Most likely not. I've had that notification blocked for over a year now.

I just dumped my firmware (10i) using the patched LGUP. The phone is in Download/Firmware Update mode. Is there any way to get out of this besides pulling the battery? Thanks

I have an H918 that is running 10i and is still ARB 0. I am researching the various root methods and I am wondering if there is any real benefit to staying on ARB 0. If there is, I'll go with DirtyCow, if not, I can go with Lafsploit. If I use Lafsploit and flash 10p, and increment to ARB 1...

"Lifetime Calls" in settings is a great indicator of a used phone for sure, but I don't think the H918 has it. My VS995 has it, but neither of my H918's have it, unfortunately. They only have "up time" which only tells you how long the phone has been on since the last power cycle.

I was recently in the same boat so I'll take a stab at this. By "genuine", are you asking if it is a real H918 or are you asking if it is "new/unused"? The listing says it's new. I would say there is about a 99.9999999999% chance it is not "new/unused". All of your suspicions are valid. I...

I've read just about every thread about speaker issues and haven't seen any discussion about this, so here goes... I just switched from Verizon on a VS995 (running 17a) to T-mobile (H918). At the moment, I have 2 H918's. One is on 10i and the other is on 10u. All phones are unrooted/stock. The...

Yes, I'm in the US. totalwireless.com. I haven't tried it yet. True, the VS995 is pretty useless on GSM networks.

Does anyone know if there are any actual physical differences between an H918 from late 2016 and one from late 2017? Any hardware improvements/changes? Thanks

Just for grins I tried my T-Mobile SIM in my VS995 tonight and after setting up the APN, the best I could get was "H". It briefly flashed 4G LTE for about 10 seconds though... Your best bet is to go with an MVNO that uses Verizon's network. Total Wireless has a pretty decent deal that I have...

I wasn't able to get Debloater to work on my LG V20 VS995, so I followed BombeerHC's advice and used adb to list all the packages, and it actually works! Surprisingly easy. Thanks! I was able to see a list of 265 packages. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any of the packages I was hoping to...

I just did this on a new VS995 and I didn't have to do the secondary power button press. That didn't work. I just held the Volume Down button and Power button and the phone booted into System Recovery. It gave the following options: 1. Continue Power Up 2. Safe mode 3. USB debug mode 4...

Is there a way to tell if a VS995 has been refurbished? I know there is an app for Samsung phones called Phone Info. It will tell you if the phone is refurbished and it tells how many times the headphone and power jacks have been connected etc. Is there anything like this for the V20? Are...

That's a great idea. It appears that I have to be rooted to access power button input. I plan to root so maybe this will be my best option. Thanks for replying

Yes, TuneIn is definitely overriding the system screen timeout and there are no settings to disable this. I have tried to have Tasker turn off the screen when TuneIn is running, but it isn't working which is why I asked for help here. Any suggestions?

The TuneIn app overrides the Android system screen timeout. If I don't manually turn the screen off, it will stay on indefinitely. Not good. First, I made a task in Tasker that sets the screen timeout to 1 minute. Next, I made a profile in Tasker that runs this task when the TuneIn app is...
