[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveJustSteve:
Thank you for your help. I had a rooted phone, but a friend did it for me. Now I have a S8 active on Pie and from my research the bootloader I have (V5) is not rootable. I'm definitely not well versed in Android though and could be wrong. That's why I was wondering if there was a device that offered full control without the need and rick of rooting. If there's not, could you suggest one that is perhaps the simplest and least risky to root? I don't need top of the line, I don't game or anything and would be fine with getting something used. thanks again!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhythm_dx:
Luckily, there is a way in stock Android to control permissions! I forgot about it when I was typing my previous response. Here's an overview: https://www.howtogeek.com/355257/can-you-control-specific-permissions-on-android/ Hope that does what you're looking for.

If you want to do more with a rooted phone like block ads, there are some that are easily rootable, like the Google Pixel series. Here are a few options: https://www.androidcentral.com/best-phone-rooting-and-modding I liked the Pixel 2XL I used through my previous job, and I've heard good things about the other Pixels, for what that's worth. I haven't tried the other phones in that link, but the OnePlus phones have an excellent reputation.

There are many other phones that have varying degrees of difficulty for rooting, but I'm not aware of any relatively recent ones not on that list that I'd consider easy to root. I've found that the best approach to finding a new phone is going to GSM Arena's Phone Finder to put on my criteria, then coming back to XDA and searching through the forums to find out whether my prospective phone of choice has root yet. As you've discovered with your S8, some phones just never get there, which is pretty frustrating.

I hope that helps! Holler if you have any other questions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveJustSteve:
Well, that's my main issue, you can only control certain permissions there. When I click "all permissions" I can see them all, but not turn them off. It's just a bummer that one has to go thru all this rigmarole to control a device they supposedly own. I was hoping maybe someone made a device that you could control stock, but I guess that was wishful thinking. Thanks again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You must distinguish between Android OS itself and the apps that run on it: Android OS has no permissions you can invoke/revoke, only hardware/OS specific settings can be made there, but permissions can be granted/withdrawn from an app - if its developer has allowed the latter. To change the permissions of an app basically no rooted Android is required, this is done either via Android->Settings or via a 3rd-party APK editor.

BTW: It exist 3rd-party apps that can show you what apps are sending/receiving data over Internet.

Hint: Use your Android phone without Google. :D

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ashiq.makkar:
copying all the photos and videos takes so much time. is there a easier way to do this??
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] amn1987:
With ADB running in a terminal(with admin privileges) type "adb pull /sdcard", without the quotes ofc. This is supposed to copy over all the contents of your internal storage to the folder where ADB is located. I haven't tried it personally though.

Another way is to use a fast microSD .It would be much faster than wired as Poco is limited to just USB 2.0.

If you are on MIUI you can use Wifi (in 5GHz mode) for file transfer over FTP or even Wireless ADB. It should be faster than over USB as it operates at full 867Mpbs in MIUI whereas in many AOSP custom ROMs Wifi is limited to a max. 144Mbps only.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ashiq.makkar:
I'm on a custom rom.is there a way to get faster wifi speed ? thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] amn1987:
No unless the devs fix it. If its fixable at all. In Pie ROMs as well the same issue.

Do keep in mind that unless your 4G speeds are really high 144Mbps won't be much of a bottleneck for internet sharing.

Its really an issue when it comes to local file transfers or backups as it could potentially be even faster than transfers over USB. In my old Redmi Note 3 I used to get 30-32MBps over its 1x1 433Mbps connection. Poco has a 2x2 867Mbps one which is enabled in MIUI and reportedly OOS ports. However this is no reason to either of the two!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Questions & Answers] 15brutus:
I've scoured the internet for every forum thread or article I could find on this issue, and I've tried many of their fixes as well as my own. I own an unlocked S10 lite North American variant. So far the only app I have found that doesn't perform properly is Snapchat, and the issue is only with sending messages, not receiving or viewing them. Messages will sit on "waiting to send..." until I turn off WiFi and go back to data, after which they will immediately send. This is a really big issue for me as I use Snapchat very often as my main mode of communication for most of my friends and family. Luckily I have unlimited data, I'd be screwed if I didn't. If anyone needs or wants more info I'll be more than happy to provide it. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, they'd be much appreciated, I've been dealing with this problem for about a week now and it's really starting to bug me.

Edit: I'd also like to state that this issue has been happening for me since I bought the phone brand new last week. I have not done any modifications such as rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Questions & Answers] ammarvora:
Go to settings and search for Wi-Fi control and in that check for Snapchat, it is allowed or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Questions & Answers] 15brutus:
Snapchat is allowed under Wi-Fi control settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Questions & Answers] ammarvora:
Its proper then. Don't know this is weird. Did you try it with any other Wi-Fi connection?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Questions & Answers] 15brutus:
I have two routers in my home... It seems to only happen when I'm connected to a 5g router, 2.4Ghz works just fine as far as I can tell.

Edit: I stayed on my 2.4ghz router and now snapchat is acting up again after about 40 minutes, however it was functioning correctly until that point.

I think we should move all the general faq into the main menu (as you have printed above) and then group them together somehow.

I can get to the boot menu, which offers recovery/fastboot/normal. Recovery gets me to a dead android/red triangle screen. I'm stumped from there. I've tried various button combos but it just reboots after a few minutes. The boot menu doesn't offer any reset options. I can also hold power/vol up/vol down and get to meta mode.

I have the SDK/platform tools but they expect a running OS to do anything.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Except LG V60 (allegedly flagship phone!) only has 1080p vs the QHD 1440p all LG flagship phones have had for years. I've had 1440p since 2014 Moto Quark and I'm NOT downgrading. :rolleyes:

They did that for the stupid dual display gimmick, so resolution would match on both screens. Give me ONE good screen. I don't want two.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Cubicle:
I use the HDMI out & MiraCast (not ChromeCast) on my V30 frequently. So I'd be looking for phones that could do both of those.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Arcide:
I see the 60Hz being a bigger fail. I got a Realme X2 Pro after my LG V30 and I'd take 1080p 90Hz over a 1440p 60Hz any day. Not to mention that this panel looks better than what my LG looked like with a grainy display (that honestly didn't bother me at all at the time, but this one looks much clearer).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Well that too. In 2020 for flagship phone you need 1440p and more than 60Hz. Even the OnePlus Pro (which has so much stuff removed -- like headset jack, no microSD card) has 1440p and more than 60Hz.

I make fun of OnePlus for their misleading lies but in this one case they are giving better display than LG.

It depends on what aspects of LG V30 you liked and stuff that you didn't like.

Anyone hear about motorola one fusion plus?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] gimpy1:
Well, I'm a Verizon customer. The two I have been looking at on their website are the one plus 8 (they don't offer the pro) and the LG v60. Pluses and cons for both. The LG is about $50 more, so in the end, that might be the deciding factor. But, I'm not looking too seriously right now. It will still probably be awhile before I get a new one.

These are the two "flag ship" phones I have been looking at. Not really looking at the Motorola razor or the Samsung ones as they are both quite a bit more costly.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
If you wait until next year -- after December 31, 2020 -- Verizon will drop CDMA and be LTE only. At that point, it might not matter so much if it's a "Verizon" phone or just a carrier unlocked phone.

For instance, the

2020 VERIZON Galaxy Galaxy S20 doesn't have a microSD card

while all other variants (including Samsung's official carrier unlocked) does have microSD card. Why doesn't Verizon's? Allegedly because Verizon's 5G antennas are too bulky -- so they had to save space somewhere. But you STILL need a special case for the Verizon Galaxy S20, as it's not the same size as other carrier S20, even without microSD slot! Verizon also dropped RAM from 12GB to 8GB Did AT&T drop the microSD card and reduce RAM? They use the exact same flavor 5G as Verizon... Or is it because (for now) Verizon has CDMA, LTE, and G5 antennas? Well, next year they won't. :p

Also don't be swayed by 5G claims. "mmWave" with higher frequencies -- the variant Verizon and AT&T are building out -- is aptly named. It basically can't even pass through a mm of glass window. :rolleyes: T-mobile is building out lower frequency 5G which travels for longer distances but is like 200mbps instead of 500mbps. Still fast enough!

Point is, I don't care about 5G since it is going to drain battery life.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Caffination:
Verizon has a long storied history of procuring nerfed versions of smartphones, unfortunately. It's one of the many reasons I walked away from them. Great signal; horrible everything else.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Ditto. And they're also well known for lying and saying a phone won't work or isn't allowed on their network, even though you can take an activated SIM and drop it in with no problem (eg, my V30 H931 (originally) which runs fine with VS996 installed).

This is why I switched to Total Wireless. They don't play the dumb IMEI game that VZ does, you save money, and you still get VZ towers.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ibnturab:
I totally agree and hate when carriers play games with updates . Android Manufacturers allowed carriers to rename and modify their smartphones and software, which was a mistake from the beginning. I dislike Apple, but i have to hand it to them when it came to their devices. None of the carriers could modify the software or hardware in any way. This meant that their devices performed exactly the way they were intended to, and software development was only under their direct control.
