    Hi, I bought an "unlocked" version of this phone a month or so ago. It is stuck on A7.1.2, security April 2018.. No OTA updates have been offered. I have tried contacting LG, but they tell me I have to talk to Sprint (the carrier the phone was issued by). They tell me the phone is unlocked...

    thanks, but i'm still having problems. again, please excuse my ignorance with how this all works. in the bubbleupnp settings, the cca shows up in the renderers, as does foobar, when it's open. when i highlight the cca, then open foobar, i'll hear the cca do its initial bbep (after switching the...

    hi, i didn't get to finish the title. i just got a 5x, and previously have had an n5. both seem to have the same problem with the native android messaging app (used to be messenger, now it's android messages). anyway, if i'm talking on the phone, i get no audible notification of an incoming...

    Thread nexus 5 gps not working (back to mb contacts problem)

    hi, i just got a used n5, 32, but am noticing it has the gps fix errors that the early models had. i pried the back cover off, and did the card stock fix (there are youtube videos), but it still isn't locking on regularly, taking forever for an initial fix and constantly loses a fix while...

    Post Muffled sound after MOB30P update

    omg, this is killing me. i can't hear rings etc when i'm working, and barely at all in a silent room. my phone isn't rooted, and i'm a tech dunce. are there any relatively straightforward links to solving this...eg, flashing the older rom? i can't have this phone acting like this.

    i got the notification that i could download the mm 6 ota yesterday. instead of doing it right away, i did a factory wipe, so that the phone would be cleared up, first. after doing that, i no longer have the notification. did i lose my place? i don't want to do this via desktop method. phone...

    Thread [Q] can't hear any audible tone from texts/emails while talking on phone

    i just got another n5, after having sold one a few months back. i also have a n4 i use for work. my biggest gripe (and i hope there is a fix for this now with 5.0) is that while talking on the phone, there is no audible beep/tone/sound from an incoming text, or email. this seems to have started...

    Thread [Q] random google maps turn by turn nav problems

    has anyone ever experienced instances (it seems randomly) where the voice nav on g maps won't give you street names, but just turn and distance directions? i can't always be watching the screen, and this is a bummer. it happens randomly, so that's why i'm checking here.

    Post sold nexus 4 yesterday in perfect condition, guy tells me today it's not working

    this is a cautionary tale of how to (and not to) sell a phone. i go through phones like underwear, and i can tell you that covering your own butt is the easiest way to avoid these unfortunate situations. first off: NEVER have someone to your home. you never know who you're dealing with...

    i don't think anyone has a problem, i was just wondering if there was an app or setting that allowed for those tones. no big deal, i'll live without them on the n4.

    Post no audible notifications whil on a current call?

    yes, that's what i mean. calls come through audibly, but not texts or emails. i like that function on my other phones. i'm just wondering if it's a kk thing, or the hardware itself.

    Post no audible notifications whil on a current call?

    hmm, most of the other android phones i've owned had this feature. it kind of sucks when i'm driving for work (which i do a lot) and have my headphones on for calls. i can't hear or feel a vibration at that point. i'm not big on Bluetooth headphones. i still like the analog. :) so i guess...
