[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Neera:
This has been driving me insane. I upgraded from a G6 yesterday.

When I connect the G8 to my PC the Android System notification "Tap to change USB options" does not come up in the notification shade, so of course it stays in the default "charging only" mode and the PC can't recognize it.

It's not the USB cable. I tried several and they all work with other phones flawlessly. Also updated the LG universal driver on my PC (Win 10) just in case.

I have USB debugging enabled in the Developer Options and while there is also a "select USB configuration" option, it doesn't work!

The menu comes up for a split second and instantly disappears...

Does anyone else have this problem? So far I really like this phone, but no USB connectivity which means no USB tethering or adb or just even moving large media files around etc etc is just not something I can tolerate.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Neera:
For anyone curious, after talking with LG the phone was returned. It was most likely a faulty charging port.

Already have a replacement phone and it doesn't have any of the above USB issues.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Eclipsegr:
I have the exact same issue right now, after 2 years of use of the phone!

Have been trying for a day to find a solution and I couldn't...

2 weeks ago, the battery wouldn't charge fast... from the 'usual' 1.5 hour that it was taking, it now takes 4-5 hours... I thought it was the battery, so today I just received the new one and I was about to change it... I thought of making a backup first, which I did... I wanted to transfer it to my PC for safety but I just can't... it's not the cable (tried other phones), it's not my PC (tried it on another PC and my laptop)...

I now see this post... so I guess I have to be patient enough for another 2 weeks to order and receive a new Charging port...

I really don't want to change my phone... have been using LG for more than a decade now, and I really don't know what to buy next... all else are either way too expensive or just of way lower quality...

Thanks for the update dear Neera!

PS: battery takes too long to get charged, but its use life remains as is... so I didn't think that would be the problem, but couldn't figure out what else it could be...I will need a new one soon anyways, so it's good to have it and change it together with the new charging port...

BRO have you got any solution
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] L22EEW:
Again, another little problem.

I am currently downloading emails to my Vario III throughout the day [with no problem]. However if I wish to reply to any, then I am not able to reply to the email using my Vario III.

If & when I try to send an email, all I am getting is "looking for changes" down in the bottom left of screen. Then a few seconds later, get this message:

Again all the settings are correct, as I am using the same settings on my Outlook on my desktop PC.

Any help would be greatful!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] marky_mark:
Received a samsung note 20 ultra from samsung.com that was defective since day one. Phone shuts off randomly, mostly when its in my pocket or not being used. Sometimes I have to put it on the charger for a few minutes before being able to turn on even though the battery is already charged. Anyone have similar issues? BTW it has been factory reset many times and auto restart is off. Even shuts off in safe mode (although not as frequently).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Have it replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
You should have it replaced asap.

Since this is probably a hardware issue causing the phone to shut off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Samsung motherboard strikes again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] freezingpoint:
This happened to me as well before. Returned immediately to Amazon who I bought from.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
Have it replaced asap bud, you don't want to be stuck with a lemon then have to pay a deductible for a replacement if wait too long.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yeah replace it.

Try this though, clear the system cache on the boot menu.

Be interesting to see if this gets it... probably not but nothing to lose.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
It won't since he said he done factory reset many times and issue remains. So clearing cache won't fix it.

Hello guys i have OnePlus 7t pro 5G McLaren Edition i installed custom rom and i root the phone after using it for awhile I'm getting Crash dump mode don't know why? :confused:
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] yo_honey:
Reflash the rom after backing up your data.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] ajsmsg78:
I had the same issue after about five days of running EvolutionX. I'm trying AOSIP right now to see if it was Evo that was causing the issue or if it's all ROMS for this device that cause it. If so I'd recommend going back to stock.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] AssyrianHero:
I'll try that thanks.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] AssyrianHero:
I did flash EvolutionX and i tried AOSIP I'm getting same issue Crash dump mode.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] champ784:
And are you using the latest platform tools for flashing?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] AssyrianHero:
"Problem fixed" i did some extra things from my end which is skip fastboot -w and just flash any ROM once flashing is done the phone will start while it's starting press power + volume up and down and go back to recovery and do full wipe and start the phone again PROBLEM FIXED ☺️

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] tahlsr:
Hey all,

I'm curious if anyone is willing to chime in to let me know if they are running the US unlocked model: SM-G781U1 on Verizon. I have an existing activated Verizon sim card (currently in a Pixel 4 XL) and could easily put it in a US unlocked model. I'm mostly considering the unlocked model since it seems like it's easier to get better deals on it and I tend to prefer unlocked models. I suspect it will work fine, maybe without some 5G bands but that's of no concern for me. Can anyone confirm if they have this setup and if wifi calling works? Sometimes I have seen Verizon block wifi calling on unlocked phones and for me at least this is an important feature because of my lack of cell signal where I'm at.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed some light.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] people211:
I am and it does give you the option to set up wifi calling. I set it up and was able to make a call while in airplane mode. No 5G though. Still says LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] tahlsr:
Thanks so much for that info. That is really helpful and gives me the extra confidence that it's the next right phone for me. I love my Pixel 4 XL but want something new and am also thinking I may actually utilize Dex a bunch so we'll see. I appreciate you taking the time to test that for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] grendude:
I'm hoping you can help me out by please posting images of our unlocked phone working with wifi calling.

Samsung is telling me that it doesn't work and never will, but verizon is telling me that they have hundreds of these phones working with wifi calling.

I believe Verizon and you! and want samsung to do something to fix my phone which is clearly not working the way it should. They have asked me to verify that it is even possible.

Please post images of your phone model # with wifi calling working.

THANK YOU!

Problem solved with another hard reset (the third)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dt3:
Hello everyone I am a new member with a bit of a problem. I bought my tytn II off of ebay and the seller is no help so I am hoping someone here will be kind enough to lend a hand. when I bring up tom tom on my tytn it ask for an activation code which I dont have a clue about. So I would love to use tom tom but have been out of luck so if anyone could help I would be greatful.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Yusuke14:
Activation code is something you need to buy from http://www.tomtom.com

If it came with TomTom 7 though, your outta luck for now cause it's not 'officially' available for windows mobile devices yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jromeo350:
using v6 or 7?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ach2:
There are versions of TomTom out there which don't need activation - I think v6.032 which came on my CD is the best (I'd upload a copy, but I think the mods won't allow this). However, you still need to buy the maps...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dt3:
tomtom 6 is my version I am using
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:

The Korean model is also in the beta prog. the SM-N986N but it is not a dual sim variant.

The only dual sim-snapdragon variant is the SM-N9860 that's why we are stuck.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Limeybastard:
Too early to tell. Will update later with my finding. Provisional testing shows the U1 has less of a green bias on dark grey areas but more of a yellow bias.

Still November patch for N9860! Not android 11....N986U, N986N, N986B etc. all have OneUI 3.0. What's wrong with N9860, Samsung?! What a shame! I paid over 1300 USD on this phone to get update long time after the old models like S10, S20, Note 10?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] maxpaynezm:
Now we have second update android 11,january patch, all HK version no only N9860 have very slow update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] tdodd:
While I'm as disappointed as the next person, perhaps the numbers involved do not make the N9860 a priority. Based on population statistics Hong Kong has fewer residents than London and roughly 10% of the UK as a whole. How many of those own an N9860?

Compare to the USA market or Exynos market and it is quite a niche product. I guess it's no surprise that it's at the back of the queue. It's shameful that we don't have December security updates though, never mind January. Not at all cool, Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] graveyardghost:
Guys any news when will we the owners of SM-N9860 will get one ui 3.0 or android 11? Looks like its a model samsung does care to update. Im worried it may be the same for all future updates as well..

That's the nail in the coffin I was waiting for scre* it I am changing to S21U definitely not the HK version
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] tdodd:
The same thought did cross my mind, but having been burned (so far at least) by Samsung on the N9860, I'm reluctant to throw £1300+ their way (N9860 cost me £853) for an official S21U because they've already pissed me off.

In addition to which, no s-pen silo and no expandable storage. Cameras might be better and so might 5G support for a local purchase, but not enough to sway me. I don't need faster processors or greater battery life.

I'm sure the N9860 will catch up soon enough (Feb) so I'll keep my powder dry for now and stick with the Note.
