[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Tag49:
Hi,

I recently noticed a mark on the screen. It's only visible with light colours (especially white, with black the mark is not visible at all).

View attachment 4838873

I did not find any similar case on the forum or the internet.

It looks like when AMOLED display are burned (like in JerryRigEverything videos).

But, it's LCD panel here...

From this video https://youtu.be/zuq2uPAEmeM?t=211 , the mark seems to be at the same level than this "copper bottom circle" :

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] h4x0rm1k3:
I've got a very similar 'stain' that is most noticable on a white background but never looked in to why it is so would be interested to find out what it is too! Not that it bothers me much and in fact apart from that it's an A grade phone as no scratches etc but as it had the stain it was reduced to C grade price so I only paid £90 for it which was a bargain!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lecorbusier:
I think the stain is glue and the spot on screen is caused by pressure. Hotspits can also cause such effects.

There were flat tvs, where the heat of the two SoCs on the mainboard (the second one was necessary for motion compensation, in single core days) would cause two squares appear on screen after the tv had warmed up.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mocelet2000:
I've just noticed a very similar stain in the same position in my LG G6. Lucky enough the two years warranty ends in two weeks haha, so it's already at the store and I hope they get it fixed soon.

All praise and All thanks to God:)

Sometimes you are not able to install gapps or other zips from TWRP due to small size of system image.

Here are the steps to increase/decrease the system image size

1. Boot to TWRP and connect your phone through usb cable.

2. unmount system from TWRP

3. commands to execute:

adb shell

e2fsck -f /dev/block/by-name/system

resize2fs /dev/block/by-name/system 4G (Increasing size of system image size to 4gb, you can use any number you want, for example 2500M for 2500mb)

4. Mount the system in TWRP , now you have 4gb system image. check it by:

df system

5. Try installing the gapps or zip again. Done

Refer: https://linux.die.net/man/8/resize2fs

After many tears I finally got archlinux working under LinuxOnDex!

ScreenShot! imgur.com/a/0V0oVHj

[IMG="Screen Shot"]https://i.imgur.com/QzPYX6l.jpg[/IMG]

The image file was initially like 400mb but in the process of getting it to work I added gcc and many other stuff that made it grow like to almost 2 Gb, but it is still smaller than official ubuntu xenial image.

Here is the download link for those that would like to test it:

Also for anyone interested I uploaded to GitHub some initial shell scripts that I wrote while trying to generate a working image. They need more work to automate the entire process since I discovered lot of stuff while working on this but they serve as a guidance for future work and to others that want to generate their own distro images.

Link it up with a bluetooth reciever and BAM! It's done.

Already use mine like that.

High end remote - the IR transmitter is pretty weak (compared to my old palm TX, which worked great as a remote). For the wizard I'd have to line it up with the TV's receiver and stand about 4 feet away - at which point I ask myself "Why Can't I walk the remaining four feet and change it myself?".

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Herox:
This is not a complaint or a problem requiring fixing, but some curiosity. Does anyone else's phone lie about how long till full? Last night it said 10 minutes till full at 96%. I looked away for maybe 2 minutes and it was 100% charged. I thought maybe the battery could need to be drained and recalibrated but no, it drained normally. Took like 5-10 minutes of facebook scrolling to go down maybe 1%. Used it down to 35% today at work listening to spotify and playing games on my breaks. This was probably 96%-35% over almost 10 hours, so I don't think I have a battery problem, it just does not display eta of the charge correctly?

The reasoning behind all this is I'm trying to practice good Li-Ion health and not charge it fully. I usually get it to around 95% and unplug it. I don't charge it all night, and give it a boost on the way into work in the car. Im using the PD 2.0 fast charger it came with at home, but a older Samsung fast charger in the car from the S8 era.

Hi guys. I have recently updated my pixel 3 to android 10 and wow tons of bugs.

Now my notification is not showing. My home button is not working in any gesture mode, same as my multi task button. The only thing working is the back button. Not to mention the update failed 2 times earlier (stuck on google logo.)

I am planning to sue google for selling goods with manufacture defects. The same thing other people did with pixel 1 years ago. Any one wants to join. I have a membership with a lawsuit service so want to try to use it for at least once this year.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] wcaudle:
My Pixel 3 is running beautifully. No issues what so ever. Have you performed a full reset and installed the factory image? Booted in safe mode to see if one of your apps is causing the issue? Love how there are so many people on the Sue wagon. No wonder the courts are so full of crap.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TabFreak:
Having a membership in a lawsuit service says a lot about you. I have had my Pixel 3 since launch and it has worked flawlessly since the day I purchased it.

I would suggest a factory reset and then install the factory image then add one app at a time untill you find the offenders.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sic0048:
Sounds like you were too impatient with the first two attempts at upgrading. It can take quite a long time sometimes for the phone to completely update itself and optimize the apps. The more apps you have, the longer it will take. Stopping this update process will cause all kinds of issues with your phone - the type of issues that you describe now.

Best bet would be to do a full wipe and installation of Android 10. This means losing all of your data, but it will fix your issues.

The root of your problem is not a hardware issue - it's user error.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] ChongoDroid:

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] haotingliu1990:
I don't know what is happening here on this thread. When a phone manufacturer crushes your phone with an update and tells you that they don't have a good backup method and the only way to save your phone is to factory reset it and lost most of your data. Then the people here just say, then do it.

This phone sells 880 tax included not 699 as oneplus 7 pro. (Besides, that phone is the one more like 880 worth)

I hope all these people will face problem one day and told by the customer service that a specialist will contact them who won't show up no matter how long they wait.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jsauder2:
Hi, haotingliu1990.

I, like the rest of the people who have posted, have not had the negative experience that you are having, nor do I want part in a lawsuit. Also like others, would recommend wiping your phone and starting fresh. You mentioned that there no backup solutions but there actually are quite a few...

1. Google's built in back up and sync. This will take care of apps that support it, sms, wifi networks, and maybe a few other things (wallpaper, settings, etc. I don't remember all).

2. An app like titanium backup. That will cover any app and it's data that you need it to.

3. An app like sms backup and restore to, obviously, backup and restore your sms.

4. Google photos will automatically sync your pictures to the web so they don't get lost.

5. Some apps have a built in backup feature so you can export the settings to your storage.

6. Plug your phone into your computer and back up anything from your internal storage.

You can use a combo of those options and keep everything you need. As a note, multiple of those are provided directly by Google, so I doubt arguing that Google provides no backup support will get you very far.

Once you've backed up what you need, it's easy to start clean. You can either use the stock recovery to preform a factory reset, or, if your bootloader is unlocked, use the factory images (that Google provides).

As the rest of the people commenting don't seem to be experiencing what you are, it's a safe assumption that starting fresh would take care of your issues. Let me know if you'd like help. I have before and am willing to again, help someone one-on-one through the update/backup/install process to make sure it works for you.

I'm trying to get GMail dark theme working on my rooted XZ1C. I'm currently on Android 8, but it sounds like official Google support for dark GMail is only for Android 10:

https://twitter.com/gmail/status/1181600018316320773

So I figure since I'm rooted, there must be a workaround. Well, there is, but it requires Xposed:

https://repo.xposed.info/module/com.alex193a.gmdtenabler

I do not currently have Xposed installed and I remember back when I was rooting (with J4nn's tools), there were issues with Xposed and this phone that resulted in bootloops. I didn't find anything that indicates this was ever resolved.

Anyone have any ideas on how to either get GMail dark theme or Xposed? Apparently, all that is required to force GMail into enabling the dark theme menu item is modifying an XML file FlagPrefs.xml (which I've already done) and tricking the OS to report API >= 29 (that's what the Xposed module does).
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dean F:
If you are rooted, then just use substratum theme engine. Personally I used swift dark. You can get swiftdark as a standalone app too.

Personally i did not enjoy having to update all the overlays for each update of an app, which is the case with custom overlays.. The Outlook app has dark theme, and supports Gmail, so I'm using this now.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] camaro322hp:
[MENTION=7725478]Dean F[/MENTION] - Thanks for the reply. I've been avoiding substratum/swift because I read some people were unhappy with it's level of bugginess, but it may be my best option now that Google has decided to give everyone <10 the middle finger. Is there a quick tutorial somewhere that you recommend to get me going with that? Does Swift standalone app run standalone, or does it require the substratum framework?

I had previously tried Outlook as well, but their Wear OS integration is REALLY bad - they block standard Outlook notifications from going to the watch, and they force you to load a standalone Wear OS Outlook app that has weird, non-standard behavior that I really dislike. But maybe it's time for me to try that again as well.

I was just hoping to get Gmail working since it has a good email experience in my opinion and having a native dark theme is always preferable to me over a 3rd party implementation. I'm so close to getting it working, yet so far away. I was really hoping someone could come up with another way to do what that Xposed module does...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] wyt18:
swift dark works well standalone (no substratum needed) on stock roms. just download from the play store

i haven't had any issues with it so far, except that there can be a 1-2 day delay before the themes react to third party app updates, and that when updating roms, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the themes to get them working. very happy with the black themes on swift dark though. they're amoled black (unlike google's dark mode) and much more consistent between apps than google's own themes are
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] camaro322hp:
Is there anything else required to get Swift to work standalone? I purchased the Swift Black (not dark - does that matter?) and when I start up the app, it wants me to install substratum theme engine. So I installed that, but that app won't run - when I start it, it crashes and Android tells me "subtratum keeps stopping." Is there something I'm missing or doing incorrectly?

EDIT: well, maybe I bought the wrong app - I bought Swift Black Substratum theme. Maybe I need to instead buy Swift Installer?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] wyt18:
my bad, i actually bought swift installer and that worked perfectly w/o the substratum theme engine installed. didn't try the swift black or dark substratum themes
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] camaro322hp:
No worries - I got a refund on the Swift Substratum theme, and I'll try the Swift Installer. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] camaro322hp:
Thanks [MENTION=7725478]Dean F[/MENTION] and [MENTION=500933]wyt18[/MENTION] - I've got the Swift Installer installed and set up. It looks promising. I don't auto update my apps and rarely update them anyway, so hopefully this will work out well for me.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] camaro322hp:
Swift is pretty great - easy to use and seems to work well so far. Also gave me dark theme for pretty much all the apps I regularly use. The only thing missing, however, is changing the email body to be light text on a dark background - emails still show up with dark text on a white background. I'm assuming the only way to get that is via the official app dark theme, which I can't get. Is there any workaround for this?

EDIT: I'm giving Outlook another try. Aside from the weird WearOS notification issues, it seems to work OK. And it inverts the colors of the email body itself, making it light text on a dark background.
