[LG V35 Questions & Answers] rklurfeld:
I came from a Pixel XL. It died a month or so ago. I'm on Google Fi and got the V35 for $500 ($700 minus a $200 service credit). Years ago I had a G2 and liked it a lot. I'm a little discouraged by the length of time updates take. On the Pixel XL they came first. I got Android Pie last October. Security fixes came out the first week of the month they were released. Not with LG. I just got the February security fix in late March. LG said that Android Pie would be leased for the V35 in the first quarter of 2019. Today is the last day of that quarter. I doubt it will come out today. But really, does it matter? The incremental changes are nice to have but quite small. Even from going from Oreo to Pie. As for developers, I rooted my G2 but I don't think it is really necessary now. Getting the V35 for half the price of a S9+ did it for me.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] Valinorian:
I would go with the samsung s9 plus.

I've owned the lg v30 (basically the same as the v35) for almost a year, then switched to the s9 for 2 months, switched back to the v30 for 1 month and I'm now using the s10 for a month now.

I loved my v30 but going back from the s9 to the v30 you realise samsung is in a league of its own. Its little details and annoyances but I'll sum some up.

What i love about the v30:

- design: I like the look of the v30 better. Gorgeous phone.

- love the v30 flat screen with minimal side bezels. Curved edges are annoying.

- double tap to turn the screen off and the knock code unlock are great software features i used alot.

- wide angle camera is awesome. Love it.

What i like better on the s9:

- screen: oleophobic coating on the s9 is way better. On the lg the smudges are very visible and they shift colors. Its visible when watching videos. On the samsung no such issues.

- screen itself: going back from s9 to v30 you do notice that the samsung amoled screen is better. If you've never had a samsung you wont realise it but going back you definitely do.

- camera: samsung s9 definitely better. Maybe the v30 can be great on manual mode but how many times do you actually use that. Its so much work.

On auto-mode the s9 photos look way better. Also at night. Shutter speed is wayyy faster on the s9 which also helps with getting sharp photos when the subject is moving,

Autofocus is also way better on the s9. Lg v30 photos have a higher risk of getting a crappy/blurred photo. Especially when the subject is moving. On paper the lg v30 camera looks great but in real life the s9 is alot better. Same goes for video. Im not a movie creator that edits all his videos and color grades them. Im a point and shoot guy and the s9 looks way better.

- front camera: Lg v30 front camera looks like its from the year 2014...... worst front camera on modern phone.

- samsung s9 has stereo speakers and Lg doesnt

- In my country samsung waranty is wayyyy better than lg.

- Samsung software works great. Samsung OneUi feels and looks very nice. Lg v30 feels very basic. Its fast and ok but i prefer samsung.

Also LG updates are very slow, still has not released android pie update.

- audio: quaddac on the v30 is awesome but honestly the s9 audio quality is also good. And the quaddac is actually only really useful when having very expensive quality headphones.

When you use regular good headphones you wont really notice anything.

-Also I noticed i started using bluetooth headphones and also use spotify, so the quaddac is useless for me.

Price: dont know where you live but the s9 plus is also cheaper here, maybe not as cheap as the v30 but i still rather have the s9 plus.

Ow and if you use snapchat, definitely get the s9 plus lol. The LG photos in snapchat are really bad. App is not optimised for LG.

So to sum it all up. If you want a great phone with the least annoyances and thats good at everything, get the s9 plus. Its a complete phone that can last you for years.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ssnova:
Thanks for that detailed response. Sums up my concerns, but you broke it down and mentioned the specifics first hand, appreciate it. I have a V20 and the front facing camera is pretty bad as well, I can't believe how over exposed it looks and how the details are filtered out, sad thing is, it's all processed in to make the person look more "prettier" but it just looks too fake.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ssnova:
I appreciate the responses and feedback from you guys. I suppose the lack of an unlocked bootloader is something to consider, though as it usually goes, it's usually just a matter of time until it gets unlocked(safe to assume?), then again going back to the "niche" of the V35, it's such a rare phone with somewhat significant updates(SD 845 with 6GB of RAM is pretty decent) to keep it relevant, though it was kind of like a knee-jerk reaction too. Reminds me of "AGILE" manufacturing, haha, which I'm sure took place behind the scenes. For the current prices that I see it for, it's gotten my attention, and I haven't written it off yet, but I'm not in a rush to get a new phone just yet, still researching and who knows, the V40 might drop even further( I really appreciate that nice boombox speaker they put in there).

edit: reading through the forums I see that runningnak3d is working on unlocking the bootloader, so looks like there will be some developer support afterall, which can give users an option to keep their phones updated, even if LG decides to stop giving updates.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] htcnext:
I just got the V35 last week. Great device, highly recommended for the low price. Other reasons to pick LG over Samsung is Quickcharge 3.0 and wide angle camera. LG phones are underrated because reviewers assume retail price. But if you wait at least a few months after release date then LG devices are way, way cheaper. As far as software updates go both LG and Samsung are pretty bad. If timely Android updates matter best bets are either Pixel or OnePlus.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ScottsoNJ:
Isn't the V35 better than the V30? Are you comparing the S9 to the V30 or V35? I'm sure it would make a difference?
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] Valinorian:
Differences

- V35 has snapdragon 845 vs snapdragon 835 on V30

- Ram is 6gb on V35 vs 4gb on V30

- Wide angle camera is 16mp vs 13mp (main camera is exactly the same)

- Front Camera is better indeed.

Those are the differences.

If you read my experience, all the things i like the s9 better have not changed like screen and main camera and UI.

I did not complain about overall performance so snapdragon 845 and 6gb is great but snapdragon 835 with 4g was also good.

Same with wide angle, its better on v35 but I was allready happy with it, its in my positive list.

Only negative point in my v30 comparison is the front camera and that they did change so yes I cant compare that, I hope its way better now.

But what I do know is that samsung s9 has a great front camera also.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] htcnext:
Screen is supposed to be better on the V35 vs the V30. LG had inconsistent quality screens on the V30, if you got a good one it was great but many did not. Regarding the main camera, the V35 is supposed to have the same one as the G7. I don't know how much better the G7 camera is vs the V30, though.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] Valinorian:
I luckily had a good screen, one of the later "improved" ones because the V30 got released here very late.

The main camera hardware specs are the same.

Camera software: Dxomark about the LG G7 "The only image quality category that shows a marked improvement over the V30 cousin is Color."

So everything else is the same.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] kgbeezr1:
This was the exact switch that I made recently S9+>V35. It was more boredom with the S9+ and I absolutely regret changing phones. It's not to say that the V35 is "bad", it's just that Samsung has done well honing their skills in smartphone design, especially with regard to S-AMOLED tech. The P-OLED panel on the V35 is no comparison. I've had a decade's worth of experience with AMOLED panels and the dreaded "panel lottery", so I speak from experience - I have never seen a bad panel on an S9...it's not to say they don't exist, but i've never seen one. LG's P-OLED tech is about on par with Samsung's AMOLED tech from maybe 5 years ago. I was unlucky and got a screen that's blue on the bottom and pink on top, of course the colors shift at even minute angle differences, so it depends how you hold it. Looking straight on it's distracting, but i'm just going to live with it vs. sending it back and being stuck without a phone for a week or two. All OLED panels have color shift to some degree, but it's much, much less noticeable on Samsung's most recent screens from what I can tell. If panel quality is high on your list, you might be disappointed with the V35.

Camera is another issue, compared to the S9 it isn't good. Zoomed in there's less detail, more noise, more purple fringing, and what seems like less ability to deal with very contrast heavy scenes. Dynamic range isn't the camera's strong suit. The wide angle lens to me is far more useful than the telephoto unit on the S9, but all things considered i'd rather have the better photos. As someone else mentioned, in auto mode it's harder to get a clear photo. With the S9, day or night, auto seems to almost always yield a good photo.

The DAC is nice, sound quality is excellent, but for me that's ultimately secondary, and nowhere near important enough to overlook the other flaws. The last of the main 3 being the software. I briefly had a G6 a couple years ago and i'm not sure why that experience faded from memory the way it did, but going back to LG's take on Android is a good reminder to stay away in the future. Again, it's not that it's "bad" per se, it's just that Samsung has so much of a better handle on making the OS usable and the features relevant. Little things like swipe gestures are absent on the V35 (hides nav buttons, swipe up in place for back/home/recents). There are other little additions Samsung adds that LG doesn't and I miss them. I'm not sure if Pie will bring dark backgrounds to the V35, if it does that will be a nice bonus. LG provides a "high contrast" mode, but for whatever reason it's just not as nice looking as the "night mode" option on the S9. The stereo speakers also make a very nice difference on the S9. The single speaker on the V35 is excellent for what it is.

I suspect I'll hold onto it until the S10 falls in price some, and then go back to Samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mrbongal007:
Hello,

When doing file transfer from/to note 9 512gb using the stock usb-c cable i am getting usb2 speed of 20/30MBs. Also, the connected device list on my windows 10 laptop reports "galaxy note 9 could be faster if connected to usb 3". Well i tested it on multiple computers for sure having usb 3 ports and the result remains the same.

can people share what speeds are they getting and what does the device list on their computer show note 9 to be (usb 3 or usb 2).

Please share any fix to solve this.

thanks.

MD
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
Sounds like your Note 9 is not performing as it should be, i’m getting mega fast transfer speeds, for example 19.7 gig file size, it will take around 2 mins to transfer if i got multiple files and folders..

Let’s say around 25 ish gig it will take around 7/8 ish mins

I’m on windows 10 64-bit, have you got smart switch installed on your laptop/desktop ? And have you got the Samsung USB driver installed ? install smart switch as it will install the correct driver for you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Dolgogi:
I didn't think the standard USB cable, that came with the phone, is USB 3.0/3.1, only USB 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] joedellosso69:
Maybe time to change the cable... the original ones of every model used even for charging don't last to long. Try another one to see if that's the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
No it is (USB 3.0) complaint the standard cable! Not sure who told you it's not ? As that's the one i use, and its crazy fast!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Dolgogi:
Are you sure?

Because the NOTE8, Galaxy S8/S9 series all came with USB 2.0 cables.

And I can't see anything in the doc's that came with the phone, that it has a USB 3.0/3.1 cable, even though the phone itself supports USB 3.1 Gen 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
Dude that would be so dumb if Samsung gave us an USB-2.0 cable with a USB 3 compliant phone! it's an USB 3.0 Cable that ships with the Note 9 (im guessing) and I’m sure i was getting the same speeds on the S8+ Mega fast transfers, i was useing the standard cable that came with the S8+!

is there anyway to check ?

i'll make a short video of my transfer speeds!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Dolgogi:
Searching for info.

Samsung does not state what USB standard the cable is.

But the lack of blue trim on the USB-A plug would suggest it's not a USB 3.0/3.1 cable.

The reason I suggested the NOTE9 supplied cable might only be USB 2.0, was for the above reason.

But also due to a thread I saw here on XDA (S9 or S9+) where it was noted that they came with a USB 2.0 cable, despite the phone supporting USB 3.1 Gen 1

And the supplied cable is definately anorexic :p

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

Whilst I still haven't found anything directly from Samsung, about the supplied cable with the Note9,

I did check the 15W travel charger kits, and they are using the exact same cable/plug as those that come with the phone.

And they DO state it's a USB 2.0 cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] kendoka15:
My S9+ and my friend's S8+ both came with USB 2.0 cables. I'm not sure about the Note 9 but I can ask my friend who has one. I don't see why they'd suddenly start shipping USB 3.0 cables for similarly specced devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] otaconremo:
I can also confirm that my note9 512gb came with USB2.0 type C cable.

How do i know this? because I have an original USB3.0 type C from my Axon 7 which I compared to with the cable provided with the note9.

If you inspect closely inside the USB-A plug, 2.0 only has 4 pins. While 3.0 has an additional 5 pins aside from the standard 4 pins.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rudedog123:
Is there a 3.0 cable available

I have also had a frustrating time uploading photos from my S9 Note to PC. Assuming the main issue is the 2.0 cable; does Samsung offer a faster cable?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
ive used a thunderbolt cable and transfering from and to internal storage is quite fast. do t use the charging cable supplied and try and get a hight quality cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] @ Ayush Garg:
Bro. I can assure you that Note 9 comes with Type c to USB 2.0 data cable. It has only 4 wire inside to transfer data and charge phone. Also if you look at the USB side you can clearly see it has only 4 pin it to connect with your USB port.

Purchase a new type c to USB 3.1 data cable and see the difference your self. Also make your your desktop / laptop has ssd for better data transfer speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
LOL, you mean like Samsung providing a 25watt charger for the Note 10+ while it supports 45 watt charging?

Companies do this all the time, it saves them $$ to get you to buy another cable/charger ect...

Seriously, the manufacturers aren't out to help you, only their bottom line...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
Just got my Note 10 + 5G today! Wow it's a beast only just got round to setting it up screen is gorgeous,:) Dude don’t Super Fast Charging damage the battery in the long run ? i have turned off fast charging i use a extra long usb cable like 3 meters long.. Then i plug in my USB C cable to charge my Note 9 take around 6/7+ hours to charge up the phone to 80/90% phone stays super cool.

I will be doing the same for Note 10 + super slow charge.. What’s the rush that you need your battery topped up so fast ? With power banks available you can charge on the move man!

if you’re looking to upgrade every 1/2 years yeah leave on fast charge but i still am using my Tab S 8.4 LTE as a daily driver had over 4300+ chargers dischargers just mange to get a new battery out of a broken Tab S 8.4 LTE so I’m getting good hard usage hours out of it again please note it's coming up to 4 or 5 years old

Also i'm planning to keep the Note 10 + for at least 4 years so fast charge i rather not use it.. Plus Samsung are assholes they will not sell you the battery..

But yeah i totally get where you coming from they all are copying ipoop so no true USB 3.0 cables or super fast chargers not bundled in with a £1100 phone witch is a joke!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
It would be nice if there was some clarity on what cable to buy for fastest charging and data transfer.

The Note 9 USB cable is listed with a top speed transfer speed off 480 Mb/Sec. And a samsung tech rep told me it uses a USB 3.0 standard.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xeroxide:
Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone here can help me.

I did a manual forced update as described by the usb method.

however my cust changed from C34E11 (Optus AU) to C432 (Europe)

I have been able to obtain a C34E10 cust (also Optus AU) and flash it successfully.

however I still get CTS profile mismatch errors which I'm assuming is due to the incorrect CUST installed on the phone.

I cannot for the life of me find the file which I assume might fix my profile mismatch errors.

I was wondering if anyone here successfully made a backup of an ota update which contains a file called either

update_full_cust_LYA-L09_optus_au.zip

or maybe even

update_sd_cust_LYA-L09_optus_au.zip

unlike the EU version which is < 1mb, the AU C34E10 version is ~ 60mb

it would be much appreciated since I cannot for the life of me find the one for C34E11

also note in trying the hstool method results in my phone flashing the C432 cust again.

has my phone permanently been tricked into thinking that the actual cust file is C432 and not C34E11

thanks in advance

also on a side note, if anyone needs the C34E10 cust file, I can try to upload it somewhere however be careful with it cause you might just end up with the same issue I'm having.

[Touch Cruise General] peace2make:
My Cruise (stock ROM) seems to have developed a problem charging from my car charger or when using activesync. If the phone is on and I plug it in, the charging light does not illuminate and it fails to charge. If I switch the phone off and plug it in, the charging light illuminates and it charges. I haven't changed anything on the phone or installed anything new to cause this, it just started doing it.

The problem is identical to the charging problem I experienced on my old Prophet when using some of the earlier cooked ROMS; this time however it is the stock ROM!

Anyone have any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it? I don't really want to have to hard reset but I guess that is my next try (I've already tried soft resets and removing the battery).:mad:
[Android General] NolanLinuxDev:
Now first off, this Magisk image would technically not work due to the small issue that the LG Phoenix 2's bootloader can't be unlocked. However, you could still, if you somehow manage to force a bootloader unlock and get into fastboot mode, flash this boot.img file and achieve Magisk root. The files needed (excluding adb) are below in a .rar file, sadly I cannot give you a guide on how to flash this image file, as I cannot access fastboot, and I have mostly stopped using my Phoenix 2. If you manage to get Magisk working on the Phoenix 2, post below!

Root files on MediaFire (will be reuploaded on AFH when possible)
[Android General] NolanLinuxDev:
Judging by the lack of replies I'm guessing no one else got root either :\
[Android General] xebbmw:
Hi,

I see there are no replies for this thread, quite old thread. I still have this phone but I retired it so I looked recently how this can be rooted.

I want to ask you how did you read the boot.img that you attached to the link? Or did you extract it from a firmware?

One idea how you might write patched boot back to the phone is using QFIL app. I did not try it, but I guess it should be possible to put the phone in Download mode and use QFIL with it. I will look into it when I have some time.
