Yeah I agree, I don't need the SnapVue. As a 3G enabled laptop it is still probably the best out there. I guess it needs the Snapvue side running for the 3g connection though? If not I'd be happier without it - most people have a phone that will do all that snapvue will do and more so why bother?
[Shift General] herpi:
Exactly.

WE have enough other problems with disappearing SD cards, switching off WIFI and unable to shutdown properly.

I bought this ehhh... thing for use while travelling = not always juice available.

well I have to say, my leak issue is solved ... it was caused by beta rom :P
[Shift General] alex1690:
Hi to all forum! i'm still have problem of battery drain on my italian Shift: i've try different rom but still -2% battery every hour.

What rom, without this problem, can you suggest me?

Many thanks!!
[Shift General] mysoundistada:
I have this problem too. With factory's WM ROM, enabled flight mode and switched off Windows 7 my Shift eats battery at 1-2 days. It should be not so bad, but low voltage state is very bad for Li-Ion batteries.
[Shift General] alex1690:
In this days i've made some test: seem that some ROM turn on GPS and leave it on also when snapvue turn off. Now i've flashed with ROMEO Rom WM6.0 and battery descrease -10% in one day (all Shift OFF).... better than before! :)

Before turn off snapvue i open gpsrouter and i close gps port (turn off gps) and then turn off via snapvue button.

Someone have this kind of experience?

Sorry for my english :D
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] drhdez:
Hi guys! Here is an frustrated guy requesting help and guidance:

I have a Vivo Nex S Global Version which I bought two months ago. All of the sudden today it shut down by itself. Upon restarting it got stuck on the starting up screen showing the NEX logo for two minutes and restarting again. It keeps doing that on a loop. I tried some of the recommendations on the web; Hard reset, wipe data, system restore, system repair and it keeps doing the same thing. Any advice will be welcome.

Jay.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Abby 244:
Take it to a Vivo store , but do backup your data as they will wipe the whole mobile software .
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] drhdez:
I cannot. I bought it from eBay in North America. Any other ideas?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Abby 244:
Then you my friend have a brick in your hand. Because Vivo doesn't provide source code.

Hard to read, but I guess I would have to live with it. Thanks for the feedback.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Why not try contact seller and talk to him maybe can help you by sending the device and forward to the Vivo service center and when it's done re ship the device back to you.

You don't have any other choice unless you can search for experience third-party service and if you are lucky enough could restore the phone and fix the damage.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Twotems:
I don't have a solution. But did you do anything to the phone software or hardware wise?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] CapraSebi:
Take it to any kind of phone repair/service shop, they should be able to help
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Abby 244:
If you have friends or relatives in China or India you can send mobile to them and they can take it to VIVO service center.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] papamalo:
Suddenly my LG V30 stopped being able to be used "hands free" with my voice only after painstaking days getting it just right.

"Ok Google" Or Hey Google" will no longer do the following.

- Read my texts: Now it just says "there aren't any new messages" regardless of if there are new messages or not.

- "Ok Google" will NOT, (this was important for me) bypass the lock screen.

This means that while I am driving, none of the functionality that had me purchase this phone to begin with are still working.

Whatever the case may be, this was all working a couple of weeks ago.

Any ideas to solve this?

Thanks.

Note:

I am using the latest version of textra, and also Nova Launcher.

Variant: LGH932 Unrooted, using stock firmware.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
What updates do you want to roll back -- apps or stock firmware?

You can flash older versions of stock firmware via LGUP.

You can uninstall apps and reinstall older version from APK Mirror or similar site.

For user apps, you can always choose "uninstall updates". You would want to UNcheck auto update in Google Play for those apps.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Hmmm.. mine will no longer unlock the phone either. However it does let me use OK Google while locked. lf I ask OK Google how to unlock the phone the display says read the instructions provided. ;) However, the settings the instructions show no longer apply to my phone. There is no longer a setting to unlock the phone with voice.

https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/7394306#turn_on?ctx=assistant_answer

Instead it's almost like a Pixel 3... It plainly says Pixel 3 will not let you unlock the phone with your voice. I'm running a magisk module that has some Pixel 3 settings. I wonder if that's the issue? Are you running any Magisk modules?

[MENTION=5377398]TotallyAnxious[/MENTION], any ideas?

No I am running a LGH932 Unrooted, using stock firmware, no modules, all plain and boring. but it worked until recently.

Pardon my dumbness, but would rooting magically make some of these prob;ems disappear?

Thanks! (It's been 3 years since I rooted a phone)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No. My phone is rooted, running stock firmware. Something has changed recently. Don't know what.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] papamalo:
Getting the same reports from Reddit LG V30, and Androidforums forums.

Apparently Google discontinued the "Unlock using voice" functionality, and while some people (Like me) say they can see the option in "voice match-unlock with voice match" toggle switch, that the functionality itself is now gone.

This probably happened with the most recent update, and now what I feared and dreaded, has come to pass and that is that I must root this phone and back-patch the software. Both things I haven't done in years.

Lord have mercy on my soul.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Thankfully, ChazzMatt's instructions are EXCELLENT. Just be sure to read them carefully and then perform the process. It's a LONG post, but that's because it's thorough.

I don't think it will fix this issue, but if it does do let us know. Or if you figure out how to fix it another way... I'm guessing it's a Google update...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] papamalo:
This begs the question:

Having immigrated from my beloved Motorola Moto X Pure (Had Moto voice controls, and did everything I wanted it to hands free, RIP Motorola under Google) to this great phone, (LG V30, which I researched before buying, and then tooled and manipulated so it could be the hands-free, voice controlled equivalent of my Moto X pure), which phone would best serve my Midrange, 4+GB RAM, all-voice controlled requirements? I mean I bought the phone for specifically this functionality, and now it's gone.

I think am ready to get another phone.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You don't have to root to go back to earlier firmware. To root our phones, we have to temporarily go back to earlier firmware BEFORE we can unlock bootloader and root.

You can revert back to Nougat right now if you want, with unrooted phone.

If you find the version of firmware you want to keep, then you will need some way disabling the OTA process from trying to update you. But let's take one step at a time.

I'm curious when this happened, what version of firmware? Or is Nova app which lost that functionality?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
1) Yes, this phone is an excellent replacement for the Motorola phones like Moto X Pure, Droid Turbo, Moto Maxx, Moto Turbo. I had the international version of the Droid Turbo for 3 years, which is why I researched and bought the V30. It's the premium flagship phone Motorola should have released instead of the stupid mods phones.

2) If this is something Google is forcing, with updated firmware/security requirements, wouldn't all phones be affected? If it's something related to only Nova settings (I don't think so) then we can revert Nova and not update.

If it's really, really important to you, then revert back to earlier firmware and earlier Nova.

Or some dev can figure out how to bring that feature back via Magisk mod or something.

Just buying another phone won't do the trick, unless you are proposing to go back to 2013/2014 phones -- which no longer receive updates...

Google begins replacing full 'Voice Match' phone unlock

https://9to5google.com/2019/02/28/google-replacing-voice-match-unlock/

Read the article and comments at the bottom. People are figuring out how to revert this. Maybe installing every Google Assistant app then preventing updates?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] papamalo:
Good thing google knows what's better for me than I do myself. "ultimately for the better"

The audacity of the language.

OK. I am following your lead Chazzmatt. Later today I am going to root, revert to earlier firmware and nova, and turn off automatic updates.

First I'll get all version information and share it with you.

Thanks for the support.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] papamalo:
And here might be another solution.

My issue with the lack of hands-free use is basically centered around my driving, and tasks I have to do at work while on the road.

I am considering getting my favorite old phone a motorola moto x pure,, and the cheapest carrier program I can find, and just using that for when I drive, after making sure they still have Moto voice functionality, and that I can revert to older firmware, nova and google versions. It would only cost around $150, and I'd just use it as a car phone mounted.

What do you think chazzmatt? Would that be easier than doing all this with my LG V30?

THanks.

PM
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I just realized, my V30 on stock, rooted VS996 20i is responding to hands free voice commands via "OK Google" and "Hey Google". Note, we also have a Google Home Mini in the house, so that responds too... but the phone lights up and wakes up at the same time. (What's weird is that the phone says "cannot reach google at the moment" while the Mini works as we need it to, to turn lights on/off, etc... not sure what that's about). But, regardless, the phone wakes with the command word... is that what you say you're missing?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] papamalo:
Close but not quite.

What happened is that the lock screen (the screen that asks for a 4 to 5-digit pin number, or gesture to unlock the phone) no longer unlocks using the "OK google" or Hey google" command.

this means that while I drive, I can no longer have the safety of "hands free" use while driving.

Thanks!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Yeah, as I said, that IS working for me on VS99620i, rooted. I have no special modules/tweaks. If there's something I can look for, let me know. Again, I do have Google Home installed, so maybe that's what's helping it work, I don't know, but I'm happy to dig deeper.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TotallyAnxious:
You'll never get that back. Google changed the feature. The Google play store forces play services updates.

It's gone.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] papamalo:
Or really........

I have $20 on me getting it done by whatever means necessary. I will root, hack, revert, and block update my way to victory. I might even rip the phone open and pour hot chili sauce into it's CPU. I am getting that S**T back.

lol
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I believe you're right. I just tried to roll back versions and it temporarily showed that voice unlock option, then it disappeared with a pop-up notice.

I then restored previous version again from Titanium Backup and blocked Google Play from updating without my permission, but the option never showed again even temporarily.

What I have not yet done, and probably useless, is restore TWRP backup...

Hey guys, I have a pretty simple question but cant seem to find the answer, I have a S4 Mini SGH-1257M and been searching all over the web to upgrade it to Oreo and I've noticed that all the custom roms are for every other model of the S4 Mini except mine! (So random but behind the back cover etched into the plastic is "G19195" does this mean its actually a GT model? Or is the plastic just the same or something?

I was wondering if this means that I am indeed stuck forever on Kit Kat or if there is anything at all better I can upgrade to because Kit Kat is way waaay to old to be using in 2019

I was also thinking of just trying to use a GT-19195 or something but makes me feel uneasy since mine isn't that version technically, what would the risk be for trying that?

Thanks for the help :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nhamg:
Hi,

been breaking my head about this strange problem for days now.:crying:

Device: G8441

State of device before incident: Bootloader locked, Developer Options off, all stock/Playstore. Aka off the shelf.

What happened: Went into bootloop (black Sony on white background) after device ran short of internal storage while attempting to install an app from the Playstore (it went into pending and gave me a storage warning). Upon then the device became laggy, so I rebooted. Phone never came back to life. I took many photos that day, and upon getting a storage warning earlier I had changed the camera save location to SD. The battery was at about 30%.

When it happened: 17/02/2019, at that point I am pretty sure I was up-to-date with OTA updates.

With the bootlooping phone I am able to connect Flashmode (green LED) and Fastboot mode (blue LED).

I could get the following info from Fastboot:

What has been done so far: By now I have tried to flash almost a dozen different firmware FTF's obtained from Xperifirm, first trying Flashtool by [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION] and later Newflasher by [MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION]. I always excluded userdata.sin and most of the .ta files. The flashes seem to work fine as they finish normally and throw no error. But there has been never been a change to the bootloop whatsoever at all at any point.

Only in Flashtool I get some blue warnings about packages excluded from flash.

Strange: Fastboot keeps reading the baseband version as "(bootloader) version-baseband:1307-7511_47.2.A.6.30". However, Xperia Companion identifies it as "47.2.A.8.24-R3C".

It doesn't seem to matter which firmware version I try to flash, fastboot will always identify it as "47.2.A.6.30".

Only with the bootloader version I identified changes between "version-bootloader:1306-5035_X_Boot_MSM8998_LA2.0_P_107" and "(bootloader) version-bootloader:1306-5035_X_Boot_MSM8998_LA1.1_O_77".

I noticed that when plugged into the charger, the phone will attempt boot and go into bootloop. It won't show the Charging screen.

Goal: Get it to boot Android again, into any kind of firmware, to save the tons of non-backuped photos, and only then do a factory reset/Xperia Software Repair...

Question: What else can I try? Is the problem that my internal storage is full, and it is blocking the OS from booting, thus I need to free up space? Is it possible to flash a userdata.sin that only wipes storage partially? Or maybe a partition problem? Is it possible to flash a stock ROM that boots into Safe Mode directly, then stuff could be deleted slectively?

Am hoping to find advise from some experienced devs here.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Milly7:
You said you deleted most of the ta files. I thought you should delete all of them. Also delete persist.sin file. Other than that, I would do a clean wipe. Sorry about your files.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nhamg:
Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes, during the first few flash attempts I excluded all .ta files. After reading more in the forum I understood there are different opinions about their potential danger, especially since my device's bootloader is locked and Dev Options are off. Then I started to include those less dangerous .ta's during the flashs, like 'reset-non-secure-adb.ta' or the one in the boot folder, 'Lilac_XBootConfig_MiscTA.ta'.

I thought more about the moment the bootloop started and think maybe the Sony Power Saving mode got activated, since the battery was near 30%. Mmhhh

Yes, I am considering a clean software repair with Xperia Companion, too. I still want to try everything to get those photos. Thinking Software Repair -> Bootloader Unlock -> Root -> Internal Storage Raw Image -> Mount it -> Scan . . . damn

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Frantic3461:
I have a similar problem. I bought a new phone because xz1c had memory issues. I was removing Facebook on Google play to save up space to install Samsung Switch. The device went into that bootloop you mentioned. However, I am not a proficient user like you, I can't perform any of the things you've mentioned. But I do recognize the blue and green flashes before the Sony sign. Then comes the black maintenance triangle, then android logo and reboot. A few times I have seen it pass on to xperia logo, but failed to boot every time.

The only goal is to get the device back on so I can transfer phonebook and messages because I don't have any backups. And they are important for me.

Any solutions?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] zzw19921212:
Hello everyone, I am from China, my English is very bad, please forgive me. I am a fan of htc, but my htc u11 has been stolen. At present, htc's mobile phone can't be bought in China. I can buy htc u12+ through German Amazon. However, since I use China Telecom, it uses the cdma network. The European version is definitely not supported. Therefore, I would like to ask you if you can brush up the Chinese version or other ways to support China Telecom's cdma. Thank you
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
You can't. HTC did not build the u12+ with CDMA support.

In the United States Verizon uses CDMA and LTE. The u12 only works on LTE for that network but it has issues.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] zzw19921212:
Thank you for the reply. In China, htc u12+ has been completely removed and cannot be purchased. The Chinese version supports cdma network, but unfortunately it can't be bought now.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] VidJunky:
While I am an HTC fan, such as yourself, I would recommend getting a different device than the U12+. I have the U12+, live in the US and I am on Verizon's network. I cannot dial emergency numbers (911), the phone has proven to be super fragile (I've broken both the back and the digitizer since purchase, both very expensive to replace), HTC customer support has all but dried up, at least for this device, the U12+ is slated to get Android Pie while other older models have gotten it already, even the lower end U12 Life model all before this Flagship phone. Worse is we're hearing there's are no guarantees that it will ever get the update. I've been reading articles that predict 5G will all but kill HTC, at least in the US market, there seems to be no good news out there for this company. If I had my $1000 (USD) to spend all over again knowing what I know now I would have found a different device.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] zzw19921212:
Yes, I agree with you. Htc has no innovation, and the update speed has slowed down noticeably. Not only the United States, but China is also the same. But apart from htc, I really can't find a good phone. My request is to be able to use the cdma network, and to use the excellent lcd screen, and the native system that is close to Google.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] VidJunky:
The UI was probably 35% of my decision to get this device. I was familiar with Sense and liked it. The specs were probably 40% of my decision. They aren't the absolute best but they are up there. The style/look, my feelings about other HTC devices I've owned and everything else make up the last 25%.

I can't really help you with your CDMA question other than to say that I've had issues on Verizon that I didn't really give much consideration to until this post. If it is true that the device only operates on the LTE portion of the network then that's probably why I had to go to Verizon and have them fix texting for me and probably why I can't dial emergency numbers. There may be other things I'm missing because they aren't as obvious. My entire experience on this device hasn't felt as rich or full as when I was using the HTC M10. I've never experienced that before moving from device to device. I've got probably another 7 to 10 months before I'm aching for a new device and truthfully I don't know what I'm going to do when that time comes.
