[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_dude36:
This is all new built in obsolescence crap . They all used to unlock the BL , but then that and replaceable battery disappeared at virtually the same time. So when the phone gets old youre forced to buy a new one . Which as a tactic mystifies me because if you undid those 2 changes alone as I said youd have a cult following the likes of which havent been seen in modern times . That AND youd also be doing something no one else is doing . so what you lose in planned obsolescence update purchases youd probably double in brand loyalty and sheer sales volume .

I just dont get it . Most people arent scuba steve sticking their phone underwater to film a blue whale while kayaking . If youre that worried about water damage if you talk on your phone in the rain alot get insurance .

Ive water damaged one phone I can remember in my 42 years . a samsung t539 beat because I left it on my roof and it fell off in the road then it started raining and was raining went I went back and found it unrunover . So all this ip68 crap is just cover so we cant replace a failed battery in hopes we wont pay for a replacement battery but a new phone instead .
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] KronicSkillz:
How are you forced to buy a new one? I watched someone rip the G8 battery out on youtube and you can pay to get it professionally replaced. When I replaced the battery on my G6 it had a pull tab for the battery, but it still bent the battery to hell and it could have exploded in my face. I took it out of the house because I was worried it was unstable. I honestly think it has more to do with amateurs not knowing what they're doing taking the phone apart and then trying to make warranty claims or fears of a law suit from a battery exploding in someone's face. The bootloader is not LG's choice, with the G6 they purposely sold unlockable versions outside of the carrier contracts. You are taking it way too personally, they don't want the battery to move around after 2 years of a phone getting tossed around and they can't exactly screw it into the phone. With batteries getting better and LG's low current charge option there's a good chance this batter could last 3 years. With the higher capacity it won't need to be charged as often either.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_dude36:
I'm not forced I suppose . You are correct . I just pre ordered a Purism Librem 5 linux phone !! Woohooo Bye spy bricks without removable battery !! Ill miss android but i wont miss manufacturers not listening to their consumer base.

Hardware switches for microphone and camera . Modem only connects to the kernel to make calls , User replaceable battery , 3.5mm jack and best of all Native linux operating system by default.

So long android and manufacturers that dont listen to their customer base .
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Frau Son:
The fact that people are still mad at companies without researching and just... thinking beforehand puzzles me.

Y'all know what you're getting yourself into with buying phones from mainstream manufacturers. It's not news that batteries aren't replaceable, that some variants aren't unlockable, that they're simply trying to get the most profit out of their devices.

Go and buy from a niche-brand if you want everything you listed for a good price. Everyone always praises Oppo and Pocophone or whatever their names are, yet y'all still buy Samsung, Huawei, LG etc and then complain about the most obvious sh*t.

Nothing except for dropping sales will show LG that you're not happy with their business decisions. As if they'd care for a letter in their mailbox written in questionable English... lol
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_dude36:
I agree wholly , if all a company cares about is profit and the serfs will chew up whatever they spit out at them without question than far be it from me to complain I guess. I sent the letter , hopefully someone who makes decisions reads it and has a change of heart . If not? No worries.

I from now on won't be subject to built in google spyware , I will type SU in a terminal for root level permissions , I will change my battery myself when the battery goes bad and I will enjoy the old friend that is linux. I did away with windows because of their hijinx in 2011 and never looked back and now Once again linux is that old rock that allows me to escape dwindling freedoms and longevity extension once again .

I was excited when I got my first android device . I thought it was the future due to the fact you didnt have to grovel to install TWRP and custom roms on most devices and it was a linux fork and it was open source but the device manufacturers and the built in spying have just left a bad taste in my mouth . So be it .

Im now awaiting a device with 3 hardware switches

1 for cellular baseband

1 for wifi and blutooth

and

1 for camera and microphone.

And when you switch all 3 off at the same time ? It goes into lockdown mode and disables power to the remaining sensors on the phone .

I wont have the endless sea of apps anymore but honestly its going to be able to play quake II natively and I dont need my phone to be a seismometer .

There are cons to this decision as well but they are far outweighed by the pros .

So long !! Hope to see some dev support and a thriving community for this device when it drops as it is completely open hardware and can install any linux OS devs want to build for it . I'd be happy to be a monetary contributor to that end . Im sure others would be as well .

Fun fact, I just learned why LG did this, the G8 has a lithium polymer batter that should never need to be replaced, by never i mean in the lifespan of the phone.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thejase:
Lg's phone sales are already abysmal. Which means, not even dropping sales over the years has taught them anything. It's a shame, I really liked LG at one point. I own an op6 and couldn't be happier. By far the best phone I've ever owned. I've had it just over a year and it works like new. I recommend the OP get this phone and be happy.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sumner2q:
I really don't understand how the only companies in the us with a unlock phone and an unlock-able boot loader is one plus and motorola and google to be honest these phones aren't even that great but they give customers the ability to customize the phones and to add the functions they need. It is a shame carriers have taken over the smartphone world in the united states we haven't been able to get a right to repair bill thru congress with would at least give us the ability to unlock our bootloaders and repair damage at a cheaper rate put the lastest custom rom on our phone and use the full feature set of the software and hardware on the device we own. I never finance a device and am starting to feel like all these carriers and companies are taking advantage of us. What was the use of getting rid of the two year contract if we can't tinker with our device and customize it even if it means we loose our warranty.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kowala:
Just to prove your point about customer loyalty...

At the time of this posting, I can buy a used - excellent to very good condition - unlocked LG G8 (only a few months old!) for around $300 on ebay. MSRP is $850. SMH...
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Mate you're completely bonkers, what you want from a phone is stuff that most people don't know or care about. Ask a random person on the street what they think of LG's bootloader unlock policy and they'll have no idea what you mean.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DryEagle:
For the record, I am never buying a phone that isn't ip68 again since using waterproof samsungs for a couple years. This is MUCH more valuable than an easily removable battery, to me. So stop asking companies to take away waterproofing - most of them don't do it anyway.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhaleWithWings:
Hey if you're in contact with them, let someone know this XDA lurker didn't get the amazing deal of $400 for the G8 on Amazon on black Friday because of no custom ROMs.

Yeah, with the database changes mentioned here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/magisk-google-pay-gms-17-1-22-pie-t3929950

The thread has quite a few options for running the commands including a magisk module.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JujuYuki:
Haven't gotten it to work even with those database tweaks (and yes, I did make it read only too, magisk hide activated and even trying to switch it off and back on on boot doesn't help, and magisk manager is hidden as random app name). It did work fine in P, but no luck in Q on my side. :(

will this effect internal data???

Internal storage? No

edit: right answer #9
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Gueztar:
Its not just wipe data or internal storage, they are different. You need to format data option to remove that decryption problem. Dont worry soon after flash descendants and booting ur device will be back decrypted.

This like descendants are having different encryption protocols than miui, aex, pe which can be flashed without need of format data.

Ofc you will lose ur data in internal storage when you do format data. Backup first.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] guzado:
Can you tell me exactly how to do that? I just found wipe options on TWRP...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Gueztar:
Im sure that there's "Format Data" option inside Wipe menu. Click that and then type "yes" to confirm. When its done, reboot twrp > flash the rom.

Hi all.

I've searched everywhere and as yet I have found NO way to INCREASE the volume during an incoming-call. Even with the scroll wheel on the side full up maximum, the volume I feel should be at least 50% higher.
