Thanks for this review. I likely wouldn't have invested in these, but this solidified that.

3~6% overnight is completely acceptable to me. This is the least time I've spent on a charger on any smartphone to date. I'm still consistently amazed by it. Previously (last on an LGV20) if I forgot to charge my phone overnight, I could wake up to a dead one. Happened more than once. I don't...

I've been mulling that for ages. I am on Ting, which is great, but there's a minor difference between the two. Namely that on the high end of a possible monthly bill/data use, P-Fi tops out with it's Bill Protection feature. But on the low end, P-Fi will never be as cheap as my occasional $40...

So just now reading that TMob phones don't get the Pixel updates like everyone else? I'd been refreshing my 'check update' all day, and nothing. Over on Twitter the masses are getting uneasy. I know I (and most of XDA) are in the minority about demanding timely updates compared to the average...

This is interesting. I wasn't aware that Tmob was requiring a carrier specific update on Pixels. Ive been refreshing the 'check update' all damn day, not realizing this is a thing. Guess I'll likely be doing ye olde sideload tonight when I get home. But in the interim, does anything have more...

Just a couple! (Well. That's annoying. )

Ya know, I bought 2 new Pixel 2's (regular for my wife,XL for me) just a week before the renders started to show up, and for just a bit I was having buyers remorse. 'Should I have just waited? Will this phone be inferior in just a few months?' After seeing this notch crap (IMO horrible design)...

So gawdamned weird, hahaha, "This item does not ship to the United States." Can you send me one? ;)

Yeah, some people still insist that's an "issue" and can't be ... "reminded" otherwise. I leave all my **** charging when I'm not using it. That's what the chips in the chargers do, make sure the cells are being charged properly. I'm pretty certain this won't be a "real" issue for her, once...

Yeah, she has a specific set of needs where that might not work. She indeed uses the BT stuff in most instances. But for sleeping, being an insomniac, she needs the whitenoise/audiobook going all night. Assuming they last that long per charge, and having to charge them every morning, not to...

Oh man. I just ordered a Pixel 2 (for her), and a Pixel 2 XL (for me) about 4 hours ago. And did not think about this issue until now. It's not an issue for me, but the wife falls to sleep listening to audio books, etc. I can't believe there's no solution outside a bluetooth dongle to plug your...

Just a note, new update this morning from Sprint: Software Update: LG - V20 (LS997) ver, LS997ZVB LG - V20 (LS997) Software Version: LS997ZVB Release Date: 12/5/2017 Method: Available Over the Air Version: Subversion: Hardware Version: Fixes: November Security update...

Waiting on the hope that ARB1+ will eventually be cracked, but just wanted to say a thanks to runningnak3d and loopytee for all the time and effort put into this. This is exactly why XDA is great.

In the same boat, absentmindedly took the update, and now, well, here we are. I'll continue to watch the work here on a hope, and thanks runningnak3d for the work you're doing.

Can you tell me what menu options you used to get to your ARB with that APK? None of the menus looked familiar enough for me to use, and my cautious nature has learned not to touch things I don't understand. ?

I'm unsure if this is the right place for this post? (It's been a while since I used XDA in earnest, can't remember the rules about bounties...) But count a $20 from me to this.

Yup. That's the NUMBER ONE reason for me. True adblocking. Been doing my normal browsing for the last week on this unrooted device, and (long stream of explitives here) the amount ads that I had forgotten about are stunning. Getting rid of bloatware would be nice as well. Have to admit though...

Interesting! Good info, I'm still digging through this forums on this device, trying to wrap my head around it. This really is a 'best bang for the buck' phone right now, esp if one is on a budget, getting a slightly older device. (I was limited to 300 or less by the wife in my search for a...

yeah, the unpaid work of XDA devs is a thankless job. I try to make donations to devs that have made my life better. And I suspect with the relative obscurity of this phone, there won't be much more root dev'ing happening at all. Might have to make a new device gameplan. And I really, really...

No s**t. That's abysmal. How long has this model been like this? Is root a WIP, or a done deal unless LG/carriers relinquish? I swear to F'ing gawd, this is the last time I buy a device w/o researching the ... heck out of it here first. IDK what I was thinking.

Ugh. :eek: Thanks for the response. The phone is brilliant (after rocking the same phone for over 4 years, even last years phone feels like magic), but this might end up being a deal breaker for me. Do you know off the top of your head what carrier models are still rootable? My MNVO carrier...

Hey guys, this is a new phone to me (was rocking a release date Note 3 until last week), and unfamiliar with this forum specifically. (Not sure how I like sticking all the carrier variants in one section, but given the relative obscurity of the phone, I guess it makes sense...) This seems like...

On LG V20 (Sprint, LS997), Nougat. Black screen on 1st version. Blank screen (w/wallpaper) on 2nd version. In both versions, the notification shade works, bottom menu works, otherwise unresponsive.

Just wanted to give a thanks to an old, but important post and poster. I got the N3 the day it was released, and was running it until literally day before yesterday. I rooted and flashed in a few hours of owning it, and not much later (a few weeks?) started having serious GPS issues. I was over...

I hope this is the right thread for this... Pardon my ignorance here, it's been a few years since I frequented this forum, or even XDA... Is this what I want to use to get back to total stock, unrooted for resale? (I've been rocking the Note 3 since it came out, FINALLY upgraded to something...

(EDIT: I think I got it figured.)

Thanks, guys. When this phone came out, I SUPER wanted one bad, but pretty glad I avoided it, if what I've read online is truly a common thing and not just a vocal minority. (I tried to see if I could find actual failure stats/percentages, but nothing concrete.) And yeah, I looked at swappa...

So hey guys. I've not really used XDA in a while, last time really active was when I got my Note 3 (that I am STILL using today.) My budget for a "new" phone is small, aprox 200-300. I was looking at the LGv20's, but not able to nail one down (locally) for that price. I have an offer of a great...

try posting in the thread for the ROM.

that "bloated" information is usually important, so read it, thats what we do here. if you don't like reading tons of information and willing to dig though "50 pages" of questions and answers, this site, respectfully sir/madam, isn't for you. it's what we do here. example: if you'd been reading...

first, thanks for pointing out the grimlock kern fix. so weird how I can search and search and search... and forget to read the 2nd post, haha! I'm on ver 26, kern works fine, no SoD, but batt life impacted pretty hard. (closed the lid, let it sit all night, one batt gone) hows yours on 30, just...

yeah, that's the weird thing. it happens in All apps, with any keyboard. it also happens before I install my apps with TB. and im all stock, on this rom. it was also happening on straight stock too. im no noob, and im completely flummoxed. im literally posting this here out of desperation...

that's the thing, its not any specific KB based function. that red line, and spellchecker suggestions appears no matter Which KB I use. its Google based. most suggestions on the interwebs say to go into 'language and input" and turn off spell check. but... in the TWizafied version of the stock...

wondering if anyone knows how to turn this off? ive been through every setting i can find, or think might be relevant. it drives me f***ing crazy, since most KBs already have a spellchecker...

If you look back a page or two, you'll see better links posted by me and another.

Heres some actual help.

for whatever reason those links in his OP are dead, here is a functioning set from his other forums. https://hybridroms.com/index.php?/topic/56-rom-n900pvpueoc5-100-stock-pre-rooted-busybox-deodexed-no-knox-6112015/#entry598 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347758388...

I've msgd the appropriate person about it.

if you'd like, I could create some torrents for these when I got home...? I've a seedbox with some extra bandwidth.

odin OC5 tar. odin cfautoroot. odin twrp. done. easy peasy.

I think if it was 6 pages of Xposed, might be something to back off a bit on... but since this is a new stock base, one where the original OTA had issues with playing nice with a few things, a little convo on the modding topic is probably OK. and many people were holding off on Lollipop for just...

yeah, i figured you'd twisted the hell out of it. mostly Xposed working is what I really meant. And being able to get rid of the blue in dropdown, ugh. a lst to work from would be cool, dood.

that right there is enough reason to flash this ROM.

its already posted for download, and running well! check the development sect!

brilliant. our community needed this. as promised, donation incoming for your efforts. (sorry it cant be more, you deserve it. everyone should be aware that this dev has done us a HUGE favor.) 9XT69614RJ7600116

(I'm late to the party) ((also still drinking my morning coffee))

depends on who you ask. I'm on stock rooted lollipop right now, with Nova Launcher. I love it. there is a fellow putting together a stock rooted deodex that works with Xposed over in the gen chat sect, and that's going to be great, should be released soon. I'm not a fan of theming at all, and...

OC5 is the Samsung code for the latest version of their software. the letters and number correspond to the date is was released, can't remember how it translates... doesn't matter. go here. read the whole thread. its not really that long. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3095540

EDIT: mod moved thread to correct section this is the Dev section, where people post ROMs they've made. for things like this, either post in the Q&A section, or post in a thread related to the ROM/app you're using/having a problem with. I'm under the impression there Are No custom kernels for...

yup, hardware issue. sorry.
