[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Edvin73:
After a big update like from Oreo to Pie is always very advisable to factory reset the phone. You'll be surprised. ;)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] carlaron:
surprised of how awfull it is to restore an android phone?

there are so many apps (like home banking) that are linked to the phone and cannot be backed up... I try to avoid that. But I guess it is time to switch to Samsung S10 soon :) was hoping to wait a little longer till the prices go down.....

but the pie update also seems to drain my battery even faster. what a mess :(
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Edvin73:
Well, the battery drain is just another reason to factory reset and it's kinda ironic that you'll have to set your new phone anyway.I told you to factory reset because I solved a lot of problems on my phones through the years after major updates. It's not mandatory but very advisable. At the end it's your phone and your will to do it and set it again. :cool:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] carlaron:
it is probably what I have to d. but it sure makes it easier to move away from a 15 month old phone.... I just didn't expect LG pushing me away. I was loyal for some time, and I really think this is one of the most beautiful phones of its time; but it sure does not perform well (anymore).

is there any "small" cache reset that will not delete everything?

in case it is interesting for someone:

Last SOT test from a few days ago (before the update) was 4:45 with normal use, mostly indoors, which is not great, but good enough, since I use my phone alot and sometimes charge 2-3 times a day.

will try a regular test with pie in a few days, but I am too busy to have it under similar conditions...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Emu:
This. It's a new UI and UX, clean install is not difficult thanks to Google backup. I will definitely do a clean install.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] carlaron:
a clean install is actually difficult; (as well as to switching to other brand phones)

- my messaging apps loose all there messages (some have manual backup)

- banking apps loose there unique keys -> need to be reauthorized with the bank

- two factor auth apps need to carefully be restored

...

of course if you have a few plain games that are cloud synced, this does not matter; but if you actually use the phone it is not so easy to restore all data; (especially ensuring that nothing of importance gets lost)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] sanctitude888:
I will go as far as wipe cache partition i/o factory reset. Every phone has it flaws at some point.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] carlaron:
sure.

its just bad that there is not a streamlined backup method; LGs "mobile switch" is a mess, and gets stuck regularly on messaging apps with many files(?)

best results with preinstalled apps was actually with Huawei/honor; they seem to work quite well (but I don't like there aggressive power management)

I don't like to reset a phone before I have everything setup in a different phone (2 factor etc...) because I would hate to loose data and money.

so now I either get a cheap crap phone; or another LGV30 (cheap as hell at the moment, but getting old), or a new samsung, which I didn't plan on before autumn and new phones released....
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Emu:
I had the same struggles you have. :laugh:

Ultimately I had to give up and switch back to Android Messenger. It backs up all messages. For 2-factor authentication I use Authy so it can restore my codes from the cloud. But you are correct, I use Android on my Chromebook and setup a 2nd two factor method (email) in my accounts before I reset my phone. I'm annoyed by games, I had to restart so many already even though Google Play Games promises to save the progress. Hope you find another way.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
This is pretty much mandatory on any device. When flashing a new OS zip in TWRP, it's always a clean install. 7-8 and 8-9.

Even if not rooted and take an OTA, you either have to let the update settle or just factory reset. I've seen MANY people throughout the years on XDA complain about the newest OS version.

The general reply will always be factory reset.

---------- Post added at 04:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 AM ----------

You are very misinformed here. 2factor will just send you a text. If you are that worried, turn it off till you setup the device again.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] carlaron:
I have severa websites that are set up to use 2 factor authentification. If I delete the app before I remove 2factor on those sites or set it up new, I am looked out.

If I loose the key to interpret the text correctly I am ****ed

Where am I misinformed? elaborate
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] carlaron:
I noticed that the PIE update fixed issues with the camera; that pictures would not get saved, when closing the app (too fast) after taking a picture.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
And we told you to stop doing that. ;) The fix for that was to leave the camera open in the background, until the camera finished its process.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/help/lg-v30-photos-saving-quick-exit-camera-t3894278

You were taking a picture and immediately force closing the camera before the HDR function could finish.

You also complained about the January update to AOD.

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------

You are misinformed because pretend this is a new phone you are setting up.

How would you go about that? You would use the same two factor authentication on the new phone. You can't say two factor authentication wouldn't work on new phone or nobody could ever get a new phone...

Plus, there are SMS Backup and restore apps. WhatsApp has cloud backup if you turn it on Many messaging apps like Hangouts sync across different devices.

If you're rooted, there's TWRP and Titanium Backup -- where you can restore data to ALL apps.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
1) I use Nova launcher and periodically export configuration backups to Gmail or Google Drive. You can also store them on your device, like microSD card. At any point in time, on this phone or another, then you can download and restore those home screens/desktops. I have 5 screens with apps arranged by most use (home screen), spreading out then by categories.

2) A little too late now, but Google also makes backups of your home screen configuration and when you Factory Reset your phone or buy a new phone, and you first sign in, Google will ask if you wish to restore that most recent configuration remembered from your most recent device. However, by this point in time, Google has now backed up the "new" Pie configuration you do not want. This is why you should have factory reset at the very beginning.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Mrxyzl:
So... No one mentioned LG backup here? I find it suprisingly good

I used previous Oneplus devices like 5t and 6t. And did root and used for almost 2 years. And I loved that feel. :)

Recently I brought op7pro 12gb variant.

After one day, I thought to root and install Havoc OS.

So, I followed root method for op7pro. After fastboot boot <image>

I wiped all the partitions like, system, vendor, data, internal etc...,

After the reboot. I am unable to boot my phone.

Not even I can go to fastboot to install stock ROM. Anyhelp? :confused:

I made mistake by wiping system partition.

Then you have to use msm tool to recover and it locks your bootloader.

Hi guys. my kaiser was working fine on saturday gone, but then at the middle of the day i wanted to make a call I found a message saying (PHONE NOT ALLOWED MM #6). I done a soft reset and a hard reset and no joy. does anyone knows what that message means. cus at the moment its like the pda has no phone capabilities. no reception no mms no txt no data. and i tried other different sim cards and still no joy. PLEASE HELP !!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sbirsen:
This appears when the operator is blocking your phone (at least for me that was the case when I was using my UK phone over holiday in Turkey with my Turkish SIM). In some countries operators require you to register the phone with your operator to be able to use it with a local SIM if you've brought in from abroad etc.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] markods:
I'm considering upgrading to s8 but I have a couple of question:

how's the performance, smoothness and battery life on oneui
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sheenswizner:
If your switching to S8 its totally good experience and you feel big change but it's getting older by the way. Battery life is below average and in my opinion it's not good at present in 2019 if you compare with other current year smartphones. Fingerprint reader in the back really badly placed.

If you are not a heavy user like gamer than go for galaxy s8 no issues at all.

Design, quality, performance and specially dolby atmos added recently which is great and worth!

At the end it's 2 years old device. Choice is yours.

I prefer you to put little more bucks and buy galaxy s9.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] caveman_bob:
Having had a S7 that blew up on my 3 months in (Thanks Samsung), I bought a S8 a short time later. Performance is good ( I can run 2005 DOOM 3 via mod ) and I think battery life is still reasonable, I periodically plug it in throughout the day. Honestly I don't feel any urge for another phone while this one is working. But given life spans you may want to consider a new one like the other guy mentioned

Glad to read that the development of our Schubert isn't dead:D
[Huawei MediaPad M5  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] vecna:
Not sure about that :) Seems barren in terms of real development. But in this case stock is a very good base, and in terms of memory usage very competitive with LOS, so in this case do not miss real open source code for the device.

The TWRP for our device is not great, and thats something i will get hands dirty fixing.

Any chance you could upload few pictures to show us how pc mode looks on smaller device, and will ever update your rom to 9.0?

Yes sure will get a few screenshots out.

Will update to 9 when the dev community ( LP, Xposed, and all the other projects ) catches up.

At the moment we are prob a year away. ( Xposed barely works on EMUI 8 ).

Fenris is not your normal developers rom, its not about the latest version or untested beta code. Its about providing a stable platform for "alternative" open source code projects focused on Penetration testing, and pushing the boundaries.

any chance you could tell us how to activate desktop mode on stock rom ?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] vecna:
Are you rooted with the TWRP mentioned in the post ?

If not not much point in going further, plus its not an easy job mate, you good at messing around with your internal files ? Permissions and selinux contexts ? Edify script ? If so then you prob could do it. Otherwise best not even start.

Yes, I unlocked bootloader months ago and I have root.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solvathus:
Hi there,

I am trying to install an unofficial LineageOS V 13.0 to this tablet

I got some issues with TWRP, i followed some instruction videos.

I downloaded TWRP for the tablet : https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytab2wifiunified.html

I opened odin and i went to the odin screen on the tablet ( power + vol - ) I Selected the .tar file at the AP section of Odin.

The installation was succesfull.

Now for entering the TWRP , ihave to press power + volume + buttom right? If i do that i get the boot screen from the tablet and i enter the android recovery ( the android on hes back, belly open with a red ! inside ) But it won't boot TWRP.

Any suggestions?

Bricked it???

Ok, so I installed the twrp311-20180416-BIGSYS.zip onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5110. Since reboot back into recovery, the tablet has effectively bricked completely... doesn't turn on at all. It had 70+% power at time of install but nothing doing. It doesn't even register that it's plugged into the charger (ie no charging indicators). Have I truly bricked this old bad boy???

Any direction or help towards a fix greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android-Andi:
Bigsys.zip?

You sure you used the right recovery for your variant?

If not you might have bricked your tablet... Some other devices have a different partition layout (e.g recovery partition where we have our efs partition) which could brick a device if it's not made for that device.

For p31xx and p51xx you can get twrp also as .tar.md5 for Odin here: http://andi34.github.io/recoveries_tab2.html

I managed to go back to stock, by doing this:

Go to here, and download boot, system and recovery images (N-boot.img, N-recovery.img, N-system.img

Put watch on cradle, and boot in fastboot mode (during boot, swipe from top left to bottom right corner)

Assuming you have all drivers installed, type following commands in cmd or terminal :

fasboot flash boot N-boot.img

fastboot flash system N-system.img

fastboot flash recovery N-recovery.img

fastboot reboot

First boot take a while...

later, if you want to lock bootloader, type in fastboot

"fastboot oem lock" (this will erase all user data)

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mott3:
Hello, everybody,

I've already searched a lot, but never found a similar problem, so I'm making a new thread.

My Moto G3 doesn't boot anymore. Previously it was charging overnight. The cable wasn't plugged properly into the socket and the phone didn't charge. After I charged it with another cable it didn't boot anymore. Instead it now boots to the screen with the message "Android is booting".

Waiting a long time hasn't changed anything. But I get into bootloader and recovery mode. The Moto G3 is not rooted. The bootloader is locked. Apparently USB debugging is disabled, I can't find it via ADB even though the latest USB drivers are installed on my PC. But using fastboot I can see the phone.

There is an SD card in the phone which is used as internal memory. I want to save the data, so I haven't tried a factory reset yet. Can you help me?

What I already tried: wiping cache, booting without SD and / or SIM card.

Info shown in bootloader:

Product: Osprey XT1541 16GB P2B

Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0

Software Status: Official.

I'm happy with every support.
