No USB Driver > No MTP Mode > No LG Support Tools/Bridge/PC Suite? Support Sucks

I bought this phone from Fido on Black Friday last year. Immediately realized that there wasn't a USB driver for it and the Windows MTP driver in Win 10 does squat. This means that the phone will not be seen by LG Support Tools, Bridge or even the old PC Suite. There is no MTP mode in the settings either. USB Debugging is easy enough to find in the Dev settings, the USB mode status shows up in notifications no issue but MTP is MIA and PTP does not allow the tools to see the phone.

The LG support site has not changed one iota since release of this phone. In fact, LG couldn't even be bothered to post anything beyond the generic info that tells you to download support tools and install the non-existant USB driver. Good Grief! They released it and immediately abandoned it. I called LG as soon as I realized the driver issue and was assured it would be addressed. That was Black Friday and here we are in March and nothing, absolutely nothing. I tried their online chat and after a couple of minutes the service rep left, never to return. I called LG Canada Support and guess what, wonder of wonders I'm transfered to a call centre in the GD Philipines where the rep knew absolutely nothing!

I'm in contact with Fido with every intention of returning this phone. I'm not paying for 2 years for a phone that there seems to be 0 interest in supporting.

If anyone has discovered solutions to these issues by all means let me know but AFAIK there are none.
[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] wudifxb:
Hi, I have off topic question, did you receive feb security update? Its already March now.
[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] strifexx:
Nope...Phone shows Jan 1, 2019 as latest security patch date. Honestly I hadn't even looked, I'm so pissed off at LG and this phone. I can't be rid of it soon enough. I was really excited about Android One and gace up wireless charging, more RAM etc and am so disappointed. With only 32Gb and not even being able to reliably get phots on to the SD or apps as it seems the dev option to force install apps doesn't do squat. My 32GB is almost full already and I have a near empty 64GB SD card that I really can't do much with.
[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] wudifxb:
we are on the same boat, but I'm fine with 32 GB. I bought this phone only because pure android experience with monthly security update. LG can't even keep their promise to provide update monthly, disappointed.
[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] strifexx:
Well one way or another I'll be rid of it. Either Fido or LG is going to take this dog back and get me into something else... Monday I have the day off and will be headed to the Fido Store and it will be handled.

What a monumental waste of time!
[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] ToddEDM:
How did it go?
[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] strifexx:
So after multiple calls and finally ending up dealing with retention, I am headed in tomorrow (Friday) to trade in the G7 One for a Samsung Galaxy S8. Between the trade-in value of the LG, the goodwill credits I negotiated and finally with a discount I worked out on my monthly, I actually end up ahead of where I would have been had I kept the Lg, from a $$ standpoint for starters. Little older phone but one I am quite familiar with as my wife has one so I know exactly what I am getting and will have no issue with it. The S8 was the phone I was originally going to grab in the first place but I got distracted by a bigger prepaid visa offer and the hype of the One OS. I should have stuck to my guns and avoided the hassle.

According to Versus, the S8 is a better phone anyway. https://versus.com/en/lg-g7-one-vs-samsung-galaxy-s8

I almost forgot to mention, I could have had an S9 instead but would not have gotten the monthly discount on my plan so opeted for the S8 instead. The S8 and 9 are not so far apart that I thought it would be worth it paying the extra.
[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] Bl__nk:
Wait does this mean you can't even plug it in a pc to transfer files ?
[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] strifexx:
You are able to do that but thats all you can do. You can't even format the SD card from your PC. No backup tools unless you want to use/buy 3rd party, none of which are any good unless your phone is rooted IMHO anyway. The back-up measure you have, as is, is to you Google drive but even that doesnt wotk properly as if you even think about adjusting prefs for pics the interface locks up forcing you to back out by quitting. It was like that from day 1. LG initially told me they would be releasing drivers/tools forthwith and kept up that charade until just recently when they basically told me that it was Google's fault. Between that and the now completely MIA seurity updates enough was enough..

Didnt even bother to mention the lackluster performance as well. Both CSR2 Racing and Asphalt 9 were unable to run at full spec without them having issues. Pretty sad for what was supposed to be a flagship phone.

A tiny delay for me but this morning I am on my way to the FIDO store to rid myself of this POS and get a Galaxy S8 in its place.
[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] Bl__nk:
Thank you for the reply, this phone was on my go to list after my 6p dies but not sure anymore, it seems all the models offered to me aren't rootable and won't ever be, I am sad. This phone had sd card headphone jack and notification light, but no root is a real big deal. Lets hope my 6p hangs on for long while.

[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] timn_13:
just tested out the usb connection on my linux machine - it shows up in the file explorer as an MTP device, and when running lsusb from a command line i get this: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1004:631c LG Electronics, Inc. G2/Optimus Android Phone [MTP mode]

pretty messed up but pretty typical LG to not have a proper full function driver, i really get the impression that they don't care about their mobile phone division at all... i mean, the usb cable that came in the box won't even do 18w charging, i had to grab a heavier gauge monoprice one before my inline voltage tester would show above 12w... like, they saved a few cents per unit skimping on a cable? wow lol, classy company!
[LG G7 One Questions & Answers] strifexx:
I got mine on Black Friday from Fido. It went back to Fido last week. It was a bit of a chore/fight but they took it back and I walked out of the store with a Galaxy S8 as a straight swap and even managed to get a 25% loyalty credit applied to my monthly, for all the hassle. That's saying something as I was on a grandfathered medium plan that not only no longer exists but that was already dirt cheap. It took dealing with retentions first and then the office of the president, at Fido, but in the end they treated me what i feel was quite fairly under the circumstances.

The Galaxy S8 btw completely walks all over the G7 One performance wise. making the LG experience even more of a disappointment.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] alanrochasmx:
Hi, I bought the MI MIX 3 from 6 / 128GB ROM Global in Mi Store of Parque Toreo in Mexico City, direct store of MI. But nevertheless, the screen of the Mi MIX 3 usually moves towards the sides as if it were dismantled also when the movement is made it has a sound as if it collided with metal, have 3 days since I bought the phone.

¿This is normal?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
The screen does have a slight wobble to it. That isn't unusual. The sliding mechanism is comprised of magnets, which are made of metal. Closed, they attract, open they repel, giving you that satisfying snap.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] alanrochasmx:
This wobble is very annoying when you write horizontally or play like pubg. Today I took it to the MI Store and they did not want to make the factory default change, which is why I decided to sell it better or suffer a greater wobble in the long run.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
It won't wobble more over time. It will always have that slight bit of wobble. The device is very well made. I can understand how the wobble would be annoying. It doesn't personally bother me enough though to want another device.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KajRumpff:
So I got my new blloc zero18 today, and they advised me to update so I did.

The update failed and now my phone can't boot anymore...

It gets stuck on "fastboot mode...", I can enter the recovery menu so I tried wiping cache and doing a factory reset, but it didn't help.

I'm kinda out of options since I'm not very experienced and I don't know what to do.

Any help?

edit/ps: phone came with superuser already installed/active, when the phone is stuck and I turn it off it automatically turns itself on again, but it stays off when I power it off via the recovery room.

update: was looking on the starting guide of the blloc and I found out that, when clicked on the tab of the older version, in which it ships. It says that you shouldn't download android apks (these don't come with the phone). Which I did. Pretty stupid of me I guess, but my phone is still not working :(

(my account is too new so I can't post a link to the guide but it's on the official site but you change blloc.*** to wiki.blloc.***)

After upgrading to version 1.1.3, I have a dark gray screen and black letters. Using a phone is not possible. How to roll back the firmware?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesuskistus:
It might seem dumb, but try to ask them if they could give you a rom which you could then flash on your existing phone via bootloader. Also as an added benefit, you could share the rom with us. Believe me, I've been waiting for some time to get my hands on that rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OMERZEN:
yes if it has superuser by default it means it is rooted already.. someone can dump the system files and can create a rom, so devs can work on porting for other brands...

even its launcher might be a great replacement to stock one... i liked the feed based monochromatic+minimalistic feel.. :fingers-crossed:

Hi all.

I own a mate 10 and it's great except the camera always smooths people's faces. I turn portrait mode off and tried with the ai also off but there's always some level of "beauty" mode on.

For those with the mate 20 x, which looks like an amazing phone, how is the rear camera when taking photos of faces? Good detail? Realistic?

Thanks in advance for comments

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Derpling:
They are great, don't come close to a DSLR though, idk what camera your wife used but while the phone makes great photos, it can't touch a good DSLR(even D3300).

Best photos are during the day, at night it can get a bit messy and blurry if you're not steady, but that's acceptable, don't forget the Pro mode too.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] techlogik:
Oh, I don't use the slider, so it isn't an issue. I just use the silent tile and nightly quiet schedule when needed. Slider is a cool feature, but I just got used to never using one on any phone and rely on the other method to silent the phone.

Just odd how there is no separate ring/notification like their used to be. Guess Samsung and maybe others people complain about this lack of obvious feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dedq:
Recently I got the notification that my charging port has moisture and I waited for it to dry to place my phone to charge. The thing is it charged without problems (not using fast charging) but I got the notification that my port is wet again after some time. The thing is the screen will not turn on at all. Could it be the screen died because of the electric shock?

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Did it actually get wet? There is a bug that sometimes if these devices die they dont want to boot back up. If you feel its the second look up s8 and deep discharge bug.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dedq:
I never let it discharge fully. The thing is it is instresting that the display died because of water getting in. I stil do not believe it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Did you get it wet? The moisture in USB detected disables charging. You can only wireless charge if that's showing
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dedq:
The thing is it got wet but when I booted it (because I was unable to charge it in other way because it started vibrating) it charged normally for a short period of time (not using fast charging).

I think the water got in somehow and I do know how. My indicator for water in the SIM tray is red.

The display obviously died because of the electric shock from charging.

I do not know why the the phone did not prevent itself from charging. Seems like it cheated me somehow.

Guys, be aware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
It should have stopped charging and displayed the warning. I would assume the mother board not the display these displays are pretty durable in thise standards. Ive seen them wet before.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ImS0Raw:
I had the same problem, sometimes it didn't even charge with the cable plugged. Went to Samsung store and they replaced it under warranty. I also got the moisture thingy popping up, they replaced my battery and charging port and in less than an hour I was gone. My battery was faulty they said.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dedq:
I see other parts of the motherboard working such as LED indicators, it charges as well. The screen just does not turn on (after turning off). I do not know why it took it so long to die since the time between charging and the phone dying was couple of hours (if it were the electric shock it would have died instantaneously).
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] kipue:
Hi guys, I'm sure you've seen quite a few pictures of those accessories, so I thought I'd post here a few images from very close to some details so you can have a good idea of the finish, etc.

Also a small comparison with an official case (nylon one). I've ordered a skin for it, but it was on preorder and just started shipping today.

Sorry for the lint on some pictures, it does catch it ^^

As for my opinion (one more of those), well the case does feel real good in hand, the phone feels really safe in there. The buttons are real good (miles better than Rhinoshield bumper). Only thing is that the fingerprint scanner is deep and in a small window, so must get a little used to the feeling of really accurately put the finger in there. And is it grippy ? Is fine! a bit better than the official case but not by super much.

Prism is also good, easy to install. Biggest critic is how sharp the edges are (you can see on the pictures). If you don't use a case, you'll feel them and I'd be afraid to lift it by mistake, not sure how securely it sticks. The feeling is like glass, I was using the phone naked previously and no problem with that. Also, it does not affect the screen, I think ; some peops say it makes the screen cloudy, but I do not notice.

Worth the price ? Hmm those things are a rip off no matter what. But they are both good quality products, and the glass screen protector without a black border is a real step up ^^.

There you go!
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] silent_freak:
Thanks for sharing! Would you recommend dropping $$$ on this combo?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] kipue:
Well, all in all, it is near 60 USD.

The case is good I think, feels good and will protect the phone that's for sure, so if you don't have anything like that, it is a good buy. I also have an official OP cover and the main difference is that the Dbrand case has raised edges.

The glass, while it is good, is not as ground breaking as I imagined (Dbrand's marketing team is good ^^). The plus is that it feels like glass and does not have a black border, is as fingerprints resistant as the bare glass or the official screen protector. The bad is that the glass as you can see on the pictures is really only on the screen and has sharp corners, so you feel it when doing gestures, unless you use a case (because then your finger does not slide from the farther edge of the phone, if you see what I mean).

So out of the two, I would say the actually real good product is the case.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] dragos281993:
The case looks too bulky to me. I prefer the slimmer ones like the official protective sandstone or the karbon bumper, which are really well made. But I guess it depends on the environment you're working in (etc) which affects the danger your phoneis in, in which case, if it's a place you can easily damage it, this type of case can save you good money on repairs. The prism looks really durable from what I've seen online and I believe you get 2 in the box if I'm not mistaken, so if that's true, that's a big plus over rhinoshield's overpriced 1x black bordered piece of crap that covers at least 1mm of screen on each side, forcing you to just take it off minutes after installation and breaking it in anger.

Anyway, thanks for giving us a look at dbrand's new products. Was really looking forward to seeing someone talk about that.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] kipue:
I agree as well, it does add quite a bit of bulk.

I have all in all 3 cases. The simple one from OP (carbon one), their thicker nylon one and this one from dbrand. I don't really need a lot of protection (scratches protection is good enough) so it's mostly to change the look. I go naked as well with just a skin.

The result is that with that dbrand case you do feel very confident that the phone is safe.

Yes you do get two prism in the box, so that's actually quite a sweet deal because those are sturdy and nice to the touch really like glass without the border.

I have not been able to try with the simple case from OP, it's still in my boxes after moving house, but do not underestimate how annoying the edges of the prism are. They really really get in the way.

I think it's important to stress this because for example people were downplaying the terrible buttons of the Rhinoshield bumper for op5 and I got it and it was in actuality very bad.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] dragos281993:
I dropped my OP6 from approximately 2.5meters from the locomotive's door and the phone miraculously survived with the karbon case having one nick in the top right side corner and surprisingly that disappeared after a few days. Very impressive quality. I was also very lucky, I guess, considering the height the phone fell from. THEN I got the bumper case from Rhinoshield along with the garbage black bordered glass. I broke the glass in half after basically donating money to them because that glass was not worth the price, but that was that. I put their bumper on my phone and left it there for a few days. ****ty buttons, poor quality material and slippery too, like a hard plastic you find in those kitchen accessories, but whatever, I liked the alert slider one. Then one day I got in my car and the phone fell from my pocket on concrete (or asphalt) and because it happened right at the edge of the road, one hard little rock managed to touch the edge of the screen at impact and cracked the screen on the middle right side with the crack starting from the bottom and ending in a "C" shape 2 or 3 centimeters above. So it's still ok but the start of the crack can be felt at touch so that's a bummer.

And in the end I could've given the money to the old lady beggar at the corner of the street instead of giving it to Rhinoshield for 2 absolutely rubbish products they made such a big fuss about.

Never again I'll buy from them. Dbrand's products seem a bit different though especially that prism. I might get one and put it on the screen to protect it from getting other cracks if I accidentally drop it, cause the crack is pretty small to make me replace the screen. I don't think it's worth it.
