That would be interesting to hear. Polywatch conatins a light abrasive and disolves the plastic to a certain degree hence rounding and filling scratches. I may try it on my scratches in my screen protector and see if it changes touch sensibility or accuracy. Worst case scenario is I have to fit my spare screen protector.

I have a hairline scratch and a one a tiny bit deeper i can feel with the stylus. It is kinda annoying because its in the center. Does the toothpaste trick reall work? If not, any other solutions. Need help ASAP.

Thanks.

I got a scratch on my screen that was just about deep enough to feel when the stylus goes over it and was quite visible, i put a screen protector over the top and now i can't see it unless i look really hard

Hmmm...Tried the banana thing without a banana (only used the colgate and microfiber cloth) and nothing really seemed to have happened just that now my fingerprints remain on the screen even more easily.

Maybe not worth trying without a banana? Might be the reason.:confused:

I tried banana method as instructed.

But Not working :( Is there anyone who tried brasso?? I'm little bit afraid to apply brasso...help plz........
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] nonentity:
i wouldn't suggest brasso if i didn't try it.. it works for me.. just remember not to press too hard when you are applying the brasso, as brasso is like a micro fine sandpaper..

i got this idea when i sent my old rolex for servicing.. as it has some hairline scratches on the plastic surface, they used brasso to clean it..

then again, the risk is yours to take..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] murad12s:
Thanks for your reply :) IS it MR. Brasso or only Brasso??

I have this one. LOL

Can u plz locate the product on the ebay or web?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] nonentity:

it is Brasso metal polisher..

Im trying to install a fresh ROM and keep getting an error.

What am I missing? any insight is greatly appreciated.

ThANKS IN ADVANCE
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] neo_lithic3K:
I don't know if any of these will work but here are some things you can try:

1) Make sure you are on the latest sdk. I think latest is 30.0.4. Looks like you're using v30.0.0?

2) Try using adb -s ### sideload ***.zip. The ### is the the device id you get from adb devices. -s directs the command towards your phone instead of the offline emulator.

3) Try running adb sideload from the path where the zip is located rather than using quotes to include the entire long path. In other words: adb sideload Aosip***.zip. You may have to add the path to platform tools into your environment variables or include the path to adb in the command.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bignu77:
Its kind wierd, it only happens while trying to ADB sideload in the custom Boot.img (lineage, Aosip, etc)

but i have no problem flashing the boot.img vis bootloader.

Thanks for the response.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dragynbane222:
I don't think you're supposed to sideload a boot.img. usually the rom zips will install them as part of the install process
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bignu77:
My bad, I worded that wrong it only happens once in the custom recovery and try to ADB sideload the rom, i get that error.

Fastboot boot.img via bootloader works fine.

My trouble starts one in custom recovery and it shows "emulator-5554". Please see attachment.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bradical711:
The computer is telling you what the error is. In fact adb tried to flash the ROM twice two different ways and still displayed the same error. "More than one device/emulator". The connection fails because you have another device/emulator/something connected to your computer that adb recognizes. Adb states that too. Adb will not flash to more than one device so you have to find what that thing is. Try removing things you have connected to your computer or the emulator, whatever it is, because we don't know. Or try what the other guy said, specifically method #2. You never replied wether or not you tried that specifically. That could work. One other thing, are you in the custom recovery selecting "apply update from adb/whatever it is" and trying to sideload it? Otherwise make sure to update the sdk too because we don't know if you actually tried that either. :confused:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bignu77:
Thanks for clearing that up.

The only other thing connected it the cordless mouse reciever.

I also did update sdk platform. as shown in the attached. Yes i am trying to apply update from adb and then sideload command I also tried typing the specific file name instead of the whole path.

It only happens in adb mode. Flashing via fastboot works fine with no emulator error.

Ive been flashing for months using the standard adb method with no hiccups. Now im getting this error:rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bignu77:
SOLVED

I found it!! It was a game my kids downloaded that had a built emulator that causing the hiccup! Back to gold, thanks guys!!:good::highfive::D

Hi all,

Having problems, and Orange UK have so far been less than useful... When trying to check emails or go on the 'net, obviously my Tytn II logs onto a data connection - GPRS, 3G or HSPDA depending on where I am in the country. However, the handset won't send or receive any data - webpages (including the Orange World one) come up with an error that they couldn't be located, and emails (from a couple of different accounts/ servers) won't download.

Short of hard resetting the handset, what fixes are there?

...mmm.... looking at the Orange UK WM6.1 thread... Maybe I'll try that, see if it fixes it...

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheCoryGuy:
Hi!

I have a VS996 with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP. I went from stock, did a full wipe (Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache), and tried flashing Havoc-OS (Android 10) and had issues with connecting to Wifi. So I went back to JohnFauxes VS996 flashable and now I don't have data or a working camera. Not sure what's going on here. Ideas?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Went from stock what? Stock Oreo, Stock Pie? You have to be on stock Pie to go to LOS-17/Android 10 ROMs. LOS-17 requires LG stock Pie blobs (drivers). Yes, some have Wi-Fi connection issues. There are workarounds.

Went back to JohnFauxes VS996 flashable what? Last Pie, last Oreo? Something in between?

Going from LOS-17 back to stock you will have sensor issues which can be overcome by running in permissive mode. Other ways to overcome it is to Partition DL back to Nougat to scrub the device of all lingering LOS-17 ROM scentk, then upgrade back to newer firmware. If you don't want to do that then you need to run in permissive mode for camera to work.

I don't know what's wrong with your data.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheCoryGuy:
Went from stock Verizon Pie ROM, to Havoc 10 Q. Then from Havoc 10Q to latest John Fauxes Verizon Pie. I'm not sure how to run in permissive mode or the partition DL I'm afraid.

Glad to have you replying. :D My goal is to have Android 10 Q on my wife's Verizon phone. Not sure if the 'call to activate modem' bug still exists, to where you can't receive texts unless you call after reboot.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
* Here's the

Wi-Fi workaround

for V30 LOS-17/Android 10 ROMs.

* Here's how to

change to Permissive mode

, even on stock firmware.

* Yes, LOS-17-based ROMs (Android 10) still have the

Verizon reboot bug.

< There's the current V30 LOS-17 based/Android 10 ROMs bug list, and possible workarounds.

(Ignore that in some of those posts they are are calling it Q ROMs. :rolleyes: It's Android 10. Q was merely the beta letter name for what became Android 10, and some people don't want to give that up for some reason. "N" letter beta became Nougat, "O" letter beta became Oreo, "P" letter beta became Pie, "Q" letter beta became... Android 10. Yes, Google ditched the dessert name, but STILL you no longer use the beta letter name when it graduates and gets a statue in the Google Android Park. Call it "10" if you wish, but don't call it "Q." That's like calling a butterfly a "caterpillar". That was just the beta stage of the butterfly!)

____

The major problem you are going to have with V30 Android 10 ROMs is VoLTE -- or rather the lack of it. Read

#5 of the V30 Custom ROMS FAQ

. End of this year -- 2020 -- Verizon is dropping CDMA. They were supposed to do it end of 2019, but delayed a year. I don't see them delaying again. This means when you make a phone call you will not be able to drop down temporarily from 4G LTE to 3G CDMA for the phone call. You will need VoLTE (Voice over LTE) for all phone calls. Stock firmware has this capability. However, no V30 LOS-based custom ROMs have VoLTE for any carriers.

On V30 you can only get VoLTE on stock firmware or custom ROMs built on stock firmware.

This is September 2020. So, while you can use V30 Android 10 ROMs, in about 3 months you will have to go back to at least rooted stock Verizon firmware to get VoLTE.

T-mobile is dropping 3G HSPA in January 2021. Of the major U.S. carriers, 0nly AT&T is holding out. They will drop HSPA in February 2022.

Discussed in depth here:

All U.S. V30/V3O+/V30S will need stock firmware, not LOS-based custom ROMs. When?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheCoryGuy:
Thanks for all the info. So I think I should go for your clean flash method by setting a partition, because I tried the WiFi fix and it forced me into Safe Mode and wouldn't otherwise boot. I think I found a flashable stock Nougat ROM, after which I intend to flash MSM Extended and get that working hopefully. So do I create a new partition in TWRP, use that for Nougat then empty the previous partition, flash Android 10 to it and get rid of Nougat again after that? Never done this before.

And setting permissive mode is done through a separate APK? Your link went to a post talking about how they used an unlinked APK to get camera and flashlight to work.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes, SElinuxModeChanger.apk.

You can get it here

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524485

or here:

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.mrbimc.selinux/

The other ways to change permissive mode is to use a custom kernel that works with stock firmware. This apk solution is easier.

I can't say I'm familiar with that MSM Extended ROM. I do see it listed in the LG V30 Telegram Update channel.

If you found a working flashable stock Nougat ROM (there were two versions floating around -- one that kept TWRP and one that replaced TWRP with stock recovery) which keeps TWRP, then after using that you can flash back to stock Pie with TWRP flashable zip (you need Pie blobs for LOS-17 based ROMs), then install the LOS-17 based ROM/Android 10 ROM of your choice.

I'm confused about your question of creating a new partition. All you will be doing is flashing back to Nougat to ostensibly repair previous LOS-17 effects. Then flashing back to stock Pie firmware, then flashing your choice of LOS-17 based ROM.

The only people who create new partitions are those who want to use GSI (Treble) ROMs. Those ROMs are inferior and rely upon a user-created "Treble" partition since V30 never had official Treble. Those GSI ROMs lack many stock V30 features which "regular" LOS-based ROMs have.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheCoryGuy:
I'm hoping I found the Nougat ROM that keeps TWRP here. When you mentioned "Partition DL back to Nougat" I took that as me needing to create a partition somewhere. Also I did indeed find MSM Extended on the Telegram Channel here.

All's I know is I need to get my wife's phone working before I go to bed (night shift), else she's gonna kick my ass for wiping it in the first place thinking I could just pop Android 10 on there. Ha. So whatever I need to do, I'll do it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
When I mentioned going back to Nougat via Partition DL I was talking about going back to full stock KDZ, not using a Nougat TWRP-flashable zip. Doing it the old-school way I was suggesting is harder but more thorough. You would use Dev Patched LGUP to go back to Nougat, wiping out TWRP. You would still have unlocked bootloader. Then you would LGUP to a

Pie KDZ which has fastboot flash commands, then reinstall TWRP

, reformat internal memory, then flash an Android 10 ROM.

Your way is easier.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

That link is to JohnFawkes 20k, which is Oreo. Nougat starts with 10 then letter.

Nougat = 10 + letter

Oreo = 20-something + letter

Pie = 30-something + letter (except for Sprint which didn't go by the LG naming rules)

The Nougat TWRP flashable zips were released in the Telegram thread.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheCoryGuy:
Okay... I'm nervous. So you think I can do it without messing up recovery? Darn it.

Could I be so bold as to ask you if you have an instant messenger of some sort? I would greatly appreciate it!!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Flash back to 20K Oreo for now. Use the Permission changer app to make it be "permissive" so camera works OK.

That Oreo is stable. You don't need Pie for now -- if you just want to make the phone work. ;)

If it works, then you can flash back to Pie TWRP flashable zip later if you wish.

In the future you can find the Nougat TWRP flashable zip posted in the Telegram thread.

Should. Since it supports qc4. Haven't tried it yet though as I still use the stock charger since it works well enough for my needs. But there seems to be issues as per vids made. Some work, some don't.

What i can say is it saves you a few minutes, but if you think thata negligible or doesn't benefit you then dont buy it if it's just for the F1. If other devices you use has qc4 or uses quck charging 20watts then buy it for future proofing

After degradation set in the barely 10 month old battery (at least 10% loss) I have switched to a 10W QC 2.0 charger. This happened despite keeping battery between 30-80% charge. My older (Redmi) devices didn't show any degradation until 2.5 & 3.5 year mark and 10W charger was used. I don't game (other than the occasional casual game like Sudoku etc) or flashed any fast charging/thermal mod in any of my devices. Folks with Mi 8 have also reported battery degradation in less than a year and QC 3.0 charging was used there as well.

QC 4.0 is of questionable value as it will net to only a modest speedup in charging time.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] mecoromeo:
Haven't had issues with battery life nor degradation, but I have been hearing issues with battery and screens with Poco, and battery issues with Mi8. It may be the battery manufacturer was just bad or most got bad batteries. I wouldn't say its QC because most phones that have any quick charge protocol (newer ones after the Poco and Mi8) had good battery life anyway. I mean my friends Oppo phone is doing well despite that having the vooc tech.
