I'm frustrated as this is the second LG G6 I've purchased with significant problems.

There are three significant issues which bother me about the latest phone:

1. It's 2020 and there is no update to Android 9, stuck on 8.

2. There is a screen "issue" or defect. The bottom edge bleeds white. It's about 1/16th of an inch or so along the bottom edge: very distracting when watching video content.

3. the quad dac doesn't appear to be working properly. There is very audible hiss. It doesn't matter which pair of headphones I'm using. Playback sounds fine when it's turned off.

I'm really impressed with the overall build quality aside from the functionality issues listed above.

If I could get a partial refund, I'm thinking about keeping it. Should I just return it instead? I don't think I'm going to get a better price and returning and waiting on refunds and phones is getting to be a significant inconvenience.

[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Questions & Answers] kj1206:
Hi just wanted provide some details between the differences between the two this time difference is not just a extra 10x camera and cemeric back but alot more

1 . Extra 10x camera

2. SFS 1.0 ( 2 fold faster than ufs 3.1)* see the explanation below

3. 12 gb ram standard on both 256 gb and 512 gb

4. OIS built in 50MP camera please note that mate 40 pro has the same camera but without OIS

5.Ceramic back

6. 3D Depth Sensing Camera instead of laser sensor which you get on mate 40 pro

all in all mate 40 pro plus is a different phone than mate 40 pro

price difference isnt much on JD.com mate 40 pro 256gb is 6999 yaun ( 1060$) and mate 40 pro plus 256gb is 8999 yaun ( 1360$) so for 300$ more you get so much more that matters alot.

Based on the results of measuring the homegrown Huawei SFS 1.0 flash module, it was possible to establish that it provides almost a twofold increase in the speed of operation in comparison with the UFS 3.1 flash memory.

According to reports, the sequential write speed was 1280 MB/s, and random 548 MB/s.

In comparison, these figures for UFS 3.1 are 700 MB/s, and 200-300 MB/s, respectively, GizChina reported.

I have unlimited internet for my HTC Vogue, but no free text messaging. Does anyone know of a program that lets you send text messages over the internet instead of as a text message? I know there are websites that do this, but they're kinda annoying to use. I'm on Bell too if thats important.
[Touch CDMA General] thefish123:
Buy a $5 text messaging package :-) But seriously it’s probably going to be a bigger pain to jump through those kinds of hoops then it’s worth. What if someone text messages you? It will come in as a regular text message, it will not get routed through the Internet even if you send your original txt through some website or via some special software.

I use OctroTalk as my XMPP client (jabber/Google Talk) to get connected to Google Talk.
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
You can use AIM. I'm not sure if it sends SMS to out of the US though, but if they are in the US just do +1(number)
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
It may be possible, but I haven't seen this. SMS is huge these days, so I'm sure carriers try to prevent this from happening since they probably make a good deal of money with these text packages.

I do know however, that when I used to use the VZAccess Manager to tether my phone, I could sends SMS. I didn't have a text plan, since it was just a USB modem, turns out the text would take away from my allowed data usage of 5GB. I kept asking the rep how it was possible, but of course she had no idea.

Either way, just spend the small amount of money for the text, I'm sure you get a bunch for about $5.
[Touch CDMA General] thefish123:
SMS is really very useful. It’s like IM everywhere all the time. The new ROM from Bell Mobility for the Vogue has threaded SMS which makes it just like having an IM app.

I also have various RAID arrays and environmental monitors (temp, humidity, etc) in server rooms across the GTA that will SMS me when something goes wrong. It’s such a great way for me to add value to the services I offer my customers. I can walk in their front door because something is wrong before they even know there is a problem.

[Touch CDMA General] neurocutie:
Text messaging over the Internet is trivial. All you have to do is send an email to the carrier's EMAIL/SMS gateway. The tricky thing of course is that you need to know the carrier of the recipient and the carrier's gateway. There are lists of these things on the Internet. For example, here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_gateway

Just a few are:

Verizon: NUMBER@vtext.com

Sprint: NUMBER@messaging.sprintpcs.com

Tmobile: NUMBER@tmomail.net

AT&T/Cingular: NUMBER@cingularme.com

Using any decent email client to send the email. Limit the entire text to 160 characters. The other issue is what you put down as a reply address, your email address or your phone's address (which is just like that listed above). That would depend on whether you *really* don't want to RECEIVE replies by SMS either.

If you don't know the recipient's carrier, you can try the service TELEFLIP.COM. Send the textmsg email to:

NUMBER@teleflip.com

and it will figure out the carrier for you. It mostly works, but isn't 100%.

Oh, and there are also analogous carrier email gateways for MMS (picture msgs). They are also listed in the link above. For example, for Sprint, send the email with the pic attached to:

NUMBER@pm.sprint.com

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Tuppiman:
Here is what I did to finally fix charging issue for my poco f1:(Remove [/url] behind links, since i have low posts I cannot paste links directly)

1.Flashed seshstation on kernel. (Go to seshkernel.tk/[/url] and follow the guide given there, I didnt clean flash though,) and thats it,

although I had to start charging my phone when it was below 40c,but it was only once, and my phone is fast charging now even after reboot at higher than 40c temperatures.

Here is the all of the files you can download if you are too lazy to manually download one by one:

mediafire.com/folder/6sr9mm81rwgc4/POCO+F1[/url]

Here is what I did step by step:

1.Go to twrp and wipe dalvik/art cache and cache

2.Flash the kernel (r10.zip)

3.Wipe cache

4.Reboot

5.Go to Magisk and flash Bens thermal

6.Open Kernel manager (Only franco or smartpack kernel supported)

7.Go to script manager and select Fastcharge.sh and check on apply on boot

8.Go to settings of the kernel manager and make sure On Boot delay is set at instant

9.Open your device settings and search autostart and give permissions to your kernel manager to autostart

9.Reboot and you should be done

Remember first charging should be started only below 40c, refer to ampere or accubattery app for details on charging or you can use your kernel manager as well.

If it still persists, there is a thermal config file included which you can paste to vendor/etc. It may cause your device to heat up because the thermal thresholds are higher now so be careful not to make it too hot for your phone, any damage occurred is not my fault by any means and wont be subjected for penalties. *Use at your own risk

(Just a formality, its mostly safe unless you go crazy and start heating your device till 60c)

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit nervous about the situation, first of all I hope that i'm writing in the right place. If it's not the case, feel free to move this post.

To explain it briefly, I tried to set the root mode on my S8+ thanks to Odin v3.10 and I went to the Downloading mode. But during the installation, I think I unplugged the cable a bit too early.

So my phone now is automatically rebooting, (display an image with android logo in a blue screen and 'deleting').

And when I try to go again in the downloading mode, it display "downloading...".

I tried to relaunch the Odin flash but it doesn't work and ask me to restore my phone.

I tried to set the root mode to get important data that I accidently delete, it's very important for me and now I don't even know if I could get all my data back....

Thanks for your help, and don't hesitate if you need more precisions.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Techronico:
Just some helpful advice from a recovered extended battery case addict. In the early days when phones didn't have quick charge and we're about 25-50% smaller, I always bought my phones based on the support of manufacturers making extended battery cases for it. As the phone market matured, batteries became bigger and locked in, I noticed that my power consumption was less likely to hit the max of the stock battery. The weights of the phones increased as well and I noticed a chronic pain on my pinky. This combined with the fact that the extended battery cases didn't have quick charge, rapid charge, super charge, it whatever "special" charge came with the phone, as well as a key missing feature of charge passthrough, caused me to drop the extended battery madness. I expect you to come to this conclusion on your own, because like me, you won't be convinced of extended battery cases being a bad joke until you see it for yourself. Make sure there is a good return policy.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
Hi techronico,

Appreciate the reply. As far as quick charge goes that will damage the battery in the case the same way it can damage the battery in the phone. This is why I have a slow charger to charge my phone healthily instead of risking permanently frying the phone's battery which will shorten its life. I'm no fan of quick charge.

Regarding pass-through the seller confirms that the power case is equipped with heat, overpower and temp protections. What do you think?

Just to be sure the power case doesnt degrade the phone battery do you think its best to charge the phone case and phone separately and not connected together?

Looking forward to your reply.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ben63vw:
I would never spend money on anything like that since I can get 2 days on a single charge on my 20X. All the new phones now use LiPo batteries (the same cell type used in Tesla cars) and have no problems with quick charging and don't exhibit memory as it's predecessor battery types used to have.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
Hi ben,

I'm not talking about quick charging. I love slow charging.

Anyway I get 3 days from my 20X. The problem is when I have 30% left it starts to drain like crazy. Thats the reason for wanting the battery case.

Fingerprint option missing in "Security" settings after flashing custom ROMs

Hello! I'm trying to install custom ROMs on my OnePlus 8 Pro (IN2020) and have the problem with fingerprint sensor: when I'm using stock firmwares (A10/11, MSM/fastboot) or GSI (kernel doesn't matter), I have an option in "Security" with ability of using fingerprints. But when I'm flashing any custom ROM, I have an option disappeared. I've tried restoring my persist partition, tried kernels from various authors (even CleanSlate 1.2.7 with special fingerprint fix), tried not using Magisk and so on. Nothing helps. I guess there can be different types of fingerprint sensor hardware on our phones, so drivers required. Dev's help will be appreciated, also I'm ready to test and send any info needed. Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Very common issue, run through the fix persist img position problem thread, at least ask in there.

Bare in mind that custom ROMs like GSI's do not have fingerprint functionality, it allows you to create data but not to use it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] IronSingh:
Easy Solution,

MSM to Android 11.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Welld1s:
I don't think you've read it quite right. I tried fixing persist partition, also GSI ROMs have the fingerprint option for me.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Welld1s:
How can I flash custom ROMs after flashing A11 MSM??? Sounds impossible for me.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
I've read that the option is there but after enrollment it fails to function.

So you've been through the persist fix?? Have you asked in that said thread?! There's a tonne of people who have had this issue and have got it fixed.

I'm sure they'll know what to do with it
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Welld1s:
There is a difference in our situations: their enrollment is failed, but I don't see an option at all. Like the driver or device is not found, so Android thinks I don't have a fingerprint scanner. Tried the persist fix, yes. I'm not a total noob in here, been ROM addict from Samsung S3 stuff :) I think the problem is we have another fingerprint scanner hardware with different driver needed on some instantnoodlep devices.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
I know mate, but that's the only thing I could suggest, the GSI and the OOS issues were always different.

Have you changed firmwares, like from regional to global?

I think it would at least be with talking to the person who came up with the persist fix as they obviously know a lot more about this specific issue.

I highly doubt that the hardware is broken.

Not suggesting you're a noob either, just suggesting you've missed something potentially, that could happen to anyone.

Personally I don't know how to fix it as I've never had they issue.

Good luck with it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Welld1s:

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Just curious...you're both on 11 right?

The persist fix I believe was originally intended for Android 10 (I know that's when it came out)

My point being, would it be worth downgrading to 10 then running the through the fix?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Welld1s:
Sir, I don't have fingerprint option only on CUSTOM ROMS, which are currently running Android 10 only. I have it perfectly working on STOCK ROMS (A10/A11) and GSI.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
GSI ROMs don't have the fingerprint working mate. .

Thats pretty well known I believe

And a custom ROM would be a complete ROM a GSI is simply a system image, you almost always have to expect issues.. The title of this thread is misleading for that very reason, should have been called "No fingerprint on GSI ROMs"

What happens if you use lineage or Carbon both built for the 1+8pro, my guess is that it'll work.

You could try to flash an actual custom ROM, then wipe system and install the GSI, if that doesn't work then it won't work.

Nothing to do with your hardware, driver, persist or anything else its just a GSI limitation.

Also stop with the patronising attitude, there's no call for it, it doesn't help you, me or anyone else.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Welld1s:
I guess we have a misunderstanding here. What I did and the result - no fingerprint in security options:

1. Flashed stock A10 firmware via MSM, updated to latest A10 version with zip-archive locally

2. Unlocked the bootloader

3. Rebooted to the system once

4. Booted to fastbootd and flashed any custom ROM for both slots (means Lineage OS, Pixel Experience and Carbon ROM) with data/metadata wipes

5. Rebooted to installed system, passed initial setup

6. Set the PIN, got no fingerprint option in settings.

I can repeat: I have it working on stock A10/11 AND GSI, only Lineage, Pixel and Carbon custom ROMs on A10 are affected. Not making something up, not trolling or "patronising", just trying to provide all the useful info that you, for some reason, don't want or can't accept. :/

Edit: my mistake, as I actually didn't try to add any fingerprint on GSI, so can't say that it works for 100% here. I'm just saying, that the option is in place in settings, but not when using custom ROMs like LOS and so on. No offense.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Then I'm not sure pal.

GSI I would expect it, lineage I haven't installed it but haven't heard anything to suggest it doesn't work.

Carbon ROM I'm pretty sure had the option for me, was a little flakey by it worked..

None taken, sorry I'd barely slept.

PS: seeing as you're on Android 10 why not use twrp? And is born slots necessary? I don't think I did that.

That's the only significant difference I can see between your method and mine.

Also that I set up the phone with a fingerprint each time, not sure if it did or not.

PPS: "don't want or can't accept" yes that's sarcasm pal just saying.

Tried with TWRP too, makes no difference for me. Both slots aren't necessary for sure, but that won't hurt too.

I think I tried literally anything except flashing LOS right on A11 OOS, which is a total nonsense. :^(
