactly the same thing, which is what you seem to be ignoring, for some reason. The phone indicated fast wireless charging, when in fact it wasn't charging rapidly. All well in advance of the update. You were shown screen shots here on XDA by users, one with both a third party charger as well as pixel stand that directly corroborates the assertion that while they reported fast charging, they weren't actually being charged rapidly. Many blogs then took up the article calling out Google for a ****ty business practice of crippling third party chargers to 5w (slow), but yet showing on the phone that it was rapidly charging. Your argument is the opposite of what everyone, including Google has reported on the subject. Even a third party engineer from Anker, who makes a ton of accessories for android phones says they were limited (again BEFORE the update was out).

Im sure that all the blogs writing about it, users posting about it here, and elsewhere across the internet are all lying. Even XDA says it, but Im sure you don't believe them either.

Hi,

I have a Hotmail account and wandering if there's any way to get my other folders to sync same as inbox? On the stock email app for my Mate 10 pro I can't even add the folders and Gmail lets me add them but can't get them to sync like inbox (have to manually refresh).

Sounds minor but bugs the hell out of me, there must be a way without using a 3rd party app?

Cheers in advance.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] djg269:
Use the Outlook app from the Playstore. It really uses push notifications and not "check every 30 minutes" or something like that.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] freedamdam:
Hi,

I have 3 hotmails accounts synchronized on the stock app of my mate 10 pro with multiple folders.

You can select the folders you want to synchronize in the stock app (sorry, my phone is set in French): go to the three dots at the bottom of the app - parameters - select your Hotmail account - folders synchronization

Here you can select by folders how you want to sync them.

Hope this helps

PS : automatic push (real time notification) is working without any issue on the stock app.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] cozins17:
Hi [MENTION=8034379]freedamdam[/MENTION], thanks for your reply.

I don't have that option, do you definitely use stock email app? I have the normal folder screen on left showing inbox, sent, drafts, recycle bin, etc best t not my personally created folders? The 3 dots takes me into settings but nothing in there re folders.

Also, when you set up your Hotmail did you select Hotmail or use Microsoft exchange or other? Not sure if makes difference? Just don't understand why you can't view your folders!

Thanks

Wayne
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] freedamdam:
Yes, I'm using stock app, no root or whatsoever, as I was also on my P9 with the exact same options for hotmail folders.

But I think you got it,m right, you have to setup your accounts as Microsoft exchange, not Hotmail, so as to get real time push and folders options I believe.

Let us know if this works.

Dam
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] cozins17:

Thnx for the tip. Added the account as an Exchange and there is the push option.

Not having any issues with my old Gear S2 classic. Actually works better than any of the Pixel XL's I've had.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Dameon87:
This is because the bootloader is unlocked. The Wearable app will not be available in the store if the bootloader is unlocked. You may be able to try stuff to hide that. (Perhaps like Magisk hide, and the like.)
