Bro not one's I've got the error... After I did the process... As far as I remember when the error used to occur I had to restart the device altogether.. Yeah download you're region kdz and lguppercut
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lamafist:
Seems I am late to the party because this happened to me also. Have you guys tried the solution below? Posted by someone who goes by the handle XGXGXGX over at Android Central

Same thing happened to me, the file size of the photo is too big. Did a hard reset and cleared phone cache and it didn't work.

The fix: Go to:

Settings

> Applications

>Press Menu Button (3 dots in the top right corner)

>Choose "Show System Apps"

>Always On Display

>Force Stop

> Clear Data

>Clear Cache

This worked for me. Got info from another forum with instruction to only clear Cache, but that didn't work, so I did all of the above instead and it worked. I have the T-Mobile version.

Obviously the G6 has Always-on display Provider and Always-on display apps you will have to drill into , stop, and clear cache.

I've tried it and I will report my findings...

Hi, I thought I will give you my experience, my device have been active sync for more than a month, suddenly it refused to sync any more, I've checked every\thing on my notebook, redownloaded the Activesyn, repaired no way, I've just surfed the net and found the cure for that bur I still wonder how did it happen suddenly, most of you knows that there are two ways of sync's either RNDIS Syn Mode or USB Serial Sync Mode, I found this usefull utility by MS to solve this problem just download to your pda, reset your device and open the application and choose USB mode Viola !!!

Happy Syncing !!!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Proto732:
I also had to use this solution when I got my TILT last year.

No matter what I did my TILT would not successfully connect to any of my PC's with ActiveSync. After changing the mode to "USB Serial Sync Mode" everything worked fine.

However ... a friend recently gave me a BlackJackII to play with, and again I could not get the device to connect at all via USB + Activesync. I plugged the phone into his computer and waaa laaa! Activesync worked perfectly.

Not sure why I have so much trouble connecting to devices via RNDIS. I've gone through all the troubleshooting ... firewall, antivirus, blah blah blah...

No luck. Is a cab with similar functionality for WM Standard? or if it just changes something in the Registry ... what is the Key?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] skhorchid:
Actually this can be used for all WM but you have to use the latest ActiveSyn from MS (V 4.5), this is the utility which can overcome this no need of a cab or so.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Proto732:
Actually all my machines do have ActiveSync 4.5 build 5096,

and of course I tried to install the cab on the BlackJackII before I even posted ... but I get the message

So it doesn't work for WM Standard ... at least on a BlackJackII
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GuySparkz:
anyone know how to setup windows firewall to sync with my tilt with vista?

Anyone who uses "vista firewall" in the forum search soon will.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] cancunia:
I've posted on a couple of other related threads about this but thought a fresh thread directly asking the question might help.

I have a UK G5 bought recently secondhand, it was on VM but is now unlocked and works fine on the Three SIM I've tested it on. It's been upgraded OTA by the previous owner to Oreo.

So, what's needed to make it work with WiFi calling on Three UK, or for that matter EE? I've tried the Oreo Three RoM & the Oreo Open EU RoM. I enabled WiFi calling via ADB, but no matter what I try, no menu appears giving the option to activate or use WiFi calling. There's also a setting in the 'Hidden Menu' to toggle WiFi calling but that made no difference either.

Both of the non-VM RoMs complain about being used on the wrong carrier's phone, I know that can be fixed by removing some files in root, but what this tells me is that there are files or settings on the phone that don't get erased with a factory reset. Is it possible to get these files or settings from a Three UK G5 and put them onto another G5?

I did read on another thread that someone had got an ex EE phone working with WiFi calling on a Three SIM, that was with a Nougat RoM. I'm not too sure about trying this as I've seen a couple of stories about bricking due to flashing a lower numbered Anti Rollback RoM.

Any thoughts welcome.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] cancunia:
I've loaded a Three UK Nougat RoM and can see that all of the VoWiFi settings via ADB & the hidden menu are on but cannot see any VoWiFI menus. My phone is on Three UK, I'm not sure if there's a menu item for WiFi calling though..

I found a couple of pointers relating to OREO:

I've had some success in enabling WiFi calling on my G5 H850, after getting some ideas from reading these threads and thought I'd share some info, maybe there's a better way of doing this, if so, am happy to learn:

1, about the misc partition

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/how-to-change-region-t2904951/page8

2, misc partition location on the G5

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/help/little-help-misc-partition-h850-t3671068

My phone was originally sold by Virgin Media in the UK, my SIM contract is with Three.

I changed a couple of settings in the misc partition to make my phone think it was from Three.

I take no responsibility for anything that happens if anyone tries this themselves!

1, Unlock the bootloader to gain root access

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/development/official-european-lg-g5-h850-bootloader-t3363040

2, Get a copy of the misc partition via DD (see first & second links above)

3, Make a copy of the copy, name one of them 'master' and put them in a safe place

4, Edit the second copy via a Hex Editor

At location 00014000 you will find the phone's MCC & MNC, I changed mine to 23420 (UK H3G)

At location 000D7000 you will find the Buyer Code, I changed mine to H3G_UK

5, Save the updated misc partition & copy it to the phone's internal storage. The thread that I linked at the top, shows the misc partition being saved to the 'sdcard' which on my phone turned out to be the internal storage.

6, Overwrite the phone's misc partition with the updated misc partition with DD.

7, Lock the bootloader

8, Using LGUP, flash the official Three UK OREO ROM to the phone

9, Start the phone, chances are it will not start properly due to some stuff left over from unlocking, if so you need to boot into recovery and reset to defaults

10, After going through the initial setup, check the dialler app settings and see if the WiFi calling option is there.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] el-sahef:
Does anyone know the correct NTCODE and BUYERCODE to brand an unbranded H850 to Vodafone Germany? I want to try the branded firmware because it supports VoLTE and VoWifi out of the box. I followed the instructions in the previous post but it does not work. The original NTCODE and BUYERCODE are "1","FFF,FFF,FFFFFFFF,FFFFFFFF,11" and OPEN_EU. I changed these to "1","262,02F,FFFFFFFF,FFFFFFFF,FF" and VDF_COM , flashed back the misc partition and after that I flashed the vodafone KDZ. Factory reset was also done but it still does not load the branding in the VDF_COM folder on the cust partition. The software version is reported as V30f_EUR_XX instead of V30f_VDF_COM. Is there something else I have to do? A Vodafone SIM card with MCC 262 and MNC 02 is inserted.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] cancunia:
I'm not sure why your patching did not work, but I have turned off WiFI calling on my G5 because the call quality over WiFi is terrible. It may be that I did not find all of the changes that are needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] nuclearrage:
Finally, dbrand (our most beloved robots) are taking preorders for the grip case for the Note 9! I have estimated shipping date of February, I am soooooo excited!! I had a grip case for my note 8 and was the best case ever, took quite alot of abuse and worked like a champ. Can't wait for this one to arrive .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Nice, does this case have a back on it or is it just a bumper like the Note 8 one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
It looks like a thin TPU case, if I recall correctly it used to not have a back like you say so you can still use your skin of choice and was moreso like a bumper but a thick bumper with some snazzy D30 rubber on the corners for drops. I don't see D30 mentioned anywhere on the website, did they scrap it all together? IMO this new case looks kinda cheap...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Oh man.. if only they could do this. I've literally found nobody else besides RhinoShield that does a bumper-only case for the Note 9. I bought that case TWICE and sent it back twice after giving it a second chance. Their buttons on their cases are AWFUL. So hard to register a click. And they are barely raised.

Which makes this Dbrand case a bit worrisome to me. They look flush with the sides of the case. I wonder how "clicky" they are. Spigen has the best buttons, IMO.

If anyone finds any indication that Drband will give us this case as a bumper-only option, please let us know. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Just went and looked at it. Interesting, think I'll order one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Still not sure if this is just a bumper or a complete case with different stick on backs?

Anyone know?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Kinda hard to tell from the photo but if it's just a bumper I will have a small crisis from the excitement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Just emailed them and will see what they say.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Just heard back from Dbrand and this is a full case and not just a bumper.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
I'm gonna wait until this is out of pre-order stage because I'm a bit anal and I need to know exactly when my purchases will ship. But one thing I noticed that I'm kinda disappointed about is that the curved design of the front of the case doesn't look the same as what is promoted. Is that curved thing only for other cases and not for our Note 9 or are the photos just not clear enough?

Also, with the way the back of the case is designed, does it mean we can swap out skins at will or is the skin we choose at checkout permanently attached to the back of the case?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
The note 9 has been out 5-6 months now and they are this late getting this case to market, What Gives?

Just ordered one with one extra back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
One extra back?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Color sticker for the back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
This is what I ordered.

Wonder if the different color backs are reusable?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
I emailed Dbrand about this but haven't heard back yet. Has anyone got any idea about this? Is our Note 9 case going to have the curved design like in the image above?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
The Note 10 will be out before this case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Anyone place an order for this case yet? Dbrand website still shows "February" shipping but no specific date. If anyone here has placed an order do you have some shipping info? How long before you get it? Any reviews online on this case yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I placed an order a couple of weeks ago and still have no shipping or tracking information. Let me go login to their site and see if there are any updates.

Just checked my order and it only says Pre-Order, ships February, nothing new. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Just got an email from them. They said orders will ship "Mid-February". These people really need to stop promoting products they cannot ship within a week or two. When did they start promoting this new Grip case? Several weeks ago? And they're still not available. Are the pre orders their desperate attempt to pay bills? And Dbrand isn't the only one guilty of doing this.

No further images on this case to help us get a better idea of what it will look like, no further videos, hell, they haven't even sent out any Grip cases to influences so we can see some YouTube reviews on it. What gives?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Yea, this plain sucks. They probably needed our money upfront to have the cases produced in China. The Note 10 will be out before this Note 9 case makes it to market.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
It's worse for the 6T. I think it's showing April for shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Half Man Half Biscuit:
I agree with you guys here... No updates, no images, no nothing!

After all the hype around the grip cases, did you guys notice how they literally went dead silent on Twitter?!

F*** they where posting s*** tons everyday, most of it was some random robotic bs imho but they where active. Now after announcing the grip DEAD SILENCE...

Seems kinda sketchy tbh, I don't like stuff like that.

Plus in all honesty, I've tried many different skins from various companies and honestly more or less same s***! People just hype up a company like others didn't make exact same quality skins, good i'd say 2 even better (my opinion ofc)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] mweinbach:
As someone with direct communication with dbrand, its fine. They are just working very hard on getting the cases out. I was told they should be shipping very very soon. Within the next 2 weeks. The lack of images and such are just because they are busying packing boxes for shipments.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
I would love to know if they've attempted to deliver some of their initially completed manufactured cases out to YouTube influencers like Flossy Carter? I would imagine using them to help further hype and promote these cases would do Dbrand great service, no? Along with satisfying its current and potential customers by giving them a better look at what they look like and how they slip on and off?

I mean... If they did that wouldn't it also help secure more pre orders? As it stands, I can't do a pre order on something like this because it still feels like I'm flying a bit blind.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
The mfgs get the specs/dimensions of a phone before it actually goes to market, or, at minimum, have an opportunity to do so. Having this much lagtime after the phone has been available is a real WTH....

It would make sense to get production rolling to time it better/closer to release vs months later, when most people have already bought a case.

Not to beat up on D-Brand, but seriously, the phone has been out 4-5 months already.......

Brand names mean little most of the time, a lot of what you see on the market is the same exact case from one or two mfgs w/slight cosmetic differences, as simple as a logo or texture insert into the mold from which it's made.

I suspect the same thing with this case, I've seen pix similar to it already. If it were me, I'd look around for the doppelganger & get it, especially if it's already available & less expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
They must think that their name is all it takes for customers to blindly buy their products. TCFO.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Half Man Half Biscuit:
When you think about something, I don't care if you are making/packing boxes or not... This isn't how you do business!

You hype up something for pre-order and next day you're dead silent for a whole month. Next time there will be no next time lol... After this bs I'll spend my muneeey (McGregor voice) somewhere else.

Plus nobody can tell me that utter bs that you're preparing the packages and that's the reason for you not uploading images, videos or communicating with your customers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
They are not packing any boxes. This POS is still over in China trying to be manufactured.

I'm guessing it's been a complete fail so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Ofc it's that!

I just wanted to be nice because I got warned in the past for my language use :(

Those guys are cocky as hell, we all know that, so if it would go according to plan they would literally hype the **** out of the release date to get more sell in. This time they had barely any marketing except maybe 2 days? That's not how you market to sell more if you're confident in the thing.

Just ofc my opinion, IF YOU DON'T AGREE don't bother replying ?

(ofc jk)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Who warned you about your language? XDA?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Half Man Half Biscuit:
It's a long story... Yea on XDA!

A year ago I had some serious arguments privately with 2 mods till a super mod came and told them to stfu both, both where abusing there mod powers plus being extremely cocky. I didn't let that sit on me and that's where the whole drama started ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
So much for the Note 9 Grip case.

Today's email from Dbrand:

We received the bulk shipment of Grip Cases early last week and, during our detailed quality spot checks, found that a number of units for select devices suffered a manufacturing defect called “flash”. Flash is the term used for excess material on an injection molded product (like our Grip Case), caused by misaligned parts in the production tool. For a more detailed explanation, you can check out this Wikipedia article on flash.

Once we observed the consistent issue in our spot checks, we performed a full audit on the recently arrived inventory. Unfortunately, we found that flash was present across all units of select smartphone models. Below are a couple of photos to help visualize what “flash” looks like. Higher resolution photos are available here.

While this manufacturing flaw is strictly aesthetic, it’s a quality issue we’re unwilling to accept. Customers like you - ones who have supported us since 2011 - remain loyal because we’re uncompromising on the precision, detail, and integrity of our products. The Grip Case is no exception.

>From our end, the next steps are simple: we’re manufacturing all affected units again, from scratch. In terms of timing, this means your order is now expected to ship in March, rather than February.

The decision to double our manufacturing cost was easy - it was the outcome of delayed shipments that makes this process so disheartening. At the end of the day, our focus is on ensuring you are delivered both a world-class product and superior customer experience. Once you receive the Grip Case, we’re confident you’ll agree that it is the absolute pinnacle in phone cases.

So where’s the good news in all this? The very first question raised in our internal meetings about this delay was, “How are we going to make this right with our customers?” It needed to be something with instant gratification. Something with practical value. Something you could enjoy. The answer was simple: give out Amazon Gift Cards. More specifically, give out one million dollars in Amazon Gift Cards.

Your order is eligible for a $10.00 USD (or USD equivalent) Amazon Gift Card ($10 for each delayed Grip Case in your order).

To celebrate your newfound wealth, we went ahead and scoured Amazon to find some products that you’d probably never buy unless it was with free money:

The 2 pics from the email.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] mtsingson:
Just read an email from dbrand. Shipments have been moved from February to April due to a "Flash" defect on their cases when it arrived. They are offering a $10 refund as compensation for the delay
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
That sucks having to wait even longer, but it's a good move on their part regarding the Amazon gift card. I'm sure to simply offer refunds they'll loose loyal customers and to give the product to those who pre-ordered them for free they'd loose either [MENTION=237736]SS[/MENTION] even more than they probably already are with doubling manufacturing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Ehhhh "It's fine"!

"As someone with direct communication with dbrand"

- Shows how much of a f*** they give about there customers, they plainly lied to you about the whole thing!

Never ever trust companies, I know they seem super cool insulting everyone and everything, new marketing. Lots of HYPE etc etc... But at the end of the day we all are just sheeps to them that they take money from. Simple as that...

Ohhh and every phone is different, how come they all have the same issue? Means nobody is over watching s***, they placed the orders and CHINA once again f***** up doing a proper job. "Made in China ?? "

That also means those new Grips will be ****, which also means it isn't a FLASH issue, maybe a few of them yeaaa, they probably couldn't make them on time. They knew that from day 1,that's why they went silent for over a month!

Normally they're loud as hell putting everyone down (competition), hyping it up etc... This time 1 month dead silence and then to have the respect to lie how you're preparing boxes for the shipment.

Lets continue...

They got them in last week, why the f*** did you wait so long/till a Saturday 5 30pm to let people know, again shows it's a HUGE lie.

Dbrand can't live up even close to its own hype, time to get my refund and **** those stupid 10$ and funny things I could buy...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
The real story behind this cosmetic defect is definitely an injection mold issue, but, as with anything, they likely got what they paid for.

Guessing they took a gamble & tried to go into production with a preliminary (prototype) mold, which is relatively inexpensive to build, but, even if they make good parts (cases), they're not going to last long enough before you start seeing the 1st signs of wear, which is usually the "flash".

I wouldn't be surprised if they try to re-work the cases that exist (trim the excess plastic) & send 'em out.

Nothing inherently wrong with that, provided the end product looks/functions as designed.

This is what happens when you pick the cheapest bid for a project & have no oversight until deadlines are missed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Yup. And I still think the price for the case is too much. Spigen prices their cases well enough (through Amazon) and they offer outstanding protection and/or slim cases. Who are they using to manufacture their cases? Maybe Dbrand should ask.

I'd be more upset by this if this was a bumper-only design but it's not. It's pretty much another run of the mill case that's offering nothing new and unique except for the fact that you can use their skins on the back of the case.

I somehow thought that Dbrand was a legit company, not a startup? Not a company who was recently begging for funds for a startup a project. I thought they were established by now. That they could run themselves professionally and advertise products that they could ship right away or within a couple of weeks of announcing new products?

What's gone wrong with the way this company is being run? I would love to know who's to blame for this mess. A 10$ gift card? They're going to have to do a hell of a lot more to regain our confidence before many of us buy another product from them again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Where's my $10.00 Amazon card?

dBrand emailed me the $10.00 code today.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Now I wait until the middle of March for another failure.
