You can have headset jack and still use inferior wireless earbuds if you wish. Your choice. But you know that no wireless earbuds are going to compare to headset jack with LG's quad DAC, but it's your choice. Bluetooth has been in Android phones for year.

I'm not meaning to criticize you but it seems your entire post is justifying giving up features for no reason at all: headset jack, IP68 dust/water resistance, Qi wireless charging, 1440p QHD. (Why would you want to buy a "replacement" phone for your 1440p QHD Droid Turbo and downgrade the resolution?) I wanted a phone as good as or better than the Moto Quarks I was replacing. In fact, I count SEVEN features listed above that OnePlus 6T does NOT have, including 4 features the Droid Turbo has. I have a premium phone with smooth performance AND those features. "Never settle." ;) Yes, it's a matter of choice.

24 hours after I ordered, they drop the price by $20. Now $379 for new in box with 2-year warranty. ARghh. But

Android Authority

is touting this price reduction, so I"m afraid if I cancel and try to re-order they will suddenly be out of stock or something!

I'll try to get a $20 refund when I pick up the phone at the store...

Hey Guys, just a short video, one of the many reasons I think the OnePlus 6T is a cool phone to own:

OnePlus 6T just got BETTER after enabling this SECRET Feature

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jrmt077:
Guys I think this is a great short comparison of OnePlus 6T and Pixel 3 for those still up in the air. Two of the most highly reviewed phones for 2018 that are Verizon certified.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI463-oViDE

On on hand you have a high performance pure android experience device at a very competitive price - on the other you have the whole enchilada - a flagship phone with IP rating, wireless Qi, pure android & a camera that has been dubbed the king of cameras for 2018 - so its all about choice - spoiler alert the Pixel 3 wins the top honors!

Oh and for those still holding on to that extra hole in their phone :) dont forget 2018 will most likely be the last year that flagship phone will retain it, so the S / Note 9 and V40 are excellent choices on Verizon.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] cmrntnnr:
Ha ;), that is because the v30 is a really great piece of hardware. Its virtues should be extolled!

Let me try to be objective since there are a few minor downsides or irritations due to LG being a second tier phone manufacturer.

1) There are a large number of v30 submodels. It would be interesting to see a list of them all to have a count. I suspect it must approach a dozen and perhaps is more than for any other phone model. I don't have time to do this and it doesn't really matter. My guess is that it was done to placate demands of regional carriers so that LG could get the phone distributed more widely. LG doesn't have the weight of google or apple to push back.

2) The diversity of submodels complicates development for everyone.

-For the aosp rom and similar developers, no two models are the same. The differences are not fully understood either. Some models are more alike in that cross-flashing of roms works but with minor leftovers.

- It is disorienting for those who want a rooted phone and to safely play use other roms to figure out where to start. Thankfully, there is a great guide by [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] that makes the rooting process easy.

- LG has to devote resources to manage the complexity. I believe this complexity partly explains why LG is slow to deliver software updates if at all and also why LG is behind the android pack today and not current in its rom version.

3) The firmwares limit which bands are availble even in the open market models, see 1 above. Security or plain lack of information prevents all of them being active at the same time. Sprint bands, t-mobile bands, verizon bands etc. It really would have been awesome if the v30 had all of the bands in the v35. It would have been Fi compatible and a real "world phone". This is one place where the v35, google, and apple phones win again.

None of those irritations out weigh the tremendous features, great implementation of oreo 8.0, active developer community, and the huge level of value.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jrmt077:
One more I wanted to share because this guy sums up the pros and cons of living with OnePlus 6T perfectly. Is it the perfect phone? DEFINITELY NOT Is it a great phone to own? You Guys decide - its all about choice! Happy Holidays!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKHO0vsVZUE
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
1080 Pixel 3? Pixel 3 XL is better as it has 1440p QHD, like the 2014 Droid Turbo. Why are you handicapping your "upgrade" phone? 1080p is a "mid tier" spec, not top tier.

If you are only comparing those two (Pixel 3 XL vs OnePlus 6T), then obviously Pixel 3 XL is better the pretender OnePlus 6T.

It at least has some premium features like Qi wireless charging (added back because Google realized they were stupid for dropping it in the first place).

Pixel 3 has 1440p QHD -- just like ALL premium flagship phones have had since 2014. (Samsung, Motorola, Sony, LG, HTC, Google, etc.)

Pixel 3 has a high IP rating, which ALL premium phones have had for a couple of years now. OnePlus has no IP rating whatsoever.

However, Google dropped headset jack for no reason -- other than Apple did it. Google ADDED back Qi wireless for no other reason than Apple did it. Even the "notch" is asinine Apple feature, which is not necessary on Android (for technical reasons I won't go into here). Google used to have microSD card -- look it up -- and I understand why they don't do microSD card, it's their idiosyncrasy but they are mostly becoming an Apple copycat in a world where Android has 86% market share. It should be the other way around -- and it used to be with Nexus phones.

I will have no respect for OnePlus trash until they have 1440p QHD and Qi wireless charging. Basically until they become a REAL PREMIUM phone. WHY SHOULD I DOWNGRADE?

I hate OnePlus almost as much as Apple. I still remember when OnePlus

shipped their "flagship" phone without NFC

. Their excuses about that were pathetic, and their fanbois accepting such an omission/downgrade even more so. Their problem is their parent company Oppo won't let them have REAL PREMIUM features, because no Oppo phone has real premium features... OnePlus (One Plus One, their first phone was a play on the name "OPPO") is not an independent company, they are a subsidiary of Oppo. Oppo won't let any OnePlus phone have 1440p or Qi wireless when no Oppo phone has 1440p, etc. But rather than ADMIT that ("we can't because our parent company won't let us"), OnePlus CEO makes excuses which are LIES.

But if you are comparing pricing and features, 2017 LG V30 (CERTIFIED on Verizon!) still wins or even 2018 V35 (Snapdragon 845, etc). OnePlus isn't even close. Pixel 3 XL would be better than OnePlus, but you would still be leaving off features for no reason -- headset jack, Quad DAC, microSD card expansion slot, and adding stupid notch.

Hey Guys here is a great review of the LG V40 a definite 2018 flagship. I think the reviewer is dead on with the improvements for V40, especially the display issues that plagued LG in 2017 are now resolved. Its a great choice for all you corded headphone guys. Sprint just slashed their 24 month deal by 50%, here is hoping Verizon will follow suite before Christmas.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawyeradam:
Hello all,

I've been using SVR Pro for several years on my S6 Edge. I recently got a LG V30+ and I'm having problems with my old trusty app. When the screen turns off the video recording quits. The Audio keeps recording. It's running Oreo. I'm wondering if anyone has some ideas? I've tried making both app and camera exceptions in battery saving exclusions, but that didn't work. Also, I've installed some other similar programs from the PlayStore and they all seem to do the same thing. Thanks for any and all help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawyeradam:
I think I've found the answer to this issue... Seems that in "Pie" Android has implemented measures that stop the camera from working when the screen is off. I have Oreo, but the article says it's showing up in Oreo, too.

https://www.xda-developers.com/android-p-background-apps-camera/

Now we need to fix it! Anyone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronitkk:
What the above article says can only be partly correct. I have two Vivo phones running on Pie. Secret video recorders work fine on one but keep closing on another after 3,4 minutes. So,it could be something else. Need a solution for this asap. Anyone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evonition:
No solution yet? Anything we can do to bypass this Pie's security?
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] AesopRock127:
I know I'm not the only one who has been having trouble finding the stock firmware for the Moto e5 play xt1921-3 MetroPCS/TMobile variant, code named James, that wasn't posted by [MENTION=7383447]MotoJunkie01[/MENTION] and therefore blocked and undownloadable.

So thanks to [MENTION=7368668]HPLazerJetPrinter1012[/MENTION] who was kind enough to find it on XDA in another section and thanks to [MENTION=7375451]timjames474[/MENTION] for posting it in that thread....

VERY IMPORTANT IMHO THAT YOU BACKUP YOUR IMEI INFORMATION AS SOON AS YOU ROOT YOUR DEVICE, PREFERABLY BEFORE FLASHING A CUSTOM ROM. GOING FROM CUSTOM OREO BACK TO STOCK CAN EASILY ERASE ALL YOUR PHONES IMEI INFO MAKING VOLTE AND 4G AND PHONE

INOPERABLE

. HAPPENED TO ME AND IT WAS A HUGE P.I.T.A. TO FIX.

Download Links

JAMES_T_OCP27.91-51-4_cid21_subsidy-TMO_RSU_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip / MIRROR

This is the newest (at least at the time of post) update, dated Oct 1, 2018

Instructions to revert back to stock firmware and make it so that you can get OTA updates again:

To install, extract the zip file in your adb/fastboot directory and then make sure you are properly connected to your computer by running the command

fastboot devices

Then, once you confirm you are properly connected, just run the following fastboot commands one line at a time, making sure spelling is correct (or copying and pasting to ensure proper spelling):

fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

After this is complete, simply reboot your device, and as long as you did everything right, you should be back on stock firmware with the ability to receive OTA updates.

Flashing a stock recovery,unencrypting your phone, or rooting will make OTA fail, so i recommend waiting to do those things until you are fully updated (unless you don't care about the latest build).

Just to cover my ass, i had nothing to do with the making of these files and I am simply posting well known information for newer users to help them get back to stock.

Therefore, i claim no responsibility for any damage or bricking of your device.

Have a good day friends and if I helped you out, a 'thanks' would be appreciated :D:good:

I had some issues as well. First I had rooted and installed TWRP and Magisk and was going to try a different ROM. The one I chose was not something I followed very well ... it wasn't TWRP type. I tried to install TWRP backup but couldn't get back to TWRP. I followed this guide but somehow my phone went from E5-Play to a E4....weird. I used Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant to download most current firmware and then followed this guide. Phone is back but still have a bad key message but phone does boot up.

With Swift you can modify only quick settings transparency. For notifications you can choose white or black. So probably it s your setup in notifications settings. Or you used good lock some time.

Edit: solved on the official telegram group, the status bar is like that for choice (it can be see in dark and bright app if they don't allow color change)

The problem on the look screen notification is caused by the way they used to make rounded corner. With the default one it return normal.
