    Post would you recommend the S7 in 2017 ?

    I've had an S7 (G930F) since it came out. A few months ago I broke it so bought an LG G6. After a week I found the display not as good (can't see the screen in strong sunlight while using the camera), camera interior to the old S7, missed touchwiz (surprisingly), but the biggest thing was the...

    Thread Messages broken with latest OTA? G930fd with g930f firmware

    I've just received an OTA update for my g930fd with BTU firmware, but after the install I am unable to open any text messages. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Post update today...

    My Taiwanese G6 is currently on H870DS10C. There's no OTA, but on LG Bridge there is a H870DS10E showing as available but when it tries to download it an error message comes up saying there is a problem with the server.....

    Post Faulty Battery or Software Issue?

    I notice you have 'media server' showing in your battery stats. My wife had that showing too and also had terrible battery life. Her fix was disabling the auto streaming in her Facebook app which plays videos while you scroll through posts. Now she has great battery life!

    Post EE and Samsung Pay?

    Thanks. I thought samsung pay would have been usable upon launch in the UK and missed that it hadn't been released here yet. I don't fancy flashing another country's firmware for now so will just be patient and wait for its release here. If it wasn't for the magnetic strip emulation I wouldn't...

    Thread EE and Samsung Pay?

    I've been using Android pay for a week but have found that where I live there are a lot of terminals that don't accept tap to pay via nfc. I notice that samsung pay can emulate the magnetic strip used on older terminals so thought may be worth giving it a go. I tried to download the app from...

    Post How fast is the SDcard slot compared to internal memory?

    Just Popped a Samsung Pro card in which is rated as 90/80 and an only seeing 54/21 so am assuming the sdcard interface is neutered in some way compared to some other higher end phones. Anyone else noticing this performance ceiling?

    Post How fast is the SDcard slot compared to internal memory?

    I was just looking at the benchmark results database for the "a1 SD benchmark" app and there are a few submissions that encourage me to think it may be possible with a card like the Samsung Pro series which can do around 80r/70w MB/s. Only thing that has me wondering is whether the card...

    Post How fast is the SDcard slot compared to internal memory?

    I've just borrowed an SDcard out of another phone (Samsung evo (yellow)) and benchmarked against the internal SD card and got the following scores: External - (read) 34.36MB/s, (write) 20.0MB/s Internal - (read) 89.76MB/s, (write) 53.35MB/s Has anyone found an SDcard that is as fast as the...

    Thread How fast is the SDcard slot compared to internal memory?

    Hi, I'm currently thinking about popping an SDcard in my xplay and was wondering how fast the slot runs at? I was thinking maybe I will be wasting my money getting the fastest card on the block if the slot speed is slower than the SD card. Also am curious in the difference in speed of the...

    Hi MastahF - thanks for your great work. Was wondering if you knew about a problem with CM13 nightlies and "stock" arm32 6.0 Gapps package where the hangouts app does not receive notifications, but if I try with the "pico" package notifications works fine. Is there something in the stock...

    I'll leave the bootloader alone then like you recommend. Would be just my luck to invoke the straw that broke the camels back! I performed all my updates with the play store and found an update for 'Motorola boot services' which I applied. Don't know if this is related but when I rebooted...

    Post [Q] XT1032 GB Retail - lollipop gpe back to f2fs based stock kitkat?

    hmmm? I was thinking if i was to flash the gpt.bin from a stock moto rom then this would setup the partitions as f2fs anyway before proceeding onto the next components to flash?

    Post [FASTBOOT] Google Play Edition images (semi-official)

    Thats a shame. Was hoping I could flash and forget. Was looking at the frequencies of the GPE Moto G and the UK version and looks like they both support the frequencies my carrier uses for 2 & 3G. Does this mean the radio hardware is the same, but the software (drivers?) are different? If this...

    Post [FASTBOOT] Google Play Edition images (semi-official)

    Does anyone have an idea what will happen for us not in the USA when an OTA occurs? On my Nexus 4 if you change any of the system files the OTA won't flash. Just thinking that if I use the international flashing instructions my modem will be different to a real GPE moto g and so OTA will fail...

    That would be enough to stop be from switching to CM10 sadly.

    Thanks. I had a read about this formula84 gapps package and noticed that people are saying the camera app tied into this Gallery.apk lacks some bells and whistles.
