[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Android Lollipop (5) and Marshmallow (6)? Are you crazy? :eek: You're talking about 2015 and 2016 Android firmware.

How old do you think this phone is? It's less than two years old!

You can flash stock Nougat (Android 7) -- the OS the phone was released with in late 2017.

However you won't have the improved early Oreo camera, the vastly improved most recent Oreo camera (rear and portrait selfie), DTS 3D Stereo, fixes, etc.

In fact for current AOSP/Lineage custom ROMs, the dev advice is to update to most recent stock Oreo firmware first, before installing custom ROMs.

The phone is very responsive on stock rooted Oreo firmware, and Magisk mods like the make it better:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/themes/anxiousv30-magisk-mod-t3865146

Not sure why you want to go backwards...

The most recent Pie custom ROMs are way better than early Nougat custom ROM efforts, where the quad DAC didn't work.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] teknomedic:
The primary reason to go backwards would be to avoid some of the imposed security features in later versions. The only things I'd honestly care about are ensuring wifi works properly and I can install some software that supports older versions of Android, but not new versions and hopefully run them with increased speed thanks to the newer hardware. I have two V30s and I'd be doing this as a "for fun" thing for my secondary V30. It would also allow me to finally retire my older Droid Turbo that's getting long in the tooth, but also still running some software I don't want to give up due to newer versions of Android.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
So, I guess you're still running BHB27 Marshmallow ROM or something on your Droid Turbo? Sure, he's up to Pie ROMs now, but some people still go back to Marshmallow or Nougat.

I was very active in the Droid Turbo/Quark threads. If you see my full browser XFA signature (quoted below), I still mention I have (in a drawer) the "international" variant of the Droid Turbo -- for which

I wrote bootloader unlock and root guide.

For those who don't know, the 2014/2015 Moto Quark was the Droid Turbo XT1254/Moto Maxx XT1250 & XT1225/Moto Turbo XT1225. It was an exceptional 2014 phone -- with specs which kept it competitive for three years! (1440p OLED, 3GB RAM, 3900mAh battery, etc.) Motorola even released it in India in March 2015 as the Moto Turbo XT1225 -- while releasing it in North and South America October 2014 as the "Moto Maxx" and "Droid Turbo" (depending on the carrier, country).

Moto Maxx was the "global" name, but for some reason, Motorola had different model names for the SAME PHONE, in different parts of the world. :rolleyes: A lot of people thought the Droid Turbo was exclusive to Verizon, but the Moto Maxx XT1250 (sold in U.S. by other carriers) was IDENTICAL -- even same FCC ID, and had easily unlocked bootloader long before Sunshine team figured out how to unlock the Droid Turbo itself. Moto Maxx XT1250 ran on Verizon with a Verizon SIM card because it "Droid Turbo" was just a re-badge of the Moto Maxx name. Moto Turbo was Moto Maxx re-badge also, for the India market. Some Moto Maxx did have different LTE bands. I had the Moto Maxx XT1225, which had all the AT&T LTE bands, more HSPA bands and no useless CDMA bands -- as I'm on AT&T. ;) Was my daily phone until about January 2018.

So, due to the different model names, we just called it "Quark" -- the same way the LG internal code name for V30 is "Joan".

I ran the Quark BHB27 (now FGL27, for some reason)

2016 Resurrection Remix Marshmallow ROM

s and before that Quark

2015 CM Lollipop ROMs.

However, by late 2017, with new generation of Snapdragon, more RAM, fingerprint sensor, and IP68 with quad DAC and headset jack, the LG V30 was the phone which was the spiritual successor. We have lots of former Droid Turbo owners in this forum.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] teknomedic:
The furthest I ever let it upgrade was to Marshmallow 6.0.1 with the January 2017 security patch. Was hoping there was an option for me to get that onto a V30
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Sorry, no.

There are some apps I do not let update -- because for instance SMS messaging functionality was removed from theft protection apps. I keep the older versions running, do not let Google Play update them, and keep backup copies in Titanium Backup. :good: The SMS functionality still works, because the older app version is running. Now Google won't let apps have that. Is it stuff like that you are talking about?

Also there's one app (My Data Manager) that in more recent versions insists on putting an icon badge in my Notifications bar if the function is also running in the Swipedown space. Until a few months ago I could merely swipe down and easily see how much monthly data I had used, but I didn't need the Notifications icon in my face all day long. So, I reverted back to older version which works exactly as it should. :p I accidentally updated my Mom's phone to the newer version (her phone is not rooted so I don't have Titanium Backup), so I had to go find the older version on APK Mirror site and reinstall it. Quite a pain to set it up again. :rolleyes:

________

Here's the change log when US998 got DTS, so I'm assuming it's the same for all V30 when they received DTS framework (which can be

enabled via root

). This is why it's not recommended to be using Nougat or even early Oreo but instead to update to latest stock rooted firmware:

change log:

- DTS: X 3D stereo effect function has been added.

- New Always On Display options

- Selfie camera portrait mode

- Improved accessibility.

- Improved keyboard performance

- Improved the delay of keyboard input when installing multiple market apps at once.

- Photo display error in some apps since Google's latest security patch has been improved.

- Improved to keep app aspect ratio settings after app updates.

- Improved the phenomenon that fine lines are displayed on some screens when power saving mode is executed.

- Google Security Update has enhanced your phone's security.

Most of the list is found here in the link below -- plus the AOD and selfie camera portrait feature are from public reports. The AOD I verified myself, but the selfie thing seems to be subtle.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sharpz811:
Hey guys just looking to see if anyone has ever experienced this type of behaviour before. So I believe it happened a day after I took the ota and put of nowhere my fingerprint scanner suddenly stopped recognizing my fingerprint. So I decided to check the settings and to my freaking surprise the option to configure the fingerprint settings is nonexistent! Gone! Vanished! Contacted Google support and they said to reach out to the third party store I bought it from which was from Rogers (Canada) on two year contract. So I will be heading to Rogers this weekend to see what they can do. Google representing also mentioned that if I'm not satisfied with Rogers warranty service I can contact the same Google representative and she'll help me with that. Anyone ever experienced this before?

Also worth mentioning I'm 100% stock and my phone is a little laggy and lies responsive since update smh Google smfh.

Did you try factory resetting? I know it sucks to have to reset all your apps, but something that is probably a software glitch is offered fixed by a reset.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
Second this... Actually I'm surprised the Google tech person didn't insist on a factory reset after failing to get a result from the scripted "jump through hoops" nonsense they make everyone go through.

Best shot is a factory reset. I'm running beta 5 with no issues.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] yefka:
Hi,

This afternoon my Mi A1 suddenly stopped working. I just had a black screen. At the beginning I thought that battery was too low, but after two hours I was still not able to power on the phone. Just nothing happens (even with power+volume +/-). Please note that when I plug the phone, the white led blinks.

I found an article explaining how to use MiFlash to unbrick the phone : "[Device Team] [ifelixit] Guide to Flash Bricked Mi A1 by Test Point Method!."

My phone is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoaded 9008, and is shown in MiFlash, but not seen by adb or fastboot.

When I try to flash with MiFlash I got "Null reference ..." error.

I tried to open it, short the test points ... it changed nothing, I still get the same error

The log is showing :

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] cowboysgz:
I've had a OP5T and mate 9 and 10 and while using nova launcher you could enable double tap to lock the phone while using the pin pattern (I prefer pin pattern) as if you had rebooted the phone. Sadly I've tried the same in my mi 9t (my first Xiaomi phone) and I also tried using a different launcher but no luck. Yes, I gave permissions as decide manager so it could lock the phone with the pin lock I was using. Is it now possible in Xiaomi devices or am I missing something else?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] elkadeho:
I've got this setup, but with FP unlock. And it works, though it was a bit fiddly to setup.

Edit: when using Nova, you have to chose the first or second option (lock without root).

Did you manage to get it working? I've tried both options in Nova but it won't lock the phone with my current pin lock unless y reboot the phone.

Hello,

I'm not sure that this is the right place to ask this question so if it is not please point me to the appropriate forum and I will ask there.

I have TWRP installed and I noticed that there is a newer version available that I was unaware of. To update TWRP on a device with TWRP already installed can I simply flash the newer TWRP installer or do I still need to boot from the image file and then install the newer version? I am also wondering about Magisk. Should I uninstall it first no matter which method I use and the reboot into TWRP after the installation of the newer version of TWRP and then reinstall Magisk?

This is my A/B partition phone and I really don't want to screw something up causing me top have to start over from scratch. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
No need to boot the image. Just run the installer, then reinstall Magisk.

I don't uninstall Magisk even for updates, but I don't have a bunch of Mods or anything install, just Magisk. For TWRP you should be fine leaving it. Personally I do.

Its snapdragon for sure

Samsung Info App says G930U and fw is OFFICIAL PDA G930UUES9CSC2 AND CSC G930UOYM9CSC2

After factory reset it still shows as G930U

When i go to Samsung and try to register for warranty it shows as being SM-G930VZKAVZW

Did i get burnt?

What should i do? i can still ask for refund.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
It's not a problem whoever you bought it off has installed G930U firmware which is unlocked and not branded with any network crap.

You can flash it back to G930V if you wish as the device was originally on the Verizon network.

It's a USA device, I'm assuming that's where you live. If not then yes it's a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dovedescent7:
I appreciate this. Yes i am in the USA , i use a Tmobile mvno called Ultra Mobile. Did a LTE speed test and getting 100mbps down and 25mbps up.

The phone is really like brand new mint.

Here's the thing...i dont know if its because of the U firmware or what, but this phone is MUCH less responsive than my G930f. Just kindof drags all around.

I rooted, de-bloated what was left, changed to high performance mode, cleared dalvik, and its marginally better.

What surprised me is the antutu score of 154,000 which was same as my other G930f.

Could the snapdragon 820 be that much slower than the Exynos 8890?

its like i have to tap things twice for everything to get the apk to open or, like tap twice in browser to get the keyboard up!

Perplexed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
The G930V isn't Snap dragon its Exynos. Install "android phone info" from play store to make sure it is, then flash either the Verison firmware again or the U G930U, that should put it back to new and resolve any messing about with it before you bought it.

and for the G930U

https://www.phonemore.com/specs/samsung/galaxy-s7/sm-g930u

Are you sure you're not confused? All USA S7's are Snapdragons

I already did install Samsung info, the first thing i did when i opened the phone. Its Snapdragon no question.

This phone is LAGGY! Like slower than my S5

Btw the guy from ebay now says that this is a G930V with U firmware flashed.

I dont know if its splitting hairs but i'm pretty sure im going to return it

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] LordGMLP:
Hi all,

I'm a new initiate to the (awesome) Galaxy Note line. Jumping ship from iOS to replace the age old iPhone 6 Plus. Never owned one before except a few glorious moments with a Note8 borrowed from my mum. Going all out on Android this time around with the Note10. Just a few questions please:

+ How smooth is the data transfer from iOS to Android? What is carried over and/or left behind? I have years of messages, photos, contacts calendar items and about 30GB of music in the iPhone.

+ I read that Samsung is not particularly good with latest Android updates, so low chance of Android Q appearing at launch unlike Google Pixel 4. How long does it take normally for Samsung to offer upgrade from launch?

+ Any recommended tweaks/settings and Play store downloads I need to make immediately out of the box? I honestly felt dumb playing around the Note8 settings after years in the Apple camp :D

Much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Jaroslav_III:
1. Note 10 supports UFS 3.0 storage standard. This storage is faster than iPhone's storage - you can expect absolute speed and smoothness. There is a bunch of apps out there but Samsung has its own utility to transfer all data.

2. So far I experienced, last two lines always gets the newest Androids really quickly. So, up to Note 12, you do not have to be scared of having an old Android.

3. I do not think you need anything to set-up. It works perfectly out of the box. Just ensure you have gmail account and you are good to go. Also, do not forget to try out Dex mode with Linux on Dex - it's a HUGE deal that iPhone really does not have (will not have at least for upcoming 2-3 years).

Regards Jaroslav

I stupidly changed from a Note 9 to an iPhone XS+ just because I wanted the Apple watch 4. I have regretted it every day since! The Apple watch 4 is certainly in a league of its own but it cannot compensate for the loss of my beloved Note 9. I am waiting for the Note 10 with great impatience.

You will find the two OS totally different and also the use of the S-pen makes the Note 10 a mini pocket computer, the things I could do with my Note 9 that I cannot do with the Apple is amazing. Its going to be difficult to change again but oh so worth the learning curve again. I hope I have finally learned my lesson with Apple? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] chetly968:
The updates will be extremely slow but honestly you won't need them as the phone generally runs smoother out if the box than any pixel ever did for me. If you are looking for Android q, expect to have that update start rolling out around february. If you decide to purchase an unlocked Note, you won't get Q til april-ish. I'll also say the pen to me didn't add any functionality for me, that I needed. I do everything I want using my finger. That's why this time I went S10.

Samsung SmartSwitch will copy a lot of things from your iPhone. You install it on the IPhone and run it on the Note. It's been several years since the last time I've done it so not 100% sure what it does and does not copy currently. It will also suggest equivalent Android apps for the ones it finds on the iPhone.

Make sure you read up on how to get signed out of iMessage or you won't be receiving any SMS messages from people on IOS.

Found this on what gets transfered. The USB method looks to be the most complete.

[Android Head-Units] Nightmares Off Road:
Hello, new to forum. I tried searching but I have several questions that I can’t quite pinpoint so decided to just ask.

Recently purchased a cheap Android head unit off eBay for my suburban. Immediately after install I was disappointed and frustrated trying to figure everything out, but now I’m thinking it’s not user error but more of a software issue or a settings issue I’m not familiar with.

I’ll get straight to it.

Once installed I had no sound through Bluetooth, usb, or any installed app (YouTube, Apple Music, etc).

I found that the radio app did work, and after tinkering with some settings I got Bluetooth working (not sure what I did, think I was in the equalizer car settings). Well the next day I drove it for the first time and after a few minutes sound went out again. Switched to radio and works fine. So I did a full factory reset, and now it’s really screwy.

Now, Bluetooth only plays if I open the radio app. Radio does not work at all, the app opens and acts frozen, but if I hit play on my phone I get my music. If I open the Bluetooth app, sound cuts off. Music still shows playing on my phone, and when i reopen the radio app it pauses on the phone, I hit play and sound comes back. Still no sound through YouTube or any other music source, BUT voice turn by turn works through google maps.

I’ve tried doing a factory reset multiple times now (yes the full reset).

I tried downloading a new launcher, started with the carwebguru which resulted for some reason music only playing when the radio app was open, if I went back to the home screen or changed apps sound cut out. So I deleted it and downloaded FCC and it’s back to the way it was, Bluetooth plays through the radio app, and I can now switch back to other apps and music continues playing until I reopen another app that plays sound.

So, does this sound like this is a settings issue, hardware issue, or app issue? If it’s an app issue, what are some good apps to replace them with? I see a ton of fm radio apps but not sure if they’ll work, not really any Bluetooth apps, and I use Apple Music on my iPhone and have it downloaded on the stereo (although it doesn’t have sound, either).

Thanks!
